The oil hourglass' always fascinated me. If only I was able to have one...

Stimming!

What is stimming?

In it’s most simple form, stimming is a repetitive body movement that self-stimulates one or more senses in a regulated manner.

What types of stims are there?

Visual Stims

Flapping hands, blinking and/or moving fingers in front of eyes, staring repetitively at a light, pressing on closed eyes to create visual effect [pressure phosphene], …

Auditory Stims

Snapping fingers, tapping on objects, listening to the same song on a loop, rolling Rs, “cat noises”, repeating words, putting hands over ears, singing, clicking tongue, humming…

Tactile Stims

Scratching, rubbing the skin with one’s hands or with an external object, pinching the skin, putting thumb inside fist, sucking thumb, rubbing hands/feet together, petting preferred textures, tying knots/twirling string, twirling/stroking hair…

Vestibular Stims

Moving body in rhythmic motion, rocking front and back or side-to-side, spinning, pacing, walking in circles, walking on tip-toes, jumping up and down…

Taste Stims

Licking body parts, licking an object…

Smell Stims

Smelling objects or hands, smelling other people…

Rhythmic Stims

Tapping on surfaces/objects/self, clicking fingers, making repetitive vocal sounds, bouncing legs, foot tapping, hand flapping, clicking pens, …

There are a lot of other stims as well that don’t necessarily fall under the category of “repetitive” such as pressure stimming, which are still just as valid. Basically if what you do serves the purpose of the stim, you can call it a stim.

Why do people stim?

People stim for all different kinds of reasons. They may stim when they are happy or excited, when they are stressed, as a part of their normal body language, as a way of communication, as a punishment, as a response to something internal or external, as a compulsion, to focus, to self soothe, etc. Stimming can be a coping mechanism, but it can also be so much more! No matter what reason someone has for stimming though, it’s important to remember that all stims are natural and normal.

Who stims?

Anyone that finds stimming useful, whether consciously or subconsciously, can stim. This includes neurotypicals, but mainly stimming is seen as something that neurodivergent people do and it occurs most frequently in:

the autism spectrum

sensory processing disorder (SPD)

Tourette’s

schizophrenia

OCD

people that experience mania/hypomania

people with ADHD/ADD

people with anxiety

etc

{Greetings! Care for some tea?}

Just wanted to say your great Gaster!! (Btw is it okay of I reblog stuff from this blog? Like answered asks? Because this is a Roleplay one and idk if i should or not. Ur art is super good btw!!!)

Of course! go ahead! You can reblog whatever. The artists I do have credited, however I think most of the artists have deactivated or no longer draw the gasters. So feel free to interact!

[dancetale-gaster]

I need to do more Gaster tease audios....

i miss doing those.

[dancetale-gaster]

Hey Gaster, what’s the void like to you? Have you meet someone there, or are you alone? If you are alone then *hugs Gaster* I’ll try helping you find someone.

{I am... Quite.. alone.. really.. though i have made things to replicate what i can recall of a... friend. Or at least .. someone who knows what i have... to deal with... But overall i am fine! No need to worry about me.}

*GASP*

“Its sinday…”

“Its time for chemistry.”

[dancetale-gaster]

Gaster t.*y are the one that know wher you are and are ging to help you out.

ays in the void

{Help me? How so? I am sure i am fine where i am. traversing betwixt the void and the overgrounds make for some really nice trips.. however.... Im not sure what you mean?} He seemed confused. as he wasnt always in the void like some others might be, he would assume this anon assumed the same. Which he replied in turn. 

[dancetale-gaster]

Gaster what happened to _*^m, wait do you even remember T_ e^?

{Now.. who is this.. them... you speak.... i.... i dont recall... anything... i... my memory.... im sure it has faded... who are they?}

[dancetale-gaster]

Gaster how did you get the scars on you face and don’t they hurt

Gaster would look up slowly, 

{Ah, these? I hear most of us get them when we fall into the void, we become, weak. but strong on our own terms... I however... Got them while in a performance. I was younger then, but my bones were. and still are, brittle. I was no longer greeted with the respect i used to. my Dances faltered, and i had no time to recover. these scars are also just as permanent i fear....} Gaster would sadly look away.

[dancetale-gaster]

Gaster if I may ask; what’s your favorite dance? And with hue do you like to dance it?

*Was that a color joke?*

{Ah... I.. I do like the waltz... i usually dance alone. though i know a few contenders that wouldnt mind dancing with me. unfortunately neither of them made many attempts to desire that.}

[dancetale-gaster]

But as most Gasters are and their ways of silence, this other Gaster would in, turn respond  from a distance, {How... inquizitive....}

DT was sure that this gaster seemed willing to say hello. As this exchange seemed to interest the two of them in their curious ways alone. He would come into view in his Ballroom attire, instead of his labcoat. He seemed fairly quiet, presumably more shy than this other gaster, but he figured he would give introductions as they were well due. 

Unfortunately he hadn’t a name for himself, but he assumed that being of counterparts Names werent needed. Bowing slightly he would only say {Greetings}

A familiar shape of a gaster would look around the corners of this blog. "hmmm How Intriguing. Another one of me.... and here i thought i was alone..." He would muse to himself. He tiptoed away to possibly never be seen again~ @dancetale-gaster (creative hellos o/ )

Cornelius was quite intrigued by this new presence.  He chuckled to himself, his counterpart looked friendly enough.  He turned to face him, only before it seemed that he had gone. “How curious…”
