I love seeing Jake on the channel, he's just so happy and cheery! Also, his voice seems deeper than usual, have you guys been voice training?
No, we were shocked to hear it back too! Figured our ears were playing tricks on us! 😅 actually think the resolution of the video may not have been accurate which may have impacted the audio? But jake didn’t mind so we didn’t fiddle for a resolution 😊
His voice is so attractive and it gets deeper and I just 👀👀👀
@@nathischatzi agreeeeeeddd
@@nathischatzi it so is! And yes, definitely deeper
That was something I was gonna mention that I forgot. Jakes voice was deep this time around.
Mention Ed's birthday: *police sirens*
Mention it again: *screaming*
i love how screaming is ranked as a more serious situation than the police coming
I was not expecting to hear from Jake at all today, so hearing that American accent caught me off guard 😂
Jake: Ed does not like his birthday
*sirens in the distance*
Jake: continues talking about Ed’s birthday
*kids screaming on the street*
It feels like Ed is influencing the world outside to keep everyone from mentioning his birthday lol
I request that Jake sing in every video
YESSSSS
Agreeddd
That would be e p i c! (~dark)
I agree so much
Yes!!! Needed!!!
"ed appreciation day" is such a cute name for it
I effing appreciate the heck out of Ed.
I'm into astrology so
Jamie = Virgo
Jess = Libra
Jake = Aquarius
Ollie and Ed = Scorpio.
I feel like this makes sense lol
Why am I not surprised that Ed is a Scorpio?? 😂
Literally all of these make sense... like, wow.
@@doperagu8471 Samee 😂
I was like 100% sure that he is a scorpio
I really felt Ed to be Gemini, but idk why. Scorpio makes way more sense in hindsight!
This subject makes me think of adoptive families having "Gotcha Day." I had friends growing up that were adopted from overseas, and they all had an Airplane Day. It was the day they arrived at the airport.
my family celebrates adoption day on the day that the papers went through and we were legally a family
I love how I instantly knew it was Jake 😂
Same
I questioning if it was Ollie and then he said awesoming and I was like, yup that’s jake xD
I don't know if the channel art is done by one of the alters or someone else, but I love it so much. I think it'd be really cool if they used their talent with art to spread awareness by making a comic about their lives on webtoon or something!! I'm just so obsessed with the way the art looks.
Actually the first drawing of Jake is by @mjtotoro on Instagram and the drawings of everyone at 2:46 are by @rale_art on instagram as well (it's me!) :)
@@rale2121 Those are really good. Awesome art!
@@rale2121 would be so cool if you could collab with them to make a mini comic about DID
@@rale2121 SO COOL!!! THE TALENT!!!
@@rale2121 Should ask them if you could make a comic about them!
Pleasure to meet you, Jake. We were just jokingly having this conversation with our wife and telling her we were still 11 presents short!
We haven't really thought about separate birthdays... we all (so far) identify with the body's birthday. Something to think about, though.
Thank you as always, and thanks for your support on our recent video. Stay strong! 💕 --- Chris and the Infinity System
Jake, my buddy, love the flannel but dude that's why you're so hot. XD
Flannel or heat exhaustion 😂
@@MultiplicityAndMe Definitely flannel
MultiplicityAndMe flannel or bust
omg TRUE
In our system most people choose a birthday, especially the littles. One of our adult alters named Alivia has her birthday on June 24th because it’s international fairy day and she’s a fairy in the innerworld. One of our littles, Gabby, who’s three years old and functionally autistic, has her birthday on April 1st because that’s the day that Pokémon first aired on TV and her main special interest is Pokémon (especially Pikachu.) Some alters don’t have a birthday and don’t age, others just kinda age when they feel like they’re a year older. Our Primary protector named Matthew celebrates his birthday on November 12th because that is the first day he can clearly remember existing. There’s a lot of variety in our system.
Jake repeatedly saying how sweaty he is because of the heat is something I can relate to on a deep level
This is me every day
Not wrong
I had never thought about alters' birthdays! I have a psychology degree and there really isn't much academic discussion on what living with conditions like DID is actually like. Which is why I'm so interested in your channel, this is fascinating, thank you for helping us understand the way you experience the world! ❤
On hard trauma and mental health days, I come here for comfort. You all make me feel so safe and welcome, that I have a safe space to relax for a little while. Thank you for that.
I NEEDED SOME JAKE IN MY LIFE SO BADLY!!!!! I hope everyone is doing well!
Same! His energy is so contagious
Since I'm the host, I get the body's birthday :P
Moon says her birthday is supposed to be the first full moon of December, but since we don't know a year, we usually go with the 4th, or whatever day is the full moon of that year.
Neither of us really celebrate it though. ~Dark.
This was such a fun and interesting video! Also, it was nice to see you again Jake!
