Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

Archer teased a little too much and it backfired on him.

Coby was just desperately trying to catch him. :,)

And I bet Archer's plotting how to make it happen again.

I need someone to do the thinking for a game so i could just draw silly goobers and code...

But anyways

SKETCH BLAST💥💥💥

[bleary-tired-crayon]

im so tired of doctors refusing to do tests because of my mental health. i have severe mental health issues and ptsd which can be causes of conditions like functional neurological disorder, which i have. i was diagnosed with fnd, or more specifically the subtype amps, in early november 2024 and that diagnosis does explain some of my symptoms, like chronic migraines, allodynia, muscle weakness, nerve pain, coathanger pain and straight up not being able to move my body sometimes.

the problem is that i have other symptoms that can’t be explained by fnd, i have rashes that come up all the time and usually if my skin is exposed to the sun, i have the butterfly rash that is a classic symptom of lupus, and gastrointestinal issues. i have joint pain that is accompanied by swelling and redness and clicking and subluxation. these are not things that fnd can cause according to my research. i would like to get tested for lupus and a connective tissue disorder because that is what my symptoms that arent fnd seem to aline with.

but my doctors dont want to do these tests because i have a history of mental illness and have limited family medical history.

I CANT WALK WITHOUT ANKLE BRACES OTHER WISE THEY WILL SUBLUXATE. THAT ISNT A NEUROLOGICAL ISSUE.

anyways i hate the medical system and healthcare in general.

btw for those who dont know

fnd=functional neurological disorder

amps=amplified musculoskeletal pain syndrome

allodynia=pain when touched

subluxation=partial dislocation

So, there's this. This is a video made by Aspenfrosten or The Entourage System on tiktok, this video was made shortly after she removed plural kit from her discord server

First of all let's focus on that first part

""you took away my accomodations""

This is apparently something that some people in her server said after plural kit had been removed, she's mocking them for saying this. Now, are they right for saying this? Technically yes but also no

"Disability accommodation is an umbrella term for a range of accommodation or supported living services that are available to assist people who are living with a disability"

Technically by this definition you may be able to consider plural kit a form of accommodation as it does assist systems by allowing them to represent themselves as alters as well as allowing them to look back and know who sent a message. Though on the other hand you may not consider it accommodation because it isn't needed; systems can use sign offs without plural kit and often don't necessarily "need" it. So it really depends on how you look at it, but I will say that Aspen is wrong for mocking these people nonetheless; whatever their reasons are they clearly think of plural kit as an accommodation and are distressed at its removal. Should they demand it back? No, it's her server she can do what she wants, but do they have a right to be upset? Yes. When someone takes away something that may have been helping you in one way or another you are allowed to feel hurt or distressed, but this does not mean you should harass that person for it back.

"i feel like plural kit is too anti recovery"

I feel like a lot of people say anti recovery without actually understanding what it means.

Anti recovery's definition is "A movement consisting of those who oppose what they perceive as recovery from mental illness and/or neurodivergence." Which most people do know, but the more important part is what they consider to be recovery ;

"Recovery in this context does not mean a cure, it simply means coping/living with your illness/neurotype in a positive way."

Which would mean to be anti recovery you would be against anything that makes coping easier and anything positive, you would be convinced you have to suffer and refuse to make things easier.

By this definition plural kit is not anti recovery as it makes things easier for systems; being able to identify yourselves and being able to tell who said what can be important for multiple reasons and plural kit makes that easier, which is positive and not anti recovery.

Further more she claims it "promotes way too much separation between alters" which might be true but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. If you are in active healing and moving towards final fusion perhaps that would be an issue but for those striving for functional multiplicity this separation would not cause an issue

"Some individuals reach a point where all personalities have access to shared memories, set boundaries, and have common goals, making it easier to stabilize emotions and maintain healthy behavioral patterns. Individuals with functional multiplicity still experience the following:

At least two distinct personalities with accompanying unique behaviors

Personalities adapt to unite toward a common goal

All personalities prioritize recovery and treatment"

