#i disable the hermits

[cryptskeep]

anyone with cfs?

I'm assuming this means chronic fatiuge syndrome and boy do I have IDEAS!!!!

Okay so I was originally going to do Bdubs but I realized Xisuma gives off the same vibes as my friend with CFS

so here we go!!

Xisuma

General Lore:

drawing from some of my favorite aus where Xisuma is a very exasperated manager/owner of a store (my favorite it coffee shops) but personally I think he would absolutley own a craftstore

is Cleo's fabric supplier

thinks his employees are hilarious but is trying so hard to be the Big Boss Manager Man and serious (he is failing)

loves doing table flower arrangments with fake flowers (it's his guilty pleasure)

actually used to work in a flower shop

loves cosplay and spends so much of his money on building cosplays

CFS Lore:

mans big sleepy

constant headaches or brain fog, no in between

he has sticky notes EVERYWHERE that remind him of things that he doesn't want to forget

uses a wheelchair and decorates it for every cosplay he does

They don’t even attempt to assassinate US politicians anymore. You notice that? Not since the anthrax scare back for… who was it, Barack? And even that… pathetic. This new generation has no respect for an honest hitman. I’m not sure this new generation has any honest hitman - you see that shit with Boeing? Sloppy, fucking disgraceful - you kill the whistleblowers before they get halfway to a lawsuit. What kind of fucking amateur is doing faked suicides the night before testimony? Goddamn greenhorns. Back in my day someone tried to shoot Ronald Reagan in broad daylight. There used to be bomb threats to Congress. I took out a few union leaders in the utilities sector myself. Today’s generation? Won’t even threaten to throw a punch - not even over on that - what’s it now, ‘X’? They got no guts. None! And they don’t even have poor impulse control to boot! Too much of that - that panopticon anxiety bullshit. “Oh what if I get a called out post???” People used to send the president letters full of bioweapons. In the mail! Today’s generation? Not a chance. All because of woke.

god save me from the dumb shit i say when hit with brain fog

Putting on my mask to answer the door for the lawn guy made me realize I've finally kinda Pavlov'd myself with masks. Putting one on gets me immediately cheerful and excited because I'M ABOUT TO TALK TO PEOPLE! 😃 😃 I'm about to be able to interact with some one!! Yay!

I hate where masks ended up socially speaking. I hate that only disabled people wear them now and get mocked and mistreated for it. I hate that we, AS A WHOLE, didn't see masks as the thing they could have been: access. Safety. When everyone was wearing them, it wasn't just covid it helped. Flu numbers were wildly affected by it, people stopped having constant reliable seasonal colds, immunocompromised people felt safe around people.

But no. The politics of the mask was immediately co-opted by bad actors who decided temporary physical discomfort was too much to ask an able-bodied person to do for others. That having to adapt to a mask-heavy lifestyle to get us to a new safe normal just wasn't acceptable.

And here we are. Covid still raging, everyone with a weak immune system left to die or rot in isolation, all so Betty and Jim can go to weekly square dance night without masks because masks make you a cuck or whatever buzzword the political right was clinging to that week. Masks are woke! Masks are marxism! Masks are communism! Whatever

I usually don't talk about witchcraft or my beliefs much, but there's sth that has to be said: the gods, deities, fae, whoever you want to connect / work with, whoever they are - they get it. they understand every "flaw" you may think you have and they don't love you any less for it. in fact they might even love you a little bit more because they know you need it.

they don't care wether you use the 8000 dollar gucci jar or an old used one you had lying around they don't care that you may not have the time or energy to do fancy rituals they don't get offended if you forget to thank them once or a few times they will not love you less if you ignore them for a while don't have an altar? that's perfectly fine too ( in fact some prefer not to be limited to a place of worship anyway )

what really matters is intention.

what'd u say on the "how can y be queerphopic and also support the hermits" post

cant just say that u might've been an inciting incident and then not elaborate

I'm cutting out op's url, but this is what I was referencing

[saym0-0]

guyysss i have such a good angsty teen/human au brewing in my brain,, gem and grian's snails are involved. they're these guys

