Hey look, as much as I'd love to believe this, I do honestly think this is mostly written in bad faith, because I genuinely have a hard time seeing it written as anything but that.

Look. Like, get real close to me for a second real close. RSD, at it's core is a set of symptoms that relate to a specific kind of rejection sensitivity, that people with ADHD (And others!) happen to experience. If it were not a thing that people experienced, then there would be no need for this terminology. The fact that there IS a word for it, means that it is there for people, that this is something real people experience! That's important!

The fact that it isn't documented medically as being a "real thing" doesn't really matter to be honest with you, because there is so much related to mental (and physical!) illnesses that are not documented, and you wouldn't call someone who experiences something undocumented as a liar, would you?

I think that's what it comes down to really. That for some reason you don't want to believe that peoples lived experience, nor the term they've made to describe it, and want to shame them for it...for some reason that is beyond me.

rsd is not a condition. rsd is not a diagnosis. rsd is not a medically recognized symptom of adhd and the experience “rsd” describes is not exclusive to adhd at all. this does not mean people with adhd can’t experience rejection sensitivity, but “rsd” as an “adhd” thing is a concept with no emprical backing developed by one man, with claims of it being brain-based without any evidence behind that claim, as well as many other claims surrounding the “nature” of rsd. adhd is a condition characterized by executive dysfunction, which can involve emotional dysregulation, but acknowledging that is different from the framework of “rsd” and seeing people on this site pass this around without critical thought and even claiming rsd is “adhd only >:(” makes me sick. you’re buying into what’s basically pop psychology instead of scientific research.

emotional dysregulation and rejection sensitivity is by no means adhd exclusive, and people with adhd experiencing those things doesn’t need to have its own special label or whatever when there’s no meaningful difference between someone with adhd experiencing those things and someone without adhd experiencing those things. that’s not logical and a ridiculous mentality of “rsd is adhd ONLY because our rejection sensitivity is SPECIAL” completely goes against building common ground with other neurodivergent people for petty and invalid reasons.

the amount of misinfo going around about adhd on this site is uncanny. please investigate claims others make about disability and do your research - actual research, which doesn’t include tumblr posts that lack citation and oft unreliable sources like ADDitude Mag and WebMD. it would be INFINITELY more productive to operate on a shared experience of emotional dysregulation and rejection sensitivity among varying groups of neurodivergent people than to feed into this nonsensical idea of “adhd-only special super rejection sensitivity.”

If you noticed that my writing in the last ask was a little extra poetic and emotional that is because my grandmother, who is not doing well and has recently been moved into a home to be cared for while her cognition fades and we clean her house, has always had two frames up on her hallway wall, each with several sets of tiny foot and handprints pressed in white plaster and painted in primary colors. I found myself missing those plaster frames while I was writing. They were a little sign of how I was loved even when I was too little to remember it. My siblings and cousins were right there next to me. I have faint memories of cleaning the plaster off my baby cousin's hand.

Idk. Something to think about I guess. Such heirlooms fall in the same category as children's finger paintings or a favorite bracelet. It has no technical value in terms of money. But I know my grandmother would have sold her house to keep those two plaster frames. Just the same as how much she would give to keep the quilts sewn by her mother, quilts we recently split amongst my siblings and cousins. Mine is tattered, but it's the softest, because it's the one we got to snuggle. I called dibs and I know some were disappointed. It will be me that gets to sew the places where stuffing is falling out. I took her dishes, too. I left the expensive ones for siblings, because what mattered to me were the everyday things.

Cherish the silly things. Keep that sentimental item. It doesn't hurt anyone. If it comforts you, do it. Make a plaster frame or a clay tablet. Gift it to a loved one. It might not matter to you, it might not matter to them. But it probably will. And there's nothing quite the same as an everyday cherished thing.

It has been said that Solus zos Galvus had never once shed a tear. It had been said that nothing could shock him, that he was a strange man wise beyond his years, that he acted as though he had already seen most things. Most of it was true. But the claim that he had never cried was not.

It was not the day the ordinary young man came home from hunting subtly changed by something no one else had witnessed. It was not his first battle, or his fifth, or the one where he lost near everyone close to him and won the day in a fight so long and gruesome that it had marked the turn of the endless war between Garleans and the world. It was not the day he was married to his cold wife Marcella or the day his first child was born.

It was the day that first child was laid out in his coffin for his father to look upon. Marcella had not been there, and his other son had been out for war. But little Varis had been. He'd seen that single tear roll down his grandfather's cheek. He'd clung to his sleeve, hoping both to comfort and be comfort, only to be chilled by the cold and hate filled gaze shot his way by the man who had always been a somewhat distant but warm and comforting figure before, someone he could turn to when his father was busy.

Varis did not only lose his father that day, but his grandfather too. With that single tear shed, Solus zos Galvus seemed to release the last dredges of his humanity. A cruel grandfather, a strict and harsh ruler, cold and mean and power hungry with a love for vengeance. He sought war with a hunger and Varis had seen on his face the cruel satisfaction when the emperor learned of the calamity in eorzea his people had caused. Varis did not know what drove him, but he knew that though Garlemald prospered, that was only a side effect of Solus's true goal.

