hello!! so i know ive never sent in an ask/request but.. ive been following you for a while and i love your writing style!! so i was wondering if youd be comfortable writing something where the mc/reader has tourettes syndrome? as someone who has tics it makes me lowkey sad that i never see any fics that represent that :/ (i think ive maybe read one..) so if youre comfortable with this sort of thing i have 2 scenarios that i was thinking of!!

texts with fem!reader where maybe a friend was trying to set a skz member and reader on a date and reader gets insecure thinking that he might not like her cause of her tics or think its weird? a little angst moment w a happy ending ofc :p

or headcanons/drabble of how you think a skz member(s) would be with an s/o that has tics? how they would handle tic attacks and such yk?

these are just suggestions ofc if you decide to do a reader w tics feel free to do whatever you feel like!! also i have no specific member i prefer just do whoever you see fit! or even ot8 :o

this was longer than i wanted it to be.. im so sorry :(… i love you tho and hope u have a great day/night!

(stay hydrated, you matter <3)

when i got this rec i immediately started working on it, because i think its important for people to know that they are seen. and if through one of my works i could help someone feel seen and cared for than thats what i want to do! in all honesty, i had to do a little research to better understand how to do my best to accurately represent TS; and i know it isn't perfect, but i hope it can at least be enough :) i hope you don't mind I kind of merged both of your ideas, since it came to my mind when i read through this request, and i think its a fun and wholesome way of showcasing this beautiful part about you. i know it must be extremley hard dealing with tourettes, as i've seen it in others lives, and it sometimes might be seen as a hinderance- but you were made this way with purpose, and i don't think that tourettes or anything of the sort should be seen as something ugly- but rather something that shaoes you and makes you you. i know that might seem cliche, but i beleive that differences are what what make people beautiful and i hope with these fics that shines thorugh <3 enjoy!!!

When Their Blind Date Has Tourettes Syndrome | 3Racha

Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations known as tics. These tics can be motor (such as blinking, head jerking, or facial grimaces) or vocal (such as grunting, throat clearing, or involuntary words or phrases). The severity and frequency of tics can vary greatly from person to person. TS often begins in childhood, and while symptoms can improve with age, they may persist into adulthood. The exact cause is unknown, but genetics and environmental factors are believed to play a role. The condition can often accompanied by other issues like ADHD or OCD.

Warnings: cursing

Chan

The café was quiet, the kind of serene setting perfect for a blind date. But you couldn’t fully enjoy it- not with your nerves tangled like this.

When Chan arrived, his easy smile and warm energy made it a little easier to breathe, though the thought of what could go wrong lingered at the back of your mind.

He approached with a casual wave, his hoodie slightly oversized, making him look more approachable than you’d expected. “Y/N?” he asked, his Australian accent soft and cozy.

“That’s me,” you replied, your voice steadier than you felt.

“And I’m Chan,” he introduced himself, sliding into the seat across from you. “It’s nice to finally meet you.”

“Yeah, same.” You smiled, tugging at the sleeve of your sweater.

The conversation started smoothly, easing into topics about work, hobbies, and mutual friends who had set you two up. But as your tics began surfacing- little jerks of your head, accompanied by muttered syllables- you noticed Chan’s gaze shift slightly. It wasn’t discomfort or judgment, though; it was curiosity, an openness that surprised you.

When a loud, unexpected swear escaped your lips- "Fuck! Shit!"- the words hanging awkwardly between you, your stomach dropped. The moment you’d dreaded was here. You braced yourself, heart racing.

“I…I should explain,” you started, your words hurried. “I have Tourette’s, and- uh - its the coprolalia kind." You laughed nervously. "It’s not all the time, but sometimes - goddammit - I just…swear. I promise I’m not trying to - fucking asshole - be rude or anything. I'm just involuntarily profane on occasion." You finshed with a click of your tongue.

Chan’s eyes softened, his brow furrowing slightly. “Y/N,” he said, his tone light, “you don’t need to apologize. Like you said, it’s not something you can control.”

“I just- I know it can be a lot,” you admitted, your voice wavering. “And I don’t want to mess this up, but…this is part of me, and I can’t always- ” Another tic interrupted you, louder this time. “Fucking hell!” The words burst out, and you winced, unable to stop yourself. “I already really like you,” you confessed in a rush, voice quieter now, “But if this is too much…”

Chan reached out across the table, his hand brushing yours gently. “Hey, Y/N, look at me.” His voice was soft but firm, grounding you. “It’s not too much, okay? You’re amazing, and this doesn’t change that.”

“But what if it gets worse?” you asked, the fear evident in your tone.

He smiled, leaning back in his chair. “Then I guess I’ll have to work on not laughing when you curse better than I do.” He commented, his dimple visible. He tilted his head playfully. “I mean, you’ve already got me beat. I can’t even cuss in my songs unless it’s wordplay.”

Despite yourself, a surprised laugh escaped your lips. The tension eased just a little, the weight of the moment lifting as you realized he wasn’t just accepting- he was embracing this part of you.

The rest of the date was easier after that. You talked about your favorite shows, your shared love of music, and even a bit about his work. But later, as you both stood at the café counter to pay, things took a turn.

A customer bumped into you, and you immediately spun to apologize.

“Oh I'm so- Asshole! Sorry, fuck!” The words tumbled out in quick succession, your face paling as the man turned to glare at you.

“What did you just say to me?” he demanded, his voice rising.

“I- I didn’t mean to!” you stammered, panic setting in as another tic followed. “Shut up! Oh my god, bitch fuck!”

“Are you kidding me?” The man stepped closer, anger flashing in his eyes.

Before you could respond, Chan was at your side, his presence a solid wall of protection. “Hey, back off,” he said firmly, his tone leaving no room for argument. “She has Tourette’s. She didn’t mean it.”

The man scoffed. “Right, sure.”

Chan squared his shoulders, his expression calm but unyielding. “You heard me. She can’t control it. Now, do you want to keep making a scene, or are you going to walk away?”

