Plural culture is daylight savings giving you a heart attack when you're getting ready for work and check the clock, because losing a whole hour is normal your first thought was "fuck someone wasted an hour and now I'm late" and not "oh daylight savings"

I should be finishing requests right now but here I am, reblogging this. But honestly, so real.

sometimes DID is screaming crying hellish agony and sometimes it’s trying to figure out WHO THE FUCK DOWNLOADED 117 PICTURES OF SHARKS ON OUR PHONE

stop saying "the future is plural."

start saying "the future is accepting of plurals."

endogenic plurality does not exist. to be plural, you have to have experienced trauma. the DSM V does, in fact, say trauma is required. (edited note: yes we know this isnt the dsm v, fuck off, we addressed this already so stop whining and grasping a straws trying to find every reason why youre valid when you arent. sincerely, fukase)

edit: these are the first two pages. literally the first thing you see when you look up "DSM V did." if you still deny it, you're a straight up idiot and ableist. 2spirit and spiritual plurality is different. they don't claim to be a system, they claim to be plural/multiple, which is true.

but outside of closed spiritual practices and trauma, you cannot be plural and never ever will be. fuck right off if you think endos are valid cus they aren't.

edit 2: oh my god yall if you dont like it then just ✨dont engage✨ mk mori just wanted to get their frustration out. consider this a vent post and just move your ass right along. also, fuck off sophie in wonderland you disgust us all collectively. -@its-fuckase

edit 3: LITERALLY FUCK OFF OMFG. Mori was regressed and couldn't tell it wasnt the DSM V. Even if it was, we have SEVERE LEARNING AND READING DISABILITIES and had to use reading mode. Which meant as we were reading we couldn't look at the URL. Anyway, one mistake doesnt discount the fact that this is a MEDICAL SOURCE and it certainly as fuck doesn't give you the right to exist. Stop bitching and moaning about invading spaces when thats the primary reasons endos exist and those tags should rightfully belong to REAL systems, btw. Mori prolly did that for reach because it HAD TO BE SAID. Fuck you all. You're all nothing. -Fukase

System Mapping

Hello,

Recently I had a great call on Discord where I loosely gave some tips for system mapping. here's a more organized summary:

System mapping can be done in many different mediums. I prefer art, where i represent each alter with a circle and use arrows with words to signify how alters feel in relation to eachother. one of our alters system maps using friendship bracelets, another painted a mask. you can make a powerpoint, journal, really any medium. generally art and abstract system mapping can be less triggering than written system mapping.

as an alter i usually recommend that each alter make their own system maps and make new ones as time goes on. its important to note your perception of yourself and other alters so that you can notice and identify differences and misunderstandings. you can take it a step further and note anything that makes you feel distant or averse to that part, as noting things like that down can be discussed in therapy to help encourage understanding and empathy

writing and/or artistically portraying that you arent aware of an alter or your system is still very useful for yourself and for your therapist!

generally, i feel its very important to honestly portay/note down your personal understanding of the system as an alter without outside input from friends or from other alters, and you should allow your alters to do the same as this can help fill in the gaps and encourage genuine opinions, feelings and thoughts. each alter creating their own system map with their own opinions gives you and your treatment team an understanding of what everyone knows and doesnt know. some of my alters however dont agree with this perspective and prefer to map via including information from other alters as they see a combined perspective in their personal map to be important. if thats you, then thats fine! whats important is not forcing your perspective onto another alter or modifying their map without their consent

System mapping regardless of what medium you use is a very triggering process especially early on. please approach with caution and do not attempt to do it if you feel triggered. this isnt something you have to do alone, you can work on it with your therapist or with a trusted friend.

sometimes, alters will express perceptions and opinions that you dont agree with or that you find to be uncomfortable. this is good, because it means they are being honest and it also means you can bring up this conflict in therapy. hindering their map will only distance you further from them. its important that every alter has the right to exist and express themselves even if you dont like it.

