Holy heck! Just moved to Clute, this is crazy.

I've lived in Eastern Texas my entire life. I'm used to timber rattlesnakes, copperheads, box turtles, and so on. More importantly, I only ever saw ONE species of lizard in East Texas. The green anole.

Of course, I had a few skinks here and there, but only the occasional five-line and majority being little brown skinks. Never in my life had I seen a brown anole, and it was the best thing ever.

Just here for ONE day, and I've found six brown anoles, day and night. Which truthfully is unfortunate, given how invasive they are, but I had no idea the Gulf Coast was so STOCKED with them. At first I didn't even know what they were, with the tail waggling, way harder bites, super cool patterns, and I think even one did circumduction at me? I may have mistaken that. Either way, I was so astounded when I learned this was a brand new species for me, and how abundant they were. There were just the two I decided to have a photo day with. They were all released unharmed since I have no heart to kill any reptile, no matter how invasive. They are VERY fierce.

What a crazy thing.

Question: Why didn't Miguel just.. Take Gabrielle?

This has been pestering me since absolutely forever. Plot hole, perhaps? Dunno if it's been talked about or not, I've searched the Internet and can't find a thing talking about this,.but.. We see the dimension is falling apart, he's holding her, trying to escape. Did my fact check— he totally could've teleported right out of there, so..

Why didn't he just dimension her out with him somewhere safer?

Obviously the Spider-Society didn't exist at the time, but if he literally just dimensioned her out of the freaking collapsing dimension, she wouldn't be dead? She would've survived a while yet in another dimension even if her atoms were glitching all wonky, but he still could've gotten her a gizmo or thingabob eventually, plus anyone can be dimensionally transported, I'm sure. Was there ever an explicit theory or reason why he didn't do that? Literally think about it every time she's brought up. My only working theory is that he wasn't thinking and was trying to get her out on foot, or, like I said, a plot hole so his story is sadder.

Sorry, just been thinking about that forever. Any ideas to settle my mind on this topic?

Quite worried about terms

Hello! Got another question. No plural stuff this time, but that was excellent information from the last post. I'll gladly keep it all in mind.

So, I did a quick (not so quick) browse on the fake DID cringe subreddit, and started to worry.

As stated before, my system hasn't exactly been right. I was encouraged to avoid most things about DID out of nervousness and paranoia and didn't have much knowledge on it whatsoever after my diagnosis. Like, at all. I relied heavily on my therapist to teach me about my own disorder, so stuff about other people's disorders is very, very recently being learned.

Is it true that people with DID don't refer to their... I don't know, collection of alters as "a system"? I seriously don't know what to believe.

My first introduction on Reddit was DID, which was extremely toxic, then Plural, which was obviously 10× worse, then OSDD for a brief moment, which seems to be the most positive and accurate, then Fake Cringe DID subreddit stuff which seems to target Plural and Tumblr. It's all very confusing now, even more than before. Is it even a spectrum to begin with? Who do I believe?

I already have my foundation beliefs on what is and isn't real at this point, but it also turns out that certain alters simply found it easy to manipulate me in more lies that made me think certain things for years only to be revealed it was a "joke". And of course, my therapist is a professional, but she isn't exactly multiple people with the same disorder who can tell me what's right and wrong when it comes to.. everything else.

Are there things I should avoid saying that makes it seem like I'm lying? Is saying "my/our system" even one at all, or did they make it up?? Can I say whatever I want? My alters are utterly useless with these questions I've been asking. All they've been doing is "joking" and not providing genuine information whatsoever, so I can't even trust their words not to fuck me over somehow anymore, if they decide to talk to me in the first place.

So, all in all, I'm just asking if there's terms I should avoid and what terms I should use instead. I really, really don't want to come across as a weirdo faker, or a disrespectful pretender, or any of that. I'm just severely uninformed and haven't exactly been aware of my system for long enough to gain enough information.

Am I wrong for being uncomfortable and confused by r/plural?

Hello. This is the friendliest subreddit I've seen so far involving systems. I'm hoping this turns out with.. less aggression?

I'm not calling any of them out in any way, or calling anyone fakers, nor the subreddit. No negativity or hatred whatsoever. If that whole place is the forbidden topic of this subreddit as well, I'm very sorry, I have no clue what's going on between the whole hatred between system subreddits.

I'm just.. extremely confused?

Don't get me wrong, I'm still understanding Dissociative Identity Disorder. I haven't reached out to other people with this disorder, especially not after my diagnosis. I'm very nervous and very uncomfortable typically and uncertain of who I can talk to about it, but I was curious to see how others were, if they were like me. So I discovered that subreddit, and.. I'm just very baffled.

