The One Thing I Don’t Like Seeing From Endos Is Some Of Them Saying “your Trauma Makes Your Privileged!

Here’s my metaphor for systemhood that I tell my singlet friends.

Imagine you’re playing a first person video game. You have the controller, you control your character. It’s a normal first person game. You are an alter, the character is the body. This is fronting.

Other people live with you. Sometimes, they come into the room and sit and watch while you play. They sometimes try to guide you, give you advice on what to do next. They don’t always agree, and they can argue with each other. Other times they scream at you that you’re doing everything wrong and you suck at this game. This is co-consciousness.

Imagine how distracting it would be for people around you to tell you what to do, or to scream at each other or at you, even if they have good intentions. It wouldn’t be easy to focus on your game, would it?

Then sometimes, something happens in the game that prompts you to hand off the controller to someone else so they can play and you get a break. This is (some types of) switching. This can be good.

Other times, someone rips the controller out of your hand or fights you for it. This is (other types of) switching. And sometimes, six other players hook up their controllers, but there’s only one character to play as. So all of you have your controllers, but you’re all trying to play the same character. This is cofronting.

Imagine how difficult that would be. Imagine how hard it would be to try and play a game while someone is trying to take the controller from you, or while six other people are trying to play too.

There are also times that nobody is playing, or you can’t decide who should play. What’s happening to the character in the game? What are they doing if no one is playing? This is dissociation. The character is doing nothing. They’re stuck.

This is the best metaphor I have come up with for being a system. It’s something a lot of people get because they’ve played games before.

@entities-of-posts it's pretty obvious imo

trying to get a friend into metal but I wanted to make sure he had all the context, so we're on rock right now and if things go well he might have copper soon. but it's not looking good.

the exact description of book 1 ford

He was as tall as he was tall, and his eyes were the color they were. To describe his hair one would say that he had some. His face had all the features you'd expect, and none of the ones you wouldn't. "There he is," people would often say of him, but only when he was there. And they were right.

Being plural isn’t equal to being transgender. Endos do not exist.

There are OSDDID systems in endogenic communities being gaslit into believing that they haven’t experienced “severe enough trauma” for their mind to fragment to survive.

Endos and non-traumagenic systems are not a healthy community to be a part of and cause more harm than good.

Friendly reminder that if you support endos and non-traumagenic systems, you are not welcome on my blog.

You’re causing harm to people.

And AspenFrostEN fans are not welcome here. No one deserves to be harassed or threatened because your little hive mind said it was okay. It is not okay to call anyone slurs or use mental illnesses as a means of mocking someone. You’re not welcome here either.

Aspen fans harm the anti-endo community as well and make it a harmful place even for anti-endos.

You are not saints but rather the wolf in the clothing of the sheep, not protecting the herd but killing it.

You are also causing harm to people.

idk. fish

homophobes are not allowed to use computers because the inventor of the computer was gay

Cuttlefish can change color to fade into the background. It can do it amazingly fast.

@entities-of-posts The Bazinga (i don't need to spell it out)

I’m watching The Big Bang Theory in its natural setting—playing in the background of a hot spiral room—and I can say within that specific context, it is a very charming show. Like the saltine crackers of media.