I was wondering which alter was fronting haha I was so confused at first
Even if you were the first in this RUclips field you still are a breath of fresh air, specially given the last few months (pandemic and all). Keep up the good work
Edit: Almost forgot *HI JAKE! I LOVE YOU MATE*
My Birthday as Host is in June.
But my Little/Protector swears her Bday is Valentines day. (She's 5-7) so i just roll with it and will get her something on tht day.
My Brother/Protector/CoHost feels like his bday is in October (its when the body was suppose to be born, but we were born early)
Does she know that her birthday is Valentines day?
@@juliusroman8616 I don't think she knows its Vday she just likes all the cute pink things and assumes its a day for her.
Jake always manages to put a smile on my face! Your energy is just too contagious ❤
I have been following the DID community for some time and find the topic mega exciting. How you manage your everyday situations and on top of it still try to educate others about DID . Impressive!!!
I've been wondering for a while how your system deals with love. By this I mean, what do you do when several alters fall in love with different external people? Have you ever dealed with this situation and if not, how would you handle it if it had come to that? Would also be an interesting topic for a future video.😉
I send you all my love and support. Stay the way you are, because you're perfect as you are.♥️
Am so happy to see jake! Hope everyone is doing well. The video was rlly intersting and, as someone who doesnt have DID ive always wondered about alters birthday. This was a lot of fun to watch and very informative
Also yes petition for jake to sing every intro thx
This comment is getting very long but i thought i might as well share this and this is all i remember from a dream i had
I was walking down the street and i stopped in front of a big buliding (i think it was a bank idk) and there were a few people in line and when i went to look i saw yall sittting there so i went up and said hi
And we kinda talked for a bit and it was rlly nice (from the voice and everything i could tell it was Ed)
I just woke up feeling happy
Just putting this here cause i thought it was nice and if u read until the end here's a cookie 🍪
How weird this being posted today - it’s my birthday 🎂
Happy birthday!!! 😄🥳
MultiplicityAndMe thanks guys!
Jake just made us an intro song and im living for it
Such a fun topic; we needed this, thank you!
And yeah, some of us have birthdays and some don't care or just consider the body's birthday theirs.
I was like: oh hey is that Jake?...he’s wearing makeup...he looks cute in makeup...I hope he likes it too (because he looks awesome)
I fall in love with this wallpaper every time I see it 🤩
Same. Same, same, same.
3:11 channeling you jamie I LAUGHED SO HARD LOL love yall
Hi i never comment on videos, but I have OSDD 1-B and our system loves your videos. you actually helped us come to terms with being a system and realize that there is nothing wrong with it. Also, some of our alters have birthdays and we thought we were just weird, so we appreciate this video specifically. We really appreciate you all and look forward to more videos in the future!
JAKE!! It’s so nice to see you!
I love how happy and cheerful Jake is!! He's honestly such an amazing, cool, positive energy man. Does anyone else find him kind of calming?? Like he just gives off relaxing and calming vibes??
Love all of you so much!! You inspire me to do something great with my life.
If I am just listening to the video, I don't even associate Jake's voice with the body. I hear this voice and I hear Jake. So much LOVE to all of you!!! :D
man I love Jake. He's so chill and down to earth. In a weird way he just makes me feel comfortable
Hope everybody in the comments has a great day, also a good video so far!
Everyone is complaining about quaratine hair, but i love all those messy/longer Hairstyles! Makes you look great!
Loved the video, short informative from personal experience, yet fun light hearted and seeing Jake being Jake and goofing off a bit is always fun. Low key a good way to once again show how different each alter is keep up the great content😊
i like how jake will say more typically british sayings in his clearly american accent - reminds me of when i was a kid and wouldn’t stop calling the trunk of the car a boot bc i heard it on tv!
ollie is an october baby like me 8D sweet
also that art is super lovely!!! that's goals
it's so nice to see and hear jake for this video ^^ his presence is just very...contagious? i guess? like, his aura and vibes are just radiating warmth and it feels very contagious.
thanks for the video! this was a very interesting topic.
I love the jingle (commercial song), and also how you edited in a bunch of the goofy moments with the kids and the noise makers. Thank you so much for posting! And also, thanks for coming on screen! Haven’t seen you in a while! ❤️ Take care of yourselves and stay safe!
Jake's singing is the best ♡ He should make covers and put em on spotify and it would be my favorite forever lol
We actually just recently found out or chose our birthdays so this is so helpful right now!!
In my system we celebrate Christmas in July bc it's financially best and they all get a big present. For individual birthdays they all kinda "take a break from work" and enjoy their stuff all day. Like, Casper will play video games till he has to go to bed. Since I (LTH) have a trauma birthday and can't change it cause it's on my birth certificate lol I celebrate with them instead.
JAKEE YEES, I am learning so much, you guys are amazing so thank you.
