I Just Saw Some People On TikTok Saying That Steven Don’t Have A Hard Life …

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

was crocheting ourselves a hat but then i bleached my hair and now suddenly i dont remember how to crochet

hate this disorder sm

This is a reminder to:

Never mention a possible pregnancy/abortion to anyone, especially not through a social media app messaging service such as messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, Snapchat, etc.

Delete all period tracking apps and to start tracking using a planner or physical calendar

Book appointments for a form of birth control if possible, or to always carry condoms for yourself and other

Look into sterilization options if that is the route you want to go down (here is a list of 1000 doctors willing to sterilize you without a fight)

Protect your fellow person, protect the women in your life, the queer people, the disabled people, everyone will be affected by this

Form communities. Tell your people that you love them. Protect one another. Check in on one another. None of us are alone.

all this to say im excited for the next movie already damn it

not excited for if we split anymore descendants introjects tho thats for sure

Something I really loved about episode two of Moon Knight was that when Arthur called Steven broken, he immediately defended himself and said "I'm not broken, I just need some help". Really loved that little message Marvel threw in that people with mental illnesses are not broken and they just need help.

steven: i’m crushing on someone, but i’m kinda scared to tell you who.

marc: just rip the bandaid off.

steven: it’s layla.

marc: put the bandaid back on.
