This Is Super Cute I Fear /pos - Tumblr Posts
for the love of god, endos, endo-adjacent, non-disordered, non-traumagen, so on... please just don't use this. this is not for you. this is for people with a CDD, which are inherently trauma disorders.
since CDD systems don't exactly have a symbol to represent ourselves that's by us, for us; at least that we know of (as i believe ‘&’ was created/popularized by endos as a symbol for ‘plurality’, and just feel personally uncomfortable with it; not to mention how they have a couple other symbols they use for themselves). so, we've decided to make one!
we've based it off of diagrams of the planetary orbit; we'd say there's two different ways of which to interpret the symbols details, but the big picture of it is simply: our solar system is the reason planet earth even has the capability of developing life forms like our flora and fauna, without everything in the placement it's in, we would not be alive today. much like how, without our systems, we would not be alive today. now, as for the interpretation of the details:
on a smaller scale, the spaces between each ring (orbital path) can be seen as the dissociative barriers between alters, with the alters being the circles (planets) on each respective ring. the inner circle (sun) representing survival and healing, as we formed as a means of survival but are now working to heal from our traumas.
on a larger scale, you could see the the spaces between each ring (orbital path) as the dissociative barriers between layers, the circles (planets) on each respective ring representing subsystems within those layers. the inner circle (sun) is always to be interpreted the same.
essentially, it's just capable of being interpreted in both ‘classic’ and complex system structure. the ring of circles (asteroid belt) is either meant to represent more alters, fragments, or the general feeling we have of a fragmented sense of self oftentimes.
this took us a little bit of brainstorming and adjusting to create until we ended up with something we like, so we hope the community likes it as well!
