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.

Mr Kensington; the primary Protector -- 28 - he/they - marionette

Some of you might actually remember Mr Kensington, one of two matching marionettes that we once thought characters, and eventually ‘Mental Guides’. In all actuality- and in hindsight it’s so very obvious- they were both Alters.

Mr K’s been looking out for us since childhood, primarily handling high-intensity situations that the others can’t handle. He's had to put up with a lot of shit, and we’re incredibly appreciative of him and his logical, no-nonsense attitude, and even- dare I say it- his sarcasm.~

When the two remaining Pokémon in a Soul Link run are a Drifblim and an under-leveled Kakuna, the Drifblim kinda carries the team...

theAtomicBear and MacandJak streamed a Soul Nuzlocke; two of the Pokémon were named after our Alters-- Miss & Mr Kensington. As every Pokémon died around them, Miss Kensington absolutely obliterated everything she touched. Mr K, not so much.~
