Hello!!! I hope you don't mind doing this one,

Can you help me write a traumatized person who's having trouble talking because of past trauma? (They can still interact with people, but only with signs and movements, not voice) and also a little anxious

Tell me if you need more details =)

How to Write a Mute / Non-Speaking Character

-> healthline.com

-> verywellhealth.com

-> descriptionary.wordpress.com

Types of Mutism:

selective mutism: having the ability to speak but feeling unable to.

organic mutism: mutism caused by brain injury, such as with drug use or after a stroke.

cerebellar mutism: mutism caused by the removal of a brain tumor from a part of the skull surrounding the cerebellum, which controls coordination and balance.

aphasia: when people find it difficult to speak because of stroke, brain tumor, or head injury.

What Causes Selective Mutism in Adults?

having another anxiety condition, like separation anxiety or social anxiety

experiencing physical, emotional, or sexual abuse

having a family history of selective mutism or social anxiety

having fewer opportunities for social contact

having an extremely shy personality

having a speech or language disorder, learning disability, or sensory processing disorder

parent-child enmeshment, or lack of clear boundaries in the relationship

traumatic experiences

Traumatic Mutism vs Trauma-Induced Selective Mutism

if you have traumatic mutism, you may be unable to talk in all situations following a trauma.

with trauma-induced selective mutism, you may find it impossible to talk only in certain situations-- for example, in front of the person who hurt you or in a setting that resembles the circumstances of your trauma.

Different Ways Individuals with Mutism May Choose to Communicate:

Nonverbal Communication: they may rely on facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, and body language to convey their thoughts, emotions, and intentions.

Writing or Typing: they may use a pen and paper, digital devices, or communication apps to write messages, notes, or responses.

Sign Language: they can convey meaning, emotions, and engage in complex conversations through hand signs, facial expressions, and body movements.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Devices: these devices provide individuals with a range of tools and technologies to support their communication needs. They can include speech-generating devices, picture boards, apps, or software that allows users to select words, phrases, or symbols to generate spoken or written output.

Communication Boards and Visual Aids: Communication boards or charts with pictures, symbols, or words can assist individuals in conveying their messages.

Assistive Technology: various assistive technologies, such as speech-to-text apps, text-to-speech programs, or eye-tracking devices that aid individuals with communication.

Tips on Writing a Mute / Non-Speaking Character:

Explore the vast array of nonverbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, gestures, and eye contact. Use descriptions to convey their intentions and reactions.

Utilize internal dialogue. Offer readers a window into their internal thought process, and turn their internal dialogue into a narrative that reveals their inner struggles, triumphs, and complexities so that reader can connect with the character.

Establish a communication system that is unique to your character (Sign language, written notes, telepathy in a fantasy setting, etc.). Having a communication system allows your character to interact with other characters and contribute to the narrative.

Surround them with Understanding Characters that can aid in communcation and fostering meaningful relationships.

Establish the Barriers/Conflicts They'll Experience. Don't forget to be realistic.

Your character is not defined by their inability to speak. Make sure you do not write stereotypes and cliches. Being mute is only one aspect of their identity rather than their defining trait.

Do your research! Seek out firsthand accounts, experiences, and perspectives. Check out online forums and resources to gain insights into their unique challenges, adaptations, and strengths.

It's been a month since chapter 3 was released, where's chapter 4?

(this is about this fanfic btw)

The good news is that I've written 10k words. The bad news is that I've only gotten a little more than half of the chapter done. That doesn't mean I don't have things written for the bottom half, it's just that it looks like bare dialog with general vibe notes. I estimate around 16k words total though, so it should come together sooner than later.

SO I want to release some fun snippets for y'all to look at. Please note that any of this is liable to change. Also, you can harass me in my inbox for updates. I love answering your questions and laughing at your misery.

Spoilers under cut.

Ragatha stood up and walked over to where Caine was seated. “Can I get a list of all commands?” She asked, only a hint of nervousness in her voice.

“Certainly!” Caine says as he blasts into the air. He digs around in his tailcoat and pulls out an office style manilla folder. It visually contains a few papers, but with how thin it is there must only be a few pages inside.

