Invisible Disorder Awareness Lions Project (IDALP)

*****NOTICE: Still on hiatus from Lioden, but working towards more lions! As always thank you for all the support!!<3~Liz*****


About


The Project
So this project was started one night when I was looking about lioden's diverse community and I thought about how I could bring awareness of invisible disorders to lioden. I mean after all most of everyone has something wrong with them so why not prove the idea that you never know what the people on the other side of the screen are going through! For this project I've partnered with many people with many different disabilities/illnesses in order to get a bit of a glimpse into some less visible issues people deal with.

~Like the project? Donations are not needed but appreciated due to the fact that some of these lions are actual lions and not just from wardrobe! You can donate through gifting on my den page just put in message that its for IDALP and I'll but it back for the project<3

The Creator
Hi! My name's Lizzie but I go by Liz, I'm a nonbinary mentally ill little human that loves lioden. I own a little clan called Moonlite Mannor Rescue , a clan dedicated to helping new or less fortunate players get some pretty babies for cheaper prices. Having played lioden for my fair share of time, I've seen lots of people with lots of different disabilities. Now I know lioden is a home for everyone of all different walks of life I figured that lioden could really use some disability awareness, but in a fun way! Have a good look and don't forget how loved you are, and if no one's told you today, I love you and am so proud of you!

IDALP's Lions!

Lypher Self H@rm Awareness (no link)

Lore: As you come to visit Lypher you see something on him but don't directly say anything to him, he notices you looking at them and moves his feet out of view "don't ask" he growls "not your body not your problem". You walk in front of his turned face and show him your old scars. He looks at you in shock. "Listen I can't say it'll get better, but I can say that they are nothing to be ashamed of, they show your battles and what you made it through, it shows that you're a warrior Lypher, It doesn't mean your weak" Lypher watches as you walk away then gazes down at his scars.

Even though this site is mainly adult dominated this isnt something that just kids and teens struggle with. There is help out there if you want or need it, I will have different resources listed below if you need to reach out to anyone. Always feel, free to reach out to me in my pm's I'm always here, incase no one told you, I love you, and I'm proud of you! <3

Aurora Autism Awareness
Lore: In the shade of a tree sat Aurora, eyes trained on a beetle in front of them, seeming to barely notice your presence. You watch the beetle together in silence until it flies onto a higher branch causing Aurora to look up at you. Their eyes flit about your facial features, avoiding your stare.
“You’re different from the others… Most would kill a beetle like that for its carapace.” You mutter, noticing Aurora’s gaze halt on your mouth.
They shrug, turning towards a patch of sand and stretching out a claw before beginning to scribble in the sand. Before you can react, they’ve stopped scribbling and look up at you. The letters read:
“My difference is my strength.”
You look up and see Aurora draw a deep breath.
“My difference felt like it hurt me for many years, but now I accept that it’s who I am. It’s not something to be ashamed of or to hide.” They sigh, padding over to the shade of the tree once more.
“It wasn’t hurting me, I was just trying to bury it. Now I feel good about it, and it doesn’t hurt anymore.” They continue, stretching out their legs and flicking their tail rhythmically before curling up and staring at a new beetle. (Lore by 🌌rizla💙#364872 )

Not too many things I can say about this other than I personally struggle with this and I know it's hard and I know its exhausting.

Elora- BPD Awarness
Lore: As you go for your daily stroll, you find Elora laying in the sand. She seems to be thinking about something. "Uh Elora, are you okay?" you say with a curious tone. "Yea I'm just tired, tired of the smallest inconveniences causing me to hurt the people I love the most. I'm trying to heal i really am but it's as if I wake up and am just instantly angry, I see everything in black or white with no grey area. It's really hard to try to stay calm, and i hate hurting people around me."
PSA: this lore was based off my own personal experiences and not everyone with BPD experiences the same thing.

BPD is fairly common affecting more that 1.6% (over 4 million people) of the worlds population, it is more likely to affect women with about 75% of the cases, but can affect anyone of any gender. It is known to be one of the deadliest mental illness with a suicide fatality rate of 8-10% and at least 70% of people with this illness will attempt it. One suspected reason of why its so challenging to deal with is the fact that over 40% are misdiagnosed with other disorders such as bipolar disorder. As always i have some resources for you, and my dm's are always open as I too struggle with this disorder.

