So I mentioned a few asks ago that I taught myself how to book bind (LEGALLY!!!!!!!!!) in order to make myself a hard copy of TLE. It has some imperfections (let’s ignore the glue stains on the cover ….), but overall I’m pretty happy with how it turned out! So excited to bind TLE 2, though I’m going to have to split it into two books because this one is over 600 pages 😭

Oh my god, this is SO beautiful!!! 😭😭😭

I’m so impressed by people who can book bind!! So talented!!!

And omg 600 pages 🙈🙈🙈 how did that happen lmao

SOMEOME (@mabelexclamationpoint) forced me (by which I means suggested and I was not hard to convince) to read The Last Enemy by @chdarling and I'm devastated (by which I mean fundamentally changed as a person and completely obsessed now).

You can thank she-who-must-not-be-named (again, @mabelexclamationpoint but also a little bit @chdarling because damn) for putting me back on a Jily spiral

[PMD Day] Explorers Camp Under the Cherry Tree

---

... under one full moon night.

This is my entry for PMD Day, happening at August the 2nd.

Looking back, whenever I do something this grand, (scenic BG, fancy style shading), it's usually in the form of commission. Thought of trying it for the PMD Day Art.

The scenery is partly inspired by Minecraft's Cherry Grove biome, hence the sakura tree acting as the feature piece of the scene. With my PMD AU cast from The Lucid Explorer, and Mountain Luxio, having a good time in the camp, whilst Iago (Floragato) tells stories and folklore of his home region.

Now to those who had followed TLE so far, you might be wondering why is it that Sylvir (Skitty)'s partner a Shinx, and not a Luxio (Mason). Well, that, I cannot answer for now, as this scene is not related to both AUs... This is just a fun little scenic drawing of mine to celebrate PMD Day. --- Team Avant-garde: > ??? (Shinx) > Sylvir (Skitty) > Meredith (Lombre) > Wisteria (Barboach) > Homer (Electrike) Mountaineering Felines from MtLu: > Louise (Luxio) > Iago (Floragato) > Benjamin (Torracat)

If you're interested in a commission from me, [do check here] for details. Or you can check my [Carrd art commissions.] Or you can DM me too.

You can support me via [Ko-fi] and/or [Patreon] too!

The Lucid Explorer is a Novel-format AU based on my first PMD Explorers of Sky Run. Mountain Luxio is a PMD Explorers AU comic series inspired by the game Celeste.

Pokémon, PMD and Celeste are (c) to their respective owners and franchises.

Hey! We don't know each other but I found you through the PNES tag. I'm trying to find out more info about PNES versus temporal lobe epilepsy, to help me figure out how likely it is that I need medication for what I'm pretty sure are focal seizures.

My question is: can PNES seizures have an aura?

Are there any ways you know of to tell the difference aside from an EEG during an episode? I am planning on getting a neuro referral at my next doctor's appointment but it's been giving me bad anxiety worrying about it.

Thank you for your time.

Hello! I really hope things go well with your appointment! I know how scary all of it can be. I have full faith that you've totally got this though!!

So, to answer your question: yes, some people with PNES can and will experience an aura before a seizure, but others won't. The way that PNES affects people and is experienced can vary from person to person. For example, like I said, I do experience an aura sensation before I have a seizure. My head begins to fog up in a way that's kind of hard for me to fully describe. For me, it's almost like I'm slowly becoming mentally numb, like a fog is rolling in that puts me on high alert. But I also have other tell-teale signs that I'm about to seize: my left hand always starts to tremble, and I always become vastly less-than-aware of myself and my surroundings. Other people with PNES might have different cues, or similar cues, or anything else entirely. That being said, the seizures themselves can differ, too. While mine include no longer being in control of my limbs and violent convulsions and twitches, some people may have ones that look like absence seizures, or even another type completely.

Before I was officially diagnosed, I went to two different neurologists and had two different EEG scans done: one in office and one overnight. They monitored how my brain behaved both outside of a seizure and during a seizure. PNES seizures and epileptic seizures look very different on EEGs, which is to be expected due to their different causes. It's actually pretty cool to see the difference, I recommend looking up some different scans to see! But outside of the tests, my doctors ran through my symptoms and how I experience having a seizure, and were able to jot down the differences in what I was experiencing compared to someone with epilepsy. For example, I'm actually able to hear everything around me during a seizure, but since I'm seizing, I'm unresponsive no matter what, which tends to be abnormal for the type of seizure I experience. I also go completely nonverbal after a seizure for anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. But again, that's just how I experience them. Experiences can and often times will vary from person to person, but the cause is the same: PNES is brought on by an emotional response, while epileptic seizures are caused by a physical response from the brains nerves cells.

Now that being said, temporal lobe epilepsy doesn't seem to be caused by an emotional reaction, but rather, can be triggered by an emotional reaction (usually high stress levels) due to the epilepsy being present in the, well, temporal lobes. Which then circles back around to the overall cause being different, though symptoms can be similar.

To be honest, due to their similarities, I'm not sure if you could be diagnosed with one or the other without having EEGs and other tests done. But the good news is, none of the tests hurt! And for all of them you'll be closely monitored so in the event of a seizure you won't be injured then, either.

(I'm a "glass half full" kind of person lmao)

I cannot stress enough how important it is to be honest with your doctor about what you're experiencing. It's definitely anxiety inducing for a lot of us, but the more open and honest you are with them, the more they can help steer you in the right direction. And if you get saddled with a doctor unwilling to listen or simply write you off, please don't hesitate to really advocate for yourself. You really need to be in your own corner so you can get the correct diagnosis, so you can then get the proper help and treatment you need. It'll take time, and at some points it'll probably be frustrating--I know it was for me--but it's so important to get the proper treatment for the true problem.

I really, really hope that things go well for you and that you can figure out what it is that you're experiencing! I'm rooting for you!!

(Also this got very long very quickly, but I hope it helps nonetheless!)

THEY’RE SO FUCKING . ugh

[lethargicdragondoodles]

"An old colleague of my father’s is rather high up in the Department of Magical Commerce and said they’d love to have me as a Junior Officer. Daddy wanted me to work for his business for a few years, but I rather stuck my nose up at that, to tell you the truth. He means well, but honestly, I think he just wanted to keep an eye on me for a few years before he could make sure I settled down. And I am not interested in that, thank you very much.”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

“I’m about to graduate, all right? I’ve got a handful of months left in this castle before they kick me out on my Muggle arse into a world that hates that I exist. I don’t have a job lined up. I don’t even have the hope of a job lined up. ‘Old Sluggy’ didn’t get me a cozy internship, or even so much as a handshake. Seven years of schooling, and I can’t even get anyone to look at me long enough to do me the honor of rejecting me. And on top of all that, there’s a fuckin’ war going on, right? Every day, people like me are being murdered, but at least my head of house gave me some fuckin’ pamphlets on my fuckin’ career prospects.”

A parallel I couldn't stop thinking about, from @chdarling's The Last Enemy: Dark Marks.

“I hate it here so I will go to

Secret gardens in my mind…”

TLE is my secret garden, my roman empire, my comfort place. Reread it every time I go dark mentally, it is my coping mechanism now. English is my third language and I learn so many new words every time!

Thank you for this beautiful and rare magic🤍 Wish you a good day🫂

I appreciate this so much, thank you. 🥲

TLE has been my secret garden for so long, it has truly been an incredible experience opening the gate at last and letting others into a place I have long kept hidden. It still astonishes me sometimes when I look up and see other people walking down the paths, smelling the flowers. It’s been a beautiful, overwhelming thing, and I’m very grateful. ❤️