After a moment of tense silence, the man muttered something under his breath and turned away. Chan stayed by your side, his hand brushing the small of your back as he looked at you. “You okay?”

Tears welled in your eyes, but you nodded, feeling both overwhelmed and touched by his defense. “I’m sorry,” you whispered.

“Don’t be.” He smiled softly, brushing a tear from your cheek with his thumb. “You don’t have to apologize for being you, Y/N.”

As you left the café together, the cool night air brushed against your face, but it didn’t feel as sharp as it had earlier. Not with Chan walking beside you, his presence steady and comforting. You looked at him, your heart full, and wondered if this was what it felt like to be truly understood.

“You know,” Chan said, breaking the silence with a teasing grin, “If I ever need someone for creative adlibs, I think you’ve got a solid resume.”

You burst into laughter, the sound blending with the night, and for the first time in a long time, you felt like it was okay to just be you.

As you walked side by side down the quiet street, the tension from earlier melted away into a comfortable silence. Chan glanced at you, the way the faint glow of the streetlights caught in your hair and softened the nervous creases in your expression. He felt a quiet sense of awe settle in his chest, like he’d stumbled upon something rare and precious without even realizing it.

You were real- messy and raw and unapologetically yourself in ways that left him both grounded and inspired. He admired the way you carried the weight of your tics with grace, even when the world pushed back harder than it should. And now, as your laughter from his earlier joke faded into the stillness, he realized something else: he didn’t want this to be a fleeting moment or a passing chapter.

Chan could see it- a future where he was by your side, learning every part of what made you you. A future where he’d be the one to hold your hand during hard days and celebrate the victories that came your way. The thought both terrified and thrilled him, but as he glanced down at you, your soft smile easing the ache of your earlier tears, he couldn’t imagine wanting anything else.

"Y/N," he said softly, his voice breaking through the quiet. "Thanks for letting me see this side of you tonight. I mean it- it makes me want to stick around."

You looked at him, surprised by the sincerity in his tone, but the warmth in his gaze left no room for doubt. And as you continued walking together into the night, your heart felt just a little lighter, the first stirrings of something new and hopeful beginning to take root.

Changbin

Changbin had been skeptical about the blind date from the start. His friends had teased him relentlessly, insisting he needed to “put himself out there,” and while he’d grumbled about it, here he was. Standing in line at the movie theater, his phone buzzed with a quick text confirming you’d arrived.

When his eyes met yours across the crowded lobby, his breath caught. You were standing near the concessions, shifting nervously on your feet as you looked around. There was something endearingly hesitant about the way you tucked a strand of hair behind your ear, like you were steeling yourself.

"Hi," you greeted softly when he approached, offering a shy smile. Your voice was gentle but warm, and it immediately put him at ease.

“Hey,” he replied, his grin spreading easily. “You must be Y/N.”

As you nodded, a quick, staccato whistle broke through the air- a sound you made involuntarily. It was followed by a soft “meow” and an apologetic wince on your part.

“I’m sorry,” you said quickly, your gaze darting to his face as if bracing for judgment.

Changbin tilted his head slightly, his expression curious but kind. “Did you just...meow?” A musical sound lilted amusingly at the end of his sentence.

Your cheeks flushed. “I- um- I have Tourette’s,” you explained in a rush, your words tumbling over each other. “I can’t always control my tics, and sometimes they’re, uh…kind of random. Like the meowing. Or…” You paused as another whistle slipped out, followed by a faint, high-pitched “boo!”

For a moment, he just blinked at you, then broke into a wide smile. “In all honesty...that’s kind of adorable. You’re like a sound effects board.”

Your jaw dropped slightly, caught off guard by his response. “You don’t think it’s… weird?”

He shrugged, his gaze warm and steady. “Everyone’s got their quirks. Yours just happen to make you sound like a cartoon character, and honestly, I think that’s awesome.”

Relief flooded your features, and your shoulders relaxed slightly. “Most people don’t really see it that way.”

“Well, most people are missing out.” He shot you a playful wink, and when you laughed, the tension in the air dissolved.

The two of you fell into an easy rhythm as you moved through the line, chatting about everything from favorite movies to your shared love of snacks. Changbin couldn’t help but notice how your tics- whistles, squeaks, and the occasional unexpected phrase- seemed to punctuate your sentences like exclamation points.

“Honestly,” he said at one point, his tone teasing, “your tics match my cute energy, don't you think?” He said poking his cheek in mock aegeyo. "It's babygirl heaven, don't you think?"

You laughed so hard at that, you nearly dropped your drink. “I cannot believe you just said that.”

He grinned, pleased with himself. “What can I say? Its the truth.”

But as you approached the counter to pick up your popcorn, the mood shifted. A group of teens standing nearby had been snickering quietly, but their whispers grew louder when one of your tics- a sudden, sharp “woof!” -rang out.

“Did she just bark?” one of them muttered, barely concealing a laugh.

Another chimed in, mockingly imitating the sound.

Your cheeks flushed, and you quickly turned away, mumbling an apology to the cashier as another tic- this time a chirped “uh-oh!”- slipped out. The laughter from the group grew louder, and you visibly flinched, trying to shrink into yourself.

Before you could even process what was happening, Changbin stepped forward, his voice cutting through the commotion like a blade. “Hey, is there a problem?”

The teens fell silent, their smug grins faltering under the weight of his glare.

“Because if there is,” he continued, his tone calm but laced with steel, “I suggest you take a good, long look at yourselves and figure out why you think laughing at someone for something they can’t control makes you feel better about your own lives.”

One of them opened their mouth to respond, but the words seemed to die on their tongue as Changbin took a deliberate step closer, his presence suddenly towering despite his shorter frame.

“Thought so,” he said, his smile tight and unyielding. “Now, if you’ll excuse us.”

He turned back to you, his expression softening immediately. “You okay?”