since art is my primary medium, i prefer to communicate alters through shapes, sizes, complexity, colors, etc. you dont have to use words, but it is unfortunately true that the meaning of abstract portrayals can be lost to time due to the nature of CDDs

What my powerpoint consists of - All diagnosed mental health disorders, how those disorders affect different alters, what episodes relating to those mental health issues looks like for individual alters, all unhealthy coping mechanisms and which alters engage in them, alters primary roles/jobs and how they identify, any personal issues they may have whether its episodes or just general issues, and fun facts. Information I'd like to include in a future remake: how alters feel about themselves and other alters, the specific time frames alters percieve/the trauma they carry, where alters primarily front, known triggers. I personally reserve my powerpoint for professionals, my partner, and trusted friends. this level of detail is highly triggering and not necessary for system mapping but it is an option if you are able to do it.

other discussed ideas for system mapping/ones i can think of right now: Visual novel, coding, making figurines, knitting/crochet, creating a literal map, collages, pinterest boards, playlists, using objects to represent alters, word clouds, friendship bracelets, masks, videos, voice memos

and that's all i can remember right now! please let me know how you personally map out your system and if theres anything youd do differently <3

I dont feel like fixing formatting errors because tired I hope this is helpful

i really really don't think it's healthy to call your body "the body". It's just going to strengthen your dissociative symptoms. It's not "the" body, it's YOUR body. Even if it doesn't feel like it belongs to you, even if you don't identify with it, it is still yours.

Every time I see more than 10 notifs when I open tumblr I always get scared that I was exposed for saying 27 different slurs, running over homeless kids, and not paying my taxes and now I'm getting spammed with hate comments

[madpunks]

we are so ableist about memory. people with good memory take for granted the fact that they can recall as much as they can, and use that to taunt, guilt and threaten people with memory issues. many neurotypes and mental illnesses cause memory lapses. traumatic brain injuries can cause memory lapses. brain cancer can cause memory lapses.

even if your memory is good, it's not right to guilt someone because they can't remember something. trust me, people with memory problems are desperately trying to remember: it's just that we literally can't. it is a very literal "i can't remember".

This is meant to be light hearted and silly, adding this since people will always find a way to take it wrong 💔

Just read The Strange Case of Harley and Harleen and my god I needed a little bit of positive plurality in my life this week.

The way Pam and Harl's relationship adapts to accept the Harley/Harleen split makes my heart swell.

The way Pam sees the difference between her girlfriends.

And assures her that she accepts and loves all sides of her.

And does what she can to accommodate Harleen's memory holes.

The core relationship of this book is just so sweet and positive in accepting things as they are without judgment or pushing. Just acceptance and love.

And after finding that in our own life, I know what a powerfully positive thing it can be.

But the Harley/Harleen relationship is well handled too. There's friction and denial at the start but the two develop and trust one another by the end and Harley takes a seat as my favorite kind of character, the morally ambiguous protector.

I love the way Harley's protectiveness of Harleen is depicted and how she tries so hard to keep her from interacting with the criminal underworld of Gotham.

It's just saccharine and kind.

Highly recommend the book to anyone who just wants soft and kind plurality vibes. Heaven knows the majority of the fiction involving split personalities are flooded with angst and darkness and though this book contains a few dark plot beats like DV it never feels painful or sorrow inducing.

I'm so happy I read it.

sys culture is giving up on differentiating alters. We're all parts of the same person and I'm sooo tired of figuring out which part that I'm done w it. I'm literally just person soup thank you

I stole a fictional character's identity. It's sort of like my brain saw a character and instead of making a copy, I'm just a little fucked up interpretation of that character. We're very much the same person but also too different, like AU versions of a character or a kinsona. If that makes sense??

Shout out to headmates who are sourced but aren't introjects!

This could mean kin identities or even just deciding that you are/look like/are sourced from a thing you like now, just because you said so!

Maybe you are an introject and decided to have another source.★
