[ This blog is still alive!! I went through a very very rough period and lost all energy to do art for a while.. I’m still working on owed art, but I’m almost done! Then this blog will be coming back. Though, I may change a few things to get through asks quicker since it takes me so long to do an answer and I still don’t have much art energy in me. We’ll see! ]

(theghostcity) Wit: Ok so! What exactly is this guild for? Do you fight demons and monsters? catch outlaws? rescue people? educate? run commerce?
There was nothing but pain and a glimmer of anger in Helio's eyes, as he explained.
"It's not safe anymore to even fuckin' go for a walk. Whatever.. Virus, or whatever disease that spread to most of the others, it made them aggressive. Some grew, some became smarter. Most of us have someone we lost."
Lulian's eyes looked up from what she was doing at the desk, only to quickly look back down. Made herself more busy. This was a topic neither of them wanted to think about- but it was life to them. They didn't have to. At least, until now. Being presented, again, with a future that led to nowhere but death when everyone finally gave in. No hope for a cure. To be brought down to visceral emotions and the absolute need to fight to survive. Why would they want to think about it any more than they had to every day?
"Ya' want to see for yerself? Look out the fuckin' window."
Helio pointed half-heartedly to a crack within the boards that covered up anything that could be broken through. Lulian looked like she wanted to say something, but thought better. It wasn't something that she thought anybody needed to see. It was hard to take.

Truman: "Is.. Is that the name of a band? I LOVE bands!!! Are you a member?? What instrument do you play?"
"That would be quite an interesting band though! Maybe...indie?
There's no members either, since it isn't a band. The Filtration System are Dawei's personal assistants! Their base is this village!"
This blog has reached its first big milestone, with hopefully more to come in the future!!! To celebrate, I'm going to be holding a design raffle, so prepare for that. Gonna be fun!
Thank you guys for being patient with my update schedule.. I swear this blog isn't dead, I'm just currently going through a lot of work related stress that has at times rendered me pretty vegetable-y. Things will happen soon!
{ Normally I would do a promo post but my head is killing me and I want to start this out tonight, just so I can type this all out now before a busy-ish day tomorrow.
Some information:
!! Server is 18+ only !!
- It’s open to writing and art ask blogs all the same, no biases here!!
- I added some roleplay channels because I, too, am a writing nerd.
- May get an IC group chat channel too.
- There’s a daily prompt channel to help kickstart some doodle ideas
- We have a blueflag system. If someone is talking about something triggering, you can react with a special emote to have them move to the dedicated blue flag channel
!! Invite only !! You have to DM me for an invitation, as there is a bit of a screening process. I’m looking to create a safe and welcoming environment, and we all know of those transphobes and stuff that hang on to this community for dear life. If you’d like to be a part of the screening team as well, you can always shoot me a DM! I will keep the screeners anonymous, to avoid shit thrown at them. }
{ An update!! IC groupchat channel has been added. Prepared for shenanigans }
[ If anybody out there ia feeling discouraged because their art doesn't get a lot of attention, or you use a media that just in general gets kind've ignored in the long run.. Just know that I am your fan and I love what you do!! I'm rooting for all of the underdogs out there! ( Unless of course you're doing something gross/illegal but y'know. Disclaimers n all that ). ]
[ Share some love between yourselves and fellow artists. Give everyone a compliment or two if you see their art getting ignored. Spread positivity!! :) ]
[ Happy birthday to me!!! :] ]
[ A new bab for the blog!! This l’il guy is going to be the captain of the scouts. A little wobbly while flying, but both Truman and Helio trust him to get the job done! He’ll be on the blog sooon. ] [ The person who made the design was Spookawaii :] ]
[ Could use a few more asks, so I'll do an ask for an ask! I'll be making an ask hints post tomorrow too. Taking a break in the plot to let Helio interact with other characters, so technically your asks don't even have to be plot-related. I only ask for no just hello asks. ]
☆ How did they become a guild leader?
☆ Literally any questions about DID they will answer. Helio knows more than Truman does.
☆ How did they get their cybernetics?
☆ How can you be so happy with things the way they are?
☆ Do they like their alters?
☆ Why is Helio so protective?
☆ They like to sing? Why? + any questions about music.
☆ Why so grumpy?
☆ Why so protective of Truman?
☆ Thoughts on Truman?
☆ Why the pony tail?
☆ Do you see yourself as a good person?
☆ Where are they? What is this place?
☆ How strong is Trulix, really?
☆ Why do hybrids get so much flak?
☆ What exactly are those hunting parties mentioned?
☆ What happened to the world?

