wilson being primarily sensory avoidant makes so much sense to me. He’s on the quieter side, I've mentioned light sensitivity before, and he is super tame compared to house, who is definitely sensory seeking in a lot of ways. We've seen both of them forgo crowded parties or social events, either together or separately. wilson can’t keep his mask that long, and house just doesn't get along with people. I also don't think wilson likes the complexity of noise that is dozens of conversations, eating noises, background music, and appliance electricity that makes up a social dinner event. He likes to attend the talks and lectures because then at least only one person is talking. He likes it to be quiet and dark when he’s tired, and it’s the one thing he’s been able to enforce in his and house’s apartment. I think wilson’s got that light-touch aversion, so if you bear hug him and slap him on the shoulder every once in a while he’s all good. He definitely owns a weighted blanket. 

Which makes poetic sense that house is sensory seeking— his nerves are fucked from surgery and vicodin, and he doesn’t always feel stuff like he used to, but he still looks for stimulation everywhere. He blasts his music, throws his ball around, and starts arguments because that’s a fun thing for him. Sex is sensory, and he seeks that out too. He drinks alcohol because it makes him feel more that he wants and a little less of his leg. Jumping off the balcony into the pool? Sensory seeking that adrenaline rush. He spends that entire episode trying to drown out his bad feelings with good feelings. 

Their apartment is insane, and it took a long time to balance it. Their bedroom is soundproofed for many reasons, and once they’ve organized it how they like it it rarely changes (sometimes wilson will feel insane and reorganize the kitchen or bathroom). Their bedroom has always stayed the same. Wilson has a home office in the other bedroom that is always supposed to be a quiet zone, and House doesn’t take home work. They have two wheely office chairs though, because sometimes house’s leg can’t be weight bearing and he still needs to get around the apartment. There’s a designated sensory sheet, which is for hiding under or dimming lights. 

They sleep in ways that accommodate house’s leg, but wilson usually smashes his face against house’s chest/neck/back. sometimes wilson scratches his scalp more as stimming/compulsion or a habit, but it can quickly get to be harmful because it’s so often a bad times thing. if they’re at home, house will replace wilson’s hands with his own and scratch more with his fingertips than his nails, or just pets his head for a while. At the hospital he just slaps at wilson’s hands because it’s funnier. 

wilson does not have many sensory toys/fidgets or external regulation things, if he needs one he’ll usually just borrow one of house’s (with permission bc house needs to know where things are all the time). But he does have two rubbery sensory brush things (I'm projecting they're called tactile tigers. I have cried over almost losing one and I will be buried with mine. I also have two because one stays in my room and one goes everywhere outside my room) that he adores. He doesn't need them all the time but he always has one. He rubs it on the back of his neck, in his hands, all over his arms, even on his face. He absolutely keeps stealing the shot blockers from the peds wing because they’re awesome for fidgeting, and sometimes he needs one for his patients too. 

Ok, hear me out on this: I usually get tired of cgi/ newer movies because they don't interest me a lot, and I can like. Tell whats computered and what’s real. there’s less joy in it for me to figure out how they did it. I think wilson is the same way. Older movies had less tech, so they had to get creative with how they make things: jurassic park’s giant animatronic t rex, chocolate syrup blood in black and white movies, and all those other practical effects that lower/mid budget movies used to use. It’s often so much more interesting to recognize the spray painted oven mitt slug or the tinsel-wrapped terrier, than it is to see a completely computer generated creature. I am not shitting on CGI or CGI artists!! It’s super cool tech and an awesome profession!! I just have eyes that fatigue very easily, and older movies aren’t as HD ergo not as hard on my eyes. And I like figuring out how they did practical effects and I think wilson would really like that too. 

I think next i’m gonna ramble about sexy things?? I feel insane

Putting the 'Function' in Executive Functioning

Lots of stuff going on and ongoing.

Number One -- Google Tasks is the bomb. Seriously. I'm, like, getting shit done. I'm remembering to do things because my exobrain is remembering it for me. If I can get one thing done around the house each day, on consecutive days, for days at a time, dagnabbit I'm getting shit done. You put it on the Tasks app, it fragging puts it on your Calendar, I keep it open on the phone, it stays in the back of my mind because I see it multiple times in a day, and it gets done. Schedule dog walks, schedule washing dishes, schedule writing, schedule whatever, it's there, you see it, it gets done. Between Tasks, Keep, Gmail and Calendar, I've got the means to keep up with dang near anything. The danger is not overdoing it, because here be burnout yo.

Number Two -- I never got the hang of drinking coffee, y'know? I tried, when I was younger, but it always messed up my stomach and I wasn't thrilled with the taste. My thing was Diet Coke, which I love with the force of a thousand exploding suns. And, later, I developed a love of fine Chinese black teas. (I freely and cheerfully direct your attention to Upton Tea Imports for further information. I loves me some good Chinese Keemuns, that's fine drinking.)

However, in the last week I have discovered a coffee drink I can actually stomach. And it has been educational.

