#DID terms

[6432]

paient

an alter that fronts to handle any health related appointments. whether it's for therapy, psychiatry, or a clinical appointment these alters will front to speak to the doctors. usually, these alters have low amnesia so sharing any symptoms or other issues with said doctors will go smoothly.

Adapter

An alter (headmate/system member/etc.) who's role is to adapt. The situations one must adapt to are not specific and can vary from system to system.

This role is up to interpretation, however, some of the things this alters may experience are:

A lack of stability or permanence in identity

Exclusively fluid identities (like genderfluid or abrosexual)

Sudden and/or extreme changes in opinions or perception

The feeling of being a subsystem made up of the different adapted versions that are taken to adapt (whether true or not)

Among others

This was coined with Dexter (it/its) in mind, but anyone can use this term.

PLEASE READ OUR DNI/DNF BEFORE USING

Gateway

flag is okay to be redesigned if desired, as we only made it to make this post. Please tag me if you do

An alter who acts as a gateway for other alters to make themselves obvious.

This alter is usually influenced by other alters that the host/system is not aware of until their strange behaviour is acknowledged as a new alter's influence.

This can often (but not only) happen with doubles, ie; an introject of a character may suddenly be very different from before and confuse the others about their identity, until another introject of the same character is acknowledged and discovered.

This was made with our gateway alter in mind, who has helped multiple doubles with his same source make themselves obvious to our hosts by letting them influence him until our hosts took notice of the change in his behavior and acknowledged the possibility of there being 2 different alters.

TO BE USED BY TRAUMAGENIC SYSTEMS ONLY

Nonautsysgender

A system-exclusive term for alters that don't identify as exclusively cis or trans due to being in a system. Some examples include: - alters whose species doesn't have a concept of being cis/trans or having a gender or otherwise has a different concept of gender than humans - alters who aren't fully formed enough to know if they're cis or trans or are otherwise blurry, fluid, have facets, are recently fused, etc - alters that present as having mixed sex characteristics, can shapeshift, have no genitals, or are unsure if they have genitals - alters who don't identify with having an "assigned gender/formed gender" This can coexist with other genders. For instance, an alter who uses this term may still identify as a man, but not be sure/care about if they're cis or trans.

This term is exclusive to systems, meaning DID-spec (aka traumagenic) systems, not people who claim to be systems without a disorder/trauma

[id: both flags have 7 horizontal stripes of even size. the top stripe is light purple, then a grayish medium purple, then very light green, then light yellow, then green, medium purple, and light purple again. the first flag has a circle in the middle which is the same yellow color, with an equal sign with a line through it in the middle]

silly headcannon #2 that Bruce never got the reference that Jason always made of himself being short round (he always thought it was Jason saying he was short) until after he died and Tim, avid Indiana Jones fan made Bruce watch the movies with him, only the man breaks out crying., sobbing, full on breaking down over the two second scene that is Indy ruffling Short Round’s hair as he explains they first met when he caught the kid stealing from him, and then took him under his wing.

it's so great that in greek tragedy there are only three paradigms for a woman leaving her house (her wedding, her funeral, and maenadic rites) and they're all kind of the same thing also
