Maybe I’m not destined for anything at all. Maybe the high school honours didn’t mean anything in the first place and maybe that’s okay. Maybe it’s okay to just focus on being a person. Maybe that’s enough.

one more thing about kristen o'neal's werewolves, can i just applaud her for making a unique werewolf transformation. there are basically no other shifts i can think of that involve teeth-based body horror. like. WHAT!
the number of times that horrifying amounts of random teeth are mentioned is so gross!! brigid having a giant slurpee cup of teeth in her bedroom???? the "tooth paste"??? brigid being born with a full set of teeth???? her having to spit them out every shift????? horrible! gnarly! i love it!!!
#also makes me wonder the specifics of that. like. does bridge just never have to worry about dental care?#sidenote i have WAYYYYYY more stomache for body horror in literature than i do in movies. i can actually appreciate it#teeth#odontophobia#body horror#ask to tag cuz im unsure exactly how to cw this..#ramblings#lycanthropy and other chronic illnesses

Currently rereading Lycanthropy and Other Chronic Illnesses because I’m disabled and also have a love of werewolves and this book is perfect and combines the two and all I want to know is...
Where’s my small friendly discord server for disabled peeps that’s made up of fellow tumblr users? Huh?
@kristenoneal where is it? This is such a good book and it amazes me that we don’t have one yet.
By the way, you’re an awesome author and I can’t wait to own this book personally so I won’t be sad when the library due date comes up.

I had a dream last night that I was a wizard and went to a boot camp to learn magic, except I wasn't very good at it and it hurt every time I tried to cast spells so I just pretended that my wand was broken and I couldn't get a new one yet.
Except I think it was an allegory for chronic pain because I went to a bunch of wand makers to appease my instructor and each one said that my wand was fine. Nothing wrong at all.
Which I also thought must be true because I had made up the faulty wand schtick in the first place, right?
I did eventually find a wand that didn't hurt to use, though, without the help of the instructors and wand experts. It didn't make me any better at magic, but the lack of pain was enough to let me practice this thing I wanted so badly to be good at and let myself enjoy the spellcasting that others took for granted.
#dream#could be an excellent story#in line with#lycanthropy and other chronic illnesses#might write it someday when im not focused on 4 other projects#writblr#writeblr#chronic pain.#chronic illness

Lycanthropy and Other Chronic Illnesses is a masterwork so far, I'm really hoping it lives up to this beginning!

Its so fascinating how the public perception of stigmatized illnesses and disorders affects werewolf mythology. The idea that the human persona of the werewolf was an equal victim of the wolf has always existed, however, acknowledging the possibility of the werewolf’s complete safety through tailoring a safe environment is an idea recently circulating pop culture directly reflective of our evolving understanding of certain diagnoses. Lycanthropy is commonly likened in fiction to aids or menstrual disorders, but a resemblance to cluster b personality disorders is also fascinating. It’s all fascinating.

chaos in the form of me tlaking bout lycanthropy and chronic illness -----------------------------------
LYCANTHROPY AND CHRONIC ILLNESS MAN WAS IT A VIBE
FRIEDNSHIP
DISCORD / SOCIAL MEDIA DONE WELL
LIKE PEOPLE SPEAKING TAMIL (thatsme thatsme thatsme thatsme thatsme thatsme)
anyway Onto the Review
Spice Level: 0 -
Intial Rating: 4.5/5 stars
If I were to ever reccomend anyone a friendshippy book - this would be on my list. thats a compliment. this book has soemthing that ive been looking in a book for a long time - lrealness mixed in with the almost realness werewolves and the main character not being white not really a massive OMG LETS EXPLAIN MY CULTURE THING but it being normal bc it is -
this is really chaotic soz
But for real this book - meade me feel things and made me feel things in a good way. They way they portrayed Brigid and Priya’s relationship - Priya’s struggles with her illness they all felt true and things thhat could happen to somebody. Brigid and Priya felt like actual freiends who would die for one another and were able to survive through the bad and the good parts of their relationship and be able to forge a connection that could only come from crazy moments where everything felt like you had found molten marbeled swirls of lava and all you want to do is hide away formt he pain but you have to face it. the lava cools and you can see the traces of it forever more but you have learned you are better people bc of it .
this book is now a comfort read now and im glad to be alive to see it
P.S Priya is Sri Lankan and you cannot stop me

I'm reading Lycanthropy and Other Chronic Illnesses by Kristen O'Neal and the MC is talking about how it seems impossible to be able to make it through med school or residency or the actual job of being a doctor with her Chronic Lyme Disease, and like yeah. Med school, and all college really, is super inaccessible and working within that system while disabled does sound super daunting. But also, the added layer of being a doctor while chronically ill with a disease most doctors don't believe is real sounds like an extra layer of hell

Having a body is overrated. 2/10, would like to become a ghost, specter or phantasm
Ok but seriously why am I Brigid? 😂
Her whole existence is just such a mood
