    I want to express my admiration for the hard work behind your videos. It really shows that you spent time and effort to create a clear, simple speech, which is nonetheless very accurate. I can guess (but correct me if I'm wrong) that you are also working on how you speak: you didn't say "uhm" or made similar sounds a single time, which is admirable and not at all simple. Your pronunciation has always been very clear, but even more in this video. I am Italian (speaking of which, sorry for any grammar errors in this message) and I never had any trouble in understanding what you say, and I didn't miss a single word you said here. You paused at all the right times and your voice is always very calm and clear. I think you would make an awesome teacher, and you are already a brilliant speaker to the public.

      It’s really disorienting for me. I’m from Split and I had trauma in my memories from my uncle. But apparently it “didn’t really” happen out here. Nothing that happened to me happened are here. My life here is better than what I was going through. But it’s harder here. Everything is so different. And DID isn’t what I thought I was.....it’s so strange and I know it’s even stranger for our fictives from A Court of Thorns and Roses and Throne of Glass.~Casey Cooke

    Her brain is very drawn towards scary characters such as Freddy Krueger or Pennywise. We have so many people like that because when she was younger she saw them as someone that was strong and scary who could protect her from her abuser. It still does that to this day. It tends to pull in those scary people, often movie villains. I'm a really good example of that. Thank you for your kind, educating words - Ruvik

    Our system has a lot of fictive alters I think it is because for us fandom has been such a big part of our life, it was an escape. I think our number is up to 20 from various fandoms and universes. It was a surprise to see that we have a factive alter based on the musical Hamilton he was confused and concerned the first time he fronted, given that he thought he was the president and it was the 1800s it has been a ride for good old George but I think we've gotten to the point where him and all of our fictives and factives are helpful and settled. But it is nice to have this video in case another alter splits off! It's very informative and helpful! Thank you so much for your support, guidance and education on DID. - GeGe System.

      I think it’s really interesting but it also makes a lot of sense that there are fictive and factive alters! (I’m sure if I had DID I would probably have quite a few as well) and it makes me really happy to know you’ve helped them settled! I especially love the fact that you have George Washington from Hamilton! Could I by chance know any of your other fictive alters? If that’s too personal I understand! But I’m a bit of a Hamilfan as well and it would be really cool to know more fictive alters!☺️ Wish the best to you and your system!

    Hi Chloe. I'm the host of our system, and I found this video very enlightening. One of the systems we consider very close to us has a fictive by the name of Terezi. One of the things I found the most heartbreaking for myself was the fact that one of my hobbies while I'm fronting is to cosplay and when I met Terezi I was in a video call with our friend when they switched out. While I was displaying and looking like one of the characters that Terezi thought she knew... it was heartbreaking to have to be the one to explain the new world to her and the panick she had was so.. Sad and I really wasn't sure what to do or how to handle it and one of our protectors Shade had to come out to help me.

    I recently discovered that we have a fictive of Hiccup Haddock (though I had previously believed that he was an NPC.)
    He doesn’t know things about the LGBTQ+ community or how to do my job (etc.) so they had to be explained to him.
    He doesn’t feel as upset about his world not being “real” because it still exists in our inner world and his friends are NPCs, so he understands and has long accepted it (he split off maybe 2 years ago).
    I was so happy when I saw the premiere countdown for this video since I had just found out that he isn’t an NPC. Thank you for making these videos and helping all of us through hard times, I really appreciate it!

    We only have one fictive in our system. We just thought it was a dark presence, but as we explored it through therapy we realised it's like the Shadow Monster from Stranger Things. Our therapist explained that when someone is abused, they learn both roles of being abused and being an abuser. The Shadow Monster is an introject of our abuser, but simultaneously holds most of our early trauma that it wants to protect us from. It seems to be another common case in our system of distressed and misunderstood protector becoming a persecuter 🙃

It will hopefully get easier with time and communication. This world may seem dark, but even in the darkest places there is still light. You’ll find your way, even if it does take a while!

