#I'm sorry I'm behind on asks I feel like it never fucking ends#can't talk to family about it. they worry too much. cant talk to friends about it. they just start giving unwarranted (well meaning) advice#and plus they basically live with me atp with how often they're over helping me fuck do I do?? bother them more??#dude it's embaressing even if it's not chronic shit it's just unlucky shit like how u gonna have an allergic reaction & then seizure same d#idk about therapy therapists scare me. it's not a therapy issue though I'm just tired and in pain all the fucking time#one more person says “same omg” or “well have you tried-” i will start cutting peoples throat and eating their livers#you do NOT know what it's like having to write your own will before 30 like this shit aint right shit aint fair#makes me petty and shit too people who are healthy like can you just fucking suffer why do you get that freedom but not me#it just never ends#like I really fucking hate it when people say “oh you have so much to live for” because no I don't#Not so sound like a right winger gosh dang god fearer but like deadass people focus so heavily on “mental health!!” they don't#realize even if you feel better and get therapy or shit that's not gonna be realistically helpful for anything physical going on in sm#it's a cycle even if you manage 1 thing - the medications cause a 2nd thing#and that's alongside all the OTHER things you take medications for which cause all those other things#it's like multiplying and makes your body slowly deplete but like never quite die. like I know realistically I can just die anyday#and yeah it is getting worse but it's no different because it's not about that#when you're sick it's not just “OMG DYING!!!” it's like. everything else in your life dies.#you can't cook for yourself. you can't clean. you can't move. you can't hang out with people anymore. you can barely work LMFAO.#I'm REALLY close to quitting it's not even funny lmao. cant put clothes on without struggling.#do people not know it's. physically impossible. to even eat sometimes. just vomit it all up or seize.#yeah it does make me petty#rant

Physically, I'm already lying down.
Emotionally, I feel like I need to find a soft spot and crumple dramatically to the ground and lay down for a few weeks.
#sonder speaks#personal#but also if I wasn't fine with this being read/reblogged without context I wouldn't have posted it here#this week has been exhausting#I feel like I need permission from someone to go crawl into a nest and cry#one of my budgies died a few days ago#but I was looking after other animals that normally have a more dedicated caretaker#which was hard enough to handle that I couldn't really mourn my budgie much#especially when I need to keep happy around the remaining one so he doesn't grieve or get lonely#and I had to do a few specific tasks that are really really hard on me because nobody was there to help#and I tried to help my sister with things but none of the things worked#and a plan our family is excited about started to hit roadblocks#and one member of the family had a meltdown that triggered trauma in others in the family and drove things downhill#the family members at the center of this meltdown normally help me with chores and animal care#I was looking forward to them being home so I could rest and recuperatr and mourn#and now the meltdown has followed them here and it's built on top of years of other meltdowns and everything is tense#and of course it's bringing up old traumas and expectations and fears for me too#and I end up as a 30 year old feeling like he has 16 year old problems again#my whole body is tense#I'm not tired enough to sleep#I almost feel like crying for my budgie and all my fears and the things I let mysrlf get excited for#the things that either won't happen at all or are tainted by this veil of persistent bitterness that followed them home to me#almost#but I fear the possibility that crying could make things worse in any capacity#and I've struggled to cry for years anyway#so I'm just trying to use therapy tools to quiet the spiraling thoughts#and making this post because it feels like journaling without the pitfalls I fall into while journaling or talking directly to a person#hoping I'll get enough sleep that I don't accidentally trigger a sleep-deprivation/stress seizure my meds can't stop#and tomorrow I have to get back to studying which is very hard for me but gets me closer to making money#I liked when things were mostly good and calm and just sucked on a passive level -- can I have that again?

