Friendly reminder with Moon Knight coming out tomorrow;
While the cast have come forward to say they tried their best to portray this disorder, they still probably won’t get it completely. And that’s ok, because at least it’ll be better representation than anything else we’ve had (hopefully).
What won’t be ok is if any of you singlets out there start treating it like its not something that seriously affects a lot of people or if you start infantilizing one of the alters of the main character. There are so many of us systems out here who really want to enjoy this show but if a bunch of you non-systems decide to take this disorder and not do any proper research on it before talking about it you could be ruining so many of our experiences with this show. So please, just remember this show is portraying an actual disorder many people have and regardless of if you think you’re spreading good information or not always double check your facts with someone who actually has the disorder.

Hey uh singlets maybe don't tag your random moon knight posts with DID-
just a kind reminder to please be kind to the people you know with gastrointestinal disorders/conditions! they're embarassing, often very painful - sometimes debilitating - and very hard to talk about without oversharing a lot more than most are comfortable with.
if someone you know:
- spends a lot/long time in the restroom
- has a colostomy bag
- requires diapers or similar implements
- experiences a lot of gas and/or bloating
- requires tube feeding or other alternative methods of nutrition
- has food restrictions (e.g. cannot handle a lot of spices, certain proteins, etc.)
- eats a lot, or only a little
or other similar factors of their life...
please be patient and understanding, it's hard having guts that really like disagreeing with you!
im going to ask steven out after we get out of school today. debating on if ill get him a tea or coffee. probably a tea. i hope he says yes.
i really like him. hes so smart and kind. and he always gives the best hugs and im scared to lose him.

I finished the fucking gay fucking pirate show and I'm not fucking coping
alright, now that moon knight is out, this is your reminder to actually listen to people with DID when they talk about the show
Alright! So now that Moon Knight episode one is out I’d like to talk about it!
So first off! I thought that it was actually incredibly well written and portrayed D.I.D. almost perfectly. It showcased a lot of the issues most of us deal with (the waking up somewhere else, the sleep issues in general, the paranoia, the awkwardness of not knowing whats going on so you cant tell people whats wrong and such, and the just general questioning of reality). It was honestly extremely similar for us when we first started discovering the system and stuff.
So yea! I definitely liked it and am really excited to see where the rest of it goes!
But! I’ve already seen some posts and stuff about Steven and I want you all to remember that Steven is a grown man. While yes he may be confused and not know what’s going on do not treat him like some poor thing that needs to be protected at all costs. He’s just trying to live his life while slowly discovering the other alters in the system!
I would also like to mention please please please don’t refer to the alters as personalities! Personalities is a term originating from when D.I.D. used to be called Multiple Personality Disorder. The name for the disorder was changed because of new research and the fact that we are not personalities!!! Alters are their own people and you should not refer to them as personalities!!!
