Shaking things up with a poll! This is Purely a curiosity thing, it is not meant to find some Trueism of systemhood or whatever, just a discovery I had about our experience makes me wonder how mix-and-match-able some things are! We may do more polls like this as a way of learning more, about ourselves and about others' experiences!
Note: If you are unsure/don't understand the question, read more under the cut for our experience and how we're using that to define the parameters!
Our experience below for clarification:
Our system identifies as polyfragmented, and alters do not consistently recognize others emotionally. However, we are able to "share" memories with each other so there is an intellectual recognition. It took us a long time to realize that we can "recognize" someone without the alter fronting actually sharing any sense of familiarity or emotional attachment, due to a lack of time interacting one on one. We always sort of assumed that if we 'recognized' someone we felt a consistent emotional response to them (if somewhat seasoned based on additive experiences or sentiments brought up with the alter).
But now we've found even if multiple alters are near the front and Recognize the other person, if the alter in front doesn't recognize them then there's no emotional connection felt. So even if we recognize our mom as Mom, know her by name, can recall our history with her and know how we generally feel towards her... If the alter in front had somehow never directly met her, they hold no feelings towards her, and may even be more likely to react to her like one would an overfamiliar coworker - even while knowing who she is to us.
So now we're curious if this is something others run into, and while we doubt there's any consistency it'd be interesting to know if this is more likely to happen in larger systems or not!

