I had another seizure last night where I lost awareness. 😒 I’ll need to reread the last few chapters of Heaven’s Favorite Sin. Hopefully, it won’t affect my writing too much. My sense of taste has changed. 😩 The cauliflower from lunch tasted, and the texture felt…off, and my espresso frappe was disgustingly too sweet. 

Also, like the last (2?) times since I’ve been writing this fic, my memory is fucked. 😤

So, sorry if the next chapter seems off. 

*It's my own fault. My doctor had to increase my medication dose, and if I don't eat enough while taking it, I get really sick. I can't see straight, feel extremely nauseous, and sometimes I can't even walk. I had to be on a train for 12 hours within 24 hours of each other. I was worried about taking my medicine and getting sick from not eating enough on the train. It happened once before, a few months ago, when I was in a car on the way to the train station. I threw up in the car. My husband and a staff member had to support me while walking to the train because I couldn't stand up straight. Honestly, I'm surprised they let me on the train. My husband told them I was car sick. I took my medication at night but not in the morning on Wednesday and Thursday. 😩*

the same way I’m an ace, and I’ll look at aros like, “Dang that sounds like the shit I deal with but a bit worse. Feel bad for you bros,” that’s how I also feel as an epileptic prone to petit mal seizures and fainting spells hearing about narcolepsy. Like you guys gotta have all the same missing time, the same fear of driving, the same humiliating and awkward anxiety-inducing public scenarios, the same experiences of someone shaking you when like literally that’s not necessary and please do not... but when you explain, I bet it sounds like you’re saying, “I have silly, sleepy little man disease,” to most people who hear it, and I bet a bunch of people straight up don’t buy it and just think you’re rude. Sounds sucky.

Hey Joseph, if you don’t mind me asking, how’d you become a vampire?

...It’s actually quite a boring story! Let’s change the subject, hm?

Stay Safe photosensitive Umbrella Academy Fans!

This isn’t really a rant.. but moreso a bit of a wish. And I really wish Hollywood would tone down on strobe lights.

Okay, so I’m very photosensitive and flashing lights make me very sick. I appreciate that lately people have been pushing more for those warnings as it really does help and saves lives! I also understand that by putting these warnings, those who created the show/movie know that the viewer should watch responsibly. Still, a lot of these things that I can’t watch in recent media end up being from things I love and I still wish to see it.

I really really LOVE Umbrella Academy. When it first came out I had no idea about any stobes in scenes so the Istanbul scene came as a surprise. Thankfully, I was fortunate that this was the only scene that bothered me. I ended up loving and obsessing over the show and I couldn’t wait till season 2. Sure enough it comes along and I’m pumped! This time I saw a warning (thank you Netflix!) and I acknowledged it. I watched the show with a spotter for safety reasons. However, I still wish that I could enjoy this show without doing this. Also, heads up to any Unbrella Academy fans with epilepsy, episode 9 and 10 are a doozy. Like it’s a whole episode of strobing lights pretty much. I understand that the warning means “Hey this isn’t for you chief”, but it just kind of sucks that shows have to put in strobes in the first place.

If you made it this far thanks for reading! I really appreciate you taking the time out to listen to my rambles! Stay safe everyone!

Hey Librarian! Could you help me in finding a fic? It had a deaf Sirius who owned a coffee shop, and a Remus who had epilepsy and was in college. Snape was Remus’s roommate and was quite mean to Remus abt his seizures. Tonks and James worked at the coffee shop too, and Remus was also eventually hired. Remus initially didn’t want to date Sirius bc he was scared Sirius would make fun of his seizures. Thanks so very much for all that you do for the fandom!!

Oh, this is a favorite fic of the Librarian’s, so I’m happy to share this fic with you! Also, thank you so much for the support and kind words!

Fractured Skies -orphaned fic

Two worlds collide. Deaf artist Sirius Black works at his best mate's cafe. Remus Lupin is an epileptic student from France who is just looking to get by unnoticed. But the artist sees something he wants in the shy boy, and makes it his mission to see what makes Remus tick.

If you need help finding a fic, ask the Librarian!

WARNING FOLKS. Lesson 28-5 contains more flashing lights! If you’re prone to migraines or seizures, it happens just after Levi appears, so I’d suggest tapping through it quickly and then reading the log after.

Seizure/Epilepsy/Flashing lights warning for the latest episode of the Mandalorian (Chapter 6). There’s a point in the episode where there are flashing strobe lights for a long period of time, and even a scene where those lights are the only source of lighting. That last scene was enough to set off my sensory problems, and I’m usually pretty good with these things in fiction. Stay safe everyone!
