#types of tics

[writing-tics]

different kinds of tics

Tics can divided into few categories: simple/complex and motor/vocal.

Motor tics are movements. Examples: blinking, shoulder shrugging, making faces or gestures, etc.

Vocal tics are sounds. Examples: meowing, barking, saying words or sentences, whistling, etc.

sometimes it can be hard to differentiate between them. I have a tic in which i click my tongue. It is a movement, but there is also a sound to it. I'm not sure whether it's the movement or the sound that makes the pre-tic tension go away.

Complex tics involve a lot of different muscles. They can appear as something done intentionally, but they are never intentional. Examples: saying words or frazes, making gestures, jumping, grimacing, etc

Simple tics are quick, and, well, simple. Examples: winking of an eye, tensing of a specific muscle, sniffing, simple "woo", or a similar sound, etc

Different types of tics can feel very different. They may alleviate the pre-tic tension in different ways. For example i need to hear the whistle in order for the tension to disappear, but I don't need to hear my meowing for the tension to go away.

I may not even notice some of my simple motor tics. but sometimes there is a big cumulation of them and it's awful. Some of the more complex ones feel like i'm being controlled by some alien life force or sth. And some of my complex tics are chill, and idc. It really depends on the day, on what I'm doing and what my tics are at the moment.

the last two paragraphs are based purely on my own experiences. Other people with tics will probably experience things differently.

Kinda hate when people act like acceptance and accommodation is all we need to stop all neurological disorders from being disabling cause there is literally no amount of social tolerance that would stop tourettes from being an absolutely miserable condition to live with

Random headcanon that is simultaneously kind of funny but also makes a lot of sense.

Wesker with auditory processing disorder. He hears everything way too well and this translates to not understanding what someone is telling him because they were facing away, not enunciating enough and there was a fan on in the next room over and two clocks, which aren’t synchronized, ticking in the room they’re in and down the hall.

Having to ask Chris to please repeat what he said when they were discussing something on a smoke break because a “car drove past” and he only caught the last half of that.

Having to hide the lab’s clock in a soundproof box to carry a conversation with William when tired because it was too loud and Will was mumbling.

Also, sometimes your other senses mess with your hearing when you have auditory processing disorder. And he likely has very sensitive eyes so…

Having to tell Excella to wait a minute because the lights are too bright for him to hear anything, dimming them or putting his sunglasses back on and asking her to repeat herself.

Not actually hearing much of anything Chris is saying while in the volcano because it’s too hot and bright and he can hear the rocks melting and Uroboros squirming.

(In DBD) not being able to hear anything above the sounds of the generators during a match. Some maps being too bright to hear the survivors correctly.

If he wasn’t as prideful as he is he’d probably tell people he’s hard of hearing and needs them to enunciate and speak clearly when talking to him.

I had a really hard time picking the last six favorites for this list because there are just so many pokemon I like! After seeing @haveyouusedthispokemon share a lot of these polls, I wanted to include more of my less popular favs like the Chikorita line and Klinklang, but most of the pokemon I ultimately chose made it in for sentimental reasons.

In no particular order, here are some honorable mentions for the pokemon that just barely didn't make the cut: Farigiraf, Mega Absol, Espeon, Dusknoir, Slither Wing, Alolan Ninetales, Sneasel, Xerneas

Their Personality typings: this time with Socionics!

So... same problem. Author's type reflects on their OCs.

And I do not think the in Socionics Information Elements and Myers-Briggs cognitive functions are the same. So do not anticipate the J/P switch.

God I've been craving for social interaction lately... A part of me wishes I had more IRL friends- or that I'd live closer to my online friends so we could meet up and do things more often. I love my parents but I would have been happier spending tonight (and next weekend- can't believe it's already going to be my birthday again soon) with a drink and snacks with buds to talk about anything and laugh and rant and share good times away from social media than in the same, usual, somewhat close-minded family routine. Siiiigh.

Id be asking this in a community if I could (school wifi blocks them) but is my hand shaking uncontrollably for over an hour + my neck periodically throwing itself ticcing?? I need to be like purposely shaking my hand to minimize the rest of the things shaking/twitching (also i took my albutoral so I think im gonna be dealing w/ this for a minuteeeeeee / minute ;[ ) ((this is awsome i already have period cramps + nerve damage acting uppppppp / up)

edit to update: moved to my legs too ;>

[hippopotatoe]

found the perfect dosage and balancing of my adhd meds; takes them routinely but not daily. and after two years my body decides that enough is enough and i absolutely need to develop extremely annoying tics because of it

[mischiefmanifold]

confused how I fit into the spectrum of intelligence and ability

I relate much to borderline ID experiences but have always been considered exceptionally smart good with words pattern recognition detail oriented etc etc

feels like I'm smart only in hyperspecific situations like with special interests. bad at math bad at communication bad at movement bad at thinking

know I have dyslexia dyscalculia autism tics but don't really fit with any

and system make it more difficult to determine place (alters different ages mentalities skills)

considered savant before but not really fit that either

[rock-hoarder]

oh, it didn't match anything? huh. wonder why.

Heyo again Alex! How do the boys feel about the chunk. How do they feel about the extra thicc people.

(open to lil spicy)

hi! :3

most of the boys are chunky to some extent themselves. but they all love thicc bodies.

monsters have never been known to discriminate about body types and appearances in general, and have always cared more about personality. since ofc, the appearance of monsters varies drastically from person to person.

but that's not to say they won't enjoy a specific body type.

they love how soft and squishy thicker people can be. the thicker the person, the better the cuddles.

(under th cut as it gets into the slightly spicy)

they want to hold and squeeze that belly, and those love handles (they'r called that for a reason ;3), and thighs, and whatever other squishy body part you may have.

they may want to bury their face in your chest regardless of size or shape, and ofc your belly too. maybe blow some raspberries while they're there. if u don't mind. :3

most of (if not all) the boys being biters, they love nibbling and biting at that extra soft and loose skin. it's very satisfying for them.

overall, they love it, and they will squash any self hate you might have related to it with soft words of affirmation and all the physical affection.

Good news! I got some of my writing ability back.

Bad news! WHY IN THE WORLD CAN'T I TYPE SHJSHAJSJSN

[citrus-sours]

I'm so. Like please tell me if I'm being insensitive bcuz tbh I've never been diagnosed or whatever, a bitch is too broke to even think about my disorders, but. I've always been adverse to calling myself an OCD haver or at least never considered it on the list of things up with me, considering the only thing that really ever seemed correlated with me is my germaphobia. And like please do not think I mean like, "Tee hee, I'm suchhhhh a neat freak. Omg I go crazy if someone touches my organized and faced snacks" No. I don't mean that shit. I mean when I go to eat food off of a plate in my own house, I have to scrub it and rinse it before I use it even though it just came out of the pantry. I mean, I can't use tap water in anything I eat because of the mental leaps my mind does to convince me the faucet (that I take apart with regularly and KNOW it's bleached and spotless) will poison me or make me sick. Like. Hmm. Well when I put my "Germaphobia" into words. It sounds much more. OCD... BUT LIKE. I DONT THINK IT IS. Sigh
