I just have to say--
PEBBLES!!! I love that name so much it's so cute!!!! :D
A while ago I actually hyperfixated on DID, sadly do not recommend. My type of hyperfixation is a bit.. intense... and when I hyperfixate on things that could relate to me but don't or even can't, sometimes I'll end up convincing myself that it relates to me against all evidence. I bet you see what I'm getting at already, I unintentionally faked DID for a few days. I'm just so glad that the few loved ones I told didn't really agree with me, and dropped it quickly after I got out of that intense hyperfixation and realized I'm just autistic and lonely.
So I'm wondering, do you have any thoughts about unintentional faking? And what about characters that have multiple personalities/consciousnesses, but don't necessarily have confirmed DID? I have a couple characters like that, one being super old, when I didn't know DID even existed.
And some more simple questions: What does your headspace look like? How often do you switch on average, and why (if that's a sensitive topic, feel free to skip this question)? Do all of you get along decently?

Anyways, I put a little discussion starter that royally flopped near the bottom of the page before this, which has a bit of info about me. But basically:
Hi! I'm Snowy :) I'm autistic, and I have mild(?) OCD, sensory processing disorders (worst is auditory), PTSD, social anxiety that likes to flux dramatically day to day, and probably frequent and intense enough dissociation to qualify for some diagnosis (not DID). I also have poor object permanence and interroception, tend to personify anything and everything to a detriment (I apologize to the table after I stub my toe ._.), and refer to myself interchangeably as "I," "you," and "we." Usually not to other people, though. It's very nice to meet you ^^
Feel free to ask me any questions! Nothing is off limits, and if I ever get uncomfortable, I'll tell you immediately.

And finally, here's to hoping that hyperfixation doesn't rear its ugly head again now. I can already feel it lurking in the depths of my brain, going "*-* but are you sure-" yes. I'm sure.

Can you ping me again and when I get home tonight I will answer all of your questions! Just ping me so I don't forget please lol.

Lol, yeah sure ^^

Okay home now so I can answer some questions.

Starting out, currently Grace and Ozpin are fronting. We are the two main fronters. A lot of the time we will front together. This is because it is easier to mask as one person when we are working together.

Second, Pebbles is one of our littles, she rarely fronts as she is a trauma holder. They remember the trauma the most vividly so they mostly stay in headspace that way they can escape reality so to say.

Which that takes us to our headspace. Ours is a nice suburban home that always has enough bedrooms for everybody. Each alter has their own room where they can escape if they need to. There is also a big kitchen attached to a large living room which is where most alters hang out all the time. The front so to say is an office in the house.

Generally we will only switch once or twice a day. However switching can be more frequent due to stress, and over stimulation. Each alter also has things that they are better at dealing with. For example, I (grace) am super easily over stimulated so when that happens, Oz usually takes over because he is much better at grounding us and removing us from the situation that way I can get my bearings again. If Oz is not present when that happens, usually anyone near will step in but usually it results in us shutting down because of me retreating to our headspace and essentially no one fronting. Switches can also be caused by doing things that certain alters like, for example some of the littles like to front whenever we are at the pet store. Finnley, one of our newest alters) tends to front whenever we are outside in nature.

You can also feel when alters are near the front, for us it is essentially someone standing in the doorway to the office, they aren't in the office but they are very close. So they can kinda see what is happening but they can't control anything happening. They can however communicate with the fronters (sometimes). When an alter hangs out there and then switches in they experience a "grey out", however when someone comes directly from the headspace to front have a "black out" where they do not remember anything that happened outside from while they were in the headspace.

Most of us all get along pretty well. Think of it as a large family. We have our squabbles with each other every once in awhile but most of the time we get along just fine.

So unintentional faking, it happens ALOT. So don't sweat it. DID has a lot of symptoms and it effects everything in your day to day life, so it is easy to look at a list of symptoms and think, "check, check, check, check" when in reality those same symptoms line up with 14 other different disorders too. Unless you intend harm by it or go out of your way to get attention from it or use it for clout then its not that bad. You realized that you didn't have it so you stopped. That is good.

Most characters that you see portrayed in tv and books are severely bipolar or have borderline personality disorder and are not systems. The easiest way to tall is in the subtle mannerisms and whether or not they remember what happened when the other was fronting. A common example of DID in books and shows is Jeckl and Hyde, when either of them is fronting they have absolutely no memory of the time while they were in headspace.

If there are two or more distinct personalities, the character either has DID or OSDD. OSDD has its own list of qualifications that I dont remember off the top of my head.

Hope this helps! I'm happy to answer any other questions that you have!

:crying just a little in a good way: I barely know anything about Pebbles but I already wanna hug her ;u;

I'm really glad to hear that you all get along pretty well! And a lot of what you said actually lines up really well with my more recent character who has DID-adjacent (I call it "magic DID" actually, since they're a magical species ^^) so I'm glad to know I stumbled upon something semi-realistic.

I was more so asking about your thoughts/opinions on these characters that hint or denote being systems. Like, are any of them offensive, or do you like seeing the representation?

Anyway, I don't want to keep rambling on to you, so I won't ask anything else. But I'm still open to any questions you might have for me ^^ thanks for answering!

As long as the representation is accurate and does not paint DID in a negative light (i.e. violent, schizophrenic, crazy or disabled) I do not mind it! I enjoy seeing true representation.
