Give me more Uranus content please!!! The theoretical collision! Him not remembering X, ANYTHING !!

I have another idea, I know it’s kinda widely accepted that Uranus uses a cane but what about him having a walker?!

Just something like this

Where he can store all his art supplies in it, so he can just take pull them out when every since with his walking problems it can be hard to carry them alone with him (or mostly depends on how his feeling, some days being worse then others)

NOT ONLY THAT! He could sit down on them as his moons curl on up his lap or hood as he quietly paints, listening to the soft chatter of his moons, Idk if this is really accurate to his relationship with his moons but I’ve seen other people write about this and I’m stealing it >:)

(I think it’s from Thunder_shadows? But I don’t remember what story it was in)

He could also paint it and add stickers (maybe even his own homemade stickers!) to it with his moons and Neptune always adding their own until Uranus notices, to make him smile on bad days, knowing at least someone out thy ere cares about him.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot over the past week and I really want to draw Uranus in different morbidity options (I don’t really know why to call them lol)

if you use music to cope with anxiety, depression or to help with your ADHD (like me) reblog, I'm trying to prove a point to my teacher

The #trypanophobia tag is for:

trypanophobic people to discuss our mental illness and how it affects us

tips from trypanophobic people on how to deal with trypanophobia

The #trypanophobia tag is not for:

images of needles or art with needles in it (the tag you're looking for is #trypanophobia tw)

headcannons/fanfiction/other fan content

Trypanophobia is:

severe distress when exposed to needles

a mental illness

an anxiety disorder

life-altering

difficult to treat

Trypanophobia is not:

just a fear

treatable through exposure to needles (exposure therapy is done by the phobic person, not to them, exposing people to their phobia without their consent can cause trauma that makes it worse)

uwu cute nervousness to romanticize and apply to your blorbo

What Not to Say/Do to a Trypanophobic Person

I've seen a lot of ignorant people (most of them healthcare providers) over the course of my time as a person with a severe needle phobia, so I've compiled a list of things that have made my blood absolutely boil and either don't help or actively worsen my phobia.

Saying "it's just a little needle", "it's not that bad", or anything else that aims to minimize the situation. Phobias are irrational, but the people who have them are not. We're fully aware of how ridiculous phobias are, you don't need to remind us. It's infantilizing and likely to put us on the defensive, which can raise anxiety/adrenaline.

Calling us babies or weak for having a phobia. Phobias are panic disorders. We can't switch them off. Unless you think having a mental illness is a weakness (which I hope you don't) it's illogical and hurtful to apply this kind of thinking to us.

Physically restraining us. Physical restraints are bad. Really fucking bad. If done wrong (or even when done correctly) they can seriously injure or kill someone. If a person with a needle phobia is attempting to leave the situation, they are engaging the "flight" part of "flight or fight". So what happens if flight becomes unavailable? We fight. I've injured people who have restrained me in the past. It's not conscious or intentional, it's pure instinct. It can also be traumatizing to be exposed to something you're terrified of and forced to undergo a procedure, even if you agreed to it previously. Let me repeat that for emphasis. Even if a person previously agreed to undergo a procedure, it can still be traumatic if they attempt to retract consent and aren't allowed to.

Trying to scare us. When in a calm state we might decide, on our own, to weigh the risks and rewards of getting a procedure involving a needle done. And sometimes our anxiety about not getting a procedure done outweighs anxiety of getting the procedure done and we decide to go through with it. But if you attempt to scare us into a procedure involving a needle, we can tell. And once we figure out what you're doing, we can no longer trust the information you're giving us. I've known doctors who have exaggerated or straight up lied to me about what would happen if I didn't get a vaccine. Even if you're 100% truthful, tone matters. Don't act concerned, angry, or like you're talking to a child. Give us the facts in a calm, professional manner, and let us work on the rest.

Insisting on talking about needles even when we've asked to stop/said we're done. If you're discussing a procedure involving needles with a trypanophobic person and they say anything to the effect of "I don't want to talk about this anymore", the conversation is over. It doesn't matter if you just had some great revelation or if what you have to say is really important. Keep it to yourself. We usually won't cut off a conversation about our phobia until it reaches a point where we can't handle it anymore. If you keep pushing, you might trigger a panic attack.

Exposing us to needles without our consent. "But exposure therapy!" I hear you saying, and to that I respond "shut up and fuck off, you don't know what that is". Exposure therapy is when a person with trauma, OCD, a phobia, or another disorder that can be triggered chooses to slowly, in a controlled environment, expose themself to a trigger. Exposure therapy can't be done to a person, only by a person. For a trypanophobic person, this might be looking at pictures of people getting injections. When they've had enough and are getting too stressed, they can simply close the tab and move on to something less stressful. Sending someone pictures of needles, taking them to places where needles might be, pretending that you're going to jab them, those things aren't exposure therapy. That's emotional abuse, repeatedly exposing someone to something that you know triggers panic in them for your own amusement.

