so systems, and others, did you ever watch a show or movie and really relate to a character and feel like you actually became the character for a bit after watching it? like even way after watching it? despite not really consuming media about said thing afterwards still feeling like said character? or maybe activly consuming media about said character but feeling like its wrong? ...
because as an autistic system I'm realizing it is very easily for us to watch a show or movie, or play a video game and see a character we relate to a little too much and just BaM! new introject. and I think I just had a breakthrough... It's so hard to get me to watch stuff and it's always been this unlying fear of enjoying it too much I think. Which is weird to say. But now.. now it makes a little more sense. Even books! Like we just got a new book this week and I'm putting off reading it solely because I felt someone already relating a little too hard to a character and I'm scared lol.
But we have so many introjects (fictives). Hell, our main host is one. he's fucking fantastic btw we love him. but anyways.
YouTube is our go to. We just watch informative videos. We can't exactly relate to just facts spewed at us so we're safe... But the second we find a cool series or movie or video game... it's over. It's a cycle that, deep down, I know and we avoid... but I'm just now recognizing it. I don't know why I'm realizing all this. Maybe cause I'm less connected to that side of it and I'm fronting for the first time in a bit. I'm just connecting some dots. My side of the system is just.. alters of me really but yeah. idk I am simply throwing these thoughts out there I guess lol. and hoping someone can relate.

if you create, you're an artist
we're starting to write our teaching philosophies in my art education class rn so excuse me while i go on a little bit of a ramble
I am a firm believer in the fact that anyone can be an artist. If you find joy and purpose in what you make, congrats! You're an artist. I don't care if it's a huge realism painting that could rival the Mona Lisa, a crochet blanket project you made as a gift, a lopsided bowl you made in ceramics, or even a throwaway doodle on a napkin at a restaurant. If you made it, and you found joy in it, it's art in my eyes and you're an artist.
I've had family members try and argue with me that art is some magical talent people are born with and they'd never be able to obtain the level of skill that I'm at. I say "not with that attitude." I believe that with the right tools and access to learning, anyone can learn to create. You can learn to draw, to paint, to knit, or crochet. You can learn ceramics and sculpting. You can learn. It takes a lot of practice and time to become a "master" at it, but that's how any skill works. I didn't pop out of the womb holding a paint brush and pallete and immediately be able to produce fully rendered semi-realistic paintings like I can now. Hell, I couldn't even do that a few years ago! It took most of my life messing around and practicing to get anywhere near as good as I am now. And guess what? I'm still learning and practicing. But we all start somewhere. It's the passion to create and the tools made available to us that allow us to thrive and grow as artists.
Sure, to some extent I know that some people are able to see color in different ways or have a better imagination. But if you don't, that doesn't mean you can't do art. Literally everyone sees the world differently. Some people are more go-with-the-flow thinkers, while some are more analytical. Some people jump right into an art project with no plan, others plan things out down to every single brush stroke. Maybe that means you don't do art as a career, but that doesn't mean you're not an artist. You can be both a lawyer and an artist, a doctor and an artist, a mathematician and an artist, a cashier and an artist. You can be anything and an artist.
Another thing about art is how many options there are. Painting, ceramics, print making, jewelry making, sculpture, photography, digital art, knitting. The list goes on and within those categories, there's more categories! For example, painting can be broken down into so many different types of paint: oil, acrylic, watercolor, gauche, and probably more. But my point is, if one medium doesn't work for you, there's a ton more options to pick from. That's the beauty of art. Let's say you're really struggling with painting realism. Proportions and colors just are lining up the way you want. You can't get the right angle and nothing looks right. Well, before you throw everything down in frustration and quit all art forever... might I suggest photography? Using a camera would allow you to still play with angles and color (or even black and white) while keeping those proportions just the way you want. You could explore different lens types or mess around with film. It's a whole new medium to explore. Or if you want to give painting another shot, there's a way to take photos and make an exact copy of said photo using grid lines on to a canvas to keep those same proportions. And color mixing can be thought of like a science in a way.
Anyways, do you see what I'm getting at?
There's many different ways to approach the teaching of art to make it accessible and fun. So even if you think you can't do it, a good teacher will help you find a way that makes sense.
Art is so versatile and there's literally no wrong answers or any wrong way to do it. It's all subjective. It's all open ended. It's meant to be fun and a way for people to express themselves, connect to others, and communicate without even speaking a word. There's an infinite amount of ways to play with mediums in art. You can start whenever and however you want. With enough time and practice you can make what you want. And if you're hesitant to start on the grounds of thinking you're not an artist I'm here to tell you that you're wrong.
Anyone can be an artist.

