Community Munchausen's by Internet (Malingerers, Munchies, Spoonies, etc) - Feigning Illnesses for Attention

[std::string]

Primarily that. However, for the ones who do legitimately fuck themselves up pretty good, the problem is often that once the novelty wears off it's still not enough, and they wind up chasing the dragon again.

Yeah, there's definitely a deep abyss to munching that a lot of the ones featured in this thread don't go down.

It's fairly easy to understand why those ones munch out. You go as far as you need to in order to get your diagnoses, get some drugs, have a flare-up whenever it's convenient. For example, Cherie's whole IG where she was either in a vacation halfway across the world drinking and having a good time or in the hospital dying. Nobody wants to be the asshole that says you're faking ME/CFS or whatever imagined monkey is clinging to your back so you get a pass.

Robbing yourself of autonomy in order to blame all your failures on external forces is in vogue these days anyway. They just took the medical route.

Now you look at people like Kelly and that's some bad juju. That's a way worse pathology that I suppose involves a lot of self-loathing instead of seeking asspats on the internet.

Elective unnecessary anti-aging procedure can have complications? Shocking!

This comment gives more "weird unfortunate adverse effect" vibes than munching. Quick glance of her profile makes it seem like this is the least of her worries. Girl is obsessed with aging, physical appearance, plastic surgery and how men perceive her. Future munchie potential when the attention due to good looks fades and she starts getting it from other sources. Maybe a botched plastic surgery attention seeking arc?
P.S. Anyone who tells a 23 year old she needs preventative botox is a zero-morals, money grabbing grifter.

Eh. It's on skincareaddiction and that subreddit has a burning hatred of botox because they can't afford it. Any time anyone recommends botox as a legitimate option chucklefucks like this can't help but say how dangerous and awful it is while also making it obvious they know nothing about it ("you'll look so puffy!!")

Botox is definitely a four letter word in that subreddit.

She says "my injector" instead of "the doctor" or "the nurse" so lol no.

 

[BelUwUga]

Painkillers are a secondary motive IMO but malingering for opiates because you like opiates vs. munching for opiates because it feeds into the sense of legitimacy can't always be separated into distinct motives.

I think looking at it like this might oversimplify it a bit. Opiates are going to feel great whether they acknowledge it feeding into their legitimacy or not. That's a set up for a horrifying conditioning system. Run-of-the-mill munching won't feel quite the same. Even the strongest fentanyl would do nothing to sate their craving for attention. So they become even worse monsters with an intertwined physical addiction to match their metaphorical one.

Not to derail, but is this a regional thing? I don't partake cos I'm scared of nerve damage and I really love frowning, but my (fancy) salon does Botox for about the same price as their bougie cut-and-colour. Which is coincidentally a similar price to an average r/skincareaddiction recommended regimen...

A dermatologist friend once told me of a saying that she found to be very true:
"Good botox is never cheap, and cheap botox is never good".
Ditto fillers.

I would never, ever go to a salon for Botox. It's a medical procedure.

I doubt it's the case if that's her profile (she probably shopped until she found someone that fed her insecurity complex), but botox has plenty of medical uses, like preventing migraines, alleviating nerve pain, etc.

She sounds like she's been staring and dissociating at a mirror convinced her eyes are swelling, and it's more dysmorphia than munching. she bought some gimmick drops for a fake condition. Not that it can't easily evolve to munching, there's definitely massive overlap.

I've been working on this one for a while with my Nordic lurker friend you know who you are. This person is why Bee suddenly started being all about sign language. She started tagging this best friend of the moment a few weeks ago and when we saw this we were intrigued and had to know more.
This is Drewy Novaclara Curious.

(Drewy claims right leg paralysis by the way)


A little digging revealed this before picture from 2018 and that the person who took this photo; pilotavery, was this now polyamorous pansexual faketarded enby's ex husband and erstwhile service human. Gender. Not even once.

Note the tags. Aspie implying a mild level of autism. And disabled actress, deaf model. This is right at the start of her attempt to launch herself as a disabled model and actress but she's been trying to build a following online since she was a kid. These tags are what she wants to be not what she is.

