Hhh the fandom pulled me in and now here's fanart of em

Their accessories (and the main ava characs with their eyes hhh) will help figure out who's who since I drew traditional stuff of them

They're beans okay

They all belong to Alan Becker

someone: Oh look it’s Darren Criss!

everyone: You mean that one guy from Glee?

me, an intellectual: You mean that one guy from A Very Potter Musical, A Very Potter Sequel, and A Very Potter Senior Year?

Hey there nonny! 

I typically don’t advise trying to discern a disease around a symptom, but looking up diseases that might affect your characters. 

Seizures are a pretty severe symptom, and for them to develop as part of a disease process over only a couple of weeks is pretty rapid. 

The first 4 things that pop into my head are all possible, and not necessarily a function of her lifestyle. 

First is cancer. A neoplasm of the brain or the meninges is possible, and when that cancerous growth puts pressure on the brain, seizures are a result. In the cases I’ve seen, the pressure can cause nearly continuous seizures, though intermittent ones are definitely possible. 

Second is an aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation (AVM). If your character’s proclivities include drug use, and  has included significant amounts of cocaine, crack, or stimulants like PCP, the “temporary” rise in blood pressure can put pressure on an artery or poorly formed blood vessel in the brain, which could cause seizures. This would also cause nasty focal (one-place) headaches and localized muscle weakness or numbness in other parts of the body. 

Third is meningitis. A viral meningitis will be slower to grow than a bacterial meningitis, and would cause a fever, stiff neck, nausea, vomiting, and seizures. It would develop over a few days at most; meningitis is very fast-moving. She may also be sleepy or difficult to wake. 

3a would be viral  or bacterial encephalitis, where the brain itself gets an infection and starts to swell; this is often a latent infection. It’s a common presentation of HIV. This could also be a presentation of neurosyphilis; ie, untreated syphilis that’s spread to the brain, though this is much slower to develop. (Neurosyphilis is also bacterial, not viral.) Symptoms might include fever, weakness, confusion, headache, and seizures. 

Fourth would actually be withdrawal. If your character is chemically dependent upon alcohol, and she decides to stop suddenly, withdrawal seizures are extremely common. While they’re not typically life threatening, they can be, especially if the seizure comes at the wrong time (whiled driving, while stepping out into the street, etc.) 

I hope somewhere in these four ideas you find something that works for you :)

Here are the main five~

I like to base their personalities off from what the episodes show and what Alan described them to be.

But I also like going off with little traits for them on my own lol

I just love their relationships hhh

My fave relationship being Yellow and Blue-- I've always seen them together, with Yellow always comforting Blue. Then that second episode where when they went over to Yellow's work, Blue looked to the others while clapping as if to make sure they were clapping too and other etc moments lmao. Idk I just saw it that way

I just love the five's dynamics with each other
