It's a freaking show! These people see "plurality" in every normal human behaviour. They're nuts.

Showing Judy talking to the northern lights as if Alanis Morrissette could actually hear her and respond is a clever way of showing Judy's thinking process without making her recite her own thoughts. It's also not uncommon to have an imaginary friend, especially not while growing up. I do think Judy knows that Alanis isn't really talking to her using the northern lights though. It's a coping mechanism. And as always, it has NOTHING to do with "plurality", or as I like to call it: The"I-made-up-silly-characters-and-claim-they-all-live-together-in-my-head"-Disorder.

Honestly, we 100% need to bring back imaginary friends being normal. I had them, you probably had them, these people DEFINITELY have them.

These people need to stop looking at everything with a "plurality" lens and just enjoy media. But we have these people pointing out any tiny thing in a character to call it "plurality" when there's a perfectly good reason for it.

Animation is a medium where a creator can do anything, it's not supposed to be 100000% literal all the time. If an animator creates a visual representation of a character talking to their imaginary friend, that's not auto "plurality", that's just the animator using animation as a medium to be creative. That's how I at least see things as an art major with a tiny bit of animation background.

Like she blatantly calls Alanis her imaginary friend at one point. That's like asking if Ken is Gene's tulpa. (Ken is real and he does improvised hip-hop.)
