#possible PTSD

[hulahoopsoupgroup]

sometimes i randomly get hit with a very intense flashback of my ✨️trauma✨️ and now instead of dwelling on it im just like "this will make a good chapter to one of my fanfictions" and i sprint over to ao3 and start vigorously typing so i guess thats progress

[just-a-queer-fanboy]

If you mock people's triggers or use the concept as a joke please know I hate you I tried to look at one (1) clip from a show I love that had an abuse scene and ended up throwing up and haven't been able to stop shaking for the past 30 minutes I fucking hate this

[enter-the-darkside]

woke up in the middle of the night again and the memories come back. The anger, helplessness, and other shit won’t leave. I can’t calm down or it takes me hours to do it.

Odysseus Headcanon: Odysseus never does spar with Telemachus to teach him.

Odysseus spent 10 years at harsh warfare and another 10 in life and death situations. Whenever he is placed into battle he loses control (see all his experience from Ismarus till the uprising of the nobles in Ithaca. Even in Troy he and Ajax were wrestling and both went for the kill needing to be separated). He knows he can never take fights lightly and he knows he cannot control it. Maybe one day tries and pushes Telemachus too hard. Maybe even nicks him with his sword. Maybe he needs Penelope to remind him.

Either way Odysseus would avoid sparring with anyone ever again after he returns from his redemption trip and he never spars with his son

Not So Faded Memories 👻✨

~

My friends and I were talking about Mario being afraid of anything with portraits or (maybe mirrors?) considering he's been trapped not once, twice, but THREE times now. I think he'd have major PTSD moments and a little paranoia haha.

Also sorry for my piss poor handwriting it was late and I should've done the text thingy but wasn't up for it rip 💀

[claybyte]

strongly dislike the idea that harry would become an auror after the war. give the boy a break. he deserves to live in a little cabin in complete isolation for a few years to discover himself

i always hate when people say thag the uchihas are more sensitive because theyre predisposed to mental illness as if theyre dramatic or respond disjointedly from their circumstances. im inclined to say theyre some of the only characters who behave believably in accordance with their trauma. like sasuke was literally psychologically tortured when he was 13. do we think thats gonna turn someone into a football loving go getter? they use characters whose trauma barely gets shown as a standard when its not that the uchiha are dramatic but that naruto just doesnt get much focus on the trauma that he should undeniably have.

Sasha using the title "Lord" in RiAAU after taking over Toad Tower and presumably killing Grime and stealing Barrel's Warhammer from him, and other political and military leaders assuming she's a man because, well, Sasha is a gender neutral name, so they hear Lord Sasha and assume they're talking about an adult male toad warrior. The second most powerful person in the known world and only real threat to the Leviathan reign!

Cue princess Marcy fleeing Newtopia and her father seeking refuge with his worst enemy hoping to offer information and political levarage in exchange for protection, perhaps even offering herself in marriage to transfer eventual inheritances and whatnot, and she finds out that Lord Sasha is not, indeed, a dark and domineering toad warlord, but a beautiful, terrifying girl her age that looks like her and oh god her poor little lesbian heart can barely take it.

cannot explain but

did anyone else get super “just make sure that you’re following your heart, not christopher’s okay?” vibes

…from maddie’s “and if there is something you need to tell eddie.. you will. just, in your own time” ?????

because they hold the same amount of weight for entirely different reasons, yet they both talk about the confusion of feelings…

[swan2swan]

In the original storyboards and script, Brooklynn was supposed to have a panic attack while feeding Gordon the Compsognathus in one scene; she's pretty cool with him in the final cut, though. In another possible draft (from the novelization), she lures a Nasutoceratops out of its pen with apples, treating it gently. In the final show, she dives to push a companion out of the way. Regardless, she still drives through dinosaurs and seems to be without fear.

