PSA to those who see Split!!
I understand wanting to see Split, it’s a movie about a disorder that’s very rarely talked about. In these days the unknown and unspoken is the most popular thing in society. Just know that we are not dangerous! We are more likely to hurt ourselves and be hurt by others before we ever hurt anyone else. We are a family built because someone thought it was a good idea to hurt and abuse a child. Our closely knit family was created to protect me from the outside pain. We worked so hard to have the level of communication that we have now. I use to come back to bruises and blood all of my body because someone would get into a fight without me realizing.
With this film we are afraid that the hate and stigma that it will create will make the blockade that prevented me from interacting with anyone in my system. I don’t want to go back to the times when I laid in bed and racked every ounce of thought I had trying to remember what had happened literally 5 minutes before that. Losing communication use to happen when my depression, anxiety, and stress were all as high as it could be and with this film it’ll definitely make that barrier go back up.
We don’t hate you for being curious and wanting to see a film but please take into consideration that this is a Hollywood film and Hollywood doesn’t always make movies based off of reality. If anyone has questions about Dissociative Identity Disorder read a DSM-V or message us. We’d be more than happy to answer any questions that people have to help clear up the air with D.I.D.
Please remember that we don’t want to hurt anyone, we just want to exist in society without being categorized as the “Crazy person that’s like the movie Split” because we are far from that!
Much love guys!! <3 C.A.O. System
Systems against Split!
Hey guys; I’ve come up with an idea and I hope you’ll all like it! I could really use your help! :D
Jess struggles to be a focal point in her videos (which is what puts her off filming a lot) but I thought, with this Split film coming out, what an awesome time for systems to gather and valiantly fight against it together!
So, my plan is this:
If you’re happy to be filmed: - Film no more than 30-60 seconds of you and why this film is a bad idea/how it will negatively stereotype DID - Introduce yourself “my name is… and I have been diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder” before you start :) (you can use pseudonyms if you prefer!) - Taglines work great if you can think of any (i.e. “We are a real disorder, not a Hollywood myth”)
*Please ensure that you have an official diagnosis (this is so we can solemnly swear that everybody involved has it if we ever have to justify it’s not an act etc (you’d be surprised that we can get this a lot!)) *Please ensure there’s just one person on screen :D if your friend/partner wants to get involved, ask them to shoot themselves separately (it will look more powerful with more people speaking in separate takes!) *Partners and friends are welcome too! “My name is… and my mother/friend/partner has DID” *If you’d rather shoot anonymously, you can! Just use a teddy bear or a mask or a sign etc so the camera has something to look at! :) be as inventive as you’d like! *By sending the video to us, you agree to be on our channel and give us this right to edit and post as such
If you’d like to take part, please attach your video to email and send to: [email protected]
The deadline will be next weekend (14/01) so I can stick everything I have together and edit in time for the film coming out ^_^
Thank you to everybody who takes part! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me here!
I won’t do this for privacy reasons but please everybody get involved in this!
Oh! Good thought!
If you’re worried about privacy, I’m also happy to do a “read out”!
This is a paragraph, written by you, that I’ll happily read out on screen as a true perspective in your exact words :)
So the same as above goes! If you have a paragraph that you’d want written up and posted to the channel to be read out by one of us (anonymously or otherwise, but please let me know if you have a pseudonym or preferred name), send it all to: [email protected]
Thanks ^_^
Going to do this!! After all the hate I got in the comments section of a trailer on facebook I can already see the change. It hurt me so much, all the hate that attacked me. -Alicia
Connie isn’t 100% Human
I’m going to admit right now that I never thought I would make this theory, let alone endorse it, but after a period of uncomfortable denial I’ve realized that I cannot in good conscience keep this to myself. I think one of Connie’s distant ancestors might have been a gem-human hybrid. The words taste bitter coming out of my mouth, but I wouldn’t say them without evidence
From the beginning, we were told that there has never in the history of anything and everything been another half-gem like Steven, and that his very existence is unprecedented, and yet…
Rose: Steven, we can’t both exist. I’m going to become half of you.
How the fuck did Rose know this? There’s never been a half-human hybrid before. Hell, no gem has ever given birth before! How the could she have possibly known that he wouldn’t just be a pure human, or that he would wouldn’t just have his own gem, or that she would become a part of him rather than simply being trapped in his gemstone? This has happened before, and Rose hid that from her own team!
That brings us to another issue: Fusion
Greg: Wait, you guys are Gems. You gotta help me out here, I need to be able to fuse with Rose.
Garnet: First you need a gem at the core of your being. Then you need a body that can turn into light.
