"Stop romanticizing DID/OSDD and treating it like it's cool or fun!"

Actually how about no.

So something we've been thinking about lately was our syscovery. We speedran communication and acceptance. The first two headmates we knew about went from "What if we're a system?" to making out on the headspace couch in like, 2 days. Doubt died in like, 2 weeks to a month later. We discovered everyone already in the system after maybe 6 months? Maybe less, maybe more (hehe memory issues). Every therapist we've talked to about our system (okay so 3) has commented positively on our communication and system goals.

This isn't a brag (although we are pretty proud of this). No it's something we've on and off been examining to figure out why. Were we lucky? Are our barriers weaker? Did we make it all up and give ourselves DID?

What we keep coming back to is that opening line. We did romanticize it. We did treat it like it was fun and cool. We came at it with excitement and enthusiasm and curiosity. Faye abandoned all claim that the body and life were hers alone, embracing the weirdness and opportunity of being plural. She welcomed the idea of sharing it and having headmate friends. All of those things that "diminish, belittle, and trivialize" people who "really" have a disorder.

And the funny thing is, we don't deny this disorder at all. It's not all sunshine and rainbows. It never was. There's internal abuse. There's memory issues. There's trauma. There's fucked up shit.

But we think we got a head start on all of this work by thinking it's cool! We eagerly listened for our headmates' voices. We reveled in switching. We built headspace for fun and only found "real" uses for it months or more later.

So idk, maybe no, treating it as cool and fun isn't harmful. Maybe it's something that can help. Maybe some system out there can build some trust and safety internally with this approach.

Our 4 Storyboards combined together the best agreed storyboard moments from each of our team mates. I have stitched them together on Photoshop.

We agreed on what scenes to keep by having a group vote for each new storyboard moment. I then cut them out digitally and pasted them all together to tell a coherent story.

Hey guys. I know I haven't written anything lately. Between my dog passing and an anon asking me to stop tagging them in things (like I know their handle and can just remove it), I haven't felt great. My non existant confidence took a hit and my heart was broken.

Luckily, somehow, I have fought through it to finally write something solid and semi presentable to my peers.

@supernaturalgirl20 @sturkillerbase @misspearly1 @writer-darling

I hope you guys are ready. The games are about to begin, and I mean that literally. That choose your own adventure game is about come to life and we're starting it off with a fun one:

DAVE YORK

I have your opening story all typed up and it will be posted tomorrow (or rather later because I'm posting this at 1 in the morning).

As a reminder on how this goes:

You read what I wrote

You write what you think happens afterwards

You read what everyone else wrote

And write what happened after their piece of the story

Then you can go back and choose how to read the story of Dave York

If you still have questions, please dm me before you start writing just so we're all on the same page. Remember you can drag it out as long as you want.

And allow me to thank you guys publicly for indulging my weird ideas on here. I hope you have fun with this and I will be writing to your chapters too.

If any one wants to know what's happening, dm me.

Lmfao we just realized Roki is a traumagenic headmate. Just, him being a part of our system has nothing to do with trauma lol.

(Roki is a soulbond and part of a system where he comes from)

-Faye

Persecutor to boot. Hell whole system of shapeshifting ancient evil time wizard is DID just... normal like. Nothing magical or spiritual about my system back home.

Spouse had a wonderful idea

1 dom/me with a room of subs. Each must masturebate and put on a show for them. The best show gets to leave with the dom/me

Pictures of Characters we designed by playing a team building game.

One group would draw heads, one bodies and one legs.

Was very fun and we came out with some interesting designs.

We did this little group bonding game in class to get to know one another better and just have fun. It was very entertaining how the "Characters" came out at the end.

One group had to draw the head place, one group the middle and one group the legs.

It was a chilled out game that made many of us laugh at the final images.

if we are talking about the lost dream lover/daisy scenes from act 1 then we should talk about why those scenes were so good and why the loss of that storyline is so disappointing. because it's not just "oh those scenes looked better or whatever" it was a completely different character and storyline.

even though the companions pushed back way more and the whole narrative was telling you to resist the dream lover, it was somehow far more tempting. you were constantly tempted in dialogues to use your powers and if you did, you slowly started to lose yourself, the narrator said you could feel something slipping away, something you will never get back. You were giving yourself over to the fantasy, a mindflayer illusion

the game asked you during character creation "who do you dream of at night?" obviously meaning "what are you attracted to?" rather than just "you need a guardian. choose one." there is already a different implication there. I wonder how people interpret "guardian" if they don't know about the original dream lover. they might not even create someone they find tempting. a guardian sounds more like a mentor figure, rather than your ideal fantasy partner.

During early access the dream lover not only offered us power, they also showed us a tempting future where we are powerful and important and beloved and we are ruling the world. such universal temptations and desires. and we were resting on a peaceful field with the person of our dreams. it was peace in the dream world vs the real life struggle.

In the end it seemed obvious where this was leading... if you use the tadpole too much, you would have turned into a mindflayer. and whatever is left of your individuality and consciousness would have stayed in that fantasy world with your perfect fantasy partner. the mindflayer illusion forever trapped you. the song "Down by the River" was written about this fantasy dream lover. and what a banger and creative storyline this could have been. what a tragic ending! to just give up, lose yourself in the fantasy, the easy way out. choose this beautiful fantasy over the imperfect real world. and choose your perfect imaginary partner over the flawed real people, your companions. truly I mourn what an incredible storyline this could have been. It would have resonated with basically everyone.

and you would have been constantly tempted. to avoid this fate you would need to struggle constantly while the easy fantasy is dangling in front of your face with a zero difficulty ability check.

turning into a mindflayer wouldn't have been something you have the option to choose. and you can get cured no matter how much you indulged in the tadpole powers. lmao I kinda hate that there is no consequence for any of that now

#the dream lover as a figment of your imagination...a creation of your own new illithid powers...is a more interesting idea to me #also I liked how resisting the temptation was a group effort... if one character used the power... they were all affected #they were in this together #and they all had apology dialogues if you used any of the characters during a cutscene and made them use their illithid powers #bg3 #early access #baldur's gate 3 #dream lover #daisy #the guardian #bg3 mine #my thoughts #down by the river #my post #my posts #also I wonder how this would have affected the emperor's storyline and how the artefact works... #because he would have been a different character...but I am assuming he still would have existed?? #maybe he would have showed himself as a mindflayer from the start... idk... #but the storyline around the artefact probably would have been separate from the dream lover's storyline
