#so I need to NOT get a migraine

Oh my god oh my god oh my god

There's a Vash and Wolfwood dog papercraft

#Trigun #I know that op shows a lot of tools at the beginning of the tutorial #But this is a SUPER basic papercraft if you want to give it a go! #I highly recommend cardstock if you can #But you can get away with it if it's all you got #I don't think regular paper will stand up as well #Matte photo paper would probably be the best but that shit's expensive #I'm going to work on a couple modifications for my version #Either double-sided printing or two layers... #I think the former #Anyway #The moment this awful migraine is gone #I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING #(As it may be apparent I'm a papercraft addict and I'm totally willing to give anyone advice if they need it!) #(I'm still working on the Trigun foxes btw just working Vash and Wolfwood yin yang kitties first) #I LOVE that this is glue-free tbh #I'm so fucking messy at gluing

Kunikida has chronic pain. he doesn't really know why, he's seen a doctor and they're like "eh, your shit outta luck" and sends him on his way.

he's always stiff and achey and he can tell when it's gonna rain and how bad it's gonna be. pops whatever over the counter pain meds he can get his hands on without thought. is always stretching his back, neck, and legs out cause that's where it's the worst. constantly running a low grade fever.

he's just a little miserable all the time and he doesn't know what to do for it ever.

Dazai notices. he notices on days where Kunikida looks away from his work more often to rub away a migraine or stretch out his back are the days he's more snappy, where he edges into the territory of actually being mean.

he notices that he shivers when a draft or waft of AC hits him.

he notices how the winter and rainy days are harder for his partner. he runs 5 minutes behind his schedule. he needs more breaks. he doesn't pick up a pencil or pen unless he absolutely has to. his hands shake. he looks like he's gonna puke every time he stops to rub at his eyes. he sits in the dark whenever he gets the chance.

he takes it easier on him those days. he at least attempts to look busy and shoulders more of their shared work. he stands closer to him, he doesn't know why, but it makes him feel a bit more at ease. he makes excuses to close windows, turn off the AC, or redirect the fan to give his partner some reprieve. he gets him tea from the cafe. he walks home with him and tells him he looks like shit (they both know he's worried and just can't say it. that he doesn't know how to say it. that he's scared to say it) and Kunikida knows he's telling him to get some rest.

sometimes dazai calls Kunikida to make sure he's alright, flipping their usual script, and if Kunikida's cheeks are a little wet after each phone call, so what?

#(it's fibromyalgia. I'm projecting) #pre #kunikidazai #kunidazai #but like #only by a little #I plan on actually writing something for them with this concept I just needed to get the lead up out of my head #idk why I need to beat Kunikida with the fibro stick so bad but I do. I swear its cause I love him #he's really got more than one issue but the fibro's the bulk of it #he gets migraines too and they make him nauseous #he has chronic fatigue that is only made worse by stress #he's got a lot going on in my head (again. I swear its cause I love him) #kunikida doppo #bsd kunikida #kunikida bsd #dazai osamu #dazai bsd #bsd dazai #bsd #bungo stray dogs

the thing about chronic migraines that they dont tell you is the lingering terror of the long stretches in between them. bc you know you'll have one again. its inevitable. its just a matter of time.

but then you desperately try Not to think about it because you dont want to jinx it / somehow psyche yourself into one

#its been a little over two months and im scared #its gonna be a bad one i know it.... #but i will continue on doing my best to ignore it #freaking out every time its a little harder to think or i get a spot in my vision #im doubly scared one will hit while im driving.... especially when i need to take the long drive into the city #migraine + winding roads = Oh No #absolutely unprompted #migraines i hate you i Hate you #and the extra fear is it always fucks with my brain for a while afterwards #ive been able to think so clearly lately #and im terrified of losing that. its like they scramble my neurons #and it takes so long for them to untangle.... #ive been dealing w this since 6th grade and ill never get used to it #its horrible.... #that being said if anyone reading this is ever writing about migrained #Oh Boy Do I Have Firsthand Experience For You!!!! #*migraines. typing on phone rn

Hi, you said in your bio that you're chronically ill. I was wondering if you had any tips for knitting with chronic pain (assuming that's your flavour of chronic illness)? Or do you know anyone who could give me advice?knitting/sewing is my sanity-saver.

