What do we think about Crazy Jane, from Doom Patrol!

[@BeAwesomeful]

I actually found the whole DID youtuber community because I was watching a lot of clips of Crazy Jane and "the algorithm" suggested a video of an interview with someone with DID and that video suggested one of DissociaDID's videos and now here I am!

[@Zernium]

Like many others, I'm not thrilled about her being called "Crazy Jane". However, it's worth pointing out that that's her "superhero name" from the comic books, and in the TV show, she's almost never actually called "Crazy Jane". It's said a couple of times, but she's usually just called "Jane". She's also arguably the most well-adjusted and least "crazy" character, she starts the show with a lot more self-acceptance of her condition than anyone else. It's overall a _really_ good show that explores themes of mental illness and trauma better than any other I've seen. I highly recommend it.

[@HumanTypewriter]

Also have to remember that a lot of people with mental illness have taken these words for them selves as reclamation.

[@palpatine1715]

I couldn’t have possibly thought that a youtuber about mental health could lead me to now one of my favourite shows

[@Swenglish]

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I've been watching Doom Patrol and loving it but wasn't sure how Jane and her system, especially some of the more chaotic alters and trauma allusions, would read to someone with first hand experience and direct personal investment in DID representation. From my position (as an outside observer with some base knowledge from following you and a few other systems on youtube), it's easy enough to see where the line between "sci" and "fi" is and where things are heightened because it's just a very heightened show, but (like with Split) it's hard to know if that line will be clear enough for some less informed people not to get the wrong idea, and whether the portrayal is good enough for someone who actually knows what it's like to be on board with it. Obviously at a certain point it's subjective (because art) and people are going to have different takeaways, and multiple perspectives can be valid, but I'm grateful that you shared yours, and that you took the potential risk of watching the show in the first place so you could share your perspective on it. Trauma is a common thread in superhero type stories in general, as well as obviously stories involving characters with trauma based disorders, so I can only imagine it can be a bit of a trigger mine field, and there might be a thin line between relatable and too close to home sometimes.

[@SkulletteFire]

Well said. That’s exactly why I came here. I wanted to see a review of Crazy Jane by someone with DID, since in my opinion I think she’s a good representation based on what I know, but I don’t have DID so I wanted to see what someone who actually had it thought.

[@tinytigertamer]

Your cow looks very nice! And it was so nice hearing the perspective of someone living with DID on Doom Patrol. Just from my interactions with KZbinrs living with DID, I thought the show was pretty accurate. Like you said, it’s definitely dramatized because of the superhero aspect, but overall they did a good job.

[@shelbymachado8712]

Love your fashion ideas. I'd never heard of doom patrol and it sounds super cool. Gonna check it out. :) p.s. "your cow looks nice."

[@shirovadia7935]

Hey Bo, thanks for the recommendation about Dooms Patrol, I think that I might watch it with a friend because I'm really trying to get others to understand what the ID is and they have one friend that might be able to get it better with a visual representation. By the way, your cow looks nice 😉😉😉

[@SkulletteFire]

This is really cool! I was looking for someone with DID to review Crazy Jane from Doom Patrol. I haven’t actually watched the show since I don’t have any of the streaming services, but I’ve seen a lot of clips and most of them have been about Crazy Jane. She’s just so interesting and the storyline of her interactions with the other alters is so intriguing, I think she’s my favorite character! Now, I don’t know much about DID, but from what little I know I felt like Crazy Jane was good representation in my opinion. But I don’t have DID, so I wanted to see what someone else with DID thought of her and I’m glad that you agree that she is a pretty good representation (besides all the obvious exaggerations of things bc she’s a superhero, that’s not exactly relatable). Also, IS THAT AN UMBRELLA ACADEMY TATOO BEHIND YOUR EAR?!? (Or is it another reference? My bad if it is). IS THAT A STORMFLY PLUSHIE IN THE BACKGROUND?!? I LOVE HTTYD, IM SO OBSESSED!!! And do you do doll repaints? I love watching doll repaints! If you do, I would love to see that on your channel!

[@MysticSynergy]

we recently started watching Doom Patrol and we very quickly got a whole subsystem of Crazy Jane and some of her alters. and their inner world is the Underground. we won't share more than that for their privacy but we remembered that you made this video and we watched it back then and wanted to come back to this video. we love how they are just accepted like it's normal to have a system. and we like that they were able to verbalize that they don't control each other and they can't just switch on command. you've also verbalized a lot of things that we also feel about the show. we've never read the comics but we really want to now...

[@marq6929]

I've had some mystery person co-con on and off this month too xP such fun. One day we'll get their name and such sorted out. One day. You're right, that is gorgeous fabric! I'm glad you're putting it to use. Definitely gonna check out Doom Patrol now. I wasn't sure about it before, so thanks for the honest summary on it. Your rambles are good, and your cow looks nice lol

[@beckamiller4900]

Mmmmm your cow looks nice! Jane's character is based on Truddi Chase best known for her autobiography, 'When Rabbit Howls'. Wikipedia: her name Crazy Jane is derived from several poems by Yeats as well as the eponymous painting by Richard Dadd. Sounds very intriguing! You are super smart and you can do anything. I love your dolls, making doll clothes is a great hobby and you are very good at it. Love and hugs, Rebecca P.S. I'm singular and I had an experience with a real ghost alter. She didn't speak but I know she split from another alter when something awful happened and she carried that memory so the alter she split from could continue her role in the system. Of course that is the short version of the story. Be patient with your new (to you) alter. Chances are someone inside knows her. Sorry I talk alot.