I'm so incredibly proud of us.. because it's taken months of overthinking and stressing and splitting and just awful times, but I finally feel okay. I'm actually excited for the future. for the first time in forever... I want to live. I'm excited for tomorrow.
Our future is uncertain. We changed majors earlier this month (education turned out to not be for me. but now I'm happy and saving a year of college actually). But for once I feel in control. We're making decisions for our lives. and we're the only one making them. It's for us. Not to please someone else. We're doing what will make us happy and its so scary, but we're excited.
And we're telling people. We told our roommate about the system. and we're telling our partner soon. And it's okay. It's a huge weight off our chest. We can be a little bit more ourselves...
it's okay
and I know it'll get hard again. it always does. school just ended. our routine just changed. so much is changing. but I feel okay. we have a support system in place... we'll get through it.
I guess all this to say, this disorder is hard. but its not all doom and gloom all the time. and im tired of seeing it pictured like that all the time. offline isnt like that. things get better eventually. you'll get out of that bad situation. you'll be able to live for yourself. I never thought I'd make it here... I thought I already had a few times... only for it to get torn away. But eventually you'll make it. It'll be okay. Just hold on.
it'll be okay

New system blog
V came up with a way better system name at 2am last night so I guess we're rebranding
NEW SYSTEM WIDE BLOG = @newloreunlocked
so this blog is going to go through a little bit of a change lol. I'm the one that posts the most here so it's just going to be my main blog. I'll continue to post DID content, stuff about my personal experiences, but also stuff more catered to my interests.
The new sideblog will be more for for the informational posts, resources. As well as, more stuff about our experiences in general.
I'm the one that made the original system name (Gilded System) and it just sounded cool? but the new one (The Lore System) connects more with us and frankly, it's funny so yeah
rebrand time!
- Diluc

sometimes we really do just need to sit down and listen to the alters, caretakers and, people in our lives that say "everything will be okay"... cause some of all the stress we've gone through over the past week maybe could have been avoided... and everything will, in fact, be okay

we went to a concert last night with our partner and I was hesitant to go for weeks but they were excited so just decided to say "fuck it" and go cause it could be fun. it worked out well for me last time so why not.
and it was actually so good for us... we've been so stuck in our head lately. for the first time in a while we were able to forget about trying figure out who was fronting and just focus on the moment. I was stareing at the stage just thinking "who likes this music? who am I right now?" then just... gave up. I caught myself and gave up. just focused on the lights and the sounds. and for a moment my brain fog cleared. everything became clearer. my eyes focused and i actually felt present for the first time that night. and holy shit I want more of that. it felt so good.
it didn't matter who I was. i can look back on those memories now and figure it out kinda but it doesn't really matter. we don't need to know who we are at all times. it's not the end of the world. it's okay to just exist. it's good to just enjoy the moment...

we have been Going Through It ™ at the moment so we're blurry as fuck, but tried a coping/ grounding thing we saw on here and took inspiration from so I figured I'd share.
I'm really sorry I don't remember who or where I saw the original idea, but it was basically when there's a lot of alters up front to help ground they listened to music and each alter focused on one part of the song (drums, high notes, voice, ect).
We did a similar thing this morning where we sat on our balcony to eat breakfast. There's 4 of us up front and too many thoughts and inputs to function so to calm down I proposed each of us focusing on one sound. One person focused on the sound of the rain, another the sound of the birds, another the feeling of the body, and I focused on eating. Visual inputs were too overwhelming so our eyes couldn't really focus until after I finished eating and could then focus on taking in our surroundings. But over all, I think it helped. We feel a little better.
I don't know if this technique would work for anyone else, but since I saw it and it helped me, I figured I would share our experience and maybe it could help someone else.