I use compression gloves, only knit with specific weights of yarn (the ones that are the least painful for me), and try to take frequent breaks, which for me looks like switching hobbies every 30 minutes or so (knitting to spinning to knitting, etc). I also do my best to be very gentle on my joints when i can, altho i honestly rarely have the choice at work.

Personally i have joint problems and migraines, so thats what im correcting for/trying not to make worse. Helpful advice probably varies depending on what youre trying to correct for. Really my only general advice is "when it starts to hurt, try to stop" and "if possible, save the painfully difficult stuff for when youre doing well, and make the easier stuff your usual work"

If anyone who sees this has got other tips please feel free to comment them

#i havent knit socks in a while and i realized my last wrist and thumb issue flare up was the last time i did socks #and also right now when im doing socks again #which is making me think maybe my wrists are better than i thought generally speaking but knitting just destroys them #socks specifically i tend to zone out with and ignore pain signals #idk what to do with that info tho. i guess knit fewer socks :( #anyway there may be some things like that which you can save for when youre feeling comparatively well #but chronic pain isnt actually my issue and i can and will work thru pain to the continual degradation of my joints #so rly the joints getting worse is what my problem is #so i dont know how much if any of this is helpful to you #sorry im replying right before i need to leave for work and thru a migraine so. might try and think of something more helpful and update #my answer #chronic illness

[deevotee]

im sure ive made this post before but im forever and always thinking about the fact that ciel and finny both think of themselves as the older brother in their relationship

like ciel thinks he takes the emotional weight of dealing with londons underground and the knowledge of constructing these terrible things, and finny thinks he takes the emotional weight of actually being a murderer and doing terrible things to people and BOTH of them think they're doing it to keep the other more innocent so they can live their life more comfortably because they both want the other to live as the child they didnt get to be

like do you get it? do you understand why i go crazy over them? like so many characters think of themselves as ciels older brother but none of them are on the level that finny is on because hes more actually equal to ciel and literally one of his only friends who could actually understand the level of what he went through and would stick with him through thick and thin and even gets to be ciels little brother at the same time AND even gets to be ciels 'ciel' because that little boy is his sebastian who saved him and gave him a new life and and and-

#i have a migraine and have been stressed all wekk #the solution? think about these two #they drive me CRAZY #i needed something to think about last night to keep my mind less anxious #and the first thing that came to mind was cielinny #they drive me insane in the best way tho #god i love them i want more to their relationship #like yana makes it such a point that they are important and special to each other #but then the content is so rare cuz finny cant come on most of ciels missions 😭 #like i GET it ciel wouldnt want him to see those things #but i want to see more of them together man #cielinny #ciel phantomhive #finnian #devo speaks #meta #black butler #kuroshitsuji

theres this half-formed thought pingponging around in my mind today about kon and keeping up with trying to learn and practice nonpowered hand-to-hand combat after guardian's death. because of how like... one of the very last times he saw guardian (before the whole baby saga and all) was when guardian was telling him to take his training more seriously after he took down the simulated jl bots too hard. it just feels like the kind of thing that would haunt him. and i think trying to keep up with learning the lessons guardian was trying to teach him would feel like a good way to honor him. but also kon's kon you Know he's fucked up about it

#rimi talks #i need to go reread that arc and get panel citations before i can turn this into something more coherent and less rambly #but i think there IS something there. hnnmmnnnmnn. #but before i do that i GOTTA finish the kon & clark fic i gotta... #if i can finish the rough draft And my chem homework tonight that'd be so cool #<- says the guy who has a migraine. its fine.

