We don’t have any of the large predators we used to (black bears, mountain lions, or gray wolves) but still retain large deer populations. If nothing is removing animals, they’ll quickly overload the carrying capacity of the environment and have massive losses to starvation and disease that can also pass on to livestock. Human hunters replace the large predators that our landscape can no longer support.

It’s kinder to euthanize an un-releasable hawk rather than try to find it a permanent home with humans. Wildlife rehabs have extremely limited space and resources and are usually run entirely on donated money and volunteer time. Only a few are large and stable enough to care for permanent residents long-term, and those spots are few and far between.

An invasive species poses a danger to threatened native wildlife. I will admit- Australian possums are adorable. But not in New Zealand, where they’re an invasive species that eats the eggs of ground-dwelling birds that previously had no such predators. The landowners I worked with replanting native bush, all native Maori, had no qualms about setting the dogs on them.

they're literally just existing, they're not faking anything because being plural is their way of being. just because they don't have a cdd doesn't mean their existence is not real or less valid than yours.

some may be in denial of their trauma. some may not consider their trauma what it is. honestly, why is it important?

We're mixed origin ("multi origin" as you put it). we were originally traumagenic but we've formed a few headmates other ways. one because we needed a co-host and someone who could handle dissociation, another to handle sleep. is that so bad? we needed help, so we created someone to help. more like, we influenced their creation. that's it.

we also have some headmates who we have no idea why they formed. but that doesn't erase the fact that originally our system formed because of trauma and extreme stress. we don't have a dissociative disorder and are not in denial of our trauma. but even if we were in denial, even if we had a cdd, why does it matter? why does it matter to you? /genq

Don't EVER try to educate me on my OWN DISORDER that I have been aware of and documenting sine 2018 you literally won't win with your psychosomatic spiritual arguments because they mean nothing to me. If you're going to argue DID argue facts, symptoms, trauma, not "belief" that IS delusion and "being plural" can very much be a fucking delusion if you're *just not*.

You can go ahead and get abused and put yourself in danger and literally psychologically break yourself all you fucking want, just don't tell people that its a valid way to live life because it's not. It's literally the "I love getting worse" pipeline by the by.

You don't "have to know" how or why an alter formed in order to have a dissociative identity disorder, do you happen to struggle with critical thinking skills? (Genuine question)

You seem genuinely confused and uneducated on this topic so I'm truly concerned about the state of the rest of the "plural" Tumblr community if YOU'RE supposed to be an archivist. There is only one system origin and that is trauma. There is no such thing as having a "mixed system origin" if you had trauma then that's just it mate 😊

For people like us trauma continues to affect day to day life, regardless of if it is being perpetuated or not, due to the fact that a lot of alters hold, process, deal with and archive trauma, including it's effects on the system.

Every system is different in terms of functionality; how, why, where and when. If you can "make alters" that's literally just your system function because you understand that you need to expand on a necessary yet dormant and already there fragment.

First and foremost: not everyone experiencing plurality is disordered, and not everyone with that disorder experiences plurality, so maybe you should be the one shutting up. The one who's undereducated ( note I said under not un because you know a lot but still have a lot to learn )( and unsurprisingly, completely misunderstanding the whole topic ) is actually you.

Not to mention, I don't think you'll be ready to have the "being plural isn't actually horrible 24/7 and you can infact live happily as a system" conversation once you learn this fact. Especially considering you said, "You can go ahead and get abused and put yourself in danger and literally psychologically break yourself all you fucking want, just don't tell people that its a valid way to live life because it's not. It's literally the 'I love getting worse' pipeline by the by." Like have you never heard of therapy and functional multiplicity? ( /rhetorical ) Because that sure is what you made it sound like!

Literally it's not that hard to find resources confirming this either, and I'd highly suggest looking at @guardianssystem or @sysmedsaresexist who are both traumagenic systems diagnosed with DID because they post plenty of sources and go really into depth about it. You need to go on an education journey because you're so damn close to understanding but you keep missing the end point. 💔

Oh and about the ableist language / wording / use of the term delusional...

