Not sure why it's a new trend among fic readers to assume if the fic has not been posted within the week it's inappropriate to comment on it, like the fic has to be hot out of the oven to give feedback for.
I got a comment on a fic that is less than a year old and it was mostly an apology for being a comment on an "old fic" and how late they were in commenting.
Just comment on the fic. Doesn't matter how old it is.
Fandom is not social media.
Fandom is not trends.
Fandom is a cross between a library and having a slumber party with your friends.
"Old" means nothing to fic.
To the german disability care system:
- Apologies that I have tried to function with my disabilities for all my life because I did not know I was disabled until a few years ago. If I had been diagnosed as a child, it would have been easier.
- Apologies that my parent neglected me and traumatized me into functioning, which is why I was not diagnosed as a child.
- Apologies that when I almost
died, I went into a clinic (I did not even had a choice) that you do not like the name of, which is why you do not accept their papers. (Literally: JUST the NAME which does not have "psychiatry" in it but "psychotherapy".) - Apologies that I am still a bit functioning, but sure, let us wait a bit longer because in 1 or 2 years the system has me so broken that will not be able to work at all anymore.
- Apologies that I want to exist with my disabilities and heal my trauma, which is why I wanted help from you, but I understand you do not want to.
oh hey fellow German. Yeah, that really does suck ass.
Hot take: stress is stress. Stop fucking belittling it.
And the same goes for pain and overwhelm.
Why?
- If you are drowning, the depth of the water is irrelevant. You are still drowning.
- It doesn't matter if someone else might be more stressed or in more pain than you - yours is always valid.
Comparison & self-gaslighting just worsen your situation because they just cause more stress and don't help to solve anything.
"They are doing so much and yet still push through, and I want to take a break because I can't anymore, I shouldn't do that if they don't."
"They are far more hurting than I am because of [×]. I shouldn't request help, as they deserve the help more than me."
"Maybe I am imagining my sensory overload."
Important reminders:
- Overwhelm is not a sign of weakness. Accept your struggles and try to work with them and not against them.
- Free yourself from "oh but they". Are they you? No? Then please, here is the trash bin for your thought. Your feelings and your pain matter always.
Yes, you can ignore your pain & stress for a short period of time, and that is called dissociation.
But here is the thing: just because you refuse to acknowledge it, doesn't mean your body ✨️magically ✨️stops to feel it.
Your body doesn't consider what if's and people's opinions when it is in pain. Or in general really. That is all your brain. And that is often not a good thing ;]
The body just sends the notification of "ouch" since it only has itself to compare to.
If you continuesly ignore that notification, they will add up until they reach a point you can't ignore your body anymore.
And that forces you down.
So please. Don't do that. Alright?
I actually kinda teared up reading this cause I felt so seen. My family tends to "deny" (Moreso just try to not see/ downplay) that autism is a disability.
I also suffer from almost constant leg and back pain that in some rare cases makes me physically unable to walk or move much at all while I sob my heart out and just try to keep going because physically, there is nothing there. We have found nothing that would indicate that there's a physical problem. And often I doubt my own pain despite the fact that I sometimes lay on my bedroom floor, crying and just trying to crawl to my bed.
Long Story short, thanks for writing and posting this. I and many others who get overlooked and undermined, (much like you have been, from what I've gathered) really need to see that we aren't alone all the time.
I've been forced to break myself in half so many times while people just watch with idle hands and observe me struggle because if I could do it yesterday or last week, there is no reason why I can't do it now as well.
Their silent validation was the prize for knowing that I could do it if I just pushed myself into the ground a little harder to meet their needs. It's not that difficult, right?
I am continually held hostage by the expectation that having the skills to do something is the same as always having the ability to access those skills.
Spoiler: they are not the same.
But I'm high-functioning, right? I just need to try harder. "🥰" /s
And fuck the fact that Autism is an invisible disability too, yes? /s
Never mind that the word invisible might be indicative of the fact that you will only ever see the calm surface of the water and not the shipwrecks below the surface.

BTW if you didn't know. It's disability pride month. Just thought I'd let you know. I'm disabled myself.
You are correct, fellow anon!
Happy disability pride month! ✨️
As an autistic, I consider myself disabled too.
I don't think I need to elaborate on as to why.
Disability Pride Month is about calling out & fighting back against the wide variety of ableism that we’re put through every single day. It’s about advocating for the rights we’re denied & calling out the abuse we’re forced to swallow, preferably in silence, so we're 'no bother'.
It is about recognizing that we are worthy just the way we are & that we are no less than any other abled person.
We deserve to live to the fullest capacity the world can provide us, yes the WORLD - you are NOT the problem & you NEVER were.
We deserve to choose what we want & what we need & advocate for ourselves.
Happy Pride.
Whether you're newly disabled or have been for a long time, you love your disability or hate it, you are visible disabled or not, you're grieving your old non-disabled life or have accepted & moved on.The list could go on, but I think you get it.
You are important.
I am glad you're here.
I wish you all the best. 💜

coming out
camilo comes out to his family as gay at dinner, and introduces you as his boyfriend. abuela has accepted that her family isnt perfect, but she isnt quite ready to give up this part of her want for a "perfect family".
or:
camilo just wants to be himself for once.

camilo x male (he/him) reader :)
3k words
warnings: homophobic abuela (i do just want to say, shes not like this or a bad person in canon, i just needed someone to get this fic to flow into the hurt/comfort.), one line of self harm (camilo punches his own thigh out of anger—it stops almost as soon as it starts), hurt/comfort
cross-posted on ao3!!

"camilo, your boyfriend's here!" isabela called from the door where you stood, smirk prominent in the tone of her voice.
you were invited for dinner by the madrigals, mainly because camilo asked if you could come. you'd been dating for a while now, but acted only like best friends in front of people to keep yourselves secret. dolores knew, who told only isabela. camilo was amazed at how well she was keeping quiet—though, he knew she would never out him to the whole family—she had morals.
camilo slid down the stairs, which had turned flat under his feet. he bumped isabelas arm hard when he made it to the door. "isabela! dios mío, what if someone heard you?" he said through clenched teeth. isabela only smiled and turned, walking away. camilo looked at you, then looked at isabela as she walked, "plus, its only funny if you can shape-shift."

guys i caved and i wrote an epilogue to my slimeknight fic because i was Very Normal About Them. i’m so normal i SWEAR
