To all the systems who are going to school this year, have a good school year. It's hard to deal with school stuff with our disorder. I hope this year goes as smoothly as possible for you, and make sure to watch out for your mental health more than your grades.
You got this.🤎

Shout out to systems who are going through a lot right now, and really need a day off.
I'm having a hard time lately, and trying actively not to split due to things that are scaring me right now. Parts like myself who rarely front are fronting again, and I'm so, so tired. I know I'll get through it - I'm strong, confident, and capable - but it doesn't negate how exhausted it is to be traumatized.
I hope you can get your rest, friends! You deserve it. You deserve the time to recover and recoop. Make sure you get yourself some food and drink! Hydrate! Rest. Sleep :) Take it easy everyone!

Who?
Remus Lupin x DiD!Reader :D The marauders meet Y/n properly for the first time and she switches out mid-convo :(
Warnings: Jilly, uhh nothing else I don't think :>
Word count: 552
a/n: feel free to rename Y/n's other personality ya
(edit: part 2)
Tumblr media
“Met the new kid today, absolute weirdo,” James shrugged. Lily elbowed him in the ribs, gaining an exaggerated “ow!!” from him. “If I judged you that way I wouldn't be here, you fudgehead.”
Sirius chuckled. “Lily's right Prongs. What's so weird about this new girl anyways?”
Remus listened intently.
“She's super quiet, jittery…..And the weirdest bit is the rumors circulating about her–”
Remus perked up, “You mean that she never had a sorting ceremony?”
“I heard one moment she's Slytherin, and the next she's rocking our red and gold uniform,” James added. 
“Is that even possible?” Sirius wondered. Lily shrugged, “Maybe, if Dumbledore had something to do with it.”
Sirius whistled all of a sudden, drawing their attention to him. “Speaking of which…” He mumbled in a hushed voice, eyes diverting to the small sized girl that had just entered the common room.
Remus stood up, his mind was on autopilot, focused on greeting this beautiful new girl. 
~
She really wanted to make friends, something the rest of the system disagreed with. She sighed, wondering why Dumbledore had made her uniform ‘change houses’ everytime they switched causing so many rumors about them to circulate. Sure it made them feel like they could each be their very own person, but technically speaking they weren't, and they never will be.
A guy approached her when she entered the Gryffindor common room. He had lovely brown eyes and a scar on his face.
“Hi. You’re new here right?” He extended his hand to her. She shook it timidly, nodding. 
He smiled warmly, “I'm Remus, Remus Lupin. And you are?” 
She heard his friends snickering from a couch near the fireplace. She hesitated, “I- I’m Y/n.” 
“Nice to meet you, Y/n. Welcome to Gryffindor.”
She smiled back. This guy was nice. 
The both of them stood there awkwardly. 
“Er… Would you like to hang out with us?” Remus offered.
This caught her off guard a bit. “S-Sure! Only if your friends are okay with it though…” 
He laughed, “They'll be fine.”
~
“Guys, this is Y/n. Y/n, meet–” He inhaled, “Potter, Evans, Black and Pettigrew.”
I don’t think I can remember all that—
“Hi…” She smiled shyly.
In an instant, Y/n felt herself get pulled away, her vision blurred and her thoughts got all fuzzy……
She was dissociating.
Remus knew it seemed a bit rude but when Y/n flinched and then zoned out all of a sudden in the weirdest way possible, Remus found himself waving a hand in front of her eyes.
“You all good?” Lily asked, voicing everyone’s concern.
She gained awareness and muttered, “Yeah. Great… Who the heck are you people again?”
The Marauders exchanged quick glances before Sirius spoke up, “Remus just introduced us. D’ you have short term memory loss, Y/n?”
She put a hand behind her neck. “Amnesia, something like that.” 
Qi didn’t like these people already. Y/n was making friends, sure… That didn’t mean she had to like it…… or them. 
She got up and stretched. “I’m gonna go,” she paused. “The name’s Qi by the way. Not Y/n.”
~
“Told you she’s a weirdo,” James mumbled after she’d left. Lily sighed at her boyfriend’s crazy remarks. 
Remus on the other hand couldn’t wait to talk to the curious girl again.

reading old shitty poetry from middle school is so funny because half of them are about "i don't know who i am" and "i am not a person" and shit like that.
the audacity that i had to be surprised to discover the system.

I know my posts on here are mostly mental health related or memes or both but I just gotta get this out. My daughter is six years old. Her open house for kindergarten is today. My mom died in November last year, and every time I think I'm doing better, I end up in a situation that makes me think "I need to call my mom." And every single time I have the earth shattering realization, again, that I can't do that anymore.
It's just... I thought she would still be around for all this. I thought I'd be able to send her pictures of the first day of school, and graduations, and plays and performances and.... I don't know. It just... Hurts.

historians by cielalune [Rated M, 21508 Words, Complete, 2023]
He remembers when she didn’t smell of ash, but perfume. The times they’d play the radio to fill the quiet of the car, and she’d hum along. How she never missed a single exy practice, and cheered for him each time. She wasn’t all too different from Cass in the end. Just because she was dead didn’t mean she was buried. Five times Neil tries to come to closure about the person Mary Hatford was, and the one time he accepts who she came to be.

