m not an expert or anything btw. i'm a layperson who has done a bit of reading:
alters can't die.
hosts r also alters. there's no original.
ep 5 was really triggering to a lot of people. pls keep that in mind.
steven is not "less real" than marc.
did is a covert disorder that's meant to hide.
it's also more than alters disorder.
pls don't base your understanding of it on a marvel tv show basically
amnesia is complicated. idk what's going on but yes it's possible for marc to not have been the one to take the abuse and still end up with the memories of it. (hi.)
switching is not obvious. (that said marvel gets a pass for "it's a visual medium they need to show it somehow.")
they're not personalities.
alters protect the System (tm). the host is just a role in the system.
steven did not form to cope, their brain formed a system to cope.
no seriously this episode was very triggering for a lot of people. tag things appropriately. don't go up to random systems and ask for their thoughts. be sensitive to trauma survivors.
people r going to have different opinions on moon knight's portrayal of did. it's a tv show, do your research, all that stuff. s'okay to get things wrong, but pls try ur best.

Listening to a podcast discussing conspiracy theories and deconstructing the ideas behind them and it's reminded me of the coolest practical lessons in critical thinking I ever got, both in high school, both from the same teacher. One was a month long project on who killed jfk in which we could basically present any theory as long as we cited all our reasons and it got us really excited about research and interpretation, but it was the follow up that I liked best.
Our next project she brought us into class and showed us a documentary claiming the moon landing was faked. Gave us worksheets to do that sided with that stance. And at the end of class a bunch of us were like miss wait this doesn't seem right?? and she said okay, we'll discuss that next week. The next lesson, she showed us a mythbusters episode countering all the claims of the original documentary and gave us worksheets for that, and another bunch of people went wait miss you can't teach us two opposing things, which one is right? What do we put on the exam??
So she split the class in two and told us each to present a case based on each side, and to explain why our source was or wasn't the more reliable of the two. Got us to debate each other directly and use additional sources to back us up and explain why those sources were reliable and should be believed. And because they were randomly assigned there was no guarantee you'd agree with the stance you were presenting, but you had to present it like you did. At the end of the project she asked us all which stance we found more convincing and why, and the majority of us basically said "we think that the moon landing is real because most of the arguments against it seem like someone reacted to a confusing thing without testing it, but when you test it and ask the person running the test to explain the science it makes sense once you have more information. Also, one documentary was made with the help of scientists with qualifications and experience and the other was made by people who don't have that but like to write mystery books, which looks like a less reliable way to get an answer. But we still dont understand why you showed us both if one is wrong."
And she was like excellent. You've done exactly what you should do. At high school level, we as teachers are expected to filter for the reliable sources for you, so you know to repeat that to pass an exam, but if you want to be historians on your own, I won't be your teacher any more once you graduate. Lots of people have opinions and theories and research about times in history, and it's your job to learn how to look at them and decide who you want to trust. This won't be on the exam, but I need you all to know it. You all did a great job following the school's instructions to repeat information you were given, but for some of you, that information wasn't on a reliable foundation. I know you all know how to pass an exam. You're smart and you've been trained to follow these instructions. What you deserve to be taught is how to use all this once you don't have to do exams any more.
And then as a reward for us doing a good job at figuring out the value of checking your sources' sources she let us watch Bush get hit in the face with a shoe before we had to go to maths. Shoutout to you Ms Hannah you were a good'un I hope you're doing well ten years on from that class

satoru was your personal rose toy. he latched that mouth around that clit and got to work with whatever you wanted, and his reward was your squirt.
he never had any complaints and would always smile widely when you told him you were horny and needed to use his mouth.
this started when you saw online that people were using a sec toy called a “rose” saying it worked wonders and had to use one so of course out of pure curiosity you ordered one.
when it arrived, you were so giddy to try it, and it had you bouncing off the walls and your sheets covered in your fluids.
it had you off the moon that you would use it every-time satoru wasn’t at the house and one lucky day satoru caught you. even though he was harder than a rock, he was annoyed that you were getting off on that thing.
so he did the only thing he could think of at that moment and from his selfish, greedy needs. snatching the toy out your hand and throwing it away telling you that any time
you wanted to get off to just tell him, and oh boy did he hold up to that.
at first, you laughed at the theatrics and thought he was just going off on a whim, and the first day he would be tired of fucking or eating you out every minute, but you thought wrong.
every time you uttered out a “satoru” with a pout, he was on top of you, ripping off your clothes, giving your pussy exactly what it needed at that moment.
it was like having a bell and every time you ring it he would come running giving you whatever you needed.
even though the rose felt good and felt as though it was sucking your soul out, satoru’s mouth and dick felt way better, it had that euphoric feel, it had you craving him, it had your mouth dry for more.
you knew after the first orgasm around his dick that you wanted him to keep fucking you so he complied. he never had any complaints about it, and would fuck you like he hadn’t seen you in a month.
“i want to keep fucking you like this. you feel so fucking good.”
even if he wasn’t around he would talk
to you on the phone and guide you through an orgasm that had your screams bouncing off the walls.
he wanted you to himself, so he would do anything and i mean anything to keep it that way.
