#car wreck tw

[lawrencespen1777]

One of my absolute favorite whumps is when something terrible happens to a character (injury, illness, trauma, etc.) and all they want is their caretaker, but no one can reach them because their phone died or they’re in a conference or something so when they get their phone there’s a hundred texts saying “Where are you??” “Something’s happened.” “There’s been an accident.” “(Whumpee) was taken to the hospital. Call me.” Bonus if caretaker is out of town and has to travel a while worried before they can see them.

Car wreck on the interstate today! Walked away with some scuffs and bumps, and a fat lip from the airbag. My car? Possibly totalled.

So how was your day?

hiya, i'm jiji. moon is a character that i'm excited to write and i think he will fit well here! i wanted to preface this with a little warning that i do graze over some sensitive topics so please check the tags! i tried to give moon some dimension but hopefully, i didn't do too much. this was so stressful so i'm glad it's over, bffls.

%THE BARE BONES:\\

{ JIJI, 18+, EST, THEY/HE } —— look who’s joining the infinite tour! only MINKI 'MOON' MYEONG, who is the PHOTOGRAPHER. i’ve heard whispers that the 22 year old is pretty CONSIDERATE but lowkey ANXIOUS. also, doesn’t/don’t he/they remind you of LEE FELIX?

%RANDOM HEADCANONS:\\

minki was born in the city of montreal to their single mother, minju myeong, and lived with her briefly. their mother struggled with addiction off and on throughout their life so their grandparents (eunji + minseok) took over custody when they were just a baby. since they were born in canada to an immigrant family, they have been learning english and french and korean since birth, basically.

minki grew up modestly, their grandparents being first-generation immigrants who owned a convenience store downtown; his grandmother ran the front counter while his grandfather filed things away on an old 00's windows desktop in the back office. they remember playing games on their nintendo in the stockrooms in attempts to pass the time faster when they were a child.

if you asked minki what the word home reminds them of, they'd say the smell of baked sweets and the comfort of being tucked in at night. their grandparents protected them well in the early years, distracting them from the inconsistency of their mother by spoiling them with affection and quality time.

school also distracted him, moon was naturally intelligent and enjoyed learning; often getting lost in the pages of his textbooks. his imagination seems to be one of his best traits, to this day, as he's always been able to escape into the universe that many media create. such as songs, movies and novels. his grandparents were definitely the ones to have a 'guardian of a gifted child' bumper sticker on their old 90's minivan.

if you asked baby minki what they wanted to be when they grew up, they would answer and say that they wanted to be a professional dancer. this love for dancing came from their grandmother as she started training them young in traditional korean dance and the piano. unfortunately, halfway through junior high, minki was in an intense car wreck that caused a spinal injury; leaving them with weakness in their legs.

the next few years? were hard for minki. the gravity of their mother's substance use disorder finally sunk in and they lost their biggest outlet - dance - to their sudden disability.

since we're in the sadder and darker bit, i want to add that they struggle with depression, anxiety and gender dysphoria. this started early on but they still struggle with this and are currently undergoing treatment to help symptoms.

his grandparents fought and pieced him back together. he owes his life to them tbh. anyways, minki began spending more time at home after his injury and grew even closer to them; taking up their hobbies of baking and photography. minseok (harabeoji) and him spent a lot of time in his office, sorting through photo albums full of familial and nature shots his grandfather had taken over the years; opening his eyes to the wonder and beauty that photography possessed. this is probably around his early high school years.

minki is nonbinary, they usually go by masculine pronouns and the neopronouns they/them.

moon went to college on a scholarship and majored in photography, minoring in graphic design. if i did the math right then it's been like a year since they graduated. i'm thinking they were hired soon after the merge so they aren't really phased by it; no beef here.

socially, i see minki as being friendly but not overly so or too energetic unless they are comfortable with the person. they can be reserved to an extent around strangers and acquaintances. moon's personality is definitely funny, obsessive, curious, anxious, considerate, picky, imaginative, stubborn, free-spirited, forgetful, empathetic, fawning, sarcastic and affectionate.

I always forget how shaken up car wrecks make me until I get into one like last night 😭😐

[a-scary-lack-of-common-sense]

Wreck it Ralph fanart?? In 2024? More likely than you think....

I get way too insane about kids' movies, and I've been on a nostalgia binge watch lately, so here's a villain/hero swap AU

Does anyone even remember this movie??

[pancakeke]

hmm would this dome be strong enough to support the weight of my heaviest cat or would it be too dangerous to install this thing in one of their shelves. let's check the reviews for more info.

oh fuck what. well at least this guy proved that it's really strong...

[one-time-i-dreamt]

I was in a car wreck and called out sick from work after getting back home. Also, I was pregnant and I had 5 cats for some reason. And a huge house. I can't stress enough how much room I had.

