Low level/continuous pain tips for writing
Want to avoid the action movie effect and make your character's injuries have realistic lasting impacts? Have a sick character you're using as hurt/comfort fodder? Everyone has tips for how to write Dramatic Intense Agony, but the smaller human details of lasting or low-level discomfort are rarely written in. Here are a few pain mannerisms I like to use as reference:
General
Continuously gritted teeth (may cause headaches or additional jaw pain over time)
Irritability, increased sensitivity to lights, sounds, etc
Repetitive movements (fidgeting, unable to sit still, slight rocking or other habitual movement to self-soothe)
Soft groaning or whimpering, when pain increases or when others aren't around
Heavier breathing, panting, may be deeper or shallower than normal
Moving less quickly, resistant to unnecessary movement
Itching in the case of healing wounds
Subconsciously hunching around the pain (eg. slumped shoulders or bad posture for gut pain)
Using a hand to steady themself when walking past walls, counters, etc (also applies to illness)
Narration-wise: may not notice the pain was there until it's gone because they got so used to it, or may not realize how bad it was until it gets better
May stop mentioning it outright to other people unless they specifically ask or the pain increases
Limb pain
Subtly leaning on surfaces whenever possible to take weight off foot/leg pain
Rubbing sore spots while thinking or resting
Wincing and switching to using other limb frequently (new/forgettable pain) or developed habit of using non dominant limb for tasks (constant/long term pain)
Propping leg up when sitting to reduce inflammation
Holding arm closer to body/moving it less
Moving differently to avoid bending joints (eg. bending at the waist instead of the knees to pick something up)
Nausea/fever/non-pain discomfort
Many of the same things as above (groaning, leaning, differences in movement)
May avoid sudden movements or turning head for nausea
Urge to press up against cold surfaces for fever
Glazed eyes, fixed stare, may take longer to process words or get their attention
Shivering, shaking, loss of fine motor control
If you have any more details that you personally use to bring characters to life in these situations, I'd love to hear them! I'm always looking for ways to make my guys suffer more write people with more realism :)

Irreplaceable
It's all "pikmin yaoi" this and "pikmin yuri" that, but then y'all will go and ignore the canon pikmin yaoi/yuri that's right in front of you.

any f1 fan who takes dts and it’s fabricated dramatics seriously instead of seeing it for the clickbaity view-hungry money grab that it is needs to re-evaluate why they’re a fan to begin with imo

#if u r curious abt following the saga that is my life:#i did finally accept an official offer from a school this afternoon. which is a huge relief and really exciting#and for once i think i did something that will b good for me in mind and body lol bc i think i could b happy with any of the places i#applied to but this program is most geared to my interests and its in a place where i think i can have fun due to the accessibility#of nature and the mountains haha. like at rutgers i think i could have got a good education and had a lot of opportunities but i think it#would have crushed my soul a lil bc it would b more high pressure and in the city. ya kno? so i hopefully i dont regret the choice lol#i still have to wait on the offical acceptance stuff but now at least i can allow myself to get excited abt the potential project and start#researching. which i mean ill have 5yrs of a phd for that but idk im excited and my life feels so empty and meaningless rn ive gotta take#the excitement where i can haha#anyway housing is gonna b a bitch bc there arent a lot of places available in grad student price ranges in the city to the point where they#said so in the official offer rip. and i have to decide when im leaving the southwest bc i could stay til August or leave in july and take#like a whole almost 2 months to just not b doing anything for a sec. and my dad was like !!! u could go to the crazy state parks#or drive out to the pacific northwest! and that would b amazing but also that sounds so scary to do on my own lol#like i dont wanna b missing and murdered as a youngish non guy traveling alone#but i could do it if i tried im sure. anyway i just wanted to let yall kno#bc im so doom and gloom on here all the time but a transition period is looming so im only stuck here for a few more months#and hopefully itll b a page turn into a happier place haha#watch out yellowstone cyanobacteria. im coming for u >:-]#knock on wood. ya kno. just in case#hhhh at least i can breathe a lil better now i have a direction#unrelated

me @ the person esponding to my youtube comment about ADHD with: “have you every considered that you’re just lazy?”
Tumblr media
#ash talks smack#Y-#YES AT LENGTH#FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE ONE MIGHT EVEN SAY#they were like ‘you can’t focus? well you read my reply and you replied to it!’#and my dumb ass naively replied to them to be like#‘adhd is not actually a defecit of attention it’s a misleading and inaccurate name bc adhders can pay attention but not-#to the things that they want/need to pay attention to’#and for the record I was VERY CIVIL and kind#even though initially I was like ‘oh im going to rip their throat out and stuff it up their ass or some such’#I gotta remind myself that I didn’t even believe adhd was real til my doctor referred me to a specialist for evaluation#then I actually like did research and got educated and wow! I changed my opinion#but. but. even though it has been several years now#I still do think I’m just lazy. so it hurts extra bad. thanks a lot random internet stranger#they even said smth like ‘I don’t know you personally so you CANT take this personally’#meanwhile me taking it personally#im lmfao#they obviously meant well but it feels like someone u don’t even know coming up and twisting the knife in ur back#and I’m not dumb I know it’s more about me than it is about them#the reason I’m upset is bc I still believe I’m just making excuses for my own moral failings#and that isn’t their responsibility or anyone else’s#also the obvious solution is to avoid social media bc it’s just a recipe for disaster esp when ur recovering from a plethora of shit#I mean not ALLL social media obviously some can be good. like recovery focused groups and like minded ppl#but anyway.#day 263850 of fighting not to believe what was told to me throughout my entire life:

Ekolu! Can I get some quick drabbles or headcannons for how Ayato, Xiao, and Venti react when a reader calls them out for doing something dumb/mean? I mean, I’m an idiot and a hothead on the best of days, but I still want to (have the confidence to) call out others.
Like, Ayato… you shouldn’t just send Thoma gross concoctions. At least ASK if he’s curious about it first.
Xiao could you maybe please hold up instead of just disappearing?! Like, at least give us a chance to say hi!
Venti… maybe performing on a rooftop surrounded by the creatures you’re allergic to is a BAD idea.
Heck, I don’t even mind if they react negatively. I love how you portray Zhongli reacting to things and I want more.
Um anon, no offense, but how are you able to speak to the very depths of my heart? I honestly adore this idea. We must have something in common because we are both hot-headed idiots. I think our archetype needs to be represented more in the genshin x reader community. No more doormats and gushy lovey-dovey relationships. We need an temperamental dumbass revolution. All them characters are morosexual anyway. uwu <3
No but seriously, I'm excited to try this out. I'll do my very best! I struggle a lot with trying to figure out how to characterize the characters properly, so honestly knowing you like my rendition of Zhongli makes me very happy!! I'm gonna get started tonight. I may throw in a few other characters too if I get the inspiration. :D

I caught the bus to Prague, breathed through an asthma attack and now my stomach hates me
Does anyone else experience this? It feels like period cramps, but I'm nowhere near my period and it always happens when I have a bigger asthma attack triggered by running
I have four hours until my flight, I need to do some research

"oh huh, usually getting my official business and chores done for the day energizes me to work on my projects. i wonder why my brain is all scrambled up and i feel both unmotivated and anxious like should be doing something?"
turns out migraine prevention meds have been working so well that i managed to forget how auras for big nasty ones feel lol
wanted to transfer the stuff i worked on during my trip from docs to the working file and start neatening things up but oop
fingers crossed it'll fully clear out before bedtime so i can at least start looking into how i want my tenses to work in the flashback

part of me is like 'this would be easier if i was younger and less tired' but a much bigger part of me is like 'you stupid motherfucker you were even worse and more tired and struggled more the first time you were in college, you think this would've been easier??? go to fucking sleep and study more in the morning.'
...and so. i will listen. to the rational bit of my brain.

#pluto sextile sun is always like ‘you COULD manipulate ppl…..but you don’t :•)’#and also ‘you gotta let yourself lose sometimes you know?’#boooo#they always always mention magnetism but i really genuinely don’t believe i have a magnetic personality#like i can walk freely in my hometown bc i don’t think anyone from high school would remember me at all#and i think my presence is pretty small! but maybe i just don’t extend myself out into society very much…#i do be a control freak tho i can’t lie i do be tellin ppl what to do n taking shit out of their hands ‘i’ll just do it’ is probably my#catch phrase it’s sooooo bad it’s so bad i have such a problem with it#but no one else can do it right except for me!!! that’s just how it is im not sorry#and interested in transformation rebirth dark sides of humanity the occult etc etc#actually to have mercury & pluto energies is so dangerous i heard a tale abt a couple that cut pieces of the skin off and gave it to each#other to heal into their own arms and i want to know what that must look and feel like curiosity is the most dangerous sin of them all#i won’t!!!!!! my mom raised me better than to get involved w things i don’t understand…..but i WILL be standing on the railing at the#incantation exhibit i want to know everything about everything but when pluto is involved it literally means EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING i#can never stop researching things that freak me out but this is the part of me i suppress the most and i don’t want to do that anymore#so i deserve to be creepy on main etc etc im junji ito but a girl#personal

...Highkey was not. Expecting this one ramble I wrote of Ishtar to end up digging into some really personal vulnerabilities around my own.
...But. After several months of wanting to start opening the doors to rambling on these things (& chickening out) I finally. Got things down.
#This is. something I'm only sharing w friends i trust tho. DM only type of stuff cause its... its a writing that has roots in some.#very deeply personal/vulnerable type of stuff. & like. I kind of always fear judgment around this sort of stuff too?#when it comes to. writing on this particular topic. its cathartic to me in processing things. but i know it can be not easy a read?#I've already hinted at it before & i mean i know in the end on TH ima eventually have it labeled what this sorta ordeal is.#its not somethn i really expect will come up tho outside of like... if im musing w someone i trust & only in terms of like.#sharing/rambling abt backstory stuff or hcing things around chars opening up? or writing things abt chars opening up? i.#don't know fi that makes sense but fuck it sdjlkfsd. you get the gist.#its not somethn i will bring up in spaces where its not allowed & even in my own personal public spaces its a subject i kinda prefer to uh#not get TOO too into. the in depths are only known by ppl i trust & thats that. & thats only if they ofc arent the type to judge.#i love sharing my stuff w friends even if its more intense subjects? (given they can handle it obviously i aint droppin it on em w/o warnin#cause i know myself w what i write so). my only gist is i just fear those close to me judging is all. since its a lot of.#vulnerability ig that goes into this stuff for me.#...in time i do... plan to let myself open up more. be vulnerable more through my work ig.#it helps a lot w catharsis ig.#regardless... i gotta get back to research stuff#ishtar rambles ;#anyway personal hidden oc / sona / w.e lore that only is known to ppl i want it known by. & its not somethn that like ever's gonna be like.#brought up in spaces where its not permitted to discuss those things so yknow. yeah. esp bc the theme of this topic is kinda 18+?#w the ramble i mean. bc of subject material but it takes on a sorta heavy topic type of vibe really? so.#its not like 'sexy time 18+' stuff LOL-does touch on ordeals of sexuality yeah. but. the rest is analysis & touching on their past & some.#things that are again. sorta heavier talks & in gen other things.

I want to live in a world that’s at peace enough that if I won the lottery I could justify spending every penny to fund research on fungi
