#like i dont have proof but like... i have suspicions y'know

[funnier-as-a-system]

do you take asks asking for like. advice?? and if so um. how do you know? just in general but also how do you know that its not all some like. elaborate act that youre putting on to feel special? aside from just "if you feel bad about the possibility of faking you arent faking" because for all you know my guilt is faked too. if you dont accept requests for advice im sorry to have exposed you to this i just genuinely dont know who to ask

We do indeed take asks for advice! We're just really bad at answering them in timely manner, eheh.

I must admit I'm a little confused, because you seem to switch between the possibility of me being wrong about plurality and me being wrong about your plurality, but I shall answer both! (No offense taken to either question, if that was a concern.)

When we first discovered our system, we had a lot of the same fears; probably our biggest one was that we were just making up conversations in our head. It wasn't so much that we feared we were faking as we were worried about being wrong, so we get where you're coming from with usual "you're not faking" sentiments not helping. So what did we do?

We made what we call a proof book!

It doesn't have to be an actual book. A proof book is simply a record, mental, physical, or digital, of signs and symptoms that support your hypothesis of being a system (or, tbh, anything else you're questioning). While all the internal communication/hearing voices signs were dismissible as our imagination, we could not so easily dismiss evidence* such as not feeling in control of our body (depersonalization), uncontrollable accents, or the people around us noticing changes in our personality. Whenever we started doubting ourselves, we'd ask if the doubts had any good arguments, and, if so, we'd compare the arguments to what was written in our proof book. After all, people don't really talk about it, but sometimes the doubts have a point! It's not so easy to dismiss doubts that have a point – but at the same time, it's hard for doubts to adapt their argument against one piece of evidence to a book of evidence.

*now that we think about it, the name "evidence book" might have been better, but that doesn't roll off the tongue as easily.

We still have doubts, occasionally. But between the proof book growing as we do and our lived experience where living as a system has been better for us than living as a singlet with system suspicions, it's a lot easier to combat those fears.

If you're questioning being a system but have some doubts, you can also make a proof book! And in the end, if you find out it's all better evidence for something else that's not plurality, then hey! Look at you, already ready with a proof book to smash any doubts you have about that thing fitting you.

As for the people who come to us in asks, you're right that we can't tell for certain. But tbh, us knowing for certain the details of other people's lives isn't a concern. We're a mentally ill adult with worries like "what jobs are available in our area" and "what if I'm secretly a horrible person"; we don't really like to spend too much time worrying about doubting other people. Believing people at their word about something that doesn't really affect our life too much... it kind of just helps with the whole "leading a happy and healthy life" goal we have, y'know? Rather than scour asks looking for any sign of bad intentions, getting ourselves worked up, and possibly setting off a chain reaction of discourse and offense if we see faking where there isn't any, we just answer an ask and go on with our day. If someone who sends in an ask is faking, that's not our problem. If someone who sends in an ask ends up being wrong about their plurality, that's also not our problem. Our problem is the sheer amount of unanswered asks in our inbox. Of course, we'll do our best to give advice if they come to us looking for it [about their situations], but we're not in the habit of fact checking the lives of our askers. Just brings us down and makes us more fearful and untrusting of other people.

All that really matters is if we feel we did alright when answering their ask, which we really can't do if we just accuse them as faking. You see, even if one of our askers is faking, one of our followers may have a similar question or real experience close to what they made up, and those people may want to hear our response. In those cases, it's better to show compassion and interest for the sake of your audience, wouldn't you agree? By assuming honesty even when what's being said is strange, we create a better environment on this blog for not just ourselves, and not just our askers, but also the rest of our followers. And that's really all we want! We don't like suspecting people and people don't like being suspected – by trusting people on their problems and experiences, even if they sound strange or "faked", we're being kind. (Or at least, we're being open-minded, which is something we strive to achieve.) And kindness is often passed on, even if not by the person receiving it; if we take people by their word, no matter how strange, we inspire others to do the same, which amounts to a more accepting community. Which, personally, I think is much better than a community that accuses others of faking on a whim.

—

This has been rather long, so let's sum it up.

We combatted our fears by creating a record of evidence to support the theory that we're a system.

Never thought I'd say this line that's beginning to sound cliché on the internet, but we have bigger things to worry about than if any random ask in our inbox is from a faker.

Moreover, trying to figure out if people in our inbox are faking would just take a toll on our mental health. So we don't.

We want to be kind, inspire kindness, and make people happy, and an easy way to do that is to make this blog an accepting place where fakeclaiming is off the table.

If someone "tricks us", oh well, oh darn, fiddlesticks, you got me. You are now on par with our pre-teen sibling sneaking out to go steal mangos. Congratulations.

Well, this was a rather long response, but we hope we've been thorough in answering your query, anon!

#thanks for the ask!

Characters; Childe,Zhongli,Xiao

Warning; slightly nsfw (xiao part tho ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)),mention of blood,dragon!zhongli,werewolf!childe,demon!xiao, mention of childe real name. shit writing but hey,i tried to complet this in 2 hours

A/N; i swear my hand just did this,pls just- IM SUPPOSED TO DO MY HW NOT SIMP OVER LIYUE MANS!!!! i dont regret this tho

Childe

The loud noises of the liyue streets and the laugher of children,fitted perfectly the atmospher of halloween.

