- Fascists, gatekeepers, medicalists, bigots, and ableists: DNI and get fucked

- Virtual hugs are fine generally, though our individual preferences vary. Ask permission first!

- Don't boost our mh (-) or rel (-) posts. We're usually not thinking about post privacy when we're in those states but please consider them non-boostable.

- Flirting is fine with us if you're queer. We're polyam and Adelia has one partner. Flirting *could* lead to something but we're taking it reaaaal slow because fuck we've been through some shit okay?

- Ask permission before lewding at us. Some of us are ace. Some are gray ace. One or more of us is none of those things apparently? It's complicated. Just ask.

- We assume favouriting of negative posts without a clarifying reply to be acknowledgment and/or supportive, so don't be afraid to do so :)

Okay since we're on a new account we're gonna explain this here so we can pin it.

On November 1, 2019, Adelia woke up instead of me (Alana) and I was essentially gone for over a year while Adelia and the others did their best to keep things together. Adelia decided that she would continue to use purple as her preferred colour for heart emojis like I had been doing.

In the meantime, Dani split off from Mena and eventually settled on using blue as her heart emoji colour. She also eventually became as frequent a fronter as Adelia and even became de facto host when Adelia became too broken to front anymore.

A little over a year after I disappeared, we finally fixed some issues, and then Adelia and Dani started feeling like they were blending most of the time, so they started using 💜 💙 as their heart emoji choice. Then Lane, Mena, and Kade started swirling in too, and with that my sense of self came back, and I realised that I'm not a single headmate and I never was. I'm the confluence of all of us, the Delaneys, with Adelia and Dani as the "hearts", and that's why I/we use 💜 💙 to represent myself/ourself now.

I know what I want and it's gay as heck

We, as Alana, when we're feeling more cohesive, will use "I". Otherwise we'll use "we". Sometimes individuals will talk and use "I" and they may or may not sign their posts.

Basically what we're saying here is: Here there be pronoun fuckery. You've been warned.

perennial post for us

Dang it hasn't even been a week and my nail polish has a some huge chips. That's okay though. They were light blue with pink accent nails but the blue had this minty tinge to it and the pink had a brownish tinge and it just looks weird in a lot of lighting.

Hi it's four in the morning and I'm still up because I'm doing sappy lesbian things

Hi! It's late but I'll be on Jitsi for a little bit :) -Del

Something triggered the fuck out of my cptsd for the past couple of days and we may have discovered a new persecutor in here :/

Just saw things about RSD and imposter syndrome both being complex trauma. It really is trauma all the way down 😬

why does my bread have random spots where it tastes like laundry detergent?

aaaaa she's so pretty

(yuuup it's totally a newer mix. he fucked up the transition from the bagpipes to the caveman sections and now it's anticlimactic :/)

(never mind that some of it is probably that Mike Oldfield *will not* leave the mix alone and thus there's like a million versions of it because he George Lucased the fuck out of it)

Also I'm listening to it on new headphones and holy shit we've been listening to it on and off since the 80s and it I'm hearing new details in the mix we've never noticed.

Just had the "we're old as fuck" realisation that Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield was released 48 years ago. It doesn't sound like something that's nearly 50 years old.

It had only been out for 9 years when we were born.
