Honoring Lord Hephaestus this disability pride month by being gentle with myself and using my mobility aids when I need them during this horrific pain flare instead of putting it all off and acting like I’m okay like I usually do. Does it feel like a setback? Yes. It always does. Never mind the fact my condition is incurable and that I’m always in an awful amount of pain. But I know He wouldn’t want me to make it worse for no reason.

[crps-chronicpain-ptsd]

Just because I’m smiling it doesn’t mean that I’m not in pain.

Celebrating disability pride month by practicing unsafe mobility aid practices. Like sitting on my walker without putting the brakes on. Not because I think I’m cool or anything it just never occurs to me to do that until I fall 🤷

[phagodyke]

trying to avoid telling my roommate that I think the reason I feel bad on the weekends is bc I get rly lonely but I don't want to make her feel guilty for not having the social battery to hang out. or the interest in spending time w me beyond small talking in the kitchen when necessary 👍

Omg I hate meetings like why are my hands shaking talking about municipal elections

3 years ago today, I broke my arm.

3 years ago today, it broke my life.

What seemed like a harmless slip down a hill has become a point often at the edge of a cliff.

Lots of medical jargon, little talk, no talk or talking down to me.

Suggestions. Well wishes. Condescension. Annoyance. Grief.

I have lost my temper. Lost my shit. Lost my patience. Been completely over it.

And I can’t say the journey is over. Because this breakage, will never fully heal.

From a badly damaged arm, has grown a badly damaged life.

I keep being told how incurable it is. Untreatable. Something that should just be managed. Something that will never go away.

Pain they told me. At levels that seem unfair. Often when you least expect it. Forcing you to stop. Try to silence the world.

Something you can’t soothe over with a tablet. No medicine can touch it. It will change with the seasons. It will change with every emotion you feel.

There will never be a way around it. You might win for one day, then lose 12 more to a flare.

Non acceptance only feeds its fuel. Pity stokes its fires even more.

Rest too much, and you’ll over do it. Don’t stop often enough, and it will slam you to the floor.

There’s no point of braveness that will be enough. There’s no shining knight, no armour, no prize or medal at the end.

Instead there’s lessons. Constant learning. Over and over, so you don’t dare forget.

And moments of fear, that it might become worse. Could change at any time. That maybe I’m an imposter. That maybe it’s too much.

I can’t always see beyond this point. I can’t see how it can change.

I also can’t see how much damage it has done. Often closing my eyes, wishing it would go away.

I’m stuck. Like my arm in that moment of time. Not sure who to turn to. How to bandage it. How to make it new.

And I want so desperately for some form of control again. More hope. More want. More grace. More calm.

3 years ago, I was on the eve of something different.

I saw the layout of the land. My plans. My hopes. My goals.

Today I feel not all that much wiser. Still unsure how I’ll be able to move beyond this point to anywhere else. Or how soon.

• For I have a warrior heart •

Waking up, it’s not easy

Feeling the chronic pain within. It burns like the flames of death.

3 years ago I had an incident which led me to fracture my ankle. I begged doctors; something is wrong. “It’s all in your head” they snarled.

I am now living with chronic Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Despite treatments and medications, professional opinions - they can’t fix me

PARXAPALOOZA SET LIST GUESSES

I have spent WAY TOO MUCH TIME on this, but luckily I had a very long car ride. I'm going to both shows and I'm so excited!!

First picture is my full guess for both sets. The songs in black are the ones that are hinted at by only being partially covered by the boxes.

Of the black songs, I think Resolc and Stupid For You are the greatest stretches based on the info provided, but I'm pretty confident it's them. At first I thought the letters could be F and J respectively, but you can just barley make out the curve of the S and the tail coming off that R.

The songs in red are pretty blind guesses, the only thing I checked was that their names wouldn't be longer than SOOH, which honestly doesn't really narrow it down much (I really on crossed off Watch What Happens Next and I Felt Younger When We Met as options), especially since Paranoid isn't a full name and other songs like I Miss Having Sex But At Least I Don't Wanna Die Anymore is often abbreviated. I think Real Super Dark and FAI2 is a must have on both sets, whether or not we're getting RSD or RSD2 remains to be seen, but I'm happy with either! The opener on the Dream Boy set was probably the hardest for me to decide on, because I feel like it should be Watch What Happens Next or something equally as strong, but unless it's abbreviated I'm inclined to guess something else. So, given Not Warriors is on the other set and Awsten's hair has got some purple in it, I decided to say fuck it and put 11:11 on there. The other red songs are very much just based on what I want to hear and what I think sound well next to the black songs.