It would only be years later, when Solus died and Varis was crowned, that he learned what his grandfather had truly wanted. It was only then when he realized why the man who had raised him could never love him. It was only then that Varis realized he had been the one to witness the last tears shed by an ancient for his mortal son, the one to witness Emet-Selch of the world unsundered lose his faith in the life of sundered mortals.

Pinned Info Post

Hey basically I'm going to start cross posting adopts from my DA adoptable account [Universe-Adoptables] to here as well!

I wassss just posting them on my main blog chirp-trolls, but like, I decided that spamming my barely active fantroll blog with adopts was like, not the thing? I also make more than fantroll adopts, so this is going to be everything everything.

All posts will have their prices, any bases used, and link to deviation post in it's tumblr post!

Everything will also be tagged!

Thanks for looking~!

i just want everyone to know i'm still alive. love u!!

Vees I appreciate and love you, but this post doesn't read like that, at all.

It very much reads like a post saying "rsd isn't real" at least to me (and judging by the many commentors it reads like that to them too)

Rsd has been described as a type of rejection sensitivity in which people have an extreme reaction to perceived rejection. (And as far as I'm aware, it was never described with any relation to trauma) and this resonated with a ton of us.

And look! You're right we are experiencing a type of emotional regulation issue here, I don't think anyone is saying that were not? I'm not sure that anyone is under the illusion that RSD is not an emotional regulation issue?

Like from my understanding, and how I see it. (and maybe im seeing it wrong.) Is that RSD is describing a *type* of emotional dysregulation issue. Not that it's something else, not that it's something ~special~ not that it's adhd specific(I don't know why this keeps on coming up I don't think I've ever seen anyone say that?)

But out of the entire wide symptoms or set of symptoms that falls under emotional dysregulation, that this is a set of symptoms that people deal with and identify with, and RSD happens to be the name that's been ascribed to it.

Like for instance someone were to say that that those who experience a set of symptoms that would be described as distructive mood dysregulation disorder, but then someone comes along and says that it's not real, and that you're just experiencing emotional dysregulation. Which sure, is true, but is glossing over what people are trying to say.

That's what this post reads like. Not a kind gesture of saying "hey there is a specific term for this very specific set of symptoms you're experiencing" just that "this isn't real, you're not special, you're experiencing emotional dysregulation" (a broad term) , and then...leaving us there.

Also I'm going to touch on the other disorders thing here real fast, bc I'm not ignoring it. I just, am so confused by it. I don't think I've ever heard anyone ever say, genuinely, that adhd people are the only people that have rsd/deal with emotional regulation issues. I'm sure that I and others are very aware that many other mental illnesses also experience all types of dysregulation issues. But again, I've never seen anyone, much less someone with adhd saying that only adhd people deal with this type of issue...like ever? (And like if they're saying that they're wrong but?)

rsd is not a condition. rsd is not a diagnosis. rsd is not a medically recognized symptom of adhd and the experience “rsd” describes is not exclusive to adhd at all. this does not mean people with adhd can’t experience rejection sensitivity, but “rsd” as an “adhd” thing is a concept with no emprical backing developed by one man, with claims of it being brain-based without any evidence behind that claim, as well as many other claims surrounding the “nature” of rsd. adhd is a condition characterized by executive dysfunction, which can involve emotional dysregulation, but acknowledging that is different from the framework of “rsd” and seeing people on this site pass this around without critical thought and even claiming rsd is “adhd only >:(” makes me sick. you’re buying into what’s basically pop psychology instead of scientific research.

I wish we'd seen Jazz in TF:P. Think how much his knowledge would have been invaluable.

This is a mechanism that traveled to almost every single citystate, and was able to integrate with every culture like a chameleon. He would have seen how they mourned their dead, celebrated their living, and everything in between.

He would have danced to their music, and eaten their food- laughed with their crowds.

To have seen that variety and beauty, and then to watch it disappear would have been heartbreaking.

I wish we could have had him there.

"There is a sense of solidity in Appalachia I am from here, I am from the earth I am Adam, made from the soil of this land The trees grow tall above me I name their leaves as Adam named each creature I let the ants crawl over my face I cradle bugs in my hands to bring them outside My mother calls me when she sees them Because she knows I love the feeling Not because she is frightened to hold them herself She is Adam, too.

When the snow comes in, I wonder The ice age is solid in the soil Melted but marked forever Do my winters stay in my bones? Will I always have ice this beautiful? When I am buried I wish to be under a tree I will feed it; I will have no box Let me return to my cradle.

I tell my brother how the sun makes new stars Early in the morning shining off the dew A small universe by my pond from the mullein and hemlock I hold leaves to the sun as I eat clover and honeysuckle I harvest pokeweed and persimmon And my hands are covered in the dirt I was born from.

I have read that Appalachia is older than bones I believe that is far truer than any other wonder For if Adam is made from dirt then that must surely be the bone From which Eve was fashioned as well We are all the mountains. That is why our blood holds iron That is why our bones hold calcium I am a mineral deposit My eyes are the finest gems the mountain could offer me They let me see the wonder.

Appalachia exists in Scotland and China We are brothers of the same old soil. The dissolution of Pangea Was the exodus from our garden. But we find our way home With the elk and chestnut to follow In rocky mountain spring and holler In the den of the snake beneath our porch In the bird’s nests above it In the blooming vegetable garden Appalachia = Eden."
