#can't really do too much to care for someone with allergies tbh

[pixelatedraindrops]

“Here Halara! I made you some of my coffee! Just like I did in Ginma! This will heal your body right up from your terrible cold!”

“I’m not sick Fubuki…it’s just allergies…”

Whew! I finally got this doodle done ;w; I have officially drawn all of the detectives of the Nocturnal Detective Agency at least once yay :3 I never thought I would tbh... x'D

I think Halara came out pretty good, but I think I could've done better on Fubuki ^^; This pose was complicated but once I got Halara to a nice pose, I had a bit of trouble with Fubuki x-x

Yet another ship I could kind of understand due to Fubuki's DLC.

How Halara suffered such an awful allergy attack? Lets just say that Fubuki took them to a cat cafe somewhere in Ginma...this was before she learned their deep dark secret. And Halara couldn't resist the cuteness so...they went anyway despite the penalty... x'D

Fubuki regrets it the minute Halara suffers a sneezing fit on the way back to base and has to lay down due to their head pounding from the sinuses. They end up not only with a runny nose and eyes, but they sadly got a few skin rashes too... yikes, the poor thing x-x; They make sure to have an extra sweet lollipop to help with their mood, as well as act as a substitute lozenge for their dry throat, some nasal spray for the stuffiness and an ice pack for their headache.

Fubuki tries to do whatever she can to help, even if the cause of it was her fault to begin with... xD And Halara cannot move much so...they just take whatever the ditzy time detective throws their way. Fubuki lovingly babysits the stuffy postcogditive detective while they recover.

This was my first time experimenting with allergies as an ailment so...I tried to read up on it before I drew so I could at least be accurate. Allergies isn't really the same thing as being ill. But it was still fun to draw it out :3

(tfw halara looks sicker than everyone else did... lmao improvement?)

Anyway, hope you enjoy this snack Clockmare Nation🩵🩷

heartslabyul boys with a dormmate (male) who is allergic to sugar, Like his allergy is terrible, if he consumes too much sugar he could end up dying, even if he eats little he gets an extremely irritated throat, so during birthday parties he just drinks tea or eats some fruit that was left on top of some cake or pie.

I ended up making this one gn because I noticed I didn't use any gendered terms lol

♤♡◇♧♤♡◇♧♤♡◇♧♤♡◇♧♤♡◇♧♤♡◇♧

Summary: Due to a rare health condition, consuming sugar can be extremely dangerous for you. To the tea party-loving Heartslabyul boys, this is something new.

Riddle/Trey/Ace/Deuce/Cater + gn!reader (SFW)

Riddle Rosehearts

• this boy would be VERY cautious

• like he'll make sure there isn't even any sugar near you

• he watches the more mischievous Heartslabyul boys closely so they won't accidentally slip you any sugar

• "Trey, please tell me there isn't any sugar in the tea?"

• feels a bit sad that you can't eat his favorite pies

• he kinda relates to not being able to eat sugar, though for different reasons (*cough* his mom *cough*)

Trey Clover

• he can't really make his standard desserts for the party with less sugar, so he makes an exclusive sugar-free dessert for you

• if you do accidentally eat sugar, he takes the best care of you

• he doesn't want you to just sit there during the Unbirthday Party while everyone else is having fun with the cakes, so making something for you was a must for him

• these desserts have actually become so popular with other Heartslabyul students that he now has to make them in higher quantities

• has definitely offered to make a cake that has oyster paste instead of sugar in it (ahem)

• the perfect mix of cautious and lighthearted

Ace Trappola

• has definitely tried to make you eat sugar before

• immediately stopped his attempts once you told him off

• helps Trey make the sugar-free desserts & sneaks out a few fruits for you

• has secretly googled your condition & done A LOT of research on it

• picking out snacks for your birthday usually ends up with Ace secretly calling Deuce and discussing sugar, too (see: Deuce)

• "Naww, Y/N! Such a pity that you can't have a bite of MINE! But... hehe, I can still have a piece of YOURS, right? Pleaaase?"

Deuce Spade

• he forgot it the second you told him for the first time or mixed it up with someone else

• has accidentally gifted you sugary snacks before (you luckily noticed) & got made fun of by Ace

• however, he has improved a lot and now pays extra attention

• when buying snacks for you, he has semi-aggressive phone calls with Ace ("You think I can buy this?" — "Dude, are ya crazy! Too much sugar for sure!")

