#alter dormancy

[plural-affirmations]

Here's to systems who experience doubt about their systemhood.

System doubt is a very real and present issue for a lot of plurals. This one goes out to them.

Shoutout to:

Hosts who doubt themselves or the existence of their system a lot

Alters who were made to think they're singlets by abusers or toxic people in their life

Littles/syskids who don't understand they're part of a system

Traumaholders who are so traumatized that they end up shutting down the possibility of being a system

Systems that go through frequent collapses/dormancies

People who aren't sure if what they're experiencing "counts" as being plural

Plurals with severe amnesia that leads them to forget the others

Those who are convinced their sysmates are "just" hallucinations, kintypes, BPD, etc.

The ones who have been professionally diagnosed, but still don't fully believe it

And anyone else I missed.

It's going to be ok. I promise, doubt is normal -- it's distressing, and it's hard to handle, but it's normal. I even doubt my own system from time to time. You're not alone.

Be kind to yourself today, ok?

🖤💜💙💚💛

A kid came out of dormancy recently and I felt uncomfortably emotional about it. She went dormant when we were still small and I stayed and grew up without her.

I just realized that in the year leading up to us realizing the source of our trauma, there were A LOT of fragment alters who fronted once or twice but not really again. Like at least 50 of them logged. They would front a few times like they were trying to be stable and keep everything together, then disappear. Idk how to feel about it. I just remembered it happening, and found some logs of it.

Dormancy talk

Endo discriminators dni

Does anyone have advice for how to deal with emerging from dormancy?

A large trauma made me go dormant, and it broke me to the point that I have lost parts of myself. It's like they were burned away.

I used to be partially human. I'm not sure that I am anymore.

I used to smile.

I don't really feel like that person anymore, but I'm not *separate*. I'm a continuation.

It's like that stupid meme... "every day my bones shatter, and by sundown they've healed. Every time I move they break and reheal."

That's what it feels like. I'm being broken and put back together every time.

I can't even serve my original purpose anymore.

so like. recently an alter i was close to back when he and i formed came outta dormancy, which is fine. but like, now he's nonverbal when he used to not be? like he can text fine but he can only make hums and squeaks and other such noises.

idk if it's just stress from leaving dormancy or what, but he seems fine otherwise.

Here’s some positivity for headmates who have been dormant!

For many headmates, re-emerging from dormancy can be a disorienting, confusing, or scary experience. Many headmates may discover that their system and circumstances have changed drastically while they were dormant. To every headmate who has resurfaced from dormancy, we want to uplift you and show you some support! So here’s to all the headmates who have been dormant in the past!

🌙 Shoutout to headmates who had been dormant for over a decade!

🪐 Shoutout to headmates who are struggling to readjust to life after dormancy!

⭐️ Shoutout to headmates who have missed out on major life events or things they had been looking forward to due to dormancy!

🚀 Shoutout to headmates who are having difficulties socializing and connecting with the rest of their system after their dormancy!

✨ Shoutout to headmates who can’t remember anything that happened to their system while they were dormant!

🔭 Shoutout to headmates who have emerged from dormancy only to find that their system or the world around them has changed drastically while they were gone!

💫 Shoutout to headmates who have resurfaced after being forced into dormancy by another headmate or an outside factor!

🛰 Shoutout to created headmates that went dormant for some time due to a member of their system forgetting about them or being unable to work with them!

🌟 Shoutout to headmates who feel lost and confused about their purpose in life and their system after their dormancy!

🛸 Shoutout to headmates who emerged from dormancy with no memories whatsoever, even if the rest of their system can remember them from before they went dormant!

Dormancy is a morally neutral occurrence and a natural, common phenomenon in many systems! It can absolutely be scary and challenging re-emerging from a dormancy, but if you or someone in your system is going through this, we want to remind you that you’re not alone and everything’s going to be okay! It’s not too late to enjoy the small things in life and try to figure out how you want to spend the time you have.

To every headmate who has resurfaced from dormancy, know that we see you, we understand your struggles, and we are wishing you a bright future filled with comfort and delight. Know that you are so loved, and you are allowed to exist as you are now - even if you don’t know much about yourself or feel lost about your future! Please do you best to take it easy, be gentle with yourself, and have a wonderful day!

Uhh sorry guys but I think Trikoto might be dead

I was looking through the milgram app and when talking about the production of double and deco 27 specifically mentioned there being two Mikotos. It’s not a mistranslation either, I looked into it and the original phrase is “ふたりのミコトは果たしてこのあとどうなってしまうのでしょうか” and “ふたりのミコト” directly translates to “two Mikoto”.