Shaming us for the "damage" we could be doing. Herd immunity is important. It's important because it protects those who can't be vaccinated, including some of us. I was at a point a few years ago where I physically couldn't enter a room where I knew a needle was going to be used on me. My body just wouldn't move that way. Since physical restraining isn't an option, if someone can't bring themself to get a vaccine on their own due to a phobia, they're vaccine exempt. End of story.

Shaming us for not actively working on recovering. First of all, there's no way for you to know if someone is working on their phobia or not. Second of all, there are a lot of valid reasons to not be recovering. The main one that comes to mind is external stress. When my needle phobia was at its worst I was in 10th grade, the hardest grade at my school. I was barely staying afloat as it was. Treating your day-to-day stress has to come before working on a bigger, less present issue.

Asking us when we're going to get over/grow out of it. Phobias vary in severity and ease of management. Some people are never able to manage their phobia. Some people learn to manage it very quickly. Some people benefit from simple techniques like deep breathing and distraction, some people need more advanced help. Some people are able to participate in exposure therapy, some are too overwhelmed by their trigger to even try. Like any other mental illness, phobias are complicated and no two phobic people are exactly alike. Applying your expectations of recovery on us doesn't help and can vary from annoying to hurtful.

Ignoring or arguing with our accommodations. Disabled people, as a general rule, don't ask for accommodations we don't need. If a person with a phobia is asking you to perform a procedure in a different way than you're used to, it's more likely than not that this is the only way they can get it done. For instance, I have to have blood taken from a vein on my right hand. The vein on my inner elbow, the one they usually use, is hard to find, making the procedure take longer and causing me more pain. The only reason I'm able to get the blood work I need to manage and research my chronic illness is that I discovered this easier way to do it. People who are doing exposure therapy are in an extremely fragile state of mine, often having or on the verge of having a panic attack. If things don't go exactly as planned it can be traumatic and reinforce the phobia even more. Do what you can to make the procedure as calm and quick as possible. If something goes wrong accidentally, apologize and be kind even if the person seems irrationally upset over it. We're dealing with incredibly high adrenaline, our bodies are sending us signals that we're in mortal danger. In addition, as I mentioned before, some people also can't do procedures involving needles at all and will need to be excused from those procedures. Pushing a person with trypanophobia to discuss needles can cause them to panic or become defensive. This isn't something we have control over and it's not something we can be talked out of.

Reminder if you don't get vaccinated because you have trypanophobia you are not a bad person. Medical exemptions from shots should include people who have a panic disorder that causes the intense "fear" (for lack of a better word, because we know we won't die or be hurt logically and are still panicked anyway) of needles. You deserve herd immunity. The distress of being vaccinated is reason enough to not be vaccinated, and people who don't have medical conditions, trypanophobia, or any other valid reason to not be vaccinated should be protecting you by getting the little pokes they can handle.

Trypanophobic Whumpee ✨

Whumpees who hide their wounds to avoid medical attention, out of fear rather than pride.

Whumpees who scream and sob and plead when Caretaker brings them to the medic/doctor/hospital.

Whumpees who are too quiet and submissive, terrified to act out.

Whumpees who are jumpy and completely snap at the first sudden move.

Whumpees who lock themselves in the bathroom to delay the inevitable.

Whumpees who want to be sedated but not with a syringe/IV, anything but that.

Whumpees who can't stop reliving the trauma of being physically restrained in the past.

Whumpees who try to flinch back, to run away, and find themselves in Caretaker's gentle but unyielding embrace.

Whumpees whose hands shoot out in self-defense only to be grabbed and held by Caretaker.

Whumpees who have to tell Caretaker, voice hushed, about their phobias, and watch the horror and sympathy spread over Caretaker's face.

Whumpees who only trust Caretaker to get anywhere near them, even if Caretaker is holding a needle, not knowing why they feel safe when they should feel scared.

****

Caretakers who can't decide if it's better to tell Whumpee where they're taking them or if it would be a mercy to keep the secret just a little longer.

Caretakers who know about Whumpee's phobias and feel the crushing guilt as they force Whumpee to live through their greatest fears for their own good.

Caretakers who don't know what's worse, the utter betrayal in Whumpee's eyes or the resignation once they stop fighting.

Caretakers who have to tell Whumpee to Don't look over there, eyes on me, you'll make it worse for yourself if you look.