A snort at the comment from Helio. There was no intentions to get up, and quite frankly he really didn’t want to. The urge to just.. Drift back to sleep was so strong now. Only thing keeping him awake was the short Umbreon standing above him.
“Wasn’t gone long enough. Damnit, Lulian.. I was so close this time. What the fuck.”
Lulian could only offer a sad smile in return, knowing from experience that nothing she could say here would help. Sometimes, silence was the best answer to tricky things. It was one of the reasons that Helio tolerated her presence. She knew, because he often brought it up after spending time with the others. After the silence stretched a bit too long, and it seemed pretty evident that the guildmaster was actually falling asleep, she spoke up. Moving all the while to walk to the desk in shambles by the opposite wall.
“You know, you almost scared off one of our new recruits. I was able to calm them down enough to bring them to the guest sleeping quarters. Still, I’m sure they’ll be sleeping with one eye open tonight.”
“Well, the fuck did he expect? Showing his face around here like that. Only reason I didn’t fry their ass was because of Truman who...” He sat up then, and touched his claws to his cheek. “Stopped me..”
“You’re a hypocrite. Talk the big talk about how important bravery is, then you look down on someone who’s brave enough to show his face to you after that.”
A scoff and a laugh.
“Sure, I guess. Whatever. Didn’t seem very brave when I got rightfully fuckin’ mad, did he?”
“You’re scary. I don’t blame them. Anyway, you’ve got more guests.. From... Somewhere?”

[ For real though like- it makes me so happy to see resource posts and the like bein' spread tonight. DID and OSDD and the like get so much shit from all sources. I dunno where I fit into anything. I dunno if I'm just crazy or if the things I've heard/hear are actually there, but this is a hill I will die on to spread positivity and actual factual information. ]
Hello. Do you have any advice for someone who is freshly making a character with DID ˙˚ʚ(´◡`)ɞ˚˙?
sorry am late..! i don't check here that often smh
ended up long WOOPS
OP we are SO SORRY to hijack your post BUT we have been a fan of this comic/blog for years + this ask blog was INTEGRAL to us beating our plural egg up, and we have spent the last ten years researching plurality. We’re also working on a series of essays talking about the way to respectfully write a system, in regards more specifically to a lot of plural-coded tropes (seen below in one of the lists).
There are going to be a few little pieces to the following essay, broken up into neat little chunks for ease of perusal:
SO. UNDER THE CUT, IF ANYONE CHECKS THE NOTES AND IS LF MORE IN-DEPTH SHIT. OP HAS A GOOD SELECTION BUT I ALSO HAVE WAY TOO MANY RESOURCES.
Before we begin, though: content warning ahead for mentions of integration, forced integration, evil alter stereotypes, and other general Singlet Nonsense!
Stay safe and skip this one if it’s not your cup of tea!!
1: Here are those resources, first off:
[ I'm gonna share this again on here because- as a blog about a very small system- this is all very very important to share and also? And also? Listen. Come here. Come close. ]
[ If I see anybody making alters who are evil shits and just front to hurt or kill or whatever the like I will personally kick your ass. I'm so TIRED of it. Alters are there to protect the host and for survival. For example, Helio is a hard ass and a jack ass but he is the protector and he will hurt anyone who is trying to hurt his alters or himself or the body, and especially. Especially Truman, the host. ]
[ This makes me so happy to see, as someone who has made this blog and is working on my game about the lads to spread DID positivity because let me tell you, it's bare bones and absent in media. ]
[ Okay that's all I'm not trying to hijack any posts ]
