So let’s talk about POTS syndrome for a second yeah? There is a common misconception that this is just a “uwu fainting disease” and I really seriously need combat this idea lol.

I have diagnosed POTS syndrome. Yes I have fainted before. But it doesn’t happen as much as you think. In fact in the 3 years I’ve been diagnosed I’ve only ever fainted twice. Most of my symptoms include, sweating profusely, fatigue easily, heart palpitations, over heating/getting cold easily, getting dizzy, nausea, blurry vision, chest pain, shortness of breath, anxiety and stress. Sometimes I just feel really sick. My toes turn purple sometimes. I can run a mile sometimes and be fine, but some days walking to my bathroom without my cane is a struggle.

I have good days and bad days. But this is a disease that had genuinely ruined my life for a time. I couldn’t do anything when I first started showing symptoms. I couldn’t walk to the bathroom without wanting to keel over. Forget classes, forget doing sports. Or exercising. I literally built myself up from ground zero.

I might seem pretty healthy? But honestly? I still have as needed mobility aid to help me get around so I don’t get too tired and over exert myself. I have to stay hydrated or else my symptoms will kill Me. If I skip a meal? Oh yeah I’m done for. I take steroids to keep my blood pressure up. I take these steroids once in the morning and once before any strenuous activities. I was on heart medication for a time. There is no cure for this. It’s an entire lifestyle change. Everything is affected, your nervous system, your brain, your blood, skin, anything you can think of, there is a POTS symptom for.

Like this disease genuinely ruined my life and I had restart from scratch. I have only recently been okay and starting to do more. But i still have bad days.

This isn’t just some random fainting thing that is really cute. And honestly it does make me angry to see it wrongly portrayed in media. Because this genuinely upheaved my life and I had to quit a lot of stuff so I could be healthy. If you’re going to write a character with POTS. Do your research, know how this actually affects people. Because it’s not some silly little disease that people can use to just.. create a good whumpy scenario.

It’s a fucking struggle and I hate having it. I’ve had to shape my life around it. It’s not just fainting. It’s feeling like your body is going implode, feeling like you might die. Pardon sounding like a dick, but if you’re going to write a character with POTS do it right.

Sorry this is a rant and I might lose some followers for it. I just.. it’s something I feel passionate about. And it’s something that has genuinely affected my quality of life.

If you have questions or want to know more. Feel free to ask. But don’t talk to me if you’re just going to argue or berate me for anything I’ve said here. Thanks.

Creepy/intimate Whumpers are my jam I use them far too often. But oh well.

So an odd question for the whump community.

What is that one trope that is your "brand" (as in, you write/draw it all the time, you love reading it, and the trope always bleeds into your stuff without you realizing)?

