"Epilepsy this!" "PNES that!"

Yeah, yeah... I got it, now, when will we bring awareness about paroxysmal dyskensias? I bet, there's at least one person who's reading this post and instead of FND has some kind of dyskensia. Do not let doctors down your disorder. The thing that might be seen as psychogenic, can actually be a genetic.

Bring awareness about paroxysmal dyskensias. Do not let them put us down.

A great many ships move through the Auric Range, trade flowing up through the Sierra Madre Line and out through the Santanna Blinkgate. Thus, an increased presence of Trunk Security and its subfirms. Of these subfirms the Boudreaux & Thibodeaux Concern handles design and production for mechanized chassis in what are termed “High-Threat Corporate Entanglements”.  This is all preamble of course, to introduce what many in the Range consider IPS-N’s finest security force multiplier- The Bonney.  The Bonney is what IPS-N terms a “High Kinetic Fire Support Platform” created by the hyperkinesis module integrated into the “nervous system” of the mech’s frame and the pilot’s spinal uplink. Doses of the synthetic nano-adrenaline released in microbursts throughout combat allow both mech and pilot to move faster and shoot better than anyone else on the battlefield. And to the mercenary forces of Ladon’s Corpse and Furthest West there simply isn’t better than an experienced Bonney pilot to turn any mission around.

Bonney, within the Auric Range, is seen as a veteran’s frame. This is not to say that IPS-N, through B&TC, will not sell the mech to any hotshot who comes through Santanna with Manna to burn (and in the Range, those men outnumber the veterans), they absolutely will. But the popular public consensus of the Bonney is derived from the screamsheets and newspicts that flow back to the Sisters from the dozens of conflict zones that decorate the Range- media that depicts the Bonney and her pilots as hard bitten mercenaries with the strange affect of someone used to a life that starts and stops on command. The critics say this is a side-effect of long-term “Chronos” exposure. The pilots say that’s just what it takes to survive beyond the grasp of the Sisters.

Well, I'm not some transfixed insect, I can assure you. And as for folding up, I'm certain I'd be sensitive to preliminary symptoms of exhaustion or hyperkinesis, but they're just not here. I mean, they're not there! Absolutely not there. And besides, I grab these catnaps every once in a while and they're very, very restful.

Invalidity that suffuses through the epithelium

Squamation that wriggles through the rows

Dermal dentitions that rip chunks of preconception

Off of the slipping stomata of the place we lay down

The years that go by, gazing upon the priapic

Legacy of the counterculture in herd immunity

Yippie to Yuppie to puppy uniformity

The process of material selection

The aphagia that chokes down sets of principles

The aphotic gaze upon the lecturing

The legacy of disco sauce

The pathophysiology of a malingering, lingering

Drawer of lingerie, pictures for a outsider review

Of children's books,

The denaturation of fever

Hyperthermia frying cells like egg

Fervour, anosmic animisis

Unable to catch the scent of the soul

Anismus, dysautonomia of failed purges

Burning books

Burning vulcanized rubber

Burying galvanized steel

Hypnic jerks, hypnogogic rehearsal of the death in reverse

Psychogenic, sclerotic visions

Viral plaques and viral loads hung up on the wall with the washing

Hyperkinesis, insufflation of the gut

The minimum infective common denominator

Argon plasma coagulation

Marasmus, turgor of the myo-mycelium

the rete mirabile of fungus symbiosis, generating electrical pulse

Watching The Exorcist and I'm screaming that the doctor prescribed her ritalin for "hyperkinesis." Homegirl has demons in her blood and this dude is diagnosing her with proto-ADHD

[andr3yvishn3vsky]

PNES are PNES. It's a psychological, conversion, functional, dissociative seizure. Of course it's non-epileptic. But. Often missing the word of the seizure being functional can harm those who have non-epileptic, but NOT psychological seizures.

Non-epileptic ≠ Functional.

Get over it.

"Yes, hyperkinesis if I might hazard a guess."

Dieter has been restless while Petrov was gone. He wasn't aggressive, exactly. But he was always one provocation away from a fight.

Petrov returned Monday, he goes to see the former doctor after his meeting.

"Dieter. Need to speak with you."

I remember being 17 and working at a retirement community. I made a casual comment to an 84 year old man about his ADHD.

He replied a very confused, "What?"

Me: "ADHD, it used to be called hyperkinesis back in the day." *proceeds to explain ADHD*

Him: *in shock nearly crying* "There is a name for it? I always thought I was broken"

Variations of this scene have played out for me again, and again, and again. The last time was less than 10 days ago.

Quirky kids who declare that they are just like me. Parents of Autistic kids in shock that I can have a "normal" conversation but still occasionally head bang in frustration. Explaining a specific learning disability, and having someone shout "That's a thing?! I was told I was stupid".

This is what I think about when I hear Semler's Thank God For That lyrics, "Hallelujah, we are all fucking weird, and there is a place for you at the table, honey, here."

Another day, another low budget made for TV movie from Mark Hamill’s back catalogue... Delancey Street: The Crisis Within. I really didn’t know what to make of this one to be honest, I feel like I either missed a lot of subtext or just don’t know enough about 70s America to get what was going on.