One of the problems that’s bugged me the most behind the scenes is the fact that Steven was able to fuse with Connie. How Steven’s body works has been a mystery for some time. He seems to be a mix of flesh and light since he’s able to shapeshift and fuse all the same, but if Connie was human, she should just be made of meat and bones and keratin. Her being able to fuse with anyone, even Steven, should be completely impossible by the logic of the show!
And while we’re talking about things that should be impossible, let’s talk about her being able to lift Rose’s Sword
This is a weapon made for a woman twice her size with super strength, and yet Connie wields it effortlessly in battle. Wields – not bench-presses – wields, with skill and grace. I can guarantee you that you are not going to find a 12-year-old human girl out there who can fight with a greatsword in one hand. Believe me, I’ve run experiments.
And you know what? We shouldn’t even be shocked. This was foreshadowed a while ago. Listen to this:
Connie: Okay… *pulls out Unfamiliar Familiar*
Steven: *opens eyes* *gasp* BOOOOKS! Whoa, cool cover!
Connie: It’s my favorite series! It’s about this girl named Lisa and she’s a witch! - I mean, she doesn’t know she’s a witch at first. Anyways she goes on this quest to find her father after he’s kidnapped by the mysterious one-eyed man.
And who does Connie dress up as in Open Book?
She dressed up as Lisa, the girl who didn’t know about her magical powers!
Side Note: I wonder if that mysterious one-eyed man who kidnaps her father is foreshadowing for something
Okay, back to Connie. I think it’s safe to say there Connie having a distant gem relative isn’t as far-fetched as it sounded. If said ancestor was male like Steven is their quarter-human offspring probably wouldn’t have a gem, but since Steven canonically has gem DNA there would still be some left over traits.
The real question now is who? Contrary to the image above, I don’t think Connie is a descendant of Blue Diamond since she is still presumably alive. How would that even work anyway? Sexing up a 25-foot-tall woman is not something a human is capable of, no matter what JK Rowling might tell you. That said there is quite a bit of evidence that Connie’s gem ancestor was of the blue court. Both she and her mother resemble blue court gems
And the blue court itself had a definitively Indo-Persian aesthetic
There’s also the blue court’s ever-present connection with water, whereas Connie spent her very first episode trapped on the ocean floor
Plus there’s the fact that Connie is almost always seen in a blue or teal outfit
At this point, I’d hazard a guess guess that Connie’s gem ancestor was a Turquoise
This hurts me on a personal level. I can't deny this though...
READ THIS. It was posted on FB today, then someone commented on it and said their 19year old son even got one in the mail TODAY.
If you live in Sacramento read this and protect your selves as well as friends, family, and peers. Huge human trafficking area!!!
Sacramento,CA. Is the #2 hotspot for human trafficking in the United States. BOOST
Oh my god. I got a letter exactly like this in Louisville, KY. The exact same wording and everything. I threw mine out because there was no letterhead or information and I thought it was just a scam but I had no idea that it was this bad. I have no idea how they found me. Please be safe out there.
I got this letter too wtf…
I got that letter too in AZ everyone be super careful.
This is also happening in San Diego!!! I received one in the mail on friday!
I live in Kansas and got this letter a few weeks ago too. Be careful everyone.
Holy shit I live in AZ I’ve got this letter like 5 times that’s scary as hell
I GOT THIS LETTER IN THE MAIL A FEW DAYS AGO IM SHAKING RIGHT NOW
Please be careful oh my God i can’t stress enough don’t fall for fake shit like this they are very apparently suspicious but they target teens who are desperate for a job PLEASE be careful holy shit
Yeah it’s fucked up. I’ve gotten two addressed to me. Everyone please be careful
Idk if this is real or not, but since so many of my followers are female, please be careful. <3
The hell?!
This is why I never post my pictures on the Internet. Ever. I don’t even SNAPCHAT my face in case some freak gets their hands on it. Fuck men.
Living in AR and got it too. Kind of freaking out.
dude what the fuck i got one of those too???
the terrifying thing is that i was actually going to apply because it sounded like a really good deal
(personal info aside from my first name edited out bc obviously)
also, mine has a website attached to it (my name.VectorApply.com), and when i went to the website, and after asking for my zip code this is what popped up:
which is obviously incredibly suspicious (just heads up, ANY job application you do will ask you for much, much more information than this. if all it asks you for is name, email, and phone number, it’s most likely a scam, and you need to close out of that as fast as possible tbh)
and, just as a test, i put in a fake name for the first half of the url (fuckhandsmcmike.vectorapply.com), and the same screen shows up, which… wouldn’t be correct if it only generated urls based on potential “applicants” that had received letters
i would HIGHLY recommend reporting this to the appropriate authorities if you’re able to, because this shit is shady as fuck and very, very scary.
holy fuck i was going to apply but i got sick i feel like i dodged a bullet
Jesus Christ my Husband got this letter and we were about to call I’m so glad he found this Jesus Christ this is so creepy
I’m scared; I got this letter a few days ago?? I live in TN and this is tell absolutely terrifying; everyone please stay safe!
reblog to save a life
Hey I got this letter too and I live in New Hampshire!! I’m fortunately to ave immediately known what it was but others may not!!