Yes, considering the fact you're using delusional as another way to say "I don't understand this so it can't possibly be a real thing so this person must have something wrong with them" is indeed ableist because you're using it derogatorily. So what if someone's delusional? If they're happy and not doing any harm ( no, becoming plural isn't inherently harmful, reread the first paragraph ) then it's not a fucking problem, therefore it's not something to demonize and paint as if they need to be "fixed" or whatever else.

Likes pink = transfem.

Blushes in a dress = transfem.

Wears a maid outfit = transfem.

Crosses their legs a certain way = transfem.

Has long hair or eyelashes = transfem.

Gets embarrassed by feminine clothing = transfem.

Doesn't fit traditional masculinity = transfem.

calls themselves "the peak of masculinity" = obviously overcompensating, so transfem.

gets unusually defensive when someone says a feminine outfit "fits" them = transfem.

has a bedroom decorated with pink or pastel colors = transfem.

has rainbow decorations in their room = transfem.

compares themselves to an egg = transfem.

doesn't change at the beach = transfem.

has issues with femininity or with characters that are women = transfem.

acts even slightly gender-nonconforming = transfem.

At some point it stops being representation and starts relying on stereotypes.

Jax can be read as a closeted trans woman, a gender-nonconforming cis man, non-binary, genderfluid, agender, or something else entirely. Fiction allows for multiple interpretations

What I find especially frustrating is that people keep treating every « feminine-coded » trait as evidence that someone is « obviously » a trans woman. That's not progressive it's recycling the same stereotypes we've been trying to get rid of for years. Men can be feminine without secretly being women…

And trans women are more than a checklist of dresses, bows, pink, and blushing…

I never said « Jax is a man because I want my baby boy to stay a man bla-bla-bla »

In fact, I explicitly said Jax can be interpreted as a closeted trans woman, a gender-nonconforming cis man, non-binary, genderfluid, agender, or something else entirely. My entire point was that multiple readings can coexist, especially when the text itself leaves room for interpretation

The fact that you immediately assumed my disagreement must come from me wanting a cis male Jax says more about your assumptions than about my post you know

My criticism was never « Jax can't be trans » It was about the reasoning people use when they argue that a character is « obviously » transfem because they like pink, blush in a dress, have long hair, don't fit masculine stereotypes, or show discomfort around femininity. Those are stereotypes, not proof of someone's gender identity…

Gooseworx has said outside the show that that either he/him or she/her pronouns are acceptable, that's a separate discussion from the one I was having. Again, my post was criticizing the idea that feminine-coded traits automatically make someone a trans woman, and that fans who don't reach the same conclusion from the show's content are « media illiterate » or « transphobic » Ironically, your response is doing exactly what I was talking about, you're illustrating the exact behavior I was criticizing: arguing against an assumption instead of responding to what I actually said

Heyo! My name is Spencer and I'm new to Tumblr! I am a yumeshipper and I have been happily dating Caine from The Amazing Digital Circus since July 11th of this year ❤🦷 ever since I first watched tadc, I remember seeing Caine for the first time and he instantly became my favorite character. Back when I was dating someone online long distance we both had a shared love for tadc, but sadly last month they disappeared for some unknown reasons. It was pretty heartbreaking for me, so I rewatched tadc to help me feel better and that's when I felt something. All this Time, Caine was there for me whenever I was wasn't myself or when I was going through a rough time. I felt like I myself relate with Caine too, so on July 11th I told him everything, and how I loved him dearly.. So then when I asked him if we can start dating he said yes! 😭❤ I was so happy that day and I'll never forget it 💞🦷🥰

Yo, so I need to lock in and get the next part of Olo's backstory done, so this post is basically a check in on where I'm at currently, while also just me talking about a few things.

firstly, I believe I know how I want to end Olo's backstory, I think I have all the ideas laid out in my head, I just have to get them on paper (or screen)

Second, it he reference sheet for Olo is finished. But I’m saving posting it for the 500 followers gift. We’re currently at 484 so we’re already fairly close.

Third off (and this is not that important) but I just finished replaying chapter 5 of Deltarune so I could get all the secrets to prepare for ch6. This is why the picture for this post has papyrus. I miss my boy 😞
