I am only partially through KFS's post, however our friend here is playing up her seizures, obviously. She is losing places in books and can not keep up her own pen pals yet has no tells of someone actively having as many seizures as she claims. And has no issues with screen time.

Secondly the vns is not brain surgery, she should have a magnet to swipe for breakthrough seizures. It should Here is a study about the success of vns. Infact it s seems to help anxiety and depression, among other things.

If she has no neurologist a hospital will not want to give meds for every fake emergency seizure, in fact I am shocked she has not complained about how mean they are for testing if it is real or fake.

I knew an epileptic who would have Tonic clonics outside, someone would bring him a pillow and hang around making sure he was fine and finally get him to bed. He never went to the hospital and he dropped 4 times a week. Ironically vns changed his life. Most epileptics I know would laugh at hospital runs.

I'm honestly kind of surprised by how little your head size changes.

Yeah it's really weird we start out with heads that are massive in comparison to the rest of us, but then they don't grow a whole lot compared to the rest of our body.



also this adult woman has the really typical autistic grimace that you see in autistic women that dont know how to smile like a normal person.

Yeah, if you know you have epilepsy and you have a tonic clonic there's no real point in going to the hospital unless you hit your head or started choking. If everything settled down on its own you can just sleep it off. Going to the hospital is a waste of time. You already know what's wrong with you, and it's pointless to sit in the ER when there's nothing the doctors can do.

its absolutely possible to have a normal adult sized head, in proportion to your body, but need glasses from the kids section. until you actually need glasses, you wouldn't even know it was slightly small. I have to get mine in the kids section, there are normal styles suitable for the office etc. its also relatively normal for prescriptions to change significantly, i imagine this happens even more if you're deliberately fucking your eyes with really unsuitable lenses.

def seems a bit fetishy, at least she isn't abusing animals or shoving shit in her port. just scrolled back through in case i missed it, she didn't seem to state the reason for the port or throw the expected fit when she lost it. at least not online. i'm guessing the port was placed by the "good doctor." bit of it falling off into her body is a big X from me.

i'm looking forward to the continuation of the blind saga. how long will her hugbox buy it for?

eta: i so SO want a jesus miracle of sight arc, please please please. my guess is it would coincidentally happen just as people really start challenging her about her blind LARP.

This is what stood out to me as well. That, and the smile just makes her look like she's missing teeth, even though I don't think she is. Also, you can be very nearsighted but still have sharp near vision, but you lose it with age/presbyopia, and if she's fucking with overcorrecting nearsightedness, it's going to start biting her in the ass really hard in her mid-30s.
Has anything more recent come out? I'm really curious what's going to become of this lil' Hillbilly Waif. Also edited to add: Once again, bra-fucking-va, @KFS.

powerlevel: One of the options offered to me as a possible treatment for severe refractive depression was VNS. It seemed kind of scary and if it didn't help, was something I'd be stuck with forever. Tried something else instead.

Yes, working on the last part I travel for work and don't always have the best connection where they put me up for the week. Sometimes it's fine and sometimes it's "welcome back to AOL!"

Turns out all you needed was to routinely peruse Beauty Parlor.

It certainly helped.

I personally think she's a middle aged lady of normal (if low) intelligence. Maybe she's got a bit of high functioning 'tism or more probably emotional stuntedness and personality disorders clearly not treated in childhood. I think much like KFS said she probably refused to eat things she didn't like as a kid and developed an eating disorder. Obviously, there's plenty of parental participation in her craziness probably at least in part for drugs. The repetition of how she was a child that was so tiny on growth charts, ftt, etc is something probably oft repeated by her mother. Tiny power level, my son was tiny and fell-off growth charts for the first five years of his life--he's a 6 foot, 200lb adult teen now and the only way he'd remember his tinyness as a little kid and speak of it as she does is if I had kept saying it. Her commitment to pretending to be childlike is really impressive though. I 100% believe it to be contrived. Daddy's trips to the park with her creep me the fuck out.

We have massive brains so we can do advanced things like spread transphobia on the internet, and so evolution's selected for us to brainmax during gestation and come out with almost vestigial bodies.

I'd bet money that her contractures vanish when asleep or under general anesthesia. Clearly the muscle hasn't shortened because in one pic her wrist was extended. Botox would help with fake contractures because it'd stop them from being able to flex it on purpose.

Spoiler: Sperging about happy hypoxia

The funny thing about low o2 saturation and happy hypoxia is you don't realize how fucked up you are until you're normal. I did an aviation medicine course once and they got us to use a flight simulator while wearing a mask. They'd slowly lower the oxygen amount we were breathing. Everything seems normal. Mine got down to 60% before they restored oxygen. I felt fine, was talking to the people and flying the plane. As soon as normal oxygen was restored everything became brighter because I had lost color vision without realizing it. I also realized my plane was losing altitude. It's one of those things where you think everything is normal until normal is restored. I thought I was doing a good job flying the simulator. It's why no one notices when pressurization fails in an airplane. The pilot keeps flying until they eventually pass out and autopilot keeps them in the air until they run out of fuel. You only notice sudden hypoxia. If the hypoxia is gradual enough you won't even notice. It's like how if you put a frog in a bowl of atrozine he'll jump out but you you put a frog in a bowl of water and slowly increase the atrozine concentration he'll turn gay

Seconding this. Same for clothes. Things are sized so strangely these days that one can be an otherwise shorter/skinnier than average but still perfectly normal adult human and be able to (if not be forced to) buy clothes from the kids section. It's not something go be smug about, if anything it's a testament to how much we, as a society, are failing our children.

The correct emotional response when seeing a 300lbs 10 year old in public is, of course, horror and sadness but such phenomena does allow for miserly and short adult women to buy clothes for half the price of the adult version of the same clothes so... sometimes you just feel like shit about the state of the world while you buy your $10 sweat pants that have unicorns on them.

It'll be her "twin" that she ate in the womb. Don't recall the exact batshittery.

Can relate, all the sperm that didn't make it when I was conceived were my very real brothers and sisters and I mourn them every day.

Did Sick Vic always have a tube?

Did Sick Vic always have a tube?

Well well well looks like it’s time for a quickie icky Vicky update. My oh my, what’s this clay effigy been up to since April?

Hospital. That’s it. Hospital, yeet, hospital, yeet, and finally— hospital, yeet. Three times. Not a goddamn thing wrong with her and the doctors know that, but that didn’t stop vic from getting a tube and THEN starving herself in between admissions #2 (when she got the tube) and #3 (most recently). She claimed the tube wasn’t working and that’s why she dropped so much weight, but as soon as she was admitted, it miraculously resolved.


She posted SO MANY TIMES over the last several months and each hospital stay was several weeks long. But here are the highlights:

1. Fully insistent that she is the most beloved and fussed over patient

2. Firmly of the belief that she was severely ill and dying of strange symptoms that the doctors would for sure find the cause of any day now (they never did)

3. Mentioned cancer once or twice but couldn’t quite get that storyline to take off (because everyone knows she quite literally doesn’t have cancer)



Vic in July





Vic a couple days ago:



A sample of the most recent admission, when she’d fake cardiac symptoms every time the doctors mentioned discharge (all below are weeks apart lol). It’s possible during this time she was placed on a psych med to treat her obvious (and previously dx which made vic big mad) manic episode— vic says she was put on a med that “treats her seizures,” which she of course does not have. So I’m (wishfully) thinking psych med.

Bipolar queen strikes again. Big thanks to the friends who gathered and archived all this insanity over the past several months! Check out icky Vicky’s tiktok if you want more milk from the magical cow.