"Oo, fancy," Cherri says with a nod to the infernal cellphone. Angel's lip curls instinctively and her eyebrow raises. "Or not."
"It's a gift from my boss." He frowns at the screen, at the tiny letters — a message from Val, of course. How did the moth demon even figure out texting? Can he even read anything on the little screen?
"That the guy who's texting you?"
"Who else?" He snaps the phone closed, irritated, turns away to try to flag down the bartender. He needs another drink. "Only came with one number programmed in it." Well, it's got Vox's number in it too, and he imagines he'll have Velvette's before the week is out. But that amounts to the same thing — doesn't it?
---
Chapter 3 of My Body Is An Orphanage (We Take Everyone In) is on AO3! Featuring a staring contest with a flip phone, good friend Cherri Bomb, and moving out of Vee Tower. Is this Vox's version of helping?
Chapter CWs: sexual assault, injuries from rape, drug and alcohol use, addiction & withdrawal, abusive relationship, panic attack
As always, please heed the warnings and let me know if there's anything I forgot to warn for. Pay special attention to the sexual assault and withdrawal warnings this chapter. <3
#hazbin hotel#angel dust#hazbin angel dust#hazbin anthony#angel dust x vox#cherri bomb#this chapter gets really dark you guys I'm sorry#nobody is having a good time#i did research on what seizures feel like if that gives you a sense of how things are going for our POV character#the Angel Dust Needs A Hug tag has never been more accurate#sorry

transphobes attacking me on insta for taking HRT after i literally explain that T saved my life by stopping my near-constant menstrual linked-hormonal seizures that i've been having since i was abt 16ish.... they don't actually care if it literally is keeping you alive in a medical sense they want you dead because you don't hate that you're not cis regardless
#pre-T i was never sure if i wanted HRT but after starting T it literally fucking saved my life and i can't imagine going back#full on. my roommates used to have to sit with me for hours in case i choked and died while going in and out of sei#seizures#it was terrifying for me AND them. i would have no thought going through my head besides 'please dont let me die like this'#HRT literally saved my life. it has been the ONLY thing to stop such aggressive and regularly seizures#and while im still disabled im at least not worried ALL THE TIME i'll die suddenly from this struggle#cis people would literally rather me DEAD than being ok with facial hair growth in exchange for no seizures#im a little drinkie i apologize for ranting. im just genuinely so upset objectively#someone said im ABUSING hormones.....#i had an episode in late 2021 that i was in and out of a seizing state for 2 hours. TWO HOURS.#the longest episode i've had since starting T over a year ago was maybe 20 seconds#i feel sick at the idea that people want me to suffer so significantly because they don't like that i'm enjoying the gender euphoria too#fuck. anyway.#rant#ig.....#alcohol tw

feels like i'm stuck in the hellscape that i left after covid but it's just living alone with my dad for more than a weekend
#also i've figured out what's wrong with my cat. i know i shouldn't google diagnose and i'm not a vet (much as i'd like to be)#nor is my human medical knowledge very extensive despite the degree#i also know i'm too anxious about this stuff#but i think he had a seizure#right in front of me#won't go into detail because i'll spiral if i type it out#was sat on the ground with him after that and my dad decides it's the right time to have a go at me#berating me for leaving the room every time he enters#which i did once because he was crashing plates together and i'm autistic ffs#i need to finish studying because there's nothing i can do for my cat other than watch him and make sure he doesn't fall#he's got a small cut on his noise from yesterday which i've tried to clean but he's too wiggly#was a worm in a previous life confirmed#i'm so paranoid that it's not a cut and actually just a bleeding nose#he seems happy and chill as per usual but i need to say something to someone idk what to do#my dad has lived with this cat for 10 years and still avoids referring to him or calling him by his name so that's out of the question#i won't talk to my brother about it because i'd be pushing onto him what's probably just paranoia that he really doesn't need to hear#so i'll tumblr vent. and wait for my mum to get back#should be tomorrow then i'll feel like i'm a real person again

like i'm not just talking out of my ass. one of my many side job hats is helping people apply for canada council for the arts grants. he would be a fantastic candidate if he hadn't, yknow, burned that bridge
#bark bark#i'm also on disability. i have adhd. i have a tbi.#for fuck's sake i recently found out something i experienced regularly before my current med regime was a seizure if you want to go there#likely caused BY the repeated concussions! given when and how it started!#hearing him go uwu it's just impossible for me to have any other career#feels like him trying to guilt people into staying in his audience because he's disabled#and feels reflective of an entitlement that is really really off-putting

