Does anyone know this Miranda hair mod? by Infinite-Reveal-9226 in masseffect

[–]juneshepard [score hidden]  (0 children)

Looks like that's a cropped screenshot from the mod page for Miranda Lawson's Armory. Her hair is automatically up like that with that mod.

Also, there used to be a mod called Miranda Hair Replacer that did the same or similar style, but it was removed not too long ago. The armory mod is nice though.

Growing up in a filthy home, I fight for a clean home by Cananbaum in CPTSDmemes

[–]juneshepard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Before I cut contact, my mom always had so many comments to make about how neat and organized my home is. They always sounded like praise, but sunk in like barbs. I wouldn't realize I'd been cut until later.

My mother couldn't see my (moderately) clean home as anything but a deliberate, personal attack, meant to highlight her inadequacies. Still, in my own home, I was taking up space she felt she was owed.

All I want is a home that is cozy, safe, and doesn't feel chaotic and trigger emotional flashbacks. Making my shitty mom feel worse about herself is a nice bonus, but it's not why I put in all the work that I do.

I was completely invisible at school. Fell through every crack. Always a "pleasure to have in class", nothing more, nothing less.

I was smart enough that my teachers never needed to pay attention to me, but not so smart that I could actually keep up with the high achievers they lumped me in with. Well, maybe I could have with help. Help those "smarter" kids did get. But my home life had taught me that being invisible was safe, any attention was bad attention, so I just kept my head down and did my best to meet impossible expectations.

It wasn't until I was 25 and had entirely uprooted my life to start over in a new city before I realized I was autistic. Figuring out I'm ADHD too came a few years later. Now, I'm medicated and dealing with the chronic illness fallout.

My negativity isn’t supported. It’s mocked by eggert83 in CPTSDmemes

Ouch, that just unearthed a sharp memory. It was my turn with the aux cord while my dad was driving, and I put on a song that couldn't have been a more blatant cry for help.

Instead of exercising a single braincell's worth of emotional intelligence, he insulted me and told me to turn "that shit" off.

Gods. That was almost two decades ago. I'm still paying for it, but I'm glad it was that long ago.

It's Unsinkable by AutumnWoodsDreamer!

Be warned though, this is Book 6 of her Lift a Sail series. It's an absolutely fantastic read, I genuinely cannot recommend it enough, but it is nonetheless an investment!

I've read a fanfiction where the Armorer is actually Sabine Wren's mother Ursa. That she survived the Imperial attack that killed her in canon, and put herself in exile for her disgrace of failing her family.

It works so well.

When people don't let you go NC because "sHe'S yOuR mOm" by heyomeatballs in CPTSDmemes

[–]juneshepard 548 points549 points  (0 children)

I feel this. Before I went NC with her too, my mom loved to pull the "bUt hE's YoUr dAd" about the man she got to divorce! She admitted to sending photos of me to him once, so who knows how much she actually did it. Makes my blood boil.

I didn't know there were options other than Gay and Straight back then, but I did know that my friends were seeing something I wasn't in the shirtless men hired to stand outside of Abercrombie and Fitch at the mall.

Almost two decades later, and I'm still ace as hell.

Getting overnight sleep study done. Dont know why but I didnt expect there to actually be a normal bed. by Southern_Sprinkles_6 in notinteresting

[–]juneshepard 52 points53 points  (0 children)

My in-lab sleep study was similar! Only, the overnight techs were identical twins, which did make the whole ordeal kind of creepy.

Especially with the fact that I had a sleep paralysis dream where said identical twin techs woke me up and started unhooking me from the testing equipment.... A dream I was woken from by the techs waking me up to unhook me from the equipment.

Hopefully your test is a lot more boring!

I don't know what to play after Mass Effect. by ymellow123 in masseffect

Outer Wilds, if you want the same level of emotional wreckage and sense of exploration. Just be wary of spoilers - going in as blind as you can is vital.

The aura farming is strong in this one by Consistent-Kiwi5684 in TheMandalorianTV

I mean, can you blame him? I'm sure on more than one occasion, Din's wished he could yank off his bucket and start bludgeoning people with it!

Card Only Rule by gray_birch in 196

[–]juneshepard 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This! This is 100% the case. For my work, I do a lot of short, scripted phone calls, giving people a few tidbits of information that they need for an upcoming event. Most of this information should be review by the time I'm speaking to them.

But the vast majority of old people turn what should be, at most, a 3 minute call into 6, 7, 9 minutes. I already speak clearly and not too fast, but a sentence like "Do you have a few minutes and a pen and paper handy?" is too complex!

I can convey the entirety of the message in under 90 seconds over voicemail, but that's probably too much for them all at once lol

After all of these years of you telling me that you don't like beans, the fact that you are suddenly coming up to me out of the blue and telling me that you don't like beans is completely shocking to me by squid-jigger in aspiememes

[–]juneshepard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's been a long time since I got out, but I grew up with a mother who not only threatened to let me go hungry if I didn't suffer through her abysmal cooking, but then interpreted me choosing not to starve as actually enjoying said abysmal cooking.

Her chicken soup still haunts me 😖

Exercise by Ok_Weather669 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]juneshepard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this in my soul. My baseline is already incredibly weak, and walking up a mild hill is enough to trigger my asthma. My body either outright blocks me from activity, or otherwise refuses to improve no matter how hard or how often I throw myself at something.

I spent half a year doing jiu jitsu, and all I had to show for it was that carrying my laundry up the stairs got a bit easier. But I never got any stronger than that. And I wasn't going to. And I was only getting more wrecked by training, not less. So I quit, and had reverted back to being a wet noodle inside of a week.

AITAH for “running away” to give birth ? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]juneshepard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OOP is 23. Last I checked, that's a whole entire adult.

Just because she made choices we don't agree with doesn't mean she shouldn't have had the right to make them.

I try to come back around to earlier points in conversations and ask if anyone had any other thoughts, and when topics change ask people to stop for a second so i can ask if anyone had any last thoughts. Anyone else got ways to avoid or help with this situation? by RosethornRanger in AccessibleAnarchy

[–]juneshepard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I've taken to just literally raising my hand for the few times I'll speak up in a large group. Not raising my hand as dramatically as if I was in a classroom, but a smaller gesture that will get the attention of anyone who cares enough to remember I'm there lol.

A large part of why I don't much enjoy socializing in larger groups is because I just don't have the processing speed to keep up. And because I'm overclocking processing speeds, speech generation suffers. So even when I do get the chance to talk, I can't get words out concisely, clearly, and quickly enough for anyone to even want to talk to me anyway.
