#introduction time!

Hello! I'm a pembroke welsh corgi dog-kin that's part of a fissiogenic system with @owashii. We live with our fiancé in Pennsylvania, and we're getting married in June!

It's kind of funny, I started off as an account on this instance for Owa to pretend to argue with himself, but a friend pointed out that this indicated we might be plural.

We couldn't really find an existing term for our system-type, which is that we split off into twins from an initial identity. So we borrowed the term for nuclear fission, and it describes us very well!

We tend to co-front and you'll almost certainly get interactions from both of us. We like to post about video games, our relationship, Joycon tinkering, and paws.

And now dog noises! Arf arf arf.

Refsheet get! This is a finalized version of one we already posted. Owashii and I are identical twins, and the original version of this had both tags on the same collar.

However, we only share our dirtspace vessel out of necessity, so while there's only one corgi, it's because we felt having two corgis was excessive since we look the same.

Thanks to @trashguts for being such a delight to work with!

We've noticed that most systems tend to have one critter fronting, whereas we're usually co-fronting and perceiving reality at the same time.

While we are capable of functioning independently, we function better as a team handling different parts of our experience with reality.

Owa tends to do better with physical instincts and how our body interacts with the world around us, and I tend to be better with emotional instincts and how we react to it.

For example, you'll notice that Owa tends to be the one playing games, and I'm the one telling him to keep calm if he's getting frustrated. I'll switch in sometimes when he needs a break, but generally I like to let him have physical control.

It is extremely rare that one of us will be completely in back and not perceiving anything while the other is completely in control of our body.

There are no secrets between us and if one is fronting and sees something, the other will as well.

Generally, if you want one of us to see something before the other, it's best to send a direct message, but the other /will/ see it.

Otherwise it basically just boils down to whichever of us has their tab open first.

We hope this helps explain how we work a bit better so you can know what to expect from us!

Geologists recently found a new type of rock that can sneeze. They're calling it "Gesuntite."

Assassin's Creed: Odyssey

In which we were trying to get a quest from a civilian, a wild boar attacked, we were fending it off with arrows, and the civilian ran in front of us, got an arrow to the face, and is no longer offering the quest due to a sudden case of dead.

Wait it's past 8:30? Where did the night go?

Oh right we passed out for like an hour. Oops.

It just dawned on us that we have a spinny chair!

And we made two full rotations before being like "okay that's enough of that"

Oh no we're thinking about being bullied by extremely musky footpaws again

How surprising?

Mmmm

AaaAAa

woo

Holy shit we're getting married in less than a month AaaAAaa

Various dog noises followed by more dog noises followed by dial-up sounds.

Thinking about it, our only real issue with Assassin's Creed: Odyssey is a lack of equipment permanence.

Our playstyle means we level up fairly quickly, which means that our equipment becomes underleveled. \

On the one paw, you can find a /lot/ of equipment around that matches your level and you can very easily stay on track.

On the other paw, if you find all the pieces in a set and really like the set bonus, you will have to choose between inadequate stats, abandoning the set bonus, or very quickly running out of resources as you upgrade.

Honestly though, fairly minor. Still a solid game!
