ok since some of you idiots who enjoy watching Moon Knight don’t understand shit I’m going to explain it.
(*Moon Knight Ep 5 Spoilers towards the end*)
First off, Marc, Steven, and Jake are part of a system. Because of the childhood trauma they faced in childhood they developed Dissociative Identity Disorder.
Which means that because of the constant pressure and traumatic events happening to them their psyche fracture. Marc, Steven, and Jake are all fragments of one collective.
Secondly, Marc did NOT “create” Steven. The brain split both Steven and Marc to do seperate tasks. Marc to hold traumatic memories and protect the others. And Steven to keep them going, keep their area clean, keep them healthy.
Thirdly, they are all seperate people, they have different thought processes, different emotions, and different reactions, but they CANNOT exist by themselves. They need each other to be able to get through life. The creators of the show have had several professionals and people with the disorder talk to them about this stuff and how to portray it well.
That means they are aware that Marc didn’t create Steven and that they can’t exist without each other. So no they won’t stay seperate even if Steven has supposedly died and become sand and Marc is in the field of reeds.
Now stop for the love of fucking god calling them personalities, they’re alters, and stop calling Marc the original, THERE IS NO ORIGINAL WHEN YOU HAVE THIS DISORDER!
i definitely dont mean a dissociative disorder specialist. i just mean a normal therapist. because even tho you might not have headmates as the result of trauma its still a neurodivergency and getting help with figuring the best way of working with your neurodivergency and figuring out and getting the accomodations you need in day to day life should be a priority for anyone.
gonna be so real
i think the only issue i really have with endogenic systems is that most are not willing to see a therapist or get professional help and theyre not willing to face the idea that they may actually have trauma or another mental health issue causing their system symptoms
i have the same issue with self diagnosed traumagenic systems that discount anything their therapists say if they bring up any other disorder first before DID/OSDD
like yall
for your health and wellbeing please be open to other options andnplease seek professional help to help navigate this stuff
like you wouldnt be like yea i have ehler danlos syndrome and not seek professional help because youre scared it could be an autoimmune disorder instead
“an anonymous introject from the show”
marc literally shut the fuck up and just sign your name
-jake
i literally thought that when marc and steven revived one another through their love and hugged each other, marc was going in for a kiss. i watched his motherfucking neck crane and i was like, oh god. it’s gonna happen. they’re gonna do it. arguably i got something even better!
moving home to find out that my brother has fallen into the classic white boy in high school joins jrotc and boyscouts and suddenly starts making ableist and nazi like comments was not on my bucket list this year
like damn i just got screamed at anf told i was overreacting for trying to explain why he shouldnt be a nazi apologist
Alright a conversation with my friend has led us to a dilemma so:
the peak of my art career
feel free to ignore this
im just having a bad morning pain wise
i realized that i cant actually ever have a normal life anymore. i woke up after playing skee ball at an arcade with a pulled muscle in my shoulder that hurts so much i cant move it. and i made the realization that because of my chronic pain i can never go out and just live my life. i cant even play my instrument or draw without some part of me hurting and it just really sucks. like how am i supposed to make myself feel better when i cant do any of the things to make myself feel better because it hurts too much.
