the trojans social media au (pt. 27): the jean and shawn texts were actually included before but with min instead but then someone asked if min isnt actually a girl AND NOW I DONT EVEN KNOW???? so if anyone knows PLEASE elaborate😭 also when i did some stalking to find out min’s pronouns i found out min is literally in an established relationship with xavier so either way it wouldn’t have made sense… 😭

ALSOO in my mind the shane’s tweet is about kevin day and i kinda want to have them flirting around a lot when the summer olympics era of the au starts but idk maybe y’all will literally hate it and think it’s weird especially bc im trying to keep this as accurate as possible but also i’m a bisexual kevin truther but then again idek if anyone read these little notes at the end so maybe i’ll do an individual post for this take but i’ve put down some headcanons for now

so many notes today BUT the out of pocket shawn tweet (OSHA) was inspired by a tumblr post @amberlouigi sent me saying it reminded them of shawn hehehe and shawn’s tweet about jean’s lore was inspired by an inbox from anon so ily’all thank you <333

"Stop romanticizing DID/OSDD and treating it like it's cool or fun!"

Actually how about no.

So something we've been thinking about lately was our syscovery. We speedran communication and acceptance. The first two headmates we knew about went from "What if we're a system?" to making out on the headspace couch in like, 2 days. Doubt died in like, 2 weeks to a month later. We discovered everyone already in the system after maybe 6 months? Maybe less, maybe more (hehe memory issues). Every therapist we've talked to about our system (okay so 3) has commented positively on our communication and system goals.

This isn't a brag (although we are pretty proud of this). No it's something we've on and off been examining to figure out why. Were we lucky? Are our barriers weaker? Did we make it all up and give ourselves DID?

What we keep coming back to is that opening line. We did romanticize it. We did treat it like it was fun and cool. We came at it with excitement and enthusiasm and curiosity. Faye abandoned all claim that the body and life were hers alone, embracing the weirdness and opportunity of being plural. She welcomed the idea of sharing it and having headmate friends. All of those things that "diminish, belittle, and trivialize" people who "really" have a disorder.

And the funny thing is, we don't deny this disorder at all. It's not all sunshine and rainbows. It never was. There's internal abuse. There's memory issues. There's trauma. There's fucked up shit.

But we think we got a head start on all of this work by thinking it's cool! We eagerly listened for our headmates' voices. We reveled in switching. We built headspace for fun and only found "real" uses for it months or more later.

So idk, maybe no, treating it as cool and fun isn't harmful. Maybe it's something that can help. Maybe some system out there can build some trust and safety internally with this approach.

I think it's so wonderful that you have a whole complex life outside of this site, but going "what horse would my gay dog be" with a bunch of strangers online is also part of it. It's so silly, it's such a part of a bigger picture. It's so insignificant, it's so very important

the interesting thing about we are is that i believe it's the first bl i've ever seen that truly has one main character. there is a reason why phuwin is the most overworked of them all and why he jokingly complained about the fact that pond wasn't suffering nearly as much as he was, even though he is his on-screen partner. and there is a reason why phuwin said that peem is also the audience in a way because he kind of gets to witness and react to almost everything that happens in the series.

the world of we are is built around peem: it's him and his boyfriend and his best friend and his best friend's boyfriend and the rest of his friends and also his boyfriend's friends. even the things that are seemingly not connected to peem in a particularly direct way are still somehow influenced by him or perceived by him, e.g. tanfang happens because phum agrees to help tan hit on fang in return for meeting up with peem, and then when tan spills the beans about them dating, peem's reaction is centered slightly more than anyone else's, even though there are people who are closer to fang and similarly close to tan in that scene. and though we get insight into phum's life too, for instance, that still somehow circles back to peem, e.g. most phumfang scenes are them literally discussing peem or talking about their parents, which still comes back to phumpeem, as phum's family problems have a huge effect on the boys' relationship.

peem is the sun of the show, and the rest are planets revolving around him or moons of the planets revolving around him in one way or another.

I'm listening to a lot of Maintenance Phase (bc I love it) and this comes up sometimes, so I'll just be sat here thinking about how common it is for little kids to grow up watching their moms and other women in their life jump from diet to diet. Just as ambient background noise in your childhood, the adults around you obsess over calories aloud, express guilt over eating enjoyable food, frame exercise as a form of punishment for eating, and so on.

if we are talking about the lost dream lover/daisy scenes from act 1 then we should talk about why those scenes were so good and why the loss of that storyline is so disappointing. because it's not just "oh those scenes looked better or whatever" it was a completely different character and storyline.

even though the companions pushed back way more and the whole narrative was telling you to resist the dream lover, it was somehow far more tempting. you were constantly tempted in dialogues to use your powers and if you did, you slowly started to lose yourself, the narrator said you could feel something slipping away, something you will never get back. You were giving yourself over to the fantasy, a mindflayer illusion

the game asked you during character creation "who do you dream of at night?" obviously meaning "what are you attracted to?" rather than just "you need a guardian. choose one." there is already a different implication there. I wonder how people interpret "guardian" if they don't know about the original dream lover. they might not even create someone they find tempting. a guardian sounds more like a mentor figure, rather than your ideal fantasy partner.

During early access the dream lover not only offered us power, they also showed us a tempting future where we are powerful and important and beloved and we are ruling the world. such universal temptations and desires. and we were resting on a peaceful field with the person of our dreams. it was peace in the dream world vs the real life struggle.

In the end it seemed obvious where this was leading... if you use the tadpole too much, you would have turned into a mindflayer. and whatever is left of your individuality and consciousness would have stayed in that fantasy world with your perfect fantasy partner. the mindflayer illusion forever trapped you. the song "Down by the River" was written about this fantasy dream lover. and what a banger and creative storyline this could have been. what a tragic ending! to just give up, lose yourself in the fantasy, the easy way out. choose this beautiful fantasy over the imperfect real world. and choose your perfect imaginary partner over the flawed real people, your companions. truly I mourn what an incredible storyline this could have been. It would have resonated with basically everyone.

and you would have been constantly tempted. to avoid this fate you would need to struggle constantly while the easy fantasy is dangling in front of your face with a zero difficulty ability check.

turning into a mindflayer wouldn't have been something you have the option to choose. and you can get cured no matter how much you indulged in the tadpole powers. lmao I kinda hate that there is no consequence for any of that now
