hi moonknight fandom

so I am a member of a did system, and I'd like to share some terms you should start using!

"fronting" it means being in control of the body, but it's much more comfortable to see as a system

"alter" different people that make up the system, like marc and steven are not two 'personalities' they are two alters

"cocon" it's when two alters from at the same time!

"DID" disociative identity disorder, do not call it 'multiple personality disorder'

thanks, you are legally obligated to reblog this if you post about the show please make this fandom a safe place for systems trying to find representation

to people writing for moonknight! /srs

hello! i am diagnosed with DID and have noticed a little bit of a trend with some fanfic writers, so i wanted to address it just to help people that are not educated about the disorder.

* i do also have schizophrenia and thought i should mention that for the section about the green goblin.

why is ‘personality’ not okay to use when referring to steven, or marc?

the only thing people tend to know about DID is what it was previously known as (multiple personality disorder) this term has since been changed, due to the inaccuracy that the term ‘personality’ has in relation to the disorder. personality is the way that you act and present yourself, to say steven and marc are personalities, or even alter egos would be inaccurate, it is not one person changing the way that they act (or changing their personality), alters in a system are different people, separate from each other, but in the same body. the term personality implies that it is one person that is consciously changing the way they act, but DID is not like that at all. the different alters can have their own personality, but they themselves are not ‘a personality’.

what can i say instead of personality?

alters is the term commonly used for the different people in systems, although there are other terms, such as headmates that some systems prefer. i personally think people should use alters when referring to steven and marc, but never personality/alter ego.

i have seen some people compare norman osborn/green goblin to steven grant and wanted to speak about that too.

norman does not have DID, i’ve tried to research and all i have found that it’s said that norman suffers from a form of schizophrenia and that the formula he created worsened that schizophrenia and brought out the green goblin. i believe the green goblin in some sort of hallucination or delusion, but i couldn’t find any canon evidence, besides a fandom wiki suggesting norman suffers from schizophrenia. schizophrenia and DID do have a lot of overlapping symptoms, so i understand the confusion, however they are both very different and should not be grouped together/compared. DID is a disorder that comes from childhood trauma, to say norman and steven experience the same thing would be incorrect. in norman’s case, the green goblin wasn’t present during his childhood, instead came around later in life, whilst what steven experiences would have been right from childhood.

trigger warnings for DID

i have seen several people put warnings for DID and frankly i see this as unnecessary and ridiculous. i personally find it incredibly dehumanising, as this disorder already has such a bad reputation due to the representation in movies such as split. there is no warning in the show for ‘mentions of DID’, the only mention of DID the show has is in the description of the show. no one that is ‘triggered’ by DID (which they shouldn’t be) would be watching the show, let alone be reading fanfiction about the show. stop putting warnings for DID on your fanfictions. it’s unnecessary and hurtful.

some extra information to help your writing

in a system, alters can have different views on people, not every single alter is going to like the same people, so keep that in mind. if there are people shipping marc and steven (although i do not ship it myself), it is not selfcest or incest at all! alters in a system can have romantic, platonic or familial relationships and it is not selfcest/incest.

my dms are open to questions, along with the comments. feel free to ask any questions and i will try my best to answer them :)

thank you for reading!

i found candles! from top left to bottom right: Matt, Foggy, Karen, Wesley

Smell HCS:

Matt: I’ve heard many people say he smells like warm things like leather, cinnamon, even smoke. I disagree( but not completely), I think he’s smells like rain, fresh laundry and leather

I feel like he might not wear cologne on a regular basis but definitely does on special occasions

(Examples: Abercrombie & Fitch-Fierce, Skylar - Salt Air, Memoire Archives- By The Sea)

Foggy: he smells very sweet, like almost a bakery but in a different way (???), or like apples maybe, something light but definitely on the sweet side. he smells very good. Wears cologne most days, but i do feel like he’d forget from time to time (Polo blue, Brûmée - Aromatic spices + jasmine)

Karen: she feels like the person to use roll on perfume for some reason. girl smells GOOD. i get like cranberry vibes with maybe a floral base and a hint of spice. or a vanilla with floral notes. Wears it everyday, applies about twice a day depending on the perfume, saves the expensive stuff for special occasions

(examples: White Tshirt (b&bw) Blissful Garden (VS) Vince Camuto- Illuminare Intensa)

Wesley: Man smells classy and amazing, i’m not super familiar with high end scents so i’m sure my examples aren’t going to be great. But he smells like money, definitely elements of leather, new car, and probably coffee. You will never catch him smelling like anything else, is he asleep? is he in a volcano? doesn’t matter

y'all brought up foggy being friends to lovers to soulmates but whatever y'all do dont think about foggy saying "When you talk to older couples who, you know, have been in love for 30 or 40 or 50 years, alright, it’s always the guy who says, ‘I knew.’ I knew. Right from the beginning…. I’m that guy. I'm that guy, I know."

Random Relationship Headcanons For Foggy and Matt:

Matt:

The type of relationship where you spend months crushing on them and trying to impress them, only to feel like it’s unrequited.

Eventually the two of you have an argument and both confess in the heat of the moment. Pretty touch and go; Matt is going to try and push you away, that’s just a fact.

Hangouts/dates consists of listening to podcasts, laying in the couch together, and the obligatory josie’s hangout.

Domestic moments: laying in bed/cuddling on the couch, soft music playing in the background, Matt running his fingers through your hair, his other hand tracing over your shoulders. Soft conversation before falling asleep.

Foggy : Very much a friends to lovers kind of thing. The more time you spend with him the harder and farther you fall. He’s known since day one. (Foggy strikes me as the kind of person to just know when he’s met someone he’s going to last with) Every little thing you do is like magic to him. I’d imagine you’d either being getting ready to go on a date w/ someone else and he’d confess or he’d be pretty full of liquid courage and accidentally let it slip.

hangouts/dates: Josie’s (obvi), karaoke, movie marathons, movie sing-a-longs, take out and a shitty horror movie.

domestic moments:

clumsy slow dancing in the kitchen, bear hugs whenever you both see each other (including the occasional hug and spin), cheek kisses, playing with each other’s hands, falling asleep on the couch with a movie on

Ok hear me out, Matt Murdock would have a FEILD DAY with a fat bodied S/O

like all the textures 😳, the rolls, the softness, the stretch marks, the cellulite. Woooo, I feel like he’d go NUTS

Just spending hours touching your skin, running his hands over your whole body, he just can’t stop touching you 🥴