Caretakers who know if they should stay quiet, tell Whumpee what's happening, soothe and distract with words, show them how to breathe deep and steady.

Caretakers who scream just as loudly as Whumpee when the medics/nurses have to hold Caretaker back from fighting the ones who are holding Whumpee down because Caretaker knows it's wrong.

Caretakers who apologize and praise Whumpee, even- especially- when Whumpee knows they were not brave, but they got through it anyway.

****

Tw: Needles, trauma talk(?), intense trypanophobia talk, panic attack(?), other stuff I probs forgot, suicide talk (minor)

Feel free to ignore if u r not interested this is just me venting and seeking other opinions-

I cannot stress enough how absolutely terrified I am of needles, like to the point were I start hyperventilating, crying and having a near panic attack. I am not sugar coating this.

Anything that has to do with needles instantly makes me feel pain in my arms, neck and thighs (phantom pain maybe?) I cannot tell you how many times I've cried in the course of a single day even thinking Abt needles.

I have to get a shot in 2-3 weeks. Guess what, I've cried four times ever since I was told that. Usually I have this mentality where everything's gonna happen eventually just get over it, but when it comes to this subject I'd rather kill myself than face whatever needles are thrown at me.

I was talking to my friend (it's only one friend for those who are confused) when I mentioned needles because I had just gotten the news, my friend who gets like multiple shots a month because of allergies during spring and summer was like "oh ya that's right" they were used to it.

When I told them I was scared they said it didn't even hurt and that I would be fine, trying to comfort me. Well you see, form my experiences and memories, needles have hurt like a fucking bitch. And I would do anything in my strength to stay as far away as possible from those fuckers if I could.

Now I told them as much and they recommended maybe talking to someone, but you see, I'm a prideful creature who doesn't like people see me cry and will do absolutely everything to make sure people don't see me do so.

So now I'm out here on tumblr asking u all if anyone has had similar experiences and has any ideas of how to beat the fear because I am in desperate need of some help over here.

Keep in mind despite being the confident friend I am shy in nature and talking to people and risk wasting their time makes me want to throw myself in a ditch. Also, I am absolutely inconsolable for like three hours before the shot and inconsolable during it to the point were people have had to delay the shot taking because of it. And hour after the shot, I am no longer crying, but I will most certainly start laughing like a fucking maniac and cry as well.

People always tell me that "it didn't even hurt that much" "see your fine" yes, yes it did fucking hurt, no, no I am not fucking fine. I will absolutely snap at anyone who says otherwise because what the fuck, I would rather cut myself than re-experience that shit.

Also know that I tense up without wanting to during the shots or blood taking and once lost consciousness when having my blood taken. Getting shots have given me both headaches for days and my whole body feels colder, I always end up looking half dead or half asleep. My body is either still as a statue or shaking like a lead in the wind right after.

Ok so maybe I do have problems-

me.

I am actually begging some people to just let some spaces exist untouched by real-world issues and horrors.

Like I've lost count of the amount of times peaceful game or fandom servers have been ruined by people stampeding in with political rants, bitching about world issues, demanding internal activism, demanding vent channels so they can whine about their shitty parents, ect.

Like. Respectfully. Not every single space has to be inclusive of and welcoming of outside topics. The real world sucks. We don't needed to be reminded of that absolutely everywhere.

quotes i plan to use in my book with patroklos and achilleas "when grieving his lost love, Achilleas cut his long hair into an uneven cut, for his lover" "If my heel were not my weakest point, you would be mine" Patroklos appears in Achilleas' eyes, and as the poisoned arrow takes effect on his body he says "Come find me, I will look for you". "You're like nature personified, The sun-drenched hair, the sharp angles, and soft, earthy tones. It's perfect." "-And like paper weighing me down he rested his hand on my arm" "We never had to say I love you, we already knew and it would be a dull statement" My mother would say to me "My dear boy I am so very sorry for your loss, I am sorry you lost your world" "I would rather die being yours than live being theirs"

these will be in my book im writing just wanted to share this here

Do you sometimes think about how during the first time Patroclus sees Achilles, his own father tells him “That’s how a son should be.” and how years later, Patroclus dies on the battlefield in that boy’s name and armor, after having effortlessly tricked two entire armies into thinking he’s Achilles?

Yuu, watching Jade and Floyd fight each other: Ah yes, the Cain instinct.

Cater: Cain instinct? What's that?

Yuu: The indescribable urge to cause some sort of physical harm to your sibling.

Cater: ... That's a thing?

Yuu & Lilia: Yes

Yuu: Lilia, warn someone- wait, you're an only child. Where would you have seen this?

Lilia, flashback to Malleus and Silver fighting each other when they were younger: Oh, I have first hand knowledge.
