#starker family
i’ll be honest as someone who’s been in the starker fandom since 2019, it’s sad to see big starker accounts become inactive or deleted :( rip to all the amazing starker writers and gif makers out there who don’t post anymore
It’s very sad seeing all these amazing creators leave/delete or just become inactive. I’ve been here since 2018 and I still remember the popular blogs back in the day (and we’re lucky to still have some of them active to this day!) and when one of them liked your post it was the greatest reward (I still have a screenshot of starker1975 liking my post. cuz im a slut for her )
Now I’m going through my likes from 2018 and majority of the posts are from people who are no longer in the fandom.
But I’m still very grateful for them feeding us back in the day
rubberupandshutup/rubberupandmakeitstarker , peterparkers7evilexes, softstarker, starkerchemistry, sluttystarker and many more that I can’t remember at the top of my head. But feel free to add to this list
Ofc now we have other content creators that are also amazing and I love them, but sometimes nostalgia hits me hard
I honestly don’t remember exactly when I got into starker. But I posted my first starker ficlet in September of 2019 so I’d say I started lurking around the beginning of that year lol.
There’s so many amazing creators I miss. Ones that disappeared without a trace, ones that we were warned about, ones who were deactivated in the great purge and never came back
That whole era just felt Different. But I’m so glad the fandom is still functioning and creating. Even through its ups and downs (especially the barely functioning low points) it’s still here and creating amazing works that are so different than things that were made then.
Then and now. Amazing people, amazing works. Such a good little fandom
Honestly I’d say it’s gotten better
I remember 2017/2018 and I remember a lot of… entitlement and rudeness.
Someone didn’t tag a niche trigger? There was going to be a massive shaming post calling them every name In the book. And thank god that shits gone now.
There was other weird shit I don’t want to get into but there was just , Idk maybe it was just the side of the fandom I ended up on. A lot of drama, it was just a socially tense environment for a while.
There used to be more content, sure, but it’s much more comfortable now I’d say
Thank you @dumb-bitch-starker for phrasing what I felt for some time. Like, there’s always this talk about the starker family and how nice everyone is and that everything is sunshine and cookies. And it isn’t. But that’s okay, that’s social life. I’m just glad that someone said it out loud because I think this atmosphere of “everybody is so nice don’t you dare to say otherwise” stopped me from contributing for some time.
Like, If y’all don’t remember the RACIAL TENSION in this fandom were you even here what the actual fuck was that shit even? It was so fucking strange and uncomfortable.
I rlly don’t even want to talk abt it bc it was so fucking icky but it was a thing and it was WEIRD
And YK, the fun occasional big blog being antisemitic
Oh wait how could I forget!!! You’re getting blocked and put on a list if you posted a ship other than starker someone didn’t like. Usually it was over spidershield
I think by that time some big blogs had a lot of power and canceled smaller creators behind the curtains. Like you never learned why suddenly nobody reblogged your stuff anymore and so on. And some just… stopped. At least it looked liked that to me.
So I’m grateful for all the new guys here, giving the fandom a new vibe. Still it is the best fandom I’ve been in because some people here are the sweetest and nicest people I’ve ever met online and a lot are super cute, strange and funny. And starker is the best ☺️ All I wish for is that people give each other some slack and have fun.
This this this
Hi everyone, hello starker family and DID communities.. this is really hard for me to do. But i hope its all right..to ask for help. Im just. Im terrified because we need so much financial help…i..i truly have no other options anymore. Thank you sm in advance

Our goals for financial help…
-a new phone. ($500 or higher most likely..) because ours is close to its little phone grave
-food we can eat, easily consume/make for our severe eating disorder.
-our medication and hormones.
-memory cards, so we can try to help fix our phone..
-a new birth certificate and forms of identification, since ours were stolen. So
-our spotify and pics art, both very important coping mechanisms.
-a place to live in arizona
Ill try to make our story as short as possible..
Our dad wanted to get rid of two of our cats…he was giving them to a shelter. I didnt want my cats to be hurt. So i asked if my partner could take him and i found an organization to help me with tobys travel.
