#generalized epilepsy

[atohii]

in yet another failure to care about people sensitive to flashing, the new Scream movie ad includes aggressive flashing within a second of the ad starting. It seems to just be in the usual format of an ad, not one that haunts the background, but if you see the below at the top of an ad

go ahead and either exit the app or close your eyes and scroll. I was not able to get a screenshot of how the whole ad starts as there is, again, less than a second before the flashing starts.

really loving how people stopped caring about flash sensitivities lmao

anyway you should reblog this to warn your followers as well, I'd rather as few people have this violent surprise as possible

Hello fellow Tumblr travellers! Any people with grandmal epilepsy try to use tea or old folk medicine in desperation?

I've been using green tea for years up until 2013. Started convulsing out of control the more I drank the green tea. They told me I developed an allergy to it.

I tried this mint Melody tea containing spearmint, peppermint, and rose hips. It's pleasant unfortunately there's nothing for my epilepsy.

Recently this year I learned from a Google search basil has anti-convulsive abilities.

This is going to sound crazy but the basil works.

More from The Department of Before They Were Star Trek Stars: Nearly five years before James T. Kirk set off on his five-year mission into space, William Shatner guest-stars in "Portrait of a Painter," episode 14 of the third season of "Naked City" (original airdate January 10, 1962).

Roger Barmer (Shatner) is a disturbed young artist who believes he may have killed his wife during an epilepsy-related blackout. He confides in his doctor, who convinces him to turn himself in to the police. It is a very sensitive performance, nearly free of the swagger that we've come to expect. The physical resemblance between young Shatner and Merritt Butrick (David Marcus) is very noticeable here.

Given the 1960s medical establishment's belief in homosexuality as a mental illness, the discussion of Roger's issues with women and intimacy (and his mother, oh, you have so much to answer for, Dr. Freud), the physical clinginess he displays toward the doctor, and body language that I recognize as coded for femininity and submission from my own Shakespearian training, I don't think I'm reaching too awfully far when I see some queer subtext in the extended scene in the doctor's office. (He looks like he could be playing Desdemona or Ophelia on that couch.)

Other Trek connections: The doctor is portrayed by Theodore Bikel, who played Worf's adoptive father Sergei Rozhenko in the Star Trek: The Next Generation fourth-season episode "Family." I nearly didn't recognize him without his signature beard, but the voice was unmistakable.

kaladin and renarin should bond over people constantly telling them to eat. they should found the let me starve in peace club together where they shit talk everyone who keeps telling them that all their problems could be solved by eating.

I feel like I need to tell everyone that every AMV I have posted on my channel, I made on my phone and likely within like a 24-48 hour period because I am fucking insane.

I feel like that clears a lot of the issues I personally have with them, that wasn't covered by: a) I was literally still learning how to even edit or b) waiting on content to drop (or in some cases, waiting to get further into a series for More content lol)

So I guess I'm saying that actually I'm pretty proud of them, even though there's definitely a level of cringe I can feel wash over me at times when rewatching. I have some bangers in my drafts as well, and So So So many plans for new ones.

I have since moved my editing onto a laptop, and I plan on re-making most - if not, all of my existing ones

BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE LIGHTSABER AD

That lightsaber ad contains bright flashing lights and you have to scroll for quite a while to pass it. I was scrolling and it just startled me for a second out of nowhere.

Idk how to get rid of it but be careful frens :3

So if headaches are lag then does Tallulah’s lag spikes equate to chronic migraines or epilepsy or something

Hey I made a PSA post but I wanted to make sure you know in case you were going to see it, but The Mean Girls musical movie has two parts that use massive strobe effects. The song during the Halloween Party and the Regina song reprise. ❤️

This is the first I’m hearing about it but thank you for the heads up Nicole!

photosensitivity warning for trigun stampede

ok I couldnt find any posts on this: if you plan on watching the 2023 anime Trigun Stampede, in episode 6 at around the 11:50* minute mark, after wolfwood leaves the orphanage, there's an EXTREME amount of flashing and pulsating rainbow colors that take up the entire screen. it lasts for more than a minute, and ends around the 13:30* mark. it was bad enough I couldnt look at the screen and for the moment that I saw, my head immediately started hurting.

near immediately after it's followed by a scene with flashing red lights. it's not as bad as the previous scene but still sucks. the flashing lights end when the alarm stops sounding. *general time estimate to account for different timestamps depending on the platform.

!! VOLUME / GLITCH / FLASH WARNING !!

posted on youtube because tumblr absolutely destroyed the quality

happy birthday to the world's most beautiful man!! i made this edit earlier this month but decided to schedule it for his birthday instead, since it was happening soon anyway lmao. so here's an edit for my favourite frederick skin in story, characterisation, theme, and design!! phantom sail is genuinely such an incredible skin and i love how this turned out; with each edit i make i only get better >:-D

song is culpability and the panopticon by ghost and pals. 'twas promised in the tags for my emil edit and now i deliver <3

several paragraphs of super sappy shit + frederick appreciation under the cut

so back before frederick was released, my best friend @sunset-of-the-void and i had been talking about him. we didn't know much about him, but we liked what we did know: a beautiful, mentally ill musician with family trauma, auditory hallucinations, and perfectionism issues. void was a lot more fond of him than i was, but the more we talked about him, the more i liked him too. i found myself eager to learn more about this upcoming survivor.

so now here we are. a little over a year after his release, and with his inclusion in ashes of memory, his complete lack of new skins until coa7 and voyage of oceanus, and playing him initially just to fulfill one side of a ship (i'll get talking about emilerick in a sec), he's only grown more on me. i've made jokes that frederick is one of only two men who i as a lesbian am attracted to, but in all seriousness, i genuinely adore him as a character. he is truly very well-written and designed and in one short year, he's become a huge comfort for me. he's one of my favourite idv characters to write about, and i'm pretty sure i'm more than a little annoying about him to my idv friends (terribly sorry about that </3).

and yes, maybe part of that comes from void coming up with the brilliant, beautiful ship that is emilerick. making content for what's quickly turned into one of my biggest comfort ships has given me a chance to look even deeper into his character outside of stressful situations. frederick is a fascinating and complex character, and i have greatly enjoyed writing him interacting with emil, who, in my opinion, is just as fascinating and complex as he is. as long as frederick has existed, we have had emilerick, and i wouldn't have it any other way.

on his own, too, frederick is a wonderful character, and i love him dearly. from surface-level traits such as his posh appearance and the music that disrupts the game itself, to what aom introduced with his relation to mary and his proficiency with firearms, to even the smallest details like his chimerism and the family crest on his a-tier accessory, frederick is incredibly well-thought-out and it's clear that a lot of love has gone into his character. as both a fan of the game and a writer, i adore him.

the consistent themes between his skins certainly help, too. i hope they keep it up while also finding new ways to make him fucked up and evil, it's delightful.

i love you, frederick. never stop being your concerning, weird, obsessive self.

Oh also @sewercentipede I have had minor panic attacks on psilo and it was very strange, they felt happy and intense but still very much panicky. Before I would feel a terrible sense of dread!! So I still get riled up but when I do, my heart rate goes up and I just feel intense. It happens less too. I have not had a seizure since I started and I'm going to be recording that intently
