im so obsessed with medical dramas and constantly read about conditions and treatments and operations and assessment methods etc etc etc, my google thinks im a doctor LMAOOO

[bittyfromquotev]

Kind of wish we had possessive switching, because we have no idea who we are like 90% of the time. We just. Are.

Like, I know it’s not always like this, but it feels like systems with possessive switches almost always know who they are/who’s in front.

We wish we had that.

sorry but this still makes me laugh. look at Crowevert with his potato farmer fists restrained by two dainty theater twinks

It's hard being the new kid...

Sort of "modern" HL AU

Meet Iñaki "MC" Martinez Cariaga! She's the new transfer student from the United States. She was late for the sorting ceremony so she's currently houseless right now, hence the gray tie. Unfortunately for MC, her ancient magic is a magnet for attracting trouble and getting her into situations she rather not be in, sort of like Percy Jackson.

Fun Facts:

Normally her eyes are brown, but ever since she ended up in the UK, if she's around the presence of high Ancient Magic activity, her own ancient magic activates, turning her eyes a magical blue. They also turn that color when she's using it. At the advice of Prof. Fig, she tries to keep a small flow of it running consciously if she's not at a nearby ancient magical source.

She's also big runes fan! Since her family comes from both Central and South America, she has a big love of studying Mayan glyphs and Incans quipus (they use that instead of runes to conducting their magic). She also knows some indigenous words in Kaqchikel and Quechua; some for fun and some for spell casting. Seeing Norse runes in person was the one thing she was definitely looking forward when going to Hogwarts.

While she doesn't originally goes by MC back in the States, it became her deferred nickname/shorten version of her double surname Martinez Cariaga to use at Hogwarts. She's gotten tired of both professors and peers taking too much time to say it or have them accidently butcher her surnames (or first name even). Her nickname of MC is used so often that it gets to the point that barely anyone remembers that her name is Iñaki 🤣

Ancient Magic & Hogwarts Castle

I headcanon that the Hogwarts Founders were ancient magic users who build Hogwarts and never told anyone about their abilities. Since the place is humming with Ancient Magic, MC's eyes are always a constant magical blue. It's when she leaves Hogwarts grounds that she has to focus on maintaining that magical flow.

The Big Move, Fourth Year & the Reserved New Girl

Unfortunately, Iñaki's dad lost his job during the first layoffs of the Great Recession in early 2008. Thankfully, he had a buddy who hooked him with a new temp job in London, causing the Martinez Cariaga family to move across the pond from New York to London during the end of summer. While she loved the idea of traveling and going to Europe (and maybe even learn more about the different ancient runes used there), she wasn't too pleased at the idea of moving abroad and leaving everything she knows and loves.

Instead of starting her freshman year with her close friend group at Excelsior (NYS magical school system, Ilvermorny is the New England private magical prep school - the most famous, oldest and only school most people know outside the US), Iñaki is starting 4th year at Hogwarts.

Note: The words between "< >" is spoken in Spanish. MC comes from a Spanish-speaking Latino household. If the words are not in between "< >" assume she's speaking English.

6: At the end of MC's first week:

MC:

<¡Hola Mami!>

< I'm fine. ¿And you? >

< Nothing interesting happened this week. >

< ¡NO! ¡It wasn't like I fought a dragon or a troll this week. >

< ¡Just because I faced the Jersey Devil in 6th grade or the Headless Horseman in 7th OR befriended Champ at Lake Champion in 8th doesn't mean weird things always happens to me! >

<¡I'm fine Mami! Nothing happened...>

<¡I had to Mami! ¡He told me he wanted to give me a "proper Hogwarts welcome" before we started! I told him "That's how we say 'Hello' in New York." Made it too easy for me by saying his spells out loud. The prof said I was a great example of how magical duels are different in the New World with our non-verbals...>

<He was cool with losing. ¡Sebastián even gave me a tour of the magical village nearby and introduced me to the "dueling club" the school has! >

< We dueled together…¡It was fun! I almost forgot how much I miss home… >

8:

MC:

< I still want to go home. >

< No Mami. I don't mean visiting you guys back in London. Home as in New York. >

< ¿Why should I make friends if we're only going to be here for a year?>

< ¿It's only a year...right? >

< ¿Right? >

< I gotta go...I promised my classmates I'll study with them for our exam next week. >

< I love you too. >

"Bye."

*Flips phone closed*

*Ends call*

......

MC's trying...but she is rather homesick.

She's now stuck in Hogwarts and isn't too keen on making friends since she has no clue whether she'll be there for a year or not - it all depends whether if they extend her father's work contract and she's isn't keen on making friends if she's only there for a few months in her mind. It gets to the point where Sebastian trying to friend her is like an unstoppable force meeting an unmovable object. (He ends up winning though when she accidently slips up and calls him her friend later on in the year).

For now though, MC is a very angsty teen right now and had her world flipped upside down.

At least she can take out her angst in dueling club 😅

I want to thank @myokk for listening to my ideas about my MC and to my sibling who needed to borrow my laptop for work (leading me to doodle and actually make a digital drawing on my tablet -that I use as a second monitor for work- since I couldn't edit some papers on those days). Without them this drawing wouldn't have happened.

I'm never doing this ever again because I a bit too perfectionist for art and I hated the number of layers I needed. It was supposed to just be a SIMPLE digital doodle!!!! Instead I made this 😭. Never again. I'm sticking to my pen doodles. I was bored out of my mind and I was either reading or doodling while my sis was testing out her new laptop and I was on stand by in case she needed me.

we thought we were median but we just had non-possessive switches (and ray was in denial and didnt wanna call it full-on plurality)

-Yahweh

[plural-culture-is]

non-disordered monocon plural culture is, having known you're plural for multiple years now, having plenty of personal proof that you are plural, being more comfortable and happy than you have in many, many years, due to being able to be plural. but still struggling with so much self doubt, because of how easy it would be to just go back to living as a singlet, and imagining doing so. imagining the fallout that would occur with multiple partner systems if it turned out that we are really just a singlet, that we haven't been plural at all.

🌱📼⚡ these are for the asks you posted on your profile ☺️

OH I'M STUPID HOLD ON

(We queue like everything so sometimes I legit gotta look up what's been posted by other alters. rip. I'm sorry.)

📼: a lot of non-humans. lol The majority are probably vampires but there are also a lot of chaotics, which are a inworld species of elemental beings that are kinda like Grisha or Benders. As a human, I'm in the minority.

🌱: Oh we got hella inworld. Like I said, we got a lot of inhumans like vampires and chaotics, but there are also gods, wolf shifters, angels, demons. Tbh it isn't unlike the Shadowhunterverse, only Chaotics ain't trying to be cops. Not too far from the Grishaverse either. And there are grittier elements like drug rings and such. There are also time pockets that magic doesn't work in? I live in 1920's Chicago because the 1920's is when my two dads, Jack and Jasper, were alive. Anyone who visits me gets nerf'd and on my human level, which is why I like it. It's stupidly in-depth. Like my job in the weird drug-ring kinda deal is making sure trades between time zones stay fair with inflation and all and that there's no chronological gentrification. (Seriously lol) We all have different friend circles and family in there. The ones that don't front don't want to because normally their lives over here are a lot more cinematic lol. But it can be Too real. Physical sensations are the same. I've broken bones that took weeks to heal, I've gotten hella sick over there, there's drama and friendship implosions and budgeting and math. There are TAXES over there rip. The inworld ig wanted to make everything way realistic so we thought it was another dimension as opposed to a fantasy land.

⚡️: switching is kind of summoning someone else, kinda switching my own attention. Like what I'm gonna do here in a bit is go through everyone's music to see who's biting (I'm thinking Xhax or Xanthe) and text them. I'll feel way spacy, I'll feel them around and, suddenly, I'm scrolling on my phone like normal or at Sound's house or something. Or my newsfeed turned into a 20's newspaper lmao. It takes a couple hours, but it depends on who's busy and such.

So yeah SO sorry I didn't check what the emojis went lmao I didn't repost the ask thing so I was like "Is this code?"

gonna be a bitch for a second but "ohhh they're FINALLY teaching usamerican kids metric" 1. they've been teaching metric units in usamerican schools for decades because 2. they are the established common units of science that ALL equations are built around because 3. they're technically not metric units, they're SI (système international) which is the modern standardized form of metric and many units were redefined around standardizations that would allow for their use in these equations (for example, redefining a meter around the distance traveled by light in a set amount of time, or using kelvin rather than celsius). like yeah yeah it's funny to laugh at the usamericans using their weird measurements but if you're gonna act all high and mighty at least know your history

[gregmarriage]

the thing with both me and my brother being into always sunny, is there are parts where i straight up can’t talk about it with him. i can’t talk about mac being in love with dennis (even though it’s canon), i can’t talk about dtamhd being a allegory for dennis possibly (rcg, i’m in your walls) accepting his sexuality, because he doesn’t get it!! he’s my irl go to person for media shit and i can’t even talk to him!!

Switches?

There's me, the one that's been running this blog, but there is another that may be separate from me. If we are different people, I think we, specifically, do what's called "non-possessive" switching because I don't forget things when I come back. What I've called "robot mode" before may just be a headmate I have less amnesia with. It is very easy to trigger us both out, I've noticed. I lured them out to be able to understand whether we were different or not, and they brought me back in the same day. I have been thinking I was frontstuck, but it is more likely I just stay here because I choose to. I do hope we don't switch that often again. I feel weird now, and I am used to staying in front or being co-con recently. Mostly, it's because I am not used to non-possessive switching and it is messing with my head. I am realizing now I have not done a single intro, for myself or others. I will get to that.

Finally sold that Switch 2 preorder

[petaliiss]

Common things in DID that no one likes to talk about

- switches that feel like you’re turning into someone else rather than them taking control (non-possessive switching)

- being unable to recognize amnesia until something requires you to remember something you forgot

- staying in the front for weeks at a time

- being unable to communicate with alters internally (this is so common why does everyone act like this is weird?)

- feeling like you don’t have any problems because you feel disconnected from them

- constant denial

- rapid identity, label, and appearance changes

- comorbidities, particularly personality disorders, anxiety disorders, and the schizophrenia spectrum

- autism (there is science pointing towards autistic people being more susceptible to trauma)

- disliking your system

- wanting final fusion

I mentioned to my husband that Thailand uses a different calendar system than the US and it throws me off sometimes. Not massively, just every time I see year 25xx I have to be like oh right. Anyway, he asked if it was just in the dramas or if Thailand actually used it. I mentioned seeing a graphic for the legalization of same sex marriage in Thailand that had dates like that on it. And then realized.... maybe it's just the Gay Calenedar 🤣
