i don't think any type of little/syskid are fully accepted at large.

we all know already that littles who like horror, or sex, or do drugs, aren't accepted. we know they're looked down on. & that's not okay! every system is different, & just cause that's something that would be unsafe for the littles in your system doesn't mean it's that way for everyone else.

but i've also noticed that littles that need help taking care of themself, littles who can't be online alone, littles that need help bathing, using the bathroom, & eating. littles that need out of the system caregivers. they aren't accepted either. but when i see people talking about littles that like mature things, i feel like they think dependant littles are accepted. maybe that's just me making assuming things.

every type of little is fine. every system is different & thats okay. everyone should be accepted & treated with respect.

something about sharing drawing duties with the syskid so he has things to do other than lying on the floor of headspace

sorry if the colours are off with this one! we're colourblind and forgot to turn on colour correction settings for a new drawing site 😭

this post uses parts and alters language and touches on topics of abuse.

how much comprehension do your littles, syskids, whatever have of the world? even your normal parts? this is a step that i don't hear talked about a lot so... i am making a post about it.

in any system setting, it can be easy to forget that some alters may have very limited and warped worldviews (including hosts), but especially littles and other small parts. not understanding the world around you because of specialisation can make fronting and living terrifying. this can result in negative interactions, miscommunication and fights.

if you, as a child, had never seen a car before, or a dog, then seeing them for the first time unprepared can be super scary. on the converse, learning about new things can be enriching/freeing for alters who might have been living with constant fear based on false assumptions or things that abusers said.

moving to an oea/ramcoa/whatever - do you know how easy it is to convince a vulnerable part with limited/no life experience that you are all powerful?

my favourite example of this is the weather app. my abusers would tell parts that they were gods and all powerful and could change the weather and predict it, days before it happened. alters would be terrified when it rained because they were convinced it was an intentional sign or punishment.

this is not magic. its just deception. they didnt know about the weather app or the news, meterologists, or anything. by providing more information to parts, you can provide new context to their life experiences

same with issues such as going to school/work (do people know about the trains/buses/your car? are they scared of the road? do they know where you're going in the morning?), being sick (do people know that many people will recover from illnesses?) or trying new foods

a lot of the time, alters just dont know. and thats not their fault. and its a good place to start.