""the problem in MPD is not the intrusion of part selves as such, it is with the degree of amnesia, conflict, self-destruction, and dysfunction in the psyche. The problem is not the multiplicity, it is the degree of pathological dissociation. In MPD the part selves are personified to an abnormal degree. There is a big difference between someone with active classical MPD, and an individual with healthy multiplicity."" ((Though this did come from DR. Collin Ross, who is not a good person I still felt it might be important to add))

"Some systems choose to stop at what the ISST-D calls resolution, or what may also be called functional multiplicity. In this case, systems may retain any number of independently acting alters. The current rates of complete integration and functional multiplicity may be very similar. A 2017 study (Myrick et al.) followed up on 61 therapists about the well-being of specific patients of theirs after 6 years; 12.8% of therapists reported that their patients had terminated therapy due to achieving stable integration, and exactly the same percentage reported that their patients had terminated therapy due to resolution of symptoms without full integration."

Overall the separation between alters is not an issue, more so the amnesia and conflict, which can be solved in therapy, but even so; not everyone has to be actively working towards healing. For systems who are not in therapy / not actively healing there is no need for them to worry about whether they're "promoting too much separation between alters" because there's already separation and it's not getting better. for those who aren't healing it may just be easier or more comfortable to use plural kit and that's okay.

It is not anti recovery to not be healing, that's stupid, everyone heals on their own time; some systems may not have access to therapy and therefore are unable to safely work towards healing (which would involve going through trauma, which should be done with a therapist) and that is not anti recovery.

Welcome to the Premium Autoimmune Package

Hi. I’m not new to being sick, but I’m very new to being taken seriously. That only happened because my body is currently collapsing fast enough that doctors couldn’t look away anymore.

I live with overlapping autoimmune diseases, but recently I got upgraded to the “CNS involvement” tier. Think brain inflammation, spinal pressure, hallucinations, cognitive fog, and one healing spinal fracture I didn’t even realize I had. I thought it was just my usual back pain. Turns out it was… a broken bone.

I’ve been hospitalized twice in the last month. A spinal tap showed my brain pressure was way too high, 32 cmH₂O, where normal is typically between 10 and 20. My spinal fluid was full of immune cells , 40% of them, when 0–5% is normal. My MRI has white matter lesions. It’s not MS. It likely neuropsychiatric lupus. It might be a weird intersection of multiple things. No one’s totally sure yet.

What I do know is I’m on IVIG now, possibly headed for a brain shunt, and trying to stay out of the hospital. Also, I’m trans and had to pause testosterone because of clot risks from treatment. No, there’s no workaround. Yes, it sucks.

This blog is my space to document what it’s like to be visibly declining after years of being invisibly sick. No pity required. Just here to tell the truth about what it’s like to have the Premium Autoimmune Package, full access unlocked.

Current Working diagnoses:

• Neuropsychiatric Lupus (NPSLE)

• Myasthenia Gravis

• Psoriatic Arthritis

• Intracranial Hypertension

• Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome

Playing bloodborne ttrpg at an event this weekend and I'm struggling so much to make a character, why is my brain so empty right when I'd need it </3

[irkedisaac]

theres one piece of dishonored lore that i want to know more than anything. why did the outsider mark daud?

i don't mean his actual, personal reason though. from what we've seen, the outsider offers his mark to people who have recently fallen from grace or otherwise tasted the bottom of a boot. corvo was framed for the murder of his empress and lover, emily was toppled from her throne by an egomaniacal despot.

but what about daud? did he botch some contract or get backstabbed in the early days of the whalers? what left him sobbing and hollow in the gutter and why was it so compelling to make god offer gifts?

[tittyinfinity]

just disregard everything I say except for whenever I'm being super cool and sososo correct which is all the time so don't ever fucking disregard anything I say

current status: Schroeder’s Cat (alive? dead? 🤷‍♂️) (/lighthearted)

👻

((hi!! the body has been awake too long. braon won’t shut up.

have been awake since 6a on Tuesday (the 18th), when alarm for meds went off. normal routine/timing for day start, but had slept around 3 hours that night, broken into chunks / interrupted. it is currently (as of typing this paragraph) 1:22a on Thursday (the 20th).

muscles sore, brain dull throbbing, physical strength unusually low (only happens if very sleep deprived or body is sick, but have no signs of physical illness).

normally this happens because mania. but not manic, just stressed. stress is/has been improving, + coping mechanisms are overall working.

normally in this state, we can soothe/lull the body to sleep.

we write stories (to process emotions/new knowledge)*; we listen to ASMR that relaxes us; we hum wordless music; we use music temporarily to soothe the body; we eat a snack/meal & drink water.

