Alters played by Actors | Valentine's Special

Show a little love to each and every part of you! For #valentines and beyond! #LoveEachPart
Ed & Jamie answered your questions by writing out their responses and sending over their script... the point was simple: create a fun video to showcase their relationship, break down stigmas of what alters look like within #dissociativeidentitydisorder and have an underlying message that system relationships are valid, and everyone of us - with or without DID, could always spend a little more time accepting and loving each part of the self!

Sometimes my brain forgets that these men are actors. Scrolling through the first thing I thought was "Ed?" and then I realized Ed couldn't be physically here. I've just gotten so used to the actors being Ed and Jamie.

[@thehappyplanningmom4141]

I know right. They always do such an amazing job.

[@justaperson1918]

I know! Especially since I've only seen a few videos and the first one I watched was with the actors

[@taylorsart4646]

Honestly sometimes I forget they aren’t actually Ed and Jamie

[@HelloXrancidkitteh]

I cracked up at Ed's "cheeky bitch" reply to Jaime calling him a creepy crawly at 2:46 this is so kool and they both did wonderfully. I love these c: Ed and Jaime are so adorable together

[@wolffisu]

I laughed hysterically at midnight and heard it echo throughout the house... I'm visiting home and definitely woke someone up.

[@thesongbirdsystem3705]

The ending @10:50's got me in tears. I absolutely love how you've gotten the chance to give the boys their own voices and faces and that you've had the kindness and confidence to show us these intimate sides of them. It's a blessing and we are proud of you every single day. Best love and wishes from the Songbirds ❤💛🏳️‍🌈☀️🦋🎶✌

[@cecefernandes5657]

KZbin has failed me and I didn't know this existed until now 😭 This is really sweet and beautiful❤

[@DIDandMe]

Omg we LOVED this! It was soooooo adorable and they are so cute and funny together. Particularly loved the gay Jackie Chan, black belt of style, and the bit about having how he loves Ed's curves ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@princecozmoz3833]

It keeps popping up in my brain that these are actually Jamie's and Ed's answers and it makes this ten times better.

[@LeeDee5]

Great lads these two. I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine’s Day.

[@symphonyenya5017]

I literally cried. This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Ignore the haters. You guys are doing amazing things for the community -Mercy

[@viktoria2476]

I am shipping Jamie and Ed so hard 😅😍

[@fabiennesimonse243]

This is so fricking adorable, wonderfully done! The actors did an amazing job 🥰

[@beccaburrington9196]

Ed and Jamie- the end of that video was so sweet and poignant. I was teary-eyed. Very well written/said. It's been great seeing you work on functional integration (not fusion). I think Ed' s journey must be encouraging for a lot of systems out there. I love the hashtag #loveeachpart. The more I learn about mental health, the more it seems like love and acceptance of all parts of self is the beginning and end goal of getting to a healthy mental state- whether you're part of a system or a single consciousness struggling with that self destructive, or anxious, or etc part.

[@blueblue7775]

This was so amazing omg it’s so cute it made me tear up there such a wonderful couple it’s like they were made for each other happy Valentine’s Day an I hope yours is amazing watching this made my day I hope sometime in the future I can have a relationship like Ed an Jamie’s an u were worried about the video Jess it was amazing I’m so glad we found your channel I hope your day is amazing an we wish u all the best❤️

[@charigrant8488]

I love these actors so much! They do such a good job. I love getting to see Ed and Jamie interacting. I feel like we get to be inside of Jess’ head in the inner world.

[@gunique6534]

This video is so wholesome! I love the relationship of Ed and Jamie and how their love is portrayed! I hope everyone has a lovely day! Thanks and Smilies!

[@sagethevelvet]

I like to see how different they act in different videos and settings while still being in character, it really gives us viewers a very realistic portrait of the alters. Love y'all!

