THE MISCHIEF MANIFOLD

AND THE UNIVERSE SAID I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE LOVE

hello and welcome to our blog! we are a polyfragmented DID system of roughly 160 with several other physical and mental conditions that impact our daily life. we tend to alternate between using first-person singular (I/me) and first-person plural (we/us) personal pronouns, depending on who's in front.

fandoms we participate in include the dream smp (characters not content creators), hazbin hotel / helluva boss, adventure time, the riordanverse, and steven universe, among many others! posts from different fandoms will be tagged appropriately and fandom tags will be listed in our featured tags for easy filtering :)

a good general overview of our system-wide stances is as follows [follow this link for a more detailed post on our stances (post in progress)]; please keep in mind that we don't owe anybody a debate and will block/delete as necessary:

anti-harassment and anti-censorship (for all intents and purposes, proship)

very far left-leaning on the political spectrum

anti-endogenic/willowgenic/non-traumagenic systems

if you're stumbling into the system community for the first time via this blog, or just need a refresher on what different terms mean, here are some helpful links for you:

what is dissociative identity disorder (DID)?

what does it mean to be polyfragmented?

common terms seen in the system community

the theory of structural dissociation [post in progress, check back soon! :)]

•──────────────────•°•🃏•°•──────────────────•

we don't have a specific DNI because we feel that they're pointless and incredibly hard to efficiently enforce, if you end up blocked it's for a reason. also, as a general rule of thumb we do not reblog or post requests for donations or financial aid.

people who are reblogging that post about imagining a world with no ads to go "um but actually what about Some Ads! I think we should have a little advertising as a treat! surely there must be at least a couple of ads!" what is wrong with you

[mischiefmanifold]

I have a very strong suspicion that “the future is plural” bullshit that people keep toting was coined specifically to push trauma survivors out of the spaces they made for themselves that and “willo/genic” although that one I think was made to victim blame systems too

it's eerily similar to "power to the plurals" which was big in the 90s and early 2000s

[closet-keys]

I think at bare minimum all medical professionals need to make sure they are treating patients with more kindness and respect than grifters. if you go to a doctor and they treat you like shit, humiliate you, and send you home without any information on your body or access to treatment, then health-grifters' offers will start to feel more tempting by simply giving the most basic performance of taking you seriously and caring about your well-being. grifters should be condemned for manipulating and exploiting sick people, and doctors also play a role in whether grifts thrive or are successfully identified and rejected. genuine baseline human respect, and beginning a relationship with a patient by earning (rather than demanding) trust, goes a long way.

the part I hate the most about endo system is the lengths they’ll go to make themselves out to be “not disordered” and then call people who do real, peer reviewed research on trauma and the survivors ableist for calling them out

it's because endos and pro-endos at their root are anti-science, they completely disregard the current accepted scientific literature in favor of endorsing the same group of people who were literally trying to have DID erased from the DSM in the early 2000s

[gayvampyr]

if you want to dress gay but aren’t sure how, you need to focus more on finding clothes you actually like and that make you feel good when you look in the mirror. develop your style independently of what you think looks gayest and trust the homosexuality will follow. it goes where confidence and self acceptance are

“What if poor people abuse the system?”

The system intrinsically abuses poor people.

Hope this helps.

[breninarthur]

"What if poor people abuse the system?"

Rich people abuse the system far more and out of pure greed, not necessity or desperation so idrc about that

[killapunk]

i feel like we've completely killed the ability to just gently tell someone when they're wrong or that their opinions don't pass the vibe check. we have to accommodate every single type of person and all their dogshit opinions OR we have to drive them off the internet, no in between

[theyaoimonster]

GRABS you by the THROAT. stop using "narcissistic", "slow", "depressed", "bipolar", "schizophrenic" and the literal R slur (i'm not saying it.) etc etc etc as insults. I don't care if you're neurodivergent and doing this you're still an ableist prick

[deafandbewildered]

Anti endo isn’t a discourse stance, it’s anti ableist and pro science. There is no discourse, there’s ableists and people with a disorder.

[paradisisland]

Once you know the history of “endogenic” as a word being made to support anti-DID/OSDD hate organizations/cults, you definitely start to see more nuance in the concept itself. Being “pro-endo” as a philosophy definitely is a discourse stance, but that’s because it was invented to be one, and it was done so to discredit those with dissociative disorders, and to label us as “crazy” and thinking we need to be forcibly institutionalized, silenced, or worse.

There is nuance to the concept of “non-disordered plurality,” and we really don’t know whether it exists or not — the problem is that people who self-label as “plurals,” “endogenics” and “non-disordered plurals/multiples” give absolutely zero evidence for their claims and experiences, do little to no self-evaluation to figure out their origins, and the fact that they founded their personal experiences and terms for them off of the backs of disabled and traumatized people, and then blatantly said “fuck you, I’m stealing your terms because your disorder isn’t real, you’re just crazy, stop using the terms for your disorder so that I can have them.”

[eldritchbauble]

"It pronouns are dehumanizing" what if I told you sometimes that's the point.

"It pronouns are derogatory" it as in a sunrise, it as in the night sky, it as in a sculpture, it as in happiness, it as in an object of desire, it as in a thunderstorm, it as in galaxies, it as in a song, it as in self love.

[paksthestoic]

I love the “captain’s log” mechanism in Star Trek as a method for time skips and exposition.

I am, however, devastated that we never got an episode where any captain’s voiceover is strained and slow. very precise about the events they’re describing. While the screen itself is showing the most batshit insane events and making it clear that the captain is trying VERY HARD to keep everyone involved out of a court martial.

(holding back my aggressive dog by the collar) Lolll sorry he gets like that around noobs

[disableddyke]

i do actually think a lack of an easy setting on games is an ableism issue

[mischiefmanifold]

[mischiefmanifold]

just trigger after trigger this morning while trying to pack to visit family. was already not doing great and now there's several alters in front who are freaking out about the shit that happened to us as a little kid that we can't remember and are desperately trying to remember if we did anything that could have gotten us put online for adults' entertainment
