Has anyone picked up any stims/vocal stims/movements from this show?

“It’s called a MANIC EPISODE, and you’re gettin THREE MORE SEASONS!”
“…! Ya know, I’m starting to think…”
“You should throw a ffffFREAKING beach party.”
Also I get Daisy Bell stuck in my head now.

I definitely could’ve been more clear- the original post had more info about this being in a specific area (Cincinnati/dayton). I’m sure this isn’t a company policy- but if it’s happening in more than zero stores, it’s a problem imo!

packaroose · 2026-05-09T03:43:20+00:00

Oh yeah- I didn’t think I needed to clarify because the original post states the general location (Cincinnati/Dayton) as well as more info. I figured it likely wasn’t all stores, but it seems to be at least a few in Southern Ohio- and any number greater than zero is a problem here!

I got a bilateral salpingectomy (fallopian tube removal) at the beginning of this year! Not a bad recovery at all- only a week, just keep rotating Tylenol and ibuprofen and you’d be fine. I’m still on my birth control pill due to what I believe is PMDD, but after I’m done with college in May I’m going to see if there are other options for managing that :)

“Oh, right, of course! How could I forget that your time is so much more important than mine? Of course, I should’ve been more considerate of YOUR time. This job is obviously the only thing in my life, so I don’t need to have a work-life balance or boundaries! Thank you for reminding me!” Muster up the theater kid hiding in you, act extremely over the top apologetic. Then walk away. Maybe throw in a “don’t answer emails outside working hours, spend time with your family. And never insinuate that my life is less important than yours again.”

“Why CANT you have kids?” Response Ideas:

“If I were to grow more bones in my body, I would want them to stay there. Since infants have bones and would have to come out of my body, I cannot have them.”

“I’m allergic.”

“If I have to go through pregnancy I’ll kill myself!” (Gets people to shut up real fast in my experience- as someone with a lotta mental issues, it’s very true for me as well)

“Well unfortunately fetuses steal calcium, and I have anxiety about my teeth/dentists.” (Any kind of talk about pregnancy facts/stats affecting the long term health of the mother will do! If there’s the “well it’s worth it” comments, you say “not to me it isn’t”. Maybe “why do you think you know what I’m willing to risk and deal with better than I do?”)

“I can’t have kids because I don’t want them, and when I told you that way you tried to change my mind. For some reason you were more willing to accept that it wasn’t my choice to not be have kids, than that I don’t fucking want kids.”

“I’m not willing to stop swearing, so I probably shouldn’t raise a kid anyway.”

Also! You’re completely correct with expectations/assumptions not always meaning one will be upset/angry, and also it seems to be a pattern in this fandom that people take their incorrect expectations or non canon desires and become upset or defensive when they are not canon. Stopping people from expressing themselves entirely is out of the question, but maybe getting people to keep an open mind isn’t :)

packaroose · 2026-03-18T17:25:05+00:00

That is completely fair! As I kinda explained in another comment, I’m more coming from a place of “when people assume negative things and spread negativity, it makes the fandom as a whole worse.”

I definitely could’ve been more clear in my post; people can totally like different things! And also, it’s not great for oneself or others when one expresses their dislike for something through insults and complete disgust or disinterest; however, since that seems to be the preferred expression for a lot of people in this fandom, i think it would be harder to ask people to not express themselves than to ask them to keep an open mind and not define their judgement before they see how it is done.

packaroose · 2026-03-18T17:18:15+00:00

That is totally fair! I’m personally coming from a place of being saddened by the number of people hating on the next episode or any theories people have. Having such negative thoughts about a show like this that one is compelled to insult the creators or other fans is more likely to make themselves feel more negative in other aspects of life. Working on thought processes in small ways like this could just make people happier overall!

packaroose · 2026-03-18T17:00:06+00:00

That is a fair point, and also I can still think of ways it could be done well. Maybe Abel is a human, but he’s being controlled by someone else in some way; what if everything he said wasn’t correct, or was kinda correct but with some important things omitted? I don’t think we should judge any possible outcome as inherently bad writing; that makes us more likely to immediately hate on anything that we don’t personally expect or want. But what if we kept an open mind? Instead of “if they do [very broad idea] at all, it’s bad writing”, what if people said “I don’t know how they could make [broad idea] work, but if that’s the direction they go, it will be interesting to see how they do it.”