After the Beep by kanekei [Rated T, 1030 Words, Incomplete, Updated Sept 2023]

They sicken of the calm, they who know the storm by EdgySpaghetti [Not Rated, 3162 Words, Complete, 2023]
After storm there always comes the sun. People born into the storm, who growing up sees only black clouds and lightnings striking everywhere, just learn how to live with it, how to protect themselves from cold, wind and rain. They recognize the pattern, know that lightning will struck sooner or later and are prepared for it. What are those people to do when there is no more dark clouds? They don't know how to live in this environment, how to dress to not get too hot and how to prevent potential sunburnt. They never had to do that before. They're still expecting the lightnings.

I'll Come Back To You by mostly_maudlin [Rated T, 6900 Words, Complete, 2022]
Some of the things he’s learned today feel like stories about someone else: Neil switched to playing striker at a tiny high school in Arizona. Aaron lives in Chicago with his wife. Andrew’s cousin calls Neil every Tuesday, because Andrew is too stubborn to pick up the phone himself. But other things are clear truths, even if they’re more abstract: Neil’s mother died. Andrew is safe. Neil was supposed to stay, but part of him is gone. - - - - It's about dreams, reality, trust, patience, and determination. It's about making promises and keeping them. You'll figure out the rest.

Andrew is sitting across from him, expression neutral, fork in hand. He’d dragged the tinnes across the plate—purposefully, if Neil had to guess. Andrew has already cut the burrito up into tiny pieces and spears one morsel on the fork, lifting it to his mouth. “Hi,” Neil says. Andrew chews, very deliberately. “Do you feel better?” Neil frowns. “What?” Andrew eats another bite. “Did all that running make you feel better?” Neil sighs and glances down, noticing that his water has been refilled. He takes a sip. “No.”

A lonely Neil lets his therapist bully him into checking out the clinic's support group without too much fuss, but little did he know he wouldn't be checking out the group that day, instead meeting a dramatic hunk of a man who drives a fancy car and forgets to wipe the cream off the corner of his lip. It's only fair that Neil tries to do it for him, right?

Not dead, just gone. Never awake
My mind covers my ears, my eyes, I cannot feel my fingers.
I move on my own, I'm still not here.
And as I walk back home after a long day, my body still feels unreal.
I shout and cry, I cower away, I hide,
I never stay
...I'll never heal.

Tips for School as a System
With school time rolling around again (in about a month for us), we've decided it'd be a good idea to offer tips that help us to keep our grades up in school. Obviously every school and system is different, but these things definitely helped us last school year!
1. Before school even starts, we try to get gender neutral colored notebooks, as well as a variety of textures for pencils. The neutral colors may come in handy if a little fronts and has an issue with "gendered" things and the pencil textures help when dissociating. We've also recently been trying to decide a name to go by and pronouns to use, but since our host came out as nonbinary on our personal account for everyone to see, it seems like they chose for us. /lh Some suggestions would be your collective pronouns (aux pronouns if possible if you use neopronouns, as the school may not be accepting) and the collective name you use.
2. Try to get your schedule beforehand and try to familiarize yourself with your classes and where they are. If your school offers an open house, this could be a perfect opprutunity. Our school does this, but they also keep all the similar classes in the same hallways, which means if we know anything about where our classes were last year, we could figure out where our classes are based on subject. We also tend to have a second nature thing where we go to where our next class is naturally, which could be something others experience. We try to use this natural memory for remembering where classes are, and for our music classes because our rhythms are all the same.
3. We keep our phone in our laptop case with a sensory item, pencils, and other important things like led and earbuds. Things like notebooks, calculators, folders, etc. go into our big binder in case an alter fronts and doesn't know where our locker is/the combination but knows where our next class is (due to the reasons I previously said). This way we can keep what is definitely needed with us.
4. Speaking of supplies, we carry a waterbottle around with us. When we get too dissociated but can't go to the bathroom for cold water, we pour a little on our hands then rub them together to create the friction and an even bigger temperature difference. We also keep things like a rubber band on our wrist for the pain aspect mentioned in the dissociation help post as well as a sour candy in our locker/laptop case in case we need extra help and need to bring another sense back to help ground.
5. Most of our teachers allow(ed) us to use notes during quizzes and tests. Because they didn't see these notes, we took as many as we could and translated them into easier to read handwriting at home while filtering out what was and wasn't needed. Especially in things like our science and math subjects, we included examples of what to do and common mistakes that were made.
6. However not all our teachers allowed us to do that. Instead, we'd still take all the notes we could and translate them, but we'd spend hours reviewing them and hope that for quizzes and tests, the knowledge becomes like a second nature. Luckily we only had two classes like that: Choir (we have an alter specifically for those tests who somehow knows all our music) and Spanish (which we already know quite a bit of but aren't fluent in, so it's not as bad).
7. Unfortunately, triggers at school do exist. We try to avoid them as much as we can, but that's not always possible, especially in classes like English and history where triggering things are a part of everday conversations. To combat this, we've decided that if we know about the lesson plan in advance (most of our teachers tell us at the beginning of the week), we can try to plan a switch for alters more capable of handling it. It doesn't always work, especially since we don't have amazing communication, but it does to an extent.
8. We keep a planner. This helps us keep on top of projects, assignments, appointments, etc. which is hard enough with ADHD, but even harder when you don't even remember being told about it. We also have a color system for if things get done. If they're done, they get crossed off. If they're started but not done, they get orange highlighter. And if they haven't been started (for whatever reason), they get pink highlighter. This helps us know what the most urgent things that need to be done are.

