#poster:

I'm a divigenic (created by a divine being) collective that also meets every DID symptom. We have DID, there's no doubt about it. We even have the trauma for it. We just firmly believe that we exist because a divine being said so!

So while I understand the sentiment? Of fighting back against anti-endos? Please understand and remember those of us who are disordered while also being non-traumagenic.

We are out there and it sucks butt when I see yet another pro-endo say that, actually, no endo claims to be disordered, because the hell does that make me?

Somewhat unusual Indian flag in a mid-20th century Soviet propaganda poster: The flag is upside-down, uses red instead of saffron orange, and the Ashoka Chakra has 12 spokes instead of 24

⛩️ (torii gate) - does your collective welcome any and all spirits that want to live in it, or is there more a process to deciding who can? can people come and live there temporarily?

🍒 (cherries) - if your collective only has some spiritual/metalhysical members, how are these members existences different compared to non-spiritual/metaphysical members?

🪄 (wand) - do the powers your spiritual/metaphysical members have have any capability to affect the world your body inhabits?

🪞 (mirror) - how do your spiritual/metaphysical members view and feel about the body they inhabit now?

Hewwo girlf! [ ask game here ]

⛩️ (torii gate) - does your collective welcome any and all spirits that want to live in it, or is there more a process to deciding who can? can people come and live there temporarily?

Ehhh yes and no. Everyone (in the main society anyways) is placed here by a spirit, but some of our members have directly asked spirits to whisk them away before. Sometimes directly into us, sometimes they just got plonked here on a vague request. The sidesystems are a different-ish story that the gate was opened to them.

We don't really just let in anybody and everybody. The Grotesque of Diamond Flesh ultimately picks who can pass The Gates. Even if a spirit presents them to Xiem, if Xie says no? No go.

We have nothing but spiritual/metaphysical members! All members have that as a root.

Though, certain members such as the mortal halves have a lot more "freedoms" and capabilities compared to others.

🪄 (wand) - do the powers your spiritual/metaphysical members have have any capability to affect the world your body inhabits?

Yes! Especially the godly citizens. They mess with our physical life so much and so often. It's a bit disorienting, actually, lol.

🪞 (mirror) - how do your spiritual/metaphysical members view and feel about the body they inhabit now?

They fear becoming us. They think our existence is inherently more difficult and a pain to live. The response "I'd die" is not a pleasant one, even as a joke. Our problems unique to our sizes are overblown, and people will see problems where there are none.

And of course, in more disordered or anti-endo circles, it's often you'll just be seen as an inherently fake system because "brains don't really do that", even though Complex DID is the medical label for polyfragmentation.

It's frustrating, especially because it makes this accidental, unintended push for us to be smaller collectives. I don't know if any other large collectives feel this way, but we definitely feel this "Our size is unpalatable, thus we should somehow become smaller", which is impossible for us given our origins (lack of being a fragmented identity thus we cannot fuse) and the fact people tend to end up here to stay rather than being really able to leave.

I would not trade this society for anything. It is a blessing to be here. It is a blessing to have so many people to help. It is also a personal blessing that within this society, I have my 100+ member polycule.

Don't get this one wrong. There are struggles, but they are not overwhelmingly so, and smaller collectives have struggles I lack.

Pendulum to ask who is in front (even if going down the list is tedious lol). Tarot to grasp more about who they are. Meditation to talk to them (though this one is pretty common for collectives lol).
