Hello hello! I've been looking at your blog a bit but have been a little too shy to request anything until now.

I was wondering if you could do some kind of eduardian/european progressive era/1910s inspired stim board with calm, warm lighting

Also anything with pearls, lace, canes, etc is awesome :Dc

Ty for your time and everything you do!

Aww, I'm glad you did get the courage to ask! These really specific ones can be so much fun to work with, I hope this turned out how you were hoping c:

What To Put In A Self Care Box? How to Make a Box for Self Care !

Originally posted to www.onlyfunthings.org on May 21, 2018

Ciao lovelies! Today's post is about how to make a self-care box and what kind of stuff to put in it!

A self-care box is a box filled with items that you can use when you're having a rough day, or just need a bit of self care. What do you need for this?

Well for starters, a box!

I've got some boxes here, as examples. You can find big or small pretty photo storage boxes at craft stores and if you get them on sale they can be relatively cheap. You can also use a shoebox and either decorate it or leave it plain. You can use a "tupperware" style clear box as well. You can even use a jewelry holder styled box, like the one of the top of this pile- I found this one at a thrift store.

For my personal self care box, I will be using this pineapple pattern photo storage box from Joann's:

So, now you've got your box, hooray! Step one, done. Now, what do we put in it?

To begin, I put in this small book of Hello Kitty word searches. It's good to put things to distract yourself in your self care box. And small things that can lead to feelings of accomplishment, like word searches, are good for kicking bad feelings to the curb. 

Next I added some bath bombs, the big one is cucumber and the small one is peppermint. Bath bombs can help encourage you to take care of yourself hygiene wise and will motivate you to bathe/shower. You can also include nicely scented bodywash, bubble bath, bath crackles, a cute toothbrush/hairbrush, anything that will motivate you to take care of your hygiene.

I also added a movie I like to watch. Movies can be a great distraction from bad feelings, and provide you with something else to think about for a while. Movies can also take you to other worlds, and watching a movie while upset can really change your mood! Just make sure you choose an uplifting movie.

After that, I added some perfume, nail polish, and lip balm. Sometimes taking care of your appearance can help uplift your mood, I know it does for me. Plus, lip balm is good for your lips and as for the perfume, I always feel better when I smell nice. 

What else did I add to my box?

I also added:

-Small Toys: I like to use small toys as a kind of Stim, they relax me and I like how cute they are.

-Stimming Items: I included a container of Silly Putty, 2 containers of modeling dough, and a fidget spinner as stimming items for myself in my box. For more info on Stimming, see THIS post.

- A bow hairclip: So I can feel cute even on my down days.

-Vitamin B-12: This vitamin is good for helping with energy levels and balancing mood! I also will later be including vitamin D because sometimes I don't go outside enough, become Vitamin D deficient, and then my depression worsens due to it. So including that vitamin can help as well!

What else could you include in your self-care box?

-Your Favorite Book: Reading, like movies, can take you to a different world and really affect your mood!

-Small Stuffed Animals: Having a small stuffed animal or two in your box could really provide some comfort!

-Friend's Phone Numbers: To text or call them when times get hard.

-Small Snacks (that don't need to be refrigerated): Sometimes you get into a bad mood because you might have missed a meal or your body needs a snack. Some fun snacks that you can keep in your self-care box include: gummies, fruit snacks, crackers, pretzels, cheese crackers, goldfish, dark chocolate chips (Which can help with mood!)..... the possibilities are pretty much endless! You can also keep a reusable water bottle and flavor packets in your box so you stay hydrated!

-A Journal And Something To Write With: So you can write about your feelings. Sometimes writing can be the best outlet.

-Coloring Pages/Book and Coloring Supplies: Keeping a coloring book or coloring pages and markers, crayons, or colored pencils in your self care box can provide a great outlet for stress relief!

-Nice Scented Lotion: To moisturize your skin. I find this to be a soothing thing. 

