Daily Diary Doodle - #002 - Of Forgetting

People talk about forgetting the sadness, but never the sadness of forgetting. We struggle to live for the future, because we know that the moment it's the past, it'll likely be forgotten within a day. It's dissociated into oblivion, lost to time, never to be remembered- and with the relatively high levels of aphantasia, we can't even picture it if we could.⠀ ⠀ We have to track everything we do every day, we track which Alters front, who did what, just to know that it ever even happened. We remember the plot of the big things, but so few details-- and even then, we can't trust if they were real.⠀ ⠀ It's been a sore subject lately. I record all our roleplay footage, because the moment it ends we've forgotten the majority; and this day it didn't save. I cried. I know it was a wonderful scene- a big moment for Phineas- but I'll never remember, fully, what I even did. Others get that memory, but I don't?⠀ ⠀ Photos, Videos, Physical Memories, are so important to us,⠀ because maybe then, we exist in some form of solidity.⠀

We're 28. We shouldn't have to live like this.⠀

Lady Margaret Cromwell - Concepts

Quick sketches for an old ‘Elite Encounters’ character. I don’t remember too much about her, apart from a bitter attitude about losing out on a Baroness title to her sister. The easiest way to her heart was wine and useful information.~

'the Personifications' - Iris // Light/Sight - Final Concepts

'The Personification of Light, of whom- like all senses- lacks a sense: for her, it is Sound. Not that it ever stops her; spoken language is a newer concept, and visuals have been here since the beginning.

Rarely found in the same outfit twice, always found with a large pair of glasses, and never found wearing a grey darker than silver: Iris has been known to up the brightness in the lives she enters as she governs over her purpose.'

One of the more perplexing deities, of whom hasn't been entirely fleshed out in the story yet. But her design is finalised! Or at least, one of them; she always wears her hair/outfit differently.

System sketches from the last year or so. Drawn by various Alters, of various Alters, and of our Inner World.

It’s been a stressful, insightful, eventful journey since the May of 2019, having found out we had Dissociative Identity Disorder. A lot of things started to make sense, but in that, a lot of things were new and unrelenting. Those ‘episodes’ we had suddenly had a name- dissociation- and those ‘overbearing reactions’ had a reason- emotional flashbacks- and god our host was in such heavy denial of it all for so long.

But eventually the confusion let up a little, and we started accepting it, and working together to find coping mechanisms, and using our openness of it all to help educate others and fight the stigma. Things got better, but it’s still been incredibly tough. So, to see if it helps piece the puzzles of our fragmented being together, we’ve tried to document things in amongst the forgetting.
