i love how sometimes, despite all the medical advancements of the 21st century, the only thing that relieves pain is sitting/laying/standing in a weird position because it places/doesn't place pressure on certain spots
When people think of amnesia, they think of an accident that happened that caused it. Like a car accident, a fall, a head injury, etc etc. Which is completely valid and a very common thing!
However, there are people like me who do have amnesia and there’s nothing that physically caused it. It just is. Through trauma, through a dissociative disorder, through a cognitive disorder, the list is endless with the causes.
I have Amnesia. I cannot remember my past, and my present. I can’t remember important events, birthdays, weddings, my own memories with my partner. It’s disheartening and hurts so much to not remember key things that build a relationship. To not remember things that help you.
I do have some memories, but they’re broken up, and almost most of them aren’t what feels mine. They’re fragments, fragments of things I can remember and things that people tell me about that event.
Some memories are weird. I can’t physically see them, I can’t remember them, but it’s in my head like it’s muscle memory. Like it’s implanted in my brain and i somehow know it.
Amnesia is scary. It’s disheartening. It’s hard to deal with and it’s not fun. Please be kind to those with amnesia from any type of cause.
In all honesty-
-as much as im glad that this twitter user (not calling it X.) felt validated by this scene in particular. But as who is also disabled since I am someone with a mental disability and a mental illness: I find the scene itself to he written in a disingenuous way since it was written by the same creators that:
1. Calls people with mental disorders unnecessary things or outright used the r word in their script to describe a character who’s genuinely autistic coded.
2. Called a literal illiterate person, someone with a disability, “a reeee (cuts off before the r word is said)” and placed them in sloth to call them “lazy” for not being able to read.
3. The creator called people with depression “not genuine” for feeling any happiness or passion in the same sentence where she insulted that person for being agender by calling them a “trender.”
(-all of the evidence is in my pinned post in the document that I made about Vivziepop.)
People with mental disabilities are not less deserving of validity or a “joke” for it being mental. We’re human too, we deserve good representation as well. Period. -and if Vivienne can’t accept that im afriad that she’s not being honest with what she was writing here in the slightest. Just another “Loona in the first season compared to the second season” level of inconsistency in script morality that honestly puts a bad taste in my mouth the more that I think about it. Yikes.
I want y'all to imagine someone in a wheelchair saying they're gonna head upstairs. Just, put that picture in your head. Because that was me a few days ago and as soon as I said that my sibling and mum just did a lil' double-take and laughed.
Apparently that's not what they expected me to say when I was in my wheelchair.
Btw, I was totally just gonna grab my legs and move them individually. I look so demented when I do this, but it's an effective way of going upstairs when you don't have a lift.

People don't see me as disabled because I am not disabled enough for them??? They class me as having learning difficulties not disabilities as if that makes sense
The legal definition of a disability, under the Equality Act of 2010 in the UK, is "if you have a physical or mental impairment that has a 'substantial' and 'long-term' negative effect on your ability to do normal daily activities"
By that definition I am disabled, yet people wanna act like that's debatable
Dyslexia has a substantial and long-term negative effect on my ability to engage with language, that's sort of what makes it dyslexia
Dyspraxia has a substantial and long-term effect on my coordination, it is why I always have a bruise or minor injury somewhere
ADHD does not directly impact any task like dyslexia or dyspraxia, but it sure does make doing tasks more difficult
My dyscalculia means that doing simple addition and subtraction takes actual effort and time for me
And you want to debate whether or not these have a 'substantial' and 'long-term'effect on me, on whether these count as disabilities
What more do you want
Do you want me to be so disabled that I need extra help from other people, because I already need that, and I already get it
Or do you only count it as a disability when a carer is required, when the person can't function on their own
Because I hate to be the bearer of bad news but only a very small minority of the disabled need a full time carer and treating someone like me as if I am not disabled because I don't, ignores the very real help I need just to get around this world