Obviously, when Red comes out and menaces her in the studio, she's terrified. But then...she's playing with him. She's confident and more than capable as soon as she knows how he works. She's still shaken when she sees him show up on Soyona's orders to execute and underling, but her fear is understandable, because she's still watching a dude die, and it's unpleasant and horrific. She's still not wholly shaken by dinosaurs.

But here? Seeing Red terrifies her. There's no laser pointer, no summons, he just sneaks up behind her and surprises her--and she goes ifull panic mode. Drops the case, falls on the ground, crawls backwards, unable to voice words. She fully regresses, all of the confidence and adjustment and logic lost to total panic.

Because something changed between the time she got attacked and the time she met Red...or rather, she met someone else. Someone who reminded her, face to face, of who she used to be. Who she once was. And what she lost.

Resident Evil Characters with A Neurodivergent Partner

Chris Redfield

Chris has no idea what he’s doing. Like actually. The kind of man to white-knuckle his way through diagnosed PTSD. But that’s not gonna stop him from trying to be the best partner he can be.

Does amazing when you tell him you do best with clear communication. You mean he doesn’t have to try and figure out what non-verbal signals you’re trying to give him? Because you’ll just tell him? He’s delighted.

The kind of guy to keep a list on his phone with all of your preferences and needs. Like, down to the minutiae that you were pretty sure only you cared about. Has notes like “likes x brand chips, but NOT y flavor. Do not buy y flavor. You’ll make them cry”

Fucks up a lot early on in your relationship, but he just needs a little guidance

Jill Valentine

Jill will be your #1 defender in everything. Like, everything. Even if she doesn’t get it. Goes off on anyone who gives you a hard time for your accommodations without a second thought.

Jill is also reading up on everything. After you explain things to her she goes out and buys every book she can find on your diagnosis, even if she knows she won’t have time to read them all.

A safe place to lose control. Jill takes meltdowns and bad episodes in stride (not that she can extend that same care to herself, but I digress), and is always prepared with regulation tools when necessary.

Makes no secret about the fact that she hates anyone who’s ever made you feel bad about your diagnosis and will fight them if they ever meet. Yes that includes family members. It’s on sight with this woman.

Rebecca Chambers

She’s already got a life of being autistic under her belt, she’s got this.

Knows all the lingo, all the best places to get accommodation tools, and already has the menu for that new restaurant printed out for you to look over together.

The kind of person who won’t bother anyone else about her own needs, but the second someone she cares about isn’t getting their needs met, she’s making sure that changes.

Keeps basic AAC cards and stim toys in her bag at all times. Will add noise-canceling headphones, safe snacks, chew stims and anything else you can think of if asked.

Leon S. Kennedy

Swears he’s neurotypical, but you’re pretty sure he’s undiagnosed with something.

Happy to provide deep pressure therapy anywhere and everywhere. Just pulls you over silently when you start getting overwhelmed/anxious and squeezes you in a tight hug. Or flops his whole body on top of you like a big dog if you can lie down.

Great at working through meltdowns and bad episodes. Like actually amazing. Always meets you right where you are and works down from there.

Keeps a close eye on you while out in easily overstimulating situations so he can see if things start to get to be too much. The kind of guy to show up from across the venue like “hey I saw your body language change minutely into something uncomfortable, do you need a sensory break?”

Definitely spends way too much time and money on your special interests and hyperfixations. Like, way too much. Shows up after every mission with something related to it as a gift (even if he just grabbed it from the airport gift shop) and gets overly excited to take you out on dates related to it.

Claire Redfield

Like Rebecca, she’s got this shit down. No, she doesn’t have personal experience, but she has been in therapy since she was a child and is legitimately excited to learn how best she can help you.

Hits you with a “tell me more” or “how can I help?” anytime things start to get bad or overwhelming. No, she won’t take “I can handle it” as an answer. You’re in this together or not at all.

If you live together, she’s taking on home renovation projects constantly to make things more accessible. Stim-friendly furniture, low-sensory areas, clearly marked cabinets or open shelving to be able to see important things, a big wall calendar with anything important going on. Just ask and she’s going to the store to get supplies. DIY queen.