Mine is the "used as bait" trope 😆

昨日の @chicoshigeta さんとの インスタライブ、 たのしかったー☺️✨ ご視聴いただき、ありがとうございました💛 ・ Chicoさんがまとめてくれた 昨日の内容が的確すぎるので、 下にコピペします。 ・ そして、 わたしの全部何周もしている SHIGETAコスメの一部をドドンと 写真に撮ってみました。 ・ 毎日の習慣がいい香りすぎるのは いちいち幸せだし、 スキンケアは非の打ち所がないとすると 吹出物やら肌トラブルのいろいろは もはやわたしの食生活かストレスだ！と 問題解決に至りやすいので 大好��です😂 ・ ということで、 スキンケアも暮らしも仕事も シンプルにしておくと トラブルシューティングしやすいんだよな、って SHIGETAを溺愛している理由を 考えていたら 昨日の続きを 1時間くらいでにそうです😏 ・ あとは、 質問いただいた部屋のライティングも 3枚目に掲載しましたー。 そして一緒に写っている NYCに住むわたしの姉のような存在 #下條ユリ ちゃんの アート作品も合わせてチェックしてもらえたら うれしいです。 ・ ・ #Repost @chicoshigeta with @get_repost ・・・ みなさん、こんにちは🌞！昨晩のサンシャイントークはいかがでしたか？今日の夜9時まで私のStoryからご覧いただけます。 伊藤菜衣子ちゃん　@saikocamera のリモートワークのお話は、そもそも働き方だけでなく、自分が望む家族のあり方、生き方をまず整理整頓することから始まる、ということ。わたしはどう生きたいんだろう？ 「働き方を整える」ことは、まず一番最初に自分への問いかけから始まるのです。 菜衣ちゃんの言葉を借りていうならば、「自分の棚卸しをする」こと。 何をやりたいかを探すのは、結構ハードル高いなーと思う人は、何をやりたくないかを洗い出していったら、きっとやりたいことに繋がるよ！と言っていました。 自分をなぜなぜで掘り下げまくる。 例えば、-なぜ家時間が苦痛なの？家が嫌い？狭い？じゃあ広ければ良いの？東京で暮らすよりは広い家？最終的に自分でも驚くような回答を導き出せる可能性ありです。 またその回答に出会った時「腑に落ちる」ホッとする、ストンとするのを感じるでしょう。 菜衣ちゃん曰く、リモートワークによって起きる現象とは、こんなに頑張ってるのをきづいてよ、とか頑張っているフリ（サボってると思われるんじゃないかと思われたくない）、あの人機嫌悪いからこの質問はあとでしておこう。とか、そういう一緒の空間にいる時に気にかけていたことを気にする必要がなくなる。 結果は平等。 すごく無駄がなくなる感じがします。 また時間が「同期」から「非同期」へと移行。みんなちょっとずれた時間軸で仕事しているから、レスがすぐ来ないことがあたりまえにもなる。 また、今までなんとなく共有できてたことができなくなるわけですから、「お互いに理解できていないよね」をベースにしてコミュニケーションに向かうことが大切だと言っていましたよね。自分のコミュニケーション力を上げること。それはつまり、相手がしそうなミスを先回りして、メールに記載しておく。。そもそもどういう意図で、この意見をつたえているか、、など。そうすれば、３回やりとりしたメールが一回ですむよ！ということ。 などなど。本当に学びが多かったー！菜衣ちゃん、本当にありがとう！ 家庭内で夫婦二人でリモートワークをされている方もいらっしゃると思います。（そこにお子さんが加わる場合も！）夫婦どちらの仕事も甲乙はなく大切です。うちでは話し合ってざっくり時間割を決めてます。なんとなく。。。というのが一番自分の首をしめる結果になります！女性が家のことを全てやって仕事をする→これは、夫婦二人でどういう家族を作りたいかを話し合う必要アリです！ 前代未聞の家族密時間。話し合いでしか解決法は見つからないのではないでしょうか？ 早速私も菜衣ちゃんからいただいた教えを取り入れていきたいと思います！ 次回のトークは23日、新月トークまた追ってお知らせします！ #サンシャイントーク #伊藤菜衣子 #暮らしかた冒険家 #chicoshigeta #sunshinetalk #instalive #インスタLive https://www.instagram.com/p/B_O_FIZlL8V/?igshid=15o7r37fc6er2

Hi there, just recently found "watch out for the lucky" and it was amazing. Pretty much read it in one sitting.

I have a few questions, sorry if they were asked before(or they are spoilers for something you plan to write)

1) how did the citizens react to finding out cute guy use to be watcher? Was their an official statement or did they just let people wonder?

2) how did the rest of boatem react to grian now being scar's sidekick?

3) if/when boatem decides to go back to being heroes will they be doing it solo(and group up for bigger fights), small groups(so hot guy and cute guy one group and the rest another group), or just as boatem again?

4) I assume impuls is going to have to, so will pearl and mumbo also change their hero names so everyone has a different one or will they keep theirs?

First of all, so sorry this took me so longer to answer! I just got back to my computer lol. Anyways, AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH (/pos) Such good questions!

Ill try and answer what I can, but! There is a book two in the works! So in interest of not spoiling everything I might have to be a bit vague! But thank you so much for asking I love you (/p)

1)That is definitely something that is covered in the next book! But I can say that it was a bit of a mixed bag of reactions. Mostly because the public was more excited that Boatem was back. And if anything, CuteGuy being Watcher just made them trust him even more. There was an official announcement made, especially because the number one Heroes were taking a break, and the public deserved to know! The only negative reactions were by people who feel the Grian is too much of a mystery to trust, but most people still love him.

2) That is something that will be covered in book two! Its an... interesting reaction <3

3) Its a bit of a spoiler but since you asked and it doesn't really take from the plot of book two, Boatem does stay split. They wanted to find their own way as superheroes and as people. But who knows, maybe they'll get back together one day... (:

4) A few keep their names, and a few change! You'll have to wait to find out who! (:

Thank you so much for asking questionsss!! I love answering stuff and never hesitate if you have anymoreee!! <3<3<3

Okay, I see a lot of takes on what Scar should be and imma yell into the void abt it.

Scar should be Pluto! Hear be out!

I saw a bunch on people fighting for Mercury cause it's the closest to the Sun. Then Earth, cause of its rotation around the Sun. But I feel like Scars whole arc shouldn't be revolving around Grian/the Sun.

I've also seen the Void being thrown around and while the loneliness aspect is certainly there, it feels almost too big. Scars win didn't feel big, it felt alone.