I understand that people may be bummed by this or saying that Mikoto’s story is playing into stereotypes because of this. But personally I have hope, as trial 2 showed that John wasn’t just an “evil alter” stereotype that much and has a much deeper and interesting character comparable to everything else. Although it’s a bit iffy that it was a bait and switch in the first place because there would still be people who’d take it face value. But personally as someone here said (I forgot who I’m sorry) “the best way to do an overused trope is to do it right” which could apply in this situation. I know there are mixed opinions here and personally I have hope but this is just my take on what is very likely the de-conformation of the trikoto theory.

#milgram #milgram theory #mikoto kayano #There’s also a popular theory in the fandom that there were other alters but John forced them into dormancy or something else happened #As he said he was born due to stress from work and did develops in childhood and Mikoto definitely has implied childhood trauma #So maybe something happened thag just left mikoto and John? #There’s also the line in the trial 2 teaser which at first would make you think that it was about when John claimed to kill random people #But when you start to realise what he said was very likely a lie what he could mean in that line about beating annoying people wqs #He was talking about the others and was twisting the truth in the vd #I hope it goes this way because it’d be pretty stupid to say he got it as an adult #But personally I have hope kinda #I feel like I might’ve said something wrong here

[anon-asking-for-advice]

Hi. We. Uhm. Need help. Specifically with a persecutor. We’re. Not the best at handling shit on our own. We make enough rash decisions without our friends telling us to force this persecutor into dormancy. So I thought we’d turn to Tumblr for. Advice and input. Before we do anything rash.

This sounds like a reddit post already. Eugh. Bear with us here, I beg of you.

Persecutor [P]

Ex-Host [Ex]

Therapist Alter [TA]

Motherly Alter [MA]

Caregiver [CG]

Protector [PRO]

[P] has been known for having violent thoughts, puppy guarding [Ex], and even going so far as to harm [TA] after he tried to separate [P] and [Ex].

[P]’s got multiple sources, one being [MA]’s source son and another being the old friend of a [CG].

We admittedly put [P] into dormancy once before, but he recently was triggered out. He was found in front by [MA] and was immediately coddled and protected. [P] apparently sobbed to her that he didn’t want to go back into dormancy. The two were eventually found by [CG].

[MA] was unintentionally/somehow switched out, leaving [CG] and [P] alone together. [P] continued to cry that he didn’t want to be taken away, referring to [CG] by his nickname that only close friends ever called him. [CG], understandably stressed, regressed to a younger state; a state in which he and [P] used to be friends at. [P] then also regressed, begging [CG] to not let anyone force him into dormancy, swearing he wouldn’t hurt anyone again, begging that the rest of us do anything except force him into dormancy.

[PRO] eventually found her way to front and forcefully separated [P] and [CG], threatening to “knock [CG] out and drag him out of front”. This didn’t bode well, as the minute she did, [P] went absolutely ballistic on her. [P] then immediately checked on [CG] before leaving front and getting away before anyone could do anything to him.

Our friends insist [MA] and [CG] were being manipulated and used through their attachments to [P]’s sources. To me, [P] sounded genuinely afraid, though.

I just. Fuck. I can’t fucking tell. I’m exhausted.

I don’t know what to do.

[plural-affirmations]

Here's to smaller systems!

The average number of headmates for systems, according to some cursory glances at search engine results, range from about 8-13 people. It's time to appreciate these wonderful plurals who have systems on the smaller side!

Shoutout to:

Empty systems

Systems of only 2 people

Those who went through a major headcount change, such as a collapse

Systems where they're technically larger but only a handful front

Multiples who are mostly made up of dormant members

Anyone else who considers their system small!

You're absolutely stunning, dears! Please appreciate yourself today!

Alter intro:

My name’s Angel. He/him. I’m an adult alter but I age regress sometimes. Yes I’m sourced from Hazbin, no we don’t support the creator or anything 😅 uhhh I don’t front much + I was dormant for months, so idk what to say lmao

I’m pretty chill tho! :3

One day maybe I’ll do commissions. I think that would be nice. People seem to like my art.

-:p

#:p mention #B0ffy might be semi-dormant #which is not rare or concerning for us #semi-dormancy for certain alters in our system is how our brain decides what we need right now #semi-dormancy just puts them in the memcat boxes for a bit. he’ll be okay.