I know Vector is actually a legit thing, although I wouldn’t suggest it based on research. Not sure about the others.
My girlfriend just got a letter like this, so I feel the need to boost
This is also happening in NY
Please reblog to save a life!! Signal boost the hell out of this!!!! If Alicia didn't escape when she did, with the help of us, we'd be trafficked as well.... This is a terrifying thought! -Larissa
PETA
you guys remember when PETA stole people pets off their porches and euthanized them?
you guys remember how it came out that PETA kills about 90% of the animals it takes in, including healthy and adoptable puppies and kittens, stating “ We could become a no-kill shelter immediately. It means we wouldn’t do as much work”?
you guys remember when PETA advocated killing all pit bulls for the crime of being pit bulls?
you guys remember when PETA handed out these comics to children when there were no adults looking?
you guys remember when they made a porn site and then filled it with videos of animal abuse, and (also in that link) claimed cats should be vegetarian?
you guys remember when PETA lied about sheep shearing, got caught, and defended the lie as true even after they admitted the sheep in their picture wasn’t even real?
you guys remember when they tried to excuse their horrifying ways by claiming that the person who exposed them was manipulating the facts by taking them and putting them in the wrong context?
Because I remember. I remember everything.
And I’m gonna make sure everyone else remembers too.
Why would they kill pit bulls they’re sweeties
Because PETA does not care about animals. they do not care that these dogs live and breathe and feel and want love like every other dog. they do not care about the history of human/dog bonding and co-evolution, they do not care that dogs and human beings have relied on each other for millennia, they do not care that its cruel and morally repugnant to put down an animal just because you can, they do not care about animals.
PETA cares about money and publicity, its a corporation run by a psychopath who is afraid of pitts as it states in the link: she was apparently bit by one, and now she hates them.
PETA doesn’t give a rats ass about animals. They just want to kill and make money off of idiots who fall of their spiel.
Some celebs support them
ah c’mon, dear-tumb1r, I think you’re being a bit harsh. I mean, okay, PETA’s done some questionable things, but it’s not like they’ve also
-spread false information about milk causing autism based on outdated bullshit information
-used holocaust imagery to compare the meat industry to concentration camps (no pictures)
-used a young man’s brutal death as a way to say “yeah that’s awful but it happens to animals every day and nobody cares about that” (tw: no pictures but the way the guy died is described and it is really horrible)
-dressed up in KKK robes and protested outside of the Westminister Dog Show to protest breeding/pure bred dogs (tw: racism)
-offered to pay the water bill for literally the poorest neighborhood in Detroit if and only if they all went vegan for a month (tw: self-righteous shitheads)
-and they definitely didn’t have two of their workers accept perfectly healthy animals from an animal hospital, with the implication that they would give them good homes, clarify that these animals were all healthy and well-tempered, and then euthanized them all in the back of a kill-van before dumping their dead bodies behind a grocery store (tw: PICTURES OF DEAD ANIMALS, animal death)
-and they totally didn’t get off pretty much scot-free for it because PETA has loads of money and lawyers to defend themselves, which coincidentally might be why the Cerate family hasn’t seen justice for their kidnapped and murdered dog, Maya. (tw: animal death)
Nah. PETA’s not that bad.
(/the heaviest of all my fucking sarcasm, I am salty as a fucking winter road, lord do I fucking hate PETA)
Did you think i was fucking joking, PETA?
I will make sure everyone fucking remembers what you’ve done.
Bringing it back, because it’s charity season and people need to know NOT to give charity to these fuckers.
Spread the word
This is why none of us our advocates for PETA. They're inhumane and cruel ways makes me sick!!
Dissociation Things
feeling all floaty like you just got off a treadmill
*looks at my family and friends* whoah who are these people i dont recognize them
this person is talking to me but I can’t concentrate on what they are saying and they look so strange and far away
where is my body? how am i controlling it? it isnt it attached to me
I know I should be having some kind of emotion right now but im not feeling anything except maybe a vague sense of guilt or fear
whoah where am I and how did I end up here? is this left or right
maybe if I do something really self destructive then i will Wake Up
Things that I thought were normal
Feeling like your body is moving (swaying, rocking sometimes quickly) when you’re completely still. Willing your body to move but not been able to, so being stuck in one position for an untold length of time. Feeling like you’re body isn’t yours, pinching yourself and acknowledging the pain but still feeling like its not you. Looking in the mirror and not recognising your face, making different expressions but feeling like you’re looking at someone else.
