@myconidiosyncracy incredibly valid and idk how to offer comfort bc i can't deal with it when i feel that way either

@BestGirlGrace ok sorry you gotta narrow it down more i've read at least a couple dozen tumblr posts with this premise

@BestGirlGrace i love that the base assumption is "they're aware of the fursona and they think it's real" and not, like, "this is first contact" or anything

@BestGirlGrace ....i just realised i've described humans as basically just space cockroaches and they probably wouldn't find that the Most Flattering comparison

@myconidiosyncracy i do too! i'm just saying. it takes guts to, like, interact with people on the internet. guts i don't always have. You Is Brave, fren

@BestGirlGrace well, obviously the humans are both incredibly hard to kill And they fit in small spaces better so they can do the maintenance stuff more efficiently (and using less energy, too)

@myconidiosyncracy thou'rt a far braver man than i, tristan

i mean, i'm no man, but

@BestGirlGrace fursona? actually, the singular is fursonum

@myconidiosyncracy no no it's fave, boost, Or reply. can you imagine how forward it would be. to do More Than One. i couldn't manage such a feat

@myconidiosyncracy it's a common problem, and i think as long as you're coming from a place of actively Trying to be respectful and such it's not really a huge deal (on the individual end)—like, we all know the resources are hard to find. if you're serious about wanting to learn nobody's going to fault you for not Already Knowing it?

that said, there needs to be more better resources about all of this

@myconidiosyncracy i have enough plural friends to have either absorbed or been directly given most of the information about terms & such that much at least i can Definitely help with

@myconidiosyncracy i can't answer all of this but the way it's been explained in my general direction is plurality is "multiple people sharing the same body/headspace" which i would interpret as more "treat them as separate people" if possible?

also the word i think you're looking for is 'system'. as in, a system is the plural group of [usually the body] + all the [headmates/system members/people] in it

hehe, legs

@dopple@cryptid.industries frick. frickin h*ck. i love?? you?

@dopple@cryptid.industries oh, no. compliments. my weakness

@dopple@cryptid.industries !!! a gift!!

@dopple@cryptid.industries it didn't appear to go anywhere that i could see. but the fact that 'scratch my octopus song' was a recommended search suggests there's Something, Somewhere
