types of maladaptive daydreamers

The mover and shaker

The best, most jam-iest music that needs to be on full blast. and moves that could ~kill~. Literally. Their daydreams only happen when in fast motion, whether it’s hopping, dancing, skipping, gettin’ down, or runnin around. Loves speakers, having the house to themselves, and socks. Hates that they can’t easily daydream when others are around.

The pacer

The most common type. Earbuds are ~essential~. All they need is a comfy, climate controlled space to walk around and get absorbed. Love socks, hiking and the time when everyone else goes to bed. Hates when people ask them why they pace so much and always wear big ol’ sweatshirts.

The props person

Needs props. Always. Something to hold to make their daydreams more real, perhaps a bottle for when their para is at a party or a wand for the fantastical. A lowkey thespian. Loves collecting stuff (probably stamps), gloves and their siblings. Hates cleaning their room.

The thespian

Talking to yourself! Acting out every motion! Pretends to be super tuff but is just a lil bab that must be protected. Contrary to popular belief, doesn’t enjoy acting. Loves being alone, hates when they get caught talking to theirself. The most highkey.

The lucky ones

Don’t need to move or anythin’, just a comfy spot to curl up in with some music and a few scenario ideas. Probably has organized pinterest boards for each of their characters, relationships and scenarios. Loves long car rides and browsing pinterest. Doesn’t hate anything tbh.

Which one(s) are you? I’m a mix of mover and shaker and thespian :)

care for yourself while you daydream!!

hello my mdd babies, i am now your mother.

REMEMBER TO...

-drink water while you daydream!! especially if you are very active while you daydream!!

-keep a granola bar or another easy snack nearby while you daydream!!

-wash your face!! especially if you touch your face a lot while you daydream!

-wear socks and put lotion on your feet!! if you’re a pacer or a dancer (like me) your feet can get rubbed raw so easily! care for your footsies!

-put lotion on your hands and bandaids where your hands get raw! if you push off of walls while you pace or dance, repeat motions, or play with objects, it’s important to care for your hands so they don’t go raw or get blisters!

-always stop if you begin to feel pain anywhere while you daydream or hit something while pacing or dancing!

please add any other mdd self care tips !! :^)

maybe this is just me but i dislike writing down details about my paras, i like them to be fluid in my mind so they can just kinda float and change, i feel like my writing ruins them ;-;

when ur character does something you told them not to do but it’s all in your head so it doesn’t make sense that they didn’t do what you wanted but oh no everyone’s feelings are messed even in your head what are you dOING sTOP THAT
