A scene from the evil chapter 12. Which nobody, including me, can figure out how the hell to get onto paper. Cut the artist some slack, that's not what I look like, but somebody can't paint faces.
My first introduction to multiplicity was the trauma-based definition and there are still a lot of people that think of it that way. DID, extreme abuse, all that. I don't want to run the risk of people overhearing little bits of what I talk about and classing me that way. I would find it beyond embarrassing to have to explain to someone that I was not badly traumatized, and in a way I find it disrespectful to the people who have survived stuff like that to turn "multiplicity" into a half-game that writers play and can put aside whenever it's convenient. It's the same way that I make a clear distinction between "autism" and "on the autism spectrum".
I figured that beauty_eternal knew enough about different terminology that I didn't have to worry about that confusion with her.
