➥ basically a productive coping mechanism effectively assembled by muses for the sake of saving their writer (& by extension themselves).

NOT A SYSTEM OR KINTYPE LIST

• just characters i can rp that started working to help me not die
• i honestly don't give a shit about "doubles"
  • i'll put less present muses in a drawer to compromise with people who are bothered by doubles, but don't be a dick about it.

➥ in specific, H.B.'s fighting to cope with:

• 10+ years of previously untreated and outwardly ignored depression and the extensive effects thereof
  • borderline(?) attention-deficit disorder ( A.D.D. )
  • executive dysfunction
  • disordered eating
  • mild-moderate alexithymia
• some gender dysphoria

➥ muses / guests: the fucking endless number of characters the house plays host to.

• the easiest way to sum them up is to liken them to Sims, or Tomadachi Island residents; H.B. is the player, and the characters exist and do their own things in the space he's created.
• guests (or at least those with a stronger presence) usually continue to operate in the background even when H.B. isn't directly watching/interacting with them.

both muses & facets can be invoked by name, as most will come when called. mileage may vary depending on who you try to summon. either way, you're invited to try.
