#atypical rambling

[atypicalstrong]

So I really hate to do this but I have no choice at this point. I have no money at all and my internet bill is due in 5 days (Nov. 3rd). I'm a trans disabled person and losing internet access would be catastrophic for my ability to attend telehealth appointments and find gig work online. I only need $50 to cover the bill so I would appreciate even just a dollar donation sent to my PayPal. Screenshots of proof and PayPal link below:

the premise of the atypical family is so interesting and there’s so many good drama elements at play already… but the use of a fat suit in the year 2024? really????

The Atypical Family. Episode Twelve.

Fire literally incapacitates her(understandably) ..she can’t get close to it on a stove….and she fought through it all to get to I Na.

Maintaining eye contact while she sets up the exact same scam with another dude is such a power move

Thinking about making a general atypical dysphoria terms archive blog (mainly transID replacements but also more). What are we thinking?

cuteness — ramblings

i've researched a bit about cuteness before, and a meme about a cute character (Ralsei) being taken as evil by some people made me ponder about it, so have my ramblings

there's some effects cuteness can have on people, and it's interesting

the common response is people find it cute and want to protect, care for, and/or cuddle, pet, give it affection in general

but there's also the cuteness aggression response: wanting to pinch it, bite it, etc — a theory is that it's related to the wish to protect: people want to protect it, so they get some sense of aggressiveness; i add that then, how there's usually no danger to fight against and they also want to give it affection, the aggressiveness + affection equation results in things like biting, really tight hugs, and so on

however, there's another, less likely but still possible, response: fear

when feeling cuteness, some people get afraid... usually it's because of a fear of the cuteness being a deception; they fear being hurt or taken advantage of, just because of finding something cute

they can get aggressive towards it too... and usually aggressiveness + fear isn't a good equation to have

but, there's also the even less likely specific fear of hurting it that some people might have — when they really know the cuteness is completely safe, but think they themselves might be a threat for some reason even if they actually are not (name your characters challenge [/silly])

anyways, that's what i found as i lived and when i researched about it a long time ago

I’m fairly new to the fandom, but I do have a question if you can answer it! Why do people ship Daigo with Aoki / Masato? I tried looking to see if they’ve interacted before, but couldn’t find anything! Sorry for asking I’m just </3 dumb AND I LOVE YOUR ART OF THEM!!! Nerd looking ahhhhhh

hi ! welcome to the community i hope you're having a lovely time so far and ty for enjoyin my stuff :) no need for apologies it's a very fair question to have :]

i cant speak for everyone (all. ten people into masadai anyway) but Personally To Me i just think the idea of them together is very funny. thats quite literally it im afraid..

heeeeeeey these meds are great actually. like i'm simultaneously mad/frustrated with all my old doctors and myself for never suggesting or seeking out mood stabilizers before. like i didn't remember this, but according to my records my old psychiatrist recommended 2 years of ECT without ever having given me a mood stabilizer to try. like. that's wild. it makes me so mad. just bc my diagnosis back then was major depression and cyclothymia, mood stabilizers were never considered but electroshock WAS...

but also, and more importantly, i'm just so THRILLED to have them now. like. i thought my brain was just broken beyond repair. and in a way it is, but that doesn't mean i can't do daily maintenance. i haven't felt this good since 2019. at least.

anyways the point is, if you have bipolar disorder or cyclothymia, maybe try taking a mood stabilizer BEFORE agreeing to ECT. even if you're young. no one explained to me that mood stabilizers (specifically anti-psychotic class ime, not anti-convulsant class or lithium) could help where anti depressants failed. I didn't even know I had a cyclothymia diagnosis until 3 months after I started ECT.

just because you've tried lots of anti depressants or anti anxiety meds, doesn't mean there aren't meds out there that can help you. do your own research. make sure you know all your diagnoses. get second and third opinions. ECT should always be a last resort for suicidal depression and/or bipolar patients. (obligatory "i cannot speak to ECT when used to treat epilepsy that's a totally different ball game")

you don't have to keep living like this. there are other options. it can and WILL get better even though it's not easy.

I saw a post on edblr that started off with, “let’s talk about why you binge: you miss the flavor.” There was way more too it but I kinda stopped there bc…that’s just totally not true for me.

I binge because “hungry” doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Yeah there are times where I’m able to ignore the hunger, but there are other times where it consumes me. The taste is a bonus but mostly I get to a point where I’m shaking, I feel physically weak but angry, and ALL I can think about is food.

I’ve been diagnosed with DID and there have been times in the past where an alter forces their way to the front just so they can take over and eat because my body feels like a car that is running on the last few drops of gas.

I’m not entirely sure if that’s what’s happening now (the meds I’m taking for a spinal injury make me a little spacey/loopy/unaware), but I’m trying to stick with an OMAD diet, but during that meal I consume enough for an entire day.

It *could* be my body fighting it’s way out of starvation mode bc for two months I wasn’t eating due to pain, and before I built a tolerance, my meds killed my appetite, but it feels like, by the end of every day, the only way to console myself is, “I can try again tomorrow.”

I think right now I need to focus on tiny healthy snacks (hard boiled egg whites, fruit, veggies) if the hunger gets to me before eating a big dinner. Progress will be way slower but it’s better than using alcohol to ward off the appetite until it suddenly hits and I binge on unhealthy food.

I won’t say I miss being in so much pain to eat, but…this is maddening. I feel like I’ll never reach my goal weight. I’ve been trying for four years now and it feels just as far away as when I started.

I hate this.

Bok Nu Ri powers speculation

So we know he got some version of his Dad’s past time travel and his Mom’s ability to enhance that power…

His seems much faster and more streamlined to me though?

Like he’s five….and he literally sees a picture and then goes and gets him within seconds….

His Dad’s power took time…his doesn’t seem to take any time in the present..and possibly moments in the past as well considering he wasn’t covered in dust or particular traumatized looking?

He just went and got his Dad like a five year old would and I find that beautiful not only because the powers are clearly morphing and evolving but because that’s what a power like that would need to be for a five year old.

It was so simple and pure. Because for him it is.

that's twice now I've woken up literally as the queue ran out of posts and managed to catch up.

Kinda funny, given that I woke up the first time, added to the queue, fell asleep, and then woke up immediately as the queue ended again. Lucky me.