Your throat felt tight, but you managed a nod, blinking back the sting of tears. “Yeah. I just…I’m embarrassed.”

“Embarrassed? For what?” His brow furrowed in genuine confusion.

“For causing a scene. For…” You hesitated, your voice breaking slightly. “For being a lot.”

Changbin’s expression softened, but his voice was steady and firm as he rested his hand gently on your arm, grounding you. “Y/N, you are just you. And anyone who can’t see how amazing that is doesn’t deserve your time, okay?”

The sincerity in his voice was overwhelming, his gaze so earnest it made your chest ache. For a moment, all you could do was nod, your chest tightening with a mix of gratitude and something deeper you couldn’t quite name.

As the two of you settled into your seats in the theater, he handed you your drink, his shoulder brushing yours in a way that felt both casual and deliberate. He leaned closer, his tone warm and teasing. "Like I said, I think your tics are adorable. And with a face like yours, I don't think any tic could be ugly or embarrassing."

Your laugh bubbled out, soft and genuine, and his grin widened. The tension you’d been carrying began to ease, replaced by a quiet sense of comfort.

Throughout the movie, you couldn’t help but notice the way he’d glance at you when you laughed at a scene or leaned forward slightly during an intense moment. It wasn’t just the movie holding his attention- it was you.

And Changbin knew it. With every glance, every tiny movement you made, he felt his resolve strengthening. He didn’t just want to spend the evening with you; he wanted to be part of your life in every way. He wanted to learn all the things that made you laugh, what made your eyes light up, what brought out the quiet confidence he’d glimpsed earlier.

He wanted to be the person you trusted with every part of yourself, the one who reminded you how extraordinary you were even when you couldn’t see it.

When the credits rolled, he stayed seated for a moment, turning to face you as you stretched and looked over at him. His chest tightened as he saw the way your smile hesitated, like you weren’t sure he’d want to stick around for more.

But he did. He wanted everything.

“How about dinner?” he asked, his words quick but hopeful. “I mean…if you’re up for it. I’d really like to keep talking to you. About anything. Everything.” His voice softened, carrying a weight of sincerity that made your breath catch. “I want to know you, Y/N. All of you.”

Your cheeks warmed, and a smile broke across your face, shy but unguarded. “I’d like that.”

As the two of you walked out of the theater, the night air felt lighter, the buzz of the world around you fading into the background. Changbin fell into step beside you, his shoulder brushing yours again.

Then, without hesitation, he reached out, his hand slipping into yours. His touch was gentle but firm, grounding, like he wanted to hold onto you in every way.

Your fingers curled around his, and when you glanced up, his smile softened, his dark eyes brimming with something you couldn’t quite name.

In that moment, Changbin wasn’t just thinking about the next date or the night ahead. He was thinking about the way you made his heart race, the way you made him feel alive in a way he hadn’t realized he was missing.

He wanted more of this- more of you. Not just tonight, not just a few dates, but always. And as his thumb brushed lightly over the back of your hand, he realized one thing: he didn’t just want you around. He wanted you in his life, forever.

And he was so happy he didn't say no to this blind date.

Han

Han Jisung had never considered himself the blind-date type. He liked to think of himself as spontaneous, sure- but not this kind of spontaneous. Yet, here he was, bundled in his favorite oversized hoodie, leaning against the railing of the city’s rooftop garden, waiting for a stranger.

When he saw you, his first thought was that his friend had undersold this whole setup. You weren’t at all what he expected- not that he knew what to expect. You were a breathtaking kind of pretty. And Han's heart flipped his chest.

You walked up with a careful sort of confidence, clutching the strap of your tote bag, your breath misting in the cool night air.

“Hi,” you greeted with a shy smile, your head tilting slightly as you blinked rapidly, followed by a quick jerk of your shoulder.

“Hi,” Jisung replied, pretending not to notice. He already felt his nerves settle slightly. There was something about you that felt...real.

Your mutual friend had mentioned you liked quiet settings, so instead of a loud restaurant or café, the garden had seemed like a good idea. Jisung gestured to the path leading further into the rooftop greenery. “Shall we walk?”

You nodded, your steps matching his, though every few strides you tapped your fingers against your leg. A small tic, but it was constant, like a rhythm you needed to keep.

The conversation started slow. Typical blind-date awkwardness lingered, but Jisung’s natural humor quickly worked its way in. He made a joke about the chilly weather, earning a laugh from you that felt like a little victory.

“So,” he began after a lull, “what’s your favorite thing to do in the city? Or are you more of a stay-home-and-chill type?”

“I like to stay in most days,” you admitted, tilting your head again as your hand briefly flicked out to your side. “I guess I’m more introverted. But when I do go out, I like quieter places…like this.”

“Good choice,” Jisung agreed, kicking the ground nervously. “Crowds are overrated anyway.”

You laughed softly, but your shoulders twitched again, more pronounced this time. You tried to suppress it, but Jisung caught the way your hand clenched slightly afterward, as if bracing yourself.

As the walk continued, your tics became more noticeable- a rapid blinking, a jerk of your wrist, the occasional tap of your foot on the pavement mid-stride. You hesitated for a moment before stopping by a bench, your hand brushing against your hair as you looked at the ground.

“Hey,” you said, your voice quieter now, “I think I should tell you something.”

Jisung turned to face you, his brow furrowed in concern. “What’s up?”

“I have Tourette’s,” you explained, your tone steady but guarded. “It’s not super severe, I've learned to live with it most days, but…I wanted to mention it in case…” You trailed off, your hand twitching slightly toward your chest before falling back to your lap.

“In case what?” Jisung asked gently.

“In case it’s…too much.”

For a moment, Jisung stared at you, his face unreadable. You wondered if you’d just ruined the evening. But then he spoke, his voice tinged with disbelief.

“Too much? Are you kidding? I can be a lot. Like, ask anyone.”

You blinked at him, caught off guard by his lighthearted tone.

