We are the mystery ward - also known as Shark, Hammerhead, or Mystery collectively. Our collective pronouns are it/they/ix, and you can either use our sys name or any of the names mentioned above to refer to us. (Do not call us Ward/The ward)

We are a bodily disabled and mentally ill system, and sometimes that will show. We will not be disclosing any of our diagnosis, and we request that you don’t ask.

You probably won’t get many names out of us on this blog, but some headmates may choose to sign off. If there is no sign off, do not ask who it is.

We are trans masc, aroace, and taken by our lovely partner system @theboykisserr .

This will be updated as needed, so feel free to send in any (respectful) questions you may have about us!

May 5 is the Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons, also known as Red Dress Day.

In the U.S., Native people are victimized by violence at 2.5 times the rate of all other racial demographics, and are 2 times more likely to be victimized by rape and sexual assault. This violence has an even greater disproportionate impact on Native women, girls, Two-Spirit people, and other trans and gender-diverse people. Native women on some reservations face a murder rate 10 times that of the national average, and over half of Native women have experienced sexual violence.

You can dress in red and/or wear a red handprint on May 5 to honor the missing and murdered, discuss the epidemic of violence against Native people and particularly Native people of marginalized genders, and consider donating to organizations supporting Native Peoples, people, and rights.

Being disabled sucks, and I won’t pretend like it doesn’t, but at the same time I know that I have it better than some do. I’m thankful that I’m able to drive, that I can go to school, even if only part time, that I can see my friends sometimes, that I can go shopping even if I need to use aids. Even though my body isn’t the best, it works, and I think that counts for something.

DID/OSDD/overall CDD ask game bc i love answering questions and am in a silly mood :))

This is like, half serious stuff, half silly goofy stuff so if ur using this ofc answer questions at ur own discretion. Also the use of the word "you" can be the collective or individual "you"! Answer how you want

👁 Was discovery a sudden or gradual thing for you? (eg. did it feel like everything came to light all at once, or did you slowly but surely notice and piece things together?)

🌕 Did you have any awareness of other alters before discovery? if so, how did you view them (e.g. "moods", ocs, imaginary friends, etc.)

🫧 Who fronts the most in day-to-day life? Do you have a host, a "main cast", everyone switching/fronting equally, etc.?

🍎 Does anyone have any very passionate/specific food/drink preferences (love or hate)?

☂️ Are you more overt or covert? Are there any alters who break this norm (are exceptionally good/bad at masking)?

🎭 What term(s) do you use for alters? (eg. alters, parts, identities, people, headmates, etc.) Feel free to share reasoning!

🎊 Is there a prominent gender among alters? How do you present your gender(s)?

🍃 How frequently do you switch? Is this frequency comfortable/manageable for you?

☁️ Do you have day-to-day amnesia? If yes, what does that feel/look like for you?

🌈 Any happy/"success" stories from opening up to people/reaching out for support you'd like to share?

🎲 Do you have any collective hobbies (activities everybody/almost everybody enjoys doing)?

💥 Do you have any physical symptoms related to dissociation/switching/etc.?

☄️ What symptom/aspect of the disorder is hardest to deal with in day-to-day life/something that's more irritating/difficult/complicated for you?

🌼 What symptom/aspect of this disorder actually doesn't bother you/is actually helpful/you're grateful for?

💡 What's one thing that you do to help ground yourself?

⭐️ Are you usually aware of who's fronting? How do you figure out who's fronting when you don't know/can't tell?

🦉 Is there anything you wish you could make everybody instantly know/understand about CDD's?

👓 Are there any characters you feel really "seen" by (whether they're meant to be a representation of a CDD or not)?

🎸 Are there any songs/albums/artists that you feel "seen" by (whether they're meant to be a representation of a CDD or not)?

note: this ask game is made and intended for those w DID/OSDD/p-DID/etc. please only use this if this applies to you :))

Comrade always remember that you must love your enemy as much as you hate them. Hate alone will poison you. You must love as strong as you hate. You must love the fascist so much that you can look past their wants for complete destruction of this world and acknowledge that they are a human just like you who deserves right just like you. Do not let their hate seep into you, love radically comrade

Hey, you are not an embarrassment for not knowing how to do certain household chores/basic self-care. They do not come naturally to us. A lot of it takes practice! Maybe you had a neglectful guardian. Maybe you had one that was very coddling and never thought to teach you. Maybe you haven't lived in a place where these things were available to you or needed. Doesn't matter. It's okay to not know and far more common than you might realise.

That said, this website provides very simple instructions on how to do everyday tasks such as making your bed, using a washing machine, cooking different foods, washing dishes, taking a shower, etc. All you have to do is use the search bar to find the task you're struggling with, and it'll come up with what you need + other related how-to's:)

If you're having trouble navigating it, let me provide you with some examples:

How to clean dishes by hand

How to make your bed (with visual demonstrations of each step!)

How to fold clothes (with visual demonstrations of each step!)

How to take a shower & dry yourself off (also provides ways to shave beards, armpits, legs and genitals)

How to shave legs, armpits, beards, pubic areas, etc. (a more in-depth guide)

How to mop the floor

How to sweep the floor

How to swallow pills

How to make small talk

How to make eye contact in different situations (or how to avoid it while still looking natural)

It's also perfectly okay if these don't help or aren't appealing to you. Unfortunately, nothing helps everyone.

Also if the reason you don't know is developmental , intelectual or learning disabilities making you struggle even if you've been taught a bunch of times , you are so cool and awesome too :^) [smiley face ]