[@autumnsprite]

this is so cute oh my GOD! you guys are too precious how is that allowed

[@heirofthedunedain]

I'm not crying you are. I love this so much

[@aislingnifhoghlu6351]

The sincerity behind "cheeky bitch" made my day

[@kaleidoscopingme]

Aaaaaw it was awesome! 😄thank you so Much Jess and Team! :))🌹🌻

[@caughtinastorm]

These actors mimic Ed and Jaime so well. I love listening to them say things that are similar to what they would really say, and respond to each other so sweetly. How I wish we could see them actually interact outside of the inner world through the body. I'm sure that would absolutely exhaust them though. I wish your system the best on this journey called life:D

[@treasuresophus5810]

They are so BLOODY CUTE!!!!!!!

[@leannestyles8706]

This made my heart burst!!! Loved it so much, well done everyone involved!

[@rascal8902]

Ed reminds me a lot of Yungblud!! it's so amazing to get to see these two together in person! I love them and I love the love they have for each other ❤

[@watchmedo635]

Exciting! X

[@nikkimirhosseyni9535]

The bug bit was the cutest thing I think I’ve ever seen 😍

[@thebananashrimp893]

This was so fun to watch. I love Ed and Jamie! Both are too damn adorable ❤️ the actors are just as adorable 😆

[@psychokittypancake]

This is amazing, great job everyone!!!!

[@AltairScuti777]

Ed saying "cheeky bitch" at 2:48 made me snort like a pig 😂😂😂😂

[@laeyakai3745]

This is the BEST birthday present, I love you guys so much 💕💕💕

[@cecefernandes5657]

Happy Birthday!!!

[@MultiplicityAndMe]

happy birthday lovely!

[@MeMyselfNAleu]

Happy Birthday! Hope you've had a fab time!

[@prettylittleworld8970]

Im the host of my system and I am in a relationship with one of my alters. I am able to go into the inner world easily and spend quality time them on dates and do stuff that any couple will do. We do also go out in person where we just chat and window shop, maybe pick up a lil something for each other as well. I love the representation you show and the voice you give your alters in showing how things work in your inner world. Honestly couldn't imagine my life without everyone (that I am currently aware of) in my system and especially my partner.

[@emmysteinbruck9343]

Love this video. Thanks a lot for this one

[@SantiSayWha]

absolutely lovely ♥️

[@Edgeworthscravat]

Ed and Jamie's love is so utterly beautiful

[@KaiPonVisp]

I love these videos. I love Ed and Jamie. I also love Ollie and Jess and Jake. I will die for each and every one of you. If I have to fight someone for hurting one or all of you, I will fight to the death. No questions asked.

[@ja-nie-neerecords7021]

The actors are awesome. I'm impressed. Really impressed.

[@Kit2ThaKat]

I cannot believe how much I smiled the entire time with this

[@TrinityPayne]

Jamie is such a prince charming. I love it!

[@lext1019]

I absolutely loved this!

[@foxesandclouds8030]

in my system there are 2 alters, jesse and cody, and they are boyfriends, it's the sweetest thing cause jesse is a protector and cody is a caretaker, the way they look after each other is sickening xD

[@AmberBekkerud]

I'm so proud of you all 💕💕💕

[@buny_x]

This video makes me happy!

[@kaityhd3062]

Aww this was so cute!

[@riottoniolo4532]

adorable 1340/10 ❤️

[@mirandascott8058]

I honestly think and this is why of all the people who have DID and share their alters i associate with this channel the most having all male Alters two gay men and a son I always thought of myself as male and have all little bit of personality like each one of here. And also not having so many one that are up front I’d probably like her have others but only a hand full of main ones. But my abuse didn’t cause me to disassociating but just be sad and wish I wasn’t alive. I love Jess and all her alters and really connect with her and how she explains thinfs

[@karahjuul269]

I want a love like ed and jamie🥺🥺🥺

[@mango_beel]

This video never fails to make me happy

[@amybrowning2504]

Love ❤️ you all

[@gachaemotrash6771]

Jamie: wow Ed you have like no confidence Ed: ha you right man Jamie: wait Ed no-

[@wit7882]

Wow it's so real

[@draibat]

IN WHAT WORLD IS THAT A PURPLE ROSE

[@MultiplicityAndMe]

Ebays world 😂

[@alexhyde8820]

I always take tiny soaps, etc., from hotels, and they *are* useful! Late to the video but glad I watched! The actors are amazing as always, and I loved Ed and Jamie's responses. It was great to get to see them together, in a sense, though I do still feel sad that we'll never get to see the real Ed and Jamie together. Anyone else feel that way?