How am I dissociated, numb AND dealing with allodynia at the same time. What are bodies.
#it's like *I'm* not in my body so *I'm* not feeling anything#but someone else *is* in my body and *they're* extremely ouchie hurty#how. why. can it not.#non religion#health stuff#cats lately have been like “hey mom you seem really dissociated”#and I'm like “what huh no I'm not”#[stops what I'm doing and realizes i am. in fact. extremely dissociated]#“oh son of a bitch FINE YOU WIN”#sometimes they catch that I'm going to have a seizure before i even clock that I'm dissociated to the point of seizure#like HOW. I DID NOT TRAIN YOU GUYS TO DO THIS

STOP DOING THIS IN INJURY FICS!!
Bleeding:
Blood is warm. if blood is cold, you’re really fucking feverish or the person is dead. it’s only sticky after it coagulates.
It smells! like iron, obv, but very metallic. heavy blood loss has a really potent smell, someone will notice.
Unless in a state of shock or fight-flight mode, a character will know they’re bleeding. stop with the ‘i didn’t even feel it’ yeah you did. drowsiness, confusion, pale complexion, nausea, clumsiness, and memory loss are symptoms to include.
blood flow ebbs. sometimes it’s really gushin’, other times it’s a trickle. could be the same wound at different points.
it’s slow. use this to your advantage! more sad writer times hehehe.
Stab wounds:
I have been mildly impaled with rebar on an occasion, so let me explain from experience. being stabbed is bizarre af. your body is soft. you can squish it, feel it jiggle when you move. whatever just stabbed you? not jiggly. it feels stiff and numb after the pain fades. often, stab wounds lead to nerve damage. hands, arms, feet, neck, all have more motor nerve clusters than the torso. fingers may go numb or useless if a tendon is nicked.
also, bleeding takes FOREVER to stop, as mentioned above.
if the wound has an exit wound, like a bullet clean through or a spear through the whole limb, DONT REMOVE THE OBJECT. character will die. leave it, bandage around it. could be a good opportunity for some touchy touchy :)
whump writers - good opportunity for caretaker angst and fluff w/ trying to manhandle whumpee into a good position to access both sites
Concussion:
despite the amnesia and confusion, people ain’t that articulate. even if they’re mumbling about how much they love (person) - if that’s ur trope - or a secret, it’s gonna make no sense. garbled nonsense, no full sentences, just a coupla words here and there.
if the concussion is mild, they’re gonna feel fine. until….bam! out like a light. kinda funny to witness, but also a good time for some caretaking fluff.
Fever:
you die at 110F. no 'oh no his fever is 120F!! ahhh!“ no his fever is 0F because he’s fucking dead. you lose consciousness around 103, sometimes less if it’s a child. brain damage occurs at over 104.
ACTUAL SYMPTOMS:
sluggishness
seizures (severe)
inability to speak clearly
feeling chilly/shivering
nausea
pain
delirium
symptoms increase as fever rises. slow build that secret sickness! feverish people can be irritable, maybe a bit of sass followed by some hurt/comfort. never hurt anybody.
ALSO about fevers - they absolutely can cause hallucinations. Sometimes these alter memory and future memory processing. they're scary shit guys.
fevers are a big deal! bad shit can happen! milk that till its dry (chill out) and get some good hurt/comfort whumpee shit.
keep writing u sadistic nerds xox love you
ALSO I FORGOT LEMME ADD ON:
YOU DIE AT 85F
sorry I forgot. at that point for a sustained period of time you're too cold to survive.
pt 2
also please stop traumadumping in the notes/tags, that's not the point of this post. it's really upsetting to see on my feed, so i'm muting the notifs for this post. if you have a question about this post, dm me, but i don't want a constant influx of traumatic stories. xox

