Questioning system here with some lighthearted feedback.
A little info on the multiple personalities prompt!!
- multiple personalities is an outdated term. The best ones to use are system, plurality, and for disorders it would be DID (and variants), OSDD, and UDD. Research will be ur best friend.
- the trigger of another alter (the word for one of the multiple personalities) when Stan is told to leave might be a little too vague of a trigger, maybe specifically the idea of being pushed away could be a better one? Again: research will be your best friend.
- usually (KEYWORD USUALLY!! IT ISN’T ALWAYS THIS WAY!!!) alters form in childhood as the mind can’t really cope with extreme continuous trauma at young ages, but also it’s usually covert or hidden (we didn’t start questioning until 18-ish?) until someone, usually the host / frequent fronter realizes ‘hey, I’m not alone in here’ so implementing some memory gaps in childhood would give more realism.
- NOT ALL SYSTEMS ARE THE SAME!!! Please please please I can’t stress this enough TALK TO SYSTEMS ABOUT WHATS GOOD AND WHAT’S BAD TO IMPLEMENT IN THE AU / PROMPT!!
Not all systems experience blackout amnesia (complete memory loss), not all systems experience switches the same (a switch would be alter A in control becoming alter B in control, like when Stan goes from goofy and bubbly to aggressive at the end of your prompt), not all systems are the same.
- if you wanna flesh this out, I highly recommend pluralpedia.com as a resource for certain roles and -genic terms (how they formed) and even how the system functions. Not a lot of systems like it, but it has an undeniably great collection of terms and tools.
This was from the latest prompt here!
I was gonna type out DID but I wanted to leave it more broad up to whoever may want to take the prompt (I didn't mean any ill intent, I am sorry) and frankly the idea came from Moonknight teeheh (i wanted it to be more of him being with 'powers' then scrapped it)
Overall, I left it pretty vague for people's interpretation.
Thank you so much for all this information >_< I really do appreciate it! Once again, as I said in the tags- I do not see the disorder as such, especially not as "ooo evil alter", I just thought it'd be cool if the soft side of Stan and his usual angry gruff one were sort of separated but not really.
I do not plan to flesh it out, ence it was a prompt and left pretty open :3 although I do hope anyone who is interested or liked it to take your advice ^^
