OC A Comic about DID - Part 9 [OC]

If you want to help playtest this mod, join our Discord! It features the creation of different "profiles" on one account which each have their individual skin, location, inventory, and their own keep inventory toggle.

You can download this without joining the Discord here, but keep in mind it's still in early beta so there will probably be bugs. The keybind for the alter menu is 'K' by default.

Does your body ever sleep, or is someone always awake? Is any of your alters a writer? Have you ever split chores between your alters to avoid doing something you don't like, whereas your alters don't particularly mind?

Not the artist, but I and all the systems I know have a normal sleep schedule. One of us is a writer. We keep a running to do list.

That's so cool. From what little I know, DID comes from childhood trauma, so I'm sorry it happened, but I can't help finding the idea of multiple people in one body incredible (unless some of them are assholes. That would be rough. It's already hard to be at peace with yourself when there's one of you, I can't imagine having actual beef with someone else, and sharing your body with them. That would be the ultimate asshole roommate hell).

I'm not sure what to ask more, so I'll ask this:

If you had to describe the most important part of your experience to someone else (either the part you feel is more precious as a personal truth, or the thing that stuck with you the most, or anything else), what would that be?

Hmm. You ask the absolutely least introspective one in the system this.

We just exist. It's an unusual form of existing is all. We just want to live our life.

Thank you. That was a perfectly fine answer, and to me it holds more depth than you probably think. Hope y'all get the best in life, lol
