My friends and I were all doctors in House M.D. and the only obvious symptom was that the patient had no face or head. Just like. A void.

drew a lil comic for probably my favorite shinkami scene ever from the fic Sunflower | Lilac by altering. This fic is AMAZING and if you are a fan of shinkami you must read it immediately!

I think when people think of mental illness and what helps, especially with things like anxiety and depression, the treatment involves pushing yourself. Pushing yourself to get out of bed, to exercise, to take a shower, to go out in public, to order your own food from the cashier, etc.

And because the mental health movement has grown so much, people think that's the default of ALL illnesses. That the only way someone will get better is if they push themselves. That practice makes perfect. That you'll become more comfortable or strong over time the more you do something.

But what people need to realize is, with physical disabilities and chronic illnesses, pushing yourself in most cases is DETRIMENTAL. Pushing yourself past your limits can lead to flare ups or further injury. That's why it's important to know your limits, how certain activities may affect your condition, and learn how to either adapt or get help to complete the activity in question.

Also, most of us are already pushing ourselves. Most of us don't have access to the help or equipment we need. Most of us live in places where we frequently encounter inaccessible obstacles. Most of us NEED to rest.

So please don't try to be our physical therapists or doctors. There are people specifically trained to help us navigate our own conditions and limitations. There are people trained to help us strengthen our body's resilience without causing flare-ups or injury. Do not tell us "it'll be good for you" or "you need the exercise" when we say something is too heavy or too far or when we say we need our mobility aid(s). Your friend with depression may need to be encouraged to get out of bed, but your friend with chronic illness definitely doesn't.

Respect our rest.

Thinking about vampirism in D&D again... Considering the tadpole shut down most of the abilities Astarion's just taken for granted for about 200 years, as discussed by him and Shadowheart:

3. Astarion: It's a long time since I was in a house of healing. Gods, it's depressing.

0. Shadowheart: I suppose you don't have much use for hospitals... unless you're seeking to steal their blood stock.

2. Astarion: True, although I don't heal as fast as I used to. The one downside to the tadpole, I suppose.

1. Shadowheart: The one downside? I think you might have stopped the count too soon... End

Well, Astarion is probably used to watching his injuries start closing up the moment he gets them. This whole thing where wounds just stay open, potentially kill you and hurt all day is a new one. I wonder if he worked out his regeneration was nullified before he got himself severely injured... His assessment of damage might be a bit out of practice.

There's also the fact that vampires have supernaturally boosted physical capabilities; the default vampire spawn strength score is more along the lines of 16.

While I am attached to Astarion's horrible noodly score of 8, the concept of him absentmindedly trying to lift things far too heavy for him without vampirism giving him an edge is funny (and honestly could very well tie in to discovering the lack of regeneration when he hurts himself). His reflexes are still good, but they would've been better so he probably finds himself quite clumsy.

His senses of sight, hearing and smell might've gotten duller too (if he complains about this nobody is going to have sympathy - he's an elf, he has the sharpest senses by default). His sense of touch, on the other hand, might've been restored (it's duller for the undead). You know what will make Astarion's already charming attitude [affectionate-and-derogatory] better? Overstimulation.

And after he adjusts the tadpole is removed, and it's back to the adjustment period.

Hello!! Forgive me for asking a question at this time, but I'm terribly interested.

Is Mychael tactile? I mean... If MC just hugs him out of the blue, what will his reaction be? Will he like it, or, on the contrary, will it cause hostility and discomfort? I just noticed that the only times we even relatively hug him in the game are the ending "Play Pretend" and the end of the second day.

Thanks in advance for your answer!!! <3

,,, tbh I wouldn't even count those as hugs hahaha. He pretty much grabbed you in those scenarios, I guess he's just an impulsively grabby person in general 💔

I think I've mentioned before he's okay with touches, but he might not react well to intense physical affection. This definitely changes the closer you are to him, though!

And don't worry, I'm happy to say you'll be able to give him a platonic squeeze in Day 3 ::-)!

keep seeing shit about the new ts album & mental illness and i am so so tired. please be nice to actually "crazy" people if ur gonna use us for the aesthetic. i'm not schizophrenic cause it's cute. don't joke about asylums if u haven't had those experiences (and even some of y'all who have been treat it like a vacation & to the rest of us it's prison. i mean literally. prison. incarceration. that's not new shit. and yeah, i'm that "actually crazy" person screaming in the ward. ur not any better than me.)

idk i keep posting and deleting about this cause i can't get my thoughts out properly i just. i'm tired. there was already a worsening problem of "socially acceptable" mental illness pushing out the rest of us (as it's always been) and now there's the top artist in the united states calling herself crazy, saying you should be scared of her, she was raised in an asylum, etc. and it's like.... that's my lived experience. medical doctors refuse to treat me because they're scared of my psychiatric disorders. i've had the cops called on me for episodes. i spent a decade rotting in the mental health system & institutions and i only got out after years of planning how to get away. and so much more i cant even put into words.

and now not only are y'all using folk like me & our experiences for the aesthetic. you're not even a decent human being to those of us who have actually lived through this shit. idk man. really rubs me the wrong way.

you're my problem. your comfort level. you're-you're not supposed to just walk in here like you've been here for years.

[ID: 7 gifs of Evan Buckley and Eddie Diaz in 2.01, on the call where a guy gets inflated with air. Buck is poised to puncture his chest wall to let the air out before Eddie stops him.

GIF 1: An overhead shot of Eddie reaching out to stop Buck from poking the needle into the man's chest, saying "I'd go lower."

GIF 2: Buck looking up with a confused, humorless smile as he says, "What? Um, no. Second intercostal space, midclavicular line." Chimney stands behind them with his hands propped on his hips, brow furrowed.

GIF 3: Eddie calmly explaining, "The chest wall is thinner at the fifth intercostal" as he looks at Buck.

GIF 4: A shot of Buck peering up at Eddie incredulously while Eddie continues with his explanation, "at the anterior axillary line. There's a decreased chance of injuring any vital organs." Bobby's gaze bounces between Buck and Eddie where he's leaning forward with his hands on his knees.

GIF 5: Eddie turning towards Bobby as he tells him, "I've-I've treated guys with collapsed lungs in combat."

GIF 6: Bobby telling Eddie, "Do it" with a minimal nod before his gaze shifts towards Buck. Eddie looks back at Buck, gesturing for him to give him the needle.

GIF 7: Buck staring off beyond Eddie as he passes the needle to him, sitting back on his heels with an annoyed look.

bonus:

[bonus ID: Eddie putting equipment away in the truck; Buck walks up behind him to parrot Bobby's words, "Yeah. Good call." He's fidgeting with his shirt and belt as he stalks off. Eddie looks after him with a contemplative, mildly annoyed expression. /end ID]
