One thing that pisses me off about most DID/OSDD rep is that its almost ALWAYS EXCLUSIVELY “mr normal” and then “mr evil kills everyone for no reason”. No in between or variation. I feel like having alters who are more “aggressive and violent” can be excusable depending on context, like if it was during a war or everyone for themselves situation? But nooooooo it’s always some suburban white collar dude.

Tutorial on drawing characters/OCs who have some sort of facial paralysis. It doesn't cover all possible variants because I was using mirror as my main reference lawl
Keep in mind that this is an introductory drawing tutorial and has some generalizations in it, so not every “X is Z” statement will be true for Actual People 👍

Idk if others relate. But alters all have a vibe™
Like a lot can factor into the vibe. Their gender, their role in the system, their personality.
But each of those factors make a vibe till the point you can tell who it is. Alot of times it's about eliminating first. Like "this is the vibe of a girl. Out with all the men"
Telling which alters is fronting is playing a subjective game of guess who.
Some people might romanticise or misunderstand DID due to portrayals in media and social circles. Here are a few reasons why they might think it's "fun" even though the reality is very different.
Media Influence: Movies and TV often dramatise DID, making it seem exciting or mysterious rather than showing the real struggles that come with it.
Social Media Trends: Some online communities talk about DID in a way that focuses on the uniqueness of having multiple identities, rather than the distress and challenges.
Perceived Escape from Responsibility: Some might think having different identities means avoiding responsibility for actions, which is a harmful misconception.
Curiosity About Different Identities: The idea of switching personalities can seem fascinating, like playing different characters, without understanding the serious psychological impact.
In reality, DID is a complex and distressing disorder that results from trauma. It’s not something enjoyable.

I want two sooo bad when i was little, i made a big slideshow for a school project in elementary. I totally forgot about thisss.
today's bug thing is this button caterpillar hat!
Ive been up since four in the morning but i dont remember any of it this is so annoying. Seems we got a lot done today so thats a plus.
I find one big misconceptions about fictives in systems is that they are characters that you like/liked. Like I’m a Vriska Serket fictive, and our system HATED the character Vriska. And it took me a while to be myself and be okay with it, and now everyone is chill with me. Just something Ive been thinkin about. It was kinda funny cause one day everyone was like, “oh you actually chill as fuck”. Some of them still dont like the character, but we also know that im not my source.

The future should not be plural.
The future should accommodate for those with dissociative disorders.
The future should have further more thorough research in dissociative disorders.
The future should be more accepting of dissociative disorders.
BUT
The future should not be plural.
That means children are getting repeatedly traumatised at an impressionable age.
That means children don't have healthy coping mechanisms.
That means children AREN'T SAFE.
The future should not be plural, but it should be respectful and accepting to those who are.
Finally got around to scanning this ballpoint pen drawing from the other day.
We found a my little pony figure yesterday!!! Gonna fix her hair and put her with my other collection type things!
Ahhhh its so warm out, its very refreshing
i know i said he was going to be oiled up but that was a lie sorry
This drawing made me realise that actually I love the comfort zone and I would like to go back into it. Also that I must draw more tigers.
i feel so fuzzy, i don’t think weve been this dissociative for so long for over a year. amnesia is getting worse.
weve been applying to jobs, hopefully the applications are noticed quickly