“I mean, seriously,” he continued, gesturing wildly for emphasis. “I talk way too much when I’m nervous, I lose stuff constantly, and don’t even get me started on how clumsy I am. If anyone’s a walking chaos machine, it’s me.”

You laughed softly, but it didn’t last long. Your shoulder jerked twice, quickly followed by an involuntary flick of your hand. You sighed, your lips trembling slightly as you looked away. “But it’s not just that, Jisung,” you muttered, your voice breaking slightly. “I… I don’t want to mess this up.”

His teasing grin faded, replaced by a look of concern. “Mess what up?”

“This,” you whispered, blinking rapidly as tears welled in your eyes. “You’re so nice, and I already really like you, but then there’s… me. My tics. It’s not just that I get nervous; it’s that I can’t stop it. And I hate thinking that it might make people uncomfortable, even if they don’t mean for it to.”

Your words spilled out faster than you could stop them, and you quickly wiped at your eyes, frustrated with yourself. “I don’t want to scare you away. But I…I don’t know how not to. Everyone else has been scared away before- but you seem really nice and I actually feel something and I don't want to put hope into something that-”

Jisung felt his chest tighten at your words. Without thinking, he dropped down to sit beside you on the bench, interupting you, his tone soft but firm. “Hey, hey, don’t cry. Please don’t cry.”

You shook your head, a small, bitter laugh slipping out. “Sorry, I’m just…making this worse, aren't I?” You flicked your hand out again, accidentally slapping Han.

“No,” he said quickly. “No, you’re not. I mean it.”

When you didn’t respond, Jisung hesitated before reaching out, his hand hovering awkwardly near your shoulder. “Can I…?”

You nodded, and he gently rested his hand there, his thumb brushing lightly against the fabric of your coat. “Listen,” he began, “I don’t know who made you think you had to be scared of people running away from you being you, but they’re wrong. You’re…you’re great. And brave, too, for being so honest about this. I admire that.”

You blinked at him through your tears, caught off guard by the sincerity in his voice. You hand jerked out, but this time he caught it, intertwining his fingers with yours.

“And honestly?” he continued, a small smile tugging at his lips, as he rubbed his hands over your manicured nails. “You’re not scaring me away. Like, at all. If anything, you’re just making me want to know you better.”

You let out a shaky breath, his words sinking in slowly but surely. “Really?”

“Really,” he confirmed, his eyes crinkling with warmth. “And besides, I kind of suck at running, Like really really suck. I trip more than I actually run.”

A soft laugh escaped you then, the tension in your chest easing for the first time that evening. “You’re kind of amazing, you know that?”

Jisung’s cheeks flushed pink, but he shrugged playfully. “I mean, I try.”

The rest of the night felt lighter. The two of you walked through the garden, Han's hand still in yours, your tics still present but no longer a source of discomfort. Every now and then, Jisung would glance at you- never with pity, but with curiosity and something warmer, softer.

As the two of you stopped at the edge of the rooftop, overlooking the twinkling lights below, Jisung turned to you with a thoughtful expression.

“You know,” he said, his voice softer now, “I think this is my favorite blind date ever.”

You raised an eyebrow. “How many have you been on?”

“This is my first,” he admitted with a sheepish laugh, scratching the back of his neck. “But still! It’s gonna be hard to top…”

You raised an eyebrow, giving him an amused look.

“Not that I want it to be topped,” he continued quickly, a bit flustered. “I always kind of figured I’d be a one-and-done deal. Like my first is my last...and, I mean, it might be way too soon to say, but I think I lucked out with you…I kind of just feel it.”

You rolled your eyes, but a smile couldn’t help but tug at your lips.

“Really, though,” Jisung added, his gaze earnest, eyes softening. “I had a great time tonight. And…if you’re up for it, I’d like to properly date you...”

“Even with my…” You gestured vaguely, your voice trailing off.

"Because of it," he corrected gently, his voice soft but unwavering. His eyes searched yours, full of warmth and something deeper that made your breath catch. "It's part of you- every piece of it. And I don’t just like who you are…I can easily see myself fall for you."

His words hung in the cool night air, wrapping around you like a tender embrace. For a moment, you couldn’t speak, your heart pounding so fiercely it was a wonder he couldn’t hear it.

“Jisung…” you murmured, your voice shaky but full of emotion.

He smiled, that familiar sheepish tilt to his lips, but his gaze stayed steady, unwavering in its honesty. “I don’t want this to be just a ‘one and done’ date. I want to keep getting to know you. To see where this could go. So that maybe you can be my one and done person.”

Your lips curved into a soft smile, your chest tightening with something you hadn’t dared to hope for. “Okay,” you whispered, the word carrying more weight than you expected. “I’d like that too.”

His grin widened, and the way he looked at you in that moment- like you were the only person in the world- made you feel like you could get used to this, to him, far too easily.

[tmbatcat]

YEAH!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!! TELL ME ABOUT YOUR SKILLS!!! :D!!!!!

HEELL YYEE!!! Let me just spill my guts out !!

This may be a little long :]

(You may know this but is good to recap)

Ok, small story time! Basically I drew them becourse I read spilledkaleidoscopes works and in the second part Kim gets his own skills and there are only 8 and I was like "Fuck, If I were to make my own skill I am not forced to the albatrairie number 24 and also not forced to include all of physique and motorics gangs and i could just mix and match and nobody would care." so that's basically what I did

i took me 20 hours to figure their designs out (I am not kidding btw, i looked through the ibispaint recording) and 10 more to render them out to a point that i would say it's acceptable (i would have stayed longer if i wasn't physically and mentally tired of this little project and i also told myself that they will never be perfect and that OK)

more drawings for your pleasure (some not posted yet)

Ok now let's actually talk about the 8 dummies: (i will compare them to Harry's skills and other stuff for better understanding)(also I will includes an edgy description) [anything in square brackets are just my notes over the skill]

DOUBT - LOGIC + anxiety + masking - Logic tainted by how many times you got burned. You now know what to hide; all your cracks and imperfections. Your mask won't peel from your face, you forgot to take it off at some point and now you don't ever remember what you look like. Good luck with that, people would hate you more without it and you know it; I bore that though your head everyday.

