By the way, with my recent posts about #multiplicity, I am open to questions. The views that motivated my #headmates and I to be open with multiplicity still stand.
#plurality #plural
I get told often that my #headmates might not have died, they could be in there somewhere...
They're dead. I'm in here, I can assure you they're dead. I don't find offerings of false hope comforting. In fact, it feels dismissive. I wish people would stop that.
They had been there forever, since the beginning of consciousness, even when one of us had gone through a denial phase. Continuously conscious, no pauses, no dormancy, still alive when not front. Now they aren't. #multiplicity #plurality
If you're part of a system, and you love your #headmates, don't forget to tell them. There might be a day when the opportunity to tell them is gone.
We (but also I; you'll see why in a moment) are proposing a new term for plurals everywhere. The term is:
kepholon (n.)
In the context of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), a kepholon refers to a self-state or identity that represents a dynamic integration of multiple, previously distinct alters, system parts, or aspects of self. A kepholon functions as a cohesive whole formed from some or all parts of the system, allowing for shared consciousness, memory access, and unified function.
Crucially, this integration is characterized by fluidity; the constituent parts within the kepholon retain their potential separateness and may dissociate or separate again under certain conditions (e.g., stress). It represents a state of integration without final fusion, where parts work together as one but have not permanently merged into a single, indivisible identity.
In this compound, keph- stands for the leading, directing, conscious, or executive function: the part that is currently "fronting," interacting with the world, or managing the system's interface with external reality. It represents the aspect taking charge or acting as the primary point of consciousness for the integrated state.
The -olon suffix connects the "head" function back to the broader holon concept (see below): an integrated entity composed of multiple parts that function as a cohesive whole but retain the potential for separation. It emphasizes that this "head" is not an isolated entity but the currently active face or director of that unified-but-fluid collective. The word "holon" was coined by author and philosopher Arthur Koestler in his 1967 book The Ghost in the Machine; from Greek holos (whole/entire) + -on (suffix denoting a particle or part).
🎵 I am she as you are he, as you are me and we are all together...🎵
I needed the word for me. Cuz I'm Ellis, and that's what I am, and these four motherfuckers want attribution or they're threatening to shatter me into four little tiny mes (which is them, so it's not really much of a threat, honestly 🤔 ).
Anyway, hi! My name is Ellis, and I'm a kepholon. 💙

Damn it, River.
My fucking headmate thought it was an excellent and hilarious fucking idea to schedule a neurologist appointment on the day our father died of brain cancer nine years prior and then make me handle it. At least Lazarus had the fucking foresight to get it switched to a virtual appointment several damn days ago so I didn’t have to go anywhere.
I’m never letting Mr. Batshit For Brainholes schedule anything ever again. This wasn’t fucking funny.
But at least we have that out of the way, and an EEG is scheduled for February 18. They might strobe the fuck out of our brainhole during that, so brace yourselves for utterly batshit post seizure posts from us truly. 😭
Fun fucking times. Thank you, Lazarus, for your excellent harm reduction work. At least you didn’t try to punk me for once.
I somehow summoned the energy (likely due to sheer irritation at River’s bullshit idea of a joke) to put clothes on and then shave my face later, so have selfies in honor of this most dubious occasion.
My left hand does whatever the fuck it wants, I guess. But at least this was a nice bit of gender euphoria today.
Once more, with my entire ass, FUCK YOU, RIVER.

I’m bored, so have a collection of memes that describe my headmate Castor.
He’s the system’s original host, and is known for showing up, giving Zero Fucks, Saying Very Cryptic Things, and then disappearing again.
What a fucking guy.

Lazarus speaks a dialect all their own.
Here are a few examples. Images are from our Bluesky account because I joined by accident trying to make Bridgyfed work yesterday, lol.
He was wearing a black oversized T shirt in headspace that said “chronically sick, eternally thicc” in green Gothic text framed by sparkle emojis and banjo emojis.Before the “chronically sick” shirt, they were wearing a shirt in headspace that was the same sort of thing, except with pink italicized text that read “want me to bone apple yeet you into the next life lmao”, whatever that means.
I think Lazarus may be the dumbest smart person I’ve ever met.
Sigh…

…i think we should properly introduce ourselves.
We are a system of… Currently five, possibly more, headmates. We are still learning as a plural system (and still learning other things, too), and we will take all the advice we can get for sorting through these thoughts.
Since we’ve recently set it up, you can check out this page to learn more about each of us we’ve found so far:

(...still a work in progress, we've never created a site before...)

Hey, everyone. Lazarus here. I don’t have a lot of energy right now. However, I’ve discovered that Google made a tool that combines certain emojis that I’ve found to be very handy when it comes to expressing emotions when I really have no idea where to start or am too tired to express the mixed bag I am experiencing emotionally. This is roughly what I am feeling right now, for example.
When you’re tired but still trying to figure out what the fuck is going on.I also want to share this cool playlist Theo cooked up 💛 Here it is:

And as a fun bonus treat in honor of 2025 already being odd, here’s a perennial favorite playlist of mine from years ago, the Last Polycule at the End of the World.

Insomnia and the cold weather have been kicking my ass physically and mentally and physically, but I’ve been having a lot of vivid dreams. So here’s a meme in honor of that that a friend/crush of mine sent me, lol.
Manifestation. ✨
I aim to be back tomorrow, lovely gremlins. Until then, I wish I was here:
I found this from the page Xochitl Banks on Facebook. This sounds lovely to my cranky body.Stay tuned for more magic. I will be dealing with my cantankerous body, hahahaaaaa….

I am a bit fascinated by the #multiplicity/ #headmate subculture. #headmates #plurals
Posted this elsewhere yesterday but it's going here now.
That's Courtney on the left, and me, Katie, on the right.
We are cute.
Courtney grabbed control today to set up and take her own selfie. We think she looks fantastic.
Thoughts?
<Courtney > I look amazing. It's great lighting too.