I'm gonna write about my hcs for Homura as a system bc she has a Lot going on from that angle. I was going to wait until I finished a chart I had been drawing and sorted out each part's 'role' to my satisfaction, but I Really want to share it it's my favorite puella magi hc.
Ok so Akemi Homura. Firstly she has been through a LOT of trauma and bullshit so it's not even remotely a stretch to consider (esp given she has a history of frequent medical issues even before the main story).
Secondly she has some dissociative instances that happen as pretty plot-relevant things - the entire plot of Rebellion, for one. And, depending on how 'canon' you view it, Wraith Arc is another example of dissociative coding wrt memory issues/barriers, and carries a lot of plural coding on its own. Not to mention her incredibly detached approach in everything is a form of dissociation, as a response to being in an ongoing traumatic situation (being a magical girl and constantly having her friends taken from her or turning on her)
And honestly I'm just citing base examples off the top of my head and could most likely go into more in depth analysis for any of these points.
So she gives me strong system vibes. But furthermore, she'd be a rare case in media of a character with Multiple alters beyond just the 'good vs evil' trope, had this been done intentionally. And so I've picked out multiple alters that would compose her system, between the anime storylines and Wraith Arc, so I'm gonna list those out. As I said I haven't sorted out everyone's function/origin Thoroughly but I have pretty clear ideas for each.
Glasses Homura or 'Moemura' - the closest to the undissociated Homura, chronologically speaking and potentially in terms of function/personality. Might just have been the host for her daily life prior to her contract. Represented of course by wearing glasses, but her hair being braided (as seen in Rebellion) is another shorthand indication of her presence in the scene.
Akemi Homura, as we see her in the main series - most likely the second oldest alter seen by us. Formed directly to function as the main face of the system, as well as the system protector most likely. she's a sort of shield for the system by detaching all of her trauma and past timeline experiences from the present moment, acting as coldly and shut off as possible to further their collective goal (saving Madoka) and prevent emotional overwhelm. This also doubles to protect her more vulnerable alters and emotions, because as seen in flashbacks of earlier loops letting those show more often backfires than helps.
Wraith Madoka [Wraith Arc] - an introject alter modeled after Madoka. Unfortunately I haven't reread much of her part and my notes on her are elsewhere but I think she exists as a sort of... maybe soother for the system in a way, helping Madoka feel real in a reality where she is not.
Rapunzel Witch/Wraith Witch [Wraith Arc] - I'd probably classify this witch as a persecutor or other aggressive alter. She is born from the old memories and trauma, which is rejected by Homura in this story via memory manipulation (dissociation). This is done because this witch threatens Everything Homura has fought for and is initially represented in the story as Madoka's witch self, Kriemhild Gretchen, which further pushes that divide. The Rapunzel Witch is then fused with a Wraith and grows out of control, fueled by the power of Another antagonist to Madoka's world order (according to Homura's pov). The Wraith Witch then begins killing everything instantly, including Mami and Kyouko, and sets about destroying what Homura holds dear and/or has sworn to protect and keep safe.
Ai [Wraith Arc] - not entirely sure if I should count her separately from Wraith Madoka or not? Narratively she's essentially The Same Individual but everything about her is different functionally, so it might be a subystem deal or a case where Wraith!Mado split off of her. Ai was born narratively to manage Homura's memories, a representation of the 'miracle' that lets Homura retain her memories of the old reality. But she functions independently of Homura at points, as 'a part of Homura's soul that was eaten by a wraith'. She is the essence behind the creation of Wraith!Madoka as well as the individual behind its independent movements, all unbeknownst to Homura herself during this storyline.
Clara dolls [Rebellion] - these are already pretty clearly defined for us by the text, I think primarily as emotional holders and/or maybe fragments. I'm likewise unsure if I'd count Wraith Arc's Ai as part of their number, she has the same name as the unseen doll Ai but her function is somewhat different in practice. This might be chalked up to her being more consistently active than the others though, given how much "Ai (love)" drives Homura forward
Homulilly (black dress) [Rebellion] - I think I'd break her into two alters, given we have the black dress homura and then the fully-formed witch. In terms of black dress.... She's hard to gauge since I think her behavior blurs a lot with Homura's? But her motivation is different. She might also be a protector, but designed specifically for her Witch counterpart.
Homulilly (witch) [Rebellion] - This witch is most likely a trauma holder, which I think is pretty self-explanatory given what we see of her on-screen. I would probably count any portrayals of Homura during her scenes as Also her, especially the scene with Madoka's arm reaching through the window to her.
Homucifer [Rebellion] - whoo boy ok. Not sure what I'd classify her as. With her whole spiel and self-assignment of "The Devil of this world" she leans into persecutor territory in a way? But, her true motivation has nothing to do with painting herself as evil or punishing herself. Nor is her true motivation being Selfish and taking what she wants without thought. Her true focus is that Madoka becoming a God, separated from her friends and family, was Wrong, and so Homucifer exists to forcibly reunite Madoka with the life she gave up, no matter the cost. Selfishness is a factor, as is self-deprecation, but really her aim isn't anything straightforward beyond furthering the collective system's united goal of Saving Madoka, so idk what her Function is beyond filling that niche in a way the others can't.
So that's what I've got on her! Hopefully it all makes sense, if anyone has anything to add feel free!

Lastly on the topic of toys - I'm going to reblog this with the links so spread that version, but fun fact I found a couple websites with some pretty thorough toy catalogues, one dedicated to mlp and one that includes a host of other toy lines, including several notable doll lines, littlest pet shop and more.
I will say the latter has a specific selection of lines and may be lacking some you'd be looking for (I ran into this issue) but the catalogues that they DO have seem pretty comprehensive, and include quick links to ebay with relevant search words if you're looking to do some impulse shopping!
Anyways, I haven't seen anyone else talk about unofficial toy catalogues online, and figured I'd share the few I have to spread around in case anyone else is like me and likes knowing what all is out there!

I was talking to a friend the other night about the differences in eye quality per gen, and they pointed out this hasty sample picture of some of my g3s looks like they're all posing for a selfie! So I thought I'd share it since they all look so cute

Ok wait actually my last post's tags raises an interesting question for me - have people done any "acapella" vocaloid songs? Especially original ones? And if not... why not, I wonder?
Any thoughts on this?
*also I'm using "acapella" loosely here bc they're recorded voices but they're not really Just voices either
