sometimes disability accommodations arent what you think. sometimes its letting the weird people, well, be weird. letting them carry stuffed animals around, wear things you dont normally see, be loud/quiet, speak in odd manners, spell things wrong, all of it without backlash or harrassment.
and thats okay. its not just the big, important things that a lot of us NEED to function, like interpreters or ramps. sometimes the small things can make a difference too, no matter how “strange” or “distracting” they are.
if its not harming you or someone else its not a problem. its making someones life easier or less miserable.

positivity for angry sysmates.
shoutout to persecutors. shoutout to protectors. shoutout to anger holders. shoutout to sysmates who aren't willing to mask their anger. shoutout to sysmates who lash out to protect their system. shoutout to fictives of villains who are unapologetic about their source
One thing that might be helpful as an aid is a heated body pillow. They're about $100, but it can help to simulate hugging. The combination of that and a weighted blanket works particularly well. Cheaper option would be a heating pad & a regular pillow, you might already have those laying around. It won't be quite as nice, but it could still help.
Combining visualization (within a headspace situation) with hugging someone who is co-con can also work well. And combining all of these things can work *very* well.
How do I hug my headmates and have them actually feel it? They're cool and deserve hugs :]
Hello! I relate to this a lot,
Now I'm not familiar with stuff in headspace or an inner world as we don't really have one. However! I often will hug the body/ourselves, with the To Be Hugged in front or co-con with me, and that works. In fact, all physical affection we want to show to one another and feel it is through the body .. it's actually really comforting ^♡^
There are likely other ways, and this may not work for everyplural, but this is what we do! I hope they get their hugs <3
