So here's the thing: I love and am so grateful for this platform - for all of you who follow me, read my stories, and share a collective love for all things dipplinshipping, mintteashipping, and pokemon fandom alike. A primary focus of my account, in fact, is alllllll about fortifying a happy little escape zone where we can all be happy and have fun together.
This post is a rare "not about that" post. I'm gonna keep my personal feelings on this pretty brief, but here's the thing: I've been fucking livid. For awhile. I'm angry and disappointed with world leaders and people in power. And as an American, I'm feeling a lot around our government: its egregiously wealthy stakeholders - who wildly abuse their influence for self-gain - and the corruption that is a hate-motivated, white supremacist, capitalistic agenda. If you live in the US, or even anywhere else, I can promise you this: Your existence and presence is always valid, and is not defined by an executive order. If you follow me or watch my posts from time-to-time, I hope that you can continue to find a positive escape with what I promote here. And I hope you know how much you are loved and valued.

Hey! I think Synthesizer is really cool character. As someone who is plural and has alters its really cool to see. But I just wanted to tell you you should probably avoid the term “split personalities” in future writing. Plural or system is more accurate and less stigmatized!
Systems can be just two people like your guys so no worries about not having “enough” alters/headmates/members/etc to be one. If you ever have any questions or want specific resources our DMs are open :-)
Ooh, I'll make sure to keep that in mind for the future, thank you! (Also, edited the previous post! Feel free to DM me if it's still not worded correctly. ^^)
