So, it's not open yet, I still have a bunch fiddly little stuff, including the hardcoding, the mailers, etc., never mind getting the mail server up and running correctly so that gmail stops intercepting. BUT-- the majority of it's at least there and stable.

Some neat things we have:

A canonical QPR relationship category! A canonical vs. relationship category! Tag discipline! So much tag discipline!

However-- I need some help. Namely, I need a Marvel Comics (not MCU) aficionado. I was big into the X-books back in the day, but it's been like two decades since then, so when it comes to building the categories, tags, etc, I would like someone or a couple someones with more recent experience than that.

I also wouldn't mind someone from the smaller companies, while we're at it.

So, if you're interested in perhaps being on the very ground floor of a new archive, I'm sl_walker on Discord (easiest), or you can DM here, though that'll be slower.

I have some commissions open on my kofi! I can do oc’s and canon characters! I have to save 600$ to get lessons so my parents will finally take me out driving to get my license! (Which hopefully will make me more appealing to jobs)

Time to binge all the episodes and hope it doesn’t make me tear our hair out.

So this is going to be. Inarticulate because I'm upset and not ready to cite sources but uh. Episode Five of Moon Knight is so incredibly ableist and pluralphobic its absurd. Hi! We're Jewish, we're a system, we've read some of the comics, and we're here to give a basic overview of *why* this Episode specifically was so horrible.

For starters, what they got right. DID is in fact caused by ongoing childhood trauma, like an abusive parent. Alters form to protect each other from this trauma, often times with some alters who can remember it (Like Marc) and some who can continue to live a normal life free from that burden (Like Steven). Alters often don't know about each other, or some will know and some won't. There being one alter who can fight and protect them and one who can hold down a job and an apartment is also pretty accurate.

What they got wrong: Oh my god literally everything else. Lets break it down.

1) The Core/Original: while some systems do identify with this framework, the majority dont and it doesnt have much backing. DID isnt "there is one person and then a second one forms", it is "before a solid state of personhood is reached (generally as a teen) trauma causes amnesia barriers, causing two or more sets of memories to form, from which two or more persons arise". there is no more an "original" as there is an original cake once its been sliced up to serve, or ceramic plate once its broken.

1b) Marc "Constructing" Steven: Alters don't make each other, it is a process done by the brain itself. DID systems can no more "construct alters" than you can choose to forget an embarrassing memory. its something that either just happens or doesnt

2) Pushing for Integration against the system's wishes. Integration/Fusion is a process where two alters break down the amnesia barrier between them and "fuse" into one person. Some Systems choose this as a treatment option, so that they can effectively become a singlet and function "normally". Some Systems don't, and consider Integration to be more harmful for them. Both of these are fine, but you *cannot* push a system into one if they haven't *all* agreed to it. Marc doesn't want to integrate. He doesn't want Steven to remember the trauma he holds. Forcing them to integrate anyway on threat of essentially hell and the world ending? Is incredibly fucked up.

3) Alter Death. Alters don't die. They can fuse, or go dormant (like a coma, essentially) and their system may *perceive* or refer to this as death, but its not. Steven dying in the show is more of a "magical soul removal" type thing, but this very much isn't something that happens in real life.

4) Overtness. DID is a covert disorder. it exists to keep you safe, its not going to make you even more of a target by making the system switch to a blatantly different accent. While alters do often have different accents when they feel safe enough to show them, they're also great at pretending to be each other, and Steven would at least have had the same accent as Marc when they first split as a child.

Anyway! thats not everything wrong with the show or even this episode but those were the super blatant and potentially dangerous pieces of misinformation I had to correct now. We'll probably make a more detailed/informative/sourced post after the finale.
