ACTUALLY, TODAY’S EPISODE HAS KINDA MADE ME REALIZE A LOT.

Mainly the dynamic that the “bad guys group” had, yk? Like. KC and Bloodmoon and Eclipse (and Solar Flare). None of them really wanted to be around each other, huh?

It was less “the kill code family” and more “the outcasts that no one else wanted to be around.” It wasn’t a group like in UTMV where each member of the gang all bounced off each other in fun ways and truly cared for each other’s well being despite their status as “evil” or “villainous”. They were always toeing a line with each other.

They were always seeking each other out for a want or need rather than just because they could. KC took Bloodmoon under his wing out of pity, Bloodmoon stayed with KC because they could hunt together, and Eclipse only tolerated both of them because they were useful to have on his side rather than working against him.

None of them loved each other, especially not in a familial way. They just all had a mutual enemy who outcasted them and they were all useful to each other in some way. They were all just lonely and bored and bitter enough to be a “family.”

#xero says things #LIKE . AM I MAKING ANY SENSE ? #i’m still a dadcode truther tbh and i’ll love that dynamic forever #but it was so flimsy wasn’t it? #bm and kc were less father and son and just. a symbiotic relationship #just… #a tool to kc. always a tool. just like he said. #(< has had my understanding of these characters altered forever /pos) #sun and moon show #the sun and moon show #tsams #sun and moon show spoilers #tsams spoilers #killcode #bloodmoon #eclipse #sams killcode #sams bloodmoon #sams eclipse #xero thoughts and rambles

Alternative System Mind Mapping Method for Communication

[DISCLAIMER: This is not a professional or scientifically or anything really backed method, this is something coming solely from peer / personal experience.]

In regards to an anon ask earlier, I was thinking about it and one of the ways we've approached improving communication - particularly internal - in a way that is a lot less prone to flooding or dealing with trauma or anything too overwhelming - is by approaching it following the concept of Memory Webs

I haven't read up on them recently, but "Memory Webs" were a thing that our AP Psychology teacher in highschool made us do because the AP Psych test was term / jargon heavy. Memory in the human brain has been shown to be HEAVILY associative and the ability to remember and connect things tends to rely on following a "web" of connected topics, ideas, concepts etc from one idea to the next.

So in our AP Psych class, she gave us these GIANT books for Vocabulary Webs that we had to slowly work on, each of which required 6 other vocab words / related concepts, a summarized definition, and an image to represent it. By doing this, you added 6 cues to recall the word (increasing the chance you'd remember it), a visual cue, an episodic memory of working on it, and a definition - all in all improving how connected the word is to other concepts in your brain and making it easier to recall it.

I personally like to look at DID and our parts in a similar manner sometimes where the large issue is that a lot of the nodes in the web of associations are either disconnected or connected through a hard-to-find and/or small chain. In that sense, parts struggle to be held together because they are not associated concepts. It's hard to reach other parts because the dissociative walls (which in our unsubstantiated opinion is less a 'wall' and more so a lack of reinforced neural connections, so I would call them dissociative caverns) keep associations from forming

As a result, alternative to more traditional ways of mapping your system and parts, a method I've liked to internally visualize systems and navigating system dynamics is through a memory web manner. (I actually have never done it physically cause the Ray part of my brain - also the most prominent part writing this rn - rarely liked to front if he didn't have to and did a lot of stuff internally)

Here's a bit of a breakdown using six of our parts if any of you want to try it out.

We personally like it because it strips a lot of trauma and stress off of it and makes it a lot more of a positive and present engaging activity. For the purposes of this, I'll be using the free online app of Milanote cause we've used it before for OC associative webs and I think it'll do fine enough. (Honestly it actually might just be a good way to log alter information now that I'm looking at it if you are at a place in recovery where keeping track of that physically helpful)

So we can start by dropping down the parts we want to include in the form of boards

So from here, we have a bunch of disconnected parts. However, we find that a lot of these parts have things that mean a lot to them, that illicit a strong emotion or reaction from them.

Some parts may lack it more than others (often in our case trauma holders and/or trauma locked parts) and that's okay and to be expected. This is a visualization method and if there isn't much connecting a part that is 100% okay.

For demonstration sake, I will now add bubbles around each part of things that were pretty early apparent that each individual liked.

Also for the purposes of how I know our system works and how I plan to do this, I am actually moving Riku to the center and you will all see why Riku is such an S tier center point with this model

So you can see some connections forming.

