hi! i'm a singlet and am researching about some intricacies of did/systems for a character! my question is very simple really: is it possible for an alter to need glasses but not other members of the system? or is it something dictated by your bodily needs? i know some conditions apply for all the system like neurological ones, but i don't recall any mentioning a physical one like needing glasses. i don't know anywhere to get info on this so i thought i'd ask here if it's ok! if not sorry to bother and have a great day!

We at one point had an alter who was mildly color blind and the body is not so that was weird

And we hear about different alters having different allergies, different addictions, different vocal ranges, and visions, though if your vision is better than the body's is you're still gonna need glasses when you front unfortunately

The brain is weird and it controls the entire body so weird shit happens sometimes

How a demon can help you touch grass and do a self care

Channel a demon into your body

The demon walks your body outside and touches grass with your hand

Repeat as necessary

Sysculture is

"Oh, I couldn't have DID, I don't have amnesia like that" the first time you hear about DID.

And the second time you hear about DID.

And the third time, even though the rest of the symptoms hit pretty close to home, but you're not going to think about that part, because you definitely don't have the amnesia.

Ignore the fact that you can't really remember what you learned about DID the first two times you came across it, though.

It’s normal for singlets to have parts of themselves. Everyone is pretty complex under the surface. But, in a singlet, those parts are united into one whole. One self that oversees and directs those parts and ultimately decides which to pay most attention to.

In a median system, those “parts” or facets themselves have their own complexity and their own sense of self that directs each of them. They may agree to all listen to each other and act as one whether together or through one facet, but they’re independent enough that they can choose not to.

In a multiple system, each member has their own parts and complexity. They too may choose to act as if they’re one, much like a median system. In fact, medians and multiples are very much alike except for one crucial difference - identity.

In a multiple system, every member is completely separate and views themselves as being their own person. They may or may not share memories, they may or may not be able to front separately, but that doesn’t change that they are essentially very different people, bottom to top.

In a median system, every member is only partly separate. Their identities may easily blend or overlap. And while they each have their own sense of self, they also in some crucial, foundational way identify as also being the same person.

Hope this explanation and the diagram helps explain it a bit! :)

System culture is some of us having the dumbest fucking names ever which feel ESPECIALLY dumb compared to our headmates with more regular names

We have a guy, our main caretaker, who named himself Skid Drift. He chose that

Sysculture is "I don't think my trauma is that bad tbh!" like I didn't forgot like 80% of my childhood if I'm being generous.

Hey, it’s not your fault. You were just a kid. You may still BE a kid. But I know a few things for certain:

You didn’t ask to be born into this world.

You didn’t ask to be treated the way that you were treated—whether it was by bullies, parents, or other family members.

You didn’t ask to “be a burden” to your caregivers, you deserved that space to be loved and safe

You didn’t ask for your consent to be broken.

You didn’t ask for the shame and guilt someone put you through.

You aren’t bad for something happening to you. You aren’t your trauma.

I’m sorry if you were ever made to feel that way, and I know that may never mean much coming from a stranger, but I know it’s something I wish I heard more.