Calls or texts on a set schedule whenever she’s away for work so that you’re able to stay connected. Also has your number set to come through no matter what with a loud ringtone so she doesn’t miss it if you reach out, even if she’s asleep.

Will throw hands for you. Big “excuse me, they asked for no pickles” energy. Has actually gotten you both kicked out of establishments because she wouldn’t let someone’s ableism go. She’s not sorry.

Carlos Oliveira

Co-regulation king. Is constantly pulling you out of any thought spirals with silly shit to help you feel better.

Please info-dump to him. He says he just loves to listen to your voice, but also secretly finds it fascinating.

Another lover of deep pressure therapy. Big squeezes and bear hugs all the time. However, this does mean that he’s not the best person to be around if you’re touch-adverse, because he just can’t help himself. He loves physical contact.

Like Chris, probably fumbles a lot early on, but he takes care of any mis-steps fairly quickly so long as he’s told what he did wrong.

Probably the kind of dork to wear a “I love someone with (diagnosis)” t-shirt while out with you, despite the fact the he knows it makes you cringe

[bakingpotat0s]

ok so since i've been told i should post snippets of the jayvik fic i'm in the process of writing, i shall. (also please let me know if this is an accurate-ish portrayal of ptsd. if not, PLEASE lmk what i should do to fix it!!)

Viktor reached for him, and

Oh gods he’s back in that room and I won’t fail I won’t fail I will NOT- but he did and he was and now Viktor was somehow here but not “here” and Mel was going to die and Viktor was going to make Mel one of them-

“The arcane stirs within you,” Viktor sounded fascinated, but all Jayce could think was he needed to do something- he lifted his hammer and fired- he hit Viktor - oh, GODS he hit Viktor - but he didn’t - couldn’t - think about that now, in this moment, he needed to attack I won’t fail I won’t fail I - missed. He missed. His pulse thundered in his ears, his mantra using the unsteady beat to keep time. Viktor pushed him to the table, the doll tilting its head.

“Your mind has become rigid, Jayce. Fear clouds your judgment.” Jayce looked around, panting, chest heaving. At the table, at the room, at Mel. Silently pleading, begging her to go, run, get out, leave so she wouldn’t be hurt. Their eyes connected. He nodded. She hesitated, then nodded back.

studio lan WHAT IS THIS

they just casually drop this on twitter with no context except for "summer begins"

but considering that this is Link Click and also considering the fact that this show does NOT know happiness, what IF???? AUGHH GJSHK OML LET THEM BE HAPPY STUDIO LAN PLS-

*stressful overthinking begins*

[megamindsupremacy]

love the idea that stan, pre-realisation, would just put any “my brother-“ thoughts that popped up into the ‘shermie’ category into his head

my brother… the genius … always won the spelling bee… we were so close… i learnt to fight because i was uh. protecting my…. (much??) older brother? damn was he a wimp or something

stan, calling shermie up post everything: do you happen to remember like. a flying dinosaur from our childhood or is this another ‘wrong brother’ situation

shermie, who was very much not there: what.

aksdjfhsd yeah!! also I imagine there being a ton of angst potential because Stan remembers ("remembers" my ass, he doesn't remember shit) himself and Shermie as being fairly close as kids, because everything involving "my brother" is conflated with Shermie, until the Mystery Incident got him kicked out. But Shermie wasn't super close with either of his brothers because of the age difference, and also because I hc him as not being home very often and getting the hell outta dodge as soon as he was old enough. So poor Stan has an imagined closer brotherly dynamic with Shermie, who isn't maintaining this dynamic into adulthood because to him Stan is his younger brother who dropped off the face of the earth (sad) at age 17, popped up a few times in newspapers to get arrested and/or scam people, and then dropped off the face of the earth again at 27.

true love heals.