[The little Jean in all of us. A strung up anxious mess that can't understand that people actually like you and that perfection is impossible. A lil hater.]

MECHANICAL HEART - EMPATHY + video game/movie logic - Understansing through empathy and pattern recognition. Don't understand someone? That's OK, use your vast knowledge of media to put them into little boxes and label them. People are more complicated than that but I am just a tool. I tune in on everyone and everythings frequency and if you don't understand something you look through the file drawer of your mind.

[My internet riddled brain can only understand tropes. I have so much brainrot that it can not be contained, it spreds to everything]

SENSOR - ENDURANCE + PERCEPTION + INTERFACING + autism - Caretaker of the temple. For other people it's automatic. Sadly, yours isn't. You forget to eat if nobody reminds you. So that's why I'm here. Your nerves are also more sensitive than most. It doesn't help that the world has so many textures and hard edges. I relay all the info as soon as I get it, though it's late most of the time.

KNOW-HOW - ADHD info dump (basically ENCYCLOPEDIE) - Keeper of the librarys. You know, your mind is like a library, but without any of the labeling a normal library would use. More of a big collection of storys and fun-facts you know. When you don't ask them for a piece of information in particular, they chime in with something that is vaguely connected to the conversation.

WILLPOWER - VOLITION + a crumb of SHIVERS - Makeing peace with it all. I am silent most of the time but not, because I don't care. I talk only to remind you of the world's humanity. When you are at ypur lowest. You need to go on. You can take a break, maybe cry a little, but never actually give up. The world doesn't end with you, and it's worse without you in it.

[they don't talk a lot cuz I am a depressed lil bitch]

DAY DREAM - INLAND EMPIRE + VISUALIZATION + CONCEPTUALIZATION - Close your eyes and see other worlds. Colors, characters, ideas, scenarios; all swirling in that little head of yours. They just make the puppets move for your own amusement. They unfortunately play with your puppet too, making you watch scenarios wherein you die a lot, but what can you do? You can't stop it. It has it upsides through, mainly escapism.

CHASE - ELECTRO-CHEMISTRY + ADHD hyperactivity + autistic hyperfixation - Longing for paradise and ambrosia. Comfort over anything else. They love to indulge and party. Not actually party. You know, more like watching youtube alone or with friends while eating chips at 2 AM. That is your type of party. Your batteries run low most of time, so a good game and a snack also work.

[ELECTRO-CHEMISTRY but a bit chiller, no drug related stuff, if sugar doesn't count. They just love good brain juice]

FLARE - HALF LIGHT + PAIN THRESHOLD - The fire that burns within us all. A caged animal that hisses at anything that comes near. In general it sits in corner, waiting, only popping it's head out to shriek profanities at whatever rattled the cage. All bark, no bite. A problem that you have is that you forget how people wronged you, but I'm here, I remember. Only emotions, but that is enough. You shouldn't give out so many second chances.

How does an engine contribute to a car's powertrain?

The powertrain in a vehicle is the system responsible for generating power and delivering it to the wheels to propel the vehicle forward. The operation of a powertrain can vary depending on whether the vehicle is powered by an internal combustion engine (ICE) or an electric motor (in the case of electric vehicles). Here's a general overview of how a powertrain works in both types of vehicles:

Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Vehicle - Combustion Process: In an ICE vehicle, the powertrain starts with the combustion process in the engine. Fuel (gasoline or diesel) mixes with air in the combustion chamber and is ignited by spark plugs (in gasoline engines) or compression (in diesel engines).

Power Generation: The combustion process generates energy in the form of mechanical power, causing pistons to move up and down within the cylinders of the engine. This motion drives the crankshaft, converting linear motion into rotational motion.

Transmission: The rotational motion from the crankshaft is transmitted to the transmission, which consists of gears that allow the driver to select different ratios (speeds). This enables the engine to operate efficiently across a range of vehicle speeds.

Drivetrain: The transmission sends power to the drivetrain components, including the driveshaft, differential, and axles, which transfer power to the wheels. The differential allows the wheels to rotate at different speeds, enabling smooth turns.

Wheel Movement: The power transmitted through the drivetrain causes the wheels to rotate, propelling the vehicle forward or backward depending on the gear selection and throttle input from the driver.

Electric Vehicle (EV) -

Battery Pack: The primary source of power for the EV, storing electricity in chemical form.Powers the electric motor and provides electricity for all electronic devices within the EV.

Battery Management System (BMS): Monitors battery cell conditions, including voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge (SoC).It protects the battery against overcharging, deep discharging, and overheating and helps balance the charge across cells. Ensures optimal performance and longevity of the battery by regulating its environment.

Inverter: Converts DC from the battery pack into AC to drive the electric motor.Adjusts the frequency and amplitude of the AC output to control the motor’s speed and torque. Critical for translating electrical energy into mechanical energy efficiently.

Onboard Charger: Facilitates the conversion of external AC (from the grid) to DC to charge the battery pack. Integrated within the vehicle, allowing for charging from standard electrical outlets or specialized EV charging stations. Manages charging rate based on battery status to ensure safe and efficient charging.

DC-DC Converter: Steps down the high-voltage DC from the battery pack to the lower-voltage DC needed for the vehicle's auxiliary systems, such as lighting, infotainment, and climate control. Ensures compatibility between the high-voltage battery system and low-voltage electronic components.

Electric Motor: Converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to propel the vehicle. It can be of various types, such as induction motors or permanent magnet synchronous motors, each offering different efficiencies and characteristics. Typically provides instant torque, resulting in rapid acceleration.

Vehicle Control Unit (VCU): The central computer or electronic control unit (ECU) that governs the EV's systems. Processes inputs from the vehicle’s sensors and driver inputs to manage power delivery, regenerative braking, and vehicle dynamics. Ensures optimal performance, energy efficiency, and safety.