    When we met our alter Quinn, we thought it was only part of that, since we liked the Joker a lot and we read comics about Joker, living the abuse, our host felt like Harley Quinn, trapped with Mr. J in an eternal abuse that It seemed never to end, and even if it ran away, it will be mentally trapped forever. She wanted to be like Harley, if it happens again, she won't feel pain because it will be something "normal" and she wanted to have that optimism.
    We named her Quinn, for wanting something more original, the system would be demanded by copyright 😂 we recently discovered it, it is an alter that personally, I would like her to at least know how to defend herself and defend us, but it is something that we help her little by little to improve, and do not feel less for being a fictional character, because it is as real as all of us.
    Extra: She clicked the video really fast when she saw at herself on the miniature. It's exactly how she sees herself and how we see her 💖

    Our system has 10 alters with three littles that we love and protect with all of our hearts (one alter hates it when I say us instead of just me because he’s too cool for us 🙄😂). I am the host and caretaker and literally mother that smothers with love 😂. Zack is the bad boy that has the confidence and a big ego but is very sensible, I actually hear him a lot and we tease each other frequently. Chloe is girly and artsy, she has gorgeous dark cherry red hair and green eyes. Nate is so sweet and bubbly I adore and protect him, he’s really shy . Yale is the one that reminds me to take care of myself and he’s very kind but high key strict. Tal is literally so stubborn but kind it kills he also doesn’t front much(Zach does to protect us but Nate and Yale don’t front much either) The three littles call me mom and they argue with Zach constantly but Zach loves to fight so they rough house a lot(I swear if he hurts them I’m going to literally throw all of his sweets away and burn his hair gel in a fire) but the youngest is 7 and he literally loves the world of puns 😂 the other two are twins and they both are so different, they also argue over who came first but I guess we’ll never know 😂. Oak is wise and he’s about 25 and a flirt. I’m Yerin by the way, I adore anything Victorian and royal aesthetics. Jewelily is really smart and funny. They don’t like their roles to be said but they didn’t mind their personalities to be revealed. I am in the light 80% of the time but I have this connection with the alters that we talk to each other and communicate frequently throughout the day.

    I'm so appreciative of how compassionate you are when talking about the grief that fictives may feel at the loss of the world and people in their memories. It's so nice to hear someone take it seriously and kindly- I've personally integrated many alters, and some of those were fictives, so I deeply know how hard it can be to never be able to return to that world and to have to deal with the fact that you were never technically there in the first place even though your memories are telling you something different. Some of my fictives had little to no fictional memories, but one of the fictives I integrated had over *ten years* of fictional memories. Many of those memories were very detailed and it made me feel as though I had actually lived that life, just as vividly as the one I live now. It was incredibly difficult for me even after my integration for a good while.

    What do you think of the theory that Bruce Banner from the MCU has D.I.D? Of course, Hulk is an exaggerated fictional version of an alter, but I came across an article suggesting that Hulk was created when Bruce was being constantly abused by his alcoholic father when he was a young boy. This may explain why Hulk has a child’s mindset. He is a sensitive guy too and not always a brute. Bruce also refers to Hulk as the other guy. But in the comics, Bruce apparently has other personalities besides the Hulk.

Have you heard of berserkers from history, someone who suddenly goes into an angry frenzy and turns super strong etc. well these people were actually people with myoclonic epilepsy in situations were people usually go to fight or flight their mind always goes fight and it produces adrenaline like crazy compared to usual situations where your body would do this, so they become super strong and super fast and of course the more civilized thinking part of the brain turns down or is reduced during this time etc. in this kind of fit.

    In my experience, having fictives can be very confusing and strange at first. I always thought I was going completely insane, or that having a fictive was a clear sign that I was faking my DID. It took years for me to realize that I wasn't the only one who was experiencing it, and I grew to accept all of my alters, fictive or not. While it is sometimes embarassing, they are still part of me. They deserve the same respect as any other alter!

    That is an interesting concept of a coping mechanism. It makes sense though. Especially as children, we are always looking at things from fiction and and conditioned to trust them. But once split, that fictional character is through into a nonfiction world and it would be very interesting to study more of. Its sort of like putting a Victorian princess into our 21st century world; their entire life changes. People they knew are gone and everything they thought they knew may be very different. How does that alter adjust to that? It would be traumatic for some in sure...