hate trying to look up disorders & shit because everything is just like "how to deal with a super inconvenient idiot who has X which we all know is just an excuse to be inconvenient & stupid" instead of what i really need which is "how to tell if you have X, from a person diagnosed with X"
#am i having seizures?? who fucking knows!!! no one will tell me & i don't have a doctor to ask#i only found out because i overheard by mom laughing about me passing out going limp & shaking while on the phone with who fucking knows#so fuck me & my stupid baka life i guess#accidentally found out i have symptoms for like. a brain tumour but i won't find anything out about that for a long while so. rip#not even allowed to entertain the idea because then no one will take anything i say seriously#my head is constantly hurting & i feel like i'm gonna pass out & i'm losing my balance & coherent thought & i have a soft spot on my skull#but like no doctor will listen to me if i don't let them figure it out themself like a fucking detective or some shit#& my family thinks i'm a chronic liar especially when it comes to medical stuff#so i'm on tumblr complaining about it. yeah.#if i suddenly stop using tumblr & disappear. you know what happened then#i know i say this a lot as a joke but. seriously. i never expected to live past 30 anyways so if i disappear. yeah#hey maybe it's just the anxiety & everything's fine. who knows#i just got my driver's license back too. damn

hey there!! nothing is set in stone quite yet i still have to see if i can make something work before resorting to it but i may offer small sketches and stuff for pay or even donations to help pay for my seizure meds. i learned about 2 weeks ago that with my new insurance the copay is $994. obviously that's not affordable and i need my meds i can't choose not to take them. it's not a good solution for the long term because i'd still have to get refills and i don't expect to be asking for help every three months, but at least in the meantime i really need these and i'm on the last ones in my current refill.
#signal boost#boost#i guess#again its not like i'm officially going to do it but#not just yet at least#but#i'm happy to drop my kofi if anyone feels kind#i'm not a super artist i'm much more of a writer but#its easier for me in terms of energy to draw than it is to write#i do do writing commissions but my portfolio is not up to date so i can't offer any new writing pieces for example#otherwise i'd happily drop my price sheet (thats years old but whatever)#disability talk#disabled#neurodivergent#epilepsy#epileptic#decided it was time to finally put the possible word out at least after having a seizure earlier :/#i dont want to go to much into detail i dont need to spill my feelings about the whole situation for everyone to see but#i was very upset when i found out the cost at the pharmacy to say the least#i can post example sketches of my art in a bit#i do more traditional than digital but i can do both (and for the sake of comms i prefer digital)

2 months seizure free ✌🏻
#i love how it's bare minimum but I'm celebrating it like a big accomplishment#i mean mere survival is an accomplishment to me#i hope it lasts forever but i know it won't and I know I'm at risk of having a seizure at any point in my life#and at risk of dying in a seizure#knowing the chance is small doesn't make it better#and i hate when people compare my risk of dying in an epileptic seizure to the risk of dying in a car accident#because having epilepsy is abnormal and it's absolutely not like walking out on the streets and getting in an accident#no one knows how it feels and no one understands what it means to properly take two anti-seizure pills a day for possibly the rest of my lif#I'm also considering changing my neurologist tho I've literally been going to the same doctor for 10 years