An hour before we were supposed to leave for our flight, my classically evil step mother kicked us out of my dads house. She said we were no longer welcome to come back. We nearly ended it all right then. I ended up fleeing across the country in 5 different airports, and blowing all of the savings i worked so hard for..just to survive, and save the life of my cat.
I ended up not being able to stay with my partner, for family reasons. I ended up in a shelter in a city over an hour away from them. When i told An old friend, they immediately paid for a flight to go stay with their parents.
With my old home in arizona, i was abused, horribly, mentally and emotionally for six years. We tried to commit several times and could barely function. The lgbt phobia, deadnaming, and the wrong pronouns every day for years was slowly killing us. The screaming, and degrading from my stepmother. The nasty names. Tearing me down and making me feel like shit everytime i tried to be better. Refusing to take me to the doctor when i desperately needed help. Threatning to hurt me and drag me out of the room by our hair if we didnt wash the dishes fast enough. Kicking boxes at me and screaming at me when i was trying to clean the house..
My job was my only family and safe haven away from home. I was a fantastic manager with a bright future in the company And i.no.. now..i no longer have that.
I am thousands of miles away from the city that is my home. The only job and work family i have. The franchise where i am now..was horrible and abusive. I..i now have no money of my own. And no way to make it. Ive looked for a job for months now. Nobody wants me. Im legally homeless with no source of income. My birth certificate, legal and medical paperwork, and my cats paperwork was all stolen with my 1k ipad.
We have lost everything. Every single comfort. We can no longer afford to pay for spotify, music and the sleeping meditations help us cope with reality and fall asleep. We struggle with a horrible eating disorder, and can no longer afford tasty, or easy to eat foods, or healthy foods that we can actually eat. Our phone is starting to die, barely being able to charge; and no memory space. We have no way to play genshin anymore, one of our biggest comforts. Flightrising shut down all of our accounts thinking we were one user sharing between multiple accounts. It had become a huge crutch and comfort for us. Weve tried playing genshin on our phones but our tb memory drive was stolen too.
Every single coping mechanism and comfort weve had has been stolen from us. Gone. We cant..we cant even feed ourselves properly anymore. We cant buy our own medication or hormones. We cant even afford therapy or help. We cant even get foodstamps or assistance because we dont have enough forms of id, and you have to be a resident and have proof of residency in our current state to get help.. we also just found out, our sweet old baby, our little angel, has died. She was put down, with no warning to us. We just..we keep losing everything. Our lives have been sucked down into a giant void of loss, depression, and hopelessness.
We cant get a new phone without money. Our phone is the only thing we have left and if it breaks i..i dont know..what id do. Weve worked out a deal with tmobile but its several hundred dollars.
We cant buy our meds, food, or anything related to our comfort and coping methods. We keep getting hit with more and more loss. We have no hope left. We have no more options… we are wasting away in a house that is not our home. We are seperated from our cats. I am seriously worried about my system. Weve gotten so hopeless and depressed that im terrified alters are going to start dying by su**ide. Several already have. Multiples have gone dormant.
We are desperately trying to find a place to live in phoenix, our true home. But we have nowhere to go. We cant find any transitional housing programs or lgbt centers that have open spots. Or that we qualify for. I dont know what to do anymore. At this point we need hundreds, if not thousands of dollars to fix our life. I dont know what else to try anymore…
We have lost everything. Were seperated from our cats. Thousands of miles away from our true home and only job & work family. We have none of our coping mechanisms or food for our ed anymore. We are fading away.
Thanks so much for the help so far y'all we really appreciate it. I was able to order an external memory drive for my phone- so we can save all of our precious memories incase our phone decides to quit on us. As well as some delicious snacks and treats we can actually eat with our ED. We are very orally focused, so little chocolates and protein snacks really help. As well as our much needed electrolyte drink powder. It really helped give us a boost- so thank you! Anything else we recieve from you lovely folk will be put towards our new future phone! Our birthday is on january 11th, im making it my goal to get one by then♡♡ please keep boosting this post for us! Thank you!!
