this comic was originally meant to be a metaphor about my current depressive slump, but o was ironically too depressed to do more than 7 pages. i also didn't realize that it's kind of just Kafka's Metamorphosis but ✨for girls✨

can’t believe this has to be said but please don’t try to find me on other social media platforms beyond the ones i have publicly listed on my channel. i’m not comfortable with that and i will ignore your friend requests.

my firsts post... this is some of the methods my system uses to tell me they're real. we've mulled it over and felt like sharing it because the community on tumblr has helped us a lot with understanding and accepting things. <3

Heyy, I found you guys on yt and downloaded this app to try and meet more systems. I'm the host of a newly diagnosed system and wanted to know if you have any tips on how to make friends with people who are going through the same thing. We wanted to build a true friendship with someone that got it so the others in the system can feel more comfortable unmasking. That was kind of a big text, but I just wanted to ask if you have any tips on that

unfortunately the only advice i have is that you have to be willing to be vulnerable. you have to accept you might get hurt, and you have to keep yourself safe to the best of your ability despite that.

and be careful. people can be vicious. make sure you follow general online safety advice and be very careful what information you share publicly.

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

[yokowan]

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

[le-jardin-inculte]

at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly

[shithowdy]

at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.

[whitachi]

at some point in your life you will be adding a small pasta to a soup and you will think "that is not enough small pasta." this is the devil talking. the pasta will absorb the stock and expand. this is how you end up with a soup that is a solid mass of soggy ditalini.

[foldingfittedsheets]

at some point in your life you will be bringing sugar and butter to boil for toffee and you will think “it hasn’t thickened enough.” that is the devil talking. the toffee needs to cool before it can set. this is how you end up with toffee that will annihilate your mouth. learn from this folly.

"oh you're part of a system? that must be so awful, having people speaking inside your head and taking over your body to do whatever they want!" it wasn't awful when sunny realised I wasn't drinking enough and filled up a large bottle of water so that I could see it and pour it directly into my cup without getting up. it's not awful when jasper immediately shoots down my irrational fears with calm, kind logic.

[crabussy]

it wasn't awful when francis spent an afternoon at the aquarium instead of me and got to see all the fishes for herself. it's not awful when julian can't contain a snort of laughter in my head at something we both heard or saw. it's not awful when phoebe procrastinates on assignments to play beatsaber until she's sweaty and bored. it wasn't awful when jon sat outside on the porch late at night, talking quietly to a neighbour's cat. it's never awful when any of the others chime in about everyday tasks and decisions and ideas. it's not awful when I come back and see that my house is suddenly tidy. it's not awful when I come back and it's messier.

[crabussy]

we're just people moving through our lives with one body between us. we have just as many small joys, irritations, helpful moments, poor choices, fits of giggles, bad times, and affectionate interactions as anybody else on earth. you can't decide we exist in a state of constant misery from our mode of existence alone. I love my crew.

[crabussy]

it's been nearly 8 years since I figured out that I wasn't alone in here. in those 8 years, we've all been through so much shit. we've also made so, so many good memories. I truly wouldn't want to live any other way.

I hope you're kind to the systems in your life. you have a very real power to make being part of a system less awful, just by listening and treating us like real people. and is that not wonderful? [:

also referring to cases of DID being diagnosed more after a popular piece of media depicts it is like. yeah man, thats kinda just what happens when cultural awareness of something increases?

[lunarthesugarglider]

imagine you see a popular post about someone realizing theyve been getting poisoned by carbon monoxide in their home and youre like "wait ive been having weird experiences like that too" so you get a carbon monoxide detector and learn that you also have been getting poisoned by carbon monoxide. you tell someone about this and either they act like you spiritually manifested the carbon monoxide in your home by learning about it or they tell you that carbon monoxide poisoning isnt real because nobody got poisoned by it until they discovered it could poison people