It goes like this: 1 tbsp instant espresso powder, 3 tbsp your choice of creamer powder, 1/4 cup or more chocolate syrup, 8 ounces boiling water. Mix well, with a milk frother mixer thing if you have one but spoon's fine. It's a sort of half-assed mocha thing. I call it 'hellbrew' or Liquid Mania depending on my mood. And speaking of mood ...

The first one I drank it kept me up to 3 AM despite the fact I drank it at least twelve hours earlier.

I've had several since then (I'm afraid to have more than 1 a day), and yesterday it cranked me up so high that I spent more than an hour unable to sit still and stimming like you would not believe. I don't stim physically. Usually. But yesterday dear gods I stimmed. I stimmed so freaking much and suddenly I understand the whole thing now and oh yeah my skin felt like it was vibrating. All over. MY ENTIRE BODY WAS VIBRATING.

I was working at the time. Like I said, educational.

Speaking of ...

Number Three -- I have finally finished training for my job so Monday morning I am turned loose on my own recognizance. It's been 5 weeks? Or six? Five, I think. Regardless, I am working full time and funds are available in abundant supply. Just in time to replace all 4 tires on my car. But still, there have been groceries bought and eaten, and I was able to replace my earbuds when the case on my old ones got messed up. And last night I signed up for health insurance for the new year. And I'll be able to start paying my mortgage again. The reduction of stress has been restful. I am on the verge of not just surviving, but thriving.

Number Four -- Pathfinder Progress. Two nights ago I wrote what is probably the exact midpoint of the book, my protagonist and antagonists finally met face to face. Still not able to speak to each other, but it's only a matter of time. The Taelai have survived the Surprise Asteroid and now outright treachery from some of their own people. They're halfway back to civilization, given their means of travel they've got at least a week to ten days til they reach a friendly port and another week to ten days after that to their throneworld system of Daitengu. There's a lot still left to do. But I am making progress. It's getting done.

And beyond Pathfinder, I now have a third story planned. Tentative title: Cinder. There is a preliminary outline, and because this is me and the theater of the mind has no budget, Imma imagine Tom Cruise starring in it.

Because he's pretty, that's why.

Number Five -- I briefly considered attending the Saga Writer's Conference which is scheduled for July 2024 as my birthday present for my 55th birthday, but honestly I don't think I can justify the expense. I estimate I'd be spending at least $1k if one includes lost wages, and I just can't afford that. I have no doubt it would be a great time and I'd learn a lot of stuff I desperately need to know, plus it's being held at ConGregate and that would be just gravy on the potato cake so to speak. But alas, no.

However! I have been looking in to what I could learn on Skillshare, and the answer is quite a lot. Copyediting, social media marketing, Wordpress skillz, creating author platforms, AI art generation (yeah I know, but professional artists don't work for free and you guys have noticed I'm starting from zero, right?). Also, fiction writing. There's also a lot just for free on YouTube and various podcasts such as the excellent Writing Excuses.

Speaking of ...

Number Six -- ChattaCon is coming up in January, and Imma determined to stalk Mary Robinette Kowal, pin her down and massage her brain.

Number Seven -- I'm actually participating in a local speculative fiction writer's group, a subsect of the Chattanooga Writer's Guild. Like, I went to a real-time, real-life meeting (usually it's over video). This was at a coffee shop but pre- Liquid Mania so there was not 'dance a jig in your chair' or vibrating eyeballs. Next time, I will know what to order to make the proceedings much more entertaining.

Number Eight -- Tom Cruise. Because he's pretty.

If you don't mind me asking four, how about 2, 12, 16, and 20?

2. What are your OC’s food preferences (flavors/textures/spiciness/calories/ when and how they eat) and how did they get that way?

Yes. Any food is good food. They're the type of person who will not eat anything until 7 pm, and then demolish a bag of chips that they're dipping in hot sauce and chocolate syrup in under 5 minutes. They will never initiate eating themselves, but they will always eat whatever you put in front of them. sometimes without looking at it. Amiya uses this fact to force them to eat something healthy. Aak uses it for evil.

12. What perfectly-normal-to-them-thing does your OC do that confuses/pisses off/terrifies thier neighbors?

Oh any number of things. The constant hand/finger stimming. The lack of a regular sleep or bathing schedule. The aforementioned food crimes. The war crimes.

16.How often does your OC “zone out” or do things on autopilot and how severe have the problems that have arisen from that been?

Reynardynes problem is more that their brain doesn't shut off even when they want it to. See "lack of sleep schedule". And the unhealthy amount of caffeine they consume on a daily basis. They have a feeling that the last time they zoned out, it was bad. Very, very bad. (See 'Fall of Babel, pg. 107)

20. What’s your OC smell like?  no, not that “Vanilla and Anxiety” evocative stuff, realistically.  Body odor? what have they been touching all day? When was thier last shower? Did they put on any kind of artificial scent?

Vaguely spicy, sharp, toasted pepper, but you can still smell the body odor that it's trying desperately to hide.

