2, 3, 4, and 5 for the sleep oc questions thingie

2. In what atmosphere or situation are your ocs most uncomfortable or stressed?

I hate crowded places! SO MUCH!! They cause so much stress and anxiety. Especially if I dissociate and get lost. Now that’s a nightmare..

3. Which oc can’t sleep or concentrate when it’s too quiet?

Not me, definitely! I like silence! My guess would be Malik. They like to be loud and if it’s quiet, they always have some earbuds on and music playing.

4. Which oc can’t sleep or concentrate when it’s too loud?

Hmm, maybe me? I’m ok with some noise like tv and music playing in the background but I have to be in a situation where I feel comfortable.

5. Which oc/s have a hearing aid?

I don’t have one and I don’t think any of my friends have one either.

for victoria: do you have any pets? what are they like? did you have any childhood pets? did you want pets? what's a pet you'd really like but probably never will own?

I have one current pet! His name is Cheddar and he’s a welkshire corgi! He’s a grumpy old man and only likes one out of his three dog friends. Sounds a bit sad but trust me he loves me very much! I used to have a dog and a cat in my childhood but they both passed away in the fire. I’d totally own a macaw but I’m too broke and would overall be a bad owner oops.

[maddmeerkat]

for victoria: what was your childhood like? happy memories or sad? u can be vague if you want

It was pretty depressing. My parents were mentally abusive to me, I didn’t have much friends, and blah blah blah. Everything is good now. That’s all that I care about. - Victoria

6, 7, and 8 for the oc questions~

6. What are your ocs’ clearest memories?

Honestly, I’m not sure, my past was a huge mess. I guess I can accurately remember when I went to Australia a couple months back! That was a beautiful experience.

7. What are your ocs’ fondest memories?

My fondest memories? Oh boy do I have many.. I guess it has to be a couple months after moving in with Malik, Ricky, and Tam. I finally got used to everything and all we did was goof around. I miss those days...

8. Which oc is/was really good at history?

I’ve never been good at history.. All those dates and memorization, it drove me nuts! I’m not sure about my other friends though. I’ll have to ask Cathy! She’s my best friend.

Greetings Victoria! I hope you’re doing well today! ^^ Maybe you could introduce yourself a bit? I’d love getting to know you!

Alright! So, where do I even start? Well it’s start things off I’m female and a proud bisexual! I’m not in any current relationship even though I’ve fallen in love with almost everyone I know.. I live in a pretty large house in Lavas Arkana (made up city) with my dog, Cheddar, and my two friends Malik and Ava! I’m an animator and also write my own stories. My favorite colors are yellow and lavender, I prefer dogs over cats, and I have almost too many friends… Anyways, I think that’s it for now! Thanks for stopping by!

[maddmeerkat]

paraday tomorrow!

oh hey my second paraday is tomorrow!! Like last time Victoria will be taking over my account and be answering some questions. Make sure to send in some asks for tomorrow!!

[maddmeerkat]

I’ve been struggling for the past few weeks with awful intrusive thoughts. They’re starting to seep into my daydreams and I don’t want them there!! I’ve always been decent with distracting myself but lately I can’t seem to escape from them. Any advice?

Friendly reminder to all maladaptive daydreamers out there to eat and drink properly. Stay hydrated and make sure to eat some veggies and fruit. I’m in this hell for so long now that my body suffers from it. A couple weeks ago I almost collapsed because I neglected all of this. I was opting for cheap and fast to make food that don’t require effort and was too lazy to walk into the kitchen to get some water or tea. It’s easy to ignore your body’s needs when you are stuck in your head. PLEASE, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!

☁️ MaDD Tags Masterpost 🌙

Here is a master list of all the tags we use in the MaDD community. Please tag your posts correctly in order to avoid a messy & unclear feed! Suggestions and boosts are very much welcome. I’ll update this post as necessary.

💭 Tags to use: 💭

⭐️ maladaptive daydreaming / actuallymadd - The main tags to talk about MaDD specifically. Information, thoughts, resources, questions, all of that goes here. (Variations include: madd, actually madd, maladaptive daydreaming disorder, maladaptive daydreamer)

⭐️ paraportal - This is where all the posts about paras, characters, paracosms and worlds should go in order to keep the main tags clean. This includes writing, boards, poems, art, thoughts, ideas, etc, as long as it’s about paras & paracosms. (Variations include: para portal, madd boards, madd art)

⭐️ madd positivity / madd humor - Encouraging posts & general positivity around MaDD. This includes fun relatable content and memes.

⭐️ madd negativity / madd pains - This is the place for all the dark, painful and negative things that MaDD can cause. This sometimes includes memes.

⭐️ madd recovery / madd tips - Tips & tricks and inspiring words to help you overcome MaDD. Be careful with madd tips as there can be tips there to help you daydream, but in general it is about recovery.

⭐️ madd experiences - Neither positive nor negative, this tag is simply to talk about your experiences with MaDD, ask questions and connect with others.

⭐️ paraday - An event tag where people let their paras ‘speak’ on their blogs or make a new blog that is ‘run’ by their paras. Here is the paraday masterpost.

⭐️ madd music - Anything to do with daydreaming + music goes here. If you’re looking for new music, this is a great place, as people post a lot of songs & playlists.

💭 Things to avoid: 💭

⚡ Don’t tag MaDD-related things as “mdd” or “md”; this stands for ‘major depressive disorder’ and they have asked us in the past to not use these for MaDD. Please be kind & remind people to not use them.

⚡ Please keep para/paracosm related posts out of the main tags, instead use “paraportal” to talk about them! Our community is growing fast & there’s more and more para stuff cluttering up the main tags.

⚡ Reminder that most of these are for immersive daydreamers as well. You’re free to use tags like “paraportal” & “madd humor”, but please keep away from things like “madd negativity” & “madd pains” as this is to talk about MaDD exclusively.

⚡ If you do not have Immersive Daydreaming or suffer from MaDD, please do not post in our tags (unless you have a question). You’re free to reblog a lot of content, tho everyone has their own feelings about this so make sure you’re good to go. You are however encouraged to reblog helpful information & spread awareness.

Friendly reminder that self inserting is okay! Mary sue paras are okay! Gary stu paras are okay! OP paras are okay! Self insert Mary Sue/ Gary stu paras are okay! OP self inserts are okay! It’s your universe, no one else’s so make it however you want to