Finally, here's how I figure how many songs there are based on the spacing of the list and how I picked the black songs. Ignore the R.S.D.2 on the first one, I think it's Resolc.

Idk if I have rsd bc I probably don’t have adhd I’m an autism warrior but I experience something very similar…thinking

[dogboyboyshorts]

"having anxiety about becoming something awful doesn't actually stop you from becoming something awful" is, in the worst cases, used as a mantra peddled by people who aren't interested in examining their behaviors for toxicity or prejudice, but it can also be helpful for people who need reminders that statistically if you have pocd there's basically no chance of you actually harming a child (in that way) and you shouldn't have to worry about taking steps to keep yourself away from them

i love blocking people when they post weird

[crps-chronicpain-ptsd]

Do you ever feel like shouting F*ck and Help at the same time? Lately I feel like I’m loosing my grip . The amount of lost time crushes me for the inside .

more updates! [rc9gn post]

currently working on something for an ask i received and let me just say, this is going to be incredibly chaotic lmao. also why does ao3 have such little tags for RC9GN, give me more i'm begging. it should not be this niche of a fandom!

that show had so much potential- but anyway, here's some more under-the-cut headcanons about our title lead Randy Cunningham!

Randy Cunningham Headcanons

Like mentioned before, this kid has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder- specifically ADHD-C (which just means he has combined inattentiveness and hyperactivity)

Thanks to @mrfartpowered, Randy comes from a rich family! Though both his parents are workaholics and hardly come home which means Randy's left to his own devices

He doesn't fully know how to cook, but he knows enough basics to not completely starve when he's alone at the house- also because he and Howard eat out a lot at like, Charlie Cluckers and PJ McFlubbusters (?)

Randy literally doesn't mind paying for things because his family's kind of fucking loaded!

He has Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) and struggles with not completely giving up in one-go when he fears he's about to be rejected, when he's about to do something wrong- it comes and goes, but there's no way he isn't a little insecure

He's developed a curiosity for law ever since becoming the Ninja. His parents are in awe about it because they think he's wanting to become a lawyer (he doesn't-)

Randy has always been an intense fan of the Ninja as we know from canon. He kept a lot of memorabilia over the years and never parted with it- he wanted to help people, deciding if it wouldn't be the Ninja, he would do other forms of service. Imagine his surprise when he's actually chosen to be the Ninja

He looks up to the First Ninja. Like, a lot

I'm trying to not accidentally spoil anything in the headcanons, but okay this has to be one of my favorites: you can't convince me that Randy wouldn't use more powers he found in the Shadow Warrior's part of the Nomicon

The Ninja Suit can only protect Randy from only some injuries- if anyone read my tengu! Howard fic, the suit will automatically have a defense/safety mechanism built in to heal any severe injuries/wounds- it sort of overrides the user and knocks them out (especially when it comes to near-death experiences)

If there ever was a time when a Ninja had to decommission early (coughs Mac Antfee coughs), someone else would have to be chosen- it's sometimes a hastily chosen decision but this rarely- if ever- happens. Somehow not many notices

Angst Headcanons

There have been times when Howard has needed to patch Randy up after some nasty fights- this one time Randy didn't make it back after a battle and he was found with a nasty gash, barely managing to stay awake and it freaked out Howard a lot

Randy sometimes uses the Nomicon to avoid his problems- it's become an unhealthy habit but he can't quite bring himself to stop

You can't tell me he doesn't dissociate. When Randy isn't actively doing his part in being the Ninja, he tends to space out a lot and he isn't all too present to say the least

This boy does have some scars. You can't convince me otherwise

He doesn't really question his self worth as the Ninja, but the thoughts still come sometimes- wondering if he's doing a good enough job, if the Nomicon hadn't made a mistake choosing him. It eats him up more when his RSD acts up

Randy does his best to impress Finja and feels horrible everytime he feels he's messed up. He doesn't like seeing others' disappointed (gee, I wonder why /lhs)

He feels responsible for others getting hurt-

I don't have much else to add, but let me just say I'll be doing another post soon! I have something kind of fun planned when it comes to the currently unofficial canon for Into the NInjaverse! I'm kind of hyped and all over the place today!