-Squishies: These can be great stress relievers. If you don't like squishies, maybe try a stress ball instead!

-Whatever Makes You Happy! In the end, this box is yours to customize to your hearts content, because this box's sole purpose is to make you happy!

What do you lovelies think of the idea of making a self-care box? Would you ever make one? Let us know in the comments!

Remember to Stay Awesome and Love Yourself!

Oooh what about 💎

[Insert handwavey comic book science disclaimer here] I'm amused by the idea of Remus and Virgil having a "side hustle" that's just them making jewelry but instead of bead or wire or whatever remys lab-grows gemstones and then Virgil carves them up with his fingernails

It started as a stim, and diamonds being one of the few materials that Virgil can get a good bit of resistance from, but then he got really good at it AND they get to fuck over the diamond industry undercutting them

It is, however, absolutely GOD AWFUL noise (nails on a chalkboard times a billion) so janus makes Virgil keep it in The Jewelry Box (room full of Virgil stim rocks, soundproofed, Far From Janus)

[weskin-time]

Jill or Carlos with a S/O that has autism or ADHD? Listening intently to their partners rants and rambles about their hyperfixations or stimming with them when they get too excited or their emotions get too strong

YES! i am on the spectrum so this made me so fucking happy to write you have no idea

Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira with an Autistic S/O HCs

i am. on pain medication from getting my wisdom teeth out today so im sorry if anything makes no sense or there are errors i am just vibing

Jill Valentine

she keeps a pair of ear plugs in her pockets when you two go anywhere just incase

loves to hear you infodump and stim after shes had a rough day. just loves to unwind at home while listening to your voice

and she’ll nod her head, hum in agreement and ask questions when you’re talking. never in a ‘im not fully listening’ she actually loves to see your eyes light up and the happy expression on your face when you talk about a hyperfixation or special interest

she was a little confused when you first visually stimmed but instead of asking you she just followed your movements which made you even more excited

if you get too excited about something where you’re starting to hyperventilate and you feel like you’re going to explode she will open the bedroom door and make you wiggle around on the bed. full body stim so good good yes

will get you little trinkets or gifts from the things you’re obsessed about to show how much she listens and cares

doesn’t mind cooking you your samefood over and over again, it gives her a chance to brush up on her cooking skills plus she loves to cook with you (she kinda sucks at it but it’s okay i love her so much *smooch*)

if you’re starting to get overstimulated in public she quickly learns the early signs and tries to get you away, or you could just tell her “i’m starting to get overstimulated here” and you’re out of wherever you’re at instantly. she can come back another time if there’s something she needs

she keeps every rock, flower, marble or what ever you bring her. she has old police books with pressed flowers you gave her, the rocks are in a jewelry box.

when you start to freak out and have a breakdown she’s sorta at a loss to help but in a split second she runs and grabs your weighted blanket and puts it around your shoulders while getting you your favorite drink. it all depends on you and how you deal but she’s quick to make adjustments

non verbal moments? she will help you make little cards to show your wants and needs and other information.

angry? ripped your shirt in anger? banged your head against a wall? tore some hair out? she will try to help you calm down as best she can and then patch you up. she’ll take safety pins and pin your shirt. she’ll give you an ice pack and some pain relief medicine. she gives you kisses

don’t like a certain texture? boom it’s gone. if you feel it still even after you’ve touched it she’ll bring you your favorite texture

loves it when you sit on her lap and rub your face on her like a cat. she will join you in the face rubbing

food textures you don’t like? give them to her she’ll eat them. don’t like mushrooms bc they’re squishy and weird and make you want to punch a man? she’ll give you a tiny fork to pick them off your pizza and she’s putting it on hers

