@DerpNami Well! There's some positive aspects to being a system, I mean, it allowed us to survive, but we don't "like" it. It complicates our experiences a lot, and makes our life pretty hard. But I mean, we love our headmates.
Our switching is complicated. Sometimes, we switch so subtly that not even ourself notices, and the person who switched in only realises "oh wait, im ___ not ___" later on. Sometimes it's painful, we have to sit in one spot for hours whilst our head pounds and we get bad headaches until we switch out. We've had to go home from school because of these headaches sometimes. A lot of the time it looks like we're really spaced out and dissociated, staring into nothing for a while. That kind of switch usually happens if we forcefully positively trigger someone out (which is always consensual).
@MaxTheTransGuy yeah! ours came that way, with little pink spikes. theyve gotten pinker over time though, i think it changes seasonally although i dont remember
