"But the evil fakers!!! They're why nobody takes me and my x disorder seriously!-" ah, so close! Nobody takes you seriously because you are visibly a minority in a medical field that can't sympathize with anyone that deviates from western eurocentric standards and values. Oh, you also don't fit the stereotype of what a typical person with x disorder looks like. Yeah, those people are just saying fakers are the issue because its easier to say that "faking" is the issue instead of saying it's the system they rely on. Yeah sorry, killing all the "fakers" won't change the system at all. No, yeah, you've still got a lot to learn.

"brutus" (11/25/24)

boys and girls like you and me were contrary even in the womb, he says, and i nod. every detail of my life points to something not quite there, a rushed job with minimal effort. i’ve always been the runt of the litter, fighting for nutrients as i’m shoved back by the crawling of my brothers and sisters. in birth i refused to turn and instead begged for the scalpel and the needle. in childhood i screamed and cried as though i was a woman possessed, in need of an exorcism. and as i grew older it only became more obvious that i wasn’t very good at performance. as i approached womanhood, i became the problem child in about five different ways, i balanced precariously on a wire and prayed i wouldn’t fall just yet. i have spent the past eighteen years of my life careening toward an inevitable end. a star that consumes itself in death, an actress found collapsed in the dressing room after one final performance. i have navigated the world as something less than human, something faulty that was beyond fixing, and i have only hoped i would one day find the piece that would make it all fit back into place, and i could be whole for the first time. if you’ve been graced with a place in the world, you might not understand it. but to machines built like me, there is nothing more horrible than the act of not belonging.

and it’s not really fair, he says, that i’m here, because he was here first - and he does a much better job at performing myself than i ever could. i think i might be inclined to agree with him, but i wonder if he’s not better off. he wouldn’t have been strong enough to watch us crash and burn, the shame would have eaten at him until he couldn’t take it anymore. but me? i might be worse at many other things, but i’m quite good at holding to the steady rhythm i’ve long maintained instead of rocking the boat. and i think i do rather enjoy this life i’ve carved for myself, even if he curls his lip in disgust at the mere sight of me. there are a collection of pieces that i like having clenched beneath my fist, and i’m braver than he is in that regard: if he’s here to provide us with dignity, then i’m here to make sure that we stay afloat. he doesn’t like me, and i don’t really think that i like him either, but at least we have damned ourselves to the mutual cause of continuing our careening path.

i’m sure there are much more broken people than you and me, i say, who have cultivated even greater. if stubbornness has kept me here until now, then i will shoulder that horrible grudge until i find out what draws people to this life, and even if i never find out, then at least they will admire my commitment to my pride long after i’m gone from this life. i’m being haunted - in as literal of a sense as a haunting can get - by a version of myself that wanted so much greater for us. my answers aren’t enough for him, he’s as stubborn as i. but i don’t really pay him much mind anymore. he can grit his teeth and lie in wait, hoping to reach the time when he’s once again needed more than i. and in the meantime, i will continue with my stubborn grip, and i won’t let the perfect machines sneer at the likes of us. i will tell them my brokenness is far more authentic than their functionality will ever be, and they will envy me, and i will wait. my brother will wait, and i will wait for him, too.

what do you do when you fear the mirror?

[crabussy]

being part of a system is a metronome that swings between “DEBILITATING TERRIFYING SELF DOUBT THAT MAKES YOUR ENTIRE WORLD TEETER ON A KNIFE’S EDGE” and “CRUSHING ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY THAT IT’S ALL REAL BECAUSE NO OTHER EXPERIENCE ON EARTH COULD EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN THIS”

[crabussy]

but it’s also just. normal. I wake up. I go through life. and I generally have a very good time. there’s just that background hum of “ohh fuck… is this my life????? oh god! this is my life!!!!!! oh hey! this is my life!” and I think going through those motions is okay. it’s a wild way to experience life. all things considered, we’re doing pretty okay.

[leathersys]

no privacy in this damn system

[crabussy]

"I just find it hard to believe some people who claim to be systems. why do all their alters have strange names and unique appearances and weird mannerisms?" queer people are disproportionately at risk of experiencing childhood trauma. autistic people are disproportionately at risk of experiencing childhood trauma. there are countless studies on this if you want to hear it right from the source. childhood trauma is the driving factor behind a massive majority of DID/OSDD system formations. I trust that you can connect the dots here!

[crabussy]

if you intentionally choose to disregard peoples' existences based on their appearance or behaviours, you have biases that you absolutely need to deconstruct before people like me can ever feel safe around you.

you can start by saying nothing about how you "just can't believe it" when someone you don't know exists as a system where you can see. you can keep going by trusting the people in your life when they share extremely vulnerable information about themselves.

[crabussy]

telling someone that you're part of a system feels like exposing your soft underside. I've cried from terror almost every time I've had to reveal it to someone I care about, and I don't cry easily. if someone tells you they're part of a system, they're placing a monumental amount of trust in you.

please don't break that trust.

[crabussy]

actually, another thing!!! you are seeing systems who:

1. actually know that they're systems (this is rare. being online makes resources on figuring it out WAY more accessible) 2. happen to exist in the same online space as you, the tumblr user reading this 3. are, as a result, usually younger and/or autistic and/or queer, which are all factors that can influence individual alters' identities.

so of COURSE you think we're all like this. you're looking at one damn tree instead of the whole forest!!! there are systems who are 60 years old and never had the resources to figure out what was going on. there are systems who are 30 and barely use social media for personal reasons. there are systems who are 20 and don't tell anyone because of the cruelty they've faced every time they try. there are systems who are 15 and are SO relieved to have answers to why everything felt weird and wrong their whole life, so they shout it from the rooftops. your limited interactions with systems in specific online spaces does not represent the majority of systems on earth.

even if it did represent the majority of systems on earth we STILL deserve to be treated like people. this should not be something I have to beg for!!!!!

[crabussy]

I'm in tears. I'm in tears.

keep getting glimpses into an alternate timeline where plurality is more normalized and you can buy shitty tshirts and mugs about it

[blixandco]

Like this?

[64mpg]

what do you mean my childhood affected me

[64mpg]

i have terrible news

[giragirameganedan]

just woke up from a dream in which “having a two year old alter” was such a common identity facet among the general public that you could buy like mugs and gift bags etc related to this at any walmart or target

[giragirameganedan]

bumper sticker reading “watch out: i’m letting this fucker drive!” alongside the universally understood symbol for two year old alter

no one is better at writing an Extremely Plural metaphor than someone who is supposedly singlet doing it by accident

plural rapper who lists all of their alters as features on an album

[r0ttingsystem]

Being a system is so weird like my mummy and daddy didn't like me so now I'm sans the skeleton

[faesaint]

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

[pipshinwhatever]

If you think about a fictional character enough you should be able to manifest them into reality. So I can make komaeda work the closing shift today
