Headmates out of dormancy!

(mentions of poor mental health, suicidal ideation)

years ago, we didnt know plurality or fictionkinity or anything like that existed, and the original (not a headmate anymore) was going through ALOT. back then, DSMP was really popular and still ongoing, so we strongly hyperfixated on it for a long time (unsure how long) which helped us not wanna die as much, and basically saved the body by stalling time until we formed one of our protectors, which made it almost impossible to actually die. of course, this split DSMP headmates, but we didnt know they existed and we dont have black-outs or anything dramatic like that. we're very covert. so, as time passed and we lost interest in DSMP, those headmates (which were more like parts, or even 'ego states', than full fledged headmates) slipped into dormancy with no knowledge they even existed. even as we discovered fictionkinity, and later systemhood, we didnt know they ever existed. it made logical sense that they did, but there were no signs of them or anything.

skip to now, with Max as host for a second time. we've been wanting to get into DSMP again, to find any possible dormant headmates form it, and Max succeeded in that! we've gotten two parts out of dormancy, Technoblade and Philza, and we're sure theres more. Philza is still coming out of dormancy, but Techno has been doing so for a day or so, so he can communicate and has exomemories and phantom limbs and allat. he's not fronting fully, he's at most vaguely co-con, so the whiplash of his sudden continuation in existence or consciousness hasnt hit him yet. but he's been interacting with his source and trying to figure out his identity and what he looks like :) we hope Philza, and any others we find, will follow this path soon.

This is the first 100% confirmed case of dormancy that we know of in our system, so its a pretty big deal :p

-Max + techno and phil and others influencing

living is so fucking cool - Techno
