Welcome, come in!

Hey, you. Yeah, you.

We are Eclectics and Elements. You've probably never heard of us before, but we've been around for a while. Established in 2018 with the intention of feeding our spiritual journey, we've been trudging along. We've survived a pandemic, multiple mental breakdowns, and so very many retrogrades.

Borne of a teen's idea to tinker away and appease the ADHD crafting gods, we've grown and developed a special kinship with the world around us. Based out of Rockford, Illinois, USA, we harness the energy of a spiritual uprising circa the 1950s and try channeling that back through who we are.

You'll mostly be dealing with Ronin, the angsty think tank and primary creator of Eclectics and Elements. You'll also hear about Auntie Rose, our tarot reader; the Supervisor, aka Anakin; the Assistant to the Supervisor, Poseidon; and the husband, Jordan, who assists when we do our show season.

Here, the world exists in five discernable elements: water, earth, fire, air, and spirit. This account will mostly serve the 'spirit' aspect - designed to gather and catalogue information with the intent of sharing it with the world.

Here we focus on ourselves. Here, we feed our elemental, and strive for balance in the world around us.

Care to join us in our journey?

p.s. - follow our other socials too! the list is here.

[sskk-manifesto]

It's somewhat surprising to find out skill users exist outside of Yokohama too lol. The kind of “in theory, I know that's how it's supposed to be; in practice, that doesn't feel true at all”

[butdaddyilovehimmm]

i love the idea of experienced dom!harvey and newbie sub!mike. like, harvey guiding him, reassuring him, talking his first time through, and mike feeling completely safe and trusting him, because it's harvey.

《Tw, suicide mention》

Shawn, giving a suicidal teenager advice: And, here's a very important thing, listen to me here, alright, never- are you on good terms with your dad?

Teenager: Not really, it's uh, kind of complicated

Shawn: Okay, then yeah, this is important, if you are feeling like you wanna kill yourself NEVER under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES call your dad, okay? Don't do it. Trust me, it will *not* go well.

while youre wheelchair posting i wanted to say that you talking about why you decided to continue using one really changed my own perspective on my disability! i get awful chronic join pains usually triggered by standing, and although im taking the physical therapy route (im hypermobile, so thats the first option,) ive recently considered that using something like a wheelchair or a cane wouldnt be so wrong of me if i feel i need it

I tell people that I just want to be able to do the things that other people do. I want to shop in a store for as long as I want, without hurting. I want to walk around the mall and look at things. I want to go somewhere without having to plan ahead where I will sit down and how long we'll be waiting in line. I want to work a full day in my store, walking from the back room to the front, guiding customers to the different areas, and I want to do that without being in pain.

My wheelchair lets me do that. My body does not let me do that.

My advice to literally everyone who thinks they might need it is, "just get the damn cane." Canes are among the cheapest mobility aids out there. They come in insanely cool colors and styles. There are ones that fold up when you don't need them. You can get one for $10 and you can just go into Walgreens and buy one. Worst case, which is also best case, you just spent the cost of a trip to McDonald's on something you don't use. Worst case, which is also best case, you find something that lets you be yourself doing the things you want to do for longer and with less pain. Worst case, which is also best case, you see that it helps you and it is the gateway into getting a more supportive mobility aid that lets you live a better life. Literally every worst case scenario you can think of is also your best case scenario. Get the cane.

I went to Goodwill on my lunch break just now and they had a rollator for $8, so we're going to experiment with Pink+Rollator in the upcoming days. Currently I'm okay with walking short distances but I really can't stand for more than a couple of minutes, so bringing a device that's also a chair with me seems like it'd be a good step in my mobility.

But yeah, to everyone who is going "hey, I think I could benefit from a mobility aid," this is me, a disabled person, telling you to go for it. You didn't need my permission, but you have it anyway. Get the mobility aid!

A wheelchair is just a chair with wheels, and you didn't need anyone's permission to sit down at a rolling desk chair. You were able to look at the options given to you by the world and choose that, in that context, sitting down on a chair with wheels was going to be the best for your body and your personal convenience. You can look at your body and your environment and make statements like, "I should not be standing for 55 minutes in this line. I can only stand for x minutes," and that's normal. Abled people make decisions like "I'm not going to stand for this long" or "I'm not going to walk this far," all the time. But when you add, "so I'm going to bring a special chair with me, so that I can wait 55 minutes in this line, like all the other people in the line," suddenly it feels different. But abled people are allowed to always be making judgements for when they're pushing their body too hard, and they make decisions all the time about when they're going to take advantage of an aid or take a break, so the only thing that changes when you're disabled is when you have to decide to use it, not at all that you have to use it. People get to pick what shoes they want based on where they're going, and that's just picking a device to aid your mobility as needed for a certain environment. Using a mobility aid is a totally normal thing, except that we've artificially labeled them as "normal person accommodations" and "ask for this and you're disabled."

Disclaimer: obviously bring it up with your care team if you are interested in using a mobility aid (and you have a care team). A LOT of doctors are hesitant to tell young people that they should be trying a mobility aid, but will say you'll benefit from it if you bring it up. If you have a PT then they're likely to have input about what are the best options and how to set them up. Also some doctors can get you mobility aids for free. Even if the cane you get from your doctor is black and boring and doesn't fold, you can still go to the store and get a cane that's fun and cool and then use the one the doctor gave you as a size reference to know how to set the one you just got. Hey, free cane.
