stop using delusions as a fun quirky thing. stop saying delulu. stop saying that you're being delusional for fun. stop saying schizo. stop saying psycho. stop calling people crazy. stop calling people insane. stop making your villains delusional. stop calling politicians you don't like delusional. stop joking about being in people's walls. stop making fun of hallucinations. stop fucking saying delulu.

Recently we've disovered that our disorganized speech + impulsive blurting out of words that may or may not be Appropriate are getting significantly worse, it's scaring us a bit but we have a solution for it! Possibly. Hopefully.

selfves semiverbal!!!! semiverbal because autistic, and because schizophrenic, and also physical pain + fatigue + weakness

selfves speak largely in scripts, didn't even realize how much relied on until one day learned huh. most people don't do that. have must script every. single. verbal thing that say

if someone initiate talk with us without giving us time to script and if not already have script that works, then will simply. not talk. words not happen. words not come out until able regain bearings and find pre-existing script that selfves have or able use AAC or typing to make script

words come out wrong and explaining really really hard. especially when having schizophrenic episode, words wrong order, and selfves speak sometimes solely in metaphors that not make sense others but selfves not understand how else to say

selfves have trouble putting words together properly, often tack on word to end in way that doesn't make sense, change word order, use punctuation also grammar incorrectly. happens selfves find this happens more when typing that mouthspeak but selfves also know selfves has trauma regarding mouthspeak coming out wrong, not surprised wouldn't be surprised be able find that masking built into mouthspeak HARD because of

words also do things where don't come out right. or have word in brain but mouth doesn't get that word also. so just. don't say it

words sometimes physically hard speak because pain, weakness, fatigue. so can't talk mouthspeak or can only short sentences

repeat things lots sometimes as way to communicate and takes a bit to try and reword in way that others understand once selfves told others not understand

sometimes get big stutter so that difficulties also

can't think of what else. sometimes this is just verbally, all of the above, but other times can't understand words and language overall in general

I get a lot of questions about semiverbalism and what it means. I have a few posts on semiverbalism, however most of them are about what it means to me. So, here’s what semiverbalism is. What it means to other people, and what it can mean.

I encourage people to please correct me if I’m wrong or even add onto it. I will edit this post if I get something wrong! I acknowledge that semiverbalism is a HUGE spectrum.

Semiverbalism can mean;

Speaking in only echolalia or scripts

Speaking in short sentances (example: “I love you” gets shortened to “love you” or “love”)

Speaking only when spoken too

Speaking words out of order and words not coming out correctly

Saying something and it not coming out the same as what you want/thought

Stuttering over your words frequently and talking incoherently

Saying things you don’t mean

Speaking being hard

Having very little words in your vocabulary

Overall, semiverbal as a whole means that speech is hard or speech is incoherent to those around you. Semiverbalism is very individual to the person and is a very personal experience. I know I’m probably not listing all of what makes someone semiverbal.

Please if you’re semiverbal then share your experience! I’d love to hear what makes you semiverbal.

wrong costume

dnf fic, 4.8k words, rated E

When George's costume comes as something he can't wear in public, it's a blessing in disguise. Instead of going to the party, he puts the slutty minion costume on and decides to spend some time alone. Except, Dream bails on the party too, and walks in on something he's not supposed to.

A foreword: I agree with the sentiment of this post and I don't mean to come across as though I don't. There is nothing wrong with having sensory issues, and there is nothing to feel bad about. It is not my intention to come across as rude or dismissive here. However:

I feel like it should be noted that while it is not morally wrong to eat without much variety, it Can be Not Good for your health.

There are different ways to eat just about everything: grilling instead of steaming, putting something in a stew, mixing it in with something else you like, chopping it up really finely, putting it in a curry, etc etc.

A lot of the common safe foods are things like chicken fingers, bread, rice, pasta—things that are processed in such a way they have little variation. This is fine! Sometimes variation is overwhelming, and you just need to eat something. Eating anything is better than eating nothing. However you're probably not going to get all the iron or calcium or vitamin C and so on from these foods.

It's okay if you eat the same thing every day for the rest of your life. That's literally fine, there's nothing morally wrong with that. I'm just a bit worried that some people might use this mindset as a way to excuse not getting a well-rounded supply of vitamins & minerals. There are some serious health issues stemming from poor nutrition. (There are also some annoying health issues, e.g. if you're not getting enough fibre. (But annoying health issues can and do have knock-on effects later!))

The good thing is that there's no "right way" to get your Nutrience. You can put spinach in your brownies, you can have fruit with your dinner—so long as you're getting the variety you need. The rules of what is Supposed to go with which meal and when it should be eaten are meaningless social constructs. Eat when you're hungry, and eat what you enjoy and makes you feel full and energised.

However, going back on what I've just said a little bit (because mealtimes are routines, and we do love our routines): If it helps, and is possible, I strongly suggest figuring out some sort of meal plan. Even if it's not calendar-based (ie "today I will eat X for breakfast, Y for lunch, and Z for dinner, and tomorrow I will do something different"), a printout by the fridge/pantry laying out the different options for each mealtime (and snacks!) can be super helpful in taking away some of the mental load that comes with deciding what to eat.

Do remember though: Eating anything is better than eating nothing. If you don't have the spoons to handle variety, that's okay—just eat Something.

As OP said: It's not wrong to have sensory issues. There is nothing wrong with you. You're just existing, and your brain is like that, and that's OK. There is nothing to feel bad about.

Yours truly, a Neurodivergent person with nutrient deficiencies :)

Reminder: It's alright if you're a "picky" eater. It's alright if you only eat a few specific foods. It's alright if you don't try new foods. It's alright. You should never feel bad about sensory issues. I love you /p

no new digital art this week but I edited collages of some ink people from my sketchbook. a few of these are requests from my friend Carlos.

the point of this sketchbook is to try to draw as if I were a middle schooler drawing just for the sake of it, no expectations of high quality, lots of colored pencils and crayons, and lots of fun!

I’ve always loved medicine bc it’s the perfect intersection of science and humanity—the two things I value above all else in this world. Truly adored it since I was in the cradle. But now I’m thinking about how so much of my journey to neurosurgery will have to involve KILLING my feelings essentially bc how do you survive otherwise

this is wonderful, tysm!!!!

really sorry, appreciate HPD wordmoji but was asking if able to do a symbol emoji, not word emoji. is okay get that? thanks!!!

It’s totally alright! I’ll definitely do that, but I’m not sure how I’d represent that visually since I don’t know enough about it. Anyone have suggestions? I’ll add a symbol emoji to this post once I have a good idea of what to draw :)

Edit: okay! How does this look? I designed it to try to show how people with HPD need to attention in order to feel stable, how their emotions change and shift in response to that, and how they also form behaviors to get that attention. If I should make any edits or changes to the emoji or description please tell me, I’m happy to make them!

[ID: an emoji of a yellow figure with a calm expression and a heart drawn on their chest. Sparkles and little rays are around their head to show stability and calm. They are placing each hand on two different colored circles, one purple and one green, and the colors from each fade up their arms. /End ID]