Ragatha takes the folder from Caine and opens it.

“Oh boy” she says after a second of looking it over.

“I wanna see” Jax exclaimed as he hops over the row of seats.

“Hold on” Ragatha holds the folder defensively “Let’s move to the stage so everyone can take a look”

Jax hopped over the seats again while Ragatha calmly walked around. Caine watched the two curiously.

Well, Zooble wasn’t just going to sit there. They joined the other two by the edge of the stage, quickly followed by the rest of the group.

Ragatha placed the folder on the stage with a thwap. Zooble looked over to see that the pages had gone from razor thin to a massive stack when the folder was opened. On one hand, it had to contain more information than that video, but on the other…

They get close enough to read what’s on the first page.

The execution of commands via the system’s designated input terminal, C.A.I.N.E., will be referred to as the "console” in this document. The console is designed to accept any input and will generate an appropriate response, however only certain prompts will be accepted as valid instructions. The goal of this document is to list all acceptable instructions in a format that will result in the expected output. Please note that automatic moderation has been put in place in order to prevent exploitation of both the system and fellow players. If you believe that your command has been unfairly rejected, please contact support. 

By engaging in the activities described in this document, you, the undersigned, acknowledge, agree, and consent to the applicability of this agreement, notwithstanding any contradictory stipulations, assumptions, or implications which may arise from any interaction with the console. You, the constituent, agree not to participate in any form of cyber attack; including but not limited to, direct prompt injection, indirect prompt injection, SQL injection, Jailbreaking…

Ok, that was too many words.

“Take this document for example. You don't need to know where it is being stored or what file type it is in order to read it."

"It may look like a bunch of free floating papers, but technically speaking, this is just a text file applied to a 3D shape." Kinger looked towards Caine. "Correct?” he asked

Caine nodded. “And a fabric simulation!”

Kinger picked up a paper and bent it. “Oh, now that is nice”

"WE CAN AFFORD MORE THAN 6 TRIANGLES KINGER"

"I'm too neurotypical for this" - Jax

"What about the internet?" Pomni asked "Do you think that it's possible to reach it?"

Kinger: "I'm sorry, but that's seems to be impossible. I can't be 100% sure without physically looking at the guts of this place, but it doesn't look like this server has the hardware needed for wireless connections. Wired connections should be possible, but someone on the outside would need to do that... And that's just the hardware, let alone the software necessary for that kind of communication"

Pomni: "I'm sorry, but doesn't server mean internet? Like, an internet server?"

Kinger: "Yes, websites are ran off servers, but servers don't equal internet."

(This portion goes out to everyone who thought that the internet could be an actual solution. Sorry folks, but computers don't equal internet. It takes more effort to make a device that can connect to things than to make one that can't)

@abyssmalice asked:

There is no good way to broach this topic with Seth, as far as Tonia knows. During the quiet moments on this journey, she contemplates the best way to bring it up, her mouth sometimes opening to discuss - before she clamps it shut, or otherwise changes topic. But the desire to say something remains and, well.

At some point, she'll be too frustrated to find a better way to word things. Like right now.

"—Do you want me to turn your M.I.N.D. off?" Tonia sits on a large piece of rubble, elevating her to a height where her feet don't touch the ground. "Like, I'm not talking about killing you or that Construct thing where you go into hibernation for routine system maintenance or whatever that is. I mean like, actually turn you off, for a little bit."

As a childish sort of distraction, she starts to restlessly swing her legs. "Like, normally I wouldn't be able to do that, but with the virus technically infecting your frame, I could probably bypass your programming and force a temporary shutdown if I wanted to. Maybe. I think. A-Anyway, the point is - if you want to literally turn your head off for a little bit like, super-completely, I can probably do that!"

A pause, as she glances off to the side. Her voice is a much more quiet mutter when she speaks again, "...It might help with the nightmares... if you want..."

⠀⠀⠀⠀Unusual questions posed in unusual circumstances has long become expected of interacting with Tonia. Be it about his sword or about what they're doing next - she has a knack for asking questions straight out of nowhere with no relevance to anything.

