Needed to hear this ngl. Had a big dissociation ep the other day BC a dormant fictive was stressing over trying to separate exomemories from dormancy leaks 😬😮‍💨

hey! don’t think too hard about what happened when you were dormant! you will end up dissociating on the bathroom floor for 30 minutes! you will be cold and damp! it will be uncomfortable!

Ok so somebody decided it was a good idea to not make a note of this tumblr page in our little thingy app so...

We've been drawing a Fictives' SO, because Pinterest makes us want to draw stuff like that, and he cried when he saw it... Happy tears but still big cry for the big raah raah scary man with the messiest fucking eyeliner and the gym addiction. Doesn't help that their song was on when he saw it... Very touching moment.

Happy moments like that are few and far between... so it was nice to see him so touched by the sketches.

Random update over lol. I'll share the sketches if the artists and the fictive give me permission.

First on the list is some exomemories drawings! Keep an eye out. Also, if you guys want to know the names of alters first and foremost, please let us know. We won't be sharing the names of our littles at all and some adult alters don't want their names to be given out at all so some of us will only be known by descriptions or initials.

Hello!! We are gonna post system related stuff here including art of headmates, headspace and exomemories, we are gonna be talking about our own experiences as individuals within a system AND as a collective. We are a fictive heavy, traumagenic system. We will not be going into detail on the trauma as that is for us and our therapist to know about and work through (although we do understand and appreciate attempts at support). We hope you stick around and engage otherwise this is gonna seem so utterly deranged. 🙋‍♂️

TYPING QUIRKS:

"I/me/myself" refers to the system as a whole singular UNLESS otherwise stated, in italics or signed off. ("I went to the shop", "I saw person doing thing" OR "I remember thing - name", "I decided to go do thing - name")

"We/us/ourselves" refers to the system as a collective group, noting individuals within the system as separate often using bold text UNLESS talking about being within an external group. ("We decided it was best to do thing", "I asked and we came to an agreement about thing" OR "We went out and saw movie", "after activity, we all got food")

"They/Them/Themselves" either refers to the rest of the system that the speaker potentially opposes or in context, doesn't view themself as part of, often shown through small text, OR refers to Agender/Non-Binary/Gender-Non-Conforming alters, often indicated by small italics UNLESS talking about an external group. ("I wanted to do thing but they said that it's not the best idea", "name said they want to try thing" OR "While getting food, they suggested thing", "when we went to place, they did thing")

These typing quirks will be used by all alters to the best of each alter's ability. Oftentimes, these things will be discipherable through context but to help readers, we will do our best to stick to this set of quirks.

Thanks all!! -TheCCC