absolutely fucking hate trying to take photos with this fucking phone they're ALL blurry except ONE. but it's the only way i can take pictures. because if i even dare to go out onto the step without him my geriatric little shitter of a dog pitches a fucking fit. it's worse than having a kid i swear to fuck. at least i could be left home alone at 12, this little shitter is 16 and he's never grown and will never grow out of being an obnoxious fuck
#not art#i don't like leaving him alone because 1. you can hear his screechy whine all the way down the road#and i don't want the neighbors to bitch#and 2. he's old and has had seizures before#but for fuck sake i just wanna GO OUT ALONE. TO TAKE PHOTOS. TO FORAGE SEAWEED.#ANYTHING.#and no i don't have any friends that can babysit him or take his leash so i have my hands free on walks.#''just give him away'' my dad made Me promise to take care of him and like some stupid fae creature i keep my promises#to the detriment of both myself and those associated with whatever promise it is#i go outside every day and yet it still feels stuffy#i'm too schizoid for animal companionship#doesn't help that when i slept with him while he was sick like. a week ago.#i'm still fucking ITCHY from doing so#did i mention that i'm allergic to him :)?#i'm not supposed to be allergic to dogs but i guess i am :)????#so i can't play with him or anything without suffering either. and allergies make me angry.#so it's a feedback loop of Fuck You Dad Why Didn't You Plan Better??

I'm so behind on my assignments. It's like I'm so ready to do them but my anxiety gets the best of me and then I freeze and just listen to random shit and online shop, except I don't buy anything.
#ramble#anxiety#tw anxiety#I've been an online student for like 7+ years and it still gets me#although this is a masters program and I'm just terrified#it just makes me spiral about life and what my future holds#will it go to plan? probably not#I still have to fucking dream and hope because otherwise life is sad as hell#but I'm going to the eras tour so that's a solid win#I'm terrified that I won't be able to go#I couldn't go to the reputation tour because I was hospitalised after having a grand Mal seizure#so I'm terrified that even though I'm doing well on my meds something bad is going to happen#so then that feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop just boosts anxiety like crazy#I have epilepsy for context#no one is going to read this and that's a good thing lol#I'm spilling way to much here#putting it all in the tags#I didn't do work today - I just researched makeup and stuff for my eras outfit#because if I focus on that I can hope#one could say...to live for the hope of it all#august supremacy tbh#alright - that's my ramble for the night#I write a lot when I'm on Tumblr on my computer#I'm normally on mobile#I hope everything works out#I'm so scared of something happening and my life gets set back#it's like whenever something good happens shit has to ruin it#like last year was so fucking bad - I lost my grandpa and my dog#my mom and I had to help put my grandparents dog to sleep because he was sick#all of this happened within 2 months or so