(african giant land snails)

au rambling under the cut vv

basically the au follows gem, from when her house blows up due to a gas leak when shes at a sleepover at her friends house (sausage pearl and grian) when shes 14 through her working through her trauma from that event and into adulthood

its more fleshed out than that i promise 🫶🫶

grian has two pet snails and immediately gives one to gem when he finds out she's staying with them for a few weeks because her house blew up

fwhip and gem are twins and fwhip got very blown up oops. hes an ambulatory wheelchair user and an amputee (his right leg below the knee). he doesn't get a prosthetic fr a long time bc they're not a super well off family in the first place so he prioritises a good wheelchair and you know. a house. over a prosthetic for a pretty long while (a few years at least)

sausage is their half brother but lives with pearl and grian (and impulse! hes their dad. and maybe skizz. i think it would be funny if they adopted three kids together as homies) because his dad died and their family wasnt in the right financial situation to support three children. at least he stayed close?

uh yeah theres still more to it but still. gem gets a skateboard at some point and she and fwhip race down hills to see whos set of wheels is the fastest

Our deer Scar! :3

Hope i'm not too late with this

[mossycattail]

is having joints that constantly pop all the time like, a thing amongst abled people or should i have taken the hint way earlier that something was off cuz i just barely shifted and my hip popped really loud and now it mildly aches

[besnouted]

i always get so defensive when people make college is a waste of money jokes because i'm always like what do you mean learning stuff in a structured environment while being surrounded by easily accessible food/resources/libraries/social circles that allow you to make friends regardless of normally marginalizing factors (for the most part) is a WASTE!!! because i would do literally anything to be in that kind of environment again lol but then i remember most people actually have to pay back their students loans

Headcanon that Tango has basically asthma because fuck you that's why

[cryptskeep]

If you're still doing disability headcannons, perhaps a hermit with tourettes?

can do boss!!!

For this, methinks Tango, I saw a really awesome fic where tango had tourettes and I wish I could find it again so I could link it

this is mainly based on my own experience having tics

Tango

General Lore:

owns an escape room called Decked Out

graduated college/uni/whatever a few years ago and uses his enginering degree to make peoples lives more difficult

buys wayyyy too much stuff from Xisuma's craft store (X jokes that tango's singlehandedly keeping him in business.)

has a bad habit of picking at his skin

Tourettes Lore:

has mostly motor tics

sometimes makes noises but rarely full sentances as tics

has absolutly given himself a concussion by slamming his head against a wall

migraine haver

sonic frontiers jukebox is really good, i wasn't actually expecting to care abt it much but the added collectibles of the songs (some being in obscure places that i made the effort to get to before just for fun, so having a collectible there is nice) + the whole feature of you being able to replace the background music whenever you want easily with the d-pad is great and gives the game a whole different energy depending on the song. makes me really excited for future games with a more typical go-get-em sonic atmosphere. i love frontiers soundtrack and i think it's one of the best in the series but playing it with the more upbeat music from other games is like WEEEEEEE!! yk

last week i had like half the busy week that any regular person i know has whether disabled or not and idk how they pull it off ever. i had like 5 health appointments + part time work + groceries + watched a film and i was so exhausted and w leg cramps i had to work from home the last day and accidently fell dead asleep during that day and the day before. how the fuck do ppl do this

not autistic so have no dog in this race but it's frustrating seeing people who either aren't autistic or are affected quite minimally (to the point they couldn't reasonably be considered disabled) looking down on or outright mocking other autists for having poor social skills and the consequent "arrested development" as if that's not the primary symptom of the disorder. it seems to me that in recent years the culture of the adult side tumblr has gone from just being here to have a laugh or post fandom stuff to also boasting about how well-adjusted you are compared to those other sad autistic losers (only with a tone of – sometimes genuine i'm sure – pity). frankly since i'm not a psychologist or anything of the sort i could not care less about how mature or accomplished some stranger seems, at least not enough to rag on them for it while puffing myself up. because i understand the urge but, let's be honest, this is mostly what's happening
