me: oh no they're fully realized people! they just each got roles, like the Ringmaster helps with show problems, the Princess handles the childhood trauma and wonder, the Acrobat's the one who handles all the teenage issues, then we got Augustus himself to handles his family as the father-

my brain: ...sounds like DID.

me: no-

me: what i-

me: noooo...no i would never project like that-

me:

me, realizing its exactly that: oh fuck thats a way more interesting au
