Harvey Dent/Two Face + DID

As someone with DID, Harvey Dent/Two Face has quickly become our biggest comfort character like, ever. I’ve been thinking a LOT about his system—I know in most adaptations he’s portrayed with only two alters, Harvey and (Big Bad) Harv OR, in some portrayals, with Judge as his third alter. It’s absolutely possible to only have 2-3 alters but I believe he has more. His DID existed long before the acid attack in the courtroom (presumably since his childhood, though I don’t know much about it). But Harvey was an incredibly effective gatekeeper, as most gatekeepers are, so it wasn’t “visible” and he didn’t know. It’s just that that attack let the cat (or Harv) out of the bag. We also had a Big Trauma in adulthood that shattered the fourth wall and made it impossible to ignore our DID and that’s how I see that traumatic event for him.

One thing that intrigues me about his system is that it functions as a courtroom. Which makes sense to me outside of his obvious gimmick. Our system is set up as a family system, our headspace is a house—because our trauma happened within our family/house. But the very first time Two conceptualized his DID as a whole, it was in that courtroom (even though it existed before then) so of course the imagery stuck, especially as the roles were already so clearly filled. Harvey is the lawyer and gatekeeper, Harv is the criminal and protector, Judge is the judge and persecutor. I believe he sees his other alters as part of the jury, the ones watching and judging from a distance—which also perfectly encapsulates for us how alters function/exist when not directly at or near the front. I can very well imagine the roles that exist for other alters in his system too—witnesses, (other) defendants, the family of the accused or the victims, the bailiff, the reporter. These might be flexible roles that fragments come and go through, not as clearly defined, or they might be static the way Harvey is always the lawyer and Judge is always the judge. And it makes sense in that it allows Harvey (and the others—but this view is most important to a [former] host) to very clearly conceptualize what’s happening in the headspace in terms and visuals he intimately understands.

I also believe he has littles. I cried when I realized he probably has littles. Because even as scary and evil as most people view him, his whole system (one that imposes so much destruction upon the people of Gotham) is all just to protect and defend THEM. Harvey took to being a lawyer, DA, the hero in the light, to protect and defend Gothamites when all he actually wanted to do from the beginning was protect his littles. Harv wants to too, but he’s willing to do what needs to be done (in his mind) even when it’s awful and even when it’s not what Harvey (or Judge) would do. Clearly Harvey and Harv have different methods but they’re working towards the same goal, even if they fail to see that. I see him as having two littles—a little Harvey and a little Harv.

I could write a whole dissertation about Two’s DID experience. It’s fascinating and diving into his character has truly helped me come to terms with and even begin to love and appreciate parts of my system I didn’t see as clearly before.

Spock has literally the worlds most crazy extra as hell bedroom for absolutely no reason. The extravagant velvet drapes hanging from the ceiling, the vulcan artefacts, weapons on the walls, dramatic mood lighting and a fucking gargoyle(?) statue with it's own spot light.

And the funniest part is that only the bedroom is dramatic his living room/office space looks totally normal, and standard issued. Just imagine being Chapel and walking into your vulcan bosses' room and thinking it looks pretty normal just to look to the left into the bedroom and have it look like some kind of gothic museum collection.

Something something something…while yes the arrow kids did have other circumstances and people that helped shape them into the people and heroes they are, you cannot deny or take away ollie’s impact on them. He affected each one of them so much to the point where none of them would be who they are without him. This is not to take away from each of their individual stories and other people in their stories that also helped shape them in what they are but to acknowledge that ollie is such an important part of them. It’s so beautiful to read and the fact that anyone would change such a compelling story on how much one man can affect the lives of three separate people to anything else is beyond me…something something something

Living in a big city is kinda funny because every so often you get texts from people you know that are like "is everything alright I heard what happened" and I have to google my city name to figure out whats going on because I do not pay enough attention to notice anything

For example today my friend texted me "hey what's going on at your place?" Because apparently there's a big police operation 5min from my flat and I got to tell her I'm on my way to my parents and have no clue, like I wouldn't have just turned up my headphones and ignored everything if I stayed at home

So iirc the only thing we know that he needs to drink citrus drinks as fuel but there's no mention of anything else so it's probably blood providing lubrication in his engines as weird as it is to think about

I need to Stop thinking about it every possibility that crosses my mind is gradually getting more horrifying and all roads lead to "ok so if you don't need to mess around with the engine to add oil or anything and it's all normal blood through your body then how did y'all figure out the remove the exhaust pipes to grow faster ones somehow"

Alternde Gesellschaft:Deutschland altert - na und?

75-Jährige sind heute so fit wie früher 65-Jährige. Pro fünf gewonnene Jahre kann der Deutsche drei gesund erleben. Dass der Staat Menschen heute mit 65 oder etwas später aus dem Arbeitsleben drängt, dass viele Unternehmen Mitarbeiter schon mit 50 ausmustern, ist ökonomisch, psychologisch, gesellschaftlich falsch. Je komplexer Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft werden, desto wichtiger ist die Erfahrung der Älteren - im Unternehmen und in der Gesellschaft. Ein Staat mit immer mehr älteren Bürgern hat, wenn er diese ausgrenzt, schon verloren.

Im Gegenteil muss, zumal in Zeiten der Digitalisierung, die Arbeitswelt flexibilisiert werden. Ein starres Rentenalter hat sich überlebt, es gehört kurzfristig geöffnet, längerfristig abgeschafft. In den Unternehmen müssen die Jungen in den Jahren höchster privater Belastung entlastet und gleichzeitig die Alten gefördert werden. Und der Staat muss mit aller Kraft lebenslanges Lernen fördern.

White Diamond + Motherly love

She’s basically already grandma we’re achieving levels of aged beauty never before seen, GILF+

"Pleasure to meet you, little one."

The tall gem wore a cocktail dress with jewlery hanging over slits that showed her thighs and cleavage. Neither was hyper sized but she was tall enough that they were plenty big. Not to mention extra height added by her heels.