Power Distribution Unit (PDU): Manages electrical power distribution from the battery to the EV’s various systems. Ensures that components such as the electric motor, onboard charger, and DC-DC converter receive the power they need to operate efficiently. Protects the vehicle's electrical systems by regulating current flow and preventing electrical faults.

In both ICE vehicles and EVs, the powertrain's components work together to convert energy into motion, enabling the vehicle to move efficiently and effectively. However, the specific technologies and processes involved differ significantly between the two propulsion systems.

Achieve Precision Motion Control with Robust Piezoelectric Bimorphs

A piezoelectric bimorph is a specialized bending actuator or sensor comprised of two bonded piezoelectric ceramic layers separated by an inner passive layer. When subjected to an electric field, one ceramic layer expands while the other contracts due to the converse piezoelectric effect, causing the composite to bend. This bending motion can be harnessed for precision actuation and vibration control applications.

The central passive layer, typically made of a metal or polymer, provides mechanical support and prevents electrical shorting between the two active piezo layers. The ceramic layers are poled during manufacturing to align their electric dipole moments in opposite axial directions. When an electric field is applied across the bimorph’s thickness, one layer expands longitudinally while the other contracts, resulting in a net bending displacement perpendicular to the field direction.

By embedding the drive circuit directly into the motor, it achieves a high degree of integration between the motor and the driver, simplifies the installation process, reduces maintenance costs, and has significant advantages in space-constrained applications due to its compact structural design.

2.Working principle of integrated stepper motors The working principle of integrated stepper motors is based on the effects of electromagnetic induction and magnetic torque. When the motor receives a pulse signal, the driver controls the rotation angle and speed of the motor according to the frequency and duty cycle of the signal. Specifically, the driver energizes each phase winding of the motor in turn to generate a rotating magnetic field, which in turn generates a magnetic torque in the rotor, causing the rotor to rotate according to a predetermined step angle. By precisely controlling the frequency and number of pulse signals, precise positioning and speed regulation of the motor can be achieved.

3.Main advantages of integrated stepper motors

1.Integrated design: The integrated stepper motor integrates the driver and the motor body, simplifies the system structure, and reduces the difficulty of installation and maintenance. This design reduces external connection points, thereby reducing the failure rate and improving the reliability of the system. ‌2. High-performance control: The closed-loop control technology is adopted to realize precise control of the motor by real-time feedback of the motor's position and speed information, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the system. The closed-loop control technology effectively suppresses the step-out phenomenon of the stepper motor and improves the positioning accuracy and repeat positioning accuracy of the system. ‌3. High-efficiency energy conversion: The design of the motor and the driver is optimized, the power conversion efficiency is improved, the energy consumption is reduced, and it meets the requirements of green environmental protection.

Enhanced anti-interference ability: By optimizing the electromagnetic compatibility design and adopting advanced signal processing technology, the system's anti-interference ability to electromagnetic interference and environmental noise is enhanced.

6.Reduce operating costs: High-efficiency energy conversion and intelligent operation help reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs and improve the overall economic benefits of the equipment.

4.Precautions for the use of integrated stepper motors

1.Inspection before installation: Before installation, check whether there is mechanical collision or cross interference of other objects around the integrated stepper motor. Choose a solid, flat ground to ensure that the motor is placed stably without shaking or tilting. When connecting the power supply and other auxiliary electrical equipment, pay attention to the correctness of the power supply voltage, frequency and phase sequence.

2.Daily inspection and maintenance: Before daily use, check whether the waveform of the power supply voltage and current of the integrated stepper motor is normal, and whether the various parameters meet the requirements. At the same time, check the mechanical parts of the motor (such as bearings, transmission belts, reducers, etc.) to ensure that all parameters are in normal condition.

3.Operation precautions: Before starting, keep the operating switch in the off state, and set the controller and power switch correctly. When starting, the speed and position should be adjusted gradually to ensure that the motor runs smoothly. During acceleration, try to avoid sudden acceleration or sudden braking of the motor to avoid affecting the life and stability of the motor. During normal operation, if an abnormal condition (such as mechanical shock, power failure, etc.) is encountered, the operation must be stopped immediately and the fault can be eliminated before continuing to use. ‌4. Maintenance procedures‌: Keep the equipment clean and tidy, clean the integrated stepper motor regularly, and avoid damage to the machine by dust, grease and particles. It is recommended to perform a comprehensive cleaning and maintenance of the equipment once a month. ‌5. Working environment requirements‌: The insulation material standard of the stepper motor is ULB grade, the surface temperature of the motor should be lower than 100°, and the coil temperature rise should be controlled within 80K. High temperature will affect the safety of the insulation system and the stability of the motor. Therefore, special attention should be paid to controlling the temperature rise of the motor when using it in a high temperature environment. This can be achieved by strengthening the heat dissipation conditions or reducing the working current of the motor.

Power Without Noise: The Elegant Intelligence Behind the DC-DC Converter

We live in a world powered by invisible rivers of energy. Whether it’s your phone charging on the desk, an EV gliding silently down the highway, or a satellite stabilizing its orbit above Earth, all of it depends on a quiet and tireless guardian: the DC-DC converter.

It doesn’t have a flashing screen or make mechanical sounds. But it’s doing something profound—transforming power with precision. If you’ve ever wondered how today’s electronics, vehicles, and machines stay so compact, efficient, and smart, the answer often lies in the humble DC-DC converter.

A Quiet Transformer in the Digital Age

Electricity isn’t always one-size-fits-all. Devices and systems require varying voltage levels, depending on the task. A processor might need 1.2V, a motor controller 12V, and a battery bank 48V. But if all you have is a 24V supply, how do you cater to such variety without loss?

This is where DC-DC converters come in. They regulate voltage from one DC level to another—efficiently and reliably.

