[livingwithnystagmus]

Hi let me introduce myself

I’m Abi

I’m 23.

I live in the uk.

I have congenital nystagmus (from birth, involuntary movement of the eyes).

I got the official paperwork done when I was 7 but have been wearing glasses since I was 10 months old (I have the hospital records of that eye test).

I am going into first year having done a foundation year last year.

I use a symbol cane not a long cane and people constantly confuse it for a long cane or ignore it. One lady where I volunteer thought it was a pointer .

When I’m able I volunteer with English heritage at a local site

Unlike HIV living in an actual genuine person(if you want a deep dive on that mess, well there’s YouTube videos on the topic)

I’m in and out of different doctors offices for different things some where I’m attending uni and some where I grew up cos I’m fairly local but moved into dorms for independence.

blind werewolf/gnoll/doglike beastfolk who compensates for their lack of sight with their senses of smell and hearing, but struggle to deal with indoor spaces with lots of things to bump into

I figure they'd deal with it the same way anyone would. They'd get to know their home environments well, and would tackle new environments in a way that felt most comfortable to them

My eyes have fucked up yet again! Like I said they would. But do the eye clinic care? No. Why else would they give me a appointment in October when I was suppose to be seen in April??? That’s 6 months for fucks sake.

Every single time they do this. Addenbrooke’s Hospital doesn’t know it’s head from its arsehole. They fuck me about constantly. But when I go to complain to the patient liaison service I get told I can’t because “it hasn’t happened yet”.

I think you’ll find it has happened now. So I’ll try make the complaint again. I don’t give a fuck anymore. I’m done being fucked over.

I’m fucking DONE!!!!

Hereditary retinal dystrophy: living with the diagnosis

Hereditary retinal dystrophy: living with the diagnosis

By Shaini Saravanamuthu, as told to Kara Mayer Robinson When I found out I have retinitis pigmentosa (RP), a form of hereditary retinal dystrophy, I was shocked. No one in my family has vision problems. I had some problems with my vision, but I thought it was because of poor lighting or simply because eyes weren’t meant to see well in the dark. After my diagnosis, my struggle to see at night made…

Just so you know a "gay" person coming out as trans and straight isn't a downgrade! It's something to be celebrated because the straight trans person in question is being their happiest and most authentic self and that's pretty fucking great

#transhet #sick and tired of people acting like someone going from iding as gay to straight is a loss. shut the fuck up #if anyone tries to derail this it's on sight

i think what made the last episode of kenobi, and the kenobi show as a whole, so special is because it really just reminded us that the heart of star wars is love.

we see it full force with beru and owen. both willing to do anything to protect luke. put their lives on the line for him. we see it in beru immediately jumping into action. we see it in owen's claiming of luke as his own. his son. their son. in the looks on their faces when they see luke again, the utter fear that he may be gone. because while obi-wan could most likely feel him in the force, for one gut wrenching moment owen and beru thought their boy was gone.

we see it in breha and bail. their odd, funny little girl finally home and you can just feel their joy. their pride when leia is unapologetically herself. and how when obi-wan talks to leia about her birth parents, she instead looks to them. those who have raised her with a fierce love and kindness. how when she looks to them, they look back with so much love.

we see it in obi-wan and anakin. obi-wan apologizing to anakin, and we have to wonder how long those words have been building inside him? and then the tragic acceptance that there is no longer that person there to love. that his ten years of grief, maybe longer, was over something that was not his fault, that he could have never succeeded in preventing. but at the same time, we know that obi-wan still holds his love for anakin. it's just that darth vader isn't him.

and don't even get me started on obi-wan and his love for luke and leia. how leia was the one to pull him from his isolation. become the man he was again. how watching over luke is his motivation to stay that way. how thinking about them literally is what gives him the strength to pull himself up from the ground. honestly obi-wan and the twins deserve their own post.

star wars has always been a story about love. it can, after all, ignite the stars. and the kenobi finale has captured that fully, making it feel like the most truly star wars show in ages.

Every Universe

"I love you." She uttered, barely above a whisper. "I love you in every universe." "Do we end up together in every universe?" He asked. "No," She replied, and the painful memories of those life times flashed behind her beautiful eyes as she reflected to the 'back then's. Yet, she smiled, "But I love you anyway, how could I not? My soul yearns for you, even before it had come to know you. It remembers, I remember." "Does it hurt?" She was silent for a moment, "A lifetime without you hurts more then a lifetime when we are not together." "I love you." He blurts out unthinkingly, desperate. He reaches out for her hand, taking it and holds it in both hands in a grounding grip. She looked down at their hands and smiled, relishing in the bitter sweetness. "I know." She confesses quietly. She held his hand tightly, trying to ignore the buzzing within her body- threatening to tear her apart atom by atom. "But you aren't mine. Not this time."

