The number of plural systems we've met by sheer chance really make me think that multiplicity is so much more common than they say it is, hah.
Sneak: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised! I mean, I feel like there are a lot of experiences under the greater plural umbrella that get categorized as something else (a spiritual/metaphysical experience, or a creative one, or or or...) and so have totally different cultures and language around it!
You had to 'splat' out letters of potentially upsetting words like 'abuse' (as 'ab*se').
Mori: Yeah, I remember seeing "f*m*ly" once. And others that I couldn't figure out WHAT the original word was. And it was just so weird for me because... shouldn't it be the CONCEPT that's triggering, not just the written word? Why would just splatting out the vowels magically make it less triggery? I never got it.

Mori: With a name like that? No way!
Sneak: What... was it for...? *is kind of scared to ask* o_o That sounds so awful!
I've attempted to draft a history of how our system's gone and how we/I drifted in and out of plurality and I have no idea if it's even coherent, not least because I think I've forgotten several people (I've definitely lost at least one name) and I can't think where to look up old system documentation. And also because I'm having to work around several names to avoid it being google-able, because we have (had?) stalkers that I have no confidence have given up.
Sneak: Oh gosh, yeah, I wouldn't want you to be in danger or anything! D: That would be awful!
As far as system documenting goes, your things may be totally different, but we've used old journals, writing, and art and that's worked pretty good! Also sometimes photos, with system members who had pretty clear different body language and stuff.
