Stimming!
What is stimming?
In it’s most simple form, stimming is a repetitive body movement that self-stimulates one or more senses in a regulated manner.
What types of stims are there?
Visual Stims
Flapping hands, blinking and/or moving fingers in front of eyes, staring repetitively at a light, pressing on closed eyes to create visual effect [pressure phosphene], …
Auditory Stims
Snapping fingers, tapping on objects, listening to the same song on a loop, rolling Rs, “cat noises”, repeating words, putting hands over ears, singing, clicking tongue, humming…
Tactile Stims
Scratching, rubbing the skin with one’s hands or with an external object, pinching the skin, putting thumb inside fist, sucking thumb, rubbing hands/feet together, petting preferred textures, tying knots/twirling string, twirling/stroking hair…
Vestibular Stims
Moving body in rhythmic motion, rocking front and back or side-to-side, spinning, pacing, walking in circles, walking on tip-toes, jumping up and down…
Taste Stims
Licking body parts, licking an object…
Smell Stims
Smelling objects or hands, smelling other people…
Rhythmic Stims
Tapping on surfaces/objects/self, clicking fingers, making repetitive vocal sounds, bouncing legs, foot tapping, hand flapping, clicking pens, …
There are a lot of other stims as well that don’t necessarily fall under the category of “repetitive” such as pressure stimming, which are still just as valid. Basically if what you do serves the purpose of the stim, you can call it a stim.
Why do people stim?
People stim for all different kinds of reasons. They may stim when they are happy or excited, when they are stressed, as a part of their normal body language, as a way of communication, as a punishment, as a response to something internal or external, as a compulsion, to focus, to self soothe, etc. Stimming can be a coping mechanism, but it can also be so much more! No matter what reason someone has for stimming though, it’s important to remember that all stims are natural and normal.
Who stims?
Anyone that finds stimming useful, whether consciously or subconsciously, can stim. This includes neurotypicals, but mainly stimming is seen as something that neurodivergent people do and it occurs most frequently in:
the autism spectrum
sensory processing disorder (SPD)
Tourette’s
schizophrenia
OCD
people that experience mania/hypomania
people with ADHD/ADD
people with anxiety
etc

This is the original version, and not the stolen version. Be kind, blog originals, and don’t take someone else’s writing, that’s not very cool.
i was rocking back and forth while reading this (which is one of my stims) without realizing it and then i got to the vestibular stims on the list and laughed at the coincidence
really like drawing them in each others outfits

The Heterosexual Character Of Today Is:
Mako from The Legend of Korra
This is disrespectful to Mako. How dare you insult him like this.
How is you liking a character related to their canon (or even headcanon) sexual orientation? Is it impossible for someone to have written an LGBT+ character you don’t like, or to write a heterosexual character that you do?
Maybe it’s cause I’m heterophobic.
#it was a joke omg you don’t have to take it seriously Poe’s law, you sounded just like people who come to their blog and show real hate for no good reason.
You’re point is? I didn’t send hate I made a comment about Mako. There’s a different between sending actual hate and making a joke.
…In case it wasn’t incredibly clear, my point was that you sounded just like someone who meant what you said emphatically, rather than jokingly. There isn’t really a good way to tell the difference except that you said it was all a joke after you said it.
Okay?
#I said a character wasn’t heterosexual arrest me
If you’ll direct your attention up the page a few centimetres, you’ll find that’s an oversimplification of what you did. You said it was disrespectful to call a character straight, then said that you connect heterosexuality with bad characters, and on a different post you said that people shouldn’t have het character headcanons because most characters are assumed straight all the time, which is something only you were proposing.
Yep I’m the only person to ever say characters are usually assumed to be straight you really got me.
No, of course you aren’t, but you’re not in good company there. And you missed the rest of the comment sweaty:)
Lmao because I already explained I was making a joke but that’s not good enough is it sweaty:) I guess the answer is “I’m heterophobic” :)
ah yes “straight is an insult.” “people shouldn’t have straight headcanons.” Such humourous jokes. So funny.
Yes I agree :)
my bad, that was a mistype. It should have had “:)” at the end. sorry if any nuance was lost for it’s lack:)
That’s okay :)
It’s a fucking series of lines in the general shape of a person
what ppl think yang xiao long is like
party girl
short-tempered
reckless
Mom
blonde bimbo
puns
what yang xiao long is actually like
is actually incredibly smart and shows an ability to plan and strategize
highly protective of her friends even if she disagrees with them
probably acts like the Mom Friend to deal with the loss of both maternal figures in her life
probably acts reckless because she seems to value herself very little
almost certainly has abandonment issues
shows symptoms of multiple mental illnesses
would probably throw herself in front of deadly blows meant for any of her team mates
puns
This is the coolest thing I’ve seen all day.