Pilotavery is the husband. A deaf young autistic man obsessed with becoming a pilot. His reddit makes for sad reading. But we will get to that.
This is long and complicated tale. Drewy is a highly unreliable narrator and its taken us weeks to work out which bits were true and which were made up.

~~~~~~~~~~Flashback wiggly lines ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Young drewy has a pretty nice life as far as we can see.
Barbados

Enough Disney to have a favourite ride

Basic middle class girl stuff



Gymnastics (notable for claims of naturally occurring hypermobility later)



2013 is the first evidence of Drewy trying to build herself a brand online but its not the last attempt.


She starts curating her profile in a sort of le random epic penguin XD style


She does a relaunch as a very 2000s aesthetic/model profile

And then things start to get interesting.
Despite there being nothing to suggest anything other than a happy and privileged childhood, Drewys reddit account claims abuse.



Some other bits from drewys reddit (she is verysmart and verydramatic)

Note posting in r/aspergers. A diagnosis of aspergers (although the term is no longer used it still was when drewy was a kid) expressly precludes being nonverbal.



So what we think happens at this point is that Drewy, traumatised by too much Disney and arizona iced tea and mom getting rid of her Teddy bear moves in with the family of her boyfriend Avery, who is training to become a pilot and will be able to keep her in the manner to which she's accustomed.
Drewy and Avery are both deaf but well corrected with hearing aids. Drewy does not learn ASL until her teens. Drewy may have mild autism. Avery is autistic.
Drewy then begins the modelling instagram account at the height of peak tumblr with a slew of minority identity claims as is customary at the time.
She also claims to be multilingual and fluent in multiple languages but also nonverbal autistic.

I'm not knocking duolingo, it's a great app and I use it myself but i think it's safe to say Drewy tends to be grandiose and overstate her achievements somewhat. She's duolingo fluent.

I can find no evidence of her being Mexican or cherokee. Her real surname is Puccini. Drewy is a childhood nickname a teacher gave her and she says in a tiktok her parents gave her a generic girl name. Her dead name eludes me but if anyone is up for a doxing challenge I'll happily pm you everything we have. It could be staring us in the face. Drewy could be Julie in a deaf accent.




I'll go into the nonverbal claim a bit more in the next part but there is SO much in this story I just want to hit save on the first part so I've introduced you all to drewy and then we can hit up part two...The Stroke that Never Was.

Love it, love it, love it. I remember you speaking of this one. She has always hit a sore spot with me. She's not even deaf. Something about her just bothers me. A dox would be the icing on the shit cake though. Good work Tree! I cannot wait for the next installment. My only hope is that she surreptitiously becomes aware of her newfound notoriety and graces us with her spergy presence. Please keep it coming, I'll be on the edge of my seat waiting!

 

[Dragged Into Sunlight]

I worked with autistic kids for years and stimming looks nothing like anything these retards do. And it was also not common at all, even in the more severely disabled ones. Oh, and almost none of them care about social media and the couple that do post things like a new picture of Thomas the Tank Engine every day, not selfies.

So fucking infuriating. Munchies are the one group I legitimately get mad at the internet over and wish would all end up like Jacqui.

 

[A tree]

@UncommonParlence she actually is deaf. We thought for ages she was faking and had stolen deaf off her ex husband but we have found footage of her as a child wearing a hearing aid.
Her hearing is well corrected and she isn't profoundly deaf. She didn't learn to sign until her teens (possibly when she met Avery) and she did speak as a kid but I'll get into that when I do part 2.

Actually no I won't. I'll edit it into this post.
Here's the real reason Drewy doesn't speak out loud. She was bullied about her deaf accent. This is absolutely valid but it is not the same as level 2 nonverbal autism.

"Autistic people may have difficulty talking to or carrying on a conversation with another person, but those who are nonspeaking do not speak at all.

There are several reasons for this. It may be because they have apraxia of speech, a disorder that affects certain brain pathways. It can interfere with a person’s ability to say what they want correctly.

It may also be because they have not developed verbal communication skills. Some children may lose verbal skills as symptoms of the condition worsen and become more noticeable.

Some autistic kids may also have echolalia, which causes them to repeat words or phrases over and over. It can make communication difficult."

What You Need to Know About Nonspeaking Autism

Many autistic people are minimally verbal or can't speak at all. Get the facts on symptoms, causes, diagnosis, how to find help, and more.

Here's teenage drewy signing and mouthing words. We can see she does not meet any of these criteria of nonverbal autism. Her language development is clearly normal. She is mouthing words and signing which is a common way for deaf people to communicate. There is no sound on the video but it is likely she was speaking aloud in some way.
Grownup drewy is an insufferable Deaf Activist because of course she is.


Although describing herself as profoundly deaf in that other tiktok just now this caused trach munchie Rose to call Drewy out on why she wears headphones. Drewy then admits she can actually hear and uses them to block background noise. Which again is valid. But Drewy is not averse to massaging the truth. Aspergers and hearing impaired becomes level 2 nonverbal or "semiverbal" autism (not a real thing) and profoundly deaf. You can see a pattern emerging.

Drewy NovaClara Curious: Partially Verbal and Abundantly Confident - Avaz Inc.

In this guest blog, Avaz AAC user Drewy shares their experiences with AAC and their endeavours towards encouraging inclusion and acceptance.

