Sometimes I wish I could bring Chilchuck into the modern world. If only to introduce him to noise canceling headphones.
#chilchuck#chilchuck tims#they probably wouldn’t completely block his hearing#but they would definitely help with sensory overload

watched space babies and the devil's chord today. i enjoyed space babies but not so much the devil's chord???? tho tbh i think that was because i was going into sensory overload and also my mum happened to be there and i was just like :) wow she will not be able to handle queerness on the level of a drag queen and is going to decide doctor who is shit now based on that and won't give ncuti gatwa a chance. but overall! i did really enjoy it. i love how much joy ruby gets from it all, and how the doctor responds to that. it's genuinely adorable to watch them giggling together and running around
#there were definitely bits i didn't like. like the maestro mentioning the one who waits. whoever that is. sorry to be a hater but i wish#the season wasn't literally bitesize and that there was time to have some regular adventures before hitting us with warnings of what's to#come. also i've never been a fan of musicals so i cringed a lot. but that's just a matter of personal taste. and again. sensory overload#doctor who#doctor who spoilers#i think the episodes were okay. they were enjoyable. they didn't blow me away tho#i had to go into a idk how many hours nap to recover from the devil's chord sensory overload. episode that left me feeling like i'd been hi#by a train for some reason. probably cause i was up since around 4 because of work and watched the episode around 2pm#oh!!! also!! susan mention!! fucking ate that up! fuck yeah! mention your granddaughter king!

hullo sensory issue people that know how to cope with this better than me: anyone have good noise-canceling headphones you’d recommend?? Preferably something less noticeable (or somewhat stylish), but anything effective is fine.
#I’ve had two public meltdowns this month and I’m so fucking exhausted#my ability to calm down in large social gatherings has just plummeted apparently#I can hardly hold eye contact or a conversation rn and I don’t really have time to recover#my current earbuds and loud music strategy definitely isn’t working anymore sooo#I’m open to suggestions#sensory overload#delete later#autism#(I don’t actually know if I’m autistic)

matilda the musical making me feel shrimp emotions
#matilda the musical#matilda#'quiet' aka here take this song about an autistic child experiencing sensory and emotional overload and dissociating#it's fine it's fine listen to it you won't be sobbing on the floor#'my house' aka you just got over crying from quiet so here have this song about the pride and safety of having your own place#no matter how tiny and humble because it means safety she never had#ok here have a fun one it's fun it's upbeat i promise listen to 'when i grow up'#it definitely won't crush you that miss honey has her own 'when i grow up' wish because abuse and trauma can make you feel like#you aren't really an adult yet and that you can't be until you figure out how to not be affected by it anymore#or what about 'this little girl' because what happens when you finally have to be strong in order to stand up for someone else BUT#but ptsd doesn't work like that. trauma doesn't go away just because you have something or someone to fight for#even if you want to fight with all your heart. it doesn't go away#an e original

i love raven she is just my autistic little loser failgirl that somehow tricked everyone into thinking she's some cool mysterious goth. no, shes just awkward and doesnt know how to talk to people tbh.
#you cannot convince me raven has any skills that are useful in real life shes good at many things but none of them can get a job#she is useless (affectionate)#she is not a productive member of society and that is so valid actually#if she was forced to get a real job she would try to work in a bookstore or library and get fired bc she just read all day#and then she'd try an herb/tea shop and quit bc it was too much sensory overload with all the customers#then she would try to work just stocking shelves or something and as soon as the manager was mean to her she would burst into tears#(not literally bc she has better control over her emotions than that but she would definitely WANT to burst into tears)#point is she cannot get a job and that is ok. everyone loves her anyway

thinking about... byan getting overstimulated but not recognizing it as being that, and it resulting in them lashing out (often violently) because they don't?? know what's wrong or what to do about it???
#thinking about some of their acting out as a kid being due to unrecognized sensory overload#at this point I really am just leaning in to them being adhd like it literally fits it makes so much sense#me processing my own (probable but currently undiagnosed) neurodivergence keeps solidifying this fact to me#and ofc makes me think more about byan and their traits and how they respond to & deal with it#before I learned about sensory overload this was me (minus the violence)#like I just Did Not understand why everything would suddenly get painful and why I'd get so angry ahdgjsg#definitely strikes me as the sort of experience byan would have and like. as a kid who already has a tendency to act out...#the idea of overstimulation always went completely overlooked#I think even into adulthood they just have no idea that it's what they're experiencing so they have no idea how to cope#anyway...... just thinking today...#━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ ooc ⋮ don’t @ me.