[demonstars]

he was doing a space and someone asked him if george would get his own cat and dream started dooming them by staying george didn’t like to be tied down because he likes to travel around and that he’d go to LA eventually and etc etc. like brother how did you forget that 6 months prior you both were going to spend like $50k so george could clone your daughter to have a baby patches

He was experiencing so much rsd over delusions he made up himself and he was so sure it was dnfover for nothing like girl YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE OUR STRONGEST WARRIOR.

oct 13th - introduce your hawke

lets pretend ive done all the other 12 days okay ? ok ^_^

nikolas "nikky" hawke is my main worldstate hawke . he is a warrior , specifically reaver , and he's a majority diplomatic personality , but was known to be more angry during act 3 . he's trans masc , and he romances fenris . he's 6'6 ft tall , and has a very nice and kind smile . he tries to choose kindness , but it becomes hard for him .

he's forever the eldest daughter archetype ; he helped raise his siblings , taking care of them and helping leandra especially after malcolms death . he struggles a lot with insecurities of never being or feeling good enough , of feeling like he's failed , of feeling like what he does is never Enough for anyone . he deals with rsd and is very stressed most of the time .

hes friend with most of the companions ; his closest two friends , aside from fenris , are merrill and isabela . he and aveline are not friends , nikky very much dislikes her , and his disdain towards her increases after leandra's death , which he places some of the blame onto her . they never see eye to eye , and a lot of the time their conversations are short lived and short fused . his relationship with anders is strained after the chantry explosion , they both struggle to keep in contact with one another . he and sebastian cut contact , as nikky wouldn't kill anders despite his actions and sebastian's pleading . if they met each other again , a fight would definitely occur . fenris and him are romantically entangled . nikolas adores fenris , he loves his personality and his dead pan jokes . he loves him in general . they're a battle couple , one covering the other's back . nikolas has trouble leaving fenris's side , he likes being on his arm . they three years between the act 2 and 3 romance was a bit awkward and strained , both still dancing around their feelings [nikky has an increasingly bad habit of shoving down his feelings] . truthfully i just think their relationship is mostly the exact same as it is in game , its hard for me to accurately describe . fenris did have quite a few things to say when they reunite after here lies in the abyss , while nikky is just shocked that fenris now has an undercut . which nikky quite likes .

the relationship between him and leandra is strained , pulling at the chords of friendly and twisting it into something less . he still loves his mother , but she's put a lot on his shoulders even if she didnt mean to . he mourns her death ; he still feels , years later , that he could have done something to prevent it . he misses carver . he wishes he could have their bickering back even if his memory of carver is slowly fading , and becoming more of wishing instead of memory . bethany and him are still close , even if he accidentally sent her to the circle by not bringing her with him to the deep roads . its not a connection that it once was , theres some grudges still being held , maybe from both of them . he keeps in contact with her frequently , meeting up in person after here lies the abyss . he forever loves his baby sister , she's the only family he has left .

he's more jaded during inquisition and after ; he's not ready to let new people in , he's tired of being titled "champion of kirkwall" , in general , he's just tired . he doesn't get left behind in the fade [alistair does] , and it leaves him reeling . he built himself up to be left behind , due to him feeling like he's damned the world as he released corypheus ; now , afterwards , he doesnt know what to do with himself . he mostly travels with bethany , fenris , and his and fenris's adopted child , sylvan . he's back into being a protector role , especially to the mages [sylvan doesn't have good control over their magic , and it makes nikky worried that he'll lose his child like he lost bethany to the circle once before]

the champion of kirkwall carries many scars , most notable one being a scar through his stomach that the arishok had gifted him during their duel . it still pains him to this day . other notable ones being two holes in his ear , one where a toddler bethany had yanked out his piercing , the other from him being hit by a templar's arrow . the scars across his nose are from a wolf , the one from his jaw from a bar fight with a glass bottle , and he has quite a few more littered all across his body .

he is my little [big] meow meow and i love him so dearly .