It’s based on the real life Delancey Street Foundation which is a halfway house / self-help organisation that gets ex-convicts, addicts, etc, back on their feet. The film follows three stories: Little Suzie Franklin whose mum’s out of the picture and dad is serving 10-30 years. She’s a genius who could go far if only the headteacher of the local posh private girls’ school would give her a chance. Then there’s Otis James who’s turned his life around and is going to open a restaurant - Funky Leroy’s - with his gf who is due out of prison any day now. If only she can stay clean...

Then there’s Philip Donaldson (Mark Hamill), a 17 year old staying there to get help with controlling his hyperkinesis. Today that would be severe ADHD but it seems to have been a broader diagnosis in ‘75 so, well, who knows. The people in charge all talk like he’s at his last chance to make something of his life. We’re told that he’s been hospitalised for it in the past, and one of the other characters describes him as a ‘basket case’. Another says they shouldn’t make allowances for him just because he has some rich kid disease nobody can even pronounce. 

Anyway, his roommate can’t put up with him any longer so he’s matched with Robert ‘Bob’ Holtzman, a just released convict who’s spent 36 years in San Quentin for car theft and then murdering a fellow inmate in self-defence. It’s 1975 so obviously this seems like a great idea. Because Bob is the strong silent type but he kind of takes Phil under his wing. He tells Phil everyone gets scared sometimes - himself included, lets Phil inundate him with dumb questions, and even promises they’ll plant some birds of paradise together even though Phil ‘can’t think very good’ when he gets stressed and has come to believe he can’t do anything that requires patience. 

Whatever, when we next see them Phil is practising introducing Bob to his parents. They turn out to be super rich and fancy and horrified their son is associating with such a character. This was where I realised I was maybe missing some serious cues because the meeting is hella tense, and I figured at first Phil’s mum was actually trying to come onto Bob the vibe was so weird. But it turns out she’s actually quizzing him about his lonely time in San Quentin because she thinks he must be in a gay relationship with Phil, on the grounds that there’s no other reason a man older than his father would want to be friends with him.

Up to this point I was very much viewing their relationship in the stock trope of ‘messed up kid gets much needed stable (if inappropriate) adult influence who’ll occasionally grunt in response to their inane rambling’. Even rewatching their scenes I’m still not sure if it’s meant to be viewed as all innocent or if 1975 US telly standards just required that gay flirting be that subtle. (It was shown on NBC in the 8pm slot back in 1975, but I don’t know enough about US media history for that to help me make a judgement call. For a prison-y comparison, on the BBC, Porridge went out at 8:30pm and Lukewarm got to write his boyfriend a love letter before he visited...)

So, yeah, the dinner ends in disaster with Phil’s mum asking Phil straight out if Bob’s a homosexual and that’s why he wants to be Phil’s friend. Phil proceeds to completely and utterly lose his shit. He smashes up a mirror, tries to hit his mum, scuffles with his dad, and runs off. Then, an hour or so later, breaks back into his parents’ house, steals his dad’s rifle, then sets himself up in sniper position at the top of a tower.

Bob has to go up there and talk him down before police take a shot at him. Phil’s a wreck, clinging to the gun, and asks ‘do you understand - do you at least understand what I’m doing?’ Bob surely speaks for all of us when he answers ‘no’. So Phil comes back with ‘No!? How can you say you’re my friend? How can you say you care about what happens to me, you don’t even understand.’

I had no idea what Phil thought he was doing at this point, so I sympathised with Bob’s less than stellar response: ‘Philip, I don’t know why you and me are friends. Out of all the people there, all the people that have been in the joint like me in Quentin, I don’t why, I don’t understand it. But I don’t think it makes any difference. I don’t even understand why I’m here. But I don’t think that matters either.’

Phil says ‘It should. If you’re gonna die you should at least know why’.

Bob: ‘What for? You don’t.’

Phil: ‘I know!’

Bob: ‘No, you don’t. I’ve seen too many people die. Maybe that’s one of the reasons I’m here. ‘Cos you don’t know.’

I am still mystified tbh. Anyway, Phil starts crying his eyes out and Bob moves towards him. Then it cuts to outside where police snipers are in position for a tense few moments. Then we see the gun being dropped from the window and Bob hugging a sobbing Phil.

End of story.

The vid quality sucked - and had a centre stamp - but I giffed it anyway because that’s how I roll...

Well...

