a lot of our posts will be venting probably. this is not a fandom blog; don't follow us for our fictives. limit reblogging our original/personal posts.

not sharing headmate names for privacy's sake & to avoid our fictives being blorboified - even if you think you recognize someone in our art, or guess from art we reblog, A) we don't reblog just ourselves, B) you don't know us!

need to add more emojis but i dont feel like doing that right now. just know the bar isnt up-to-date

1 month since our most recent tattoo and it's all healed! (there weren't complications or anything it just takes longer cause we have EDS)

the design was drawn by us, a stylized version of the pleiades star cluster, which is of course what we named our system after. lyrics from @jamiepaige 's breeze blows because oh stars has that song has helped us through so, so much, and now we have a constant reminder of it, and of ourselves, on our arm. even catching a glimpse of it, we get the song stuck in our head and know we're gonna be okay

the stars are color coded to some of the first headmates we became aware of, and each word is written in the handwriting of the five of those who front the most right now

it's been three and a half years since we found each other, and i can't say that it's all sunshine and rainbows, but a breeze always blows and we find our way back to each other

Tonight on My Husband Doesn’t Know How to Baby Talk

“Ma’am, are you aware that these, right here are your hands? They belong to you. And you get to decide what happens with them. So when you use these hands to pull your binky out of your mouth that is not necessarily a dad problem. I’ll fix it obviously i just want you to acknowledge it’s not my fault”

[kaity--did]

Husband: ma’am it has been reported lately that you do in fact have tiny little toes and a little button nose, do you care to comment?

Penny Rose: Babbles in Baby

Husband: RIVETING!

[kaity--did]

Penny Rose: Does that High Pitched Baby Yell ™️

Husband: Let it out friend! Feel your feelings!

[kaity--did]

Me: Hehehe silly husband doesn’t know how to do baby talk

All of tumblr collectively at my husband:

[kaity--did]

Penny Rose: does a sad baby scream

Husband: you don’t even have to understand taxes yet! I can explain them but you’ve got several years before that’s relevant!

Penny Rose: wide eyes, staring at her father, almost intrigued

Husband: I lied to you Penny your mother does our taxes. Do you want to know about arbitration? I know all about arbitration.

THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND

yes he just walks around the house and talks to her like this

[kaity--did]

Penny Rose: Cooing as twinkle twinkle little star plays

Husband: Now Penny there is a lot of misinformation out there in the world and I hate to tell you this but the moon is in fact not made of cheese. That is a conspiracy theory pushed by Big Dairy.

????

[kaity--did]

Husband: Holds Penny Rose up to her reflection in the microwave

Husband: you see Penny Rose! This was the M. Night Shyamalan twist! You were mirror baby all along!

[kaity--did]

FYI this is how you get a Deals Warlock if you were wondering

[justplainsalty]

I have follow up questions:

1) Did you participate in baby talk to make up for your husband's deficit, or did you also opt to speak to the Deals Warlock like a very tiny adult from babyhood?

1a) If you participated in baby talk with Penny, did she ever do any code switching with you while she was learning to talk (I mean, babyish talk back to you but fully formed adult like you share with us to Lawyer Dad)?

[kaity--did]

I didn't baby talk with her very much either! I think I squealed at her more than my husband did.

Something funny that has happened is that while she formally calls me Mama when she's answering me in passing she does call me "My Darling Love" and I don't know for sure but I think it's because I call her and her father "my loves" and her father calls me and her "darlings" and she's created a mash up 😂

So I'll say "okay penny it's time for bed" and I'll just hear "okay my darling love!" 😂

[kaity--did]

Everyone is always so so kind on this post but I do want to warn you all that this did in fact lead to an insanely verbal child, and if you choose that life you have to commit to that life.

Penny Rose is now 5 years old and she

1. Starts talking the moment she opens her eyes to the moment she passes out at night

2. Asks, and I am not exaggerating I counted, an average of 892 questions a day

3. Does not accept "I don't know" as an answer to said questions, will usually have a follow up question as to why you don't know OR a suggestion on how we can find out together

I pay for limitless data and have 709 Google tabs open on my phone at all times

What do we have to do for singlets to ever give a shit about us like

[pleiades--cluster]

Are we just supposed to pretend we don't exist. we told u we do bc we thought youd listen but apparently u heard "we're separate people" and took it to mean "so im allowed to dislike specific ones of you and be really loud about it" AS I F WE WONT FUCKING HEAR IT. AS IF IT DOESNT FUCKING HURT ALL OF US. AND WERE ALWAYS THE ONES AT FAULT FOR BEING BOTHERED BY IT? FUCK OFF

[pleiades--cluster]

Never fucking told us what we were doing wrong until we ask directly a year later when we already know u fucking hate us and were in too deep to change anything. fuck off fuck off fuck off

[pleiades--cluster]

I know im not supposed to be loved but u could at least fucking try with the rest of us. complain abt how we never talk to you but when we try we get talked over of course we gave up for fucks sake

if u didnt want us around u could fucking tell us instead of just silently resenting us every week like atp wed feel better alone at home than rotting on ur couch never being looked at and having 2 pretend were the host bc it's the only time u even pretend to give a shit

Differences.

[pleiades--cluster]

They're not used to me. Or any of us. Even today, they speak about me, assuming it's behind my back, and when I say that I'm right here, they say "Good." Good, you're here as witness.

Never once have I been told what bothered them. Never once have I been asked to stop doing or saying something.

Just gossip about me. Directly in front of me.

Not even our host will live up to their expectations of what they think we should be.

best kinds of characters either:

is/has been an active suicide risk

doesn’t or cannot consider suicide a real option and so is left with an inarticulable feeling of circling the drain

[purpleisdebeste]

I’m sorry Orpheus i was too harsh on you…

[purpleisdebeste]

i was in the physics lab today and we were working with lasers, so the Lab Freaks (legal name) were being very careful to stress that we Do Not Turn Around or Look Behind Us because we’ll get extremely blinded by the power of high strength lasers

and i’m not gonna lie it was actually extremely hard to resist turning around. i misjudged orpheus it turns out this isnt extremely easy actually

[purpleisdebeste]

okay i’ll be honest i 100% looked back at the lasers. actually multiple separate lasers multiple different times. they were pretty

and i didnt get blinded. so clearly lab safety isnt real and you should always risk it cus taking risks is awesome #gambling

but uh. my ass is NOT making it out of the underworld 🔥🔥🔥

Happy Festival of Everybody Yells at the Elemental Magus to those who celebrate!

[pleiades--cluster]

how do singlets not fucking realize that if you shit talk one of our alters to a different one ALL OF US WILL FUCKING HEAR IT. i know you complain about everyone you know to everyone else you know regardless of mutuality and just expect them to agree with you and not go telling but WE SHARE A FUCKING BODY AND MIND. how does it not ever occur to you that we'd get wind of it? how are you so fucking surprised that we don't want to talk to you when you're gossiping about us TO us? when you complain to us about parts of ourselves that we love, that protect us, that take care of us???

[pleiades--cluster]

don't even argue that DID is the amnesia disorder because ive told you multiple times that we don't HAVE amnesia between alters
