I love music so much, I hope I'm a pair of headphones in my next life
i think the worst thing in the world is seeing two characters with something weird as hell going on between them and you think to urself "wow i love the weird as hell thing these characters have going on between them" and you open archiveofourown.org and find out everyone else thinks they would actually be in a very normal romantic relationship
me: you literally have a disorder. this is symptoms
me: no perhaps my soul is rotten
*showing visible symptoms* oh my god i need help desperately
*symptoms go away for one day* what if im just faking it
having long distance friends is so fucked. do you wanna come over to my house and play (it will cost us 1 william dollars)
i wish more of you would understand that alter roles are just common archetypes of ways that alters can present, and not definitive boxes that all of your parts MUST fit into. not every system comes with a set host, persecutor, protector, gatekeeper, etc. and the roles of host, persecutor, protector, gatekeeper, etc. (ie how they operate within your system and what they do) will look different for every system, too.
and, you don't have to know every alter's role. you don't have to immediately understand the exact intricacies over why all of your parts exist and what they're doing to be valid. trying to force your parts to fit into boxes of how they should be instead of trying to understand them as they are does way more harm than good. just saying.
I'm gonna make belated valentine's day drawings and no one can stop me