Vampire Academy Book 1 by Richelle Meade

Illustration of the accident before the series:

Excerpt from Chapter 1:

I felt her fear before I heard her screams.

Her nightmare pulsed into me, shaking me out of my own dream, which had something to do with a beach and some hot guy rubbing suntan oil on me. Images -- hers, not mine -- tumbled through my mind: fire and blood, the smell of smoke, the twisted metal of a car. The pictures wrapped around me, suffocating me, until some rational part of my brain reminded me that this wasn't my dream.

Excerpt from Chapter 22:

"Not that hurt?" he laughed. "I'm not talking about her ankle, which was still impressive. I'm talking about the car accident. Because you're right, you know. Rose didn't get 'that hurt.' She died."

He let the words sink in.

"That's... no. She lived," Lissa finally managed.

"No. Well, yes, she did. But I read the reports. There was no way she should have survived - especially with so many injuries. You healed her. You brought her back."

Today is 12 weeks - 3 months.

3 Months since my grandma passed away. I thought it was a bit odd I was feeling so inexplicably weepy earlier...now I understand.

I miss her every day, and think about her constantly. I wear one of her necklaces (never take it off) and it brings me comfort to fiddle with the charm. My engagement ring was her great grandmother's, passed down and passed down. It brings me comfort as well.

But the fact that I can't just pick up the phone and call her kills me. The fact that I don't get to hear her silly jokes or her warm encouragement anymore kills me. Not being able to jump in the car and drive 1.5 hours just to hang out for the day doing nothing but puzzles and crosswords...

God, the way I would give anything to be able to do that again. I miss my best friend so much. I just want her back.

All I can hope is that she's found some peace and she's not in pain anymore.

personal, suicide mention

honestly reaching a point where every time the brain demons come for me to tell me that its clear my father thinks im a burden and a useless waste of space and that maybe i should just remove myself from the equation, i have to remind the brain demons that now we've had a taste of freedom (aka a sight of a future where hes barely in my life) that they aren't fucking allowed to take me there. but sometimes they sure have awful sweet fucking voices anyhow

thankfully, my spite is stronger than them

Abwisbwisnwiw not me back with another medical question but you mention Bash having a few different medical conditions (that mean Wolfwood doesn’t smoke around him, causes fainting spells and that effects his diet,,,, is it too obvious I’m binging your college AU haienskszbwksns)

I was wondering if you had specific diagnoses in mind?? If you’ve already mentioned this and I’ve just missed it I apologise!! I genuinely adore your AU writing and your Pinterest board for College Vash is so on point for him, it’s adorable!!

Vash’s medical conditions/chronic illnesses/autoimmune disorders

I’m so glad you like my college au! I’ve been thinking of some diagnoses for him and I’m probably going to add onto this more, but here’s what my brain has conjured up for now! (I definitely didn’t project into these at all cough cough)

PS: if anyone has these disorders/diseases/conditions and wants to add onto these, I’d love that! Please feel free to correct me, I cite the resources I used to research these but if anything is inaccurate lmk!

Keep in mind that Vash had a lot of health issues before the car accident w/ Rem, so some of these he just naturally developed while others are now present because of the accident^^

TW: mentions of car accidents, mentions of depression, medical talk (duh)

TAGS: @macncherries @h4venpha @lune010 @vashfantasy @millionsvash

POTS (Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome)

 “Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a condition that causes a number of symptoms when you transition from lying down to standing up, such as a fast heart rate, dizziness and fatigue. While there’s no cure, several treatments and lifestyle changes can help manage the symptoms of POTS.”

Vash has to keep a snack cart in his room (that he drags around) and salty stuff on him all the time since salt can help w/ some of the tremors and shakes

He’s fainted a couple times- almost hit his head on the coffee table a number of times. Nai’s pushed back the table a number of times to Vash’s complaint (because he wants to rest his feet on the table when he sits), but is reminded that between the choice of footrest and potential concussion, he should make the wise choice.

I also think he’s had to deal with several other complications due to this + high blood pressure (he has to check his blood pressure regularly)

Loss of arm/amputation

Vash lost his arm in the car accident w/ Rem, leading to the money they’d inherited from Rem mainly going towards his arm. Vash feels incredibly guilty about that still, so he does his best to take care of it (sometimes he treats his prosthetic a bit better than the rest of him)

Whenever he takes it off for the night he settles it by his glasses on his nightstand.

Suffers from body dysmorphia a bit when his arm is gone. Waking up without it terrified him for awhile.

Due to this, Nai had to literally check and make sure he took it off so his body had a chance to breathe and not constantly be maneuvering the prosthetic.

Definitely was wary about people touching it at first, but now he’s a lot more comfortable with it (in his college years)

Little kids will ask him questions about it and instead of shying away partly uncomfortably and awkwardly like he did in highschool, he’ll indulge them (with a cool make believe storytime and allow them to touch his arm).