(* not digital/with pens, which I understand wouldn’t help & could make worse (sometimes penning a poem at 3a helps 🤷‍♂️). this is whisper/soft voice aloud to self. I don’t think I can explain to someone who has never done this how it works/why it helps, but it does.)

but I have deployed all of these multiple times & our brain still won’t stop/rest.

feels like someone added electricity to water, turning our brain into a zap ⚡ zone. or like trying to run on the beach in dry sand, heels digging in at Sonic speed but body barely moving.

we had work both sleep-deprived days (Tues/Wed), on top of 2 classes Tues & a class Wed + a stressful appointment (meeting with our resource navigator). we need brain power & body strength.

yet, the body has been awake roughly 44 hours on 3 not-fantastic hours of sleep. it’s taking a serious toll on basically everything (functionality), especially brain power & body strength.

i’m so tired (literally/fatigue, and emotional/non-literal). please let this call into the void reach any of our deities who can/will help, & also if you see this, please share ideas if you have any 😭

important points of Interrupting Sleep (why sleep = difficult), to summon viable advice:

(using emojis (except sparkles; they’re for lighthearted emphasis) to separate rather than.nimbers because brain having a hard time perceiving/reading numbers)

(also, the standard “go for a walk/drive, do yoga, eat healthier” list has been tried many times & was ✨statistically insignificant✨ or even harmful. please don’t suggest those.)

🔥 PTSD (unmedicated; medications zombified us too much) + clinical anxiety; 🌩ADHD + Sensory Processing Disorder, brain = often ✨improperly* stimulated✨ (hence ASMR); ⚔️ school/academic stress (in process of remedying, stress easing); 🪐physical disabilities that can cause insomnia/fatigue, & some of them have for sure been causing brain fog lately; + ❄ ¿maybe other stuff i’m too tired to remember?

(* overstimmed, understimmed, or ¿seemingly both at once sometimes?)

but yeah, with those in mind + already tried list....if you have ideas (especially if worked for you with similar issue(s)), please help 😭✌

🎶🎵

(am gonna lay down again in the hope this (a) helps release some of the stress & (b) activates/calls upon some ✨spiritual mojo✨ within our pantheons. (and it is now 2:10a as of posting 😭 typing is messy/slow & i keep having to correct typos—)

we will see any suggestions y’all have around 6a (when have to be up / take meds for 2 classes + work again 😭), & obviously can see later in day around classes/work / before bedtime for Thurs night. will be resting over weekend, but would like to not be Dead Yet Alive anymore)

biting the bullet and sending the second "hey I haven't seen you in a while [over 2 years] but I miss you and I'd love to reconnect if you're free some time" message in 6 months and it still sits unopened in their inbox and I have to just accept that maybe as much as I want someone in my life, they don't necessarily have space for me anymore. but fuck, I have to try, right?

Dear Universe in general and anyone friendly and listening and capable in specific:

I would really really like it if the office worker who handles prior auths at my neuro's office could get to mine on Monday or Tuesday at the latest.

Thanks,

A migraineur who is sick of this shit

; seems like whenever we start fronting we can no longer remember what happened in headspace until we start talking about it ?? like, we'll have 0 memory of what has happened then someone will ask like " anyways what've you been up too " and we start getting snippets of memory/more the longer we talk about it ?? and with fronting, since I'm almost always doing so you'd think I have perfect memory of what happens, but there's gaps in it whenever someone else co-fronts/influences with me ? like whenever someone co-fronts, I'm pushed to the side and forget most of what happened, then when they stop co-fronting I'm just. lost. and if they share what happened the memories slowly come back ??

; or I'll have memories of something happening but it's very vague and more like they're < giving > me those memories and less I'm actually remembering .. idk, just thoughts

- myles / blurry ? ( they/them )
