I swear I have read your big post regarding Peter Parker's neurodivergence and why it is best to avoid labelling him, but he definitely has a weird brain
Can't find it and feel kinda sad about it cuz I deeply related to it
i know exactly which post you're talking about and i can't find it either! i've raked through my archive, and it's just - nowhere to be seen. i think tumblr eated it (it happens.)
really, tumblr's search functionality is so so useless, i don't know what to tell you. there are plenty of keywords i can search to find it that post, but the search functionality actually just does not work!
undiagnosed audhd-addled peter parker, my darling, my light, my life, my everything.
i think peter parker's such an interesting creature to write, because a lot of people will point to a certain behaviour about him and say "this is an autistic thing, right?" but a lot of those behaviours are actually, in my head, tied to certain traumas in peter's life too.
people say "oh, the food thing, peter's a picky eater because he's autistic" and yes, absolutely. but also it's tied to his trauma with his parents.
peter gets overstimulated, and yes, it's an autism thing, but also he was bitten by a radioactive spider and his senses are dialled to 11.
it's a similar case i've found for myself, too – where a lot of friends i have kind of diagnose me because i have autistic traits, but actually - i'm hesitant to claim the label or pursue diagnosis because, actually, i know where these certain behaviours come from, and they come from certain traumas. there are events i can pinpoint in my life and say "yep. that's where this behaviour comes from."
so - i think there's a lot of overlap between trauma and autistic traits. the brain is very complex! i think the reason for that overlap is maybe as simple as the fact that people with autism and people with trauma are both doing the same thing - developing behaviours to protect themselves or soothe themselves. so - i think it's nice to be able to see a character like peter parker, who may or may not be autistic, but recognise behaviours in him and see yourself in him.
people who go undiagnosed for whatever reason - people who are really good at masking - so good, in fact, that they have no idea they might be on the spectrum - everyone and anyone at all can look at peter parker and recognise themselves. because i think we discredit the thought that every single brain does the same thing! develops certain behaviours in order to survive. every brain has that same software - we've just all been faced with different hardships that we need to overcome, and that's were all the differences come in.
autism is a spectrum, i guess - everyone falls into it to some degree. and i think events in your life probably push you along on it. but i don't know, i didn't study brain science. probably what i'm saying is very stupid and uninformed. of course there's brain chemistry involved. but i know people in my life living with autism and certain events in their life have exacerbated certain behaviours or made coping with it a lot more difficult. so maybe trauma is a catalyst.
#a lot of my traits have been exacerbated lately and i remember it was much easier for me before#and some of my friends have said “oh it's because you've been masking too long and now you're facing autistic burnout.”#and that made sense to me i think.#but then i found out about the stress thing. me overproducing stress hormone. and that's a very physical thing.#and that explains why i've been overstimulated more than usual lately. and why everything feels like too much.#and i wonder how many of these traits of mine are going to subside once i have lamar removed#and it makes me wonder a lot of things. and it's so weird how much your brain is tied to your biology.#i wonder how much i'll change. i wonder how i'll feel. i wonder if i'll still feel like me. i wonder how much me is me right now.#and how much of me is being altered by weird freaky hormones. who am i?? who will i be??#i'm almost looking at this as like. a superhero origin story of some sort. like this is my spider-bite moment. maybe.#will i be different? will i cope with things differently?? now that my body isn't fighting something anymore??#maybe i'll be normal. i don't know. i don't know.#i don't know what it'll mean for me.#but all of these things mean i relate to peter parker in a certain kind of way#i don't think you have to be diagnosed with autism to recognise and empathise with those traits i think#i think everyone can see themselves in peter. and i think that's the benefit of having characters that aren't diagnosed.#because there's so much overlap in the human experience. and certain feelings aren't exclusive to just one group of people.#peter has such a rich identity actually. it's an autistic thing. it's a queer thing. it's a jewish thing. it's a trauma thing.#there are so many overlapping parts of peter's identity that inform who he is and how he behaves and it's never just one thing.#it's a product of all of his things.#just like me! just like everyone.#so me? i guess i can be a million things. you can explain what i am in a million different ways.#a hundred different psychologists can all come up with different ways to explain why i be the way i be.#i don't think it's something that can be simplified.#sorry wow. i'm really going off here in the tags.#i hope people don't think i'm stupid. i don't know brain science. i'm just philosophising as usual.#sci speaks

