super senses and overstimulation. peter used to call it a meltdown. when derek couldn’t just tune things out, and would go wooden, and stop responding. 

but it was never that big of a deal unless peter was re-telling it. 

telling everyone how careful they had to be around him. 

derek’s never gonna let somebody talk about his son like that. like it isn’t obvious what eli’s going through, every time. and that all he really needs is some coping strategies, and some reassurance. 

“how have we never talked about this before?” stiles says. “because that’s exactly… like, oh my god. exactly my childhood.”

“really,” derek says.

“besides the superpowers, obviously,” stiles says. “but, like, bright lights, or perfume, or… actually, texture’s the worst one. velvet is literally evil. like, fingernails on a chalkboard would be more comforting. or suede, or stockings, or too-dry paper.” 

derek grimaces, and stiles says, “which ones? you’re fucking kidding.”

“nope,” derek says, and stiles stares at him for a while.

suede isn’t that bad sometimes. but for eli, it’s pretty much torture.

he’s a lot like stiles, actually.

“yeah?” stiles says, and his heartbeat speeds up for a second before he adds, “just when you finally thought you were free of me! nope.”

but his voice is soft, and his eyes flicker over derek’s face. derek steps closer, swallows.

and he should’ve done this a long, long time ago.

Normalize dressing literally however you want.

Normalize dressing alternative.

Normalize dressing for comfort.

Normalize dressing formal in informal settings.

Normalize not liking formal clothes.

Normalize wearing tails, ears, and other things considered "cringe."

Normalize needing to dress a specific way because of sensory processing issues.

Normalize not having one set fashion sense and changing things up.

Normalize wearing clothes associated with the opposite binary gender, including for both cis people and trans people.

Normalize wearing revealing outfits just because you like them.

Normalize dressing "dramatic" or "over the top."

Normalize cosplay.

Normalize historical fashion.

It's your body! It's your skin! You deserve to feel comfortable in it, whatever that means for you.

I hate this curse of sensory hypersensitivity. It's outright crippling—every damn thing becomes a challenge when you easily get overstimulated by noise, light, and people.

bitches be like "oh i don't get sensory overload" and then nearly scream and smash their phone into the ground because their little cousin wanted to play roblox and they really like their little cousin and adore her so much but this time the fact that she is constantly talking and her voice grates ever so slightly on the ears and that she's very loud and bubbly and that she's singing and talking and there's music from the game blasting through her tablet as well and cooking noises and smells in the background from their mum and their sister who is also a darling keeps putting her fucking arm on theirs and they can feel their clothes and skin and its also hot and they're also expected to talk and play and be high energy and they just cant fucking take it so wind up ranting on tumblr about it whilst also wishing never to interact with a human ever again.

its me, i'm bitches <333

happy disability pride month!!!

this is your reminder to use your accommodations before you start suffering! if you’re photophobic, put the sunglasses on before you’re in pain. if you have joint instability, put the gloves on before your hands start hurting. if you can feel the migraine coming on, take the rescue meds before you’re incapacitated.

it’s not a waste or an overreaction, it’s a preventative measure. you deserve to live life to the fullest, and sometimes that means using the aids whenever and wherever you can.

wear those earplugs, use your wheelchair, say no to things you can’t do. i love you all
