Here's a piece I made for the Guess That Artist game in the Haunted Heroes Discord Server! The theme was to draw fanart for a fanfic and I just couldn't help myself 🥺🥺

This art is from @numinous-scribe's The needle in our compass is trembling a wonderful fic I was really happy to read and re-read as I made this 🤗

It's a wonderful fic full of Demon Twins feels and it felt just right to draw, and was very fun to mimic the WFA artstyle to match it, too! Thank you so much to @arzuera for hosting this it was amazing!!

Cheers! ✨

thoughts on mech pilots and bondage 👀: heavy clusters of wires inside the cockpit, restraints strapping the pilot’s limbs into place, buckles across the torso, cushioning to stop the pilot getting /too/ bruised and battered, a VR headset, gloves, and wires of course.

oh yeah 1000% yes. I fucking love the idea of pilots' helmets being bolted on, of the pilots themselves being bolted into flight armor or like some kind of interface system. data jack implants with screw-lock connectors, cockpits that get welded shut before deployment for maximum armor integrity, the ever-classic massive cable at the base of the skull.... so many possibilities...

the physical therapist after listening to me describe my pain as a rock stuck in my neck instead of "dull" or "sharp" : okay... and on a scale of 1-10 how would you rate this pain?

my autistic ass who just described my muscle pain from a concussion with a metaphor: a 5 or maybe a 7... POINT FIVE.

the physical therapist: .....

Want to rant about this post, because it makes me seethe every time I come across it. Nothing against anyone who's reblogged it, just want to give my two cents.

A migraine is NOT the same as a bad headache! Migraine a specific neurological condition which is frequently (though not always) characterized by headache, as well as numerous other symptoms. They're caused by some combination of nerve inflammation and uneven vasoconstriction/dialation in the brain. As such, there's no such thing as a "sinus migraine" or a "tension migraine."

Acupressure and massage *may* help to relieve some measure of migraine pain if you can stand being touched long enough, but it won't help the underlying neurological condition, which is more similar to a slow-motion seizure than any other type of headache. I'm sure pressure helps with tension headaches and maybe other types of headaches, as described, but those are not migraines! Words have meanings, gang.

However, in calling these non-migraine headaches "migraines" and then suggesting that they are easy to treat in this manner, the post suggests that migraines are a much lighter matter than they actually are. This, and discussions like this, cause real migraine to be taken less seriously by the culture at large.

Fundamentally, the thing about the original post that irritates me so much is that basically none of the people on it seem to have any idea what migraine actually is. There's been a move in recent years to try to make people more aware that medical language is very specific and shouldn't be abused (ie OCD isn't just "having a messy room bothers me," it's a specific disorder that, if untreated, can massively harm people's lives), which I think is great. At the same time, there's a growing tendency to pathologize everything, from personality tics to low-grade headaches, often in the strongest terms possible. While I'm not for the policing of language in general, I do feel that it's at best insensitive and at worst actively harmful to use specific medical terms in situations where they simply don't apply.

Most headaches are not migraines. Speaking as though they are leads to a misinformed attitude around migraine which suggests that everybody gets them, they're easy to treat, and they're not that bad actually. This attitude has caused me material difficulty so many times over the last nine years that I couldn't even being to tally it.
