[ultra-raging-ghost]

bads telling the babies the story of the islanders arriving!!!!

hes. also telling it in a really suspicious way, like... idk how to describe it....

[anartisticdreamer0]

not enough do we talk about how q!phil is just as much a special boy to the feds as some of the others

- cucurucho has given him special treatment MULTIPLE times

- instead of getting fed kidnapped he gets told where to go then has the door closed on him

- codes always seemed to target him when he specifically was alone with eggs

- fed workers just kind of adapt to him

- he and his eggs were very commonly left alone

- his ticket is special.

it’s really something interesting how much he got away with.

i wonder why?

Anyways, statue building stream perhaps :D

Our prof introduced us to the foresters as "my kids" :) thats so sweet, even tho some of us are in their middle 30s 😭

[ashenmind]

Hard to make any conclusive claims yet, but what's most interesting to me isn't the most spidery touhous, many of which I could have guessed, but the least.

Cause if you asked me "Who's the least spider-like touhou?" I wouldn't even know where to start, yet some are definitely "losing" a lot more of their matches than others.

I think thats good im going back

« Marinette ran, and ran, and ran, past the fenced pathways lined with trees and benches, past the people and the families on the benches, up the stone steps into the Alpine Garden, round and round the winding pathways until she was out of breath and her sides ached and her cheeks were dry and salty and she couldn’t see where she came from anymore and then she ran some more, until her foot hit a stone and she pitched forward, tumbling down, down, down into a bed of yellow flowers. Marinette pushed herself up onto her elbows, surveying the damage. The flowers she’d landed on were crushed, their petals bruised and stems flattened. A few inches away was a little green sign poking out of the ground, informing her of exactly what she’d just destroyed: Ranunculus Adoneus (Alpine Buttercup) Of course they were buttercups. Clumsy, awkward, Marinette, so caught up in her own problems that she hadn’t seen the rocks in her path, tripped and fell and trampled on the flowers. Of course. Maladroit Marinette, destroying something beautiful before she’d had a chance to appreciate it. Blundering, ham-handed Marinette, making a mess of everything she touched. Inconsiderate, thoughtless Marinette, who’d tried to make her team stronger and ended up tearing it apart. Who’d tried to fix her partnership and somehow made it worse. Marinette dropped her head back down in defeat. Maybe if she just laid here in the dirt, she wouldn’t ruin anything else. »

So @bittersweetresilience was doing a liveblogging of team is a four letter word by @ladyofthenoodle and just like everytime i read it i was going insane for Marinette just tripping on top of the buttercups, she's pretty, she's pathetic, she had her good reasons but everything went wrong. I just love the way Noodles writes her<3

GO READ IT IF YOU HAVEN'T YET!!

OFFICIAL REWATCH PARTY SCHEDULE

Hello Sniggles, Nighthawks, PEIP Agents, and even the occasional Timberwolf (we see you, Paul Matthews)! It's been a long time, much longer than I'd hoped, but the results to Blinky's survey have been tallied and I can now announce the Official Watch Schedule for Blinky's Rewatch Party!!

The schedule for Round 2 will be released sometime in April, though there are no plans to deviate from the current Saturday times.

HOW CAN WE WATCH ALONG?

I'm glad you asked! There will be multiple ways to participate in the Watch Parties.

Here on Tumblr, we will be using the tag "Blinky's Rewatch Party." You can use the tag to liveblog your Watch party experience, or wait until the story is over to post any and all thoughts at once. If you can't make either of the chosen times, that's okay! The tag's not going anywhere; simply watch and post your thoughts whenever you can. And remember to check out the tag to see what other people are saying!

We will also be hosting the Watch Parties on Twitter, with the hashtag "#BlinkysRewatchParty." This site will work much the same way--you can livetweet your thoughts or just wait until the end to post anything you want; it's flexible for however you best like to watch.

We also strongly encourage people to use the Youtube comments section of the episodes themselves; the more comments we leave, the more the Langs will know that we're still invested in Nightmare Time and desperately want some more.

And of course we will be hosting communal Watch Parties on our official Discord server! This will involve everyone watching the server stream together, but since the whole point of this is to keep the Nightmare Time viewing numbers going up, we will be STRONGLY encouraging everyone to pull the episode and have it playing muted in another tab if at all possible.

And that's about it! Thank you so much to everyone for your patience and kindness while I've spent the last couple of months hitting real life like Max Jagerman hit the Waylon Place floor. I'm so excited to get started, spread the love of Nightmare Time far and wide, and hopefully get us that much closer to Nightmare Time 3!!

See ya' at Watcher World!

=> examine computer

> Tavros: Examine computer.

You love your COMPUTER! Many of your FRIENDS reside within it. There's plenty to do, but you aren't particularly in the mood to play any GAMES right now, nor do you think anyone's willing to play them with you. You own mostly SINGLEPLAYER GAMES, but it isn't as fun if you aren't constantly keeping someone updated. Usually your HIVEMATE bears the brunt of your liveblogging, as you do with his, but he's still asleep.