But here’s the kicker: they’re not just voltage changers. They’re voltage sculptors. They take raw power and fine-tune it with intelligence, efficiency, and minimal heat loss.

DC to DC: What's the Real Deal?

To the non-engineer, a DC-DC converter may seem abstract. So let’s unpack it in simple terms:

Step-down converters (buck) lower the input voltage to power sensitive electronics.

Step-up converters (boost) raise low voltages—useful in things like portable solar power banks.

Buck-boost converters can do both, ideal in systems where voltage fluctuates unpredictably.

They’re made of inductors, capacitors, switches (often transistors), and controllers. The switching mechanism rapidly turns power on and off—so fast that your devices never feel the pulses. Instead, they receive a steady, safe, and clean voltage.

Think of it as a dance—precision, timing, and flow—except it happens millions of times per second.

The Real-World Importance

Let’s get practical. Say you're designing a drone. You’ve got a Li-ion battery that outputs 14.8V, but your motor controller needs 12V and your GPS module 5V. With space and weight at a premium, you need compact, efficient power conversion.

Enter a compact, multi-output DC-DC converter.

In the automotive world, DC-DC converters play a massive role. Modern electric vehicles often have high-voltage batteries (400–800V) but still require 12V to run legacy systems like lights, wipers, and infotainment. A DC-DC converter bridges that gap—quietly ensuring every component gets what it needs.

And in space tech? Satellites must operate efficiently with constrained solar energy. There's no room for waste. That’s why aerospace engineers obsess over high-efficiency DC-DC converters with radiation-hardened designs. They might not make headlines, but they keep the mission alive.

Efficiency Isn’t Optional—It’s Mission-Critical

Every watt lost in conversion equals:

Heat that needs to be dissipated

Power that must be generated (and paid for)

Batteries that deplete faster

Components that wear down sooner

Today’s converters boast efficiencies of 95% or more. That means less heat, longer life, and smaller form factors. And in battery-powered systems, that efficiency can directly translate into hours more runtime.

In data centers, for example, thousands of servers depend on high-density power supplies with integrated DC-DC converters. A 1% efficiency improvement could save hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in energy and cooling costs.

Innovation: From Bulky to Ultra-Compact

Just a decade ago, power supplies were bulky and heavy. But with advances in GaN (Gallium Nitride) and SiC (Silicon Carbide) semiconductor technologies, DC-DC converters are shrinking rapidly while delivering more power.

These new-age materials switch faster, generate less heat, and allow higher-frequency operation—meaning smaller inductors and capacitors. The result? A converter that fits in your smartwatch yet handles power like a champ.

And it’s not just about size. It’s also about control.

Modern converters come with digital interfaces—PMBus, I²C, or UART—so system designers can monitor voltage, temperature, and current in real time. Smart converters are no longer passive hardware—they’re programmable, adaptive, and data-rich.

Let’s Talk Human: Why Should You Care?

You might not be designing a rocket or an EV. But chances are, if you’re in product design, industrial automation, or even IT infrastructure, you’ve already faced the challenge of powering diverse systems cleanly and safely.

A poorly chosen or inefficient DC-DC converter might lead to:

Device overheating

Unexpected shutdowns

EMI issues that interfere with wireless signals

Reduced lifespan for expensive components

On the flip side, a thoughtfully integrated converter means:

Smaller PCBs

Cooler operations

Lower energy bills

Happier end-users

In essence, choosing the right DC-DC converter is a high-leverage engineering decision—quietly influencing performance, reliability, and customer satisfaction.

Application Spotlight: Solar + Storage

Let’s take a green energy example. A solar-powered off-grid system might generate power in DC—say 18V from panels—but store it in 12V batteries and run devices at 5V USB or 24V for a water pump.

Here, multiple DC-DC converters orchestrate this energy symphony:

MPPT charge controllers use buck or buck-boost converters

Inverters depend on steady DC input for efficient AC output

USB charging hubs rely on precision 5V outputs

And if these converters weren’t efficient, the whole premise of “green” would start to crack.

The Future Is Smart, Modular, and Even Smaller

Looking ahead, the world is moving toward distributed, modular power systems. Imagine every module—whether it’s a sensor, a display, or a motor—having its own mini converter that adapts to the central supply.

The result? Simplified system design, better energy use, and easier scaling.

This modular vision is being realized in 5G base stations, autonomous robots, and edge computing nodes. The unsung hero behind it all? You guessed it—the DC-DC converter.

Final Thought: Honor the Invisible Genius

In a world that celebrates sleek screens, shiny finishes, and user interfaces, it’s easy to forget the underlying intelligence that makes it all possible.

But engineers know. Designers know. And now—you know.

So the next time you see a high-performing, ultra-thin, cool-running device, think about what’s inside. Somewhere behind that flawless function is a compact, efficient DC-DC converter quietly doing its job, a guardian of clean power in a chaotic electrical world.

Input Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and Control Systems in Multistage Pumps

Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and control systems are essential for optimizing the performance of multistage pumps, particularly in systems where energy efficiency, flow control, and demand-based operation are critical. These systems provide dynamic control over the motor’s speed and operation, resulting in significant energy savings, improved performance, and enhanced system longevity.

Here, we'll break down the role of VFDs and control systems, their function in multistage pumps, and the benefits they provide.

1. What Are Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs)?

A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is an electronic device used to control the speed and torque of an electric motor by varying the frequency of the power supplied to the motor. VFDs adjust the motor's operating speed based on real-time system requirements, which makes them highly effective in applications where flow rates or pressure fluctuate.

How VFDs Work:

AC Power Conversion: A VFD converts AC power (alternating current) into DC power (direct current) and then reconverts it back to AC power at the desired frequency. By controlling the frequency, the VFD regulates the motor speed.

Motor Speed Control: The motor’s speed is proportional to the frequency of the supplied voltage. By adjusting the frequency, the VFD adjusts the rotational speed of the pump’s motor and, consequently, the speed of the impellers.