Type 1 Diabetes

This guy has such a sweet tooth help him

Knives will have to hold him back like, “You’ll overdose on insulin no,” and swat his hand away

Has long acting insulin, has to have short acting on hand (usually in a Fanny pack) because when they go out he’ll grab a snack lol (he snacks a ton. The guy is hungry and when he sees smth that looks good, chances are he’ll usually grab it and offer you a piece <3)

Nai has to remind him to check his A1C, has it on a calendar in his phone for every 3 months

When Vash didn’t eat/forgot to eat when his depression was really bad in highschool, his blood sugar would crash bad. Nai had to shove glucose tabs down his throat while he was shaking, berating him on how irresponsible he is. It comes from a place of love.

When it’s high (DKA/ Diabetic Keto Acidosis) he’s incredibly sluggish and has to be sitting/laying down while waiting for his short acting/fast acting insulin to work.

A glucometer/blood finger stick was cheaper (and a blood sugar sensor wasn’t covered in his insurance) so that’s what Vash uses to check his blood sugar

Whenever Vash gets snacks for himself he claims it’s for his blood sugar (which partly, it is), but they both know it’s partly a lie LMAO. When Nai confronts him on that with a deadpan look Vash simply excuses it as study snacks. “They help me concentrate!” “..sure.”

Mixed hearing loss

Thanks to the accident, Vash has mixed hearing loss.

Mixed hearing loss means that unlike sensioneural hearing loss (hearing loss caused by damage to the inner ear or the nerve from the ear to the brain) and conductive hearing loss (hearing loss to outer and middle ear) 

He has to wear hearing aids thanks to this, but it takes him awhile to actually acknowledge it since he doesn’t want to stress out Nai any further after the accident. This leads to his hearing loss actively getting worse since he isn’t seeking out treatment.

He looks incredibly sheepish and guilty once he finally brings it up, as it’s impacting his life more often and becomes more difficult to navigate in his day to day life.

His hearing is better in his left than right. Insurance wouldn’t cover 2 hearing aids and his hearing was 50-70 percent in his left while his right was 30-50, so he only got one hearing aid.

To help him sluggishly get ready in the morning and because he keeps mixing up his left and right when he’s half awake he gets one ear pierced in college (with Wolfwood’s advice)

Nai thinks it looks ridiculous but yk what? If it helps him to use his hearing aid? A win is a win.

He forgets to put it in sometimes T<T

He has to constantly change the frequency/setting/channels like if he’s in a cafeteria with a lot of voices it can get really squeaky and overwhelming for him

Hashimotos

Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disorder affecting the thyroid gland. Leukocytes attack the thyroid.

He had dry skin and thinning hair and brushed it off as him not eating enough.. haha, guess what it was-

Eyebags. Constantly fatigued but he pulls through

Can easily get cold (he wears long sleeves and sweatshirts religiously lmao)

He takes naps often because he’s rlly tired

Hashimotos causes joint pain too so I’d imagine he feels like crap with that too sadly

There’s also the fact he often has to handle brain fog- he already struggles doing tasks thanks to his ADHD and so this only makes it more difficult. What helps him I think is a website that breaks things down for you step by step and he uses a reminders app with timed reminders for certain things (like https://goblin.tools/)

Anemia

Vash is a pretty naturally warm person but his fingers and toes can get cold

One reason why he wears gloves (that and sensory issues + he got used to wearing gloves to hide his arm in highschool- he doesn’t hide his arm anymore when he’s in college though).

When he stands up is the dizziness from POTS, anemia, his diabetes, or hashimotos?? Guess we’ll never know (poor blood circulation and dizziness)

He has some iron supplements he either forgets to take or doesn’t take as much as he should (so Nai remembers to incorporate more iron into his diet)

His arms and legs tend to fall asleep kinda fast sometimes (so you’ll have to help shake them awake lol)

on the one hand, fuck past me for not planning this academic year better so we could actually succeed instead of trusting other people would support us. on the other hand, past me (fresh out of dissertation defense) wanted to die SO BADLY, i guess they weren't in a good place to craft a new professional persona.

[dotthings]

Reading through new developments on stan twitter discourse on the jibcon related drama and having a big I TOLD YOU SO moment.

I TOLD YOU. The goal would be to ban it outright. I TOLD YOU this would be weaponized into an excuse to attempt to shut out Destiel fanart.

Nobody has yet, but Daniela, the con organizer, basically threatened to take all the toys away if queer people and allies didn't stop pointing out the problem with how queer fans were treated, and then the concern trolling dog whistling conformists showed up and started arguing with a fan who reasonably pointed out, why is this an issue if the actors are willing to sign the art, and then a homophobic busybody stan suggested all fan art should be banned and they only allow photographs for signing.

Slippery slope indeed.

And some people think we can't call this fascist behavior.
