The interactive RP of Mystid Haven aims to be more slice-of-life & hijinks with some adventure.
Keep in mind the OCs aren't real and do not necessarily reflect the views for the Scribes running them.
That said they will be RPed to behave like people as realistically as possible.

Internalized autism is being held to neurotypical standards because you look completely "normal," failing to meet those standards because you're literally disabled, then being told your entire life that you're not quite good enough. 😒

Improving your life & caring for yourself does not mean that your trauma "wasn't that bad" or "doesn't count."
Working your recovery is not about abandoning the "you" who want through it-- it's about honoring & caring for them, by supporting & caring for the "you" they became.

Your trauma conditioning will try to trick you into being cruel to yourself in the name of "realism." It's real good at disguising unfair, reflexive self-talk as "tough love."
Remind yourself it is not "coddling" to speak to yourself respectfully & kindly in your own head.

It takes ENORMOUS focus, discipline, & self-compassion to build a life worth living when coping w/ chronic pain or complicated health issues every day, every minute. It IS possible & realistic-- but do not let anyone make you feel inferior for struggling w/ it. They have no idea.

The tools of realistic trauma recovery are versions of the same tools anybody who's ever accomplished a goal or created a life worth living has used. In working our recovery, we're doing more than healing our trauma-- we're creating a life that has value & is not defined by pain.

We do not choose our triggers or reactions. We CAN learn to choose how we engage w/ them-- how we talk to ourselves about them, how we direct our metal focus when they hit, how we breathe through them-- but it's real important we NOT slip into shame or self-blame.
Easy does it.

This is a reminder that you are not "letting yourself off the hook" in an irresponsible way by extending yourself compassion & patience. Properly understood, self compassion & patience are tools of accountability & realism in trauma recovery-- not enablers of "excuses."

I don't believe in bullsh*t, bypassing, everything's-going-to-be-okay-if-we-just-forgive-and-let-go "hope," any more than I believe in bullsh*t bypassing "tough love."
I believe in incremental progress & realistic, imperfect tools that focus on today, this hour, this minute.

The experience of CPTSD is very often being utterly convinced absolutely nothing can change for us-- but utterly sick & tired of being sick & tired.
That conviction that nothing can change is an illusion reinforced by old conditioning. It FEELS very real-- but it's a CPTSD lie.

We’re looking at redesigning a few pieces from 2023 with updated artwork. I’d love to hear what you’d change and which one you like most.

I have a young classmate who has been walking with me and encountering all the access issues for the first time.
He frowned and said, “I know this is your everyday, so you’re used to it, but…fuck.”
Usually I get a little annoyed when nondisabled people finally figure it out, but—

It’s obvious that the Epstein files have been scrubbed to (continue to) protect people in power, and We the People need to refuse to take it
Unfortunately the entire system the US is built on makes protesting

I've recently seen that a black cosplayer unfortunately took their own life because of the racism they endured online for their cosplays and it's been weighing on me heavily because I just mentioned recently how it seems like there's been a larger uptick in anti-black racism online.

Back at the hospital. Another check up. 😭 Achilles tendon is still healing. I’m just glad it was ruptured instead of even a partial tear
Good news: I can walk in the boot without crutches!

Apparently my dad has been watching terrible AI YouTube sci fi videos, which is driving my mom a little batty.
My father is an educated guy. Was Carl Sagan’s strongest soldier. He knows about the evils, but he’s feeling terrible, can hardly play his music, and just wants escape.