[@JustMe-nl1fy]

I agree with Ed i find that tiny toiletries are great for things like road trips and over night camp trips :) .

[@claire-mariemason711]

Love this ❤💯❣

[@sampro8041]

I have no idea how two straight men can play a gay couple SO WELL

[@LilWonder84]

Love this so much

[@kathleenfurlotte7771]

Ed is adorable. I'd steal you if you were with someone else.

[@lesliedavis6375]

Immediately when he said "for me the purple" I was like shit am I color blind it looks reddish pink Lol

[@sonya6258]

I just now found this MASTERPIECE of a video! I do have DID and one my atlers is named Bryce.He is gay and has a boyfriend.This video reminded of them.

[@carlasuannelockett1694]

[@niccalove23]

Ed and Jamie are so cute together, makes me laugh cause my bf is a comedian and he makes me laugh when he gives me pet names oddly enough it's all food lol, he calls me his......you know he gives me so many pet names I forget them all lol

[@Hi_im_Lee_Know]

I love how I mostly relate to Ed and my name is Edd 😅 (Also my bf name begins with a J.) Btw I love this video. 🧡

[@danielajacquelineag8088]

¿Cómo se sienten Ed y Jamie con esta interpretación? , Gracias por ponerles rostro y actitud física más notoria, ayuda mucho en comprender como se desarrolla en el mundo interior.

[@adellekedrow121]

I think this is just amazing, absolutely butiful and very gay! You two go like shooting stars!

[@NeutralNinetails]

Fun fact green roses can be green :)

[@twobats]

6:01 well i don't know how well that would've worked in the black plague but I know that it works pretty well right now

[@brttaney]

Ed reminds me of a better Yungblud and I am living for if.

[@Justchillin414]

Do you acually get the fan Male?

[@saff1257]

i can really tell they’re actors. sorry it’s just everyone in the comments is saying they’re forgetting they’re actors, but i disagree. they REALLY seem to be reading a script. it’s very scripted, they don’t actually know the characters they just know the script

[@DodgyDaveGTX]

But regardless, it's a real relationship. And try & remember whatever you think of the performance these are still real people & real emotions, and probably more "real" than even the most oscar-winning movie performances.

[@Tsusagi]

Meanwhile here I am thinking "How does one kiss oneself?"

[@dragangirl8]

Tom is such a good actor! I love the commitment he brings every time he snaps into 'Ed'. Jaimes actor has come a long way, and while you can see him thinking about what jaime might say from time to time, he tends to nail it. His voice seems to crack with the real emotion hes expressing as jaime and it's coming together so beautifully. I'm so glad you were able to get the resources to work on this to the point where you're able to forget these people dont live on the same earth as us, most of the(ir) time.

[@shrimpy5296]

the way he looks at ed fondly is just so sweet and you can almost see the love radiating off of him...he's so good at what he does

[@WolfLykaios]

Ok, I just realized that when I requested Ed to sweep Jamie off his feet, JESS ACTUALLY ANSWERED ME and told me that it was the other way around. I'm freaking out over here. Also, KZbin, you are supposed to inform me about this stuff, damn it.

[@babyggukie3580]

KZbin is broken

[@mayu9025]

"roses can be green... they *can't* be green" im crying

[@RiverEngland1995]

This is literally the most adorable thing we’ve ever seen

[@Handle70770]

As someone who travels A LOT - tiny soaps , shampoos and conditioners saved us!