Carlos Oliveira

he’s an adhd haver

autism and adhd solidarity

when he washes his hair it’s so soft and fluffy and thick that you could sit there and pet his head and rub your fingers thought it for hours. he doesn’t mind at all. he’s sitting there almost purring like a cat

vocal stim echo chamber

y’all can make sounds or words over and over again and just keep bouncing them off each other for hours no matter what you’re going

his beard is also very soft. he keeps very good care of his appearance so it’s not like super scratchy it’s a very good texture please rub your face against it once or twice before kissing his nose

this man can’t cook for shit. normally it’s take out. most of the time y’all develop a samefood at the same restaurant so you two must order the same place for weeks and just get the same food

WILL LAY ON YOU AND CRUSH YOU WITH HIS WEIGHT.!! he loves cuddles so much and now he’s getting cuddles and helping you? his new favorite cuddling position is him laying on top of you while you run your finger through his hair

He’s the one who goes into places and talks to the workers there for you if you need him too. want to order lunch but feeling not up for it to order? tell him what you want he’s got you <3

non verbal moments? he talks enough for the both of you honestly. he knows sign language so you two could take that way or he’ll use cards too. if you text him he will read out your text before responding lol

pillow fort movies/tv show/ video game nights. filled with all that good sensory shit and your favorite snacks and his.

he stims with you. every time. it’s involuntary on his part.

more than likely there is one texture he loves that you hATE. you hate velvet? the first time you come over to his place he had a velvet blanket on his bed.

stocks the fridge with his and your favorite food textures. he likes pudding and cottage cheeses textures

he’s better at preventing meltdowns or breakdowns before they happen than helping you during the act

you two bring each other things. he picked up his paperclip to throw it away but he gained emotional attachment to it and he’s giving it to you bc he doesn’t want to loose his new friend. has all the thing you give him in a shoebox under his bed for safe keeping

one of his favorite stims is running his callused hands up and down your softer skin at a medium pace. he starts out slow before speeding up a bit more. just placing his hand on your body and running it down before picking it up and putting it where he first started. loves if you do a ‘cat making biscuits’ stim on his body while he does that to you

[elsewhereuniversity]

Hello I have been given two jewelry sets but they requested that I would give one of them to someone who needs it. I do not know anyone in my life who needs it so maybe you can find someone.

In the jewelry box that shimmers with glass beads there is an opal jewelry set that contains

A ring that shapes itself like the user's favorite flower that helps soothe anxiety and intrusive thoughts

Earrings that have a symbol representing the user's favorite sound or smell that help those with sensory overload

A bracelet that has imagery of the user's favorite season that when asked will help you remember to do tasks throughout the week whether it be wash the dishes or eat a healthy meal

And finally a necklace that can turn into any stim toy you would like as long as you're using it as long as it's no bigger than a 7x7x7 centimeter area. When not in use it looks like a simple necklace with an opal carved into something that reminds them of a good memory

These come in a set the main owner can give some out to people temporarily but after 3 days they will appear back into the box. I hope you find someone who can use them and need them as much as I do.

I suppose you could leave them out in the library and let them know those who need it but after 3 days it'll always return to the box I hope you can help those around you with these.

If I understand how this transaction works you might need to give me something in return anything will work but I enjoy things that have a story behind them something that I can put on a shelf that will start a conversation.

Sincerely a disabled woman who hopes to help others find ways to cope.

Made with a care for the small things that amazes me. I will see these to grateful hands. In turn, a charm for you: a conversational piece. I was given pieces of a fallen oak a long time past, cursèd wood blighted by the murder of the dryad within. In time they were passed on to a skilled woodworker, and only recently have they returned to me in new form - three statuettes of foxes, each styled as the muses of memory, thought, and song. There is something brighter than polished wood in their carved eyes. They should be kept together for their sake and for yours.

Loving Luke

a list of headcanons about luke being autistic and loving him for him in honor of disability pride month<3

some of these headcanons came from my wonderful friend @cthheaven :) go follow them for cool stuff!