We just wanna say thank you so much for educating us!! Without channels like yours we never would've realised we have OSDD-1b, and it means a lot
I always get so excited whenever I hear Jake's voice, Its good to see you man!
Never apologize for short videos! Those of us with attention problems appreciate them from time to time. (It takes me ages to watch your longer videos because ADHD. I get there eventually!)
Thank you Jake for that interesting video on birthdays. It’s interesting to know different alters that have different birthdays or even don’t have birthdays at all. I’ve learned of an alter who has a birthday on the 31st of June (A day that doesn’t exist in reality but does in the inner world). That alter gets their birthday across two days to make up for their birthday not existing in reality. Thanks and Smilies!
I'm glad you made this video because it allowed me and some of my alters to help another alter who actually had a lot of feelings about their own birthday. It was nice for all of them to be able to listen to what Jake had to say on the subject. Thank you!
So for our system: we are an introject-heavy System, so a lot of our alters have chosen their birthdays to be that of their sources. Those who don’t have one are still debating on what they would like. We’re also still very new, so what we do is something sweet (cupcakes, a cookie, etc), and one present, within reason (bc we are not made of money). Like for one of our alters, they wanted a red headband, so we got him that. Another alter wanted pens, so we got them those. That’s just how our system does birthdays tho. :)
Glad to see Jake again! Thanks for making this video!
I asked about birthdays a while ago and can’t believe it’s all being answered!!
Sorry for the wait! 😄💖🙏 thank you for being patient!
I adore this channel so much, everyone is amazing... I love their personalities. I also feel proud at the start as soon as he started to talk I was like "yep thats Jake" I wish I could buy them each a present for their individual birthdays it made me sad hearing they don't get that however I think its lovely how you all work together and collectively decide what go get or who gets the big present, that's lovely 💙
Hi Jake & Jess & the rest of the guys. Still trying to get a shout out...2nd time writing. I'm a new sub. Love you folks!! 😁 Looking forward to really getting to know y'all.
Jessie (or commonly known as TJ)
First 4 seconds you said "filming recording"
And I immiedientaly recognized
THAT'S JAKE! Where you BEEN!
I feel like every time we see Jake he’s in flannel and it’s the best
Dude, shout out to whoever edited the video, great work!
So great to hear from Jake again and as always this video was soooo helpful and entertaining for me ( some trying to learn about did) x ly guys ♥️♥️
Speaking of birthdays as a newly discovered system - and being a pretty HUGE one at that - the body’s birthday is now been repurposed into “System Celebration Day”, even though one of the girls and most of our tiny tots mainly identifies with the body’s birthday, so now it’s mainly a fun day for the youngins 😂
Meanwhile, the adults, including me, the host, have individual birthdays away from the body’s birthday.
Mine is in April, which is integration day.
My “big guys” have their birthdays in November, May and September respectively.
So, for birthdays in my newly discovered system, only the adult parts (plus me) have individual birthdays it seems, and also that means presents all year 😂 and don’t get me started on the amount of gifts that need to be sent to our middles and littles on the body’s birthday 💀
Hey, this is Ben from our System. I was just having this conversation not too long ago, so it's pretty funny you guys came out with this video.
Some of us have our own birthdays, like, myself, our host, another alter, and our little all have our own birthdays. It's pretty cool, I think, and interesting
Great to see you Jake! Thank you for sharing this. 🤗💜 -Key
PS. Is it just me or does jake have an even deeper voice today? Don't mind it at all! Also, looovved the bloopers! 🤣
Omg I said that too in my post.
Thank you to everyone who voted for this video. I needed it
Edit: most of us have birthdays but our non human alters choose not to because they don't identify with human celebrating
Not only is it my birthday, Jakes giving a Birthday specific vid?! 🥳 hell yeh 🥳
Jake you are so cool!!! I loved the intro!! This was so interesting!! Love you guys !
I cant say enough how much my system needed this video specificly this month thank you
I always learn so much watching your videos, I find it really interesting that Jamie, Jess and Ollie all celebrate their birthdays quite close together.
Also lovely to see Jake on the channel!
Jake’s energy always lifts us up!!! - Gemini System
This is my first time seeing Jake! He is super cool!!!! I like him a lot!!!!!
I can't help but smile every time I see Jake on screen. His presence is extremely comforting to me, like he's the brother I wish I had so that we could be softly brave together.
I love the rest of you amazing people just as much, but he holds a special place in my heart, I think.
Max has always had his birthday the day after mine, Marshall chose/re-chose his birthday to fall on his favourite holiday, Halloween 😂 and oh BOY does Marshall let it be known that it is his birthday!
Absolutely lovely to see you Jake ! We'd love to get in touch with your system, have tried through Instagram, but unsure that it went through ! Much love to you all, and HAPPY BIRTHDAYS for those who want to hear it !!
