One of the most annoying parts about being a system is when your alters do stupid fucking shit and it’s up to you to fix it.

[the-io-collective]

ily system protectors. it's okay that you can't prevent everything. it's okay that you aren't in a safe situation yet.

you didn't fail. you are not a failure. it's okay.

[the-io-collective]

you actually don't owe anyone who hurt you a chance to explain why they did it. btw.

breakup snap splits are built different

love you, sweetie -- WHY ARE YOU LIKE THAT

[the-io-collective]

"just one more chance" you literally told our mutual friend you don't like us??? the fuck??

no masks here, babes. we ALL see you.

sometimes. things don't work out. just because someone sees you one way does NOT mean you have to see them the same way.

you don't owe anyone shit.

no one deserves to feel like a toy.

we told you we didn't want forever.

people hallucinating can't consent.

you don't spring an intox kink on someone when they're already drunk.

i saw how you treated my protector like shit until he was inebriated. then you wanted something sexual.

the parts you latched onto were the ones he was interested in.

"there are minors in front for me!" "okay, i'll stop posting sexual shit in a second." no. that is when you stop and check in.

telling kinks to my shapeshifter that you knew would change themself to please others.

this is me being nice.

do not contact my system. i will make it hurt.

p.s., consider watching this without trying to debate it.

"omg you have littles? they must LOVE being babied!" "omg you have a persecutor? they must be very dangerous and evil..." "omg you're a protector? you must-"

*bashes your head with a metal pipe* shut the hell up

jokes to make after failure that aren’t self-deprecating:

I’m the best to ever do it

Nobody saw that (best if said loudly)

No one’s ever done it like me

I could be President/they should make me President

Behold, a mere fraction of my power!

The public wants to be me soooooo bad

I’m an expert in (thing you just failed at)

How could this have happened to god’s favorite princess?

Nothing ibuprofen and a glass of water cant fix

I’m being sabotaged

[the-io-collective]

maybe this is just bc im autistic but i need to shake people and explain that OSDD-1A and 1B are carryovers from DDNOS in the DSM-V and aren't diagnoses anymore

[the-io-collective]

"OSDD / DID must be so fun!!" i am trying to drive to work and i can hear another part of myself screaming.

shoutout to mood boosters. remember, you're okay to be sad sometimes too. that doesn't make you a failure. your feelings are valid. you aren't only what you can do for others.

[the-io-collective]

reminder that no matter what anyone says, you did not deserve what happened to you. especially when you were a child.

[the-io-collective]

If you wouldn’t say it to an abusive relationship survivor, don’t say it to an abusive group survivor.

[the-io-collective]

sometimes sys culture is describing people from your past as "yeah, the bitch that gave us this part"

love u, ace. the person that made u split is a bitch.
