(an ace safe space)

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.

Hello, I hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy.🙏 Please read my message with your heart❤️ my family is in a very tragic situation and they need your support😞 Bombs and death are all around them their tents are flooded with rainwater, and they are without a shilter, our innocent children don't have winter clothes or a thick blanket that gives their small bodies warmth, they get sick and have no treatment. They are hungry but they dont find food, my father is now very sick he has food poisoning by drinking contaminated water, and because their tents lacke hygiene. a little help from you can mean a lot for my family. They just want to live in safety and peace. Thank you 🙏 vetted ✅

Anx and Duck in a School AU!!!!

Duck Sans (aka ADHD sans) is made by gudulle_Vinyls on tik tok

Friendly remider: this doesn't have to be a direct representation of Anxiety and ADHD. I just thought that this situation I have experienced at school fits their character and I just wanted to express it through them...

So I hope you enjoy :D

hey quick test, reblog or like this if you DONT think neopronouns are stupid im trying to prove a point to my sister and her partner

for context my sister is a binary trans lesbian dating a genderfluid lesbian and today she came up to me saying that her and her partner as two trans people have both decided neopronouns are stupid

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

speaking of sitting on the floor eating chips, draw ink doing that

Question!

What's your headcanons for the coolest skeleton?

Your whole blog is mostly papyrus stuff

So I'd like to think you have some headcanons for the bonehead

Have a nice day! (I don't know how to end this blog)

I usually try to stick more to canon so none of my headcanons are really that interesting, but I did get to draw more papyrus, so that’s something!

Thank you for your curiosity!
