littlecourse is so stupid. if you can treat any other alter normally, treat us normally.
"littles can't be involved/look at mature topics" yes I can actually.
"littles can't swear or be in places where people are allowed to swear" wrongg we can handle it & Kenny (insys) says quite a lot for a ten year old..
"littles can't take care of the system!" yes actually we can
it's weird to police other systems' littles & using myself as an example, even if I wasn't able to handle mature topics, the rest of the system is very into media that handles them. So naturally, I'd end up knowing just from being in the same space as them.
The plural community, at its core, has a complete, uneducated, misunderstanding of what an alter is.
They think that the term and concept can be separated from CDDs because they wholeheartedly believe that alter is just "someone else in your head". I don't think I have to explain how that's extremely watered down and ableist.
In refusing to understand how CDDs work, how they form, and how alters come to be in the first place they water down alters to just a "buddy in your head", rather than a severe response to severe trauma.
Their community time and time again, refuses to listen to those with CDDs around them that call them out of their ableist logics and behaviors. They refuse to see how the very core of their beliefs are born from pure ableism. And in doing so, they are a community that isn't safe for any trauma survivors, let alone anyone with a CDD.
It's incredibly disappointing that even when you argue with polite and nice endos and pro endos, who actually listen to what you have to say, they still aren't actually taking in the information you're giving them. They still aren't actually listening to the disordered person telling them how the community they're in is unsafe and ableist, because they see endos as "friendlier". Because they don't see the ableism, because they don't have our fucking disorder.
as someone who isn’t endogenic and probably has a cdd, i’ll always prefer an endogenic/etc space because i know that some of my experiences could be looked down upon by sysmeds and i just don’t have the energy to fight for a space in a community that wouldn’t have believed/wanted me anyway. i’ve battled with this for years. everyone experiences plurality differently and if you’re TOO different, you get torn apart for it. at least with endos and the like they won’t judge me.
Fragmented Festival is a zine dedicated to normalizing systemhood through art. We want to make this page safe for all pwCDDs, whether questioning, undiagnosed, diagnosed, or having gone through final fusion.
To submit, post on Tumblr with the tag #fragmentedfestival2026 and optionally, tag us! (If applicable, put sensitive content under a cut and content warn.)
FAQ below the cut!
Who can submit?
Any person who considers themselves a CDD system. This means OSDD, P-DID, UDD, and unlabeled CDD systems. This includes pro-endo and mixed origin cdds.
What can be submitted?
All submissions must be images, writing or both. They also must pertain to systemhood.
What can't be submitted?
Irrelevant/off topic works, gifs, videos, anything related to being an endogenic system (does not apply to systems who formerly thought they were endogenic), heavy gore, heavy eyestrain. You may not create content that encourages hate, illegal content, pornographic content, etc. but you may talk about it. Ex: writing about sexual abuse is okay, writing graphically about it is not. Writing about racism you experienced is okay, writing about how certain racial groups should die is not.
Can (x) systems submit?
See "Who can submit?" above, or send an ask.
Does this blog have a stance?
This specific blog is stanceless, neu-endo if you must, but is designed for CDD systems.
