Aster Best Fucking Guy In The Multiverse

Brilliant.

Y'all, reblog the fuck out of the pro Palestine posts there's a reason I reblog them before going to sleep.

Uh, Alphys AU :D she is open for asks i think

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.

Palestine will be free. Please help how you can: here's a masterpost. Thank you so much to @/sulfurcosmos for keeping it updated.

If you are on the side of Israel I want you to reflect yourself. Why is Netanyahu doing this? I know your history. Jews did not have a place to call home, but is taking someone elses home really the answer?

Take a look at yourself and why everyone hates Israel so much. If I can do it for my own country so can you.

Ask yourself why does the IDF (Israel Defense Force) use white phosphorous, a weapon that burns from skin to bone.

Why do they keep the occupation and Israeli settlers around the land that does not belong to them?

Why do people who live in Israel are REQUIRED to join IDF. The army. As Israel is using their citiziens as meat shields. Friends in IDF have fought and died- and for what? Stealing peoples land? Killing citizens?

The ones who dictate what 'warcrime' is, are the winners of war.

Also for the ones who are spreading awareness, don't give up! You are doing great!

Don't give in to the face of despair, people who've been doing this since 1948 to 2023 should feel proud that they are fighting for the right thing. Even if it's small. Even if you start JUST NOW. You are doing what most people would never do.

There are still people who refuse to educate themselves.

There are still people who think that peoples lives are political.

My country had done at least 4 genocides (Papua, Maluku, Timor Leste, and the 1965s genocide) and no one spoke of it. No one heard of it.

Because all of us are censored, we are not allowed to criticise politicians. And if we do people ignore it. I was born in a culture of fear of saying the wrong thing.

Do you understand? YOU have the power to do the right thing. YOU are using your voice for the right thing. You are calling out war crimes when you see one. Something like this I would never even believe to see in my life time for other countries! So do NOT give up!

If no one speaks about Palestine then what hope do I get for my country?

For Palestenians, Papuans or anyone who is in war I LOVE YOU. I hope you stay warm, I hope you and your family have enough food. I hope you recieve any donations. You have the right to be angry, scared, you deserve freedom. The world. You deserve your land to not be taken by murderous politicians.

For Timorese, Moluccas and people who have died in Palestine vs Israel war, or any kind of conflict. I am sorry. May you rest in peace. People will fight for the ones who live. Your death will not be in vain.

Thanks for taking your time reading through all this.

ALPHYS! You're the skrunkly

She is very happy