glad to see you posting a bit more again! hope you're feeling well + having a good spooky season. what are you doing for Halloween?
Thank you! Without getting into too many grody details, I have some lovely doctors who've helped me get a drug regimen that has my symptoms way down. So while I still have Your Digestion Is Completely Fucked, Seriously Your Shit-For-Brains Intestines Can't Do Anything Right To The Point Where It Fucked Up Your Brain (the official diagnosis) it's waaaay more under control than it was a few months ago.
And thank you to everyone who messaged me support. When I say that on multiple occasions you all made me cry actual tears while curled up on the floor of the bathroom, I do mean it in a good way.
#about the blogger#personal#shoutout to dr. s and dr. c - you're both awesome#okay i did also have some awful doctors who lost my appointment and wrote the wrong info in my chart and accused me of pot addiction#and did the 'sounds like you just need to reduce stress' routine#until i was seriously tempted to scream WHICH OF US IS A PSYCHOLOGIST AND WHICH IS NOT YOU FUCKING GASTROENTEROLOGIST#but dr. c & dr. s are the real ones

an idea I've been tossing around: what if the counselor was carolina's godfather?
#rvb#red vs blue#the counselor#aiden price#agent carolina#look the parallel between the counselor + the director to church + tucker is there so this isn't an insane take#< says the guy who has repeatedly talked about price's potential as a character and how he likely genuinely cared about HIS freelancers#this post is inspired by a scene from bones where bones is playing peekaboo with her and boothe's kid and stressing over her not getting the#concept of peekaboo/the object permanence and the psychologist guy starts doing it too and then either boothe or bones basically says#peekaboo sucks and the psychologist guy replies with something like “it has nothing on hide and seek”#like i saw that scene and i immediately went 'that's allison the director the counselor and baby lina'#one to be doctor leonard church hammering in that competitive spirit and sense of superiority into a literal baby is completely in character#his little girl IS better than all those other babies and he won't let anyone tell him otherwise#allison doesn't see the big deal she's a happy healthy baby and just because she doesn't get it yet doesn't mean she's falling behind#allison being the single most normal individual in the church household

mmmnnother idea too
#sneak peek#hyperfixation says esau cast in dnd style- but i don't think i'll do em the way i did nezha's doodle cuz that was a horrible way of shading#at least for me personally KEKW-#emelin rambles#to bed i go#i wanna try sleepin early for once#also i find it funny how as a dental tech i know why my jaw is hurting rn#muscle stress would be my guess cuz it's just the side of my jaw around the area of my left mandibular condyle#so i'm currently tryna force myself to physically relax more to try get rid of it quicker cuz it's annoying when tryna eat at times#also i was at an info meeting about a study some university students wanna do with autists regarding noise cancelling headphones#was hilarious considering i immediately began to critique the way the meeting went by telling my psychologist about#how they had the audacity to give a full group of diagnosed autists the OPTION to pick between showing up on a monday or tuesday#cuz we were all fuckin confused and one girl even had to ask like 2-3 times about how tf this would work and when we're supposed to come in#like how dare you tell us we can pick a day- that sparked so much lowkey panic and i could tell by the confusion of all- including myself#just give us a solid day DHFNDFHNDHFGNHDGH

If you know a kid that is more than 4-5 years old and still can't control their bodily functions, and accidentally pees and/or poops themselves often, i don't give a fuck: you got to get them medically checked, and if nothing is physically wrong with them, you got to take them to talk with a psychologist as soon as possible. It could be a serious indicator of high level of stress, and possibly that the kid has gone through/is stil going through a major traumatic event. Especially if the kid was previously able to control their bodily functions, and now they seem to have "unlearned" this ability. Especially if these episodes take place during the same time/in the same and/or in very similar situations, and seem to indicate a consistent pattern.
#this is clearly not the usual content of this blog but it's important to me to just make this post#this is no joke#every psychologist will tell you that this is a huge alarm spy for high level of stress and/or a traumatic event in a kid#tw mental health#tw trauma#tw childhood trauma#tw childhood abuse

I feel like we as a society have not actually come that far in terms of it being accepted to talk about mental health openly. In online spaces it has but not in real life and especially not in work places. What has become more accepted to talk about is stress specifically. To the point where I feel it has almost become a catch all for 'mental health'. I feel like stress is the only acceptable mental health issue because then at least you were a good worker, you worked so hard it broke your mental health so that's ok you deserve rest and treatment now. But try talking about depression, anxiety, ptsd, bipolar etc etc etc and it's still pretty much something people judge you for, out there in the real world.
#i've been asked about a million times#by coworkers and friends/family and healthcare professionals if i'm stressed#related to my insomnia i mean#but never about other aspects of mental health#so if you answer no to stress it's basically interpreted as me answering 'my insomnia is not mental health related' which is not the same#i've also looked for a psychologist specializing in trauma near me#but there's only like 3 billion stress and work related psychologists in my town lol

Actual conversation between me and the coach I get to talk to through work, after I told her that I have impostor syndrome:
Her: how long have you worked in this field?
Me: seven years.
Her: and you still have a job.
Me: yes.
Her: you work in a relatively small company. People would notice if you were bad at your job, and it would NOT take seven years.
Me: ... Yeah but... I mean... I know I am somewhat competent at what I do. But I... I fake so much.
Her: what do you mean you "fake"?
Me: well... Like, in meetings. I have strategies for the social bits. Not like I follow a detailed step-by-step plan or anything, but there are these patterns that I follow. And also I often find myself struggling to reach my knowledge while in a meeting, so I have to either say I'll get back to them or improvise something. And some days, if I'm having a bad day or low energy, my usual strategies don't work as well, or at all. And then I feel like everyone can see through me, and see me flounder or stumble over myself and realize what a fake I am.
Her: ... So you have strategies to cope with things that are difficult for you as a neurodivergent person.
Me: yes...
Her: that, to me, doesn't show that you're an impostor. It shows that you are incredibly brave, strong and intelligent.
Me: ... What
Her: you wake up every single day and choose to face your fears, to challenge yourself and strive to develop as a person. You have come up with strategies to handle these fears, strategies which *work*. Sara, that's not what an impostor does. That's what a *genius* does.
Her: an impostor wouldn't work as hard as you do. Most people do *not* face their fears everyday and come up with strategies to manage them. And impostors definitely don't.
Me: what the actual huh
Me: ... But... But I don't feel like I have a choice. And surely people wouldn't hire a coach if they weren't interested in developing themselves?
Her: I coach a lot of clients, Sara. Believe me when I say that even those who do want to grow and develop themselves very rarely struggle with the sort of difficult issues that you do.
Me: ... Oh.
Her: that being said, I will absolutely get to the bottom of this impostor syndrome and help you manage it. Trust me, I will get you out of that mindset.
Me: ... ok 🥺
#Nagnerd#This coach is damn better than any therapist or psychologist I've ever gone to#It's the same coach who has managed to get me to wake up at 6:30 am every single work day and not suffer because of it#Also managed to get me to *actually plan* my life and not stress through it in complete chaos.#Impostor syndrome#Adhd#Autism

