huge request that's a long shot: did anyone get the silver spaceship chew necklace from stimtastic before it shut down? I had one that was my comfort item for a LOOOOONG time, and then my ex took it 🙃 so if anyone has one, even one thats been chewed a little, i'm willing to pay to find one! even if you don't have it, a quick rb would help too!!
@chewelry users who used stimtastics no gloom shrooms what chews are you liking nowadays? That used to be all I wore and I need a couple new chews and nothing has as good a shape as the shrooms everything’s either too thin/soft or too thick/hard :(
I haven't seen atsv yet but his surname is spelled O'Hara! not O'hara not OHara!! you're not autocorrect or a digital form that cries and throws up when it encounters a spicy irish apostrophe you can learn to spell it correctly I prommyyyy
ENCYCLOPEDIA — When we move, we tend to 'shed' pages; generally, they seem to originate only from the outside of our body and will only appear if whatever is moving is moving in the opposite direction to a surface that can shed.
⠀⠀So, for example, in the images above, if we moved our arm downwards, no pages would come out. They almost act as though they've fallen out as a result of the movement. We can generate more if we move faster.
⠀⠀Of course, the pages *do* dissipate eventually, but you can usually tell where we have walked recently as we leave, quite literally, a paper trail following our path.
⠀⠀As for us individually, there are a few differences between us. Perception sheds paper normally, though they come out folded into various shapes, usually manifesting as folded hearts. Composure does not shed them, but can remove them manually at will; they usually appear torn and he has to put the full pages together himself, if he even bothers to try to find the rest of whatever page he has. Whatever for, I can't say. Neither Volition nor Authority shed pages. Finally, I myself shed them normally as our body does.
PERCEPTION — And we shed more when we're excited or happy, by the way. 😊
ENCYCLOPEDIA — Yes. Combining that with the action of shaking our hands when those emotions are particularly strong, you can always tell when Empathy has visited the library recently.

Apropos of nothing, can you recommend any silent stim gadgets? Would like to give some to my sister as her current stims are mostly A Bit Not Good (of the self-inflicted variety), but if they make noises (clicking, rattling, etc.) then it will rapidly drive my mother up the wall until she ends up destroying them.
stimtastic was the favorite of everyone i know who likes stim toys and the like, but i think it’s been shut down now? in terms of quiet stimming things chewables are one that i know are generally pretty popular (just be sure to find one that’s like, mouth-safe—check places that sell things for teething maybe? or maybe a good alternative to stimtastic has cropped up i’m not positive), and similarly, rubber bracelets you can like yank on repeatedly are quiet, maybe with beads tied off on them in different places to fidget with.
if anyone has recommendations for places they tend to get something like that, feel free to drop them in the notes, i’m sure anon isn’t the only one who would love to hear it
