; They're So Gentle What. Me And My Siblings Would Be Flinging Each Other Across The Room Like Soggy

; they're so gentle what. Me and my siblings would be flinging each other across the room like soggy bread 😭 /pos

I wonder how long this will last..🤔🤔

; does anyone else get that weird out of body moment where everything is fuzzy and like feels fake and then suddenly it's " normal " again but you like feel like a completely different person ?? And like you type differently and you even feel weird about your name or identity and it's like eugh okay what am I doing again ?? Who are these people ?? Oh right right .. And this happens loads and it's constantly " swapping " through these different very fleshed out alter egos or whatever idk man .. Very confusing but please tell me I'm not alone. There's like multiple ppl bobbing around up there for everyone .. Right ☹️☹️ ( there being my b r a i n ) /genq

; and I have no regrets

; when someone makes a sexual comment to me I have the option to either go ( in a dramatic theater kid voice ) " WOOAHHHH !! I AM A MINOORRRRRR !! AND EVEN IF I WAS AN ADULT IM UNCONSENTINGGFGGF <333 " or very blankly " hah lol no ! " or alternatively " AUTOBOTS ROLL OUTTTT !! " if my back isn't too sore.

I have … a tip.

If you’re writing something that involves an aspect of life that you have not experienced, you obviously have to do research on it. You have to find other examples of it in order to accurately incorporate it into your story realistically.

But don’t just look at professional write ups. Don’t stop at wikepedia or webMD. Look up first person accounts.

I wrote a fic once where a character has frequent seizures. Naturally, I was all over the wikipedia page for seizures, the related pages, other medical websites, etc.

But I also looked at Yahoo asks where people where asking more obscure questions, sometimes asked by people who were experiencing seizures, sometimes answered by people who have had seizures.

I looked to YouTube. Found a few individual videos of people detailing how their seizures usually played out. So found a few channels that were mostly dedicated to displaying the daily habits of someone who was epileptic.

I looked at blogs and articles written by people who have had seizures regularly for as long as they can remember. But I also read the frantic posts from people who were newly diagnosed or had only had one and were worried about another.

When I wrote that fic, I got a comment from someone saying that I had touched upon aspects of movement disorders that they had never seen portrayed in media and that they had found representation in my art that they just never had before. And I think it’s because of the details. The little things.

The wiki page for seizures tells you the technicalities of it all, the terminology. It tells you what can cause them and what the symptoms are. It tells you how to deal with them, how to prevent them.

But it doesn’t tell you how some people with seizures are wary of holding sharp objects or hot liquids. It doesn’t tell you how epileptics feel when they’ve just found out that they’re prone to fits. It doesn’t tell you how their friends and family react to the news.

This applies to any and all writing. And any and all subjects. Disabilities. Sexualities. Ethnicities. Cultures. Professions. Hobbies. Traumas. If you haven’t experienced something first hand, talk to people that have. Listen to people that have. Don’t stop at the scholarly sources. They don’t always have all that you need.

; * snatches * js did it, very good very good.
