#being overstimulated

[ididntknowwhattocallthis]

I want to do nothing but I also need to do something but sound and words are bad and so are bright colors and movement

[borderlesbian]

me fighting the urge to be such a bitch to someone bc i'm overstimulated and anxious

[clownoverrat]

"please learn about my disorder so you understand why I react the way I do" and "my disorder is not an excuse to be an asshole" should co-exist and people should understand the difference

disillusionment

[titan-god-helios]

bitches be like "oh i don't get sensory overload" and then nearly scream and smash their phone into the ground because their little cousin wanted to play roblox and they really like their little cousin and adore her so much but this time the fact that she is constantly talking and her voice grates ever so slightly on the ears and that she's very loud and bubbly and that she's singing and talking and there's music from the game blasting through her tablet as well and cooking noises and smells in the background from their mum and their sister who is also a darling keeps putting her fucking arm on theirs and they can feel their clothes and skin and its also hot and they're also expected to talk and play and be high energy and they just cant fucking take it so wind up ranting on tumblr about it whilst also wishing never to interact with a human ever again.

its me, i'm bitches <333

We went to the Tennessee Renaissance Festival today and I got to hang out with my friends Quincy's Tavern and Holly Auna IRL and it was SO wonderful.

I still only could handle about 2 hours of the crowds before needing to go home to the Hobbit Hole to recover from the overstimulation.

But we met some wonderful people and drank lemonade and talked as friends do.

I'm so lucky I have friends (and a SUPER supportive wife) who understand my limitations and love me for who I am.

Sending Big Hugs from the Hobbit Hole. ♥♥♥

So let’s go through this one-by-one, shall we?

Red Guy

Flat affect in voice, not very expressive 

Or from the perspective of other Red Guy, he is far too expressive and tend to smile at inappropriate situations

Express emotions either ‘too little’ or ‘too much’ in terms of volume, very little in-between

Speaks very bluntly 

Feels physically uncomfortable with bright colors

"Well, this isn't that fun, is it? can't make out where I am in the room like this. What if I'm standing in an embarrassing area?" "I actually don't mind it. Kind of a nice break from all of those... garish colors"

Duck

Loves cataloging and organizing things as a recreational activity

Anthropomorphise inanimate objects (like ACTUALLY inanimate, not teachers)

"You have to jab it hard or it won't respect your choices!"

Has a hard time fitting in in ‘normative’ social groups

Odd sensory sensitivities

"You're supposed to say that the floor is too loud or the window is disrespecting you"

Yellow Guy

Relies on a heavy amount of social mimicry in unfamiliar social situations

"I'm making bits and parts, although sometimes I feel a bit like the bits and parts are, eh, making me."

Tends to understand metaphors and turns of phrases very literally

Which is actually a trait that he displays even in his hyper-intelligent ‘Charged’ mode

"Oh there he is, it's about time." "Yeah, what have you been doing?" "Um, okay, let me see... We were learning about electricity... I completed a crossword puzzle..."

Who is also very sensitive to sounds when two or more people are speaking at once

He also seems to have ‘clumsy’ motor functions in both ‘forms’

In conclusion:

Me? I am machete ear fan number 1. Those ears probably would be fun to fiddle with and scratch. Short periods tho, I dunno if M would get overstimmed easily

Time to get overstimmed.

You’re ok with people stimming in theory but are you ok with people stimming without using fidget toys? If you found out someone bites their nails, destroys their cuticles, peels the skin off their lips, picks at their scalp, picks their nose, would you think that’s gross? Even if you never see it and you know they wash their hands? Can you accept people stimming in ways that are very noticeable? People who make a lot of noises no matter how hard they try to be quiet, people who need constant movement no matter how hard they try to sit still, people whose stims draw attention even when they’re trying to be discrete? What about people who use fidget toys but draw attention anyway?

Are you ok with all of that or do you start to feel like those people need to practice self control? Deep down, do you not consider that real stimming because you know some people can stim in ways that are quiet, discrete, socially acceptable ?

Just something to consider when unlearning internalized ableism

me bc I get overstimulated every two seconds 🎀

[pfhwrittes]

gaz doesn't understand how you'd not want a moment of peace and quiet when coming home. how can he? when home to him is being fussed over by his mums and sisters endlessly.

when home to gaz is extra servings on his plate and trying to keep up with conversations in between bites.

home to gaz is being smothered with so much well-meaning affection and pulled into hugs that tweak his back, neck and shoulders over and over.

home to gaz is having his sisters shove their phones in his face and taking pictures with heart eyes filters. or having stray hands smooth over his hair and telling him that he needs a trim.

home to gaz is his sister hammering on the door to the bathroom because you've been in there forever kyle! when he just needs a minute to breathe in and out.

If you start crying while Aki is eating you out he gives your hand a reassuring squeeze and mumbles “You’re okay.” And you know he’s right. You’re safe with him and he’s there to take care of you.

more post session brainworms of the cowboy, things have not in fact gotten better and he's in fact more tired then he's ever been every single week <3 now with added trauma triggering!

Virgil Lawrence | He/Him | 212 Years Old | Ex-Sabbat Brujah Vampire

Session/Image Context below:

finally got his coterie mate's crazy tremere ex dead and gone, and then had to listen to a baby sabbat brujah's entire life and family collapse around her. also he got a new knife for free (by being stabbed)!

PoV you're the Boston Prince (who totally deserved this) and have been in office 100 years after your predecessor was also killed by being thrown off a building by the same cowboy.

PoV you're a coterie member who pissed off the already EXTREMELY on edge and furious brujah by rebuking his attempts to suicide bait you and he just drew his 10+ pool revolver.

damn hard to stay keeping it together when you see and hear the ghosts of your kindred loved ones all around you all the time and in the words spoken by those around you, without anyone meaning to do it