The constant fictionkin stuff, the "OCs", self inserts (?) the really easy conversations between alters and stereotypes and therians, plus the endosystems(??) that are caused ''without'' childhood trauma, even though I think you need it but correct me if I'm wrong, the people without any PTSD, the ones seeming to call them friends and family??... Is it wrong to feel.. Offended, in any type of way? Because I just do. It feels.. Weird? Wrong? I don't know if I'm the only one. I don't feel safe in that community and I don't know why. A few alters are uncomfortable with it as well. I feel like it's a bunch of kids, and that just feels outright offensive. They even said that people with autism, OCD and ADHD get alters all the time, and you can be plural without a trauma or a disorder. That just threw me for a loop. Is the spectrum as massive as I thought, or are these people just .. confused? I don't think they're faking. Not really.

So, I came to the more... Professional subreddit, to make sure I'm not going crazy and being weird about other people.

Don't take this the wrong way. I just want some answers for a really confusing topic to me. If I need to converse with the mods instead, I'd love to! I just want to make sure I'm not being a total jerk. I checked the rules, and I didn't see anything denying this exactly.

Anyone want to share real cat pics that look like Warrior Cats?

Sounds as it is. I thought this would be fun!

Any real cat. Pets, friend's pets, strays, randos, famous cats, any cat. Just show them and name the Warrior!

Here's my own :)

1# - Bluestar. Russian blue of course, but I couldn't find any with ice blue eyes that weren't photoshopped or AI. So, green eyed Bluestar.

2# - Firestar. Maybe if his cheeks were a bit fuller and he had a little big of a bigger build, it would be 100. But this is pretty good. This is a regular tabby American Shorthair with green eyes.

3# - Lionblaze. No bright amber eyes of course, so brownish-rust will do. Big ginger maine coon!

4# - Ravenpaw. This is 100%. Completely the same build, small, long thin tail, and little white dip. I think he's a regular American Shorthair adolescent, too.

5# - Jayfeather! No born blind blue-tabby Oriental Shorthairs online obviously, lol. But the sleek, short fur and long body with a blue marbled coat was exactly what I always imagined.

6# - Hollyleaf! Longhair American. Beautiful black kitty with light green eyes. Very pretty.

Can't wait to see everyone else's ideas.

How did you guys interpret this short scene from Light (Light & Night)?

Personally I just laugh my ass off every time, because it looks like Heart was about to reach up to remove his blindfold, and Mind is watching. He pulls away and adjusted his hair instead, and Mind looks away. Like Heart was totally doing it on purpose to piss him off, just like I think the scene from The Heart Acoustic where it blends into The Mind Electric, as Heart calls him an "automation freak", Mind cuts him off because he's insulted and immediately jumps into insulting Heart back. Do you think it has a different meaning? I feel like it's more than just a quick intro.

Ants all over my tea when I left it on the counter for exactly one minute.

There were about 100 more on the counter. I hate ants so fucking much. Fucking hell, mate, seriously.

Took me another 10 minutes to kill all of them, then had to use my other counter across to drink something else just in case they came back while I was looking away or something.

Beautiful baby toad j found outside, recently hatched

Tried to inflate on me. Love toads! I believe it is. It felt very dry and bumpy, with defined, unwebbed toes.

'Birds for some reason' as Qinter?

As the meme is getting popular, I've got an idea; "Birds for some reason", but the female is Moonwatcher, the red is Winter, and Blue is Qibli. Someone needs to animate this; I know it's going to happen eventually. If you watch it, or already have, you'll see what I mean. Strewth, I'd do it myself if I was slightly better at animation than I am now.

The HMS weapons (with bonus Soul and Heart holding their weapons)

Hello! These are the weapons I imagined HMS would have, it's just a fun headcanon I had. Like, I LOVE Soul's trident, but I also wanted to imagine that the others have weapons, too, y'know?

Alrighty! With that aside, starting off strong, we have Mind's weapon. It's basically an electric whip made of chain. Nothing very special; very electric. It gives brutal burns shaped like lightning.

Soul on the other hand, has the largest weapon, which is his trident. It can burn through steel like butter and is EXTREMELY hot, like, lava hot. Only he, Mind and Heart can hold it without getting crazy burns.

Heart has a spear, which is the exact opposite. It freezes anything instantly, and can cause necrosis upon contact. It's like, liquid nitrogen cold. Again, only he, Soul and Mind can hold it without sustaining any injuries. I'm not too proud of the coloring, I wanted a bit of purple AND blue, but it turned out most cyan and ice blue with hints of deep blue and tiny scraps of purple.

The last things are just two sketches of Heart and Soul holding their weapons. Would love to do Mind, but like I said before, I CANNOT draw his design I have for the life of me, lol. Pretty proud of the Soul sketch; looking proper rad. Enjoy!

[Yes, Heart is taller than Soul btw, I think he's a super tall guy :)]

Call me the ★SOUL★ (Soul Fanart)

Whew! A whole month! Sorry about this. I actually began the sketch almost immediately after I finished Heart, lost inspiration, colored it a little, then gave up five minutes before I finished for half a month. I just finished it today. I enjoyed it a lot, and had a major art change during the break! Here's all the progress, and a lazy sketch of him at the end. I headcanon he's a total stoner with medical marijuana because of his anxiety and insomnia.

His design was a little inspired from marzLucek, like the jacket, earrings and the arm stuff! The rest was all me. Enjoy!