www.avazapp.com

Here she is after she gets "signed" misrepresenting herself on the website of an AAC app.


Oh and one more thing. About being a moggle and actress..


(I promise I did other searches I'm not just dunking on her). nuffin under acting.



And 3 "model" pics from the same poorly researched article. Not from an actual shoot but a filler piece about the aspiring moggle tragically cut down by a stroke in her 20s with zero risk factors or identified cause......more in part 2 proper. This was part 1.5.

It named itself Drewy Nova Clara Curious?
That tells me everything I need to know before exploring the munching.

Drewynovaclara part 2
The Stroke that Never Was and The Cuckening of Pilotavery.

We left drewy living with Avery and trying to launch as a disabled model. She wasn't getting much traction, presumably because she didn't have any visible disabilities.

But something happened to change all that. Drewy later appears in a number of newspaper articles, all citing her as the only source
.

Woman's stroke symptoms were dismissed as anxiety

Drewy NovaClara Curious, now 23, of Toronto, started feeling numb while driving with her husband Avery in June last year. She was eventually diagnosed with ischaemic stroke.

www.dailymail.co.uk

https://www.stromies.com/blog/guest-blog-drewy-novaclara-curious

https://www.google.com/amp/s/mediadrumworld.com/2019/08/21/too-young-to-have-a-stroke/%3famp=1

To understand what the issue is here we need to understand the golden window for diagnosing ischaemic Stroke

By Drewy's own admission she never had any actual testing done. We only have her word for it that the second hospital diagnosed her at all.
Her symtoms don't even sound like a stroke to me or the medfags Ive discussed this with privately.
She claims she already knew she was having a stroke before she even got there but several medical staff at hospital one lied and wrote on her medical records that she was ambulatory and not paralysed when she walked in and out of the hospital so she cannot sue them for their terrible negligence which has robbed her of her mobility.
There doesnt seem to be any rehab, PT, OT or even a hospital admission. No posts at the time about the incident at all. She just seamlessly transitions to #wheelchairmodel and doesnt even start hashtagging stroke until 2019.
First pic after the stroke supposedly newly paralysed, right arm and right leg. If any of your loved ones has even had a mild stroke-like event you'll be smelling a large rat by now.

If you read the Stromies blog story above Drewy has missed the golden window by the time they get to hospital 2 so other conditions cannot be ruled out and she has never had a scan. She never does take legal action against hospital one. She does however get ALL the mobility gear, in increasingly ridiculous combinations. And locks down that service human with a quickie wedding



You'll notice we don't see a lot of avery on her social media. He is great as a personal photographer and wheelchair pusher but he really does not fit the aesthetic.

Avery is going to get very very cucked.

So right after the stroke here are some posts as Drewy recuperates and settles into her new life as a paralysed person


Right arm right leg paralysis. Even accounting for some of these images being flipped I can't even be bothered to point out how not paralysed this person is. I think she had a trapped nerve or something.

Anyway as we have seen Drewy is really good at curating her social media and is very careful that you won't find any posts of her after the date of the stroke without her walking aids. And boy does she have walking aids. She gets em all. All at once. To the point they are visibly impairing her mobility. But she also likes to show off so she likes to do gymnastics poses next to her mobility aids. #paralysed.

Spoiler

And it works! She gets signed to alternative disabled modelling agency Zebedee! This agency also manages Julian/Shelby.

Meanwhile Avery is not having a good time


his wife is Asexual. One of these types of asexuals. The type that later gets into a polyamourous throuple.


You'll notice Drewy does a cancer head shave in there. That was a hair donation. It was also a Choice.

Anyhoo. Enter Petite Pearl the Morkie. This budding disability influencer already had her service dog account set up ready to go before becoming disabled. How organised was that! It's unclear what service a Morkie can perform. Drewy's family have always had these little dogs. According to its profile its a seizure alert dog but the only thing I've found Drewy referring to it doing for her is telling her to eat. Seizures aren't mentioned anywhere else in the story as far as I can tell. Maybe Drewy was planning to have them and forgot when she abandoned Pearl's account in 2020.


So remember. Paralysing stroke date: June 26 2018. Drewy cannot stand or walk and is paralysed in her right arm and leg after this date, she is recovering from a stroke and adapting to life with a major disability.

30th June




8th august

It seems we have a Max the Doxhound situation here in the Beauty Parlour. Drewy forgot to bring Pearl's timeline in line with the official narrative once it had been decided upon.

I'm not sure to what extent Avery is in on it or buying it. He is still wheeling her around in 2019 to take photos of her as she hints as the identity she will eventually use to discard him.



She gets diagnosed with EDS after the "stroke" presumably when doctors investigate her apparent mobility issues hypermobility is as close to a reason as they can find for them. (You'll remember she's done gymnastics since she was a kid and according to a post above practices splits every day so whether that's an all natural Beighton score or as a result of training is debatable). This becomes justification for the mobility aids, allows for POTS to enter the chat and Drewy has a bit of a moment where some of the big autism accounts pay attention to her.

Peep autie in the comments.

But this is where her career peaks. Tune in next time for Drewy gets toobed, gets Enby'd, gets chubby and gets into a grifting munchie throuple ultimately ending up the kind of person who would unironically be friends with Bee.