Some key things you can take from this visual that also applied to earlier stags of how we connected

Lucille and Riku are and have always been pretty darn connected, they go back as one of the longest duos and were split almost as a pair to deal with academics

Chunn and Ray have a very shared interest of "I don't want to do anything leave me alone"

XIV literally was just a piece of shit early on and didn't have any immediate HARD connections with anyone largely because he never was interested in actually engaging in things he liked in a positive way as his "favorite emotion" at the time was "being pissed off"

Lin - an originally trauma stuck / loop - is very very poorly associated with anything that isn't overtly trauma related (and that is saying something cause Vocaloid is trauma related) and thus has very few connections to other parts

So looking at this though, there are a few things that have some similarities between parts. What you can do is make plans to try to foster the interests that you do have and try to generalize it a bit more to also encompass what interests other parts have. So lets engage in hobbies a little more - explore a few concepts that mean a lot to parts independently - and find some more generalized version of those hobbies

(forgot to add easy listening to Ray's and "only wearing monochrome*" to XIV's earlier) (*there are a lot of nuances and caveats)

Damn, look at that. It's messy and ugly to have in a 2D form. I absolutely hate it, this would be so impossible with our whole system. But HEY, it's very connected - and that's the goal.

Compared to the previous one, you can see how easily it can be for one part's interests to start to drift into another. Because they are largely and strongly associated features to each part, they are a lot more accessible when engaging in their shared / associated connections and interests which makes it easier for the them to stay together near the front, stay associated with one another, and work with and communicate with one another.

Of course anyone following this blog goes "Where tf is Birds" and that I left out because it would ruin the point of the web as it actually is one of our traditional "you are around the system a lot? okay pick a bird" which serves to 1) be a fun system culture thing 2) be a means of welcoming a part in and 3) helps establish a foundational connection; we do the same with music but with music its a lot more elaborate and I probably wont explain it for other reasons.

But overtime, by fostering interests that were already present and encouraging parts to broaden and generalize their specific interest a bit, you end up with a lot of overlapping associations that can greatly improve internal communication, co-fronting ability, and just general fluidity and easy of moving around the brain web.

It becomes a good way of trying to figure out what you can do to encourage and help build connections and associations between parts by seeing where things are similar / could have more overlap (combat and martial arts, different types of fashion, different types of music, different appreciation for arts, taking over the world, yada yada yada)

And you wanna know the coolest thing? When you step back from the whole web you can see certain things appear that stand out the most and have some of the most connections.

If you ever intend to go to Final Fusion, those are the things that will likely be the most prominent traits of your whole self

For us? [REDACTED BIRDS for the point of the demonstration], Music, Fashion, Taking over the World, Recovery and Healing, Buddhism, Martial Arts, Arts in general - they're all some of our largest traits that persist in almost all forms as individual parts, partially fused parts, and fully fused parts.

And the BEST part? Doing this didn't require us to touch trauma at all.

Of course in recovery that will come up cause PTSD doesn't ask permission, but its a very low stress way to help improve internal communication and engagement with one another.

Very short half-baked theory because I'm feeling chatty: my most ambitious theory for Dazai, in relation to the Book, is that he was there when it was created.

What little lore we have of the Book's nature so far could be hinting at the Book being a singularity. It's much stronger than any normal ability. It also cannot be destroyed through physical means... and abilities have no effect on it.

I don't know who, what, where, when or why Dazai would have been involved, but Dazai's ability has been said again and again to be very unique, unmatched and extremely rare. The Book was once in the hands on the Special Division, they had a Page to study before it was stolen by the Decay, the Book is supposed to be in Yokohama, and we have no idea when it was created (but know the study of singularities started during the war).

Dazai knew of the Book, but he talked about it only post-Guild arc, so it's 50/50 whether he knew about it beforehand or if he only learned of it through Atsushi, who had learned of it through Fitzgerald, who very well could have gotten that info himself from the Order of the Clocktower, since we meet him while he's talking business with Agatha (and being listened in on by Fyodor)

I still say Dazai could have been there with the ability users whose abilities were combined/exploited to create the Book. Either his own was used too or it developed itself at that moment. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

#conspiracy pushed even further: what if the Book was created during the war to end the war (and/or pick the winner) #but then those responsible for it went 'oh shit' as they realized there was this reality-altering tool they can't destroy just hanging out #so they sealed it #(was it used for the war? did a conflict emerge from its existence? what's up) #apparently i talk sometimes #bsd #bsd dazai #bsd theory #<- half-baked but I could probably turn it into an essay of different hypotheses of how when why

people be like “14 jobs are so brain dead!” while having a plogin that reduces the number of buttons on a job