• somehow doesn't trust anyone around you & always keeps a few dessert toppings for you

• helps Trey make the sugar-free desserts for you

Cater Diamond

• like Ace, he has definitely googled your condition, but he did it the very second you told him

• didn't have any strong feelings on it as he dislikes sugary sweets and could go his whole life without much sugar

• actually grew to like Trey's exclusive sugar-free desserts

• he honestly doesn't care about it tbh (unless you've accidentally had sugar and are having complications because of it)

• he DOES gift you really healthy sugar-free snacks regularly

• "Heeyy Y/N! Look here, Vil advertised these on his Magicam and I HAD to buy them! Wanna have one?"

Eyyyyy U/mbrella Ac/ademy!

I was rly rly into it for a while and left off somewhere in early/mid season 3 iirc, but I was down absolutely horrendous for B/en in particular lol. How many times do you wanna bet B/en warned K/laus about being out in the rain, making out with someone who obviously has a cold, exposing himself to some allergen, etc. and ended up having to say “I told you so” while being Very Worried but also Very Incorporeal and unable to help as much as he’d like to? Could also always pull the classic “ghost can induce people by phasing their fingertip through their nose” or similar vibes, especially w K/laus since he’s more connected to spirits?

I need an excuse for Be/n to snz, but all I’ve rly got to offer are a) corporeal due to Kl/aus b) possession and it’s a rly strange, but interesting sensation to him, honestly maybe him taking over Kl/aus’s body when he’s sick to make sure he takes care of himself and poor sick bby can just mentally clock out while resident ghost is Thriving c) we really pull some shenanigans with ghost worldbuilding, like being affected by ghost dogs or smth lmao

Kl/aus drunk and sick, my beloved tbh. I could also rly vibe with a dust or pollen allergy for him tbh. Absolute drama queen when sick or allergic though. But at the same time is very “I’ve survived worse, it’s fiiiine.” Stuck sneezes and false starts a lot?

I think there’s potential for A/llison’s rumors too, like could she rumor people into stopping a rly long/intense fit? Or out of being sick altogether depending on how advanced her powers are at the time? I feel like she would absolutely hate having a bad sore throat or losing her voice, since that’s such a source of strength for her. Honestly, she modeled and things too—probably also doesn’t like looking too disheveled, especially in public?

Luth/er being awkwardly a lil too big and bulky for tissues to some degree, especially since they’re so fragile to begin with, never mind his strength. Huddled up uncomfortably in a motel bed too small for him. Extra uncoordinated and unbalanced and trying to not knock into things or people bc he’s a gentle giant.

Brain’s a lil too half asleep atm to cook any potential pitches for the other three, despite them being some of my favorites lmao, but I do think fever nightmares are good all around, these guys are absolutely stacked with trauma fhsjdhsjsbbs and they’re in such need of good caretaking omg

Rosie! I'm so pleased to share another fandom with you! Thank you so much for sending this I am so desperate to talk to people about unbrella snz.

Ben is so cute. I'd love for him to have a cold (he's alive now for reasons idc) and just be tired and sniffley and not wanting to bother anyone but it's such a sneezy cold that he can't hide it. Gets fussed over by the others. He just deserves nice things.

Or maybe he comes back to life and everything is new again including sneezing. Maybe he even thinks it feels good to sneeze, satisfying and relieving, and develops a kink for it.

Also Luthor just struggling because he's so big and strong. Tissues are useless, especially because when he doesn't try to stifle his sneezes are big and messy. He's so embarrassed and always apologizing. Someone(s) gives him a bunch of handkerchiefs and he so grateful for something better than tissues that isn't a hand towel.

All your hcs are great

Sewerslide tw under the cut but I need to vent

This year has been a trainwreck so far. My aunt died. Someone I used to be really close with and still cared about died. I had a couple meltdowns. I've been rapid cycling. I lost weeks of my life. I bought a car. I got triggered and quit my REALLY good job with only $500 in my bank account (bc I spent all my money on dumb shit during hypomanic episodes), I paid my drug dealer's $400 electric bill on a whim on the promise that she'd "get me back" when I know she fucking won't. I can't find a job (I mean it's only been 5 days since I quit, but I never don't have a job so it feels like 5 years). The rational part of me knows that it usually takes more than 5 days to find a new job, but I also can't help but think that my former job is sabotaging me telling people I walked out even though it's food service and everything I've applied to is food service and unless it's high end fuck if they check references or call up your old job.