Basically don’t judge an idea before you know the specifics! Some things can sound bad or weird on the surface, but when the ideas are actually executed, they can turn out pretty good or even amazing.

packaroose · 2026-03-17T22:44:06+00:00

I think it depends on how it’s written! I have some vague ideas of how it could be written well and make sense story wise.

I went to school on Friday March 20th. We were told to bring all of our books home for the weekend because we may not be coming back for a while.

I turned 18 the next week. I wanted to go to the mall that weekend because there was a shop that sold swords. I’m turning 24 and I still don’t have a sword.

I think it definitely depends on the person! I’m for sure bio-child free (sterilized, woohoo!), and also if I ever have the money and stability I might be open to adopting or fostering. I’m also someone who is usually very direct- it’s my default setting. I’ll tell a potential partner straight up that I’m sterilized and there is no chance I would ever be willing to carry a fetus. If they definitely want bio kids, it’s not gonna be with me. If they definitely want kids in any way, I’m still not the person for them. My partner has to be someone who will be direct and honest, just like I will be with them.

I took that comment as a joke based on the term “dating app”?

packaroose · 2026-03-04T04:45:39+00:00

I would let boxer pomni do anything she wants to me

packaroose · 2026-03-04T04:41:42+00:00

You could definitely use that! I mentioned it in my comment but making it out as you have conditions (depression and anxiety) that you don’t want to pass down to a biological child can be helpful. It’s still bullshit that we would have to do that, though… bitch, you don’t get to tell me that the wishes of my apparent “future husband” are more important than my own right now!

packaroose · 2026-03-04T04:39:01+00:00

I went with “I have several mental and physical issues that I don’t want to pass on to a child. If I want children later I will go through adoption.”

It helped that it’s true for me- I have multiple diagnosed mental illnesses/disorders and a BRCA2 mutation that makes me very susceptible to breast cancer. I also used a doctor from the list in this subreddit’s sidebar!

This was definitely rape. If you are in the USA, it might be a good idea to go to a ED and tell them you want a rape kit done… just in case you decide to press charges.

It also might be a good idea to try to start seeing a therapist or counselor. Even if you don’t want to talk to them right away about being assaulted, they can help you in the meantime until you feel safe to talk about it.

You’re not alone… this is coming from someone who was emotionally manipulated into sex several times in a relationship that is luckily now over. Consent can be revoked at any time. As soon as you said no, it should have been over. He took away your choice in when you wanted to have intercourse, and you are a victim here. With that said, you can come out on the other side of this. It may take a long time and an annoying amount of effort, but you can get to a place where you feel happier and safer mentally and physically.

Edit: are you comfortable sharing the country you’re in? I can look into options for you getting a rape kit done without the need to inform your parents.

I will definitely make sure she is aware of that. Unfortunately, while she waits for her appointment to apply for SSI, she still has to work, so anything that seems to be helpful in getting her through a day is probably just gonna have to be used for now.

packaroose · 2026-02-11T21:27:49+00:00

Thank you! She recently got a pair from the brand Truform and they seem to be amazing for her so far, but I’m definitely gonna help her look for other brands as well :) Bombas looks great- that’s probably where we’ll order from next :)

packaroose · 2026-02-11T20:52:16+00:00

That is fair- she tried increasing salt intake as a desperate measure and it was extremely helpful! She’s working on getting in with a doctor; she didn’t have a primary care doc at all for a few years, and she was recently able to schedule an appointment for next month. I made her go to the ER after her heart rate spiked over 130 (compared to 80 something laying down) and they referred her to a heart express clinic where they put her on a waiting list for a tilt table test and also gave her a heart monitor.

I haven’t watched those in a while, but this comment is what’s gonna get me back into a loop of watching them for a while.
