  1. When I drop my housemate at uni (she works there), we'll often pop past McDonald's so she can get an iced coffee. I'll use the app to order for her, especially if I have points to get it for free.

    The app gives an order number made up of 2 letters and two digits for you to tell the drive through person... which means looking at the code on my phone and remembering it to tell the person, harder than it sounds for someone who has adhd, dyslexia and dyscalculia.

    So, I make up images...
    LR36 - 36 lesbian rogues
    TH95 - 95 tiny hitlers
    MB42 - 42 monkey butts

    ...I'm dreading the day I forget to translate it back to the code and just yell FIFTY FOUR OTTER DICKS at some poor customer service person trying to do their job.

    ≫ I mainly yell about fictional characters and how they make me feel, but I post art/ocs/writing as well! I'm your friendly neighborhood cat!!! (* ^ ω ^) Let's be friends! You can PM me about any of our shared interests at any time! Especially my hyper fixations!! Ask for my discord / and server invites.
    PLEASE ask me to filter/hashtag/mention things, I might have missed a CW or two. I use tone indicators at times, and due to my dyslexia, I sometimes don't make any sense and misunderstand/misuse words :,) Sorry!!! Mulle saa puhuu suomee jos silt tuntuu!! :D (this is a rewritten intro, just reposting it without visible edits)
    I use a screen reader sometimes!

    ≫ I refer to my sona as me/myself and her (3rd person), but inside my head (daydreams), we are one entity/person. We are the same and different, ik it's weird. Nomi and Sini are different basically. So for example when I say OCxCanon I usually mean a ship with Nomi (or another OC). I use selfship to mean specifically Nomi. When I refer to F/Os, I'm talking about relationships Nomi is in (aka me, inside my daydreams). Nomi uses She/Her pronouns, while I, Sini, use Ae/aer, which can help distinguish which "self" I'm talking about. Just maladaptive daydream things lmao. I will write an in-depth post at some point, Please ask if I'm confusing or just wanna learn more <3
    Please keep in mind: I have issues with reality/delusions/paranoia, and I do not see fictional characters as real for my OWN SAFETY, you do you though!

    ≫ I don't want to talk about (Some squicks), not really a DNI, I'm trying not to engage, I have filtered some terms related to these, so I might not see your message/comment mentioning them:
    Fandoms: MBTI Myers–Briggs is a pet peeve/I'll rage lol, Hiveswap + Friendsim, Homestuck^2, Moomin/Muumi OCs and ships (I'm extremely sensitive about how non-finns view my childhood series, sorry!), Most American TV & cartoons (Marvel/Superheros, Most Sitcoms),
    Themes: HARD NO NO NO!! UGLY BASTARDs / Unattractive male assaulters etc you want to call them, AND NO EXTREME UNDERAGE (less than 5, toddlercon, babycon) NSFW - Omegaverse / A/B/O, mpreg tpreg, etc., Female character hate/criticism ( "No women in my Male-only games/Male cast" "Male>Female characters", MLM>WLW/MLW ships, "ew woman/women", "breaks my ship", aggressive/jealousy at women interacting with your ships/ F/O, etc.) Misogyny kink/fetish is ok tho, Anti-shippers and how they are annoying/hypocritical etc. (I'm just tired of it all),
    I'll most likely update and edit this stuff constantly.

  4. CW: mh-, childhood trauma, school, long post

    I need to write down these thoughts to remember them tomorrow, when I go to therapy.

    I might be going to a class meeting soon and I just had the thought that maybe teachers would be there too. At first I didn't know why I hated that idea, but now I know.

    During my childhood and youth all grownups failed me on every level.
    Teachers would make me feel bad about myself by dissing me for my bad grades, by shaming me in front of the class during oral tests or when making me read out loud (I had a learning disability and would never learn reading well).
    They would always say how bright and talented I was, but blame me for being lazy. They would make me feel inadequate and wrong. And not once I remember a teacher asking me what my home situation was like, whether I was safe or whether I was being abused.

    My stepfather, who came into my life when I was about five or six, after my parents divorced, beat me.
    My parents didn't protect me. Nobody did.

    But it speaks volumes that I hated school more than I hated home. I would simulate sickness all the time or just leave school early in later years.

    There was no one I could turn to, because there was no one who cared. I was never good at lying or keeping secrets, so I'm sure it wouldn't have been hard to make me talk, if only any grownup would have made me feel safe around them.

    I was bullied in school too. And by my friends no less. Because of what happened at home I never liked being touched by men or boys. They found out and exploited that weakness. They would touch me inappropriately and my fighting back only egged them on. And sometimes I would get in trouble for fighting back (a little).

    I'm not saying life treated me any better in the past 14 years after school, but I still have nightmares about going back there.

    I fell in love with a classmate after I flunked in the 10th year of compulsory school. I won't bother trying to explain what grade that is to you, wherever you come from - lets just say I was about 16. She was wonderful and so good to me. But me never really having experienced love or having developed properly, I didn't show healthy attachment patterns. I had way too hard feelings for her and became dependent/addicted/obsessed. She never loved me back and in the last grade I went to the headmaster to ask him to downgrade me one class, because I couldn't stand being in the same class with her anymore.
    So I was the new kid in a classroom again and for half a year repeated the second to last grade. I didn't have to pass any tests or do homework, because I had already passed that grade.
    But when the last grade started I couldn't get used to doing anything for school anymore. Not to speak of my heavy depression.

    Even during that time none of the teachers suspected there was something seriously wrong with me. And nobody seemed to have any sympathy for me. I think they waved me through graduation, because they didn't want to deal with me anymore.

    Those last one and a half years are the time I have the most nightmares about. Teachers torturing me through tests and stuff, when I probably should have been in stationary care.

    While I'm writing this I've changed my mind. I now wish teachers will be there at the class meeting. I'd like to confront them about all this.
    I'd start by asking if anything has changed for the better for students, since we graduated. Whether kids who didn't perform well are still being tortured and humiliated in front of their peers, without any regard of what trauma they might go through at home.

  5. The Dyslexia-Stress-Anxiety Connection:

    Dyslexia can have a much greater impact on some that live with it. Aside from commonly known symptoms, it can sometimes be accompanied by debilitating stress and anxiety.  Dyslexia is nothing to joke about.

    Keeping your glass half full seems to be recommended.

    Great information from the International Dyslexia Association:
