Do you ever just. Go on walks even though it's a little difficult? I'm very hypermobile currently recovering from two injuries but it looked nice outside so I just went on a little stroll anyway. I'll probably be sore later but it was worth it to not be cooped up inside all day, you know?

And it's not one of those "don't let disability hold you back" things, I think it's more of a "this hurts but I'm doing it out of spite because I want to" situation lol

Anyways I saw the ducks at the pond and I saw some very cute grandparents with their kids so I do not regret my decision :)

i’m going wheelchair/cane shopping tomorrow at a local thrift store, so excited, WISH ME LUCK EVERYONE :3

people talk about genitalia behaving in unrealistic ways in fanfic but i think it's actually the rest of the body that doesn't seem realistic to me. people can reach places without dislocating their shoulders and put their legs any which way without popping their hip out of the socket and like. i realise i'm disabled and also have noticeably slightly short arms for my height but are you sure

I think I misunderstood the song because my leg bone is NOT connected to my hip bone.

"I'll just write in bed," is the Devil talking and I know it but that never stops me from taking my laptop to bed, fully intending to do work, then being surprised when my brain starts suggesting we take a little nap.

Second day trying to play append mode

The first day i had 30 miss by the third try and gave up, this is my second try today :D (the first also had 12 miss). I dreaded it at the start but its quite fun now

Also sadly i need to go to my configurations before playong bc i take screenshots by sliding 3 fingers on the screen and that makes my phone confused on append mode

I love your Subluxation fic. I am obsessed. The writing style is beautiful. I was wondering what inspired you to write a Percy centric fic. And also if you have read A Study of Resonance? Is there any Percy centric fics that you would recommend?

honestly, anon? probably having an irrepressible sense of mischief.

the plot bunny which is now subluxation emerged from a prompt for the @hprarepairfest last summer, which asked for rodolphus coming and going from the ministry during the year voldemort was in charge and becoming captivated by percy and which i thought sounded a hoot.

i couldn’t make it work for the fest because of real life, but i thought the idea was so compelling i couldn’t leave it alone…

neither percy nor rodolphus were characters i particularly cared about prior to starting to write it [which is a particular flop for rodolphus, given how much bellamort i write…], but i’ve always been interested - both in my reading and my writing - in things which delve into the structure of the wizarding world and its institutions, and the weird, neoliberal politics of the series. i like fics which get into the entrenched corruption of the wizarding state - and how this endures under the shacklebolt ministry - and how dumbledore and the order are canonically fighting to preserve that status quo, and how voldemort works really well as a populist figurehead, and how the canon text’s idea that everything is fine once voldemort is out of the way is milquetoast bullshit.

and i also - unsurprisingly, given everything i’ve ever said on this app - really like stuff which gets into the idea that horrible people are not black-and-white caricatures, and can, in certain circumstances, be really lovely. and - of course - anything which explores the fact that love is strange and unpredictable.

so the prompt ticked all the boxes, tbh - with the added bonus that it also allowed me to stick to a principle i think it’s sincerely important to hold in fandom: that everyone should write outside their comfort zone [whether that’s characters, characterisation, ships, tropes, etc.] once in a while, and that the only real way to improve as an author is to do this.

when it comes to other fics, i've not read a study of resonance, which is probably my biggest omission from the percy-verse. i like the following:

the bureaucrats and the argument both by floreatcastellum

hope is a thing with feathers by peachykeener

sink or swim by ziskandra

the last something that meant anything by anonymous

all of these are considerably more sympathetic to percy than subluxation is, but i think the character work within them is really lovely.

i think one of the things i haven’t written about yet on here is that even though i don’t yet have confirmed answers, i still mourn over my health, my body.

for the longest time, this whole time, since these things REALLY started effecting my life (around 10-years-old), i’ve thought it was simply because i’m out of shape. because i don’t move enough. because i’m not strong enough and i have a little too much weight on me. that’s what i’ve been told that it is. and i accepted it to be that for so long.

then i start researching recently, and i have people who go through these things too, and they say this isn’t SOLELY because of that, SOLELY because i’m out of shape, because i’m just a bit unhealthy.

i find out this isn’t all my fault. this isn’t something i dream of correcting one day when i’m able to, when i find out how to start a routine of working out, when i find out how to manage my ADHD and start a routine that will fix everything to do with me physically. i thought for so long that i would one day just get into shape and all these things would solved.

my chronic pain would be solved. my chronic dislocations and subluxations would be solved. my daily pre-syncope would be solved. my blood pooling would be solved. my severe stomach issues would be solved. my days where i have to limp or i feel i can barely move or i can’t take one step without being in horrendous pain would be solved. my chronic headaches would be solved. my fatigue would be solved. my brain fog would be solved. my EVERYTHING would be solved.

if i just got into shape one day. i knew they would be solved if i just did that one day.

but now? now, suspecting chronic illnesses that don’t really have a cure at all, that don’t have something that will solve them. now, it’s not my fault, but it can’t be fixed.

it’s validating, it’s a relief off my shoulders to know it possibly isn’t ALL MY FAULT, but it’s gut-wrenching.

this will be the rest of my life and there will be no cure. no solution. no solving it.

i mourn, even if i don’t have any confirmed answers yet. i mourn, and it hurts.

and i’m angry. i’m angry that no one was curious for why these things were happening. i’m angry that people kept saying it was “only because i’m out of shape and need to move more”. i’m angry that no one else noticed, no one else wanted to connect dots, no one else wanted answers.

i was a child, and still am, and have been struggling, and was only ever told it was my fault. i’m angry, and it hurts.

Okay I'm kind of curious about how universal my experiences are so:

(I was thinking of physical disabilities when I wrote this but tbh if you feel like you count go ahead)