The next thing that comes to mind, due to it being CURRENTLY ONSCREEN, is your MESSAGING APPLICATION, which does not have any OFFICIAL NAME for mysterious and unknowable reasons (possibly just that whoever made it couldn't be bothered to give it a name). Your attention is brought to your active GROUP CHAT, currently named "Pussy Lovers", and a discussion on said name. It was originally intended as a group to survey and discuss any interesting animals spotted, although it quickly devolved from that, largely reflected in it's absurd amounts of NAME CHANGES. Rose, DP and Jake seem to be the main contributors to these names, though you've fuelled the conflict quite a bit yourself. Nobody else seems to be contacting you at the moment, but it's good to stay caught up, even though you aren't entirely sure what they're talking about. ..Very little time has passed. If worst comes to worst, you'll peruse the INTERNET for awhile. But you hope it doesn't have to come to that. You're sure theres more to do.

[questersrest]

can't believe this box is even here for me to check

HUH?

oh okay

[cupcraft]

3: the cwilbur utah finale not only liveblog but the prestream liveblog where he kept delaying the stream and we were all dying over meta of a stream that didnt even happen yet

4: the cinnuon particle memes

5: every tftsmp liveblog

6: mcytblr elections

7: the Peak Survey Era

[circular-bircular]

hi, have you ever read "normal dimensions of multiple personality without amnesia"? i really have no idea how to read these kinds of things but i'm super interested in them, and from my very lacking understanding of it, i thought it might be some validity for endogenic plurality? but again- i really don't understand these things so i'm probably misunderstanding. so! i was wondering if you had any thoughts on it, and perhaps could explain it in simpler terms for those of us who haven't learnt to read these things :)

Hello! Yes, I have unfortunately read that article. It is a fakeclaiming, ableist abomination, in my opinion.

A summary of my thoughts: The authors of the piece, in an attempt to "prove endogenic plurality," suggest that DID is fake, that those who have DID just "gave themselves" the trauma, and that the only pathologic part of DID is the amnesia those systems face. It uses the Fantasy Model (a version of the False Memory Model, wherein people just Fantasize their trauma) to fakeclaim a diagnosed system from a case study.

I wrote an entire debunk of the article over on my alternative blog.

I am disgusted by the researchers of this article, and I'm glad you sought out someone to explain a bit more. If you don't want to slog through that full link, I can give a bit more analysis below (rather than the liveblogging I need to do to get through articles such as that one, since I also struggle with dissecting medical literature!)

TW below for fakeclaiming of both systemhood and multiple types of trauma (sexual, physical, neglectful, etc)

The authors base their study on the idea that children experience shifting personality in adolescence, and argue that this is non-pathological. This is widely accepted! Someone shifting personality traits as they grow up is absolutely not the same as DID. The authors go on to argue that the amnesia criteria was added in the DSM-4, and go further to argue that so-labeled "high-functioning MPD systems" could actually be "totally normal people with multiple personalities with no amnesia."

(Note: "totally normal people" is a lovely touch of ableism, as if people with DID are not normal, and totally normal high-functioning systems without amnesia already have a label. OSDD.)

The methods of this study are so minimally described that I fear my 6th grade students produce better lab reports in their science classes. A survey made by the researchers wherein only one subjective personal response on their own criteria indicates dissociative identity disorder, because it 'totally correlates to the DES, trust us guys'. The sampling is even shorter and negligent to the point of feeling purposeful.

Part of the way through the article, they shift their hypothesis. In the start of the essay, they set out to prove that multiplicity without amnesia is a normal experience and that trauma is what causes amnesia. Here, they change the hypothesis to be a bit reversed; that multiplicity is normal, and in DID, amnesia is imposed upon an already functional multiple system. If your red flags have not raised yet for the fakeclaiming, they should be up now.

Especially because, yep, they go on to fakeclaim a case study, Frieda. This individual was diagnosed with DID. This article claims that most traumatized people do not dissociate (with no source for this claim, particularly because the claim is batshit), and that "fantasizers" like Frieda (you know, a woman with severe trauma) just... imagine their feelings to be fully fragmented parts!

It seems to be that they try to argue that these imagined parts are what every system experiences, and people get amnesia if they imagine they should (as seen by their accusations of Frieda's fantasizing).

BTW: Frieda was orphaned as a child, raised in orphanages where she was abused, neglected, and without proper food and shelter, and then molested by soldiers in the war she was living through. The article skips almost all of her traumatic childhood and suggests that, after being raped (while the original case study states "molested"), she gained amnesia for the event, which made her imaginary friend into a disorder.

So... yeah! There you have it folks: all systems are just made up, and DID/OSDD is caused when those systems (who are making it all up) actually experience something that causes amnesia!
