Hello!!! I hope you don't mind doing this one,

Can you help me write a traumatized person who's having trouble talking because of past trauma? (They can still interact with people, but only with signs and movements, not voice) and also a little anxious

Tell me if you need more details =)

Types of Mutism:

selective mutism: having the ability to speak but feeling unable to.

organic mutism: mutism caused by brain injury, such as with drug use or after a stroke.

cerebellar mutism: mutism caused by the removal of a brain tumor from a part of the skull surrounding the cerebellum, which controls coordination and balance.

aphasia: when people find it difficult to speak because of stroke, brain tumor, or head injury.

What Causes Selective Mutism in Adults?

having another anxiety condition, like separation anxiety or social anxiety

experiencing physical, emotional, or sexual abuse

having a family history of selective mutism or social anxiety

having fewer opportunities for social contact

having an extremely shy personality

having a speech or language disorder, learning disability, or sensory processing disorder

parent-child enmeshment, or lack of clear boundaries in the relationship

traumatic experiences

Traumatic Mutism vs Trauma-Induced Selective Mutism

if you have traumatic mutism, you may be unable to talk in all situations following a trauma.

with trauma-induced selective mutism, you may find it impossible to talk only in certain situations-- for example, in front of the person who hurt you or in a setting that resembles the circumstances of your trauma.

Different Ways Individuals with Mutism May Choose to Communicate:

Nonverbal Communication: they may rely on facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, and body language to convey their thoughts, emotions, and intentions.

Writing or Typing: they may use a pen and paper, digital devices, or communication apps to write messages, notes, or responses.

Sign Language: they can convey meaning, emotions, and engage in complex conversations through hand signs, facial expressions, and body movements.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Devices: these devices provide individuals with a range of tools and technologies to support their communication needs. They can include speech-generating devices, picture boards, apps, or software that allows users to select words, phrases, or symbols to generate spoken or written output.

Communication Boards and Visual Aids: Communication boards or charts with pictures, symbols, or words can assist individuals in conveying their messages.

Assistive Technology: various assistive technologies, such as speech-to-text apps, text-to-speech programs, or eye-tracking devices that aid individuals with communication.

Tips on Writing a Mute / Non-Speaking Character:

Explore the vast array of nonverbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, gestures, and eye contact. Use descriptions to convey their intentions and reactions.

Utilize internal dialogue. Offer readers a window into their internal thought process, and turn their internal dialogue into a narrative that reveals their inner struggles, triumphs, and complexities so that reader can connect with the character.

Establish a communication system that is unique to your character (Sign language, written notes, telepathy in a fantasy setting, etc.). Having a communication system allows your character to interact with other characters and contribute to the narrative.

Surround them with Understanding Characters that can aid in communcation and fostering meaningful relationships.

Establish the Barriers/Conflicts They'll Experience. Don't forget to be realistic.

Your character is not defined by their inability to speak. Make sure you do not write stereotypes and cliches. Being mute is only one aspect of their identity rather than their defining trait.

Do your research! Seek out firsthand accounts, experiences, and perspectives. Check out online forums and resources to gain insights into their unique challenges, adaptations, and strengths.

MORE ABOUT ME

click here 🩵

I’m not sure what more add about myself but that should be good for the beginning ^^

I’m just starting to writing in other languages, so I’m stressed but excited at the same time. Let’s see how this adventure goes

ABOUT AGE & IDENTITY

It probably looks ridiculous but I don’t want to be judged because of my age. Unfortunately I’m not a minor anymore (missing that frfr) and in real life my name is not Cosette Ahn BUT it’s my own name, so I want to be called like that. if you know my personal information do not use them here

If I told you something personal but didn't post it online then it’s really easy conclusion: I perhaps don’t want it to be shared with everyone

But still I’m open for meeting new people, so don’t be shy! We can interact 🩵

WHAT DO I WRITE?

I want to know too! But jokes aside: I’m the biggest fan of angst, so it’s highly possible that many of my works will be like that. But i want to try smuts and fluffs as well. to put it briefly; everything and anything

NSFW:

When it comes to writing and reading nsfw works then I extremely extremely advise/politely beg/politely ask minors to not interact with them. I am not judging anyone because of their age but nsfw is not prohibited just because. But only reader is the one who decides.

PLZ DO

If I didn't use proper warnings?/some warnings are missing: tell me! 

Same story if you want to educate me in some cases: please do it. I don’t want anybody to get hurt in any way, so any mistake is not intentional

We all are human, let’s be understanding 🫶

PS recently ciipher has stolen my heart 🩵

Special thanks to @ness-iness who is helping me all the time with tumblr, carrd and more. Thank you!!

just a drabble; feel free to use :)

holding hands for comfort

playing with their hair while they rest their head in their lap

affectionate smiles at them from across the room

forehead kisses

linking arms

B resting their head on the As shoulder

reading a book together: A flipping the pages while the B rests their head in A’s chest, holding the other side of the book.

watching movies together under a cozy blanket, surrounded by snacks and the comfort of each others presence

leaving each other post-it notes

calling/texting each other for hours whenever they’re apart

sleeping together: B falling asleep, resting their head in A’s chest, drowsily snuggling their head deeper as A lays gentle kisses on B’s head

sharing a drink/meal

staying up to have deep talks that last for hours>>>

B nuzzling their nose into the crook of A’s neck

future husband | sangyeon

pairing: bf!sanygeon x fem!reader

genre: humor, slice-of-life, and fluff // warnings: brief mentions of food, drinking, and cursing… and 2 suggestive lines

summary: A dinner date in celebration of Valentine’s day with your boyfriend leaves you two to recount your first encounter with each other.  // wc: 1148

note: I hope everyone had a good valentine’s day !! AHHH LESS THAN WEEK UNTIL TBZ CB, oml the highlight medley has me gone, it all sounds so so so so good! Enjoy & please reblog with feedback if you liked it! also @sungbeam​ 😏 it’s here (I hope I did soft sexy sangyeon right 😭 & also good luck on your exams again Jiayou !!) 

“Sangyeon. If I had known we were going to eat here, I would have dressed nicer.” You half-heartedly wail while staring at your boyfriend. Everyone knows Sangyeon cleans up very nicely and is always so handsome. It would be unlike him to not dress his best especially for a date with you. Even though, personally speaking, you like him best when he’s wearing less. 

He chuckles and watches as his eyes crinkle the way they always do whenever he laughs. “Well if I told you, it would have spoiled the surprise. Besides, what you’re wearing right now is stunning. If we were in a couples contest, we would win best dressed.”

Even when his words of flattery annoy you, it always manages to get a smile out of you. “Sweetheart, flattery will get you nowhere in life.” Your hands find their way into giving him a pat on the back. They only get a few pats in before he takes your hands to hold them. “Well, it got me you. So I would say it did get somewhere.” All of the while said with a teasing smile and tone.
