Hello everyone. On behalf of the Dominion-Lifesteal alliance, side SBK (closest to Dominion), we have a voting proposition. Our goals are humble: push as hard as possible for the most even balance of Lifestealers, SBKers, and adjacent as possible, along with a healthy focus on women and nonbinary folks specifically if possible.

(Also be nice to other people IS2G. We made this for fun, not to be mean.)

Here is the main annotated chart. Pink is alliances (mainly Dominion/SBK-Lifesteal), red is SBK specifically. Brief explanations of Round 1 under the cut; if anyone is wondering about our full plan they are free to ask for specific elaboration but we may not share that over social media yet. A link to the bracket blog may be found right here.

Extreme TLDR: current planned SBK-Lifesteal semifinalists are Vintage, Ruby or Musithical, Zam or Trog or Marm, Drift or Hannah, and Viking or Avid. We're also pushing Reddoons, Mapicc, and Apo as far as we can get them, along with uh. Whoever y'all would like out of the Pili-Pangi-Ashswag-Mog situation in that one part of the bracket. Finally, we'd like to offer Content SMP fans the opportunity to see Luxintrus v. Doctor4t if at all possible.

Ideal finals would be Zam v. Vintage but we play that one by ear.

If you send me asks showing you voted in accordance to this plan and give me a character/ship/whatever, I'll write you a short fic about it

As awareness of plurality continues to spread online, that also means more and more people will realize they are plural. And unfortunately, there will be a response from certain gatekeepy exclusionist types, who will push back against these newfound systems and insist on invalidating them. They’ll insist they’re just hopping on a trend, or just fooling themselves, or whatever other justification they can make up to maintain the idea that being plural is extremely rare and being plural means suffering for it.

Don’t fall for it. Being plural presents challenges and difficulties without question, but being plural also can bring joys and clarity that weren’t possible otherwise. Being plural can be hard, and it can be beautiful.

No two systems present and function exactly the same ways. No two systems are plural for the exact same reasons. So we can’t expect there to be an absolute common trait present in every system. So any attempt to weed out the “fakers” is pointless and malicious.

If someone believes themself to be plural, they have good reason to. No further “proof” needed. If someone comes to us believing themself to be plural, we will help them along without critique or question. And above all we will be happy for them. Even if someday they realize they aren’t plural, that process of being allowed to question and experiment is so important, and they should be allowed to do so regardless of where they end up.

Plurality is a spectrum that encompasses a vast swathe of experiences and outlooks. It can be difficult to reckon with, which is why community is so vital. And as that community online grows and becomes more and more visible, we should all do our part, systems and singlets, to make sure these newfound systems feel safe, seen, and welcome.

sometimes i think maybe my rabid obsession with v avid is fading and then i think about how he is in canon and i realize im just tired of fanon. canon v avid continues to be crack cocaine to the percy brain ecosystem.

he has ptsd hes suicidal hes experiencing worlds worst manic episode he once cut out him starting an argument with legs to make it look like legs was the one who started it hes my beautiful princess with a disorder

My boyfriend, again blending together fanfiction tropes: So what if when you finally find your soulmate, that’s when you discover if you’re alpha or omega, right?

Me, hands shaking as I frantically search for pen & paper: KEEP TALKING

Me: Seems hellish

Boyfriend: So does being an ant person

Me: Again, baby, they’re not ants

Boyfriend: YES THEY ARE. They communicate via pheromones— LIKE ANTS.

Me: So back to the soulmate thing….

Boyfriend: You could trick them into following orders and thinking they’re dead by spraying them with a spritz bottle. I think they need a queen.

Me: So back to the soulmate thing…. Seems hellish!

Boyfriend: Not really. If being around the other person is what triggers the changes, if you want to go back to normal… all you need to do is leave.

Me, writing: (You found your soulmate. It’s changing you in scary ways. All you need to do is leave… how difficult would it be to leave? What pressures exist to stay?)

Boyfriend: So these ant-people—

Me: OMEGAVERSE IS NOT ANTS!!!!!!

you know i don’t think we often talk about how difficult it actually is to suddenly realize that a belief you thought was good and moral and correct was actually really fucking toxic. how you have to look at something and go ‘oh shit, oh i fucked up. oh this is going to take probably years at minimum to deprogram from my brain because of all the little ways this shit pervaded the rest of my beliefs’

so. to all the people picking up all the pieces of a recently shattered world-view and trying to figure out what is safe to keep and what has to be thrown away and started over

to all the people having to relearn how to even listen to other people

to all the people putting in the work to do better while struggling with the guilt that comes from finding out you were the asshole

i’m proud of y’all.

it’s hard to admit being wrong and even harder to change in the aftermath. just keep doing the best you can and just know that the effort is appreciated. everyone can change. everyone can do better. keep fighting.

I scrolled past this without second thought. Paused. Thought, wait, I've never seen a crane on the road. Scrolled back up. No answers. Typed this response, then noticed the book's author. What a whirlwind

every time I'm too scared to pull the trigger on a bluesky post, I know I can post it here. you all get me.
