Hi! We're Pori, a system who loves to draw. What we love more or about as much as drawing, though, is sharing experiences! So, this blog is made to combine those two; And thus, dissociativedrawing was born! You'll see stick-figure comics that describe some stuff in our lives, whether it's the funny stuff or the not so funny stuff. We're here to make all plural communities feel accepted.

We don't really like telling people to dni. We also know that it just.. doesn't work one hundred percent of the time. But, if you're willing to listen to us, all we ask is that those who harass people don't interact. That's it. Whatever your stance is on origins other than traumagenic, we don't care, as long as you don't harass people about it.

We should also say that we are neutral on syscourse. We don't really take one side or another. Both sides can be very aggressive towards each other, so we've decided to keep it neutral here. We believe that DID, OSDD-1, and a lot of dissociative disorders in general are under researched; thus, it may be possible that systems can form for reasons other than trauma. Even based on our own experiences, we've had alters that did not form due to trauma but formed to please others, and that's just one example. However, we are not mental health professionals, so don't treat our word as the truth.

All in all, this blog wants to promote kindness and the ability to realize that other systems are not alone. So, if you need that, welcome! We're here to help.

As of right now, we will portray alters via sorting them by their role in the system. There's only one alter who will be portrayed as herself, and that's Mikan, our headspace nurse. Unless we find more nurses, she will be represented as herself, and not in a category.

Guide to our portrayals under the cut!

[Image ID: there are six stick figures, a word above each corresponding to their role. In order from left to right, the words read average, protector, host, malicator, nurse, body. The stick figure labeled average is compromised of white lines with black outlines. Its face is neutral. The stick figure labeled protector is light red with red outlines. It has a shield on its arm. Its face is a neutral frown. The stick figure labeled host is light yellow with dark yellow outlines. Its face is neutral. It has a heart on the middle-right of its body. The stick figure labeled malicator is dark grey with black outlines. It has no face. It has demon horns. The stick figure labeled nurse is pink with dark pink outlines. She has a halo above her head. She is smiling but with sad eyebrows. She has eyelashes, unlike the rest of the figures. The figure labeled body is tan with a darker shade of tan as the outlines. It has a neutral face with dark bags under the eyes. /End ID]

Hosts and protectors may be the backbones of our system, but sometimes they don't communicate the way they need to.. (Click the image for higher quality)

[IMAGE ID: A five panel comic. The first four take up half the page, divided into quarters. The first panel is a host alter looking worried, with a black background. In the second, the same alter looks more distressed, with a red scribble being faintly visible against the black background. In the third panel, they are holding back tears, with the red scribble being more visible. In the fourth, they are crying out, with the red scribble being fully visible. The final panel takes up the rest of the page. The host alter is shown further away from the "camera", having a breakdown on the floor. The nurse alter is asking a protector "Can we help at all?". The protector responds with "They won't tell us what's going on, so we don't know how to help..". The nurse alter looks worried, with nervous sweat on her face. The protector looks exasperated. /END ID]

I mean, it's a protector's job to worry.. (click for high quality!)

[Image ID: a comic with four panels. The top and bottom are rectangles, while the middle looks like a rectangle cut at an angle in the middle. The first panel is a host alter stubbing their toe and yelling "OW!". The second is the same alter saying "gonna kms—" to themself, while a protector alter glares at them in the third panel. In the final panel, you can see both, and the host exclaims "I was kidding!" while the protector stares at them disapprovingly. The word kidding in the host's speech bubble is underlined twice. /End ID]
