Dissociative identity disorder on tumblr - Self-dx fun times

[Southern Belle]

Short answer: attention.

Long answer: it's not too uncommon for DID sufferers to get unfavorable alters, such as one who is very angry and lashes out at people when something happens to trigger it. Tumblr fakers like to exaggerate unsavory headmates inside of them because it's a testament to how "mentally ill" they are and they'll get pity points and/or Tumblr dollars.

I'm not questioning the real-world implications and challenges real DID sufferers face, and know that not all of the alters they get are rays of sunshine or even remotely pleasant. I've met quite a few of them in my travels.

I was more taken aback by a Tumblrite claiming Chris-chan as an alter, unfavorable or no. These Tumblr kids are picking and choosing their alters (whereas the legitimate real-world DID cases don't get to choose to be the cute little anime demiboy magical girl bunself). Attention aside, I'm legitimately bewildered by the deliberate choice of Chris-chan. It's just, I can't wrap my head around that.

It makes for juicy drama, i.e. other alters in the system yelling at Chris-chan for being oh so problematic. It's not at all rare in DID!Tumblr to see posts where headmates yell at each other like it's a fucking sitcom. The poor kid wasn't getting enough attention and decided to stage their own drama, basically. That's what the majority of DID bloggers do though.

the Chris Chan one was most likely a troll though, if we're being real. People like that aren't going to willingly fake an alter that would ostracize them from the community unless the asspat-to-hate ratio is worthwhile.

 

[AnOminous]

Who the everloving fuck would willingly CHOOSE Chris-chan as a headmate? Seriously wtf?

Anyone who is on tumblr claiming to have DID is pretty much an absolute piece of shit garbage person, and what they want is an excuse for being worthless scumbags. So picking a shitty fake alter is a solution to this problem.

See, but I really want to see somebody commit to having Chris as a headmate, though.

I want them to pull out a medallion to wear when they're Chris. I want them to do an impression of him and his mannerisms and use all the CWC-isms. I want them to demonstrate intimate knowledge of the sagas.

That shit would be hilarious.

Chris Chan as a headmate?

More like :autism:

Ive seen people claim that one of their alters was a widely hated villain and claim oppression points because their alter "wasn't like that now" and they were discriminated against because of "canon". I guess that would be a case where the asspat-to-hate ration earned those delicious oppression points.

Head mates with Hitler but don't worry guise he is good now don't oppress ok?

More random stuff I found

System hopping: when your alters (which are formed in your brain) can go into other people's "systems" and vice versa

What..? I am no psychologist, but that is definitely not possible. Sounds like shared insanity (forgot the proper term)

Better? I want to feel less autistic.

I've been watching the crash and burn of Airi, the transwoman whose main alter was weeaboo loli bait who progressively 'age slid' to become younger and younger.

Yeah. A two year old lesbian.

What does she mean by leave? Well. When she was called out for being full pedo on 13 year old tumblr kiddos after hitting on them and sending them links to her porn blog, she decided to do what the industry calls a "system reset". The DID equivalent of 'delete fucking everything' where you magically wipe your brain and absolve yourself of all prior sins by just...becoming a whole new set of people!

That's guaranteed to work, yeah?

System Resets are probably the biggest source of hilarity in the tumblr DID fandom, since it's primarily done when someone gets themselves deep in the shit or they're tired of all their old fandoms and want a new cast of kawaii characters to play pretend as.

 

[BobWilsonAnchorman]

If she's two, how the fuck can she type coherent English?

it says "nyan~"

She's also had previous tumblrs deleted by staff for misrepresenting her age and refusing to disclose her real age. Of course, she threatened to pseuicide if they didn't restore her blogs.

 

[BobWilsonAnchorman]

Oh, a typical knobhead suicide baiter then. "DON'T DELETE MY BLOG OR I'LL KMS!" Shut up.

 

[Melkor]

Pretty sure making threats like that is a form of terrorism.

While I'm at it, may as well :autism::autism: aperdump :autism::autism: my list of DID fandom terms. Morbid fascination with people faking mental illness has given my lexicon a few sad additions.

• System hopping = When you believe one of your alters can magically appear in someone else's head and join their system. This is fake and gay.
• Alter Babies = Children born of your alters in your brain. Usually with a fast forwarded 'pregnancy' period that may only last a few days. Sometimes these babies are born between two people whose alters are dating or system hopping and bumping uglies in headspace. Also fake.
• Age Sliding = When one of your alters can be 2 years old one minute and 200 the next. 98% fake.
• System Reset = Delete fucking everything. When you re-roll your alters for a shiny new set and toss the old ones out with the trash. Used to escape consequences or when you're bored of all your old RP characters.
• Alter Death = When one of your alters dies or is killed. Impossible. Also often used as a threat when someone does something you don't like. Make the alter threaten suicide! Sometimes can be combined with system hopping aka 'I'm gonna come into your system and kill ur alters!!'
• Fusion = Steven Universe inspired bullshit in which your alters can fuse exactly like the crystal gems and become some combo entity. Not to be confused with integration.
• Integration = When an alter either goes dormant or is no longer discernible as its own personality. One step closer to normality.
• Endogenic Systems = 'Natural' systems. Insist that their systems 'just happened' and are not the result of childhood trauma before the age of 10. I'M DID BECAUZ I SED SO!!! What you want to look for when hunting maximum cringe examples.

That last one though. I've seen that excuse 100% of the time when I've seen people with multiplicity on tumblr. Fake and gay.
