The word sub system can have several meanings when discussing DID/OSDD. When talking about a personality as a whole a sub system refers to emotional sub systems, or emotional action chains. This type of action chains is present in every person with a personality …
Blurry can be an abstract concept for someone who does not have DID/OSDD and may be a little difficult to understand. Blurry describes a "feeling" or internal state of a System. Being blurry is not always a stressful or upsetting incident, this is more dependent on the individual and …
We have previously shown how Hikari allows you to build simple GUI's with buttons1, but it can feel a little clunky to work with. That's because Hikari only covers the Discord API expects you to use handler libraries to fill the gaps. Hikari has an extremely active community, with …
We would much rather be making cool tutorials, streaming code, and making accessibility tools. Unfortunately we have bills and a job. Hopefully one day, with enough Patrons and donations this can be fulltime!
We've produced a lot of helpful articles since the site was created! Articles that help explain Plurality with DID/OSDD, tutorials that teach programming, and a lot more. With more articles coming all the time, some places have found linking our articles a good way to provide manuals or tutorials …
Tanjun uses a lot of decorators! The decorators are wonderful in helping simplify and cut down how much code we end users have to write, but it can hide what's really happening. This post will walk you through making a slash command and slash command group with no decorators at …

Tanjun uses a more functional approach than other Discord libraries. Functional in this post does not mean, provides more utility, but rather is written in a functional programming style. One good example is how hikari and Tanjun implement a Bot.
In other Discord libraries you create a new class that …
If you've never interacted with a System before you might be unsure what's appropriate to ask and talk about. How do I know who's fronting? What if I need to talk to another Part? This is not an exhaustive list and every System will have their own preferences. This should …
We've been running semi-large Discord Servers (25-32K) for about 7+ years now. Over that time we've tried all the popular bots. All of them had their pros and cons but none ever fit all of our needs. We often ended up having 6+ bots to …

It is not always obvious what Part is fronting in a System. Some have more obvious traits like favorite clothes or specific postures, but that's not always the case. In most Systems the Parts will still have some differentiating behaviors. Katie, in our system, has more feminine voice but is …