I'm too scared to tell my parents. I still owe my dad $650 and he doesn't know that I sold the car he paid cash for 3 years ago or that I quit my job. I told my mom about the car but she and my step dad essentially mocked my episode and acted like I was using it as an excuse to "treat myself".

I'm so fucked. I'm so fucked. I wanna slit my wrists but I'm always really bad at it do any lethal damage. I can only ever hit styro at the worst and then I usually pass out since I'm drunk while doing it. But right now...I've been drinking. I haven't eaten and I've been drinking a lot. I don't have any oxy, and I know from the past that my tolerance is too high for alcohol and oxy to work. But I have a BUNCH of nausea meds that are actually promethazine. I feel like if I took them while still drinking I could just...go to sleep. And with any luck, I wouldn't have any problems anymore. I wouldn't be mentally ill anymore.

But I never have any luck. I'm too much of a coward and I never do it right. Even when I could so easily make it look like an accident. With all my allergies? Maybe I accidentally ate or drank something I'm allergic to and tried to just sleep it off? It wouldn't be so far-fetched, it's definitely something I would do.

But again, I'm too much of a coward.

Who would take care of my cat? She's 10 years old and I've had her since she was 11 weeks old. Tbh I'm not sure how much I really care about how my family would feel, but no one knows how to take care of my cat like I do. And I'm not fucked up enough to let anything happen to her.

[avengerscompound]

The Pepper/Tony strawberry thing makes me so sad, because i recognize a lot of ADD traits I also have within him like

Yes she's allergic to strawberries, so much it's her ONLY allergy and by getting her a whole tray of them, it seems on the surface that he just doesn't care about her.

But to me that scene is a lot more about someone who suffers with SEVERELY disorganised thoughts and memories knowing SOMETHING very important about Pepper and strawberries, he can't remember what it is but the two things are very firmly related in his head so he thinks "it must be her favourite food, I'm going to try and apologise by showing up with LOTS of her favourite food!"

only up be reminded that the reason his brain was so insistent on pepper and strawberry with multiple explaination marks, was because they're the only thing that could kill her allergy wise

Oh, I totally agree.  Like I can 100% see things from both points of view, and I shall preface this by saying, I love Pepperony.  I love that they ended up on the same page, but for soooooo long we just keep seeing them not being on the same page and it really breaks my heart, because they do really love each other, but they just keep completely missing being in the same place mentally at the same time.  And that is a rough spot to be in.

And there is so much going on in that scene too.  He’s literally dying.  He’s come to tell her that.  He’s not thinking straight.  She’s already brushed him off when he tried to tell her.  And then he goes ‘okay strawberries are important and there’s a guy selling some, so maybe these will make her happy and he just missed the mark so much. 

But from Pepper’s point of view, she has no idea of any of that.  She’s been thrust into this stressful job, her boyfriend is acting erratically but hasn’t verbalized why and he’s shown up once again while she’s under pressure with the only food she’s allergic to.  I’d also be kinda pissed about that too, tbh.

It’s good they got there in the end though.  It’s bad they then took that away just when they did.

[cuntess-carmilla]

When you're someone who can't remember ever not being tired due to exertion it gets more confusing tbh. Especially because being overworked and overstressed can develop into legitimate, tangible chronic illness or otherwise physical disability in a huge variety of ways; long-term tissue damage that ends up developing into hypermobility, dysfunction in the autonomic nervous system from substained stress, exposure to chemicals or pathogens, injuries and more.

The issue is never with people wondering if they may be struggling with chronic fatigue. That's actually something people should do much more often! They just should do it being properly informed and hopefully guided by someone who knows enough about the subject.

In my opinion, when the source of someone's fatigue isn't clear (as in it being situational vs chronic) the person, a professional or at least someone close to the person such as a caretaker or partner, should take note if there's any other symptoms besides the exhaustion (an extra eye that engages the person in good faith is always good to have because chronically ill people are infamously terrible at recognizing that our dysfunctions are Not Normal).

