I’m so sick of these smart asses who think they know fuck all about comorbidity because they passed a fifth grade statistics class. I’m gonna illustrate a scenario. This is all gonna be based on the diathesis stress model.

Let’s say Mary is autistic, and her family has a history of addictive personality which manifests in her mother as a drinking problem. Mary’s mother has trouble holding down a job, which causes stress that she’s likely to take out on Mary because out of all her siblings, she’s the least able to discern when it’s time to steer clear of mom. This causes her to internalize the idea that she’s a burden, and go out of her way to be withdrawn and out of the way. This self isolation and maladaptive thinking eventually blossoms into social anxiety and depression.

Because of the family’s financial situation, Mary also is growing up food insecure. She becomes used to eating only what she needs, and a lot of times less than that. Fortunately her school has a free lunch program, but the kids notice how much she eats at school, and how she always volunteers to eat unwanted leftovers, and they start to pick on her. Mary learns to believe that eating enough to fill her stomach is gross and unflattering.

Then when Mary reaches 16 the unthinkable happens, and she is assaulted. She already has trouble asking for help out of fear of being burdensome, and is doubtful she’ll be believed anyway, so she keeps this a secret till it festers into PTSD. Her trauma makes her feel out of control of her body, and she takes back that control by restricting her food again. Even though she no longer needs to do so and it’s making her sick, she takes pride in taking charge of what happens to her body. This malnutrition goes on long enough to effect her bone density long term.

Mary now has autism, social anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, PTSD, anorexia, and osteoporosis. WhAt ArE tHe OdDs???

me: yeah i have about 8 or so disorders or conditions

someone who doesn't know what the word "comorbidity" means: wrow.... what are the chances of that....

I’ve been trying to say this but cognitive issues but before we pathologize individuals as unhealthy, disordered, dysfunctional, dangerous, and abnormal for their reactions to abuse, we should at first be assessing their environments as such

Mental illness is real of course, however, it’s true that toxic environments can mimic symptoms in ppl n if removed from certain environments, symptoms would be gone. And it’s important for adequate assessment to discern for this. Getting a diagnosis in these situations would be a form of medical gaslighting

And it’s also true that being raised in abusive/unhealthy, neglectful, not ideal environment, systems of oppression, bullying at school can play a role too mixed with a genetic/biological/temperament vulnerability or sensitive personality can lead to the formation of mental/personality disorders over time as a form of complex trauma (distinct from CPTSD) and that these people deserve support and interventions that meet their needs and goals. These are the circumstances where terms like “trauma oriented _______ “(enter condition here) have arose from. The degree of stress/trauma that is required to trigger someones genetic predisposition “diathesis” will vary from person to person. For some (mental health disorders) it may not take so much (not a complex trauma) and for others it may take a bit (a complex trauma).

It’s also true that some people are born with mental health disorders (least common)

Transformative social justice like advocating for policy changes in government is so important in addressing all

Shadow Tubby from Slendytubbies bc I’m getting a little into it again and I love the Shadow Tubby already (And Po + Laa Laa)

I head canon that the Shadow Tubby has 2 eyes visible still (His right eye and his third eye (Also a head canon) and that he wears a white and black (or dark gray as I drew it) suit instead of a black and white suit bc idk❤️

Also I head canon that he can change his voice and form (since he’s a shadow) to easily deceive other tubbies from far away bc yeah, I’d imagine his regular voice would sound like Mr. Fregoli’s voice (From a Will Wood and the Tapeworms song/skit to advertise the new Will Wood profile at the time (I’ll add it to this))

+ He can cross over to the over world whenever and can go under doors ‘n stuff or between small ahh cracks since, once again, he’s a shadow so he probs has a lot of control over his form ‘n stuff❤️

Edit for 1Fish2Fish bc it reminds me of him❤️

will wood fans be like wow the start of dr fregoli and the diathesis stress supermodel or: how I learned to stop worrying and love the con (an untitled track) is so good I wish there was an extended version. you'd think the joke is the silly name but I didn't even realise that's what the song was called until I started writing this post, the joke is that it's a guy coughing/weeping/laughing, plates shattering and a boing sound effect over music for 25 seconds and then an incorrect buzzer noise

It's so interesting seeing Legend separately from Jessie as you post more NofNA comics. Was she always this different from Jessie in your head, or did she just diverge as time went on? Also, was there any sort of tangible trigger for Legend's episodes regarding the moon, or is it more to tie her in to Jessie's belief that the world is inherently fictional leading to her ascent to godhood?