⠀⠀⠀⠀So it is that her question - one that could be construed as something very hostile - is given ample pause while he pulls apart a deceased construct. His sword rests comfortably at his side as careful and diligent efforts to precisely deconstruct the mostly in-tact but decidedly deceased construct are carried out.

⠀⠀⠀⠀The question is greeted with a calm silence, her companion continuing the work at hand for a few moments as she speaks, proposes her idea. Solitude for a bit, perhaps. To be devoid of self - to be truly turned off for a bit before being reactivated. Something that could, in theory, be nice.

"That will not be needed."

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀A simple response.

"For me, it would be little more than a blink between deactivation and reactivation. It might resolve some underlying issues within my M.I.N.D.'s structure from continuous runtime, but the issues I face are... Beyond just hardware or software issues."

⠀⠀⠀⠀Pop. The panel comes off, and he carefully starts pulling some components out. Good to keep replacements and spares on hands - as well as things that might be useful for upgrading himself. Babylonia keeps making better and better constructs after all.

"I... Appreciate the thoughts. The concern. But... This is not something that can be so easily amended. In time, perhaps, there will be solace. An answer at the end of that long dark. But it will not come from the lie of silence."

⠀⠀⠀⠀He pauses again, turning his gaze on Tonia.

"The cure for nightmares is resolution. It is something I hope to find in our travels."

god i’m trying to have a conversation with my dad where i’m trying to respond positively to what he’s saying and he makes it REALLY hard

so for context: i am 21, autistic, a gamer, a computer science student, and have adhd. i have some amount of social anxiety (not terrible) but it does make going out and talking to people uncomfortable.

my dad is a boomer. he works as a government contractor and works as either software engineer (explain things to the customer) or architect. when he has spare time, he does plays the piano, fixes things around the house, and goes camping. i personally don’t find joy in those activities and don’t comment on them.

it is summer, and my parents have been pushing me for the last month to find a job. i don’t really get why, but i see a reason i could use one — not having something to do every day other than recreation can put me into a depressive mood swing.

now that college is out for the summer, i am being ridden even harder than before to find a job. my dad wants me to spend 8 hours a day finding a job or working at a job. i’m trying to understand why he wants that, since as long as it’s a reason i see some logic behind i’m willing to consider it, but even asking him directly why i need one leaves no response other than a circular argument or “you not having one causes me distress”

our most recent interaction went sideways as well. he came into my room asking me while i was gaming and started asking me about a job while i was in voice. i put the game aside since i wasn’t actively doing anything in it at the moment and was at a good point to get off anyways, and left the voice chat shortly thereafter as i could tell things were getting a little tense.

he asks me if i have looked for a job today. no, i respond, i haven’t, but i can check my email for suggested positions, since indeed had recently promoted positions i would actually like to work in. he then asks me to spend the rest of the day getting a job, going out and such.

backtracking a little. i had, over the weekend prior, sent him a document of “common, healthy behaviors of people with autism” that i had found on here. he responded with something that sounded as if he had read it. great! i thought, this might lead to us being able to better understand each other!

we now return to our regularly scheduled programming of a number of uncomfortable expectations, including:

a sudden change in how i spend half of my day to an activity that i find to be mentally taxing and socially draining

compliance with an expectation for which the basis remains inadequately explained

respect for a particularly narrow scope of what said activities i can spend my day on

returning to the end of our first conversation. this went well, as far as i could tell, and i decided to spend some time preparing things for an interview for a job i am strongly hoping i can get. i am working on something adjacent to this when he returns and starts looking for me.

he asks what i’m doing. i tell him i’m preparing for an interview tomorrow. he asks when said job would start should i get hired, and i tell him i’d expect it to formally start after about 2 weeks, where i would get training in the position. he looks… disappointed.

i tell him i’m uncomfortable with going out and talking to people to look for a job and propose some other activities i could do. i could do volunteering, i could do coding exercises, i could teach myself math.

he tells me to get a job, but opens the option of going to the gym.

