Mindscape - The Firelight Woods

A deciduous wood that changes distinctly in each season. From pastels in spring with vibrant flowers, to a deep green in summer, to shades of yellows, oranges, reds and browns in fall, finally to dark tree trunks contrasted in frosty white snow. All throughout the year, fireflies can be seen dancing and weaving through the trees at night fall, creating a beautiful display.

This is the clearing where Theodore and I sit and watch said fireflies.

Goddamn it, this is a beautiful masterpiece, keep going like that! Your drawings are so beautifully done that I just can't help but love it!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

That's not Elijah....

Last week, my therapist and I discovered a new Part in my system. He can take on the form of other Parts, though he has stated he never takes Vader's form. Ever. He can influence Parts too, like a puppet master. He's an illusionist. He does have a default form but he is not comfortable with me showing it. He's normally very nonchalant. Once I notice a slight thing off, his illusions just crumble and I realize I was not communicating with the Part I thought I was.

He does not frighten me in the least.

You were wrong. Go back.

Take a wild guess who my favorite character is. C’mon, give it a try. You’ll never guess in a million years…

This is the cover I made for a sunflower fanfiction I’m working on! It’s called Dreaming Of You on Wattpad. It’s an AU that takes place after the bad end, mostly from Basil’s POV. Only about 5 chapters out, and progress might be slow because of school TvT

Here’s the description of the fanfic:

It's been one week since Sunny was found dead near the entrance of the hospital building. Basil's 'Something' has disappeared. He forced himself to tell his friends the truth, even if Sunny hadn't. But he's far from relieved. His best friend is gone. And then, as Basil drifts off to sleep one lonely night, he begins to dream of something unexpected. He enters a world full of adventure; with starry purple skies, bright colors, friendly faces, and someone he thought he'd lost forever. This story follows Basil as he journeys through Headspace with Sunny and their friends, exploring the dream world he soon learns once belonged to Sunny, but has now evolved into something more. All the while, Basil learns more about the mysterious shadowy figure, always out of reach, that endlessly begs for forgiveness. But the longer he stays, the faster his physical form deteriorates in his hospital bed. And although Basil knows he's just dreaming, he can't help but notice that while the invisible threads that bind him to the waking world seem to be thinning, the single red thread that anchors him to the dreamworld always leads him back to one person.

All The Resources You'll Need To Build Your Own Wonderland, Headspace or Inner World, Now Mobile Compatible!

I made a page dedicated to this, but it wasn't mobile compatible. On request, I decided to make this in a post for mobile readers.

I see a lot of systems asking for advice on building their own inner worlds and Wonderlands. There are a lot of resources out there, but they can be difficult to track down because they all are so spread out between different websites and different systems, so I decided to make a dedicated page for the topic with all of the guides and resources I’ve gathered, to make the process as streamlined as possible.

What’s a Wonderland?

Wonderland, inner world and headspace all refer to places you create inside your mind. These are imagined environments in which you can interact with your headmates.

You should start with the expectation that it isn’t going to feel very real in the beginning. Immersion is a skill that takes time to build. Don’t get discouraged if your inner world experiences don’t match up perfectly with those of others. Be patient and be kind to yourselves.

On Building Headspace

On Building Headspace is an introductory guide that focuses on beginning with a simple object and building around it. It’s light, but is an effective starting point.

YOUR GUIDE TO THE HEADSPACE (For OSDD/DID systems)

This is an introductory guide to building headspaces specific for OSDD/DID.

The DIY Headspace Guide

This handy little guide has a lot of ideas of how to build a headspace for yourself with an accompanying pinterest to jog your creativity. This guide is all about using references from real life, games and art to use as the basis for your inner world.

Immersion

Now that you have the basics down, it’s time to start working on immersion. This is a more in-depth guide focused on immersing yourself in your Wonderland or headspace, going through each of your senses.

Wonderland Immersion

This guide utilizes a much more focused method of immersion through semantic analysis.

How To Refocus On Your Wonderland

A detailed guide on focusing your attention in the Wonderland and staying in the moment.

When Things Go Wrong in Your Imagination and How To Fix Them So They Don’t

This one is pretty self-explanatory, providing tips on how to rein in your Wonderland when it doesn’t seem to be behaving how you’d like it too.

Innerworlds & mindscapes in Plurality & dissociative identity disorder  #DID101

This DID-focused guide to inner world creation is centered around using self-hypnosis to enter your inner world and create a safe space in your mind.

How to Build a Memory Palace

This one is actually not about building Wonderlands per se. Rather, it provides you a practical way to use your Wonderland to improve your memory once it’s built. If you’ve already worked so hard building your visualization skills, why not put them to good use by allowing you to more easily remember large amounts of information?

Additional Resources:

Besides guides, here are some other tools you might be interested in using for making your headspaces.

Homestyler

This was mentioned in the DIY guide, but I wanted to provide a direct link to the site, as it’s a free program and could be really useful for designing homes in your inner world.

Inkarnate

Where Homestyler is for your homes, Inkarnate is a map maker that you might find useful for designing the larger areas of your Wonderland. Caves, , landscapes, cities, countries, etc. It’s unfortunately mostly a fantasy map-maker, so you’ll struggle at building a lot of modern or sci-fi environments with it.

Anyway, I hope someone out there can make use of these. And if anyone else has more guides or resources to add, don’t be afraid to send them my way! Good luck, and happy Wonderlanding!
