sidesystems are systems adjacent to the main system. this is usually in cases of very complex trauma and there are amnesia barriers usually entirely preventing communication and memory between the two systems, though it’s still just one person with DID. subsystems can present in usually two ways: either an alter appears to have their own system, meaning that they have their own alters who can only front when the host of the subsystem is in front, OR a subsystem can be a group of alters who have very little communication with the rest of the system and are generally considered separately from the rest of the system. layers are, essentially, what they’re called: layers of alters. certain layers may have more access to information than others, and generally alters can’t communicate with alters on other layers. gatekeepers or internal helpers may be able to communicate across layers and have more control over which layer has access to certain information, but take that with a grain of salt! my experience is quite specific.

HIII that’s so cool that you’ve been a fan for so long !! thank you ^.^ i may open commissions in the future again if there’s enough interest !!

hii it was mainly several host changes !! my main host has changed a few times since i used pink and black and i mainly only do it now for the sake of my image. black and white fits my current aesthetic more ^.^ before this i was actually using red and black too !!

im not sure tbh !! im not really in any

YES here’s mine !! https://postimg.cc/gallery/3R88VKf

i definitely agree with you !! your feelings aren’t ever stupid either i wholeheartedly agree about shortening names to avoid criticism too, ive always felt this way and i actually used to know someone who shortened kazuha to kaz for this very reason !! i always thought it was very strange at the time and i did call them out for it back then too

hiii as a korean person i do find it strange especially when it’s non asian people who don’t intend on integrating into an asian culture !! i find it really uncomfortable when people use my language and the names that originate from it personally when they haven’t experienced the racism and societal experiences that you get from being asian in a predominantly white community and also just from saying you’re asian online. being east asian is highly fetishised by certain people online too and it feels weird to me that someone who isn’t asian would want people online to assume they are ^^ i hope this makes sense !! also, a lot of names have important meanings that a lot of people tend to ignore when they try and use those names when they aren’t asian. it’s disrespectful to the cultures

HIII HERE YOU GO https://i.postimg.cc/9MMtD1qX/IMG-5007.gif

no problem !!! <3

HII i just redid mine !! they look like this https://postimg.cc/gallery/tXfdCGR

HII yeah i mentioned this wayyy back then !! too much inspo is probably to me copying an exact combo of colours, characters, using the same dividers and matching my template but changing a few symbols to avoid being accused of outright copying. basically any low effort attempts at changing the bare minimum of my work ^.^ i’m usually okay with most inspo though !!!

hii anon it’s working for me rn so im not sure !! i think some countries block different image hosting sites

you want me

HII i would say this has definitely happened to me in some ways !! sometimes after a switch i can still feel the remnants of whatever the other alter was feeling and if it was particularly difficult for that alter then it will still have an effect on me as well

hiii yes i do !! i don’t usually ignore requests from anyone as my public privacy buckets don’t show any sensitive information ^.^ i may unadd people if they make me uncomfortable in any way though. i had to do this just now because someone copied my entire identity and i wasn’t aware until someone else told me, but other than that i usually keep people added if they added me for inspo !!
