i’ve been in a lot of undiagnosed pain recently and struggling with medical care for it, but your art and bits of lore have been giving me a wonderful distraction. you have my gratitude and appreciation!

I'm sorry to hear you've been in pain and not getting the proper treatment for it, that's awful. But I'm glad my art and ramblings have been able to take your mind away from it. I hope things work out for you soon!

Hey y’all! I am still working on the baby blanket tutorial, I got about halfway done with the next step but had what was perhaps the worst muscle spasm I’ve had to date, so it’s delayed for a bit

I’m okay now but I think that one hit a nerve, and once it stopped all the other muscles on that side of my body got super tense so I’m going to go befriend some hot water bottles for a while instead of sewing more. I’ll hopefully have it done tomorrow, but I’m also getting an MRI tomorrow (for unrelated reasons) so no promises on that

realizing it’s probably not normal to have a good hip and bad hip at the ripe old age of 18…

why is my whole body crunchy 🥲

a poem by me

snick, snap

creak, crack

shoulders roll or twisting back

shaking hips and trembling knees

ankles rapping eulogies

these syncopations smack the

shit out of me

cadences i didn't want that won't release their

grip on me

(which really isn't fucking fair

if you pause and sit to think)

((the sitting is the important part

cuz standing makes you weak))

(((movement is just fine though, that's another thing)))

((((that is, except, for rusty hips and ankles thinking they can sing))))

whatever, i digress

the point this poem makes is that

as my body snicks and snaps and creaks and cracks

at least there's music in my bones

hey @thebibliosphere you don't know me but I think you're really cool and I appreciate your blog so much. so this one's for you ^_^

self-indulgent because i'm having a Riotously terrible evening pain-wise but i'm very fond of hunter being a waify little chronic illness/pain boy post-canon and like. for a while, just. no one.... notices.....?

not even because he's actively Hiding it, like. he would 100% tell people he's in pain if they asked. it just. doesn't occur to him to share. he'll sometimes quietly withdraw and lay down in the dark to conserve his energy and the others very reasonably assume it's a grief thing.

so they'll sometimes like. knock gently on the door and ask if he wants company, to which sometimes the answer is yes and sometimes it's no. "no" when hunter is in a significant enough amount of pain that he really can't move much & "yes" when he wants to curl up with bad TV shows as a distraction

it could be anyone in the squad who figures out what's going on but i'm gonna go with my bias and say it's luz, on a day when she's having some bad depression/grief/survivor's guilt feelings herself. bc she's still coming to terms with her own death and the loss of her glyph magic and sometimes she is. Sad

hunter having one of those Catastrophic pain days where he's planning to be an unmoving lump under 7 blankets for the entire day. n luz coming in and softly asking if she can lay down with him. which is different from asking if he wants company. hunter would say no to company bc he can't really Perform Friendship right now but he doesn't mind luz being here.

luz climbing under the 7 blankets too. n snuggling up to hunter and wrapping an arm around him. and hunter just like. goes Stiff. like beyond "hm this is mild discomfort" stiffness, his muscles completely lock up and go rigid like he's just been Shot. he doesn't make any sound or protest or flinch away or anything, he just kind of. stops breathing

luz pulls away immediately bc she recognizes that Something Is Very Wrong, i'm guessing she assumes it's a panic response bc hunter has plenty of reason to have issues with physical touch. but then she sees the expression on his face and it clicks and she's like.

hunter. dude. hey. hey. hunter.

do your scars HURT??????

oh now I'm alerted of air mattress. could have done so before I actually tried the dog bed whatever..

[a-whispering-echo]

how do people differentiate between different types of pain? how do you know if the pain you are feeling is a pulsing, a throbbing a stabbing pain or an ache? Like? ive had people ask me what kind of pain something feels like, and i just describe it the best i can, but then people look at me confused, and i get the feeling like ive said the wrong thing in response to what im actually feeling?? like?? how do you KNOW what the word is for the thing?

[iguessitsjustme]

I will probably delete this later but it is my birthday and I cannot stress how happy I am that I am no longer sick and that this year I did not wake up with a back spasm

[hauntedpotat]

WE DID THE HILL A DAY EARLY

HELP

For context at band camp there's a really steep hill and when we march on the streets we go up and then down said hill, while playing etc

I'm not kidding it's probably a 70 degree angle and I know math stuff

I hate it so much because I have snare drum and I can't lift my knees very far without hitting the bottom of the drum so the entire percussion section is just struggling for like 30 feet

[shima-draws]

I finally figured out why I’ve been in near constant pain for the past month lmao apparently I’ve got a pinched nerve in my hip so like. Sciatica. Idk HOW it happened or why but I’m seeing a chiro to hopefully do something about it :”)

crippling need to draw this image i have of sabigiyuu pressed back to front, giyuu holding onto the arm thats hand is splayed over his stomach/ribs, easily leaning his head back onto sabito's shoulder, his soft barely-there hold on giyuu's neck with their cheeks gently pressed together

new ink. first of two pieces honoring myself, my past and my journey forward. being finally free from 15 years of physical and mental illness, being able to see for the first time in my life that there is a future for me that's worth having, worth fighting and struggling and striving towards... it's too big a feeling to put into words. this line is just a placeholder for the song from which it came.

florence + the machine carried me through my lowest lows, and now keeps me company in my highest highs. the second piece will also be a reflection of their influence on my heart and creative spirit.

[clfixationstation]

well, I suppose it's nice to know that I have enough mind to slide down a wall to avoid hitting my head whilst fainting

[kurumeki]

I was wondering if crying after yoga is normal and yes, it is very normal. Accidentally finding a way that works for me to release trauma stored in the body.