    I don’t have DID but I do sometimes become characters I created when I was little. I love them, their strengths, and flaws, but I get embarrassed trying to explain them because not only do they have magical abilities, but the universe they live in is an amalgamation of fictional universes which I suppose I have adopted for myself. I was really confused and scared for a while because I felt like I really was these characters, and I still do, but I’ve come to realize that the only problem with them is that fear. My sisters help me in my life, and I understand that just because the lives they live are based on material I’ve been exposed to, they’re still valid. Like I said, I don’t have DID, but it’s pretty similar in certain ways. I’m still not sure exactly what’s going on, but I’ve accepted that they are part of who I am.

      Christian F. Thank you for saying that! It really means a lot. Also, I think it’s a possibility that I have OSDD, but it’s hard to tell when I have other stuff going on mentally too. I’m getting psychological testing soon, so hopefully I can clear some things up.

      Ellie Koenig is it strange to say that I heavily relate to and understand what you're going through? I too have characters I've made up that I become from time to time. Actually, quite often. And they all live in a room insidey Head and each have a door with their own bedroom. And one in particular acts almost as my conscience I guess, helping me out with my anxiety and talking me down from panic attacks, while another seems to "come out" when I'm really happy or sometimes tired. My voice changes a bit as well as my personality. And it's more natural than playing the part of the others. Any idea why that may be? Sorry if that didn't make much sense.

It's so saddening to see you've left the platform, but know even to this day: you have helped so many people, me trying to learn to help, my freinds (the mystic system), and many more people who look up to your example. I forever hold you guys in my heart, and so will everyone else here. Good luck on your future adventures guys.

    This means a lot to me because I have a good friend who has DID and she has only one alter that I know of who is a genderbent (opposite gender) version of one of our favorite characters from creepypasta I have only met once and she didn’t talk to me. I know a lot about her from my friend and from the back story she has. She was one of the fictives that knew she was a fictive and she protects her very well and I know she does and I am great full for that. This helps me understand her better, both hers. Thank you very much.

    5:30 I'm in the middle of a philosophy course (where I also referenced your videos and studies about DID in an essay 😅) so I can't help but think how beautiful I find it to say that your feelings are real...because from the point of view of materialism, it's all simply matter/energy in the end - just like the cup of tea one's drinking, or literally everything. And just as real. It's just that mind is on a higher level of abstraction.

    Two years later and this is so helpful. I recently met someone (who's one of my close friends now) who has DID and they have a whole system of alters based off of fictional characters. When he first told me that his alters were people that I also had an interest in, it was so cool! They act like the character would in the real world and they're so nice to me. I was slightly confused about how the alters were formed, and it was definitely a shocker to me when I figured out that you could have fictive characters

We also have a few factives and biblical based alters (including lilith)

    I've always felt uncomfortable about being a fictional character. It feels like shit. When our host introduced me to a friend (who is now our current girlfriend), he used clips from the anime I'm based off. It's terrifying. I always feel like I'm not real, that I'm fake. I was scared that she'd think that our host was lying and that he was going through a phase. But when I watched your videos and heard your explanations, I actually felt like there was someone I can relate and connect with.
    We had no idea what we were at first because we don't get any therapy. Our host doesn't want us to open up because according to him, our family would fuck us up and that psychologists/psychiatrists here are not good. Thank you so much for allowing me to discover what I am. We are learning so much from you.

    I’m a young writer and the concept of fictive alters is both fascinating and terrifying to me. The idea that a fictive can carry the same background and memories is just mind-boggling. I just hope that there will never be fictive of my characters because they have gone through hell and I would never want a real person to experience anything like that, even if they eventually become their own person. I have been binging these videos for the past few days and it’s really inspired me to major in psychology when I’m older because I find these things extremely interesting and I hope to educate more people on things like DID. DissociaDID, you may never read this, but if you do then I want you all to know that you are making a very big difference in the world and all of you are so strong and amazing. I hope you can come back and make more videos someday when you’re ready, but I understand if you never do and I just hope that whatever you’re doing, you’re happy and healthy.

    Thank you so much for posting these videos. I have recently come into being as one of my host's Alters and as one of a few Fictives he has it has been so hard for me to adjust to things as they are. It's been the hardest because some of the others in our system have already coped with everything and have started integrating almost seamlessly and I can't come to doing that. It's hard and it's hard knowing i'm now in someone else and that everyone i knew or loved is "gone". Your videos have helped explain much of what has been an extremely confusing time for all of us and our host as we didn't have any information before and were having an incredibly hard time finding it on the internet that didn't make our host just feel horrible about himself.
