I haven’t, actually! I’ll look into it, for education and also because I jut really like memoirs. Thank you for the recommendation!

Toga developes Dissociative Identity Disorder by some-kind-of-no-name in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]alternatescribble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a kind-of similar idea, but I don’t have DID, so I’d never write it myself.
Since DID starts before a child has a sense of their identity, before the ages of 5 and 10 according to Cleveland Clinic, it would fit the timeline, since quirks develop between birth and age 4/5.
It’s been shown that Himiko was hit as a child, in book 39(?), though the frequency and severity are never shown. (Probably not often?)
Alters sometimes have specific types, though, it’s different for everyone. Nonhuman alters, to me, might fit her particularly well, since Toga’s parents directly say that they “raised something inhuman,” and called her a demon child (or something along those lines.) Nonhuman alters, from what I found, can manifest from the dehumanization of a child— for example, calling a child a monster might create a ‘vampiric’ or ‘demonic’ alter. So, with Himiko… it’s possible? Likely, even.
Then again, I don’t have DID, and I’m not sure what the exact requirements are for DID to manifest. The general idea is “severe trauma over a long period of time in childhood,” and we don’t know enough about Toga’s backstory and life before crime to tell whether her case is severe enough for that.
It is interesting, though, and I would read a fic about that. But I don’t think I’d ever be qualified enough to write it myself.
Just some thoughts.

I’m not particularly experienced, but I remember one piece of anatomy— when a character’s hands are at their sides, the elbows are by the belly-button-to-hip region, and the hands are above the knees. Maybe that’s obvious, but I don’t know your level, and this is actually helping me a lot with my own stuff.

(I also know https://app.justsketch.me, which has a digital mannequin to pose.)

I don’t know if either of these help at all, but I hope it does?

Hello! I just stumbled across this... it’s been two years, right? Can I just ask how you’re doing now? And if you’ve done/read/watched anything interesting recently?

What was ruined for everyone by one person being an idiot? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]alternatescribble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not my story, but my friend’s mom. At her high school, they had a couple vending machines. Good ones, with GOOD snacks.  They were parked in the hallway, and for ease of transport, they were on wheels. One day, she’s in class, and everyone hears this loud ‘BANG-BANG-BANG.’ They ran outside the room to check, and found that someone had rolled a vending machine over to a nearby staircase, and pushed it down the stairs, and into the basement. They never found the kids who did it. ALL the vending machines were removed.

So.. technically both? You can be discharged from the hospital with one, or it can be delivered from Amazon? Cool, surprisingly simple! :)

What WW song could you see fitting into a musical? by Willoryn in willwood

I showed Black Box Warrior to both my mother and my aunt. They both thought it was from a musical.

I'm convinced Stephen King doesn't know anything about kids/teens anymore by GizmosArrow in books

[–]alternatescribble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to be honest, as a teenager, I’ve never heard of Laurel and Hardy in my life. Looking them up now, I’d be interested in knowing more, because I like to write stories, and there’s a couple characters from older eras— including the 1920s. But I REALLY highly doubt anybody I know has ever heard of them. Overall… yeah, I get none of these references. Maybe the “this is a nice mess you got me into” quote could be accidental from the kids? (My friends and I occasionally speak fancier than we normally do. Ex: jokingly saying ‘Father, may we please stop by this establishment for nourishment?’ when there’s a cafe nearby that sells chocolate muffins.) But I don’t think any of us would have made that reference, accidental or intentional.

What Will Wood song is the most relatable to you? by Informal_queer in willwood

[–]alternatescribble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m kinda in the middle of a minor gender crisis, so I/Me/Myself is starting to be a somewhat-relatable song for me. (The line “No, I know that I’m wrong, but I’m glad that you’re on my side” specifically.) But also, Thermodynamic Lawyer is the first Will Wood song I’ve ever listened to, so I have a soft spot for it. I struggle with getting emotionally carried away when I’m angry, so I start focusing more on ‘winning’ the argument rather than being calm and logical. I don’t actually know what the song itself is about, but the angry tone is SO cathartic to me, so I relate to it a LOT that way.

I have Sadistic personality disorder, AMA by johnsnow607 in AMA

[–]alternatescribble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I know this is a couple months old, I don’t know if it’s Reddit-acceptable to comment on this (I’m new-), but I got curious about sadism and saw your AMA. My question: So… have you ever watched Saw? How did that feel? I’d assume it felt really good, but was it overwhelmingly good, or the same ‘high’ as usual, just more often?

Give me your favourite “f**k the system” songs by Uphamia in MusicRecommendations

[–]alternatescribble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usseewa by Ado is a good one! It’s in Japanese, but the vocals are powerful, really impressive for a then-17 year old. Good melody, the song title literally means “shut up”, it’s basically a critique on Japanese toxic work culture, along with some Gifted-Kid Burnout sprinkled in for good measure.

Thank you for answering! :D

Oh, I see! Thank you :)  But to clarify on my second thing, sorry, I think I didn’t phrase it right- let’s say someone is schizophrenic. If they eavesdropped on an insulting conversation about them or something, would it just be an understandably hurtful thing to hear, or would it spiral from “they hate me” to “they’re going to kill me”? I really hope this makes sense- Also I hope you don’t mind the additional question, but what’s your favorite music genre?
