"If I'm not me, then who am I"

Hey all! Sorry for our relative silence, we just don't have much to post-write now that we don't already just shake out in our friendcircles and we don't reaaaally feel like writing fiction or trawling through the archives. Y'all are great at blagging and fiction though keep the writing a-coming

That said! Something we think about sometimes is how we as a collective kind of kicked off properly with me splintering off - the kind of fundamental mismatch in identity that you stumble upon without realizing. "If I'm Alice, I'm not Gull, but I have to be Gull so what does that make me" felt like a bizarre question to ask myself when - as far as I knew - I was a single indivdual, but it was just something really important to pull at and figure out

And it's something a decent chunk of the rest of us have asked ourselves when starting to congeal, too, and every time it feels so weird internally? It's just still a strange thing to look at yourself internally, say "I am not who I was, but I'm nobody else I know I am", and go from there

But it is something important! Can't just let the brain brain itself into a hellcorner can you