Here we go! This is my lil' boy Aztur Dreemurr! His height is 192 cm Weight - 75 kilograms Age - 21 years Personality He is quite loving, shy when it comes to romance, but then later he easily reveals himself. Unlike his brother, Aztur is courageous and never cried as a child. He hates it when they blatantly lie to his face. He is a monster who understands other people's problems. He had to grow up mentally, since his father died when Azt turned 19, so he thinks quite extensively and in an adult way, weighing all the pros and cons. He'll think twice before he does anything. He's honest with himself. Persistent when required. As a king, justice is inherent in him. Inventory Book? - Strange book with unknown symbols Revolver - This is a present from Clover (Justice Soul) to Aztur. This weapon is capable of wounds that cannot be healed by magic. Dagger - Has the effect of hyperdeath, that is, death with a chance to reborn in -1.888888% Goat's Whiskey - Whiskey, from which goat-like monsters don't get drunk Powers and Abilities Lumbrakinesis - Azt is able to control light, while giving it a temperature (Can freeze or melt something with it) Hyperspace - A multidimensional space in the transition to which, Azt may appear in a completely different place Shape Shifting - He can transform his hands into a weapon Trident - DT Weapon from Asgore Soul - Has Determination and other parts of human souls from his friends + New ablities DT - Buttons (Fight/Act/Item/Mercy) - NOT RESET/ERASE Justice - When his opponent is trying to heal themself, he gets hurt, while Aztur is regenerating his HP instead of enemy Bravery - Superhuman Physiology, which displays capabilities beyond the average human level Integrity - He cannot be tricked with illusions or clones of enemy and etc. Perseverance - Azt can ignore damage at some moment - This ability have cooldown Kindness - Azt has double HP (20 000 HP instead of 10 000) Patience - While Azt isn't moving his accuracy increases Hyperkinesis - work like telekinesis but Azt is ignoring weight and other telekinesis' limitations Aztur art by - @revolvius

Fun fact I learned in one of my psych classes:

The discovery of the disorder hyperkinesis (now referred to as ADHD) came 20 years AFTER the discovery of the drug used to treat it. They literally were like lol we have nothing to use this for but it calms kids down so let’s say there’s something wrong with them and make millions 🙃

The feeling I get when my favorite artist release a new album is so precious to me. been listening to KILL BILL and RAV for some years now.

Didn't even know they released a new album with Scuare in February but I'm so glad I checked ❤️❤️❤️

RAV and KILL BILLS albums have the most playthroughs on my phone, think I've listened to BENEATH THE TOXIC JUNGLE, Hyperkinesis, DROP SEASON and RAMONA a good 400+ times all together. And Solar Flare and NEW MOON are awesome too.

They're just all awesome. Highly recommend if you like that lo-fi hip-hop sound ❤️❤️ little bit of jazz, rock and triphop in there too it's just a super well balanced type of music

Perchance to Dream

'By 1993 I was as depressed as the inner city of fiction. I had begun to make unhelpful calculations, multiplying the number of books I'd read in the previous year by the number of years I might reasonably be expected to live, and perceiving in the three-digit product not so much an intimation of mortality as a measure of the incompatibility of the slow work of reading and the hyperkinesis of modern life. All of a sudden it seemed as if the friends of mine who used to read no longer even apologized for having stopped. When I asked a young acquaintance who had been an English major what she was reading, she replied: “You mean linear reading? Like when you read a book from start to finish?” The day after she said this, I began to write an essay called “My Obsolescence.”' 

'The consumer economy loves a product that sells at a premium, wears out quickly or is susceptible to regular improvement, and offers with each improvement some marginal gain in usefulness. To an economy like this, news that stays news is not merely an inferior product; it’s an antithetical product. A classic work of literature is inexpensive, infinitely reusable, and, worst of all, unimprovable.'

'Although good novelists don’t deliberately seek out trends, they do feel a responsibility to dramatize important issues of the day, and they now confront a culture in which almost all of the issues are burned out almost all of the time. The writer who wants to tell a story about society that’s true not just in 1996 but in 1997 as well finds herself at a loss for solid cultural referents.'

'Just as the camera drove a stake through the heart of serious portraiture and landscape painting, television has killed the novel of social reportage.'

'I can’t stomach any kind of notion that serious fiction is good for us, because I don’t believe that everything that’s wrong with the world has a cure, and even if I did, what business would I, who feel like the sick one, have in offering it? It’s hard to consider literature a medicine, in any case, when reading it serves mainly to deepen your depressing estrangement from the mainstream; sooner or later the therapeutically minded reader will end up fingering reading itself as the sickness.'

'Pride compels me, here, to draw a distinction between young fiction readers and young nerds. The classic herd, who finds a home in facts or technology or numbers, is marked not by a displaced sociability but by an antisociability. Reading does resemble more nerdy pursuits in that it’s a habit that both feeds on a sense of isolation and aggravates it. Simply being a “social isolate” as a child does not, however, doom you to bad breath and poor party skills as an adult. In fact, it can make you hypersocial. It’s just that at some point you’ll begin to feel a gnawing, almost remorseful need to be alone and do some reading--to reconnect to that community.'

'That you can now easily get a B.A. in English literature without reading Shakespeare--that students are encouraged to read the literature that is most “meaningful” to them personally, and even if they do read Shakespeare to read him as they “choose” (say, for his (mis)representations of the Other)--reflects a notion of culture that resembles nothing so much as a menu to be pointed at and clicked.'

'The current flourishing of novels by women and cultural minorities may in part represent a movement, in the face of a hyperkinetic televised reality, to anchor fiction in the only ground that doesn’t shift every six months: the author’s membership in a tribe.'

'What religion and good fiction have in common is that the answers aren’t there, there isn’t closure.'

'Silence, however, is a useful statement only if someone, somewhere, expects your voice to be loud.'

- Jonathan Franzen
