time to bring this back . because sometimes , normal questions do not tell enough ! :P

some of these directly involve other folks in collective , others just simple answer .

who is most tired sleepy , truly ?

best animal , pineapple on pizza , candy corn - these arguments all old news . what trivial topic get everyone really passionate ?

ask someone to play mad lib , then post results here .

who is most likely to eat dirt ?

what is most niche musical genre of interest among collective ?

if could swap voice with anyone else in collective , who would that be ?

if " system achievements " could get awards , what would those be ?

choose someone , and doodle that person in 30 seconds .

wrong answers only : how did this particular system form ? cheese factory accident , maybe glitterbomb , or something else entirely ?

what is key meme in collective culture ? is this outerworld meme or original meme ?

how many stems could systems sys if systems could sys stems ?

how many people have skill and knowledge to change lightbulb , and how many would take to change lightbulb ?

if there was only 1 cheese cube left in whole entire world , who should get to eat ? one person - too small to cut up and share !

with permission , choose someone to interview for 1 minute , then post results here .

talk about gender , either personal or collective … without any gendered words .

any prank stories to tell ?

by that, i mean that it reflects our homeworld in some ways. susie's little home area is a cozy little tent in a spooky forest. mine is an old inazuman house (manor? it has a few rooms) in a large maple forest, and ornstein's looks a bit like the forested areas outside anor londo or oolacile pre-abyss (think the area around the path to the duke's archives).

i think that most advice from the internet is like... if you have did go to therapy and i bet thats useful if u can have it but if you cant, its so isolationg. especially with an individualistic (every man for himself) culture, people often tell u to just... go to therapy bro. dont bother me about it.

here are fr some tips as someone who has a lot of problems and is not in therapy:

prioritise staying alive. it can never get better once you are dead.

take your time with it. you dont need to post alter intros or have a plural kit. you dont need to have a journal. take time to be comfortable as you can even if the circumstances are very bad

depending on your amount of control and interaction with your system, introduce people who don't have a lot of life experience to new things like food, new colours and textures and places. this especially applies if you have a bunch of alters who only really know the environment of their abuse

build community. its really really really hard but do try. having friends kept me alive. it still keeps me alive.

learn about healthy relationships - we all have internet access. learn about boundaries and triggers and talking to others healthily. a lot of people with did will struggle with healthy relationships even if they make them. learn and do your best to act with it

treat your body like a rental or a pot plant or an animal if needed - even if it doesnt seem like yours, you gotta feed and water and walk it bro. u need the sun. you need enrichment and interaction.

ignore the discourse if youre struggling - it actually doesnt matter and will make you more sick. thinkning about endo vs trauma or like.... idk... labels discourse can be a major stressor that can lead to warping your sustem presentation or repressing and harming bits that arent conforming well

engage in things that are irl like building mini legos or clay - it can help make outside a better environment and shit, aklso can help ground.

find your own triggers and talk about it with ur system. write notes or yap.

find joy in being alive and being a system. despite what reddit or youtube or whatever will tell you, as things improve they will get better. and u should look for joy and funnies when you can

dont give up

LISTEN TO YOUR SYSTEM. THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS GOING TO BE RIGHT. THEY LIKELY ARE ASSHOLES OR INSANE JUST LIKE YOU. BUT YOU LIVE TOGETHER.

healing is easier as a team.

Basically this is a problem like in general but we work at a liquor store. We could get in major trouble with the the law if we fuck up, and we almost did today because SOMEONE was like "but he said? they weren't together??". PEOPLE LIE, KAZUHA.

Also he won't leave co-front and it's pissing me off a little.

unfortunately this is still an issue with me being in or near front. while both lohen and ornstein (who are our "task performers", for lack of a better role term) are more than capable of the necessary confidence, i am decidedly not. and i do not know how to solve this problem.

Anyone have some for lack of a better word: *intresting* pairings be it either familal or romantic from introjects getting connected by system logic some how?

For example we have Lute (from Hazbin Hotel) dating some cookies from Cookie Run Kingdom and her brother is the player character from Dead Cells lol
