Chaostheorie's Fandom Blog

Where I ramble about my current fandom obsessions and reblog all of y'all's cool stuff. they/she | English & Deutsch Tatort sideblog @chaostatort

[chaostheorietblr]

Hello, I'm a real person!

Since this is apparently a concern with new accounts that just start following people, I will write a short introduction about myself to hopefully prove that I am not a bot.

I am Chaostheorie on AO3, fairly new to the whole online fandom thing, and now dipping my toes into fandom on Tumblr.

I go through various fandom obsessions, my current main ones are the queer historical romance novels by British author KJ Charles and the long-running German crime show Tatort, as well as Lord of the Rings. I usually read a lot, mostly speculative fiction and romance.

I live in Europe, but have variously lived in Europe and North America throughout my life and have cultural ties to both. I speak English, German, Dutch and some French.

Looking forward to seeing all of y'all's cool stuff!

Edit: I made a side blog for all the Tatort stuff I want to reblog, so nobody gets annoyed on main. It's @chaostatort.

Radiolaria by Ernst Haeckel. These single-celled aquatic animals have spiny silica skeletons which accumulate as a slimy deposit on the seabed. More beautiful radiolaria illustrations here: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/ernst-haeckel-s-radiolaria-1862

My mum has to drive over the Millau viaduct every time she visits me, and the other day I was in the car with her and said we should stop to take a picture, and she said, Must we. And I said, Come on! it’s the tallest bridge in the world. And she just wouldn’t believe me. It’s too familiar to be special… She was like, surely the tallest bridge in the world would be somewhere else. Not between my house and yours.

The votes on this post. Oh. A poem in poll form, interactive art, the fact we can see how the other people reading it felt. im. this is really good.

[lala-lovesie]

Oh man, the emotional experience of reading down through this and deciding that I'll click on one of the "we will make it" options, and then reaching the end and selecting the "I love you we will make it" option, only to see that almost 2/3 of everyone else's done the same. I'm sitting here crying. What an amazing act of art, I'm so glad I got to experience it before the poll closed.

why does it take SO much energy to keep your house only sort of clean

[antiadvil]

it's wild that popular discourse around migraines is that there are too many people who claim to have migraines but "just have bad headaches". this is the exact opposite of my experience? i'm still trying to convince several of my friends that their "bad tension headaches" that are unilateral, throbbing, cause light sensitivity, nausea, etc, are migraines lmao. migraine is underdiagnosed and undertreated by every metric i can think of.

this narrative is not harmless! it prevents people from getting treatment that could really benefit them. so i would like it to die. thank you.

[shamebats]

As a guy who went to see a neurologist only to "rule out migraines" because I thought I had "tension headaches at worst and also it's not that bad really" only to realize by tracking my headache days that I have very bad chronic migraines just with no aura (most people with migraines don't have them), I co-sign this 100%.

Just starting abortive medications already improved my quality of life so much and now that my doctor started me on preventatives, I might actually be able to have more than a handful of headache-free days each month.

Migraine is frequently misdiagnosed as chronic sinusitis or tension headaches according to research. Mostly because people have a very rigid (inaccurate) idea of what it actually is.

But even if it's not migraine, you still deserve treatment for your headaches. Just because someone else has them worse than you doesn't mean you don't deserve relief.

Learning about the different types of migraine and headache disorders can help you better understand your symptoms and discuss them with you

[roach-works]

yeah i found out awhile back that the 'pressure headaches' that i get that 'aren't that bad' (but still leave me feeling sick and dysfunctional all day) were migraines. i now take a low dose of a preventative medication and the number of shitty rain days i have per month has dropped from like ten to two. it's great.

In my experience anyone who has chronic pain of any kind ALWAYS under diagnoses it in part cause people who DON'T have chronic pain always tell them how it's Not That Bad Just Get Over It and it takes a lot of fighting to get anyone (including doctors) to do anything about it. Fucked if I know why. Everyone seems to think we're making it up. I've never met anyone who is making it up.

Lesser-known steps of the writing process:

Finding all the paragraphs where you used some hyper-specific word more than once

Rearranging paragraphs that you swear you wrote in the right order but turned out to be totally backwards

Going for a walk, coming up with the perfect line, and forgetting it as soon as you get home and open your laptop

Creating a separate document where you can dump all of those nice sentences that no longer fit in anywhere

Waking up in a cold sweat because so-and-so was supposed to be barefoot but never actually took his shoes off

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He—wait. Why dost the Lord hath clippers.

The Lord sheareth me.
