New Mapping Notice
Darkside is my best friend, and has been referred to as my Best Friend The Gentleman and The Only Gentleman In Arizona. He is now also referred to as Peter and Evil.
Peter is short for Peter Pan, the innocent kid who is going to have issues about growing up.
Evil is that shadow side everyone seems to have, the one who wants to do the wild and crazy things that the normal self would avoid.
Darkside has been used in the past to refer to the part of him now known as Evil, but will from now on be used to indicate my best friend as a whole, both the sweet side and the outrageous side, as well as the day-to-day personality he has that's neither the soft mushy side he tries to hide, or the impulse to do things that he normally would think of as Just Plain Wrong.
Confusing? Of course. When am I not? When is he not?
Speaking of "I" -- map us now as "Joanie" and "Dagger", subsets of the Collective. Collectively calling us Azz is just fine; nobody's likely to get very territorial about names, so any of the usual addressings will do.
The name Dagger comes from Final Fantasy 9. For those of you who haven't played it, a character decides that <spoiler> is a wuss name and insists on being addressed as Dagger from now on.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ralmathon was the person who first learned the name, and agrees that it's rather appropriate.
Splitting personalities, in this case, is recognizing a rather broad new division in the personality filing system, one that may or may not have been there before, and in any case must be recognized before it does damage to delicate processes. Recognizing it has cleared up any number of "But ___ is just not like me! How could I just have ___?" conflicts, especially relating to Darkside and his level of touch-comfort. Recognizing that there's a part of me that just wants to toss him on the nearest surface, strip off his pants, and get it on, regardless of his feelings in the matter, makes those impulses that much more easy to control.