Hobie~ DID Awareness
Lore: N
“I wanted to ask you something.” She took a deep breath before she spoke, pausing in her step. Hobie took a few more before realizing she had stopped and turning his large body towards her. She sat down, hips aching. He nodded and tilted his head as if asking her to go on. “I have noticed some… things.. There are days where you seem to be completely different. Your personality shifts. One day you will happily eat a zebra and the next you won’t even touch it and say you hate it. Some days you’re fine with touch and others you’re snapping at someone for touching you the very next minute… I don’t know what’s going on, but I would like to help.” She explained gently.

Hobie’s face fell as she spoke, head lowering a bit. He nodded to her words as he sat down, lowering his body fully to the ground and tucking his paws underneath him. “You’re not wrong.. I have been changing… because it’s not just me up here..” he lowered his head and put his paw over his head for a moment. He looked up at Noctus, expecting her to look at him like he was insane. But she didn’t. She was looking at him with interest and kindness. “I have… other me-s up here… Some of them use different names.. they take over my body in different situations or when they want to… They help me! They’re a part of me! But they all have different likes and dislikes and tastes and things!” His blue eyes looked panicked up at her.

The gray coated female laid down, groaning as she did. She stretched a paw out, laying it over one of his softly. “It’s alright, Hobie.” She soothed. “I would love to meet these other versions of you. I want to get to know them as well. I want to help.” She said gently.

“You… You believe me? And… You do?” He asked, tone hesitant and filled with disbelief.

“Yes. I do.” She leaned forward and licked over his nose playfully and in a motherly, grooming way. “Lions in my old pride had this too. It’s called D.I.D. or Dissociative Identity Disorder. It means there are more of you that help in stressful situations and live in your head. They’re there to protect you and take care of you. I want to get to know every single part of you, Hobie. I want to help you and your other alters feel safe and secure. I know there will be bad days, but I will be here to get you through them. I promise.” She pressed her forehead to his. He purred softly in response, reaching up to lay his paw over her shoulder and neck.

“Thank you, Noctus. You’re a great friend.” He whispered, feeling just a bit more content that he had someone to help him through learning this new part of himself.

Unfortunately the lore had to be cut a bit shorter to maintain aesthetics so here's a link to the FULL LORE
(Lore by StarStuddedBrat (#328291) )

I personally do not struggle with DID but here is some resources for those who do, and people who would love to learn more<3

Juniper ADHD Awareness
Lore: *******

This lion was specifically made to be female because most often times women are 50-75% more likely to go misdiagnosed with ADHD. I myself do have this disorder so the lore is based soley on my experiences with it.

Could you do one for Down syndrome? My mom works with kids who have autism and Down syndrome and I’ve helped her with her clients since I was little. I would love to see one like that, what you are doing is amazing

What about a lion with body dysmorphia disorder?
For example a lioness who thinks she is ugly because she is not a colourbomb or a sub male who thinks his mane should be fluffier.

While I don't have borderline personality disorder myself, my first thoughts when I learned about it were always "That sounds like it would be such a scary thing to struggle with." Not that *people* with the disorder were scary, but that *having* the disorder would be scary- the fear of being abandoned, the tendency to push people away even though you want them to stay by your side...And I think you captured that perfectly!

@CaitlinSnep (#215326) Thank you!!! It can be scary at times but for me its mainly sad to see myself hurt people and push them away even though i need them, its feels like im watching my body in 3rd person at times, and it also really sucks to feel yourself change and just feel as if you are unlovable.

Unfortunately, due to a worsening in my health issues i do have to take a break from lioden and this project, i still want to work on it and the research for it however, right now i just dont have enough hours in the day to work on it. Im currently working 38 hrs a week while dealing with my pots symptoms worsening, a double ear infection thats messing with my hearing, and trying to car for my house and pets. I hope to return as soon as I can and hopefully with better health and less stress. I hope you all understand and I love you all so much for the support and i hope to return shortly.

In the meantime what do yall see this project amounting to? I would love to eventually, possibly sell some kind of rep for it maybe some kind of merch or something that we could use some profits to fund research in diseases such as eds and others. Just a thought, let me know what you imagine for the future of IDALP

With love,
~Lizzie
