“love Can Hit You Like A Semi Truck So Hit Your Love Back”

The main things we’ve gotten from the DID/OSDD community’s reaction and responses to the first Moon Knight episode is:

Accurate representation does not always equal representation that improves the public’s view/reduces stigma

Dramatic, dark, and morally complicated characters and stories involving DID can be accurate/not improbable but still negatively influence public opinion. This does not inherently make them bad rep; the audience is just entirely wrong at this time for the story

Accurate/probable depiction of specific symptoms can be done, but they might not represent the majority (like the “surrender the body” bits. That sounds exactly like our gatekeeper when someone has a stranglehold on the front, and making sure someone is letting go on their own will maintain and build trust. This isn’t the norm per say but it’s far from impossible)

At this time, the general non informed public cannot be relied upon to be able to separate dramatized representations of symptoms and their more toned down, real life counterparts. Because of this, making sure symptoms are not dramatized unnecessarily is important, so people can learn to tell the difference

Yo moonknight fans, especially fellow singlets

LISTEN TO SYSTEMS PLEASE

STEVEN AND MARC ARE NOT VERSIONS OF EACH OTHER. THEYRE SEPARATE PEOPLE. istg some of yall folk are so dense. And it ain't selfcest to ship them either. Again, separate folk and alters can have relationships within systems. So many systems here have said that but yall refuse to listen

sometimes we want to find sourcemates for no other reason than to send memes to

like me (stiles), jason (todd) and tim (drake) really be out here like gimme someone to send fuckin memes to and laugh about source jokes

friendly reminder RAMCOA is real and exists. there are plenty of systems out there who have suffered this abuse and live their lives with the consequences.

i just think people need to remember them sometimes because they deserve to be acknowledged and feel seen too.

Please stop posting in the plural/plurality tags. They were made with endogenic systems in mind, and are pro-endo. We have our space and you have yours.

The only posts I tag with the plurality tags are ones that I want to discuss with endogenic systems. Like I'm not posting my anti-endo posts in that tag because im aware that its a pro-endo tag, im posting my endo neutral posts there because i want responses and want to learn more.

Steven: We should get a pet spider.

Marc: You get a spider and I’ll fucking burn the apartment down.

Steven: That’s a little excessive, don’t you think?

Marc: You’re right. I wouldn’t. Jake would. He hates anything that crawls.

my not boyfriend and i share a hyperfixation on cult and secret society related medias and talk about it and watch shows and movies related to it

without fail that means the jokes about our cult related trauma happens and then of course we keep wondering which cult it was

and without fail as soon as we start looking into it we blackout and this is the funniest cycle were in rn caus damn i just want to know so i can make even more jokes

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.

Our ex: You just need to learn how to take responsibility for doing stuff.

Luca, Cirrus?, and Evan: *apologizes repeatedly for getting upset about stuff*

Our ex: I just don’t know why you never apologize.

Sully: 🧍are you fucking with me rn? You never apologized for cheating on us? We have done nothing but apologize to you.

Our ex: Just take accountability for your actions.

H and Sully: Bro??? We did????

this year was just nto the year for love for us i dont think.

we started off by getting broken up with by our longterm (four year) partner

then ghosted by our other partner

then was pulled along by a friend who almost seemed to like us

and now weve been broken up with by our year long partner

im kind of just unfeeling about it now, like ive gone through so much outside the realm of love recently and this breakup is just sort of an addition to the growing pile of things i have to eventually deal with. it does help a bit that we have so many friends that we just didnt really talk to much anymore because we didnt see the need to. we saw our future in black and white. wed get through college, get married, move in together, and grow old. i didnt see the need to have any friends included in that outside of my partner’s friends. but now im kind of realizing that that was just the black and white thinking of my autism, i still am human, i still need friends, and now that im losing several because its very likely they wont talk to me anymore now that our fiancé broke it off, i need them more than ever. and so i messaged a few of my older ones, ones that i havent talked to in months, ones that before my fiancé i thought of as my closest most reliable friends and it really cheered me up. hearing them call me bestie and go crazy as i told them whats happened, about me graduating, about me getting a job, about me going to college, and about me getting my diagnosises. and it really made me realize that if someone isnt willing to put in effort to help a relationship grow properly then i shouldnt be expected to either. i guess my fiancé was right about that part, i did put a lot of effort into our relationship and they didnt. i wish they had so we couldve avoided this mess but truly im almost glad now because i would have missed out on realizing that so many people care about me and really would hate it if i just disappeared off the earth. like all these people would miss me so dearly and thats helping me really think through so many of my issues right not. a lot of my stress related to thinking i wasnt good enough or that i wasnt trying to be what they wanted me to be is just sort of gone because these people are my people and they know me for me. these people ive started talking to again have known me for almost as long as the system was known. and im glad to see that i dont have to hide certain parts of myself or pretend to be someone else around them. -sully

{disclaimer: if my ex sees this, this isnt meant as something negative towards you, you tried your hardest and well always love you for that, im sorry it came to this and we really would love to at elast still be friends. this post is just us having the realization that we arent alone and were allowed to have friends outside of you and your friends}
