i don't think i'll ever get used to that feeling of pure happiness when the people around me acknowledge my system/plural identity .. in a good way, of course.
it's just not the same as someone remembering things about you collectively. it tells me that i matter to those people enough for them to remember and recognize me as different people.
whether its "subtle" like how my partner tends to greet us by our specific name when we text them, or a friend being able to remember things a specific alter said/did as an individual. or more specific things, like the times our boyfriend/partner sys forgot for a second we aren't in separate bodies. and how he sends us random images near daily captioned "this is so (alter name)"
really, no matter how subtle it is, we do notice. and it makes us just as happy every single time. every little thing adds up and makes us feel happy and comfortable being "we" and not "i."
plural validation matters!! whether coming from a non-system or another plural, it all means a lot.
this has been sitting in my drafts for weeks, oops. i remembered it because another friend specifically wanted to show reffy something because they knew he’d appreciate it (they said “get the goober” lol) and it made us both really happy. so i wanted to add that.

Here’s some positivity for headmates who have been dormant!
For many headmates, re-emerging from dormancy can be a disorienting, confusing, or scary experience. Many headmates may discover that their system and circumstances have changed drastically while they were dormant. To every headmate who has resurfaced from dormancy, we want to uplift you and show you some support! So here’s to all the headmates who have been dormant in the past!
🌙 Shoutout to headmates who had been dormant for over a decade!
🪐 Shoutout to headmates who are struggling to readjust to life after dormancy!
⭐️ Shoutout to headmates who have missed out on major life events or things they had been looking forward to due to dormancy!
🚀 Shoutout to headmates who are having difficulties socializing and connecting with the rest of their system after their dormancy!
✨ Shoutout to headmates who can’t remember anything that happened to their system while they were dormant!
🔭 Shoutout to headmates who have emerged from dormancy only to find that their system or the world around them has changed drastically while they were gone!
💫 Shoutout to headmates who have resurfaced after being forced into dormancy by another headmate or an outside factor!
🛰 Shoutout to created headmates that went dormant for some time due to a member of their system forgetting about them or being unable to work with them!
🌟 Shoutout to headmates who feel lost and confused about their purpose in life and their system after their dormancy!
🛸 Shoutout to headmates who emerged from dormancy with no memories whatsoever, even if the rest of their system can remember them from before they went dormant!
Dormancy is a morally neutral occurrence and a natural, common phenomenon in many systems! It can absolutely be scary and challenging re-emerging from a dormancy, but if you or someone in your system is going through this, we want to remind you that you’re not alone and everything’s going to be okay! It’s not too late to enjoy the small things in life and try to figure out how you want to spend the time you have.
To every headmate who has resurfaced from dormancy, know that we see you, we understand your struggles, and we are wishing you a bright future filled with comfort and delight. Know that you are so loved, and you are allowed to exist as you are now - even if you don’t know much about yourself or feel lost about your future! Please do you best to take it easy, be gentle with yourself, and have a wonderful day!

one of the most important things about dissociative identity disorder and generally being a system that i wish people would understand is that it truly isn’t as cut and dry as it may seem for member count.
you’ll see people who say they have “six alters” and then immediately assume it’s six fully fleshed out equal individuals with no confusion or fuzziness regarding identity. that’s simply not true in a majority of cases, as i have seen.
most systems still VERY much deal with confusion regarding potential splits, go through dissociative episodes where they’re unsure of who they are, sometimes feel no attachment towards any identities, feel like they might have split and then suddenly that person is gone, unsure if alters they haven’t heard from often have gone dormant, not sure how to react when alters do come out of dormancy, etc.
it’s not a fun feeling and it’s genuinely unfair in certain situations to force systems to list every single alter to you with full certainty, as if it will never change. because it will. for so many different reasons, systems will grow, they will shrink, they will fuse, they will develop. you can’t expect the person with the dissociative disorder and lack of core identity to be able to keep up a perfected list of forever, it’s simply impossible. you may have alters who stick with you, but that doesn’t mean changes won’t happen.
and systems who may be reading this — please don’t feel bad. you are not a hassle, you are not a headache, and you are not an inconvenience for simply coping with something like this. it’s out of your control and the only thing you can do is continue to cope to find ways to help yourself retrain from these reactions. please don’t allow yourself to be harmed by others who don’t understand what you are going through. there are people who will accept and love you for who you are, all of you.
past, present, and future.

plurality is not defined by switching.
plurality is not defined by headcount.
plurality is not defined by an inner world.
plurality is not defined by distinct headmates.
plurality is not defined by communication.
plurality is not defined by getting along internally.
plurality is not defined by an origin.
plurality is defined by multiple consciousnesses/identities in one body. if you say you’re plural, we and many, many others will always believe you. no two plurals are the same, and no one can tell you what you are or aren’t 💞

Shout out to systems whose abusers tried their best, but failed.
It can be so, so hard to have the good with the bad. You’ll remember the good times — the things they did right, the stuff you remember fondly — and think “it couldn’t have been that bad, if I still have these good memories.”
It can be. Two things can be true at the same time. Your abusers could have loved you so, so much, and done so much right — and still fucked up.
Shout out to all those with a complicated relationship with their abusers. Shout out to those whose abusers did their best to love you, but never could the way you needed. Shout out to those who weren’t purposefully abused, but still suffered.
Your suffering is seen here, and it is just as valid as anyone else’s.

I LOVE YOU SYSTEMS
YES YOU TOO
Even if you were told that you are gross
Even with alters with PrObLeMaTiC Source (don't care, you aren't your fucking source!!!)
Even if your persecutors and protectors act like pieces of shit (they are trying and are fucking up. A lot of times. But they're trying!!)
Even if your littles are sexual protectors (VALID) (YOU DON'T CHOOSE ALTER ROLES)
Even if you can't heal right now
Even if you are happy that you are system
Even if you ARE NOT happy about being system
Even if you have NO CLUE what tf was your trauma
Even if you have your trauma 360° full HD scarred into your brain
If you want to know your trauma and if you don't
If your system is full of abuse (don't say you are bad person, you aren't, your brain tries to COPE)
Even if your trauma was "not enoth", even if it was "too much"
Even if you don't love yourself
Especially if you don't love yourself
I am here for you

symptom holders don't have to be constantly, miserably affected by their symptoms (same goes for trauma holders and memories)
protectors don't have to be constantly on edge and hostile
caretakers don't have to constantly be gentle and patient
persecutors don't have to constantly hate & hurt
socializers can be bad at or avoid socializing
we are complex, we are not always the way our roles are viewed, we are also not JUST our roles in a system, we are allowed to be contradictory.

please do not let online system spaces convince you that you need to label and have every single thing in your system figured out. that’s an extremely unrealistic goal and you’re not any sort of faker for not knowing every single thing.
just be.

I'm being so real with you all, stop trying to appeal to fakeclaimers.
I am diagnosed with DID, in treatment, have an extremely covert presentation, and pretty much ONLY talk about having DID online. I got the trauma to show for it, which I've been open about before, and I'm heading for final fusion. I don't get mad when people fakeclaim me and just shrug it off bc I know I'm not.
I still get fakeclaimed.
You're never gonna win. You're always gonna be faking in their eyes, whether you are or aren't. No matter how many qualifications you have, they will never believe you.
So just stop trying. Be yourself, be weird about it.
