DID things
When someone asks if you’re okay and you answer:
yes, no, maybe, i dunno
cause everyone is feeling different things so you have no idea
For Protector Alters
You’re amazing! we love you so much. We wouldn’t be where we are without you. You are vital to you’re system!!! You’re doing an amazing job! Keep going, we need you. We know that it can be quite frustrating, but we are all grateful for you, even if it sometimes doesn’t seem like it. We love you!!
ALTA customer reached out recently to request for a kawaii cat stack design with the Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) system flag colors.
Admittedly, I didn’t know DID has a flag. I felt a sense of mission when I was creating the design.
I have been thinking a lot lately, particularly, about my creative voice.
Yes, I want to create art that bring happiness and make people smile but there is more… and I can’t articulate it easily…
I’ll try. Please bear with me.
I hope to create a world with no prejudice, where people treat one another with kindness and respect, regardless of race, language, religion, color, size, ability, profession, sexual orientation, geography, etc.
Life is not easy, everyone is fighting their own battles. If we can just smile and be kinder, maybe we can make someone’s day? Perhaps this will in turn makes us feel lighter and easier?
If we can appreciate the goodness and simple happiness in everyday life, I think we’ll be happier.
In my world, everyone is free to be themselves, express their love and pursue their own passion and adventure.
I am just an artist, I can’t change the world. But I am an artist, I can create my ideal world with my kawaii cats. (=^w^=)
Thank you for popping by. Hope you find comfort and happiness in my world.
xoxo,
Irene
I do this constantly. I can’t help it!
Almost missed my HRT appointment doing this haha.
Not sure if other systems have this experience, but sometimes it’s not the persecutory alter who’s preaching the Denial Lecture. I think everyone in my system has gone through it at least once.
Mae figures out they can more than one set of pronouns to describe themself.
It’s tough to widdle this one down into 4 panels, but I figured I’d write about this one as well. I think “Guessing who’s out” could be a comic in its own right really.
I as a system do not expect people to always know who’s out! That’s not the point of this.
In my experience (and this may vary for others), if you think there’s been a switch, making sure the one in the front is okay before delving into who’s out is priority. That way if something was a trigger, the alter fronting can be grounded before handling the topic.
Systems are always encouraged to add input.

I’m not too certain how to caption this, except that I don’t know how far I’ll go with this. I’ll be back too black and white soon.
Lillith is mute, but what she wants to say can be “read” by the others in their headspace.

Meet Lillith: A Memory Holder Alter.
Sometimes in dissociative systems, an alter will have the role of holding memories so the others don’t remember. These parts tend to be emotional, or may reflect their feelings. Sometimes a memory holder is mute, much like Lillith, because what they’ve experienced is unspeakable. Other times (such as in my system), memory holders may appear non-human because they felt dehumanised by the event.
Lillith loves pastel gothic stuff, and she likes to keep herself wrapped up in a big hoodie. It keeps her feeling safe.
Also: As March 2021 rolls around (actually today is the 1 year mark of the United States going into lockdown), trauma “anniversaries” are real, regardless of who we are. Please be easy on yourself.
As always, if systems have anything they’d like to add, feel free to. There are many ways plurality is experienced.

Been listening to nothing but Elton John lately. The real MVP is Ram, who’s been putting up with this for the past couple days.

Sometimes persecutors know just what to say. Mae might be a bit hard with her words, but sometimes things like this need to be said bluntly to Deebee.
Based on stuff with my system. I’ve learned to interpret the wording as constructive in their own way.

I love you, but no. :)
