why is the best DID representation in media always accidental. the moment they try to do it on purpose its just the evil alter trope again but the moment theyre not trying its like wow. how did you manage to get that accurate accidentally?
Thumbs up emoji. Alright. *bursts into tears*

Made a spruce pun and died to a creep immediately after let’s go
Random headcanon: Eddie is deaf/HoH and prefers to communicate with sign language! As a result, Sausage is also fluent in it :D
The show genuinely made me realize I’m part of a system. Absolutely wonderful.
I love Oscar Issac so much this man is literally incredible
You can seriously tell he did his research on DID from the way he mentions books he’s read, he made sure to say alters and not “personalities” and like, idk man, he’s so passionate and caring about the subject it’s so nice to see.
I’m so happy this show worked so hard to properly and appropriately represent DID and I’m even happier seeing several systems talk about how much they enjoyed the show because of that. It’s just so nice.
Image limit is fighting me so I'm going to reblog this with all of them y'all check back in a bit when I'm actually done tyvm
@drifterslittlemuffin asked but I figure while I'm at it why not make some for everyone
If y'all have ideas while I'm at it lmk
In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…
And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…
Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.
He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.
They said that Bookworm has no powers, but I don’t… believe that. Not necessarily. I think something more behind the scenes is getting set up here.
Especially with him stealing that book of demons.
Long post that could be entirely off the rails, so disregard this addendum you like the first part better
There’s two scenarios that I’m playing out here, I could be totally off, but hear me out a moment.
First, and probably the most unlikely, Bookworm is dealing with a chaos demon first hand. So either there’s a physical demon trying to get him or one of his friends is dealing with one.
Bookworm wanted to fight the side plot demon on his own and so is now studying them, or even how to control them. Maybe even he found a book like ashe’s and is trying to understand it more. It’s a fun storyline that ends with pd going to rescue him after getting in over his head and they go out for pizza. Bookworm might get some magic powers and the boys have memories about Ashe.
Second concept is that Lightspeed told him what happened to Wordsmith.
And she can’t stop herself from telling him everything. It’s justified, because, he deserves to know, right?
Wordsmith brought him on missions for a reason, he’s practically a hero, he should be given the same information the heros got.
But he’s not a hero, he’s a kid. A kid who has seen horrors and creatures and now is being told demons are real and one of them hurt his uncle.
Bookworm has the intelligence of William, the tenacity of Dakota, and the street smarts/common sense of Vyncent. He was able to sneak out of his house, traverse how many miles he needed to in order to get a book. He’s also a fucking kid. I can’t stress how much he shouldn’t be in this situation.
But like I said he’s smart. He knows people and their powers, and can recognize those powers and what they can do. He called out William, immediately knowing the ghost shaping, and William isn’t even a major hero. Bookworm knew all of their powers by heart. If in the future he gets into any tactical strategic position, I could see him thriving.
And I kinda think that’s where I think it’s gonna go. Bookworm is angry, he’s smart, and I really hope he’s smart enough to know not to go into this alone. I think, and heres where I go off the rails, but I think Bookworm is going to get a group of friends, maybe friends still figuring out their powers. He’s gonna help them train, like his uncle helped him, like he watched Lightspeed and Archangel do. And once Bookworm and his friends are ready they’re gonna try and get revenge for his uncle
Or he could make a deal with a devil for his uncle to come back.
That’s an option too

Just in case any of you are confused, TikTok being banned and coming back not even 24 hours later with a giant "we thank President Trump" message is NOT a win. It's a huge red flag and a sign that this was a thousand percent planned.
