Part of a system, and a subsystem, the whole system supports endogenic systems

Menhera I think?

Our body is a minor, we will not elaborate further on our age

Our body is disabled, diagnosed with “only” hypermobility and epilepsy and POTS but something else ain’t right

The subsystem members include me, Homura, and Eternal Sugar Cookie)

This blog will contain talk of my experiences with mental illness, particularly old posts may have deeply unhealthy behaviours.

I love asks and DMs please talk to me

I will say whilst I'm glad morality OCD is getting talked about a lot more lately I'm dreading the eventual "autistic sense of justice" treatment it's inevitably going to get. The morals in morality don't have to be and often aren't correct and even when they are having it doesn't make you more likely to actually act on those morals.

The idea you can obsess compulse yourself into being a good person is why your brain is tormenting you like this in the first place. Do not try and make your mental illness righteous do not treat it like good person who's too nicies disease or infantilize people over it.

man i just dont know why im so afraid all the time (<- has the disorder that makes you afraid all the time)

btw your witty and creative friend could have npd, the family member that believes fortune tellers and always closes the windows could have stpd, the friendly neighbour that always asks how did your day go could have aspd, the not-so-talkative sweetheart you're dating could have dpd, the classmate that always shares jokes with you could have szpd. personality disorders ain't as special or rare as you think, you just don't know them enough. it's not always obvious!!

People don't like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn't be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they're basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.

Like it's just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like "we're using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can" and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.

Actually, I realized my real point here: we all need to make our art weirder. Please make weird art. I want more stuff like Prequel Adventure and 17776 and MyHouse.wad and I want it now. Capitalism thrives on conformity. We must be weird at all costs.

corruption + spiral avatar that infects you with sickness no one else can see. they all keep insisting it's fine, your house is clean enough, you don't need to worry, but you can feel the germs on every surface, you know the infection is coming for you. of course it isn't clean enough. didn't someone touch that doorknob without gloves on?

at home, you are plagued by symptoms. you cough and sneeze and retch until your chest is aching and your body is drained of energy. yet somehow, they seem to vanish when anyone else comes around. "you seem fine to me," they say accusingly. "were you just trying to get the day off?" the sore throat, the headache, the sure and terrible knowledge that you have been infested with viruses and harmful bacteria--they all return as soon as you are left alone.

you are sick. the others are starting to notice, but they misunderstand the nature of your illness. you hear them sometimes, whispering about anxiety and compulsions. but this has nothing to do with mental illness. this is disgustingly physical. the more you clean, the worse it gets, creeping filth and dirt in every corner of your home, hidden in every public space, waiting to seep into your body. there is no escape and there is no one who believes you.

if you're against incarceration then you have to be against psychiatric incarceration. you cannot pick and choose who "deserves" to be incarcerated.

until more people inside the movement can actually let go of the idea that intelligence is a virtue, ND activism is going to remain glued to the floor.

This is not an extensive list of types of delusions, these are only a few common types of delusions, there are other less common types of delusions which are not mentioned in this comic

[nondivisable]

some of yall need to understand that "my body, my choice" also applies to:

addicts in active addiction with no intention of quitting

phys disabled people who deny medical treatment

neurodivergent people who deny psychiatric treatment (yes, including schizophrenic people and people with personality disorders)

trans people who want or don't want to medically transition (yes, including trans masc lesbians with top surgery and trans women without bottom surgery, yall are so weird to them wtf)

and if you can't understand that, then you don't get to use the phrase

10 reminders for disability pride month.

1. there will always be someone more severely affected by their disability than you are, this does not mean you aren't disabled, or that your struggles aren't real. these disabled people are not your enemy.

2. visibly disabled people are not treated better than invisibly disabled people, there are different struggles to both.

3. visibly & severely disabled people are not lucky for being visibly disabled or severely disabled. this belief is ableist.

4. we all need to keep the more severely disabled people in mind, they are the most vulnerable & this is disability justice 101.

5. there will always be severely disabled people in public, you absolutely need to work on your discomforts about the conditions/aids/symptoms/behaviours they might have; drooling, incontinence, "odd" behaviours, visible differences, use of AAC etc. this is a you problem, not a them problem.

6. there will always be symptoms of disabilities that you don't approve of; zero social awareness, cognitive impairments, violent meltdowns, strong smells & loud noises, being nonverbal/semiverbal etc. no one can force you to like it, but you cannot be cruel to them regardless of your opinions, again, this is a you problem & not a them problem.

7. you can still be ableist even if you yourself are disabled, this isn't always internalised, it can also be outright ableism.

8. caregivers of severely disabled people often play an important role in disability spaces, try not to *immediately* discount their experiences, unless they're truly over stepping, are being factually incorrect/uneducated or ableist. (caregivers can come with unique problems in disability spaces, 100%, but they are not inherently bad)

9. severely disabled people will have experiences you do not have, it is not an attack on you when these experiences are talked about.

10. “people wouldn’t say [ableist thing] to a wheelchair user” yes they would and yes they do.

and yes, some of these things that i've mentioned still applies to less severely disabled people, but goes especially for severely disabled people who often experience these things the most. be kind, be compassionate.

Hey, it’s ok to not be a “productive member of society.”

Some people are housebound. Bed bound. Some people physically can’t eat, shower, or use the toilet without the assistance of a caretaker. Some people don’t have the spoons to get out of bed in the morning, let alone work a 9-5 job in this capitalist hellhole.

You’re not lazy. You’re not less than.

And this is coming from a disabled person with chronic pain who can leave the house and walk (with some pain) without mobility aids.

You deserve to take up space. You deserve to cost money. You deserve to be here without feeling guilty just because you can’t give back in the traditional way.

You’re worth it, hun. 🫶🏼

'Cause people tend to not get the memo: People acting strangely in public is not a danger to you. Pacing, talking to themselves or something you can't see, laughing to themselves, stimming, twitching, ticcing, making "weird" noises--it doesn't fucking matter. They're not your personal freak show, they're not broken, they're not a murderer and they're definitely not going to be fucking helped by you calling the authorities or anyone else on em. These actions alone are not indicative of danger to you, as a random person on the street. Shut the fuck up and move on, leave disabled people alone.