How does Youn balance Honkai, Genshin, and art, and still pop out so much art? I am struggling to do the same and I don’t get nearly as much drawing done Q-Q

i have set schedules for myself that help me do everything i want and stay relaxed and comfortable lmfaoo

its also bc im endgame in genshin, finished hsr main story for this version and am a very quick reader/artist/etc so i finish up stuff fast i guess?

(also only when its interesting bc i tend to skim stuff or simply dont do things when im not interested in it)

#dunno. i need to set myself schedules to get things done but in a very stress free way with no pressure #bc i hate stress and pressure. i dont get stressed easily but when i do it actually affects me physically LMFAO bc of my migraines etc #so all of this is very very chill #but still structured in my own ways #akjscbkb #reply

[bolithesenate]

everyone alive sound off

i for my part am picking at the mud fic, so there's that.

hoping to get the new chapter somewhere useful after work :3

#random boli thoughts #me writing #hows everyone else doing? #its a bit of a migraine weather and i need to do öaundry afterwards as well so we will see how much i actually get done #⛏️⛏️⛏️

sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:

thing that I already do

thing I have tried 10 times

thing I already do

thing that I don't have the money to do

thing I already do

thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail

thing that is impossible given my situation

thing that doesn't apply to me

thing that I already do

thing I have already tried

hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently

thing I have already done

#I think maybe productivity tips help less if the reason you're unproductive is partially like.. physcial health and other extenral things #out of your control. rather than just like having trouble paying attention or spending too much time on tiktok or whatever #all the strategic to do lists in the world are not going to somehow prevent me from waking up with a debilitating migraine or whatever #or having external stressors or lacking resources and connections or other Productivity Essentials etc. #especially many tips involve stuff like 'cut off from social media' since thats the modern day time waster for so many poeple #and it's like.. lol.. i can hardly even maintain a blog even thuogh i actively WANT TO DO SO. 'shut off your smart phone!' already #done babey i fucking hate smart phones i shall never use an app unless i am forced to. 'delete tiktok' yep. already covered. tiktok and #all of those thinsg are my enemies. 'save money by cancelling some of your services' cool. already ahead of you. #who the fuck is out here paying for like 10 different subscription services. pirated videos uploaded to google drive and youtube to mp3 #my beloved. etc. etc. and so on. 'socialize less' .........LOL.. if only you knew.. mr.writer of the article. i can barely muster #talking to friends more than once a month and even less if I'm actively sick (often occurence) etc. etc. ... hewoo #I think maybe instead of generic productivity tips I need more like.. how to refocus and be productive anyway even if you have a headache #or are nauseous or etc. Not that those are always things to ignore. and of course you should let your body rest and etc. But plenty of peop #e have mild physical symptoms and just work through them. Ithink something about the way my body/mind is SOO hyper attuned to all #sensory information just makes it like... constantly 'GRR well I cant focus on WRITING right now because my lef #t ear feels weird and my socks are too itchy and my back has a strange pressure and I'm vaguely warm and my eye feels some ssort of #way it doesnt normally feel and I'm hyperaware of my breathing and also nauseous for no reason' and like half of those things I #think '''normal''' people wouldnt even notice or at least would be able to just live through. but for me it's like.. nealry impossible to i #gnore and soooo distracting always. like 'wahh.. nooo we can't draw or get anything done.. my legs feel slightly heavy or something!!' #like............. ok......... who cares. thats not even a PAIN sensation it's just something weird. but it's just like.. NO. constant #mental alerts about the 'heaviness' of your legs be upon ye. Though Imean like.. yes.. 70% of the time I am in genuine pain #or having some sort of actual ailment with trackable physical symptoms. but sometimes it's just like... we could totally be working right #now and ignoring this silly thing but my brain is fixated on it for no reason uncontrollably. etc. etc. I guess it's the same way that like #most people can go to a grocery store without the whole experience being so overwhelming and so much stuff going on at once #that they have to rest afterwards but like.. in my own HOME doing NOTHING i feel like I should be able to not get overwhelmed lol. ANYWAY #Rolling my bastard little rock up a dumbass hill and so on and so forth

why can't anyone understand that everyone is different and not everyone likes the same things and that it's completely okay AND normal for someone not to like going out and preferring to stay at home :/