DISCLAIMER: i am in no way saying or assuming luke is autistic/neurodivergent. as an auDHDer, i find it comforting to relate things in my everyday life to my favorite people. if you'd prefer to not see this content, please keeping scrolling. and with that, onward!

❊ loves tight or "squeeze" hugs

❊ has multiple weighted blankets. some of them have built in heating pads or massage settings

❊ wears lots of jewelry to interviews so he has a built-in stim toy when he starts feeling overwhelmed

❊ likes to do vocal stims. he often uses the techniques he uses in vocal warm ups to stim.

❊has an oral fixation, so fun chewlry is a must

❊is quite sentimental. he has a large box of all the birthday cards and little trinkets people have given him over the years

❊sometimes needs reminders to eat/drink water/use the bathroom if he's entranced by his special interests

❊has petunia as his service animal. when he gets overstimulated, she'll lay her head in his lap for some deep pressure therapy or rub against his legs for some comfort

❊sometimes he struggles to understand your tone. he'll look at his feet and blush and ask you what mean

❊asks you to learn ASL with him because he often goes nonverbal after shows/interviews because of the pressure and overstimulation

❊rocking stims. luke rocks forwards and backwards when he's stressed, when he's watching his favorite show, and even when he's riding in the car

❊loves the beach but despises the sand. once he reaches the ocean and is able to splash around, he's very happy, but walking through the sand to get there is hell

❊uses noise canceling ear buds/plugs because he's still slightly insecure about using headphones since he's in the public eye so much

❊some of his special interests include dogs, all types of music, surfing, and coffee (yes, a drink can be a special interest :))

❊needs to hold something to make his body feel balanced when he sleeps, which means all the comfort stuffies. when you first come over, he tries to hide them from you because he's embarrassed, but you gently reassure him that it's okay

❊has fidget toys everywhere. even in the bathroom

❊very shy around new people. he was always the "weird kid" at school, so it takes some getting used to to make sure people are nice

❊adores when you send him pictures/articles/tiktoks related to his special interests

❊struggles with regulating his emotions, so there's lots of teary and meltdown moments

❊gets tummy aches a lot. between often being anxious and the fact that lots of autistic people are comorbid with gastrointestinal issues, luke spends a lot of time curled up on the couch with you rubbing his belly and a heating pad

❊loves the visual stims that come from doing his makeup. using the fun colors and the way the glitter catches the light fills his heart with autistic joy

❊uses laundry sheets with a soft scent so his clothes don't bother him

❊is an adventurous eater, but still has his safe foods. these include dairy free mac n cheese, graham crackers, and strawberries

that's all for now! if you wanna see a part 2, let me know! happy disability pride month loves 🩵

i have been enabled and it'll be good prep for ygo OC week sooo

yes, yes i do /lovingly

Musa Vogel (GX OC) Headcanons!🍃🎻

She is constantly listening to music. Like, yeah, it's 2006, and technology isn't super crazy, but BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES WERE A MID-2000s INVENTION; she continually has an earbud in her left ear. Usually, she's listening to orchestral music and walks around with her own soundtrack, but depending on her mood, she'll switch genres.

She doesn't laugh. Like, she's physically incapable of laughing. It's mainly because of something in her nervous system but also for lore reasons; she just never has had a reason to laugh or really feel humour. She's plenty capable of smiling and comprehending jokes, so when she does find something funny, she usually smirks and rolls her eyes. It's an infrequent occurrence (and it makes Kenzan's day when he succeeds).

She's deathly afraid of and allergic to cats (again, lore) and is very much scared of Pharaoh. The gang has been trying to get them to get along, but it has not been working.

Musa speaks in a monotone, almost robotically formal voice typically. Still, while performing a song or duelling, her voice projects like a theatre actor, and she sounds like a completely different person.