[@summahthevegan3796]

I take the good ones as they're useful for an overnight bag

[@summahthevegan3796]

Also LOVE your name

[@juliusroman8616]

wait, why are we talking about soap? Oops, sorry thought this was a different video comment section, the video where they did a reenactment of the alters arguing.

[@emilyfletcher7124]

This is all my gay heart wants honestly

[@-csotanypure-5106]

I'm not even gay but YAS!

[@ashleyp5402]

"any hole's a go as a sexuality" I DIED omg this was both amazingly funny and amazing to watch, thanks for this ^_^ also those flowers Jamie gave Ed at the end were beauuutiful

[@alte21]

this just makes me wonder if all these domestic-ness happen in the inner world as well , with ollie and his siblings. theyre the perfect happy family everyone desires to be a part of

[@MultiplicityAndMe]

yeet it's ya boy they were 100% the family that I wanted and that Ollie is lucky enough to have 🥰🥰🥰

[@elenamusiclife214]

It is nice that other systems have alters that are in relationships, we have a couple and they recently tied the knot and even took in the littles as their children. It is nice knowing we aren't alone, thank you for helping us and everyone learn.- Sunset System

[@fsociety2thearttrain]

I'm crying this is so sweet... We really needed to hear this message right now. My long term partner broke up with me because of my DID, so it's been hard for us to even love ourselves. This is the message we need- to focus on loving all the parts of our system 💜

[@MultiplicityAndMe]

Lunar System I’m so sorry to hear that! But yes! Love you first and foremost no matter what!!! 💖

[@babyggukie3580]

Poor thing! I hope all of you get better

[@gdhggdvdghtg9805]

Sending love ❤️❤️❤️

[@thehappyplanningmom4141]

I seriously love these guys together, perfection. Kudos to the actors they always do amazing. Well done guys. And great choice jess.

[@musicfeedsyoursoul8070]

I love that Ed puts notes in Jamie's lunch!!!!!!

[@thescintillaproject6463]

I kinda feel guilty in how much I love this, to be honest. Like I love being able to really see what the alters look like, but I feel guilty that seeing them through their actors makes them more real to me than when I see them through Jess's body? It feels bad, coz they are as real as Jess, but they are feeling more real watching an actor portray them. Am I making sense?

[@doflya129]

The Scintilla Project I think because we’re used to dealing with people with the visuals of them being shown not just hearing their voices unlike Jess or the system who can see them we can’t. Like if you talk to someone on the phone is different then that of video call

[@missundies]

I still feel that it's more real when I see them in the Jess body, that's their body language and I don't know..I just see them 100% in the Jess body (:

[@YugSihtTsuj]

Well, to be fair, that's pretty much an actor's job: to make whomever they're portraying as "real" as possible in the eyes of the audience/viewers.

[@Sophie-vw5ol]

You dont have to feel guilty about such a thing at all. Its just easier to see two actors which potray a couple because you cant see this on the system. And this is exactly the thing their want to visualize us.

[@gdhggdvdghtg9805]

Well, I do feel this way too. Probably bcuz the first multiplicity and me video I saw was the headspace conversation where actors were the one portraying the alters. First impressions I guess... 😂

[@gothsharpayevans]

i think introducing the actors has been such a great and interesting way to get the message across, and it’s nice for the regular viewers to see the boys “irl” lol. would love to see more of all of them 🖤

[@blueriver.]

OH MY GOSH SO WHOLESOME I JUST MANAGED TO SOMEHOW PULL A MUSCLE JUST FROM SEEING THIS GLORIOUS THUMBNAIL

[@Sheuto]

I was so confused when I saw it at first I didn't see other videos with actors before, so I was like: Wait, how are they here?! Aren't they alters? What is going on? Am I in the inner world? AM I AN ALTER?

[@hippiestoner3411]

Wait... how does Ed and Jamie feel about this😂😂😂 i love this so much and it makes me so happy like damn can i get me a mans like that plz Ps don't worry Ed im not gonna steal ya mans

[@MultiplicityAndMe]

They wrote the script 😂😂😂 word for word it’s their responses! Haha x

[@crystalrobinson643]

@@MultiplicityAndMe have they watched the reenactment? How did they like it?

