Been promising a comeback for a while but life got in the way. Graduation a few months ago, gap year, looking for a job, living with family, drivers licence, etc. Been really busy so I didn't have the time to write. I now have some time! I might release some pt.2 of some stuff. I'll write for trigun but I've decided to write for some other fandoms too 👀. Chainsaw man has me on a LEASH(haha 👁). Genshin and JJK also... do pop in to suggest some stuff! I'll gladly write headcannons, full fics/oneshots will have to wait. I don't write smut! Best I can write is suggestive stuff lolol. I'm not comfy writing smut yet!

HEY, BITCHES!!!

ITS ANGEL! AND CHERRI!

And we’re here for your pleasure!

Come here and chill with us!

But we won’t do shit for free!

RULES‼️‼️

16+ ONLY! No exceptions! If you’re turning 16 in a month or sooner, that’s the only way I’ll let it slide! Otherwise, get OUTTA here!

This is a multiship blog, but I’m VERY selective with Angel Dust. I only ship Angel with men, and I currently only ship Huskerdust. DON’T RP AS HUSK THINKING I’LL AUTOMATICALLY SHIP ANGEL WITH YOU. Cherri is fine with everyone.

MOD DOES NOT EQUAL MUSE! These are very rude characters, but I’m not rude. I’ll be acting as them!

Do not, please, for the love of god, jump into an RP unless it’s FOR YOU. Don’t reblog the post. Just don’t. I may tag someone TO an RP but that’s only if needed. If you see someone else in an RP that wasn’t tagged, it’s because I’m dual wielding my blogs.

HAVE FUN!

The Collective You

[one system's brief advice about accepting the idea of the collective you]

One of the best pieces of system advice started from a tumblr post and was elaborated by my DID specialist. I can't find the original tumblr post that started it, so I'm making a little post of my own <3 Share the knowledge. and also hope that someone can link the original post lol.

When I was REALLY going through it™ with my first diagnosis w/ DID, and a lack of integration, all of my alters felt like separate individuals, some of us feeling as distanced as a coworker or a stranger altogether. We were just getting a grasp on internal communication between all of our subsystems, and it was rough. We felt so entirely differentiated that we were our own people trapped in one body. While I don't really care about what language you use, all alters in CDDs are a part of one person [there's only one body and brain]- the collective you.

So obvs, I'm scrolling tumblr like the chronically online doomscroller that I am, and I see this post that goes along the line of not knowing who you are, but knowing you are 'you', regardless of who you are [referring to alters]. And it said something like "we're all me enough to pick up our meds"- something like that. iirc it was a half light hearted, half advice post, but that was really good advice for me. I kind of internalized it after I processed it in therapy. It's actually why I have started to love parts language lately tbh.

After further processing this idea in therapy, Identity Confusion stopped mattering in the grand scheme of things. I focused less on worrying about who I was, and just focused on the fact that I'm me. Just like the post I saw- We are all me. The example of all being me enough to pick up my medications just applied, like, everywhere. Even when it came down to the smallest things- with coping with other symptoms too.

Oh? I don't like coffee right now? I guess I should switch to something else. [differentiated alters]

Oh? I have barely any drawing skills right now? Okay, really sucks but I can work on something else and come back to it later. [skill variance between alters]

Oh? I have to go to a doctor's appointment? I know I'll forget that- Gotta write a list, and put it up on the board so I remember. [day to day amnesia]

You know what happened? My dissociation got better! Not immediately or entirely, obviously, and my memory [re amnesia] still sucks, but that's part of the disorder- plus other disorders that I have. This idea of the collective you is something that I think is really beneficial to all CDD systems, especially during the mid to later stages of recovery.

I, admittedly, credit most of my healing to conversations I have had with my DID specialist. Especially since, without her, I wouldn't have been able to process this idea of the collective me further, but the conversation wouldn't have been started if I hadn't seen that post on tumblr. This was a budding concept with us due to the separation we had. It helped with integration. GRANTED... Not every alter got the memo, obviously, but It's something that I'm still working on. Of course, being me comes with the prerequisite that I am a person with DID, and that I am made up of multiple parts.

Now for the piece of advice I got from my therapist- Though it requires a certain level of knowledge of your own system, such as a list of alters and some identifying info [fav drinks, fav colors, those type of things]. Look at the list of your alters wherever it may be. Just whatever you use for logging your system members. Look for the commonalities between alters. There will be at least some commonalities.

For example; A good 45% of us like bunnies, 45% like cats, and 10% have a liking for other kinds of animals. Using this information, I can pretty much deduce that 1. the collective me loves animals and 2. the collective me likes cats and bunnies especially.

Another example; I looked through our simplyplural, which has a favorite color thing [in ours at least]. By looking through the list, I figured out 1. wow I like literally all colors- my fav color is rainbows and 2. I especially like pink and light blue.

More examples; the list.. THE LIST... I looked through it and saw that a good 90% of us like MONSTER ENERGY DRINKS- of varying flavors, but the common denominator was Ultra Strawberry Dreams, but all of us like [or tolerate] water as a preferred drink. From there I can come to the conclusion that I prefer water over anything else and that I have a problem with monster [being light hearted but I genuinely do].

I hope you get the idea I'm going for. I used this process for nearly every aspect of our collective identity, though some had to genuinely be voted on, such as our LGBTQIA+ labels [offline, we just call ourself queer, but that's.. aside the point LMAO].

Obviously, there are going to be outliers- Having DID comes with the fun [/s] aspect of alters being differentiated from each other in some capacity. Example for the monster energy one- We have a handful of alters that HATE energy drinks- even just fizzy drinks in general. There's one guy who will only drink Black Coffee and water- nothing else. He's the guy who is always hiding away our monsters in the way back of the fridge, but guess what!! He's me!! The part of me that doesn't want me to ruin my health over energy drinks. The part of me that knows I deserve better than my unhealthy habits.

Getting to know the collective you is just like learning about your system! It is not inherently different than figuring out what an alters dislikes or likes are. The idea of The Collective You shouldn't feel scary or anxiety inducing- if it is, you may want to confront those feelings with a therapist if you have access to one. Every CDD system is the collective [or, well, system] of one fragmented individual- That is a studied and objective fact. I wanted to give advice from one recovering system to another.

No, this will not work for everyone, every system is different, but I'm hoping this post finds the right audience in knowing that it's worth a shot to try this!

Curios is running 36 parallel processes to try and figure out how to ruin Amalgams day and all of them are losing. Amalgam is tryharding on max level and is probably running that bank with an iron fist. 42P is just here for a good time :)

Hello hello darlings <3 I'm an alter in a system. You may call me Bug.. that is not my actual name but I am keeping all information about me private for my systems sake. Despite what they think, I do care about them. That being said, I won't be sharing my stances on anything.

This is an archive blog, I archive everything, whether I support it or not. This blog is for everyone. I will not accept any form of hate.

Apologies if I spam reblog you..