i’m confused, but i do see something there. i ask for assistance in developing an exercise routine, since i wouldn’t really know what to do at the gym, as i don’t regularly work out. he then closes the option for going to the gym.

what the hell am i supposed to do? i have a fantastic job lined up with an interview TOMORROW and he shows no sign that he understands i might actually have a position. how am i supposed to meet his standard while also not putting myself in a situation where i feel i’m at risk?

food service is off the table — i’ve worked in food service before, but had a bad experience at my last job there. my therapist helped me silo it from affecting jobs as a whole into just food service, so i don’t want to open that can of worms.

i’m also opting out of retail, since a lot of retail environments have a number of high stress scenarios id be likely to get into. i do not have the best stress response and end up basing a significant amount of my self worth on personal goals and have high standards for myself, so it spells a recipe for a bad time.

that leaves entertainment, for which i have applied to a number of positions for. the one which got back to me was for custodial duties — the exact thing i had a bad time with back at my old job. ended up passing on it once i realized that was what the position was.

and then there’s the position of camp counselor. i’ve applied to what feels like every camp in my area, and gotten results from the one i was really hoping for, and that interview is tomorrow. but what do i do if things don’t work out, or they do, but not for a week or two? do i just avoid him?

How Enterprises Use Voice APIs for Call Routing and IVR Automation

Enterprises today handle thousands of customer calls every day. To manage these efficiently, many are turning to voice APIs. These tools help businesses automate call routing and interactive voice response (IVR) systems.

What Are Voice APIs?

Voice APIs are software interfaces that allow developers to build voice-calling features into apps or systems. These APIs can trigger actions like placing calls, receiving them, or converting speech to text. For enterprises, voice APIs make it easy to integrate intelligent call handling into their workflow.

Smarter Call Routing

Call routing directs incoming calls to the right agent or department. With voice APIs, this process becomes dynamic and rules based.

For example, a customer calling from a VIP number can be routed directly to a premium support team. APIs allow routing rules based on caller ID, time of day, location, or even previous interactions. This reduces wait times and improves customer satisfaction.

Automated IVR Systems

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) lets callers interact with a menu system using voice or keypad inputs. Traditional IVR systems are rigid and often frustrating.

Voice APIs enable smarter, more personalized IVR flows. Enterprises can design menus that adapt in real time. For instance, returning callers may hear different options based on their past issues. With speech recognition, users can speak naturally instead of pressing buttons.

Scalability and Flexibility

One major benefit of using voice API is scalability. Enterprises don’t need physical infrastructure to manage call volume. The cloud-based nature of voice APIs means businesses can handle spikes in calls without losing quality.

Also, changes to call flows can be made quickly. New routing rules or IVR scripts can be deployed without touching hardware. This agility is crucial in fast-moving industries.

Enhanced Analytics and Integration

Voice APIs also provide detailed data. Enterprises can track call duration, drop rates, wait times, and common IVR paths. This data helps optimize performance and identify pain points.

Moreover, APIs easily integrate with CRMs, ticketing systems, and analytics tools. This ensures a seamless connection between calls and other business processes.

Final Thoughts

Voice APIs are transforming how enterprises manage voice communications. From intelligent call routing to adaptive IVR systems, the benefits are clear. Enterprises that adopt these tools gain speed, efficiency, and better customer experience, and that too without a lot of effort.

How to Choose the Right Web Design for Your Brand

Imagine walking into a store with flickering lights, chaotic shelves, and no one to guide you. You’d probably walk out, right? Your website is no different. In the digital world, your website is your storefront, your first handshake, your 24/7 brand ambassador. At Nivida Software, recognised as the Best Website Design Company in Gujarat, we understand that web design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about aligning visuals with values, purpose with presence, and design with direction.

So, how do you choose the right web design for your brand? Here’s a thought-provoking guide to help you decode that puzzle—with insight, not just information.

Understand Your Brand’s DNA:

Before you pick fonts and colours, you must know who you are. Is your brand bold or subtle? Youthful or sophisticated? Playful or professional? You should design your logo considering all the above factors.

