Anon, it is possible to be plural without having DID or OSDD. DID and OSDD are disorders that cause plurality, but they are not the only causes of plurality, it can stem from many different sources, both psychological and spiritual.
If there are people in your head who have consistent existences and you regularly talk to them, you are experiencing some form of plurality, and its up to you what kind of label you put on that.
I urge you to look into endogenic plurality. @soulbonder is a good resource discussing specifically soulbonding– which is where you experience the presence of characters in your head, whether they’re OCs, or characters from media you’re familiar with. Even if that’s not exactly what you’re experiencing, that might be a good place to start looking into the experiences of others.
@sophieinwonderland also discusses endogenic plurality, usually from a psychological angle, and not a spiritual one, which may be more or less helpful to you depending on your perspective.
Please feel free to send and ask to us any time, or even DM privately if you want to talk. I know going through discovering plurality can be very overwhelming.
π –no longer using DA I forgot. And by the time I remembered? I had forgotten the names of both the comic and Vanessa so I couldn’t even google for it. So to just… randomly find it because I checked out your ask game tag? And then find out you’re gonna remaster it? You just made my day π
Anon, this message made MY day, I’m so thrilled you enjoyed Promise, and I’m thrilled that found it again!
I’m very excited to be remastering it, and revisiting the whole thing is so nice for me. It really is the creative work I’m most proud of right now, and improving it makes me happy.
I would love, one day, to make a whole visual novel, but I’m so glad you think it worked well for the ending of Promise. Like the game its based on, I just didn’t think it would be right to have just one ‘canonical’ ending.
My arm has been getting better, so I may even return to drawing comics some day…
Thank you again, this message means so much. <3