I need you all to know the special prescription toothpaste we've been given is called "Duraphat 5000" which feels like the name of a weapon made by a cartoon supervillain
#personal#thoughts#🍬 post#we're supposed to also get a normal toothpaste for sensitive teeth and actually apply that to our teeth and leave it on overnight#and I'm realising that's going to be sensory hell and we might not actually be able to do it#because normal toothpaste makes our mouth feel bad (like it kind of burns as if it's spicy but cold instead of hot?)#and we'd also get really paranoid about swallowing it#like the lingering mint taste after brushing normally already does that so this would be so much worse#plus we usually feel kind of queasy after using toothpaste and idk if that's from being paranoid about swallowing it#but I definitely feel like it'd be worse if we just had toothpaste chilling on our teeth for an extended period#and I don't think we could handle that#I feel like I'm getting sensory overload just from thinking about it and I can feel myself getting shaky and panicky#so that's not great

Our dogs are tolerating the new year's eve noise pretty well.
I am not.
Hours of torture.
The neighbors have had their karaoke machine thumping away since 4 in the afternoon. Downstairs, people are watching an action movie with lots of gunfire with the volume cranked waaay up.
My ears hurt, my brain hurts, my chest hurts, my lungs feel like they're filled with cotton, and my teeth hurt from clenching my jaw.
I am thiiis close to a mental breakdown or a temper tantrum or both.
I am having intrusive thoughts of breaking every piece of glass in the house and slitting my wrists with them, or of making myself fall down the stairs and cracking my head on the steps.
It's an hour past midnight, people! Go the fuck to sleep so that i can have some quiet in which to reassemble my sanity!
#cw: suicide mention#cw: self-harm mention#the sensory overload is getting to me#maybe an online rant will forestall an irl one#im having some success#holding back the screams#but the crying is definitely starting#I've tried earplugs#headphones#earphones#active noise cancelling#white noise#in all combinations available to me#and it's of limited utility#because i can feel the sound in my bones#and it's making me feel like I'm having#a panic attack#with the physiological features#but not the fear#mostly just festering anger#and extreme frustration#personal

The 87s LOVE turtle piles except for Raphael. Also Mikey likes eating bugs bc turtle :3
See this is adorable but I think I’m going to have to disagree. There’s a few of instances where Raphael accepts physical affection (they give him head pats,,) or gives it himself (he cuddles and boops Leonardo on the nose in the first season) that make me think he’d be less huffy about the whole cuddling thing than you’d think. Heck, the guy had no problem or protest that one time Michelangelo offered to give him a piggyback ride, he just eagerly accepted it, so nahhh I can see him loving them just as much as the others, just maybe he wouldn’t want to as frequently or initiate them or he’d act like a brat about it initially just for the sake of acting like a brat AHA
#Mikey definitely eats bugs though#but yeah 87!Raph doesn’t bother with the whole ‘bad boy’ was of presenting himself much he’s very openly sensitive a lot AHA#if you mean he hates them because of autism however I can see that because honestly turtle piles sound like a sensory overload and a HALF

he's confused your honor
(i don't think he's actually confused but i think it's funny)
#it's exceptionally tasty when they fight and also when they are besties#also he is most definitely still in the throws of sensory overload and the other two fighting doesn't help#sun wukong#zhu bajie#sha wujing#journey to the west 1986 sequel#jttw#xiyouji#xyj

🗡️ + reverse
Some days it's best not to approach Ekal at all. On days where every noise feels like ants crawling under his skin and lights are too bright he usually stays at home. He's only out right now because he needs some groceries. Hair pinned back with cute yellow star hair pins and the rest of his outfit being being in soft yellows and creams is a bit amusing considering he's no longer feeling very welcoming. His hand moves quickly, pulling out a small dagger from a hidden holster somewhere on his person, he holds it level with the stranger's neck. "Look I really don't want blood on this outfit. What the hell do you want?" @scarred-by-monsters

OH idk if this has been asked before, but if someone shot a gun at alt mark and the bullet went into his face void would it hurt him or just. disappear. the taki ask reminded me of this
Everything that goes into the void vanishes. Which is why it’s actually somewhat difficult to shoot him in the face, cause if you hit the void the bullet disappears.
#asks are neat#tmc alternate au#alt mark#it’ll definitely shock him though#just suddenly realized. he’d be super sensitive to the sudden bang of a gun. probably immediately get sensory overload with that.#yet another reason he hates guns
