I didnt know zenith shared the same disability with you thats super interesting, if you dont mind answering which disability do you both have ??
Sorry if you've already answered this question before or you have already talked about this (￣∇￣)
I don’t mind! I’ve mentioned it but it’s only described on his af profile
I used to be ashamed lol but being embarrassed is more exhausting then this fuckass disorder 😭
It’s called congenital fiber type disproportion (CFTD), it affects 0.00023% of the human population 💔 (some articles said 0.23% I’m not sure which, it’s not well known so reliable research is lowkey hard to find). It causes small or uneven muscle fibers and cells, which fibers are the literal energy for muscles to work and grow to gain strength and stamina. It affects every muscle in your entire body, yes even my face muscles are a victim… most cases I’ve seen people are in wheelchairs and can’t even close their mouth without assistance… I’m lucky it’s not severe, or that I don’t have cognitive disabilities along side it… that would suck so bad omg
I got diagnosed at 18 months because I wasn’t walking, crawling, scooting, nothing lol. But I hit all my cognitive milestones I was just being a chud ig /j. I didn’t actually walk until I was nearly 4 yrs old, (and apparently when I started walking I would walk on the inside of my ankles because I couldn’t hold my feet up correctly…. Which still somewhat happens when I’m really tired, but shoes help) I was always underweight, besides weak joints and needing to wear ankle braces 💔 it didn’t affect me socially until puberty (which was late for me anyway) everyone else got that burst of muscle and I didn’t. I got taller though ig 😭 5 foot 5 but still 95 lbs. I don’t get hungry very often either but that could just be me. I think my brain resorts to sleep for all energy first lol.
So it’s different for everyone (I think ive never met anyone with it 😭) for me it’s moderate. It affects my life, body and physical performance a lot but not to the point someone can tell just by looking at me in public. I tire easily but not in a “out of breath” way, once I’m tired I can’t get “untired” by sitting or walking, I have to sleep. I take naps a lot after hard days. As you can imagine my shifts at work SUCK by the end I’m in a lot of pain 😭 and I can’t even lift the bags of pizza cheese …. but I try not to complain 💔 some days are worse than others. My body works harder in general to do every day things, I struggle to maintain muscle mass and gain any. I once worked out a lot to get stronger and I ended up burning away my muscles… because I burned fat by just living ..
Let me pull out my trusty dusty sketches of zenith for physical affect examples
His build is basically mine, it changes a bit in the story but always ends up like this again due to events, energy loss and stuff like that. That’s why he’s smaller and looks younger despite being 15-16 yrs old. And why i put his plushie in pajamas lol
his dad was a famous wrestler and the sun god. So when zenith came out this way people were disappointed. He was supposed to be their savior from a war going on. But he was kinda deemed as useless. (At this time, disabilities were a thing, but his wasn’t known, people assumed before helping him, too caught up in their religious expectations to try and understand him) His own dad doubted him but pressured him to continue anyway, throughout his story nothing he accomplished is out of physical strength, he was just very mentally strong and smart.. he could handle pain decently because of a high discomfort tolerance. it obviously gets in his way frequently and others take advantage of it or think he’s weak. But he’s tuff still 🥹🥹
THATS WHAT THIS SCENE IS he has semi immortal abilities but people think it’s a waste because he’s not good as a physical fighter.
THIS IS SO OLD ITS UGLY BUT ITS ALL I HAVE
Anyway thanks for letting me yap sorry I wrote so much I’ve just been thinking about it a lot
ALSO! IM DOING UR ARTFIGHT ATTACK TRUST IT WILL BE DONE BEFORE AF ENDS!
