Dang, I need myself a pannel like that. I can never tell if it's executive dysfunction keeping me from doing the thing, or distractions. Because I just think, "I should go to bed," and the next minute, I'm wawa'ing my way through Five Pebble's superstructure.

This sounds kinda close to plurality honestly. Is that something you've considered?

Yeah I understand why people think that lol- I think at least 4 different people asked me about it with the finale comic. I should say something publicly to address this so here:
No, I don't think I'm plural. I do not experience any sort of dissociation, and feel firmly in control of my mind and body at all times.
On Vi: Doing the account takeover during the finale took a lot of brainpower and I did not feel at any point that she was talking, rather, it felt like a creative exercise in which I tried to construct what she would say to other people.
On Arlo: This is perhaps more interesting because she's something I did not deliberately construct, and demonstrated some agency within both my dream and the trance state. If she had agreed to front for me and that actually happened, I'd probably say that I'm plural. That didn't happen though, and I would say she's at best an imaginary friend, not really a headmate. I have not really interacted with her at all besides to imagine her in further comic scenarios, and if I try to imagine talking to her right now, it just feels like I'm the one coming up with both sides of a conversation.
Ultimately I think my brain works however I say it works, and if I believe I'm a singlet, then I am. If I really wanted to I could probably act as if I was a system, and it might become true, but that doesn't seem like something worthwhile to do.

That is fair! I just thought this gave a different vibe compared to the whole thing with Vi! so, I wanted to possibly ask! Appreciate the response reguardless! hope to not offend!

from my perspective I see it a lot more like compartmentalizing here! the dream state's where your overactive imagination can run off without you, to the point that buried concerns can gain meaningful-feeling voices like this. (see, his "imaginary friend" remark)

this sorta stuff can happen if you're plural, but someone of any mind can have these things to try and grasp at before they're forgotten about

Lovely little narrative you've got here, and it's a great introduction to the new character. I can't wait to see what's to come!

Now I really want try something like this. 🫪 You got me thinking about meditation in general. And also how I've occasionally been able to "sleep on it". Going to sleep thinking about something and waking up with a idea is rare for me but it can happen.
