Being plural is weird.

There's a bunch of really awesome critters out there on fedi that we like encountering on occasion, but who post so often it's hard for us to keep up.

Our home TL is a more cozy place. We've put a lot of effort into curating it, and we actually try to keep up with every post that comes across it. If following you would flood our home TL with your posts, we probably won't.

That's not to say posting that often is a bad thing. If you enjoy that amount of posting, then by all means, go nuts!

-The Rez System

Hello there!

We are Rez. We are a plural system with 6-7 known components, depending on how you count it.

---

Sam: Here since birth. Usually human. Likes technology and anime. Technically started as the host, but has settled into a mostly-equal role. He/him, 💙, Feb 1.

Logan: First non-host headmate. Anthro fox by default, but tends to change form whenever inspiration strikes. Used to be Sam's fursona. Likes bad puns and dad jokes. If we're shitposting, it's almost certainly Logan. They/them, 🧡​, Jan 20.

Max: Sam's little counterpart. Age varies, typically around 10-13. Incapable of thinking about adult stuff, including lewdness. If he's around, Sam probably isn't. He/him, 💙​, Feb 22.

Q: Used to be our collective subconscious. 1-foot-tall ruby dragon. Powered by Clarke's Law. Strongest body dysmorphia out of all of us. Currently teaching the rest of us self-care. It/its, ❤️, Apr 22.

Shawn: Isekai protagonist. Anthro canine, details unknown. Died protecting his little brother. Hasn't had much time to figure himself out, due to our tendency to get stuck together. He/him, 💜, Nov 24.

X: Literal alien. Currently studying life on Earth. May end up leaving once research is complete. Always speaks in third-person. No pronouns, no heart emoji, July 4.

(There's also one headmate who prefers to stay away from social media.)

Misc. system information below:

Body is masc-leaning non-binary. They/them pronouns very strongly preferred, but he/him will do in a pinch.

If you met us afk and asked if we were plural, we wouldn't deny it. But it's not something we bring up a lot, simply because it's a hassle to repeatedly explain to the uninitiated.

Asking for our "real name" will likely get you blocked. It's Rez.

Not always the best at staying separated from each other. Trying to practice, but progress is slow-going. Usually most distinct while trying to fall asleep.

Unable to compartmentalize information as of yet. With the exception of Max's child-safe filter, something you say to one of us will probably be heard by all of us.

Became aware of plural status 1/20/2020, but we suspect we've been plural for much longer than that.

Open to answering any/all questions about plurality. Please keep an open mind when asking, and be aware that we don't speak for all plural systems.

Alright, I think that about does it. See you around!

We really like the Twin Adders, and we can't wait until we start building a reputation with the Maelstrom, but we're kinda low-key dreading the rep grind for the Immortal Flames...

Guess we're holding ourselves to a pretty strict Double Standard, huh?

We've heard about a TTRPG called Pugmire. It's basically DnD, but everyone's an anthro dog, so it's obviously right up our alley. But we never really looked into it.

Just now learned that their moral code system uses "Be a Good Dog" as Rule 0.

And we found an official free download of the core rulebook. (Click here, then click the picture of the phone. Gonna need a free account, throwaway email recommended.)

We kinda have to try it out now, don't we?

Consider... tails.
No, more of them.
Keep going.
Don't stop.

Being polyamorous is more or less like being a Harem Anime Protagonist, with two key differences:

• You don't (necessarily) have to be an idiot
• You don't have to choose just one love interest at the end

Our local community college: Hey, make sure you fill out this vaccination form before [date]! It's mandatory for all current students!

Us: We dropped out in January. Why the fuck are we still getting these emails?

Hey, @clarjon1! Got an original #LifeHack for ya!

You can tell people are getting fed up with capitalism because someone just posted this in the meme channel on a local discord and nobody called them out. (alt-text provided)

ah yes, right before the final boss of a long-ass dungeon is the perfect fucking time for the power to go out.

There are two types of people in the world: Those that make dad jokes, and those that just facepalm in response.

(Lucky for us, we have at least one of each.)