really just nice when you call someone on the phone and they are competent and understand the problem and no-nonsense about it. what relief.
#adding the medical protection society advisor to my list of Competent Women I Trust#(currently includes my physio and my psychologist)#(really just coincidence they're all women i think)#it's not a BAD problem it's jsut a WEIRD problem which i think she got. and said really straightforwardly what i can do.#i wasn't overly stressed about it i just didn't know where to start and now i do#rowena adventures

have to wake up early tomorrow to drop my sister at the station, then get my ultrasound done, and then go to my job interview after. feels like a good night to listen to the cure
#mine#had to go home from work because i was in so much pain#the doctor was soooo nice#he just listened to me and was very respectful and didnt brush of any of my concerns#and like. even when i told him about the drugs i do he was chill about it. we were talking symptoms and i kept saying yes i experience that#but i thot it was stress. and he said to me 'it sounds like youre under a lot of stress rn' and then asked if id been diagnosed with anxiet#and then i said to him well no. but im a psychologist and i feel i have ptsd but theres no formal diagnosis#i just watched him write it on my chart <3#ive cut down on my smoking though he straight up thought i was lying about only having 1 a day (some days 2 some days 0)#but he was nice about it#at the end i was like '.............thanks for being so nice' and he smiled#the weird part was when i was speaking and like#idk i guess i anticipate that people will cut me off so i paused and looked to him#and he just looked bck at me and nodded and waited for me to finish before speaking#just the little things#it was actually surprisingly validating to hear him say that he thought i was pretty stressed out#like i feel it but i always worry im just being a baby yknow#he was asking about shortness of breath nausea heartburn etc etc#and i was like yeah that has increased lately but I wasn't sure if it was related or just stress from work#and he was like dude I think you need a couple days off#definitely coming back to him

So apparently my friend is a fan of Jinu and I started explaining QSMP to her after I found out.
Her comment after hearing about the eggs(+the misadventures of misclick duo):
"Okay, so, everyone is insane. Just, f*cking batsht insane. Do they have a psychologist? Get them a psychologist."
#Me: I mean. BadBoyHalo is an ordained minister and he's just as insane as the rest of them- (mutters) maybe more-#Her: Oh okay I think I got it. The reason psychologists and ministers are so stressed all the time is because everyone is f*cking insane.#Me: (slow dawning understandment of where this is going)#Her: So they decide to go just as insane so they won't be stressed anymore!#Me: GIRL-#Her: SO THIS GUY'S GONE INSANE TOO JUST TO COPE!#ME: *GIRL-* I mean you're not wrong-#qsmp#jinu#지누

getting mad at people online for writing fanfiction will not make real, living pedophiles stop assaulting real, living children. it will only make people dislike you. this is a very painful thing to learn when you are young and think everyone builds their personality around Gaining The Respect Of Their Peers, and that telling someone they're a bad person will make them be good in the way you expect, but it is something you must learn so you don't become isolated and miserable.
you are always allowed to block people, tags, and posts. you are always allowed to curate your experiences. you should feel in control of your feed on Tumblr. but you cannot accuse people of being evil because of their fanfic. you are not helping anyone when you do that.
#I still think some popular ships are fundamentally disgusting and abusive but also. I have them blocked.#because I value my own mental well-being too much to stress over that shit#it is not hard to just hit block and if it is then please talk to a psychologist about strategies to keep yourself safe

