#uncommon occurrence there

[oursystemblog]

hi this is something difficult to ask because you may not know the answer. but do "you" (host?) actually just black out and wake up hours later or do "you" feel conscious the entire day. like how does time even work to you.

Different systems can have varying levels of memory loss—full blackouts/periods of amnesia between alters are personally not a symptom we experience, but they are common especially in DID

What we get is that we're "conscious" the whole time but have emotional amnesia between alters, which is kind of like having no emotional connection to the memories of what happened while another alter was fronting—we recognized this as "why do some of my memories feel like they're In Grayscale" even before we knew we were a system which is kind of funny i think

me: why do I feel tired and drained like I went for a hike even though I've barely done anything physical today?

me ten minutes later: oh yeah I forgot I'm on my period minor blood loss will probably do that to a gal huh

Six minutes before art fight ended, I finally got this down to a size that would fit! Somehow, this is the second year in a row I've ended up targeting @floralete in the very last few hours of the event, except that I wasn't on here last year. This time, the casualty was Confetti the clown.

Uncommon occurrences at the facility:

- Waking up with Nathan

Call it his body clock, his biorhythms, what have you, but Nathan Bateman keeps odd hours. He has for as long as you’ve known him, and as long as you’ve been at the facility. It’s not uncommon for you to stir at some hellish hour at the feeling of Nathan crawling into bed beside you, but you’re usually able to drop off again soon after. By the time you wake up to start your day, the genius is usually already up and at it—working out, or back at his computer. 

So to feel yourself waking up for the day as Nathan artlessly clambers into bed is a surprise.

“...Don’t tell me you’re just coming to bed now,” You grumble, eyeing the bedside table, it’s green numbers glaring 6:03.

"No. There's a fucking blizzard,” Is Nathan’s mumbled answer. “It's hitting harder than I thought. I could barely see my fucking bag.”

He’s skin is chilled, like he went out without a coat or a warmer layer on—and hell, maybe he did. Nathan says he finds the chill bracing, first thing in the morning. You always ask if he’ll find it just as bracing when he catches hypothermia.

Nathan curls an arm around your middle, his other hand reaching down to draw the covers back up and around the two of you. You smile, raising a hand and tenderly smoothing it over his head.

“Nathan,” You mumble as he curls you tightly against his body.

“Mm.”

“I have work.”

“No you don’t.”

“Yes I—”

“I am declaring a snow day. We’re staying in bed. Besides, you’re always complaining that we never cuddle, or that I don't spend enough time with you, whatever. Just…” His fingers splay wide, tickling and chilling as they smooth down your side, “Just go back to sleep.”

Your stomach twists with affection as he cuddles his head against your chest and closes his eyes.

“Such a low maintenance request from such a high maintenance genius,” You tease. You squirm, giggling as Nathan nips at your shoulder.

“Keep it up, honey,” He warns against your skin, “And we’ll be boxing in the snow.”

hey fellow anglophones if you want to be better about pronouncing people's names right instead of pestering every foreign person to coach you on their name for ten minutes while you moan and whimper and self flagellate consider just watching some videos in that language (just regular videos where people are talking not like instructions on that language), try repeating some phrases that catch your ear, until you can distinguish between where words and phrases begin and end and what kind of sounds seem to come up a lot and what the rhythm of the language is and how it feels in your mouth. It doesn't take much time and gets faster the more you do it, you're probably watching YouTube after work anyway, and there's a good chance you'll learn some jokes or references from the culture while you're at it. Looking up the alphabet will help form a picture of what kind of sounds a language is made up of, too, which helps with getting a feeling for pronunciation based on spelling. And if you end up memorizing the alphabet it becomes much easier to find what you need at the African/Asian/European grocery store.

Just stop being so fucking weird about pronouncing things.
