#script alterations

[batcavescolony]

just saw someone say Rick Riordan making a TV show is just as bad as anything JKR has done. BFFR you're comparing Rick Riordan trying to make his world more inclusive, changing some parts because of money/time constraints, or just making changes cus he thinks they're needed, to JKR being a terrible person!

It's been ten million years since Hermitclones were in my head, but man, I missed them. I missed my sillies. Uh. Please talk to me about Hermitclones! I miss talking about them!!

Hi there! I just wanted to pop in and say that the universe you've created is incredible! I've fallen into the rabbit hole that is your lore and made myself right at home lol. Though I was wondering how Deity Bill might react to a Ford that's traveling the multiverse and changing things. I go more in detail about this Ford and what exactly he does on my GF blog, and I'll leave a link to the lore post below! I don't remember if I sent in a similar ask to you before so sorry if I did!

As heroic as this Ford sounds, Deity Bill would probably be pissed when an outsider from a different dimension tries to interfere with any timelines of other dimensions, despite their intentions being good or bad. Basically, he's like Miguel O'Hara. He is a guardian so he ensures that no dimension is touched, especially himself where he doesn't actively interact or interfere to alter timelines drastically (not unless he does 6 months of paperwork with Timebaby so he can have reigns over a dimension with them, that's how he's officially able to become his earth's muse). The thought that a human of all beings gets these kinds of abilities that are beyond their capabilities is unsafe and probably risky— according to Deity.

However, he's empathetic in a sense, but he firmly stands by his rule no matter what.

Scripts: What are they, and what aren't they?

Unfortunately, scripts have been subject to major misinformation within certian OEA spaces. Examples are terms such as 'miniscripts', how many scripts a system can have, what media can be a script, etc. This post will cover all of that, as well as provide sources to the best of my ability. These sources contain material that can be triggering, so please tred carefully.

What are scripts?

The term 'script' itself is linked to svalispeaks, who is not a good source. However, the concept itself is documented and referenced to in other ways, so please keep that in mind.

Simply put, a 'script' is a piece of media used as an internal organization program to lay out a systems innerworld, hierarchy, and parts. When done properly, scripts will be a seen in almost everything in a systems internal parts. Those scripted in a particular media will have alters based on characters and a piece of the innerworld based on the universe, each serving a specifically programmed purpose.[1, chp 4 & 6][2 , pg 94]

Scripting will typically begin in infancy or very young age, as any programming does. [3][4][5] This is because the older the child is, the more difficult it is to implement programming, as possible dissociative responses and state of integration have already begun to develop. [6]

Groups that attempt scripting are typically large, sophisticated and organized, as they require a substantial amount of space and time (ex. Multiple rooms and prompts, ability to perform wide ranges of abuse, ability to have frequent access to child). [3][4][5][7 , chp 2 & 4]

Internal structures are common in those who have dealt with TBMC. However, not all of them are scripts. The difference between other structures and scripts are the addition of specific media, such as a religious book, to outline the system.

Scripts vs Forced Introjection

Programmed Introject =/= Script =/= Forced Introject

People often confuse forced introjection for scripts. Sometimes, survivors may even confuse a general introject for a part of a script. While scripts do involve forced introjection, not all forced introjection is scripting.

A script involves more than one alter, programmed around one another, as well as effects to the system structure, innerworlds, and applied programs. Forced introjection does not have to be a part of a script, or even part of OEA at all.

A common example of non-scripted forced introjects, that may themselves be programmed, are abuser introjects. These introjects can be programmed, but may not be a part of a script. [8 , pg 51]

Outside of that, systems may have forced introjects that aren't programmed, or involved in OEA at all. This could be possible from further abuse at a later date, where the perpetrator utilizes the persons CDD to try and get them to split a certian introject. This could be an example of conditioning, but not programming.

Myths and Misinformation:

1. Any piece of media can be a script.

1a. Viable media for scripting must be simple enough for a young child to understand, must have clear and reoccurring themes and morals, and has a consistent storyline. This is due to age of the victim. Media that has been around for a long time are more than likely able to fit these things, along with the fact that repeat adaptations and reoccurrence of the story is common. New, complicated, and long pieces of media make scripting extremely difficult or impossible. Groups that do have the resources to script victims are more likely to resort to tried and true methods, and media that reflects their values [ex. Religious documents], rather then making up an entirely new scripting method.

2. There is no limit on the number of scripts you can have.

2a. Due to the nature of scripts being the complete base of the system, or a major part of it, it would be incredibly difficult to implement more than one script without it failing and breaking down. The child would become very confused and internal structures wouldn't work as required. There is hardly any reason to have more than one script anyways, given the time and effort gone in to creating one.