Pluto, with its mythology connections to the underworld and death, also has the irl implications of constantly being misjudged and misaligned in planetary boxes. Pluto is *also* known as the lonely planet! An outlier among the solar system. Sure he's there but "should he be?" He's not the correct look. Not the correct size. He doesn't fit the mould of a planet. And Scar doesn't fit the mould of a winner. He's a villain in the story. He's alone.

And it's not just the "being the villain" that doesn't make him fit (pretty much every other winner was the villain of the season), it's the fact the people underestimate him. Even as the villain people wrote him off as "Oh it's just Scar." Nobody teamed with him until the end.

Nobody expected Scar to win. He's never predicted to make it far in the games. I just feel like the undertone of Pluto, the icy planet that isnt even planet is kinda chilling. It feels like quite exceptance on Scars part. He was the last to live and finish the task, yet nobody to celebrate with, even if there was someone there. He was alone before and after.

It feels like being accepted into the solar system as an outsider, but having been there from the beginning.

This was kinda all over the place, but Pluto truthers RISE!

Hihi I was reading your wonderful fic Watch Out and lemme tell ya it's one of my favorite Hotguy/Cuteguy fics EVER. You're so amazing and I think you're so cool for deciding to share your story and talent with all of us <3 /pos

I do have one question on something that confused me a little bit- in the chapter (15) where some of the Council break into Grian and Scar's rooms, they said "let's try the Lucky one's room" or something, implying they know about his powers, but later in the story we learn they don't know about his Luck powers, that Scar had managed to hide that information from anyone who wasn't Boatem. Was that on purpose? Did some of the council know and Grian had forgotten that or overlooked that?

Anyway as I said I really love your story and the creativity you put into it is chefs kiss. The final battle scene in ch 25 in particular was one of my favorite parts of the whole fic, and I love how you wrote the codependency of Grian and Scar and how them clinging to each other was part of how they got so far in the end, how they managed to win. I love that they're in therapy now, and I love that Boatem is back and how they're all still codependent with each other even if it's not the most healthy thing in the world. I loved the arc where they learned to let other villains and heroes help them and to trust them. I LOVE Dadsuma and Evil X. My beloveds <3 I love everything about Keralis he's so underrated in your fic, Iskall too, I care about them so much. I also love Grian and Scar's characterizations (and in particular I really love reading about Scar's kind of insecurity/imposter syndrome when it comes to Boatem but also how much he loves them).

I hope you are having a an excellent day/night and taking care of yourself and are well /All pos

and I hope this ask didn't bother you (I get nervous sending asks :P)

Hello hi! Hi Helloo!!! Thank you so much for reading and loving my fic!!! And thank you for the question!!

The Council did not know about Scars power, if was more of a lucky guess on their part. When Scar "got away/overlooked" during the whole mess with Boatem, the Council wasn't happy even if they didn't know he was there. Scar was the beautiful face they needed to keep the public calm, but truthfully they wouldve wanted Scar gone to! So, when calling him lucky, it wasnt cause they really knew of his power, they were just saying he was lucky to be alive still.

Grian made the connection to his power, since Grian knew it at that point!!

Thank you so much for reading and talking the time to leave such nice compliments TwT And thank you again for asking a question!!! Never feel worried to ask me things!! I love talking and also talking about this fic!! <3<3<3

[too-much-sunshine]

hii! i just wanted to come to your page to say that WOTFL was one of the most INSANE fics i've ever read, and in a good way!! i have a select few fics that changed my brain chemistry and this is definitely one of them. tbh i chose it cause it was tagged with scarian, but i stayed cause the PLOT??? like for most of my waking hours all i could think abt was the story and what was going to happen. i loved how you portrayed all the characters (scar especially!! but also grian, and all the others). i will say i shed a few tears but they were so worth it, i'm so glad i found WOFTL, im absolutely in love with it. thank you so much for writing it!!

Oh em geeee!! Thank you so much I'm so glad you liked it!!! You are so nice!! I can never thank you enough <3<3

You are just in time since I just released the first chapter for book two!! I hope you love that one just as muchhh <3<3<3

My favorite trope ever is hero x villian. But a twist. Neither of them are a hero or a villian. It’s a hero x villian story, but it’s not about bad vs good. It’s about two very flawed people working for flawed systems, or going against flawed systems.

It’s just.. a story about people. Just people.

[too-much-sunshine]

Is this a good time to admit that the only reason Scar eyes in WOftL are 'honey brown' is because I totally forgot that Scars eyes are canonically green? Yeah... maybe I should keep that to myself...
