yes absolutely. a lot of it is subtle like our general affect over text, our vocabulary choice, how wordy we are, etc. there are a few distinct "quirks" some of us have like when we send heart emojis and which emojis we send. for example, I use hearts a lot (practically every message) but primarily use 💕 and 💖. the host uses hearts but almost exclusively 💕. Ciel uses 💙 because his favorite color is blue. me and Ciel both tend to use larger words than other alters. Ciel cares more about perfecting grammar, I do not, the host does not.

we make different grammar mistakes? we have mild cognitive impairment so we often struggle with grammar collectively. it takes a lot of correcting from us to get things in a place where they're clear and understandable. all of us do some editing. the host mostly struggles with word and phrase order. he tends to put phrases and clauses "out of order"; I do the same but to a lesser degree. I'm not sure what Ciel's grammar struggles are because he goes to great extents to hide them. I'm sure they still poke through and I just don't notice, but he puts distinctly more effort in. the host loves run on sentences. he has been trying to correct this but often an entire paragraph will be one sentence. I trend towards this but am better at correcting it.

I love semicolons 💖 almost no one else uses them because they think it makes them seem pretentious.

the number of pronouns we use varies. some of us cut out pronouns in short messages, or use them minimally. some of us are particular about always using appropriate pronouns.

then of course there are all the subtle differences that are expressions of our personalities. it's hard to explain those because it's not just one thing anyone can point to.

question 69: would you say any of you have different typing styles and/or make different choices about whicj words to use and how to phrase things? or is it mostly the same?

my brain really wants to put the fact that I got stitches into the "forget" box

*someone likes my several posts about stitches* stitches?? I got stitches????

*I look down at my bandaged arm* stitches?? I got stitches????

I don't remember until I'm reminded and this happened last night. it was a very uncomfortable process and I didn't like any of it so my brain just went "nope! you don't need that! say goodbye to those memories!"

You know that you don’t have to stay as an empty shell. You can be your own person. You can be beautiful.

my system has been stabling out a lot lately. I'm in an IOP program and in the process I've also found a lot of coping strategies for the negative parts of my DID. I've started dealing with the intense dissociation by catching my emotions before they reach a crisis point.

mindfulness has been hugely helpful for me

I feel more in touch with my emotions. it's not perfect but !! I'm noticing when my emotions are getting to a 5 or 6 instead of noticing only when they're at an 8 to 10. it's dramatically cut down on some of my intensely unhealthy coping mechanisms. I get intensely dissociative past a 5 so I've been dissociating much less. even when I do dissociate I have successfully been using skills (mainly TIPP & self soothe with 4 senses- usually 5 but 🧏🧏) to help bring me back to the world.

caught you containing multitudes bro lmao i love every glittering facet

Normalize not having to pick a fucking side in syscourse. Normalize being able to exist on the internet as a system or with a CDD without having to constantly answer questions and take stances on syscourse. There is more to being a system than syscourse. You don't have to pick a side and you can block anyone who makes you. You don't have to give a shit about whether or not you can be a system without trauma, you can just exist

DO NOT TAG WITH SYSCOURSE TAGS (eg. anti endo, pro endo, etc)

me, already very triggered: what if I read to train a child?

*6 pages in*

another, more self-preserving part: nope! you're not doing that! I'm taking over now

Just noticed a trend in which anti-endos are using "people with CDDs" when they actually mean anti-endos.

They're spouting hateful things towards endogenic and other system origins but use "people with CDDs" to talk about themselves.

Excuse me not all of us agree with your bullshit, that's how endogenic systems end up attacking pro-endos. How about being specific about who you're talking about?

But wait, anti-endos don't actually care about people with CDDs because they hate and exclude pro-endos who have them.

This is just something I thought about.

No you do not have permission to argue this. Arguing/reblogging to be hateful will be blocked.

Can endos and pro endos that are bodily 18+ interact? We need mutuals.

Of course, please read our pinned post, first!!!

dissociation/avoidance really is like "if I felt everything I felt, I would be devastated. good thing i dont"
