#chronically ill authors

[chronicallydragons]

ABSOLUTELY LOSING MY MIND AT THESE ORANGE BANNERS ON AMAZON FOR ARTIFICE & ACCESS I MIGHT CRY 😭 this whole anthology started because there were a bunch of people saying disabled people don’t belong in fantasy and this anthology immediately makes it into TWO top spots on Amazon because people are so excited about this anthology centered on disabled people in fantasy! 😭 I’m a little emotional, I need a sec

Um, preorders now open! definitely on amazon (paperback and ebook got listed separately for some reason) and B&N, trying to get it into some indie bookstores, and it sounds like booktopia in austrailia has it!

Writing fanfic about a very mentally unstable character because fistfighting my doctors isn't right

[the-effect-of-chaos]

It is 4am. I should be sleeping. However, since my own chronic illnesses are keeping me awake, I figured I would let you all in on my own personal disabilty/chronic illness headcanons for our favourite stranger things blorbos.

So because I am a firm believer that certain characters can not survive the Upside Down episodes without there being some form of physical impact to their well-being beyond the obvious mental toll I have thusly concocted a list below for you of my own personal headcanon'd disabilities and chronic illnesses and the characters that develop them.

Starting with Eleven for a change since y'all know I am obsessed with Steve, we'll shake it up a bit.

This girlie definitely gets Daily Migraines. You cannot tell me that the toll of using her powers is limited to the nose and ear bleeding. That powerful brain of hers absolutely forces inconvenient shut downs the stronger she gets and the more she uses her powers. (She and Steve bond over the experience of how shitty migraines are.)

Additionally, due to her significant mental trauma and abuse, our super girl develops fibromyalgia and all the lovely (/s) symptoms therein. As a fibro sufferer, I truly believe that El is a great choice to explore the impact the condition has on a person's mental, emotional, and physical well-being. (Is my fibro currently flared up and making me cranky? Yes. Yes, it is.)

Next up is Max!

This one is a no-brainer, especially post-season 4, but our fiesty redhead is wheelchair bound and vision impaired. I feel like she is primarily ambulatory, and can get by on crutches for short distances but between the impaired eyesight and the general chronic pain and weakened limbs from the multiple fractures in both her arms and legs she prefers the chair. It puts less stress on her limbs and while she grieves over the loss of ability to skate, gaining a new set of wheels to attempt tricks in - and give Steve an early heart attack - lessens the emotional hurt to be more manageable.

On to Will now, because that boy has s u f f e r e d and that means I am able to make him suffer more for my own catharsis as a writer.

Hoo Boy! Will has some serious goddamn upside down induced chronic conditions. First up, severe asthma, you cannot make me believe his lungs weren't severely fucked up from his first round with the UD. Boy was stuck there for 5 days in that ashy atmosphere and then you had the weird sludge tube that was shoved down his throat etc before he was rescued.

Number two, is a toss up between bronchiectasis or Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD probably makes the most sense but either or would work. This boy's lungs are fucked I tell you, absolutely fucked.

Moving on to - you guessed it - Eddie! I couldn't do this lost without including the love of Steve's life (my own opinion you don't have to subscribe to it).

Eddie definitely develops Complex Regional Pain Syndrome following his banquet for the bats. His left leg is the worst for it, along with his abdomen and upper torso. If I had been more organised I would find the fanart floating around here of Eddie with crutches cause fuck yeah he would absolutely kill it with crutches. And also likely use them to hit people because the impulse is hard to control, especially in crowds with pushy people.

For consideration is the possible impact the bats may have had on his internal organs. But this I will admit is beyond my personal experience and chronic illness knowledge, it would still be interesting to see Eddie with ongoing gastrointestinal issues.

Last but by no means least my favourite whump victim Steve Harrington.

Now, to get the obvious and fanon approved chronic conditions out of the way. This boy has some severe head trauma courtesy of Billy and the Russian Interrogators. And with that comes a few staple chronic illnesses and disabilities, which, as previously mentioned, fanon has adopted. Chronic Migraines is number 1. Impaired vision and loss of hearing are number 2 and 3. The head trauma trifecta if you will.

In addition, I would like to put forward another chronic illness forward for consideration. Hypermobility either as Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDs) or Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD). Why? Because it's again been kicking my ass and I want to cathartically torment my blorbos with it. I just also really like the idea of Steve having the ability to pull out the hypermobile joint thing as a party trick as a teen like I use to before it all goes to shit as he hits his twenties and suddenly everything hurts all the fucking time. I just also believe that being as sporty as he is, he definitely dislocated his shoulders and sprained his ankles and wrists on multiple reoccurring occasions, and just shrugged it off without realising there was a reason for that.

Honestly, the biggest thing for me is to inflict the same suffering I endure onto my blorbos for both equal measures of catharsis and representation.

The only illness I have that I have yet to find a blorbo victim for is my Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTs). Although I won't lie, I am very tempted to inflict it upon Steve post septic shock or bat bite infection because the impact that would have on his mental health? Delicious whumpage, and a great way for me to personally process my feelings about the disabling impact it has had on my life.

Anyway, it has now been over an hour and a half of typing this post AND the tags. I really need to try and sleep, so hopefully, getting this out of my head and onto your dashes helps that along.

Off topic, but fuck do my elbows hurt. The joint pain of HSD fucking sucks.

hii happy pride month, have a little 'you're a dog (i'm your man)' chapter four snippet as an apology for radio silence <33

“Did I wake you?” Gale asks, glancing at John apologetically, but John looks up from his effort to avoid muddy puddles to shake his head. Gale supposes it’s a silly question; John sleeps like a rock, dead to disturbances made by anything other than his own brain.

“Just my sixth sense,” John says, shrugging and shooting him a small smile. Gale snorts.

“You got a radar for me?” He teases, and John smiles wider, eyes crinkling.

“Built in,” he answers matter–of–factly, raising a hand and making a fist over the center of his chest before dropping it, returning his vigilant gaze to the uneven ground. Gale stares for a moment longer, floored not for the first time by John’s apparent obliviousness to the weight of his sentimentality.

Even knowing John how he does, it’s always unexpected coming from someone who a stranger might assume to be brazen and surface–level; John’s loud mouth and wandering hands do him no favours in that regard.

But Gale does know John, like an extension of himself half the time, and still he manages to render him speechless. The way his heart flutters as the sentiment hangs in the air makes Gale want to reach down his throat and squeeze it until it never beats again.
