#yeahhh until lu i hadnt really thought about my lower back problems but as a man like a whole other set of implications :(

[luigilore]

okay okay so luigi thoughts… for some reason i feel like it’s not talked about enough that lu has chronic pain? (maybe out of respect, considering most of the conversation around that is about his rumored intimacy issues) but for me it’s something that hits very close to home bc i’ve lived w chronic pain for most of my life and it does make certain activities very difficult. it just makes me so soft to think of being able to help him through bad episodes, not even relieving the pain because that’s often unrealistic, but just being there to hear him vent and hold his hand and breathe with him. like i just want someone to tell him he’s not alone and he’s adequate as he is and enough whether he has pain or not and whether he can do certain things or not 😭 i just know as a man it must really mess w your identity and he just deserves all the hugs and words of affirmation in the world

OMG hi anon!! tysm for sending this <33 it also hits very close to home for me, i had the same spinal surgery as him also in 2023 😦 so i totally get it… but i agree, ive been mulling over in my head like whether or not to touch that with my writing because it does feel like a form of representation (lol like ill take it) and it’s not a boogeyman and if we’re really going for realism (ik that’s not always the goal here haha) it affects every single aspect of ur life… but i also don’t want to trivialize his pain? idk but this ask encouraged me write about it so ty 😭💗

SO that being said yes i will absolutely write something(s) about chronic pain tbh would love a series idk… ive been jotting some things down and it is lowkey a bit cathartic? and yeah i agree the way it’s portrayed often in basically any media or our collective consciousness is not very realistic especially the chronic nature of pain…

sorry i didn’t answer with a some hcs i might circle back w something later tonight but i wanted to answer this ask 🥺 also i hope you’re in an okay place with ur pain right now anon u also deserve all the hugs and words of affirmation in the world 💗💗
