Some protector I am.

Having a fictive headmate is so funny…. You’re scrolling tumblr and see a post like “omg I can’t get [character] out of my head!!!” And you’re just like *deep inhale* neither can I, guy

"You know... I'm starting to think... That having two separate sets of thoughts... That can independently acknowledge each other... Might not be normal" - me from two years ago

hmmmm… WELP time to ignore THAT for the next *insert unit of time*. -Dean

For us the ignoring part was LITERALLY the next year and a half. -Julian

An experience I have that I haven't seen talked about in system spaces is being incredibly uncomfortable looking at photos of yourself when another alter was fronting.

Like I can't even bring myself to look at them, I just can't. If I notice a new video or photo of me or even a voice message that I sent to someone that I don't remember taking I get a sick feeling and really want to delete it without even taking a proper look. And when I do look/watch/listen? I just freak out. That's not me. But it's my face. My voice. Anyone else looks at it and they'll see me but it's not and that drives me mad.

It's the same with old photos and videos as well especially from childhood I get so freaked out when our mom tries to show us or other people old pictures of when we were little. I even lash out sometimes and I can never explain why just "don't show me that. I don't want to see it" maybe other people just take it for embarrassment? That's normal to be embarrassed of yout old baby pictures. But it's not embarrassment idk what it is but it's a truly awful feeling. I never want to see an old picture of me again.

Underrated system experience: being able to understand how other headmates are feeling and/or what they're saying without having to actually have an inner conversation.

That time Lucy took control of the vessel and made me a sandwich. And I, classic questioning host, proceeded to write it off as a burst of energy. I was wrong. Sorta. (Lucy basically is a burst of energy) (this was 2024, I believe!)
