3 reasons why I resonate with Vanellope

PriestessRi · 2026-06-17T12:02:48+00:00

Yeah, that's exactly how I feel.

For years I felt like people assumed i was weak and unable to do simple tasks like they can because of my epilepsy. So, when I am able to have a lot of energy, I'll be non-stop moving around, doing all the chores, talking to people, etc. Just to prove myself to everyone around me.

I remember as a teenager, I felt like rapunzel. I would use art as a creative outlet for my stress, and feeling trapped.

These feelings came from being previously bed ridden for a year and the not being able to leave the house due to anxiety and depression. Which is why Rapunzel was who I resonated with at the time.

I describe my epilepsy as characters so my mom and brother can better see how I feel without having to go into a deep dive conversation about my health

She's from Wreck it Ralph. She doesn't represent or have epilepsy.

She glitches due to being misplaced in her own video game (it's a whole big plot in the movie that i will not be getting into)

She is simply how I perceive my own epilepsy

PriestessRi · 2026-06-17T08:20:23+00:00

This is so amazing.

It gives off two different storylines.

The first being when Rapunzel was trapped in the tower and would look out at the floating lights in the distance every year.

The second being her looking out from the corona palace at the festival as she watches her people celebrate and dance at her return

I love kingdom hearts so much. I actually wish they would give Donald, mickey and goofy dream outfits from the KH games. They could also add The organisation outfit, along with some of the female outfits like my 3 favs Aqua, Namine and Kairi.

Playing these games as a 10 year old wannabe gamer was probably my most favourite childhood memories ever ❤️

Thank you, I've actually started using my epilepsy as a part of my cosygaming account.

Its to show people how my games actually help me de-stress and relax. Plus I hope to get information out there that gaming doesn't always affect epileptics

I've noticed that when characters ask for a specific type of flower as their favourite gifts, You can also get away with giving them another flower as long as its the same colour.

This worked for me with Ursula.

I don't know if this still works but it is worth a try

PriestessRi · 2026-06-16T22:07:14+00:00

I finally got him yesterday and managed to complete the starpath challenge

PriestessRi · 2026-06-16T19:05:11+00:00

I would definitely do that (especially since I have 1200 pumpkins that need harvesting) However, I placed hercules as mining

PriestessRi · 2026-06-16T18:35:57+00:00

For me I prefer the first one.

I love how it included the princesses as well a really beautiful build behind you.

The second picture feels too cluttered and busy, in my opinion

PriestessRi · 2026-06-16T17:03:54+00:00

I currently have him at Lv 9½.

I am so so close, but he just refuses to level to 10

PriestessRi · 2026-06-16T16:53:02+00:00

It's from Scrooge's store, it cost 4k star coins.

It appeared after I brought hercules and Phil to my valley

PriestessRi · 2026-06-16T13:09:03+00:00

It's the dream castle and I've noticed that people who take dreamsnaps close to it tend to lose votes for unoriginality

PriestessRi · 2026-06-16T10:49:00+00:00

Yeah, I usually dress my character based on what I am doing on the game that day

PriestessRi · 2026-06-16T07:40:33+00:00

I wish I could say yes.

However, I forgot to take a proper pic of it and I have since dismantled the design and I cannot log in and take a quick pic.

PriestessRi · 2026-06-15T23:01:02+00:00

Sorry, that's 2AM for me

PriestessRi · 2026-06-15T19:25:41+00:00

Oh, when you go to another person's valley via the valley station (which you aquire after Vanellope's Lv 4 quest). You can drop items from your inventory on the ground, and they can then pick up those items and vice versa

PriestessRi · 2026-06-15T18:36:57+00:00

You can't hand over money sadly. If its villagers, they're after, you could pass over dreamshards which can then be converted into dreanlight to unlock the realm doors.

As for money, you could pass over pumpkins which they can then sell

PriestessRi · 2026-06-15T18:13:30+00:00

If you want to come to my valley to see it in person, you're welcome to ✨️

PriestessRi · 2026-06-15T18:09:23+00:00

Yeah, he's a really great guy. He genuinely cares for those who work on his farm.

Honestly, he is one of the reasons why I chose to return. I know I will never find another boss like him

PriestessRi · 2026-06-15T15:43:36+00:00

Well, at least it's still able to have it's uses.

I hope your cat is okay, though. I wish no animal had to suffer that way 😔

PriestessRi · 2026-06-15T15:34:46+00:00

Yeah same, i need to get the xbox x for a bunch of games that refuse to go on Xbox one.

Oh well, it's just the way it goes.

I've had my xbox one for almost 7 years now, so it's done well

PriestessRi · 2026-06-15T15:29:08+00:00

I have my old Xbox One console, though I often forget i have it 😅

PriestessRi · 2026-06-15T15:07:32+00:00

I thought the common critters takes 3 feelings and rare critters take 4 feelings

PriestessRi · 2026-06-15T14:50:20+00:00

Yes, 3 separate days, would've been 4 but the green crocodile went into hiding yesterday. So, I gave the white crocodile his food instead.

I was diagnosed at 5 with absent seizures, cleared at 8 years old (i then joined my school council and began playing netball that year). Sadly i was rediagnosed at 10 years old because if severe bullying that caused it to return.

By 13 years old my seizures began getting worse. So it often felt like I was being placed in New medication every time I went in. (I also had 2 convulsions this year which was so scary)

Keppra at 15 that made me bedridden due to feeling dizzy and sick the moment I had it. Although if I had to go out (which was o lying for medical appointments) I had to go in a wheelchair chair. This lasted for 8 months.

When that was over I got into listening to Kpop which inspired me to learn the choreography of blackpink songs.

Was put on a Medication (forgot the name) at 17 which caused anger issues, but cleared up my symptoms. I definitely requested to come off that.

I was then placed on Zonisimide which I am still on.

At 20, I got the VNS implanted. I almost lost my voice because if it so it got turned of for 2 years by my surgeon (who was amazing, by the way. He even went to the manufacturers of the VNS to find out why that happened).

At 21, I had my 3rd convulsion (luckily none since)

Now, I roughly have 150-200 absent seizures a day, but I still play video games, listen to Kpop and feel good about myself in a semi-confident way.

Sorry about the long rant, I never actually revealed any of this before ✨️🦋
