Writing Resources: Chronic Pain and Illness
Sp's resources for Content Creators Materialist
Trigger warnings for discussion of chronic pain and illness. Other authors are more than welcome to add their own points and I will update the link in the masterlist as more is added. Alternatively, send me an anon ask or DM if you want to remain anonymous. I have more than one chronic issue myself, I will use the block unbutton if you're an ass about this.
Chronic pain and illness have little to no representation in fanfiction. If you wish to add these to your story and you don't experience the subject yourself, please do research using medically accurate sources.
Patient Care and Health Information - The Mayo Clinic. Look up the condition in the search bar.
The NHS website Look up the condition in the search bar.
Another good resource is forums and subreddits.
2. Even people with the same condition have different experiences, be careful not to make blanket statements.
3. Women, POC and members of the lgbtqia+ community are less likely to get treatment, more likely to be treated like drug seekers and are more likely to be misdiagnosed or have to wait much longer for an accurate diagnosis. Similarly, their issues are more likely to be blamed on mental health issues and hypochondria.
4. Someone living with a chronic condition may not have a 'normal', or what they consider normal may be disordered. Some people with chronic conditions may not know what not being in pain or being well-rested is like. When I was younger and before my current treatment, I was never hungry or out of pain, this shocked people when I told them, it was as normal as breathing to me.
5. Doctors can suck, some people are outright terrified to get treatment due to past experiences. I was treated like a drug seeker once and now get the shakes before seeing a new doctor for fear of being called an addict.
6. The things people experiences do not care what you have going on. They can steal happy moments in a flash and render someone unable to leave their home, it's common for someone with a chronic condition to need to plan everything down to the second (or feel like they need to), cancel at the last minute or worry that they won't be able to enjoy something they have looked forward to.
7. We are not looking to be babied, I know my own limits and will express them. There is a line between a character being caring and infantilising. Having said that, there are times when I haven't expressed my needs for fear they will be ignored. If you are writing a caretaker scene or character be careful to ensure the other person still maintains their autonomy.
8. Empathy, not sympathy. Sympathy is looking down at someone in a hole and telling them they can climb out, empathy is getting in there are helping them out. Sometimes the best thing someone can hear is "I have no idea what you're going through."
9. Chronic conditions are systematic, it's not just pain, it's also brain fog, being unable to sleep or stay awake, having problems controlling emotions, and changes in appetite and sex drive.
10. There is never a magic cure, chronic conditions are a part of someone. Making them disappear doesn't mean a happy ending because, in real life, they don't disappear. It doesn't make someone less than others if they don't get better.

I think a lot of people mistake Sunny's resilience and hope in the face of a miserable and bleak scenario as childlike innocence and her not fully comprehending the danger of it all. Her optimism is a response to the pessimistic and nihilistic world around her. She truly believes in the prophecy. It has to work. That's what they've suffered all this time for. Everyone. There will be peace on Pyrrhia and it'll be delivered by her and her friends.
Her own arc in her book, about rising above the expectations placed on her and proving herself as dragon of worth, was foreshadowed a lot with how the DoD treated her. They themselves infantalized her despite being unaware of it. They believed Sunny to be weak and helpless. The little, tiny sister who needs to be protected.
Despite this, she's strong. She's smart, observant, and even Clay mentioned that she's a great fighter because she takes advantage of her small stature and people underestimating her. She isn't childish, but rather she believes that they'll pull through. That they'll bring peace. In the end? They do just that.
Sunny's optimism I feel is a nice breath of fresh air. A lot of protagonists like her go through hell and back and become a lot more jaded. Her? It's her hope for a better future that keeps her going. Even in the darkest of situations, when she should breakdown and succumb to the overwhelming misery of war and tragedy, she. keeps. going. She believes. Despite the cynicism of the DoD, even with Clay at times feeling despondent, she continues. She moves onward. She fights.
And...she wins. Peace is achieved on Pyrrhia. The prophecy came true.

About me and my blog
Hello all,
I hope you find the below information helpful (thank you to @thegayhimbo for providing a template on how to do this)
Below you will mostly find information on my writing but I want you to know who you're following so I'll let you know a little about me too.
All about me
I'm a twenty-four-year-old woman living in wonderful Australia (AEST). I have had this blog for a very long time but only became active over the last three years and only started writing early last year. I'm also busy studying to get a bachelor's in a helping profession. I have a dog and a cat and I love them more than anything.
My blog
First and foremost, please don't follow me if you're under the age of 18. I don't want you here, especially considering the content of what I post. I do not make exceptions even if you coming to talk to me about something that is safe for work.
I am passionate about many social issues and will share posts about them from time to time. I have been told from knee-high that I'm opinionated and I'm very happy to share said opinions. Bigots of any shape will be blocked.
I love talking to people about their passion, ideas and thoughts so if you're having to urge to info dump about anything, please say hello.
My writing
Main Masterlist
I write for lots of fandoms for both men and women. I do both reader and OC although I'm moving towards OC more and more. I only do requests very rarely, mostly for milestones. I prefer to use canon as a starting point and most of my work deviates very heavily.
What I write:
One shots Series Fluff Smut Angst
I write for:
Sons of Anarchy
Jax Teller Lyla Winston
Mayans M.C.
Guero Manny Angel Reyes EZ Reyes
Law & Order: SVU
Terry Bruno Joe Velasco Mike Duarte
The Punisher
Karen Page Billy Russo Frank Castle
Call of Duty (Video Games)
Simon 'Ghost' Riley Valeria Garza Phillip Graves Kate Laswell
The Gentleman
Raymond Smith
Peaky Blinders
Alfie Solomons John Shelby
Gangs of London
Sean Wallace
Many of my fics have very dark themes, and I fully believe that fiction should be used to explore the worst parts of humanity. However, it needs to be done well.
I will not write:
Any form of violence against women for the sole purpose of furthering a man's story. Violence against animals or children. Sexual assault smut. All my smut heavily features enthusiastic and mutual consent
General things for readers
I am more than happy to talk about my work, I will give spoilers and talk about my process if you want. Just ask!!!
I have a tag list and I'm happy to add you but if you are inactive for five posts, I will remove you.
You are under no obligation to read my work so please do not struggle through anything.
This is a hobby and I do this for free, I do this for myself so I'm happy to receive feedback but please don't complain.
Comments and reblogs are loved and cherished.
Thank you for reading this far, I wish you fun on your journey through my blog.

to be clear it's not me accidentally spraying myself in the face that gets me. Its the fact that the pressure from the hose was so damn strong it hit me in the face and then the ceiling and splattered down onto nearby unsuspecting people. a random girl screamed in terror. im just never living it down. i hope i move countries soon

No one talks about how clingy & obsessed w Tweek Craig actually is. Like what tfucker spends their time looking up fan art which we already know sometimes can be a bit… spicy (LOL) of them and their bf? like tfym “yeah it’s some good stuff”??
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also, everyone is saying the whole conversation on phone destroyer is evidence of Tweek being clingy. Wrong!!! It’s actually about Craig, because like how would you know the exact amount of minutes it’s been since your bf texted you? Unless of course, you were counting.