Start by defining your brand’s tone, mission, and unique selling points. When we, as a Web Design Company in Gujarat, take on a project, we dig deep to understand what drives your business. A well-defined brand voice makes design decisions far more intuitive and authentic.

Know Your Audience Like You Know Your Product:

Your website should speak your audience’s language—visually and functionally. Designing with interaction, minimalism, and mobile in mind is essential if you want to attract tech-savvy millennials. Targeting B2B clients? Your site should inspire trust, credibility, and professionalism.

At Nivida Software, one of the Best Web Design Agencies in Vadodara, we conduct extensive user profiling to ensure your website design connects with the right emotions and expectations of your audience. Because relevance is the real design currency.

Prioritise User Experience (UX), Not Just Decoration:

You may fall in love with a particular layout or animation, but if it confuses your user or slows down their journey, it’s a liability, not an asset. Building a house without doors is the same of web design without user experience.

As a forward-thinking Web Design Agency in Vadodara, we follow a user-first approach. We map the customer journey, define intuitive navigation paths, and ensure that every scroll, swipe, and click contributes to conversions.

Design for Mobile—Not as an Option, but as a Rule:

We live in a pocket-first world. More than 60% of users will visit your website on a mobile device. If your design isn’t responsive, you’re practically invisible to half your audience.

Being a Best Website Design Company in Vadodara, our responsive design philosophy ensures your website adapts seamlessly across devices—whether it’s a smartphone, tablet, or desktop—without compromising on speed or quality.

Stay Consistent, but Never Boring:

Brand consistency builds recognition, but that doesn’t mean being repetitive. It means using cohesive colour palettes, typography, and imagery that align with your brand guidelines while still allowing creative expression in layouts and content blocks.

We at Nivida Software, a leading Web Design Agency in Gujarat, blend innovation with identity, ensuring your design remains fresh without straying from the core brand essence.

Content and Design Must Work Like a Duet:

A stunning design without engaging content is like a concert with no music. Your design must support your message, not distract from it.

We ensure that copy and visuals work hand-in-hand. Our collaborative approach makes us stand out as one of the Best Website Design Agencies in Vadodara. Every button, headline, and image placement is intentional, crafted to guide the visitor naturally toward action.

SEO-Optimised Design Is Not a Luxury, It’s a Necessity:

Search engines don’t care if your site looks like a masterpiece. They care about structure, speed, tags, responsiveness, and accessibility.

As a highly experienced Web Design Company in Gujarat, we bake SEO into the foundation of our designs. Clean code, proper heading hierarchy, optimised images, and fast loading speeds are non-negotiables in our workflow.

Scalability: Design Today with Tomorrow in Mind

Whether it’s adding new product lines, integrating with CRM tools, or including multilingual capabilities, a scalable architecture is crucial.

That’s why our design frameworks at Nivida Software, the Best Website Design Company in Gujarat, are built to be modular and flexible—so your site can evolve as your brand does.

Choose the Right Design Partner:

At the end of the day, choosing the right web design comes down to choosing the right people to build it. A team that listens, understands, advises, and executes with precision.

At Nivida Software, we’re not just designers—we’re digital storytellers, strategists, and brand builders. As one of the Best Web Design Agencies in Vadodara, we bring years of industry experience, a robust creative process, and an obsession with pixel-perfect delivery.

We don’t just build websites. We craft experiences that help brands stand out, sell more, and stay memorable.

Look Beyond the Portfolio, Seek the Process:

Many agencies flaunt flashy portfolios. A well-thought-out plan, however, is essential to its success. Always ask about their process—how do they understand your business, plan your sitemap, choose your design direction, or test user journeys?

Our proven design methodology, backed by extensive market research and conversion insights, has made us the go-to Web Design Agency in Vadodara for businesses that want more than just a pretty face—they want performance.

Closing Thoughts:

Choosing the right web design for your brand is not a checkbox—it’s a commitment to crafting a digital presence that reflects who you are, resonates with your audience, and drives results.

At Nivida Software, the Best Website Design Company in Vadodara, we walk that path with you—from ideation to implementation. With a blend of strategic thinking, technical expertise, and aesthetic excellence, we help brands come alive online.
