Bio

hi! i'm not using my legal name here (confidentiality and all that) so you can just call me Limi or Hoshi. i'm autistic and fem-presenting genderfluid. i use all pronouns, but you can just default to she/her if not mentioned in my status. my writing style or tone might be inconsistent, so please let me know when that happens.

i'm here because my childhood kind of sucked (i think so; i wasn't there for most of it) and it's caused some Stuff™.


uhh some fun facts abt me:

  • aside from english, i speak Vietnamese at home and am currently learning Russian!
  • my favourite app is Obsidian – i use it for my worldbuilding and studies.
  • i like anything in the fantasy genre, cool archaeological discoveries, alt fashion, history and audio!
  • if you ask me if i like humanities or STEM subjects more it creates a paradox and causes a system reset (/lh; lighthearted)
  • uhhh i may have some kind of synaesthesia?? idk that one's still up in the air

if you made it this far, thank you for reading; and if you haven't, that's okay too!

...See more i'm wondering if it's possible to have something akin to DID but without fully-fledged alters?? most of the resources i can find sort of assume they have their own memories/consciousnesses, but what i (we??) have is more like one stream of consciousness that gets intruded on sometimes. usually, this looks like random thoughts, feelings or opinions that pop into my head out of nowhere. and there is amnesia, but it's more like a collective pool that degrades in quality over the course of days or weeks than between switches. i don't really know what it's like to have someone else take over my body apart from really stressful situations, it's more like i just randomly notice i feel like a different person. it's worth noting that the chance i've accidentally given myself symptoms is high - i'm at an Impressionable Age™ with a hyperfixation on mental health. afaik i've never been SA'd (i do have some self-inflicted child s-xual trauma but that's a whole other thing) and most of the stuff that's happened in my childhood that i know of is either very mild, a one-off incident, or only verbal/emotional (i.e. wouldn't cause a dissociative disorder according to the DSM.) i don't even meet PTSD criteria because i don't have flashbacks. so like. is this a thing or am i just pathologising normal human experiences? i can give more context if needed, but i may have to look at some of my old notes bc i can't think of anything off the top of my head.
