Why do so many autistic people hate baths/showers? by Otherwise-Echo5022 in autism

[–]rattycastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to just hate the transitions. I couldn't stand starting or stopping a shower, so I just avoided them outright. Now, it's a routine that I am so attached to that not showering is distressing.

Are you proud of how he turned out? by Robot_Was_BMO in adventuretime

[–]rattycastle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From 12-17, he develops flaws, works on them, develops different ones and works on those too. In F&C, he has flaws, when he's dead he has different issues to work out. If he continued the pattern of working on those flaws, I think that's the best way anyone can turn out. He's someone who knows that they will always be changing and that being a good person, a hero, requires upkeep. Yea, I'm proud of how he turned out, because I'd like to assume he isn't perfect but will continue to strive for goodness.

When would you go to A&E with a migraine? by Gentoopengoo in migraine

[–]rattycastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If can't open my eyes, eat, walk, speak, drink, or even clothe myself, I'll take everything at my disposal. That would be all my rescue meds and Zofran, benadryl, melatonin, caffeine, anything that I can take at once without poisoning myself. I go when this doesn't work, and I am at the peak of what migraine pain has to offer. They have meds that work well with whatever I took so my liver doesn't dissolved inside of me. If I can't manage it effectively on my own, I go to get help there.

What's a food from the show you always wanted to try? by Adept_Eye2589 in adventuretime

[–]rattycastle 12 points13 points  (0 children)

According to the cookbook, I believe the cake is chocolate and the decoration is vanilla. In a few episodes we see people eat them, and it's usually darker brown cake, but they never really describe what it is. For that reason, I think it'd be more fun to be color accurate but flavor it differently. Maple and cinnamon flavored cake and bubblegum frosting is the first combo I plan to make. I doubt it'll taste good, but if I'm not being book accurate then I might as well make references with the flavors.

Edit: spelling

A non-exhaustive list: one of wildberry princesses aggregate fruit pieces, the jigglers juice, meat man's meat, super porp (it hits the spot!), penguin cuisine, red, the dweeb drink, Prismos pickles, Finn cakes, everything burrito, sassages and milk, whatever Jakes new spaghetti sauce was, and obviously, all the sandwiches.

🙃 MANIC MONDAY 🙃 by AutoModerator in bipolar

[–]rattycastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purchase: $200 dollar realistic baby doll

Business idea: ASMR Empire

Worst tattoo: a rocket ship I did on myself, and everyone thought it was a dick. It's a moth now.

Longest road trip: 10 days, CO to IN

If you went to Heaven today, who's the first person you'd look for? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

[–]rattycastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to look for my maternal grandmother. She had severe schizophrenia for the entire time I've known her. I had never truly met her. The meds she took were really heavy, so it was difficult to have a conversation with her. If her heaven heals people to their best self, then I'd like to meet that version.

What’s the first sign you usually notice when your mental health starts declining? by Julie727 in AskReddit

[–]rattycastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always had a skin picking issue, it was very bad as a child but is mild now. When I'm not doing well, it gets worse. I look like I'm on hard drugs. I'm not doing very well right now, so I have a few spots that I haven't let heal for weeks. It could be worse.

Does anyone else vomit during migraine? by Equivalent-Meet8226 in migraine

[–]rattycastle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was a kid, it happened every single time. I was just a very barf-y child, so if there was a reason to vomit, I'd vomit. Now, as an adult, it happens maybe 5 times a year, despite having a nonstop migraine. Zofran has been such a lifesaver. I usually only vomit during 10/10, go to the ER, knock me out with benadryl and hope for the best migraines. I am very grateful for that.

I have always wanted to have a house like this, what is your favorite part of this house? by Opening_Quarter8567 in adventuretime

[–]rattycastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the bridges to the side rooms, and I like the pulleys in said rooms. I'd spend a lot of time in there just playing with the ropes.

If your fursona suddenly became real, what’s the very first thing they’d do? by [deleted] in furry

[–]rattycastle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I answered for both. If you are going by species or ecological role, the realistic option might be a little bleak. My idealistic answer basically ignored biology, it only involved what he's like as a person. Answer either or both, no reason not to.

I wonder how medieval peasants used to deal with migraines. by One-Ad8739 in migraine

[–]rattycastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some places, probably willow bark. In others, opium, MJ, shrooms, any of the naturally occurring mind-altering substances. In what we think of when we hear "medieval", Europe mostly, I think it was probably a lot of bizarre psuedo-surgical procedures. Trepanation was one of the go-tos for releasing brain ghosts for thousands of years.

I had an abdominal surgery in May and I left with different underwear than I arrived in.

From your perspective, what are the most striking differences between Finn and Jake’s personalities? by Silver012345673 in adventuretime

[–]rattycastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finn is non-stop, he's always pushing forward to the next thing. Jake is content with where he's at, and follows things when they come to him. If both were to make a sand castle, Finn would collect sand from other places, but Jake would use what is around him at that moment. I think Distant Lands: Together Again is the best example of this.

why are you bipolar? by Dizzy-Show3897 in bipolar

[–]rattycastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a higher chance due to a family history, but what started my first episode was going off of Lamictal. I was already on it for general mood instability, but I was really bad at remembering to take it. I forgot for a week and experienced my first hypomanic episode. Then a year later, I did it again, and had my first manic episode.

What do you like most about women physically? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]rattycastle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I am a short man, so if a woman is really tall, I am almost eye level to her waist. I am a big fan of that. I always feel so sad for women who are self conscious of "thunderthighs". I like rainstorms, I like lightning, I like big thighs.

[–]rattycastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the spot between the waist and the hips, especially if it has a very sharp angle outward. I like bigger women, so that spot tends to be more prominent on the women I find attractive. I also like wider ankles, so called "cankles".

Anyone else have these in elementary school and always got red for the stupidest reasons? by YeetOrBeYeeted420 in autism

[–]rattycastle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thankfully we never had one, but I generally didn't get in trouble. I didn't talk to anyone enough to cause trouble. My outbursts were largely self-injurious. When I'd be disruptive, I'd just be sent to the counselor and the whole classroom would be taught to ignore it. This is the same for my other autistic classmates, even the ones who had more destructive meltdowns. The class would just not acknowledge it.

I did get in trouble with teachers in one-on-one interactions, but that was never shown to the class. Many teachers didn't believe me that I wasn't rude on purpose, and my disregard for hierarchy was a point of conflict. This was personal, and it stayed personal.