Tfw people who are kin with fictional characters claim to have the memories of that character
Like holy shit that’s stupid
Let mentally ill people have their coping mechanisms
I’m not talking about mentally ill people that are coping
I’m talking about normal people who have no mental illnesses who claim to have the memories of fictional characters that do nOT EXIST
how do you know if the people are mentally ill or not? how. do. you. know. see you don’t! And you’re assuming! you know what assuming stands for? it makes an ass out of u and me
I’m not saying none of them have mental illness though
If they’re using it to cope, that’s fine
If they’re just doing it because whatever and they have no mental illness whatsoever (I have seen this), then that’s fucking stupid
do you really think that people who aren’t mentally ill genuinely believe that they’re a fictional character??? really??? you really think that 100% mentally healthy people believe they have the memories of fictional characters??? yeah because that’s not literally a delusion at all, nope.
calling symptoms of mental illness “fucking stupid” just because they’re weird or whatever makes you an awful person tbh.
B O Y
I’VE SEEN IT WITH ME OWN TWO EYES
Don’t call it a delusion if it’s actually happening
… believing you’re a fictional character is a delusion. delusions are symptoms of multiple mental illnesses. stop.
B o y.
I’ve seen people who have said many times that they do not have mental illnesses claim that they have the memories of fictional characters.
Also how is this ableism????
they may claim that they’re not mentally ill, but they are.
it’s ableism because being otherkin is literally a symptom of mental illness, and hating/harassing someone for displaying symptoms of mental illness is the definition of ableism.
So what you’re saying is that because i think that someone who has claimed that they are not mentally ill and that they are actually a fictional character, and that I believe their claims of not being mentally ill, that means that I am an ableist?
I’m mentally ill with Asperger’s syndrome and severe clinical depression. Professionally diagnosed btw. Found out almost 9 years ago. I think I can add to this myself
I don’t like the assumption that people in my situation are so childish that they need to make a persona up in order to survive every day life. Yes I get overwhelmed thanks to my symptoms. Having a mental illness is exhausting and frustrating to deal with. There’s no denying that and the fact that things that are easy for average people can be overwhelming for others. But my friends with mental conditions and I are not this weak willed and don’t want to be babied or coddled in a world that doesn’t exist. We want to be taken seriously in the real world, and unfortunately this excuse is not helping us. In fact it’s excuses like this that keep me from being public about my problems outside the Internet. Because I’ll always be lumped in with people who are just outright looney or stupid like a good number of people on this site.
I appreciate what you’re standing for plushielamb. I’m not trying to antagonize you for doing what you think will help others. I also want there to be more acceptance for the mentally ill because there really isn’t enough. It can destroy people if they don’t get help but it’s such a taboo to speak of it in public for some reason. Something has to be done because there are countless people suffering as a result. Ignorance is always the murder weapon.
But I’m going to be blunt.
It's okay to daydream and imagine so long as you're grounded in reality and realize your actions have actual consequences. But if you really tell people you’re a fictional character and expect to be treated as such, if you go around telling people you’re from an imaginary world and are influenced by other imaginary people, mentally ill or not, you need some fucking help. And not from a doctor who’s name begins with http.
im sorry

THIS IS THE BEST THING IVE EVER SEEN
McCalls and Buttericks patterns on sale at Joanns, so I picked up everything on my currently-in-print list. They also had a 60% off coupon, so I got an entire bolt of muslin for mockups and patterning.
Then I saw this lovely crinkle chiffon and even though I swore to myself I wouldn’t start getting anything for Sarah’s ballgown until after Ella or Elsa were finished, I bought it. Then I bought another possible overlay online and we’ll see which one I like more /cosplaylife
I love a good pattern sale! Good luck on your projects, I believe in you!
