#Sensory sensitivity

[the-hadal-zone-sys]

Normalize dressing literally however you want.

Normalize dressing alternative.

Normalize dressing for comfort.

Normalize dressing formal in informal settings.

Normalize not liking formal clothes.

Normalize wearing tails, ears, and other things considered "cringe."

Normalize needing to dress a specific way because of sensory processing issues.

Normalize not having one set fashion sense and changing things up.

Normalize wearing clothes associated with the opposite binary gender, including for both cis people and trans people.

Normalize wearing revealing outfits just because you like them.

Normalize dressing "dramatic" or "over the top."

Normalize cosplay.

Normalize historical fashion.

Like...

It's your body! It's your skin! You deserve to feel comfortable in it, whatever that means for you.

Understanding Sensory Sensitivity

bitches be like "oh i don't get sensory overload" and then nearly scream and smash their phone into the ground because their little cousin wanted to play roblox and they really like their little cousin and adore her so much but this time the fact that she is constantly talking and her voice grates ever so slightly on the ears and that she's very loud and bubbly and that she's singing and talking and there's music from the game blasting through her tablet as well and cooking noises and smells in the background from their mum and their sister who is also a darling keeps putting her fucking arm on theirs and they can feel their clothes and skin and its also hot and they're also expected to talk and play and be high energy and they just cant fucking take it so wind up ranting on tumblr about it whilst also wishing never to interact with a human ever again.

its me, i'm bitches <333

30 years from now, the affini assigned to me has been slowly working her way into my life. today she gives me a d-class xenodrug

affini: injects class d hey little one how u feelin??

me: i want to kill all life in the universe and then kill myself

affini: whoa that was RIGHT under the surface huh!!!!! um........... whys that sweetie?

me: the fact that u asked that means im killing u now

affini: mmm.... ya? 😅

affini: huh.......... is ppl asking u to explain ur feelings scary?

me: *bursts out sobbing* YES!!!!!!!!!!!! its painful!!!!! they dont kno how much theyr hurtin me!!!!!!!!!!!

affini: is that why u want to kill them?

me: their existence allows for the possibility of unpredictable chaos. other lifeforms hav free will which allows them to ruin things. i hav to kill them becuz in the brief periods when im alone day-to-day, there is slightly less chaos & ruination. unfortunately, i rely on the chaosbringers for survival becuz i cannot take care of myself. every day is a rapid dance between safety & functionality

affini: whoa!!!!! good job little one...... big breakthru!!!!! i think we cracked it????? it's ur sensory issues & ur fight or flight tendencies!!!!!

Hey, this is going to be a blog for hopefully useful content warnings for those with misophonia, or any other auditory sensory sensitivities, for audio dramas and fiction podcasts,

mostly horror, as that’s what I’m currently into.

Posts will be separated by season (or chapter/year/whatever format the series uses) with warnings for each episode relating to common misophonia triggers or sound sensitivities, and links to episode transcripts if available.

If you have sensory issues relating to noise, please pipe in with some recommendations for content warnings you’d find useful.

Shows I currently plan on covering:

Malevolent

The Magnus Archives

The Magnus Protocol

Podcasts I will get around to eventually when I finally listen to them

Welcome to Night Vale

Camp here & there

I Am In Eskew

The Split Verses

Old Gods of Appalachia And more!

Expect longer series to take more time to cover, as some of these series have a whole lot of episodes to go through, I'm only one person after all.

Advice for other autistics/ NDs who hate sleeping in new places- bring your personal blankets, pillows, stuffed toys ect and recreate your typical nighttime routine as closely as possible before you go to bed.

I used to have a really hard time falling asleep in different places, whether I was staying over at my friends house, or in a hotel, or at my grandparents. I would feel extremely anxious over the change and every time I would almost drift off, I’d notice how different the covers and the room felt and also smelled from my own bed which would wake me up.

I realized at some point how important familiar sensory input is for me to feel comfortable, particularly in terms of scent. Having a blanket that smells like my house helps me pretend that I’m in my own bed, and having gone through my routine like normal ( in my case brushing my teeth, showering, getting in new clothes, and setting aside about an hour or so of time to wind down before going to sleep) made me feel more comfortable.

This might seem kind of obvious and it’s not a foolproof solution but it’s helped me a lot and for some reason I hadn’t thought of it until a year or two ago! I hope it might help somebody else!

I’m thinking the endurance of the Sentinel/Guide AU trope in fanfic has less to do with the quality of the original and more to do with answering the age-old question;

“WHAT IF my hyperactive senses made me a super-hero with an adorkable lifemate to help me manage them, instead of a socially awkward neurodivergent with chronic overload pain issues?”