Adventures in DDNOS:

I’ve discovered two new alters/fragments!! At first, I thought I only had one, Liz (my only named fragment), who’s my protector. I’ve known about her since she took shape when I was in middle school, but she’s had phases where she wasn’t around for a while, or at least not that I was aware. She used to be a “too cool for school” arrogant kind of personality, but now she’s kind of mellowed (if you can call it that) into a brash, excitable older sister. She loves messing with people, and when I’m with my partners, she likes slapping their asses super hard to haze them 🤣 especially my fiancé!! (Once she made me slap my boyfriend’s ass super hard and he was like “DAMN I guess you’re REALLY getting comfortable around me now” 🤣)

So the new parts!!

First we’ve got my customer service alter. They REALLY weird my fiancé out 🤣 They’ll show up and my fiancé‘s like “you’re using your customer service voice again 😒” 🤣 I usually am dissociating pretty hard when they show up when I’m not at work. But I’m really lucky to have them bc they are AMAZING at masking my autism. It’s kinda funny bc sometimes we’ll blip and they’ll disappear for a second and I’ll totally fumble my scripting and get all flustered when I’m at work lolol!!! I only just got a job recently, last week was my first week, and they have been SO HELPFUL!!! They used to base their masking on my older cousin, but now they base it on one of my assistant managers bc her customer service voice is so great. It’s pretty funny whenever I go into work and they’re like “ok it is MY TIME” 🤣

And then I’ve got my little!!! They kinda make me baby talk. Like for example, my dad was getting me a shake from McDonald’s earlier and he asked me what flavor I wanted, and the little was like “choccit” instead of chocolate. I’ve done this for a long while, but I never realized WHY I was doing it. Also, they are VERY shy (and easily embarrassed) and they do NOT like being talked to. Like my parents will be talking to/at me and the little will be SO FRUSTRATED bc they just wanna be left alone. They truly just wanna vibe and play games and do their own thing. They’re the low spoons alter, essentially, and they hold a LOT of autism symptoms. They’re HORRIBLE at masking. They also have a signature stim that I never knew I had until my mom pointed it out today— they like to make the corners of my mouth twitch rhythmically. So that’s pretty interesting.

So with my DDNOS, it’s not like DID. I don’t fully leave the driver’s seat whenever my alters decide to show up. I don’t have amnesia either. It’s like I’m sitting in the driver’s seat, I’m pressing the gas pedal, but the alters have a hold of the steering wheel and are dictating how I behave. It’s like I’m carbonated water, and they’re the syrup that flavors me, if that makes sense. I can’t think of a better analogy at the moment. So that’s why I haven’t really been able to identify my alters before. I just thought I was in Really Weird Moods, but now I’m discovering identifiable patterns of behavior that are making me realize that they’re actually alters.

I’m not actually diagnosed with DDNOS yet, and I’m not sure I’m GOING to seek a diagnosis due to the societal detriments that professional diagnosis can bring. I know I dissociate, I have for a long time. I once spent an entire year or so in a severe dissociative state after a traumatic event (losing my friend Jaydan to cancer when we were both 18). It was really bad. So I know I dissociate, I know that’s part of who I am. I just didn’t really realize I had alters until super recently. It’s pretty cool, realizing that there’s actually a REASON for this and it’s not just me having incredibly wild shifts of mood/behavior/mindsets. I could never figure it out! But now I know!! It’s really cool.

And now I’m not the only non-system in my polycule 🤣🤣🤣 I’m not the odd one out anymore!! That’s fun hahaha!! I’ve found that brainweird people tend to find each other. Most of my friends are neurodivergent in one way or another.

🧸 brussel sprouts are disgusting.. i hate peas. and olives are so offensive tasting. italian dressing is gross. anything sour or citrus like oranges is bad too. i dislike some things.

🍿 absolutely a library kid i used to play games on the computer and listen to music on YouTube with those big clunky headphones. id go to their teen time events and learn how to crochet or write haikus and whatnot. id play truth or dare with my friends on the staircase. i would read books. it was my safe space and i miss it.

🍰 i like dessert scents, like cinnamon or vanilla or pumpkin and stuff. fruity smells piss me off.

🍼 i never get called pet names but i would love to be called sweet boy, sweet prince, baby angel, little one, handsome, and anything else sweet tbh!!!! 🥺🥺

🍋 right now the walls are entirely covered in my own art and photography, band posters ive collected from shows, art from my friends and that ive collected along the way, i have a trash wall that i hang up trinkets icome across, i have a black and white wall full of ink illustrations from an old german gamebook i found outside. my room is so cool. ive also got spray painted cardboard up, a clown collection on my shelf, lots of plushies and trinkets, oddities like bones and sheep eyes, art projects scattered everywhere. my room is insane just like me <3

🥞 i love breakfast so much. it’s the bestest meal that you can eat anytime. especially a french toast breakfast with sausage and syrup. sausage is delicious im sorry to aminals. bagels are another safe food i eat constantly, everything seasoned with philadelphia cream cheese or avocado with salt and pepper. an egg if im feeling spicy. also shout out to breakfast burritos bc those are delicious and i don’t eat enough.
