You'll get it eventually.

hey whats it called when you get like. gender euphoria but its from being called the name of a character and having that character as your pfp and imagining looking like that character. is that good

[ellienamored]

okay yeah this was introjection. we were wrong

Another one of my favourite character tropes is when one character speaks in a completely different style and genre as any of the other ones, and it's simply Just How They Talk and everyone has to live with that. Bonus points if people who have known them for a long time are so used to it that they don't even notice. But people who just met them find it weird.

"I am not asking you to forgive your uncle, but to at least understand him. The scars of his own past have made him blind to how his own cruelty wounds those around him. His heart was broken long before it froze and turned to stone."

"What the fuck is that even supposed to mean?"

"She's saying that your uncle is a cunt because he had a shitty childhood."

Hey I have a system related question! I thought we had traumagenic origins for our system but we mainly experienced little T traumas in childhood and it's making me wonder if DID can form because of that or if you need to have prolonged big T traumas to develop the disorder.

Our symptoms aren't so bad so I don't think we'd qualify for a diagnosis either way, but it does make me curious about other people with DID and if it's possible to have a CDD from little T traumas.

Hi anon

This is a great question, and the answer might surprise you

Emotional neglect is the biggest predictor of a CDD, and that neglect can come from many places-- schools, family, peers

Disorganized attachments in childhood play a central role in the development of CDDs, and even well-meaning, well-intentioned parents can form a DA style with their child

And that's not even getting into what having an unaddressed childhood disorder can do

Trauma isn't an event, it's a reaction to an event, and is very personal and unique to you, what might traumatize you won't bother someone else, and vice versa. Don't think of it as little and big trauma, because that's not how it works.

Neglect is shown to be equally as damaging to a child as physical and sexual abuse.

I'm pretty sure all of this is cited in this post.

If you browse my blog you'll find that I talk about this next point a LOT. I say this, firmly, not just for you, but for EVERYONE reading.

Don't put a "minimum" on how much someone needs to be struggling to qualify for a diagnosis or help.

Are you struggling?

Yes?

Good enough. Nothing more to be said.

You don't need to be "this" disordered to ride the ride, what do you think disordered looks like, then?

Not only is the mindset often rooted in ableism, but it's a misunderstanding of the course of the disorder, disorder vs disability, something the DSM encourages us to separate the concepts of, and of the dysfunction criteria.

I talk more here.

I'm not in the best shape, I really hope this helps, good luck friendo

dissociation kinda feels like... imagine theres a dot in your vision and you're always focused on that dot. you can still see the world and walk around and function using your peripheral vision but you can never focus on the world. you can only focus your vision on that dot and can never feel present

Interest Check: Assistance with PK/SP data entry

So frequently I see people complaining about needing to set up PluralKit profiles or organize their Simply Plural. I understand it, but I do not feel it. I fucking love data entry.

That being said...

Would you pay someone to do this for you, if you had the option? (not considering cost)

Yes

No

I've considered opening commissions for it, if that's what you'd call it, because it's relatively easy for me to do. I would need to have the data somewhere, but I would be happy to transfer all of it—that's what the payment would be for.

I'm still considering how the pricing would work, among other things, so I am also open for questions and suggestions about this.

Some other data, while I'm thinking aloud here, under the cut:

I would not be creating alters or identities, just listing information about them that already exists. The client would need to provide data (information, tags, etc) and images (icon, banner, etc).

There would be a consultation process regarding aesthetics, included information, length of description, etc...

There would be some things that I would not permit to be included on intros (triggers, mostly), but would be able to fulfill some other stuff (other languages, NSFW if you can give me a good reason)

I don't have much experience making SP fancy but it would not be hard to learn, it's just markdown. PK descriptions are all good; I'd likely have templates to choose from but could totally do some fiddling with them.

All account information would be kept secure. I'd have to come up with protocol for account/logged system access. I can't just tell people to trust me, which is what the protocol would address.

I don't have any experience with Octocon at all.

wonder how many people are plural and just straight up are in denial or ignore the signs longer because they don't feel like they qualify.

this was honestly me, I was suspecting there were other friends in my head with the way I suffer from depersonalization, but I pushed that denial further cuz I felt like a faker. i accept myself now despite having some shortcomings but my heart goes out to systems that are too scared or prefer to be secretive.

[wolfertinger666]

i will say, seeing people around me or people I follow/mutuals with go straight from

"it'd be funny if I had alters lmao, I just think about this stuff so much cuz it's interesting" to-

"I think I have something going on but I don't think I'm qualified I think I'm still a singlet" to-

"yeah I think we have more people here as I have some unearthed suppressed trauma lol"

[wolfertinger666]

another thing:

PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE YOUR ALTERS, i know it's so scary and overwhelming, but I've seen people pretend their headmates don't exist and it's caused more distress. even if you feel silly, please listen to them and hear them out, they deserve respect and patience too.

Two Face aka Harv was never the “bad side” of Harvey and I think Twos being angry was his only was to protect Harvey when they were the one in control

[about-faces]

I was just reminded that this is literally what writer Si Spurrier established in “A Tale of Three Halves,” that he’s a protective force of love.

Unfortunately, this brilliant idea is introduced in the middle of a huge, complex Batman epic so most people missed it. Hell, even I kinda forgot about it until I reread it a couple days ago!

I really wish this idea could catch on with more writers and readers, but that requires having compassion for Two-Face instead of just seeing him as a villain for Batman to punch.

DID sucks because in the morning you think "maybe I'm actually normal and I should stop overanalyzing my experiences and just enjoy life" and in the evening you get possessed by the ghost of yourself from 2018