Chronic fatigue doesn't really come alone (that I know of), not even in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (neuroimmune disorder, basically), it's simply one of the most glaring symptoms of the illnesses that carry it because it's one of the most immediately disabling ones. In my case, besides the chronic fatigue, I struggle with tachycardia and dizziness after minimal exertion, autoimmune issues, joint instability and chronic pain of the inflammatory, migraine and dislocation types.

Now, like I said, chronically ill people are infamously terrible at realizing that our dysfunctions aren't normal. I used to think colds and the flu were just the respiratory symptoms because I already feel Like That minus the respiratory symptoms every single day, so whenever I get sick with those the snot, sore throat and cough are the only differences I ever noticed. I found out at age 29 that Actually, a cold or the flu generally cause able-bodied people fatigue and generalized pain.

That to say, that people should be on the lookout for things that they may just consider to be mild annoyances in how their bodies function and ask around, "Is It Normal?"; food allergies, being abnormally allergic to anything in general both in the sense of Too Many Allergies and Wow That's A Really Weird/Unpredictable Allergy, sensing cold/heat in weird ways (disproportionate intensity, opposite sensation, etc), body heat dysregulation, any sort of pain that doesn't have an obvious source such as Broke A Bone/Stubbed My Toe/Got Cut, changes in weight both up or down, sensory alterations (light sensitivity, sound sensitivity/aversion, visual distrubances, etc), constantly cracking joints, tissue fragility (easy bruising, easy scarring, excessive bleeding, etc), abnormal periods, and so on.

Finding any odd symptoms besides the fatigue won't give you an immediate diagnosis, but it can get you on your path to find an appropriate one, or to at least realize that there's something Wrong besides just being tired.

The other thing is that chronic fatigue is impossible to push through, at least without a great cost that tends to pile up the more we overdo it. Overworked but able-bodied people can "make" more energy even as they make use of their reserves (more or less efficiently depending on how damaged their health is by exhaustion and poor self-care), but we plain can't no matter the circumstance. We hit a stumbling block and that's it. Running on desperate fumes, if not out of commission entirely.

Some of us are obvious in that we straight up pass out, fall asleep against our will in the middle of a party we were sincerely enjoying, or become incoherent or temporarily paralyzed, or get massive screaming migraines. Some of us instead look like we're just "lazy"; our bodies say NOPE, we simply can't keep doing whatever it is we were doing anymore and either have to sit down and nap, or we stay awake doing low energy activities such as doomscrolling or watching media that requires low cognitive engagement. But even those people it's not that they decide to stop, their bodies just can't keep going.

I'm seeing people use the term "chronic fatigue" incorrectly all of a sudden lately. Granted, I've only seen it on Twitter, but I still want to talk about it here. If you're using the term improperly, I'd like it if you'd stop and inform yourself on the subject.

Chronic fatigue is not just being very tired, in case you're not aware. It disables you and comes with cognitive dysfunction (persistent state of confusion, inability to focus, inability to process new information or articulate your thoughts, poor memory, and more).

Chronic fatigue especially ISN'T being tired due to punctual external reasons that'd tire any person without a preexisting condition and it DOESN'T go away with proper rest. Proper rest simply avoids worsening it, and even that can fail, seeing as obtaining proper rest when you have chronic fatigue ranges from very difficult to Not Happening.

Not everyone's chronic fatigue is equally disabling, some people can lead a "normal" life at a great cost (and risk of permanently making it worse) while others are bedridden, but it's not a tiredness caused by a factor that if you remove it, will fix it, unless of course you find effective MEDICAL TREATMENT that makes it go away AS LONG AS YOU KEEP TO YOUR MEDICAL TREATMENT, or get a specific SURGERY in case yours comes from tethered (spinal) cord and/or CCI. This surgery consists on fusing some of the vertebrae of your neck permanently, by the way.

Some conditions that cause chronic fatigue; your brain being deprived of enough oxygenated blood (orthostatic intolerance, anemia, hypotension), your immune system attacking your own body (autoimmunity), metabolic issues on a CELLULAR level (ME/CFS), gastrointestinal issues, chronic pain, and a long, long etcetera. Mine comes from a combination of a genetic mutation that makes ALL my organs function poorly, orthostatic intolerance and autoimmunity.