2. Role of VFDs in Multistage Pumps

In multistage pumps, VFDs allow for dynamic control of the motor, optimizing both performance and energy consumption. The ability to adjust the motor speed based on system demands is particularly beneficial in applications where flow rates and pressures fluctuate.

How VFDs Benefit Multistage Pumps:

Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings:

Reduced Power Consumption: VFDs adjust the motor speed to match the system’s needs. This means the motor operates at the required speed, avoiding the need to run at full speed during periods of low demand. This results in substantial energy savings over time, as the motor does not consume unnecessary power.

Power Savings: Since the power required by a pump is proportional to the cube of the motor speed, even small reductions in speed can lead to significant energy savings. For example, reducing the motor speed by 20% can result in up to 50% less energy consumption.

Smooth and Variable Operation:

Adapting to System Demands: VFDs enable smooth operation by adjusting the speed of the motor in real-time based on the required flow or pressure. This makes multistage pumps adaptable to fluctuating demands, such as varying flow rates in water distribution systems or fluctuating pressure requirements in industrial applications.

Avoiding Sudden Pressure Spikes: VFDs help avoid sudden pressure changes, which can lead to issues like water hammer, pump failure, or cavitation. Instead, the pump operates with consistent pressure and flow, improving system stability.

Improved System Longevity:

Reduced Mechanical Stress: By adjusting the motor speed to match system demand, VFDs reduce mechanical stress on the pump components, such as impellers and bearings. This leads to less wear and tear on the system and extended operational life of the pump.

Prevention of Overloading: VFDs prevent the motor from running at excessive speeds, reducing the risk of overloading or overheating, both of which can damage pump components.

Precise Flow and Pressure Control:

Optimized Flow Rate: In systems where the flow rate needs to be precise, VFDs allow for real-time control over the pump speed. This is especially useful in applications such as HVAC systems, chemical dosing, or water treatment, where consistent flow is required to maintain system balance.

Pressure Control: In multistage pumps, controlling the motor speed via a VFD can adjust the system pressure as needed, ensuring that the fluid is pumped at the correct pressure to meet the system’s needs.

Reduced Starting and Stopping Impact:

Soft Start/Stop: VFDs allow the motor to start gradually (a soft start), rather than abruptly. This reduces the mechanical shock to the pump and other components, minimizing the risk of damage or excessive wear. It also helps avoid high inrush currents that could cause power system instability.

Controlled Stopping: Similarly, VFDs enable controlled stopping of the motor, reducing wear on seals and bearings and preventing pressure surges that can cause damage to the system.

3. Pump Control Systems for Multistage Pumps

A control system for a multistage pump is a set of integrated electronics and software that regulates the operation of the pump, typically in conjunction with a VFD. The control system works by monitoring key performance parameters such as pressure, flow rate, motor speed, and temperature, and adjusting the motor speed or other variables to optimize performance.

Key Functions of Pump Control Systems:

Real-Time Monitoring:

The control system continuously monitors the pump’s operating conditions, including parameters like pressure, flow, and temperature.

It provides feedback on the pump’s performance, which is essential for ensuring it operates within optimal ranges.

Automatic Adjustment of VFD:

Based on input from sensors, the control system can automatically adjust the speed of the motor using the VFD to meet the system’s changing demands. This ensures that the pump operates efficiently, whether the flow is high or low.

Protective Functions:

Overload Protection: The control system can detect when the pump is operating outside its recommended parameters, such as drawing too much current or reaching a high temperature, and can take action to protect the system, like slowing down the motor or shutting down the pump.

Dry-Running Protection: The system can also monitor for conditions like dry running, where the pump operates without adequate fluid, which could damage the motor and pump components.

Optimized Energy Usage:

The control system adjusts the VFD to operate the pump at the most efficient speed based on real-time system demands. By minimizing energy waste, the control system helps ensure that the pump operates with maximum energy efficiency.

Remote Control and Monitoring:

Many modern control systems offer remote access via IoT (Internet of Things) or SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems, allowing operators to monitor and adjust pump performance from a central location. This remote capability is especially useful in large-scale or remote installations.

4. Benefits of VFDs and Control Systems in Multistage Pumps

1. Energy Savings

By adjusting motor speed to meet system demand, VFDs significantly reduce energy consumption compared to pumps that run at full speed all the time.

Optimizing the motor speed ensures that the pump is never overworking, resulting in lower energy bills and reduced carbon emissions.

2. Improved System Efficiency

VFDs and control systems ensure that the pump operates at optimal conditions, providing precise flow and pressure control. This translates into higher system efficiency, reduced waste, and better overall performance.

3. Longer Pump and Motor Life

Soft starts and gradual stops reduce mechanical stress on both the motor and pump components, leading to longer equipment life and reduced maintenance requirements.

The VFD’s ability to adjust the motor speed based on demand also reduces the risk of motor overheating, which extends its service life.

4. Reduced Maintenance Costs

By providing precise control over motor speed and pressure, VFDs and control systems reduce unnecessary wear and tear on components, leading to lower maintenance and repair costs.

Fewer breakdowns and less frequent maintenance result in less downtime and increased productivity.

5. Enhanced Reliability

The ability to monitor and adjust system parameters in real time ensures that the pump operates within safe and efficient ranges. This minimizes the likelihood of failures and ensures consistent, reliable performance.

6. Flexibility and Scalability

The system’s flexibility allows it to adapt to changing conditions, such as varying flow demands, making it ideal for dynamic environments where system requirements change over time.

Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and control systems are essential for optimizing the performance of multistage pumps. By providing dynamic control over motor speed, they enable energy savings, improved efficiency, reliable operation, and extended equipment life. VFDs adjust motor speed to meet real-time system demands, ensuring that the pump operates efficiently without wasting energy. The control systems monitor key performance parameters and make adjustments to maintain optimal performance, while also offering protection features to prevent damage. Together, VFDs and control systems enhance system performance, reduce costs, and ensure reliable, long-term operation of multistage pumps in a wide variety of applications.
