This is a SystemQuirks ask. I dunno what I'm doing really and I'm very sorry if this wasn't where you wanted this, but I kinda wanted to grab your platform to get more feedback on if other systems experience the thing..
So, we're a fairly recently discovered self-dx traumagenic system
I'm the host and I recently had an alter introduce hinself through a really long, super intense dream. It felt like about a month in duration and consisted of several memories over a couple years with him there. Mostly as a 'new kid' at school.
Like, we had detailed conversations and talked about what we wanted to do when we grew up too. (He wanted to go into politics to help with natural park conservation)
I also thought he was an actual new kid and asked one of my school friends where he was, giving a name and short description. After the friend had a mini crisis and told me she had no clue who I was talking about, I got it sorted out and easily seperated the dream bits from the normal bits
But anyway, I haven't heard of an alter intro like this before??
It just seems sorta weird and I was hoping that someone else related to something I described, so I can have a frame of reference
Thanks, 🐐
Hey! Sorry it took me so long to answer. Sounds like a weird situation, but it’s absolutely happened.
I actually was the alter to introduce themself in a dream. Roy did as well; though we weren’t quite as clear to the “viewers” of the dream as yours appeared to be!
We also often mix up reality and our dreams (both due to the DID and due to the REM Behavior disorder we believe we’re developing. Thanks, genetics!) It’s normal, imo, to be a little confused when you have this disorder.
Im glad you’re able to communicate with your alters like this! I hope it gets easier/less confusing with time.

There's a lot of lines in Amongst Our Weapons that make me want to wave my arms around and yell incoherently about Peter and Nightingale and how far they've come and how much they mean to each other, but right now the one I want to yell about the most is this one from right at the end:
Image text: 'The wider the base, the greater the stability of the building,' said Nightingale. 'You taught me that.'
Because, like. Peter wanted to be an architect. The thing he always wanted to do was to build things. And look what he's built! He hasn't just rebuilt the Folly as it was, he's built something modern and completely new out of its constituent parts and he's done it by caring about people and being interested in how things work and by what Beverly jokingly calls 'compulsive networking'.
And everything he's done for the Folly, he's done for Nightingale on a personal level too.
Nightingale was So isolated when Peter first met him. His police colleagues didn't want much to do with him, his social circle seemed to consist of Molly and Dr Walid and not much more, he was completely out of touch with the modern world. And to his credit, he was the one who decided to take on an apprentice, but that was pretty much all he was planning to do. Train up a replacement for himself in case he got killed, pass on the Forms and Wisdoms properly, keep the status quo going.
But he chose Peter, and suddenly he's got an apprentice who wants to study the science behind magic and modernise the Folly's record keeping and work out better ways to liaise with other police and fundamentally Make Changes. Nightingale ends up with all these connections through Peter, to Beverley and the other Thames girls, to Lesley, to Abigail, eventually to the rest of Peter's family, to other police like Guleed and Stephanopoulos and unfortunately for him Seawoll... He has people he can rely on, and who choose to rely on him, and not just for magic -I especially love how Peter's mum eventually starts using him to babysit Peter's dad, and the fact that he helps Abigail's family with her brother. He's not alone anymore, and he goes from just living to genuinely thriving.
And it's all down to Peter, and what the two of them have built together. In fact, they've built something so significant that in a few years Nightingale isn't going to be necessary anymore. He's been Britain's Last Official Wizard for seventy years, all the weight of that tradition resting on his shoulders alone, and in a handful of years Peter has helped him to build something that'll be able to take the weight instead if he wants it to. There are people who can help do everything he's been doing alone and more, so finally he can think about what he actually wants for himself. (And don't even get me started on his arc re: teaching and discovering that it's what he wants to do for the rest of his life, I Will start yelling even more.)
And it's Peter who's taught him to let other people take the weight. That you can build something stable and lasting if you're willing to share the load. The wider the base, the greater the stability of the building.
Not bad for a wannabe architect who can't draw, huh?

Funny part about the Tumblr tagging system is that people use it for both cataloguing and warning about specific content. Sometimes I'll see a warning type tag and I'll get the urge to click it as if it was a catalog type tag. Show me all the posts that contain "needles" or "flashing lights". I'm curious. I wanna see em.

It’s kinda odd to see ppl defend Legendary Disaster’s lion swap in 2022. I get that there were interesting meta reasons behind it but like, we do all remember that “let’s have the paladins match their lions and then switch them all up to match their original 80s placements for the nostalgic appeal” was arguably the genesis for all the worst choices in VLD’s narrative and visual design, right

I think this 8log gets a lot more neg8ive confession than positive, so I just want to say that it gets 8etter! People will learn to accept and like you in spite of your source, and it won't 8e everyone, 8ut that's life 8a8y! In headspace, I get to try things I'd always wimped out a8out 8efore introjecting, like dueling and fencing! I still miss my wives, 8ecause how could I not? 8ut more importantly, I'm not alone when I worry a8out them 8ecause a whole hell of a lot of us fret a8out our old sourcem8s. I hope your day is okay, everyone.

This might be late but I have a system quirk! A couple, actually. One is that the main part of our inner world started as a giant, glowing, enchanted tree! With a treehouse for every alter and stuff like bridges and ropes to move around. We also use teleportation type stuff to move around. We have since expanded our inner world in therapy and now have a forest and store-type building with more rooms for alters specifically designed for them.
Another semi-quirky thing is that a LOT of our young alters are basically like if our brain went Copy/Paste. They look and sound the same, with very slight differences in appearance that they ended up doing themselves, later in our life. They do have different names, thankfully, most that they chose themselves. Inner world meetings can be confusing with 8 or 9 nearly identical children!😅 (that's not even all of our kiddos, we are very child alter heavy.)
I love reading about system quirks. It's so interesting how different our brains worked. Quite incredible, actually!
Cleaning out my inbox, got another system quirk!!! <3
I love hearing about people’s innerworlds. They’re always so fascinating. Your enchanted tree sounds so epic and I’m more than a little jealous. The only plant life we have in here right now is Debra’s garden... which consists only of night-sky petunias. Yeah. I need more plants.
As for the children, wow! That sounds like a lot to handle. Sometimes our two littles can be a lot for us, and one of them even age-slides to 19, so he only counts half of the time. I can’t imagine dealing with so many!! You’re a full on daycare /lh
Thank you so much for sharing your unique plurality!

Favorite type of science?
I'm so sorry I'm allergic to smart things and don't really enjoy science generally. Um, maybe zoology? I think animals are cool :)

Hello! Non-OSDD/DID system (endogenic with an “it’s complicated” asterisk), here’s a few things about us: We’re not that good at switching intentionally, and tend to have 1-2 day cycles of fronting & then switching overnight. I think we’ve only ever met one other (non-intentionally-formed) system who believes they *formed* in adulthood, & genuinely weren’t a system prior to that point. We used daydreams to give the newer of us a “compressed approximation” of life experiences outside his source.
Hey there!! Thanks for your quirks!
We definitely relate to the switching overnight thing. That used to happen sooo much towards the start of us knowing we were a system. Just... Blink, wake up, and suddenly I’m a different person.
As for daydreams... That sounds cool! We “daydream” a lot - though we’ve come to realize that, for us, this is more visualization and dissociation out of the real world - and talk to everyone that way sometimes. It’s cool how you use it!