“It’s only a trigger if it causes horrible flashbacks” is so utterly divorced from how the concept of a trigger is used by actual real therapists
a thing doesn’t have to cause traditional flashbacks to be a trigger. a trigger can be a thing that causes:
- panic attacks - emotional flashbacks* - anxiety episodes - paranoia/delusions - hallucinations - seizures - rage episodes - manic episodes - depression spikes - suicidal thoughts - dissociative episodes - sensory overload - obsessions and compulsions (as in OCD)
and probably more things than that, i don’t know all the possible things. I’m not trained in clinical psychology, but neither are all the assholes who say “It’s not a real trigger unless it gives you flashbacks”
* an emotional flashback is a type of flashback where you feel the emotions associated with the trauma happening to you while still on some level knowing that the trauma isn’t currently happening to you. this is a more common type of flashback than the traditional kind.
tl;dr the word trigger in clinical psychology (the field of therapists) can refer to many things other than traditional flashbacks. stop telling ppl “that’s not a trigger unless it gives you flashbacks,” because you are utterly fucking wrong.
also: anyone who uses this post to tell someone their trigger isn’t a trigger is an asshole :^)
And: literally nothing is too stupid to be a trigger for someone how dare anyone act as if they can decide whether or not something is “bad enough” to trigger a person
For me a small trigger will cause dry mouth, a knot in my throat, a pit in my stomach, I can't breathe and I get a hard shudder down my spine. A big trigger will cause me to loose all control such as hallucinations, flash backs, panic/anxiety attacks, and so much more.... -Alicia
Yo if you’re a system/multiple/did/osdd/dissociative, reblog this, like this, leave a comment, etc and I’ll check out your blog! If you have more system followers, please reblog so your followers can like it too so I can see them as well!
C.A.O. system here!! Be aware our blog is random since it's open to everyone. Only Lexx has a blog but she thinks she's keeping it hidden.
Reading about abusive men and the way they think. Very unsettling and an incredible book so far. Here are my very professional notes.
what book is this?
This is from “Why Does He DO That” by Lundy Bancroft.
I’m so glad I’m seeing more and more Lundy Bancroft quotes on my dash because this book CHANGES THE LIVES OF ABUSE VICTIMS. The programs run for rehabilitating abusive men through the courts? Bancroft DESIGNED THEM. His programs are replicated ALL OVER THE WORLD. He literally wrote THE book on abuser rehabilitation.
Here’s a link to a pdf copy. If you haven’t read this book yet, read this book.
Can we talk about how it seems like the entirety of the book is online on PDF, this making it accessible to anyone with an internet connection?
That is how we stop abuse.
We enable everyone to know what it looks like, so that when it happens, they can shut it down.
Arm yrself with knowledge!
Changed my life, would reccomend.
Reblogging for the PDF link.
—BB
Always reblogging because this isn’t just a partner abuse thing, this is a common abuse tactic PERIOD: Parents, siblings, bosses, general assholes, etc…

Alters: why the fuck is there a zebra in here
sometimes you say or do bad things while you’re in an awful mental place. sometimes you say things that are rude or uncalled for or manipulative. and i’m not going to hold that against you. mental illness is hard, and no one is perfect. but once you’re through that episode, you need to take steps to make amends. you need to apologize.
“i couldn’t help it, i was having a bad episode” is a justification, not an apology.
“i’m so fucking sorry, i fucked up, i don’t deserve to live, i should stop talking to anyone ever, i should die” is a second breakdown and a guilt trip. it is not an apology.
when you apologize, the focus should be on the person you hurt. “i’m sorry. i did something that was hurtful to you. even if i was having a rough time, you didn’t deserve to hear that,” is a better apology. if it was a small thing, you can leave it at that.
if you caused significant distress to the other person, this is a good time to talk about how you can minimize damage in the future. and again, even if it is tempting to say you should self-isolate and/or die, that is not a helpful suggestion. it will result in the person you’re talking to trying to talk you out of doing that, which makes your guilt the focus of the conversation instead of their hurt.
you deserve friendship, and you deserve support. but a supportive friend is not an emotional punching bag, and mental illness does not absolve you of responsibility for your actions. what you say during a mental breakdown doesn’t define you. how you deal with the aftermath though, says a lot.
This is the most carefully-nuanced discussion of this I think I have ever seen. Thank you for writing this.
Keep in mind though that the person you hurt does not have to accept your apology.