The only reason she's friends with Judai and co. is because she caught Kenzan's attention by doing what she does best: correcting the teacher /hj

TL:DR -- Cronos was trying to teach a music class, he is entirely unqualified to teach music, Musa kept correcting all the stuff he wrote on the blackboard, he got into a fit and went "well if you're so smart, why don't you teach these kids?", she got up and went to the front, pulled a conductor's staff from her pocket, had the class play one line, stopped them, and corrected several small details about how certain people played before managing to have them play the first line successfully. Cronos was dumbfounded.

Kenzan keeps trying to talk to her for a week after that, she ignores him because social interaction who, eventually he and the boys catch her playing her violin by the cliffside, she catches them watching, challenges Kenzan to a duel so they leave her alone, she wins, but she figures "well, you ruined my practice time, so I suppose I could spend my time with you instead for your trouble."

She's been stuck with them since /lh

It takes her a while to become comfortable with people (and their antics) because of how isolated she was as a child. Between her family's interference and her packed schedule, she didn't have time for friends, and no one was ever, well, genuinely nice to her.

So, naturally, when the pure-of-heart emotional dino boy comes and compliments her music and makes her feel welcome, she's gonna get attached-

She has a habit of drumming her fingers on surfaces when she's trying to focus, and also basically plays air piano as a stim.

She likes to collect antique jewelry and porcelain statuettes of birds and fairies, and has a small music box she keeps her collection of rings inside.

She loves birds. Like really loves birds. They are her favourite animal without question, and she is very much a bird charmer. One time, Kenzan caught her playing and having successfully gathered a small crowd of birds around her-- the others didn't believe him.

She has cold hands and frequently moves them to keep them warm.

She has a perfect attendance record (nerd).

She also had a perfect winning streak for her first year and a half at the academy...then the arc happened. I'll elaborate some other time.

While she used a Melodious-based deck (because music fairies epic) primarily, she has a few vanilla monsters in her deck, SPECIFICALLY INCLUDING:

THE ONE WITH HER NAME IN IT LMAOOOO she's so silly

Despite her hardened exterior, she is a supportive and caring person: her approach to being friendly is linked to her love languages [acts of service and words of affirmation], and she'll try to give practical answers first.

She likes to play music in precarious situations, like by the cliffs, high in the mountains or on a rock in the ocean. Why? The rush, the adrenaline, it's the closest feeling to feeling something she'd known until becoming friends with the gang.

Which, FYI, it is a very mixed bag:

She's closest to Kenzan, obviously; they're stupid close (and in love, but shhh)

But, her other closest friends are Misawa, Fubuki (shockingly) and O'Brien when he comes around

She gets along well with Judai and Sho, to the point where Sho actually kind of sees her as a mentor figure, too

She and Asuka have a...somewhat strained relationship after the Society of Light arc

Ryo and Edo are people she considers rivals and frustrating in their unique ways

Jim and Johan are both fine; they're her friends too, especially since they can talk about her passions with her

She's surprisingly protective of Rei, and Rei admires her quite a bit

She would've killed Amon if she had the chance.

And Manjoume...how do I put this...

They came from stupidly similar backgrounds and started out super tense because of it, but once her entire arc got settled, they developed some sort of socially awkward solidarity.

He was the first to confront her about Kenzan and told her to stop being so obvious about it and get it over with.

She merely blinked at him.

Oh! Most importantly, she and Cronos are surprisingly close, too. To the point, she actively acknowledges him as a mentor, and he's actively involved in checking her well-being post-arc stuff.

Her favourite food is plain rice, but precisely because there's a lot of room for customization. She believes in liking the base version of foods best since they're the canvas for trying new flavours and recipes. It's the same case with things like ice cream and pizza and such.

As per a special request funded by her parents' staff, her room in the Ra dorms is entirely soundproof.

She wears a robe to bed and while relaxing (rare but less so when she starts being more social); it's pastel green with fake feather trimming.

She also LOVES the colour green. Like most of her school supplies and accessories are some soft shade of green.

This turned out so much longer than i planned, whoops-

also i'm super ill about her dw about it :) <3333