Huh??
Part 2 of Who? as per @peachesgaeass's request :D
Remus x DiD!Reader microfic where Y/n has DiD and Remus develops feelings for her :>
Warnings: none :3
Word count: 674
Tumblr media
He never got a wave back whenever waved to her in the halls, nor reply when saying hi as she passed. Sirius looked at Remus with pity. He felt bad for him, Remy was just trying to be friendly. 
Remus was walking to class one day when someone tapped his shoulder from behind. He turned to face the very person that had ignored him the past few days.
“Hi! Remember me?” She smiled brightly at him
“Hi… Qi,” Remus mumbled, not wanting to give himself false hope.
“I'm not Qi… It's me, Y/n,” Y/n stuck out her tongue adorably awkwardly.
He really felt like asking her about the weird name switching but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
“Oh. Sorry Y/n… I uh–”
“Could you possibly show me the way to potions class? You see, I tend to get lost easily……”
Wasn't Y/n at potions class yesterday? Maybe…Maybe she did have amnesia.
Y/n tilted her head at him, “You okay Remus?”
“H-Huh, yeah– I zoned out, sorry…”
She giggled, “Happens to me all the time. No worries.”
The two talked for a bit as they walked, getting to know each other better. Then the question came out of nowhere……
“Y/n, would you like to go on a date with me?” Remus asked, feeling blush creep up to his ears.
“A date?”
“Y-Yeah,” he fidgeted with the hem of his robe, avoiding eye contact. “Th-Think about it, yeah?” He added as the door to the potions classroom opened for them.
Y/n just stood there, processing what Remus had just said.
Remus hurried into class and sat down next to the others round back, escaping the awkward moment he'd caused.
“What took you Moons? Slughorn's ‘bout to start,” said James who was smirking at him.
“Lost track of time is all…” Remus muttered, staring at his potions book as if it was the most important thing in the world.
“Riiiiight,” Sirius said, putting an arm around Remus’ shoulders. “Then why all this blushing Moony? Hmm??”
Remus knew he couldn't hide his little crush from them for long, so he was grateful when Sirius somehow let the topic slide.
Not long after Professor Slughorn started his lecture, the door opened and Y/n entered. Wait, that can't be Y/n right? Why's she suddenly wearing Slytherin robes?? Wasn't she with me a second ago? I could've sworn she was wearing red……
The professor stopped his lecture. “Qi! Just the person I was thinking about. Come here. Could you please tell us what this potion here is—”
Remus watched as she answered every question with flying colors and wondered how he'd plucked up the courage to ask someone as smart and lovely as Y/n– (Qi?) out. Well, that's if she says yes of course…
“Whatcha starin’ at Rem?” James’ voice cut through his long winded thoughts. 
“Amortentia,” Remus lied. “Wondering what I'll smell.”
Sirius gave him a glare, one he couldn't really decipher. James didn't spot the lie and went on about what he thought Lily would smell like but Remus, though relieved, couldn't shake the look Sirius had given him from his mind.

“You really like her?”
Sirius had taken him aside after class. Remus gulped, “I-I do.”
“R-Right, okay,” Sirius sighed. “Just take care of yourself okay? I don't want your feelings getting played.”
He nodded, “I won't. Thanks Pads.”
Remus was deep in thought as he walked towards his next class of the day…
“Remus! Hi- Hi…” 
“Huh?” He turned to face whoever had called him. “Y/n? Why are you in Gryffindor robes– Didn't I see you wearing Slytherin ones in class?” Remus blurted, not wanting to leave this mystery for his brain to solve.
“Er– Right, you must’ve saw someone else— Oh! I would love to go on that with you by the way,” she beamed.
“Really?” Remus smiled back, the uniform thing slipping his mind.
“Mhm.”
“G-Great!” He felt himself fill up with joy, “Meet you in the astronomy tower at seven?”
“Okies.”
a/n: Is Sirius jealous? :>