Dude these sources on hearing loss are going to have to stop being so relatable or I'm going to have to go back to the doctor

#I was told I had unilateral hearing loss as a child #But then got tested again as an adult and they told me that BOTH ears are fine #But I've always had issues hearing when there's any amount of overlapping noise (which I feel is auditory processing disorder) #But what the fuck do you MEAN people listen for cars when they cross the road?? #You don't LOOK? You just HEAR them? #and everyone has tinnitus right #right #How the hell can you hear a car that isn't in sight

maybe im thinking too far into this, but i feel like someone needs to at least archive the original genloss vods. ever since i watched matpat talk abt it, i feel like he was onto smth with saying that ranboo might delete the vods entirely once the founder's cut releases. i mean... it makes sense, to me at least. plus with the trailer saying "this is the story in it's purest form, as all stories should be" it just. idk. someone needs to archive the original vods LMAO

One of these days I want to make an attempt at a Proper comic in this idk? blobby? style. because I think that's the only way I'm going to have the attention span to stick with a project for any length of time.

it's just. Orders of magnitude faster than the more refined stuff, and a lot more, idk, goofy? Good for telling jokes? but at the same time I don't know Which batch of characters I'd want to use for this theoretical comic and if it would really Fit with any of my usual gothic romance ass stories. Like, the style doesn't Feel conducive to horny gore heavy psyche horror, but also that might be more a matter of me never like. giving it a shot at that.

#like. My perceptions of my own art make me see this as the goofy cutesy cal arts marketable style #But i also know i have locked myself in an aesthetic vacuum chamber for several years and have maybe kinda loss sight of what #cute Is. #Is this style spoopy? #if you had to describe it #to like. an amish person who has nevsr seen anything cal arts adjacent. How would you do that?

STOP UGH I CANT HANDLE HOW CUTE THIS IS WHEN I KNOW HOW HORRIBLY WRONG ITLL GO SOON

#DAJH HAS CHOCOBO-THEMED STUFF............. OUGHH #ALSO ALSO the way sazh doubts himself in xiii and blames himself for losing sight of dajh that day kills me more now #bc something the book is really good at highlighting is just how at ease the people of cocoon are around each other #they leave crops in the open they approach strangers like its nothing etc #they feel completely safe #sazh had no reason to worry about letting dajh wait in front of the pet store #but because hes a single parent he had to suffer that loss all alone and IM SICKKK #final fantasy xiii #sazh katzroy #dajh katzroy

Absolutely love your art. I want to nom it.

Also, Hollow Heads Siblings my beloveds,,,

Theyre the doomed siblings ever its not even funny

#Oouugh i have thoughts abt the hollowhead siblings. How theyre so intricately tied to eachother since their birth but they'd be #Eachother'd downfall. Esp when it's Dark and his relationship with the others #Dark would never understand what chosen went through. Mainly bc i think chosen is used to fighting his internal battles on his own #While he was in captive as an ad blocker. He loves Dark. He's grateful for Dark bc without him he wouldn't be free #But Dark isnt exactly someone reliable enough for Chosen to get the necessary healing he wants and needs #But that won't stop Dark from trying to fix him. Creates the virus for revenge. As chosen watches his brother spiral and spiral #As he watches him drift further away. Unable to get him back without a shouting match. As he watches with his heart heavy and cracked at- #Their stiffed interactions and strained relationship. He can't remember a time where they shared geniune laughs. #Then tsc coming came and changed everything. #Because this is someone who went through Chosen's pain albeit a lil differently. Someone who knows. Someone who /understands/. And this- #Someone is so much more younger than them and had to go through that pain in such a short amount of time since their birth #He sees himself in them. And he's rather walk up to alan demanding to get his hands cuffed than let tsc fester in that pain. #So tsc became chosen's priority. Healed eachother in many ways than one and are at echother's beck and call if need be. #As for Dark. I think he'd manipulate tsc into using him for his revenge. After stalking out his code and finding out about his potential #And TSC cant help but fall for his manipulations. Since this person is very very important to Chosen and they want so badly to impress- #Them both. They agreed and overtime grew to love eachother. And overtime Dark shifted his goals just a tad bit. Getting TSC more and more- #Involved. Since hey if Chosen doesn't like touching alan with a 10 ft pole why not let this kid do. And TCS agrees to this thinking that- #This is it. This is can finally heal them completely. Finally out of sight and out of mind. Finally can't live without the pain lingering #And chosen watches them with a sense of deja vu. At loss at what to do and so so afraid to lose two of his lil siblings #Then shit hits the brick UBSJDBSJSN #They make me so ill im not even kidding when i said theyre so so very very doomed!!!!!!!!! #This is abt the au btw BAHHAHAHABHA