It's a disabling condition nearly impossible to combat and even more impossible to push through. I've been trying to treat mine for 3 years, researching and trying new things non-stop for 3 years, and I'm still housebound and unable to work.

Please, I beg you, don't trivialize the term "chronic fatigue". The medical establishment and society at large already don't take it seriously, believe it can be cured by positive thinking/CBT or exercise, or believe it's a myth to justify laziness.

Please, don't turn "chronic fatigue" into the next "gaslighting" or "emotional labor". The harm that'd cause to the disabled/chronically ill community would be unmeassurable. We deal with enough disbelief and lack of care as is.

indigenous day!

Good morning! This is the first time I am waking up at 5. I sort of enjoy waking up this early it's in the middle of being a midnight junkie and an early bird. I'm not gonna lie, my body does not like being up this fucking early, but this is my challenge for the rest of the week. My mind likes it and is still waking up. I want to make coffee. You know your girl does not eat or breathe coffee. It's still early, I don't care. My true self comes from writing this shit out. I want to eventually incorporate comedy eventually in my work. Tumblr is usually my output. Or is it called that? Input? I take angy out is what I am trying to say. I almost didn't want to wake up. I almost considered waking up at 6 which is in 6 minutes. I am still yawning. I drank almost a whole bottle already compared to yesterday when I couldn't really drink any. I hope that is a good thing. If I had a treadmill or a gym in my room, I think I would be walking on it right now to wake me up cuz at work that's what I do.

Anyways, indigenous day. HAPPY MF INDIGENOUS DAY! Honestly, I am happy for the steps our people are taking. It was just last year, I believe, when they had it start being that instead of that other name. You know, before he inflated our shit. I'm not political, but I'm just throwing anything around. I really really hope my blogs do not affect any part of my being towards the near future because I CAN be very blunt with things especially when I know I am a nobody. I just bring in bypass and kiss my bf watching Netflix and fucking.. pls don't :)) don't cancel me. It got close with job corps tbh that is another story to talk about in the future. Fucking hell man. The one thing I hate more than sugar killing teeth or whatever, is sneezing. Fuck allergies man. I can't even think right now. This is too damn early for a body whose mind thought "itch me violently" the night before. I'm still learning so I think many shit are interesting. Do I think indigenous day was a good thing? Absolutely fucking yes, but I think they used that shit to pacify things that were going to get worse especially Alaskans was that inflation. This gave 9/11 vibes. Not exactly the same, but I don't matter so throw that shit in the rest of the conspiracy pile like the rest of my damn blogs. It makes me wonder what our, YES OUR, principal in the local school has planned for today. I was told she was supposed to be gone yet is still lingering around. Hire me dammit. Do you know how nice it sounds to work at the school right now? Summers off, yes baby. I'm happy for OGs.

I've been avoiding speaking my own language. Not sure if I should talk about it on tumblr. It sounds more like a book content cuz it has so much things to cover than on a damn blog. Fucking bullies man. That's all I have to say. I might start cooking my shit, it's been almost an hour since I started writing this. It's not the best work but what is when you're used to waking up this hour thinking about how cold I am right now that is keeping my eyes from shutting and how I'm gonna have to pee soon and how fucking.. I need to eat and am thinking of making breakfast quesadilla. I'm sorry :)) GEE EM <3 tumblr has all of my shit posts ask her. Think I found my new title lol

this is me after fkn posting this sad shit: I'm sorry :)) this is a half assed writing. This is what I don't like about forced writing. My neck hurts, this keyboard sucks from using mac almost all my life. Life sucks is what I should post from how dirty I feel. Meh. I think I am just.. shy? It's always been me. It's fucking me. Writing by myself has been what I am yet since I posted that I do post on my tumblr, the anxious feeling of having someone read my shit is just absolutely fucking terrifying because as a fellow Capricorn, I do not take criticism easily. My mind automatically thinks FAILURE. I'm hungry now, so.. I'll talk more tomorrow.. hopefully :)) tumblr was and always a part of what takes my anger out and using it as like a daily vlog is almost crucial to me but I do my best to bring out vibes. ok ;)) gm.
