Reminder: Being a system isn't an identity or a label. It's a fucking mental disorder caused by childhood trauma. You cannot choose to be a system. you cannot transition to being a system. You cannot be a system without trauma.
We are not gatekeeping systemhood. It is quite literally the criteria and psychological process of forming a System. Systems don't require you to have a medical diagnosis, you just have to actually fit the criteria because how else the fuck do you expect yourself to be a system? Go identify with something else. Make up your OWN words. Don't fucking steal ours! And don't steal our tags and invade our safe spaces.
I...tried to make a meme and got carried away and made A Thing that is like partially unfinished because i spent like 3 hours on it and then got tired.
I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures). I am not exaggerating how bad they are for biodiversity though—recent research has referred to them as "ecological deserts."

"when people ask how you're doing, they don't really care." most of them do, actually, the amount they care is just directly proportional to how well they know you. you're just mad you can't be the main character of the Twice Daily.
Gordon Ramsay: now tell me about this
Rabbi Akiva: This reflecting pool leads to the throne room of the almighty.
Gordon: Right, right.
Rabbi Akiva: But well, without reciting the proper prayers, you go mad.
Gordon: Bloody hell. Probably trapped in the treasury of the divine forever then right?
Rabbi Akiva: that's right. But if we make it to the next chamber, we get to measure the body of the divine.
Gordon: Well fuck me. S'abit piss for all the work we done to get here innit. Fuck alright then.
Rabbi Akiva: I brought measuring tape.
I recommend you read A-SIDE first. The rest of the comic is under the read more.

I think OtH would challenge their guests to a rap off as reception entertainment.
Hey, I just want to say that recently we've been engaging with people who go against one of our core beliefs without knowing and we're sorry to any of our followers who had seen this and knew. Won't name any names and also won't start petty user discourse.
Just know that this blog aims to be a safe space for those with personality disorders, psychosis, schizophrenia, and delusions while also maintaining being CDD and physical disability centric.
While we are anti-endo, we do not support the usage of words such as "psychotic" and "delusional" to describe endos and their supporters. There are much better, less insulting and less sanist adjectives.
If in the future we're reblogging from blogs who have a history of being ableist, sanist, etc, PLEASE do not be scared to inform us. Chances are we just don't know because we try to steer clear of user discourse. We do not want to give people like this a platform on our blog.
maybe this time picking at Textures on my skin will lead to being silky smooth
one of the most important things about dissociative identity disorder and generally being a system that i wish people would understand is that it truly isn’t as cut and dry as it may seem for member count.
you’ll see people who say they have “six alters” and then immediately assume it’s six fully fleshed out equal individuals with no confusion or fuzziness regarding identity. that’s simply not true in a majority of cases, as i have seen.
most systems still VERY much deal with confusion regarding potential splits, go through dissociative episodes where they’re unsure of who they are, sometimes feel no attachment towards any identities, feel like they might have split and then suddenly that person is gone, unsure if alters they haven’t heard from often have gone dormant, not sure how to react when alters do come out of dormancy, etc.
it’s not a fun feeling and it’s genuinely unfair in certain situations to force systems to list every single alter to you with full certainty, as if it will never change. because it will. for so many different reasons, systems will grow, they will shrink, they will fuse, they will develop. you can’t expect the person with the dissociative disorder and lack of core identity to be able to keep up a perfected list of forever, it’s simply impossible. you may have alters who stick with you, but that doesn’t mean changes won’t happen.
and systems who may be reading this — please don’t feel bad. you are not a hassle, you are not a headache, and you are not an inconvenience for simply coping with something like this. it’s out of your control and the only thing you can do is continue to cope to find ways to help yourself retrain from these reactions. please don’t allow yourself to be harmed by others who don’t understand what you are going through. there are people who will accept and love you for who you are, all of you.
past, present, and future.
An informational comic I drew last year for my Comics 2 class, reposting it to my new account (had to jump ship from the old one unfortunately) with some minor grammar changes and learned my lesson in adding watermarks! Happy early pride :)