These are not questions. But the animals you've drawn for the comics are really appealing! I especially like the baboon and lemur, but I'm biased. Regarding the Wet and Dry seasons comment, I come from east Africa and we literally call the seasons that. Since I lived almost exactly on the equator there were only two seasons, alternating throughout the year, wet and dry (or rainy and dry) and some people spruce it up a bit by saying "cold rainy" or "hot rainy" etc.

thank you, i really appreciate it... I think she was always pretty different, mostly because the omnipotence part of Jessie's powers are a huge part of the themes for Idletry, and NofNA has some inherent restrictions to The Powers that I tried to work with.

i think the biggest divergences were Legend Could Not Be Stupid And Also Develop A Powerful Thesis; Legend would have to ascend to godhood at the end of the story instead of the beginning like in Idletry; Legend would have to fail at gaining power because the issues she would fix are not fixed in chronologically later canonical NofNA stories; Legend would not be able to know that she's in an actual story because NofNA, according to canon, is not a story (e.g. you're supposed to pretend that you are engaging with a real fleshed out scenario); and because she couldn't focus on godhood like Jessie could, Legend would have to compensate by developing the literature theme further.

That ended up being a longer list than i intended, lol.

Currently haven't decided on a tangible trigger for her episode, aside from knowing that it's produced by a significant stressor like the death of someone she knows (leaning into diathesis-stress hypothesis) or being held back for not completing her metanoia in school (leaning into social defeat hypothesis).

The moon, in NofNA's canon (don't know how familiar you are with it, so forgive me if i'm explaining the obvious), the moon is God's eye, and God and the natural world are the same thing. Natural evil, more specifically, is attributed to God's design.

Legend and Jessie's shared through-line is more than anything an inner dissatisfaction because something bad happened and nothing can "undo" it... there is a deeply ingrained unfairness in the world inherent to its existence -- usually, blamed on God -- and they turn to fantasy and fiction to try to get away from it.

SO. the moon was included mmmmostly because of the problem of evil thing, but also because it could liken her story a little more to jessie's. insomnia and the darkness of nighttime are associated with psychosis, but i honestly don't think it would have been a strong enough reason to include as a big theme without the canonical presence of the moon.

Will Wood-tober meets Plant-tober (October 2024)

(Wonder how many Will Wood fans I'll end up summoning on here with this post... >:) 🤣)

In a spur-of-the-moment attempt to get out of an illustration rut, I decided to combine Will Wood (as a casual enjoyer of his music) and plants (as a botany nerd) into abstract artworks.

The prompt lists in question (and the appropriate content warnings) are below - please click "Expand" and scroll down to see the full drawings and my summarised thought process for creating each one.

Third Eye + Wisteria + The Main Character

Theme of the song: Narcissism, and how it can warp your perception of yourself and the world you're in = 'main character syndrome'.

Overall aesthetic description: "off-the-wall/trippy designs and motifs with a lot of detail" (think of the album covers for Everything is a Lot (2015), SELF-iSH (2016) and Mr. Fregoli and the Diathesis-Stress Supermodel, Or: How I (2020))

"Instead of a character with three eyes, what about an abstract figure with three eyes as its head?"

Wisteria = luck and longevity (ensured by the protection of life's "plot armour")

Red + (Japanese) Maple + Outliars and Hyppocrates: a fun fact about apples

Theme of the song: Embracing the things that make you unique, even if others find them strange/confusing.

Overall aesthetic description: "collage meets surrealism" (think of the cheese-moon pairing in the album cover for "In case I make it" (2022))

Apple core + heart (a person's 'core') = "why not have an apple with the internal anatomy of a human heart?"

Japanese maple leaves = beauty and strength