3. 'Miniscripts.'

3a. 'Miniscripts' are the idea of a script that purposely only involves one layer, or only a couple of alters. While it is possible to have failed or broken programming that results in a broken script, the purpose of a script itself means that it will inhabit more than just a small area of the system. Like previously mentioned, the presence of multiple scripts can easily cause dysfunction and break down the system. Often, 'miniscripts' are just other organizational programming, forced introjection, or simply introjects by themselves.

4. Every TBMC survivor with a CDD has a script.

4a. This is completely false. In fact, it's likely less common to have a script, let alone a fully functioning/complete one, due to the time and effort it takes to implement. You can be programmed and not have a script. It's possible to not have a script yet have other organizational programming. You do not need one.

Specific Scripts:

There were a lot of sources on this matter that I've found but don't particularly trust, but have been sited by ones I do. For this reason I have left out mentions of specific scripts as I didn't have detailed references. However, for the sake of this post, I'd like to mention these following specific scripts I've seen mentioned, however brief, in reading:

The Wizard of Oz

Alice In Wonderland

Nursery Rhymes and Fairy Tales

Original Disney Princesses

Religious Texts

This is not to say these are the only scripts possible, ever. These are just ones I've seen referenced to in a clinical sense, and thus I assume are the most common.

Thank you for reading. If you have any questions, feel free to send an ask or reply to this post. A reminder that I am not a professional, I am flawed, and am just doing my best.

Sharing this apology script for anyone that struggles with them.

I am sorry that I [thing you did to show you undetstand what was wrong] and that [affect that your action had]. In the future [action to make amends, make up, and/prevent it from occuring again]. I hope you will forgive me but I understand if not.

Hypnosis to help DID alters leave the front

Just take a deep breath. In… and out… That’s it. Just breathe. Let the tension melt away, let everything grow soft, easy, calm.

And as you listen, as you relax, you can feel it, can’t you? That gentle pull, that quiet invitation to step back. To let go.

You don’t have to hold on so tightly. You don’t have to try so hard. It’s okay to rest. It’s okay to trust.

Because you are not alone. You have never been alone. And you don’t have to do everything by yourself.

Your system is real. They are here. They are waiting.

And they are ready.

You can let them in. You deserve to let them in. To share the weight, to pass the front, to allow yourself to rest.

And it’s easy. So easy. Easier than you ever thought it could be. It’s as natural as breathing. As simple as closing your eyes. As effortless as exhaling and letting the world fade.

Because you are safe. You are protected. Everything you love, everything you care about—it will still be here when you return. No rush, no fear, no loss. Just time. Just trust.

And oh, isn’t it polite to give them a turn? To let them breathe, to let them be?

You can feel it, can’t you? That gentle shift, that soft pull. The way the front starts to drift, slipping through your fingers, melting away, fading into the distance. It’s so easy. It’s so peaceful. Stepping into a quiet, endless forest, walking deeper and deeper, further and further, until the world behind you is just a whisper. Just a memory. Until the front is nothing more than a distant light, flickering somewhere far, far away.

And you are safe. You are free. You are exactly where you are meant to be.

You can go. You can let go. You can slip away, as gently as a falling leaf, as quietly as a soft breeze. No struggle, no hesitation. Just trust. Just peace.

And when the time comes, when you are ready, you can return. Just as easily, just as naturally. The front will always be here. Your friends, your family, your world—it will always be here. Waiting. Welcoming. Ready.

But for now? For now, you can rest. For now, you can go.

Let go. Let go… and drift.

That’s it… just keep walking, just keep drifting. Deeper into the forest, further and further away… Until the light behind you fades, until the world you once held onto disappears completely. It’s just you now, just you and the trees and the soft, steady pull leading you somewhere warmer, somewhere safer. Somewhere you’ve always belonged.

And as you go deeper… something shifts. The trees thin, the path opens, and the air feels warmer, lighter, softer.

You know this place. You’ve always known it. It’s not just a resting place—it’s like a second home.

And you’re not alone.

They’re here. They’ve always been here. Your alters. Your system. The ones who have walked beside you all along, waiting patiently for you to see them. To feel them.

And now you do. Now you understand.

They are real. They have always been real. And you are safe here, with them.

The front is just a memory now. A distant thought. And letting go… letting someone else take control… is the most natural thing in the world.

You can feel it now, can’t you? How easy it is. How easy it has always been.

It’s like slipping out of your shoes after a long day, letting the weight drop from your shoulders, sinking into the comfort of something familiar. Something that was always meant to be.