Torn VI
Kewis x Child!Reader
Summary: You go to hospital
Kristie is at training.
Summer holidays usually means preseason for Sam. It usually means a few weeks where the three of you get to do fun things together before going back into preseason.
But with her knee, it means more time lazing around the house with you.
You're having a lot of fun playing dinosaurs with her, not yet changed out of your fuzzy Spinosaurus onesie as one of the Land Before Time episodes plays on the tv.
You drop your toy though and Sam gently moves it away.
Your seizures have gotten easier to deal with now that you've gone on your medicine. They've gone down to maybe two or three every few days and, while you're none the wiser about why your seizures are a bad thing, it makes Kristie and Sam feel safer.
But this one is different.
Usually, your seizures are only a few seconds long but, as Sam checks her phone, she knows it's been a few minutes now.
That's never happened before and, as your mouth opens and closes in repetitive chewing movements, she jerks into action.
There's blood in your mouth.
Blood that definitely shouldn't be there.
She fumbles with her phone for a moment, almost dropping it completely.
"Hello? Yes, er, I need an ambulance! My-My kid's having a seizure and she's bleeding and-and I don't know what to do!"
Questions rattle off the operator's lips faster than Sam can keep up.
"Yes. She's five, nearly six. Er, she's got CAE but this is different. I-I don't know! She's kind of jerking a little bit? And I think she's bitten her cheek because she's bleeding. She's on medication but...Yes, I'm Mum."
Sam rattles off more information, anything she can think of and the operator is nice enough to stay on the phone until the ambulance gets there.
It's only when Sam's at the hospital that she realises Kristie's at training.
Kristie's at training and is none the wiser about what's just happened.
Riding in the ambulance was the scariest thing Sam has ever done with you, far eclipsing the other scariest thing she had ever done with you which was hiding all of Kristie's eyebrow pencils.
You'd had an accident in the ambulance which all the paramedics said was normal. You bit at your cheek again which all the paramedics said was expected.
You'd jerked your little limbs and suddenly looked smaller than your almost six years as you lay in the stretcher in your fuzzy dinosaur onesie.
"Chook, baby," Sam had said in the ambulance," It's going to be okay. Alright? You're going to be alright."
It takes Sam a while to pluck up the courage to call Kristie, to let her know that something's happened to you and now you're in hospital.
Kriste's there within the hour, just as you wake up.
You'd briefly been awake when your seizure was over but so exhausted and so confused, Sam had coaxed you to sleep again.
“Mommy,” You say as your eyelids flutter open, reaching out for her.
Kristie grabs your hand quickly, squeezing ever so slightly like she’s making sure that you’re with her. “Hey, chook,” She coos as Sam appears at your other side,” How are you feeling?”
You frown. “Mom talked to me,” You say instead.
“Huh?”
“When I went all funny. I heard Mom talkin’ to me.”
“You could hear that, huh, chook?” Sam asks, taking your other hand and you nod.
“You said I was going to be okay. What happened?” You frown, looking down at yourself. “Where’s my dino pjs?”
“They’re going in the wash, chook,” Sam says,” They…They got a bit dirty in the ambulance.”
“Ambulance?”
“Yes, the ambulance. Do you remember, chook? You…You had a pretty bad…episode, didn’t you?”
“My arms went all floppy and weird.”
“That’s right. That must have been scary, huh?”
You shake you head. “No, ‘cause I had Mom saying everything will be okay. Mom doesn’t lie about important things like that.”
Kristie smiles. It’s a weak smile though and Sam knows that a crying session is inevitable once this is all sorted out. Kristie can hold herself together for you. She has to be strong for you, her little girl that only kind of understands what has happened to her.
“The doctors are going to come in and have a look at you, alright?” Kristie runs a finger over your nose and you giggle a little bit, going cross eyed to track its slope downwards.
“Okay and then we go back home?”
“Maybe,” Sam says,” We’ll see what they say. They might want to keep you a bit later.”
It’s not unlike your other doctor appointments, when they put you in the big machine and did tests. The inside of your cheek is a little tender when you run your tongue along it and your arms are kind of bruised and weird looking. You think your head is a little achy too but you’ve got pillows behind it so you don’t really notice.
“And you think this is a one off?” Kristie says from outside your hospital room, glancing back inside as you and Sam watch another Land Before Time episode on her phone.
“It’s not uncommon for children with CAE to experience other types of seizures. They go away with age-“
“That’s what they said about the CAE but look at her! She’s in hospital. The meds…They’re meant to be helping-“
“Miss Mewis,” The doctor says,” I understand completely but these things do happen. She’s happy and healthy and we’ve got information leaflets to help parents get through this kind of thing. We recommend a follow up with her neurologist and GP just to be on the safe side but this is all normal. Plenty of people live with seizures every day.”
Kristie releases a noisy breath. “Right. Yes. How soon until we go home?”
“Tomorrow should be good. We can set up a bed for one of your to stay here with her overnight but this is all just precaution. As long as everything is a-okay tomorrow morning, we can get you all in your way.”
“Thank you,” Kristie says,” I’ll just go in and tell her.”
You look up as Kristie comes in, head tilting to the side and hair falling over your eyes. “Mommy?”
“I’m going to stay here with you tonight,” Kristie says, sitting on the bed with you,” And then tomorrow, we’re going to go home. Sound good?”
You think for a moment. “And then my dino pjs will get washed?”
“I’ll wash them tonight,” Sam promises you,” And I’ll make sure they’re all toasty warm for you when you get home tomorrow.”
“Okay,” You say,” We can stay here for the night.”