#honestly i understand that my parents care about me and they don't want me to be feeling bad #and that they ask me bc they just want to make sure i'm okay #but i've explained to them what i feel like and they just don't get and i get mad but i akso know it's not their fault and just... oughhhhh #like yeah i have a weird kind of social anxiety according to my therapist and even she doesn't know exactly how to help me yet #but there are just so many reasons behind why i don't like going out and it's not just bc it gives me anxiety #or why those situations give me anxiety in the forst place #1. i'm just a very introverted person that doesn't like going out #2. crowded places/closed spaces/places where there's not enough ventilation/loud places (be it people talking or just music) overwhelme me #3. all said in 2 + flashing lights give me huge migraines that can linger for over 3 days #4. i am very much a night owl and i'm forced to live in a society where that isn't fucking acceptable apparently and i'm called lazy for - #- not being productive in the morning when the only reason behind it is that i am a lot more productive at night #but no one ket's me do that bc 'why are you doing stuff when you're supposed to be asleep?' #i have been the same since i was little. literally nothing has changed #and people where always like 'oh she's just shy' #but idk wtf changed #maybe it was that i became and 'adult' or maybe the fact that i started therapy and they told my parents that i have social anxiety. idk #but suddenly every single person in my family is worried about it and they're genuinely making me feel like there's smth wrong about me #i mean. i have my problems i'm not gonna go telling you that i'm perfect bc i'm pretty much not #but is there really smth that wrong with me that i need to fix #or is society just a bitch that doesn't understand that there's different kinds of people and everyone is different & IT'S COMPLETELY OKAY #have they ever thought about the fact that maybe these situations cause me anxiety bc i've been forced all my life to do them #even if i don't like them #instead of thinking that i don't like them BC they cause me anxiety?? #i mean. i know i have to go out more and that there's tons of things i can do ofc #but you can't just force me to do things i don't want to and put on a good face while doing it *every.fucking.day* #aaaaand i could add a lot more things but i'm once again reaching the tag limit so i shoukd just shut up #it's just driving me crazy bc i know they're trying to help but it really is not helping at all............. #ranting

[spoofyleaf]

To people who are rather dependent on glasses to see clearly bc now I’m curious:

Pls reblog bc I’m genuinely so curious

#for me I only wear them when I leave the house #otherwise I can’t read the big signs for grocery isles #and god forbid i get pulled over I don’t wanna get in trouble #also not being able to See Everything in a place in not 100% comfy in makes me so anxious #catch me refusing to wear them whilst reading or drawing #I like to pretend to wonder why reading gives me migraines #then I refuse to wear my glasses #like I had to buy separate reading glasses #like I’ve got bifocals that mostly help but to See Clearly while reading j need the Strong Reading glasses #it’s okay I’ll sit hunched over my books and art #totally the best option here

[crimeronan]

i am slightly flabbergasted that i need to say this but a radfem just reblogged a post directly from me and i have no idea if she was following me or not bc i don't check my follower list.

i don't do DNIs, they feel uncomfortably performative to me. however i am a former sex worker and butch gnc lesbian with a shit ton of transfem and transmasc and sex worker friends.

i find it very upsetting not so much that this person interacted with my posts, but that she apparently got the impression that my blog is a safe space for radfems.

it is not.

i feel like i've been pretty clear about how much i love my transfem friends and transmasc friends and sex worker friends & i feel like i've been pretty clear about my political stances. but in case this somehow wasn't a one-off and there are more radfems here, like....

I Don't Like You. Please Leave. Thanks

#i've been offline more than usual lately and i don't Discourse so maybe that contributes but like #please tell me it's clear that this is a safe space for trans women. #like idgaf about the radfems i'm just upset bc if they think this is a safe space then i dont know how im coming across to my trans frens #anyway. gonna get out of the house today bc i had a migraine for like two days and need to Leave.
