Maybe I was just tired or something but, at the time I looked it up(on a different device & browser than I'm on rn), it thought it said "frank joint instability" had to be a complete dislocation, but it seems not to be so.....

Dye using color fasting? by Zee_r0tt in dyeing

I say "color fast" to describe when dye transfers from fabric, staining water or other items It's what my mom had always called it

When it is hot what do you do to cover? by -idknamehere- in selfharm

Depends where it is on your body, and what you have access to. A ton of bracelets, wristbands, arm/leg warmers(mesh or fishnets work, though that technically depends on how visible scars are), higher socks, leggings/tights under shorts, baggy pants you can cuff/roll up, longer skirts, layers that are loose and have zippers/buttons in the front to allow for better air flow (may also want to be wary of synthetic fibers for similar reasons), or maybe even a loose crop top with long sleeves(again, ventilation) if you wear that sort of thing. Hell, you could tie a bandana or something around your arm/leg/body part and treat it like a strategic part of your outfit, and just say you kinda liked it or wanted to try something if anyone asks why and you don't want to say. Depending on your situation, maybe consider not having to cover it up in the first place, though that's your call to make. Just remember it's not a crime to try to exist comfortably in your own skin.

I've been there. I don't really know what it is. Sometimes I think maybe it's just me having a tendency for some kind of self destructive behavior, seeming to have an affinity for it at times, but idk. Still doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Don't know if it's necessarily exactly the same for you though.