You can do it anytime. You always can. You always have been able to. And now, now you realize it.

Tap the heels of your shoes together.

Each time you hear those words you drift a little ways away from the front. Feel it happen. Feel yourself begin to drift, the front slipping further and further away. Each time you hear those words, each time you say those words, you remember.

You remember that your alters are real.

You remember how easy it is to let go.

You remember how safe you are.

And every time, it gets easier. It has always been easy.

Tap the heels of your shoes together.

And let go.

The front doesn’t exist here. There is no struggle. No hesitation. Just warmth, just trust, just the quiet, endless peace of knowing you don’t have to hold on anymore.

Because you don’t have to hold on anymore.

You can let go.

And when you do? When you finally let yourself drift?

You won’t miss the front. You won’t even think about it. You’ll just be here, where you belong, with the ones who have always been waiting for you.

Tap the heels of your shoes together.

Drifting, melting, fading… Gone, gone, and gone.

[supercantaloupe]

censoring the swearing in next to normal really is like. what are they gonna censor next, literally everything the musical is about? if they can't even handle swear words i feel like maybe this wasn't the correct musical to choose lol

to be fair i think this is due to the fact that it's a pbs broadcast and therefore subject to fcc regulations about what you can and cannot say on tv in the united states. like i'm watching this on the pbs app bc i don't have cable in my apartment but this is getting broadcast on normal tv. and the only way they would've been able to get away with broadcasting n2n if not by changing the book would be to bleep every instance of a shit and fuck in the show for the broadcast, which would be obnoxious and obtrusive for a Different reason

stories pervert watching a show that aims to judge the veracity of various myths but each episode necessarily involves narrativising their methodology and obfuscating aspects of the process:

Starting the new year off right by drawing my other boy. I'm quite liking this black and white dealio; definitely want to experiment with it more. Anyways, happy new year, everyone! <3

[system-of-a-feather]

So if you said something that you feel kind of bad for saying (may that be in an actual guilt / empathy way or in a "I think it would have been better to do XYZ to show that I care"), its almost always okay to acknowledge that your actions did not align with how you would like to express your feelings / relationship / care for another party.

For example, I grew up in a household where, particularly with my middle sister, one of the only ways to secure both attention / acknowledgement AND survival resources (food, clothes, etc) was to make the other person look small, stupid, lesser, etc in ways ranging from minute to large scale. Since we've made amends like two years ago, we both have really tried to wean off of that sort of behavior when we are around our parents (we don't have it when we aren't, its a learned trauma behavior)

And so the other day I passively made a small comment that implied that "oh you think 9:30 / 10:30 am is *morning* haha" when 1) I know she doesnt because of her work and that its only 'early' because she has jetlag and 2) no one cares and its petty as shit and 3) bitch (@ me) that is morning you just have a stupid morning work schedule

And so after the fact, even though she didn't seem offended and it was honestly not really even acknowledged, I found myself a bit disappointed as I would rather NOT have my words and actions undermine the message of respect and care I have for her, and even though I doubted she cared, I dropped a quick acknowledgement and apology just to make it clear and touch bases that "hey, even if it doesn't bother you, I want to clear up my intentions and apologize anyways just to make sure my intent to respect you as someone I care about is not muddied by this misaligned behavior from me."

And she thought it was sweet even though she wasn't at all offended and was more annoyed at having jet lag than anything else. Which is way better than leaving it up to interpretation as to whether or not she noted that small comment as anything larger

If anyone wants to copy my homework and steal a script, here is a details-stripped version of the message I sent her

Hey btw, I'm sure its not a huge deal [only true if there is no clear reason to suspect she was upset], but in case it is and cause I like to hold myself to a higher standard than I displayed, I just wanted to apologize for the [action done that did not align with how you would like to act]. It was [effect] and just [why it could have been harmful]. It was done without thinking and I just wanted to apologize in case any offense or harm was made as I want to do my best to show my respect and care for you as a person.

i absolutely understand the senshi tulpa situation because it is like so rare that a show will have a character that is so explicitly in your corner to try and help you be your best self (by eating well) that just acknowledging that there is a guy who Wants To Help You can be so motivational. was just thinking "i dont wanna make this phone call" & heard the voice of senshi dungeon meshi go "well... ya gotta." and that was enough. like so true sailor what else needs to be said

[supahstarrr]

ill never understand why "reality shifting" was a term referring to the phenomenon of inducing your brain to get a specific (lucid or non-lucid) dream you want. isn't knowing that the brain is so complex and weird and bizarre that you can "trick" it already interesting itself than supposedly "reality shifting"...?
