As much as I wanna give some witty reply to this im gonna be reasonable and ask politely that you dont come to me about this stuff /nm

i realize we had gotten their age wrong, we had only been friends with them for a year, so they had already been 19 for a while when we met and became friends, and were on their way to becoming 21 when they cut us off

the alter they made these jokes with and who was host for a majority of our friendship was an age slider who frequently regressed, AND saw them as a father figure

being so explicit with someone whos bodily around 3 years younger, and sometimes mentally as much as 10 years younger than you is WEIRD, maybe if we were both in our twenties yeah it wouldnt be that bad of an age gap, but we're not, theres a huge maturity difference between someone whos in their second year of highschool and someone who could be 2 years into college (just to put into perspective)

AND for it to be with someone who views you as familial? especially a parental figure? thats not okay

Man that's a lot of GlitchyRed AIs.

Been having an itch to draw me mutuals' boys for a long while now. Please ignore the fact that I spent 12 hours straight working on this in addition to the many ones from yesterday--

I feel like that's such a big issue that isn't talked about a lot in the community and isn't taught to newly discovered systems. And it's such an important part of figuring your system out, this acceptance that even with your alters around, that doesn't make y'all perfect!! That doesn't make you functional, and it doesn't get rid of your issues, it just lands a tool! And tools need to be learned to use, like everything in your life. If you hand a toddler a fork and tell them to work with it, it doesn't matter that it always existed. The toddler has no idea how to use it, and they still gotta figure it out! And that process and the end result is different for everyone!

Y'all need to figure out what works for you, y'all. Especially those of you systems who discovered themselves recently or who are still figuring themselves out. Nothing is perfect, nobody is perfect, a system doesn't guarantee you a perfect life; it doesn't mean that just cause you have, say, alters in your system who formed to take care of the body, then your body will be awesome, amazing, you'll feel great physically, stop all self-destructive habits, etc.

Cut yourselves some slack. It's okay.