I saw an old video of yours on my feed and thought you posted again. I was so happy, until I realized it's an old one. We. Need. New. Videos. We miss you!
The way you described thed "penny drop" was exactly the feeling I got with my BPD.
Petition for a compilation of bloopers from all your videos!
I'm new to the channel and hearing jess' voice as high pitched English and then yours as a deep American kinda blew my mind, it's so cool that the body can have 2 such different accents that fit so well to the alter!
no hate was meant in this comment
Thank you for posting your experiences! Our host recently discovered our system, and it’s been a good place to get her information. The topic of birthdays came up recently, and this explains it beautifully!
Is it strange that I knew from the thumbnail that this video was Jake? I love you guys and appreciate you so much!
Appreciation Day what an awesome idea.
Jake was everywhere in this video! Love seeing him a video. The end reminded me of bloopers that they’d add to television shows such as the Carol Burnett show. Whoever came up with this little bit at the end: good job! I’m with Ed on birthdays. I don’t know why, but I cannot ever remember liking having a birthday. I’d wake up and would really try to be happy about it, but as the day would move on, I’d find myself becoming sad, mopey, and eventually snappish. I’ve gotten better at pretending to be happy happy joy joy, but it’s nope for reals on the inside.
Jake! OMG i have missed seeing him. When I see that he is in a video he makes my day so much better. He is so cheerful. I hope the whole system is doing well.
We have one collective birthday but we all do something we want to celebrate and our husband is very helpful also. ^_^
We do everyone's birthdays who are very actively involved with fronting. We always pick up something small for the littles because we know at some point they're going to come out. I mean what child doesn't want a birthday party or gifts? Even if it's just a cupcake and a small toy. Our partner always makes sure to celebrate the birthdays of those of us he's dating or married to. Nothing extreme, some flowers, maybe a new shirt or candles. He always cooks supper that night as well. As for Christmas us older ones get 1 gift each and it's the same for the littles. We feel it's important for our system to be treated as individuals as much as possible. Even doing it this way we don't get more then anyone else does. We tried to just do 1 collective birthday and that just doesn't work because when the actual birthdays comes then hurt feelings happen with some of us if they feel they didn't get a proper celebration. Our Partner doesn't mind though. I think it's because we don't ask for anything any other time so he finally gets to spoil each of us lol
Our primary protector and cohost just had their age-day this week. Love the video. Thank you Jake for sharing this. You and your system are amazing!
Hi Jake!!! I feel like it’s been forever since you did a video. I’m so glad to hear your voice and see you pop up again.
Quite a few of us just have birthdays kinda the same as how we all just had our names. Like most of us didnt pick our names same goes for birthdays. But I personally picked mine. I just picked a significant month and then made the day my favourite number haha. We also celebrate our birthdays but almost none of us get presents. This was a cool topic I'm glad you guys talked about it
This video is an informational ray of sunshine.
Long time no see Jake!! Good to see you. Hope you all are having a great day!
We found this video right in our main (ex-host's) birthday, is this a coincidence? But thanks for bringing this up, we've always thought it wasn't something for DID systems to have individual birthdays, but now another doubt of thinking our system is non-existent is gone since we're still just self-diagnosed and we couldn't afford to consult to a psychologist yet.
We're just new to your channel, and we love the content you guys make. - Angelo
I love Jake's hyperactivity and happiness. He is the first person I heard from this system. He never fails to make me smile.
When any of the boys are out, I don’t see Jess anymore. I see them. Like jake has a male voice. I just adore the whole system.
Just happened to be watching today which is apparently Ollie's birthday. Happy birthday Ollie! :)
So happy Jake is back! Welcome back!
Jake is adorable. 💜💜💜💜
It's good to see Jake again. I'm loving these videos!
Great video ! Was the “mommy” at the end your little treasure ? It was just so fun to hear it at the end of the video
It was 😄💖 she was with daddy but must’ve heard us speaking and came to investigate 🙈
MultiplicityAndMe I can imagine 😁 “Am hearing the word birthday a lot, should throw the word piggie out there just in case”
Is it just me, or has Jake's voice got deeper 😍?! And yes, I vote for a channel jingle done by Jake 👌🏻😄.
Hi Jake! You're all great, love to all of your family from Costa Rica.
*Thank you, I wasn't in best mood but them with just the first smile, it make smile immediately. ☺️❤️
I live in Florida and I can relate to being constantly sweaty, lol. Also it was such a nice surprise to hear Jake.
Okay so I missed this 😄 Hopefully everyone gets to celebrate something and I hope the system has a great day
Ah I missed you guys. I haven’t been on this channel in a while and I’m happy to come back!
Synchronicity another system and I were talking about exactly this today. Great video thanks.