[@floraellesse4440]

MultiplicityAndMe how do they write the script? Did they do it when they were co-conscious?

[@liampeace1996]

Credit to the actors who portrayed the alters, really got into the roles and made them real people (even though they already were).

[@Justchillin414]

When ed was tickling jamie it was so funny I kept playing that part over d over ed instantly stop straight up just to do it

[@hannahbarrett1221]

Finally got to the ending. Tears are definitely flowing. I don’t think Priscilla ever stopped loudly (and internally) saying “AWWWW” the whole time 🤣

[@gxilds4055]

Video: 6 hours ago All the comments: 5 days ago KZbin: ha, you fool.

[@Adam1984_]

They released it to Patrons early as an unlisted video, I think.

[@brinashiloff3439]

This was so beautiful. We don’t really get to see them interact often but when we do it’s always so sweet. Was this acted out or were these Ed and Jaimie’s real responses? I can’t even tell anymore the actors are so good.

[@MultiplicityAndMe]

Brina Shiloff Ed and Jamie wrote their responses to a script 😄

[@chrischavis6968]

I absolutely love this. We have a couple in our DID system. That would be myself (Chris) and my love Kristine. Though we don't have 15 years like you to, we've had a rough and Rocky 2 years together but I think the rough and rockiness made us stronger. Forced us to learn more and more about eachother. Turned out to be a good thing. Because I love her even more now.

[@maryamtara2934]

God bless you guys💕

[@RoryViolet]

I’m glad you guys are happy together and I hope you continue to be 🖤🖤

[@AndrewJohnson-it8pt]

The ending really touched me. I'm dealing with DID and most of the parts, I don't have connection with them, and push all of them away that it makes me want to scream and it leaves me stressed. I originally told my therapist I wanted us to become a whole, but now I'm having doubts about it. Anyone help? Would really be appreciated.

[@MultiplicityAndMe]

Take things a step at a time. The step is to heal and recover, but don’t worry about final fusion until your journey is nearly finished (at least; that’s our plan!) you’re doing amazing just by accepting and appreciating your parts! Every day is a step further

[@mikelloyd6567]

I agree with Jess, no need to make any permanent choices, take your time and work out between all of you what will work best.

[@kaleidoscopingme]

I am right there with you. Communication is the Most important and it can be blocked if one or more Parts are scared... mabe Start by making the comming togehter as a Team the priority. Becomming a whole can be verry scarry for manny Parts cause they think you just want to get rid of them... it's not fun to be overrunn by someones descission... it's like you have manny people that all have a voice and a opinion. It takes allot of efford on your part to show them that you are worth of theyr Trust. Do you know the movies Horton hears a Hoo? It may help you understand better... ; ) First and formost they want to Bee heard and accnowleged. You need to come to the point where you can belive yourselfe. It helps to collect evidence that tey are there and real. Ask them to show you that you are not imagining. Tell then you want to belive but that you struggle with it. This is what helped me. It can feel like self Talk at first but they will answer when they feel Safe enought to do so. It's verry important that you are at a Safe place for that to happen. We had to move first. So they Would feel save enought to show up and let me know it. What ever it takes is what it takes you are worth the efford. And Systems like Jess s and Piniata and DissociaDID and Acrylic and Aether and and...are proof to me that there is Hope. We write on the mirrows that helps to keep up with appointments and Alters. I Ask them about theyr Name and stuff. I am sorry this feels all over the place and I am sure that there are several people that wanted to say something and our grammar might be off😅😏 I hope we could help you a little Bit but we are in Chaos so If you want to return the favor go ahead 😅🙂 or anny one It's like too much going on Outside as well as inside and too much pressure... now the body is sick and I get to be stuck in it yay. How do you Deal with the Tornado inside and the Chaos and confusing and and heeelp is there a switch or something to turn it off???
