Hi I need people to remember scoliosis isn't the only back issue that exists

I've had multiple instances where I talked about my back issue, stating a defect in my spine causes me chronic pain, and people respond with "so do you have a form of scoliosis?"

NO. not only does this show how little people understand scoliosis but that scoliosis being the first thing to come to mind means other back problems and spine conditions are not known well enough and we need to fix that.

Start talking about your conditions, talk about your back problems, explain what you experience and listen when people talk about theirs.

Don't let the world continue to be ignorant and assume there's only one condition for you to have, don't let peoples ignorance out you in a box, that happens way too often and the only way we can solve and prevent it is if we don't stop talking about it.

Bringing awareness to things is the only way we can stop having to deal with situations like this where people are ignorant and make assumptions about our bodies based on our age, appearance and their limited knowledge.

And for the able bodied folk, don't talk over us, listen and learn and help us spread awareness. PLEASE

okay okay so luigi thoughts… for some reason i feel like it’s not talked about enough that lu has chronic pain? (maybe out of respect, considering most of the conversation around that is about his rumored intimacy issues) but for me it’s something that hits very close to home bc i’ve lived w chronic pain for most of my life and it does make certain activities very difficult. it just makes me so soft to think of being able to help him through bad episodes, not even relieving the pain because that’s often unrealistic, but just being there to hear him vent and hold his hand and breathe with him. like i just want someone to tell him he’s not alone and he’s adequate as he is and enough whether he has pain or not and whether he can do certain things or not 😭 i just know as a man it must really mess w your identity and he just deserves all the hugs and words of affirmation in the world

OMG hi anon!! tysm for sending this <33 it also hits very close to home for me, i had the same spinal surgery as him also in 2023 😦 so i totally get it… but i agree, ive been mulling over in my head like whether or not to touch that with my writing because it does feel like a form of representation (lol like ill take it) and it’s not a boogeyman and if we’re really going for realism (ik that’s not always the goal here haha) it affects every single aspect of ur life… but i also don’t want to trivialize his pain? idk but this ask encouraged me write about it so ty 😭💗

SO that being said yes i will absolutely write something(s) about chronic pain tbh would love a series idk… ive been jotting some things down and it is lowkey a bit cathartic? and yeah i agree the way it’s portrayed often in basically any media or our collective consciousness is not very realistic especially the chronic nature of pain…

sorry i didn’t answer with a some hcs i might circle back w something later tonight but i wanted to answer this ask 🥺 also i hope you’re in an okay place with ur pain right now anon u also deserve all the hugs and words of affirmation in the world 💗💗

ARMYs are really just burnt out and I don’t think the rapid fire pace of releases has helped anything. It’s amazing as a fan to get all this music, but the expectation to chart everything I think is unrealistic and kind of overwhelming. People just don’t have that kind of time, energy, or money to go all out for every comeback when they happen every other month, sometimes several in a single month. It especially doesn’t help if ARMYs aren’t feeling the song, and I don’t think they’ve felt quite a bit of CH2 music.

I have longer thoughts on all this, but I just have so much annoyance towards some chart ARMYs and their unrealistic expectations and their refusal to acknowledge that the current organized fandom streaming power isn’t what they think it is. Another big wave of HL victimization (but sometimes TH is also included??) from ARMYs and it just opened the doors for so much resentment and hatred to be thrown towards jkk but especially Jimin. It was really disturbing to go and block these people & find I had 5-10+ moots following each time. It’s really out of control.

I’m just tired of this RL discourse while they ignore the twenty elephants in the room that explain why the streams are where they are (and no it’s not because “ARMYS hate RL”.). Instead they just throw these tantrums that further divide an already deteriorating and toxic fandom. I don’t know what it will take for them to understand that a fandom that doubled with Dynamite is going to prefer pop music, and that the majority of ARMYs are in fact not zombie streamers but fans who casually listen to the music that appeals to them. Not to mention the fact that a lot of ARMYs aren’t even active right now, so many of them have been dropping off and waiting for BTS to return as a group.

It really just keeps getting worse and worse in ARMY spaces. I’m pretty sure active ARMYs are about 90% diet solos at this point. It’s extremely messed up what a lot of them can get away with saying and not get canceled or called out for. It’s also just this hyper-fixation on drama, shooter accounts, NewJean’s, MHJ, raging against whatever fandom approved villain of the month, trending pointless hashtags for random reasons, and then being shady and resentful because of these arbitrary goals they set that are often influenced by using Jimin as a goalpost.

not to be dramatic but if my back doesn't stop hurting ill explode the world i need to STUDY

[ourceliumnetwork]

dry swallowing pills is my stupidest flex. i'm not even showing off anymore i'm just impatient

[belugamenace]

my back was doing so good for so long and now all the pain is just back x10 and idk what to do. i think i’ve been exerting myself physically too much (lifting heavy things at work, going out after a heavy lifting work day, going out again the next day) and now my body is shutting down. anyways i will be forcing myself to rest tomorrow which means… i shall stay in bed reading and writing probably. maybe do some revisions on These Bones and work on the new chapter

i have so many new ideas that i want to work into the story, ways to create more tension between the two… aka have sanji and zoro be at each others throats… metaphorically of course

My back: "But what if, hurty."