[@christianf.5553]

Love you too, and the cow looks nice! :) Seems like I need to pick up Doom Patrol, rarely have I seen someone gushing so much about a show. So colour me intrigued. Also, I do hope you're able to drag DissociaDID down there for pride. It's always good to have some company after saying "see you later" to your partner in a LDR, and especially after such a crappy night as Chloe had yesterday. Also, hope your body stops misbehaving soon, and eases off on the pain. Sending your lots of good thoughts!

[@extradimensionals777]

oh i love doom patrol and i agree about crazy jane!! it's nice to hear another system's thoughts on it hgkjsdhgfj also ur cow looks very nice ;3 - fae + emi

[@kesleynienaber8485]

Hi, I love your channel! Thank you for sharing and being so honest, it's really inspiring.

[@naomifowler5224]

That is indeed a spectacular cow!

[@immortalvelociraptor7810]

This video was so adorable, exactly what I need to wake up to this morning! Love you guys!

[@sammylyda312]

Lovely super great little morning video to watch put a smile on my face

[@andiehernandez1995]

You're one of the loveliest youtubers I've ever encountered! Thank you for giving your opinion about Jane as a person with DID. I've been trying to find reviews about characters with DID by people with DID. I still haven't found any about the protagonist of "Legion". Now there's also "Moon Knight" and apparently they're trying to do a respectful approach by depicting some actual DID characteristics, but mixed up with a more fantasy interpretation of it.

[@kathrynplank9259]

Sometimes your voice reminds me of Hermione Granger from Harry Potter usually when you remember something and talk quickly

[@erinlovescheese]

i love reclaiming fabric like that! i make human sized clothes and all sorts of other things. it's so fun to come up with creative stuff like that. i love seeing your doll fashions. doom patrol sounds awesome! i am totally going to check it out. love your cow. it's so cute!

[@ronnbumble]

This is very relaxing to listen to while drawing! Thank you for sharing

[@ghostshadow5246]

Your cow looks nice. Never saw doom patrol and wasn't gonna.. but you talked about it with such passion that i desided to check it out... binge-watched the whole thing and i want more so thank you very much. Love you all

[@thisbeem2714]

I am not so great. My switching headaches are crazy bad the last few days. We can't always sort out who is in front. Just came back from a difficult trip. So it's good that I can sit down and catch up on your videos. Feeling less alone.

[@angeliquestege8519]

Your cow looks nice 😉😂 have to watch that show 🙃 Love 💖 💕 Oh and the dresses are really nice 👍🏻🥰

[@karmachameleon7148]

I have fibromyalgia and while is in my upper body i find mornings to be ... challenging too. I started a type of meditation in the morning to start fresh without the expectations and pain of the day. Seems to help when i do it. If i don't i feel very calm. Much love!

[@MsArmitage]

Your cow looks nice 😆 Things have been the hardest and the happiest at the same time. Getting devastating news and the best news at the same time. Can't write about the bad, but can share the good. I have finally got my own apartment. Which I never thought I would get being disabled physically and mentally ill. It has been a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs but we get to move away from ab*sive parents and tox*c living situation. I have begun suspecting there are parts in me. Hopefully us being safe will help to figure out what the h*ll is going on. Stay safe you guys. 😚

[@wendit2193]

Want so much to view Doom Patrol, but cannot pay for another streaming platform (this pay by platform situation is out of control! OMG). Have found many podcasts who are reviewing the episodes so I'll listen that way. Very exciting. Bo, I hope you will check out my DM on IG and help find a way to make something happen. Hope the shadowy unknown alter fronts when someone is around to monitor. Be safe! Love to you.

[@Drmorganaurora]

Love the cow. Xoxoxo

[@sherlocked776]

[@midnightrain9801]

If you are interested in doll customizing you should check out dollightful. I believe I spelt it right. She has a lot of patterns for clothes for her dolls! Hope you like what she does I personally I really like it.

[@CiceroSapiens]

Your cow is amazing. What do y’all feel about Kay? I haven’t heard other systems mention their inner child from before the split. I thought there was no original :/

[@BoboCoOfficial]

We really related to their story with Kay, our "original" is also locked away like Kay was st the start of the show. We all work to protect her. Its amazing seeing representation we really relate to :)

[@grumpysandfrog]

I’m not diagnosed with DID, but my therapist and I are working hard to understand my alters and why I have them.. in the meantime, I’ve also been co-con with ???? someone lately, so I feel your struggle. I hope you can meet and understand one another soon!

[@tabithacrouse8858]

Do you guys have a PO box?

[@egggarnishaustin5559]

Would you say that the Halo figure was sort of like mister nobody sort of like the conscious that you can't really bring forward to the front and his sort of like all of your knowledge

[@druscilla7138]

Maybe integrated

[@slightlyinfernal3415]

thanks for sharing, i personally found she was a little to violent and dangerous for my taste, but i might give it another go :D

[@RialVestro]

The oddest thing about Doom Patrol to me is that Victor Stone aka Cyborg is a member considering he has NEVER been part of that team before. The only connection Cyborg has ever had to Doom Patrol is that Cliff Steele's cybernetics basically served as a prototype for the cybernetics that Victor Stone would later receive. In case you don't know who Cliff is, he's better known as Robotman but he's not actually a robot, he has a human brain. Anyway... Victor Stone technically shouldn't even exist yet at the time this series is taking place. How can he be a member of the Doom Patrol in the 70's and still be a teenager more than 20 years later?

[@BoboCoOfficial]

The doom patrol TV show is set in 2019, after the events of the justicr league!
