thinking about bau!reader with a food allergy/sensitivity/preference 😭
aaron making sure the precinct you’re visiting is conscious of it. they bring in food? he’s immediately asking what’s in it — better yet, before food is brought in he brings it to their awareness, letting them know straight away.
the bau kitchen — aaron’s big on reading labels. he makes sure there’s a separate shelf of allergy free items, it’s always stocked and is strict on the fact that no one contaminates it - i.e. someone mindlessly puts something away on that shelf, oh boy everyone’s gonna hear about it. in the fridge, items are marked with masking tape with your name on it.
he carries safe snacks on him too <3 you mention you’re hungry - he always has something at the ready and he whips it out outta nowhere. and if you are allergic to something, aaron asks you frequently if you have your epipen on you, and has one himself too 🥰 and if the team is going out for food, or it’s just you and him, he preemptively checks the menu to make sure there’s something you can eat <3

(CW for food)
Saw some spam-pornbots and I am now ✨Traumatized✨
Figured that there are probably more people who are also probably traumatized because of them so...
This is an official rest post + Brain bleach
Take this garlic bread that also contains a lot of cheese
And this cake
And a photo of my other dog Bubble (She's a Maltipoo, a cross between a Maltese and a Toy Poodle ^^)

I read your post on auditory hallucinations and illusions but I wanted to know if you could possibly do one on the visual versions of them. I have a hard time telling the difference between them and identifying which is which.
So the same rule still applies: hallucinations are your senses creating something that isn't there, and illusions are your senses altering something that is already there.
If you are at your house and home alone with no pets, and you see a panda bear crawling around, that's a hallucination. Nothing is moving like that in your house but your brain created the visual of a panda.
If you are at your house and home alone but you have a large dog, and you see your dog walking around but with the head of a panda, that's an illusion. Your dog is moving around, but your brain changes the visual of the dog's head into the head of a panda.
I'll do another example. But I will be describing bugs and food, read under the cut if you want to, or don't press "read more" if you don't want to read about bugs and food.
Imagine you are about to eat a stir fry with rice, you made it, and you know your kitchen is clean. But when you go to eat it suddenly you see a tarantula on top of the food. It doesn't make sense because you don't even have tarantulas in your area, and there aren't bugs in your house. After a minute the spider just disappears, not crawling away but just vanishing. That was a hallucination, there were no bugs or moving things on top of you food, but your brain created the image of a tarantula. The hallucination was sitting on top of a real item (your food) but was an entirely new thing that your brain created.
Now imagine you are about to eat a stir fry with rice, you made it, you know you used rice, and that your kitchen is clean. But when you go to eat the food, suddenly each grain of rice on your plate looks like a little worm. After a minute the worms stop moving and go back to looking like regular grains of rice. That was an illusion. The grains of rice were there, but your brain changed what they look like and made them look like little worms.
I'm sorry for the gross descriptions but the illusion example is actually one of my most frequent visual illusions that I get (I hate it). Both hallucinations and illusions can be very disturbing and impact your life. It isn't always easy to tell them apart, but it also isn't super important to identify them correctly unless you want to track your personal progress or worsening symptoms.

As a biochem student and certified nerd, I feel the responsibility to bestow this knowledge upon as many people as I possibly can:
You do NOT need to "earn" meals through exercise.
You know why?
Because exercise only accounts for about 20% of your calories. The majority of the calories your body burns, it uses to keep itself alive. It uses them to power your brain and metabolism. In fact, your brain ALONE is responsible for spending about 20% of your calories.
Your BRAIN, just to keep itself going, uses up just as many (or even more!!!) calories than all the exercise you do.
Your RESTING metabolic rate is responsible for burning between 60 and 75% of your calories.
You don't just deserve food because you're working out. YOU DESERVE FOOD BECAUSE YOUR BODY NEEDS IT TO STAY ALIVE.
