But Overall, It Would Be A Really Hard Task To Write A System Especially Without Being One. I’m Not

helloo ! ive been wanting to ask if you have any specific tips or things to focus on while writing characters with DID ! im not a system myself but psychology in general has been a topic that ive always been interested in and want to depict it to the best of my ability + i love your art and wish you the best ^^

Good question!

Writing about DID/OSDD is incredibly difficult- even I a system probably couldn’t do it, but I can give you some advice regardless. Obviously saying “research” is expected, but finding good research on it is hard. As always I recommend as a starter for understanding the fundamentals of the disorder : “The Haunted Self: Structural Dissociation and Treatment of Chronic Traumatization” just look that up and I’m sure you can find it on the internet archive or docdriod. As a rule of thumb don’t trust system tiktok, tumblr, carrds, or any personal account to get the majority of your information from just because there’s an incredible amount of misinformation (of course there’s plenty others on there who probably know what they are talking about, but I’d always recommend using credible peer reviewed sources.)

With the research disclaimer thing out of the way here’s a few points:

-It’s a trauma based disorder, everything is structured around trauma. Not just a singular trauma but repeated emotional, physical, and typically sexual trauma that is experienced under the age of 10 (You don’t need all three, just a lot of systems experience a mix of trauma) To write DID/OSDD right you should be able to write child traumatization accurately and be comfortable with writing it.

-There is a vast amount of different experiences with DID/OSDD. There are varying levels of amnesia, alter presentations, system structures etc. not all systems use plural terms, have names for alters, or have much personality differentiation between alters. The experience of a Osdd1a system will be different to a DID system, so you’d probably want to look into the specifics of those differences and stick to one type of system.

-Try to avoid misconceptions and DID tropes in media. The most obvious one I can think of is “the evil alter” trope, there’s quite a lot of demonization of the disorder so you have to be critical when viewing media depicting it (fuck the split movie).

-unless it’s apart of a character arc avoid the uncritical idea that alters are just their source. it’s healthy for them to branch out and expand from their baseline purpose and identity.

As for things I’d like to see in DID/OSDD rep it’d be:

-representing extreme denial

-loss of time

-source separation would be cool

-fusion and dormancy being mentioned

A lot of media hyper focuses on Alters when that is only one aspect of system hood. I think I’d be cool to look at the other symptoms.

But overall, it would be a really hard task to write a system especially without being one. I’m not saying it’s impossible but it’s easy to fall into misrepresentation even if it’s well meaning (it’s easy to do that even if a person is a system, that’s why I’m too scared to write it) If you are going to do it, do a very thorough amount of research before you develop an idea of a character. I know I sound really upset at the idea, I’m not I do really like the idea of representation- but DID/OSDD is such a stigmatized disorder that you have to be so so so careful not to add onto the stigma. I do believe it’s possible to do it right though! I wish you luck and thank you for the compliment.

I wanna extend the idea of Crowley and Aziraphale discovering abt LGBTQIA+ pride and things abt it, bc i think they would find everything so amusing, humans, going against everything that for centuries was teached as wrong, that love is not a sin, and that their gender is something they feel and change, god i would love seeing they learning more abt and finding themselves in it

Aziraphale i think that, when he founds out abt homophobia/transphobia and people using god's image to turn it into a sin he justs, "???????????? Wait what", like, he is so confused

Also, its like you said, SO MUCH MORE INTIMATE they fighting eachother with all their strength, i have read fics where their fighting is one of the only moment they feel alive, where they ONLY want to fight eachother bc with any other person it only feels like a dumb fight, it doesnt have the same purpose, or adrenaline, or they dont feel like the other person could fight equal to equal with them

I like SO MUCH this type of dynamic, the fighting being their way to communicate nobody else understands

I've always like an errorink that still fights while they're dating.

some errorink rambles :

their jobs are their jobs, and they'll beat each other senseless during their jobs, but they still love each other. jobs =/= their love. a nd there's also just something intimate about fighting with all your strength with someone you love and trust. They know they can use their full strength on the other because they're both STRONG and they trust each other to know when enough is enough.

also one of my biggest errorink pet peeves is like. when they give up their jobs for each other???

ink needs his job to survive. and the idea of one having the other give up something so important (their defining trait) just for the other doesn't feel right. i think error and ink would try to convince the other to give up their job, but they both know the other would never. there's also the fact like, how they met was through their jobs, and they want to give up how they met???? LMAO okay if anyone actually read this hope you enjoyed, i love errorink sm <3

I've been thinking about what the exact dosage cycle of Ink's vials is, so let me infodump my interpretation here :3

-It's said in the FAQ and in certain #inkechos posts that he drinks a >little bit< of each vials in order to find a balance between all of the colors that act in his body at the same time. Based on this, i would theorize that he needs to take them in every 4/6/8 hours (putting in mind how the dosage needs to be a divisor of 24, since it needs to complete a whole day cycle). I'm leaning more towards to a 6 hour cycle because he doesn't have much paint in his body at the same time, so, theoretically speaking, that would cause the effects to not last for long.

Let's say his vials are able to hold 60 ml of paint in each bottle (480 ml in total). That means Ink would need to take a dose range of 7,5 ml of each (8 in total) bottles in every 6 hours. (7,5 times 8 equals 60)

I choose a dose of 7.5 ml because it's the equilavent of 12.5%, which results in 100% when multiplied eight times. But that would also mean he needs to take them 4 times a day and four times 60 equals a daily dose of 240 ml, and that means his vials only last in a period of 2 days.

(this is actually based on how i balance my meds lol)
