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!
in all of my like six moves this past year this is the first one im actually packing by myself and man why did everyone pack my shit so terribly the last few times
ive eliminated so many boxes already
i can fit so much more in my boxes that what people were putting in like damn
why is it that so many people equate having sex to being a good relationship? like we have sexual trauma and are also asexual, and for the first time in three years have decided to actually respect ourselves and not give into to the idea that you need to have sex to be happy and we feel so much better about ourselves because of this.
and yet anyone irl were interested in just expects it to be a thing. and refuses to be partners until we have sex with them. i just want to be loved. why tf do i have to have sex to be loved? it doesnt make any sense
"Inshallah he will OD soon" fucking sent me
hi? uhhh im just really bored so here i am?
hi im liu (or L.W.). my existance is kind of a big trigger for the system as a whole but im slowly working through that (i can say my first name now!) and i think im doing pretty well at it
i have this nice little scarf i found in the closet, its grey and dark ggrey with little green stripes in between the other stripes. i havent taken it off since i got frontstuck a few days ago. it reminds me of my scarf
sully and i are still only one person flitting between the two of us but tim thinks the same thing that happened with jay and skully will eventually happen to us (they split into two seperate alters) so that could be interesting
ive made a few friends from source and stuff its pretty nice to talk to people i know! i only really know about two of the irl friends we have because they were around before i went dormant. i hope i get un frontstuck soon and maybe i can make some more friends? thatd be cool.

working in the hospital as a patient companion is simultaneously the easiest and hardest job we've ever done
its the healthiest job we've had; doesn't affect our disabilities much since we're really just sitting for the day and aren't expected to do any heavy lifting or anything
but it also definitely has an affect on the way we think about things and its such an interesting experience
alright, now that moon knight is out, this is your reminder to actually listen to people with DID when they talk about the show
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.

yea exactly its shaped your identity. its a defining characteristic of your identity but ptsd is not just an identity like being trans or gay is.
why tf do endos treat being a system like its an identity that you can pick and choose to label? why do they constantly push the transphobic rhetoric of using "traumascum" to refer to traumatized individuals that just dont want people to treat their symptoms like its fun?
being plural/being a system is nothing like being lgbtq+ and i really think we need to stop treating it as such
yes we are a community, but this community is one formed on the basis of being traumatized as kids, its not based on something we choose to refer to ourselves as
we need to be there to support each other but not blindly. we need to help spread information to others with the symptoms so they can receive help.
you wouldnt treat people with personality disorders the way you treat systems so why is it acceptable to treat systems this way?
[This user thinks werewolves are cool.]
Narcissistic culture is not understanding why people care that a celebrity died. Bitch, that’s a stranger, how are you so upset right now?