--whiney rant and vent--- starts at tumblr but descends into my life.
Fucking tumblr!! *grabs tumblr and aggressively shakes it*
Some new hell update has made it so every time I reblog a post, i go right back to the top of my dash and have to scroll half a mile through the posts Ive already seen to get back to the ones i havent yet seen and want to see!! And even with the scroll bar it takes ages and breaks the loading and makes it nearly genuinely unusable!!!
But Im still going to even though it sucks, because tumblr is my designated scroll and look at characters time and be with mutuals. And yes this is a very small whiny thing to rant about, especially given the state of the damn world, but with the rest of my life imploding in many numbered crisises that even one of would be apparently considered a fairly major thing to have to deal with im now realsising because through massive amounts of avoidance id just gone "this is fine" despite being very reasonably banned from the word fine by 5 different people and then me, and then others going 'wow that really is alot' semihorrified, and I awkwardly laugh because i am used to this and its not that bad and whatever stupid shit i tell myself to keep going.
So yes, whining about tumblr because at this point its a load bearing coping mechanism. And its somewhat a last straw because i am barely hanging on as it is but ill deal with this like everything else because there isnt any other options.
#astra stuff#ill survive this i just got to be dramatic about it first#and some of this stuff i dont think im actually being dramatic about because its really not fine#yknow the stressed and terrified with the whole trying to move out and figuring out how possibly can i because at this point i really need#chronic illnesses being chronic annoyingly#trying to hold everyone together and then myself too#dumb panic attacks because im on a hair thin trigger but shrugging them off halfway through because i dont have time nor energy for this#the whole fucking cpstd thing which apparently psychologists dont hand out like halloween candy#so there really is a problem here given meeting the diagnostic critera#and what happened to me being just so incredibly Fine!#you can probably at this point see exactly the reason why i write scott like i do#okay apparently more dumb rant in the tags#and im getting really sick of the goverment social whatever services fucking hold music#plus the daily attempt convince my stupid emotions that nooo everyone does not despise me in particular that doesnt even make logical sense#ugh#cant exactly say im fine but i am getting help for what i can

ok but imagine a au where damien john and paul all team up together to fight all manner of unholy monsters powerpuff girls style. …the powerpuff priests…
holy hell yesss!!!
I imagine both Damien and John would be "Ah Yes, a Normal Tuesday Morning of My Miserable Life" and Paul would actually have an aneurysm at the thought of exorcising real demons
#faith game#faith the unholy trinity#midnight mass#the exorcist#the exorcist (1973)#john ward#paul hill#john pruitt#damien karras#seabury's free thoughts#ask and ye shall be answered#((Mystery Incorporated type beat where they travel across country answering Church calls for exorcism))#((Damien is their designated leader cause he's older and most experienced (Paul is the oldest but he's the least experienced)))#((Damien as group 'leader' basically means he has to stress over the rite of exorcism while keeping both Johns from running off))#((John would genuinely not react to any demons approaching them. He'll just be there like 🧍♂️cross time 🧍♂️))#((I think Paul would be the one who freaks out the most cause it's his first time coming into contact with real demons))#((John tried to exorcise Angel and Paul tried to convince him it's an angel to which Damien puts his psychologist glasses on and said No))#((RIP to Lisa. Joe. and Millie. Their lovers are dumb traumatized sad and pathetic and miserable old priests))#((Damien would unironically fight a demon and punch it in the face. Bro did not become a boxer priest for no reason))#((John would too but he's too sad to do it))#((Father Garcia tries to recruit John at the end of Chapter III and John's like 'oh uh I already have a demon-slaying group))#((and proceeds to show two of the most miserable priests in the world))

I was trying to find info on why the hell I am so astonishingly lazy like genuinely if I don't feel like doing something I literally don't do it and postpone it for eternity but anyways I found this article on procrastination and almost had to stop reading because I was about to cry. During commute lol. I literally check every single box for everything at once wow! Maybe I am unwell after all 🙂
#maybe my attitude to keep on going no matter what and keep thinking that others have much worse really is catching up with me!!#maybe keeping on living as 'normal' and not acknowledgimg the elephant in the room is not a healthy coping mechanism! maybe I'm but#surely breaking down!!#anyways. I'm getting a psychologist appointment on Monday for sure like at least let me be productive at work. please.#i have avoided it for some time because frankly therapy is great and everything but like i know the causes for my stress and anxiety#no amout of therapy is going to make the money problems go away or the m*mmy issues or the impending sense#or generational hopelessness. for one i need to win the lottery. for the other there is literally no solution. for the final one.... 💀#blabla#pms not helping!!!!