The streets were even decorated,-courtsy of the tianqian ningguan-. Everything was simply peaceful,with your dear ajax. It was a night to remember.

"Hey! Let's check this one!" The lively voice of your beloved snapped you out of your daydream. Ajax was beside you in his werewolf costume,and he did a great job at creating it. Even the ears felt real.

You chuckled at his enthusiasm,nodding your head at him. By the corner of your eyes,you though you saw his tail wagging but decided you were simply tired. It was past midnight,yet ever so lively.

After checking out every stand,you were beyond exhausted. The night was still young,but you prefered to spend it with your lover inside our warm house. Sharing the food both of you bought.

Arriving at home,you hurridly toke off your costume,it was pretty but uncomfortable to wear.

You reached the living room were your boyfriend was. His figure was lying all across the couch. 'He must've been tired' you thought.

You softly smiled,he hasn't taken off his costume yet. You walked slowly to him,careful as to not wake him up,reaching out a hand to his wolf ears to take them out,you tugged and pulled yet they wouldn't come undone.

You worried it might have been stuck. You tried again,but a hand stopped you.

"That really hurt y'know? They aren't fake" His word confused you. Until realization struck you. You sat there bewildred,completly taken aback.

You have not expected that to happen.

"Not convinced are you? Shall I show you if more proof?"

Who knew Werewolf were so,chaoticly hot?

Zhongli

You were aware of Zhongli real identity. It wasn't hard to guess,you had a suspiscion about the identity of the funural consultant. His deep knowledge of an old god and how he described everything as if he was present only favored your suspicion.

But you didn't love him any less,he was still the man you loved and adore,god or not.

As for halloween,you simply wanted him to experience the life of a mortal in occasion as such. He agreed of course.

The setting was perfect. The orange hues of the lanterns and the aroma of delicious food. Such a moment.

Zhongli wasn't dress up,he prefered not to. But you managed to get him to change clothes.

You were dressed as you liked,it was comfortable and quiet good. It was a win-win for you.

Passing by some vendors,one of them was gossiping about travellers catching sight of a mysterious figure around this week.

They talked about the horns and grand tail,looking almost like a dragon. You were interested in it,you never saw anything as such.

The god beside you noticed your focused self on the gossiping peasants. He smiled,perhaps he shall satisfie your desire?

"My dear,shall we rest for the night?"

His deep voice pulled you out of the eavesdropping. Nodding at him,you began walking toward your home.

'he must have been exhausted feom this outing'

After all,he was not used to this much interaction with the people.

The path to your house was silent,the faint sounds of the bustling streets was pleasant. Your shared house was insight,and you pulled your dearest to walk faster.

He only laughed quietly at you eagerness.

"Slow down,the house isn't going to run away."

You simply continued to drag him with you. Zhongli was amused,it was as if you were eager to know about him. Even if you didn't know that yet.

The door opened and closed in an instant. The taller male pinning you to the entrance.

"I saw your interest in the tales the vendors were talking about. Are you curious?"

You nodded at him,not getting what he was pointing at.

He smirked. Two horns and a tail grew out,fitting perfectly the description the merchant's.

"Shall I show you what a dragon can do?"

Xiao

The yaksha boy didn't like any social activity,as such,most of the time you spent your times inside,halloween was not an exception.

You didn't mind,you too were not a fan of large crowds. And so,you both spent halloween together in the wangshu in.

The light of the stars lighten up the balconey you were at,the adeptus savoring his favored food,almond tofu,of which you had cooked. He looked nervous early,you didnt ask him,but you kept an eye out. If anything troubled him,you'd be there.

The moonlight shined down upon you both,it was a full moon.

Xiao grew nervous,he was sure he wouldn't hurt you. But he still feared the worst. You called out hs name,yet he didnt respond. He looked even more nervous than before.

You grew worried,was he sick,-you doubted but you still didnt cross that out-,or did his karmic was too strong for him?

You kept calling out his name,bu to no avail. He was quiet and turned his back on you. You saw him shake,thinking he was crying you rushed over to him.

Forcibly turning him over to look at you. Your eyes winded.

His fangs grew to be more present,his hair growed longer and he had two horns on his forehead. He looked normal,just a minor changes.

At your lack of response,he began to fear the worst. He was hiddious in your eyes,he knew it. The thirst in him didn't help his thoughts.

You noticed yor mistake and hurriedly comforted him,whispering comfort in his ears. You assured him,you new he'd never hurt you.

Xiao slowly calmed down thanks to you. But he was still hesitant to ask. You reassured him your view of him would never change.

The wind swayed your hair,showing your exposed neck to him. The skin looked smooth and so,appealing. He couldn't restrain himself any longer;

He muttered a 'sorry' and lunged at your neck. His teeth sunk into your flesh,biting down until blood appeared,he drank to his fill.

The sounds of your breaths and pants,only encouraged him. Erotic sounds left your mouth,you had no control,and his scent just made you dizzy.

For him,your blood was intoxicating,he was drunk on your taste and smell.

He wanted more.

i love myself for making this.
