Once every few years I randomly remember I love Sonic stuff and it just takes over my brain for a week or two

According to Tangle the Lemur and Whisper the Wolf's creator Ian Flynn, due to SEGA's official word being that they can't go really in depth with romantic relationships, they're "really really really REALLY the bestest of friends" and that he's gonna smile, nod, and wink nudge nudge with "yeah they're GREAT friends." [Thank you @pawstickers] [X]

Tangle and Whisper are, without the hold-back, intended to be a couple or at least romantically involved/interested. In a later Bumblecast Ian Flynn talks about the possibility of their disastrous "comedy of errors" but well-meaning first date. [X]

However there are little things as in the way they view and interact with each other, as well as in Issue #31 when Whisper is wagging her tail when being with and being physically touched by Tangle, and Tangle herself blushing (In this same issue, Vector the Crocodile was also shown blushing in the presence of Vanilla the Rabbit, which is a crush set-up previously by Sonic X.)

And there's a very little detail in Issue #58 in flashback memories of Whisper, where in the first one it's her leaving the restoration, showing Tangle with a very specific headband...

...in which Whisper is shown wearing later while recovering. Her hair is still being held-up by her usual hairband, so it's serving no usual purpose, other than possible emotional support. (The tag saying who have her the flowers is left unseen, however the possibility that it was Tangle remains, especially since the colors of the flowers themselves match the headband, but that's speculation.)

Although the romantic relationships mandate still stands, Whisper and Tangle are intended to be romantic in some way, and that fact is shown in small ways in the comics as much as they can be.

To cope with the harsh reality of our daily life, we find ourselves trying to make the best of food that should otherwise be deemed unfit for consumption. Flour, often infested with weevils and carrying a musty odor, is made palatable only by adding vanilla and cinnamon. Even more challenging is the fact that we must cook using firewood, as basic resources are scarce. This experience underscores our resilience and the harsh conditions we face to provide even the simplest meals.

"In challenging times, we all need the support of others to find the strength to move forward. Cooperation and mutual care are what help us overcome hardships and rebuild hope."

Can I just say this has been as enlightening as it has been exhausting?

Spent the last month discovering that I'm actually incredibly neurodivergent and it turns out that's a big part of a lot of dysfunction and challenges I have. Like holy FUCK, I have real bad emotional dysregulation! A lot of people don't have that! Like, fuck dude! That would've been really useful to know sooner than post-college!

[gravityandmomentum]

Audibly yelling "oh FUCK me!" every time I find out some incredibly specific and seemingly isolated experience I've had is actually an autism thing lmao

Also I'm pretty sad that I was autistic this whole fuckin' time, but the general attitude about all the unique challenges I had growing up was "eh, she'll survive" and then just ignoring me until it stopped being a problem. Could've been getting help all my life. Could've understood why making friends is incredibly hard, or why I can't tolerate foods everyone *insists* I eat, or why I have such strong emotions to a point where they cause problems. Oh well, at least I understand now. I feel like I've got a sense of closure.

Ya' know, just learning the language is really helpful. "Emotional dysregulation" and "overstimulation" are a lot more useful than "you know that weird electrical stormy feeling at the back of the skull that happens when you feel strong emotions and you also stop being capable of perceiving your surroundings for some reason???" haha.

Being transfem is actually fun cause now I get to cry and have gender euphoria at the same time. Like that is so fucking healthy and good for me, and I'm so proud of myself for being able to comfortably cry over movies now aghghfgfgh

Gonna need to internalize that "stop apologizing for having feelings" thing cause I definitely need to reframe how I see my feelings.

Oh yeah fuck the whole "you'll change your mind about starting a family when you're older" thing people say, like it's an inevitability to have kids. Cause there are so many random little influences in life that can make a person decide for and against that, and they can change at any time. I could easily switch back to not wanting to have kids, or finding other opportunities that take up time and energy so I never go down that path. And me sitting here and thinking about how nice starting a family is was influenced by so many experiences completely unique to my past and personality. It's actually quite a personal thing for me to conclude and I wouldn't be too happy with people treating it like I begrudgingly accepted an inevitability or whatever, haha. (And I'm 22, so this is far from an immediate future either way, so whatever.)

[gravityandmomentum]

Abandoning the idea that you're supposed to have kids and freeing yourself from a predetermined fate assigned with no actual consideration for what you want to do with your life. Then only to realize that you are actually really into the idea of starting your own little family and watching and protecting these people as they grow and flourish into something you never imagined.

Mhm. I'm not setting my future in stone now cause that's dumb, and If I do go down that path, I'm saving it til my 30's at least cause I need to live my life free for a bit. But AH, being a trans mom sounds real nice and cozy! Also pretty happy this is a possible future I found on my own terms, and it wouldn't be a thing I'm doing just because people told me to. I've got my own reasons and junk, which really is what you need before you do something as major as parenthood.

me: feels an emotion and expresses it

abused brain: apologize

Yeah today's not a good day to just not have a support network or anyone to talk to at all lmao I hate this so much

I owe my roommate for three months worth of utilities now, and it's to the point where I'm anxious to leave my bedroom again. I'm too anxious to double check the amount due but it's about $280 I think.

I'm really struggling to pull in commissions and having an incredibly rough time getting myself in a good spot to seek employment. working with my psych and therapist to try to get myself there but between scheduling issues and anxiety and a general Very Hard Time Doing Anything Ive been unable to make any real progress.

any help at all is super appreciated. donations and the occasional commission are the only way I've been able to stay afloat. thank you so much.

Help Ammar's family 🍉

A year has passed since the October 7 war, the Gaza Strip war. In this war, Ammar Hammad was born in harsh conditions. He was 3 months old and could not breastfeed from his mother because she suffers from asthma in the lungs and no milk comes down in her udder. There is a report from Nasser Hospital about this. Ammar needs about 10 packs of milk to help him live in these conditions, in addition to diapers and his special clothes. In addition, Ammar's son suffers from a complete tear in the cruciate ligament and cannot work. Therefore, Ammar needs your help to stay alive.

Your donation is part of saving our lives from death. I hope you donate 20$

i share a lot of fundraisers on here but right now i want to take a moment and bring extra attention to @ibrahim-family's campaign, #25 on the @gazavetters spreadsheet:

he's only fifteen years old. younger than my youngest sibling. and he's responsible for saving the lives of his family. can you imagine having to grapple with that at 15? would you be able to handle the pressure?

every day he messages me, full of anxiety when my responses lapse, and when i share his posts or tell him what i can do to help he tells me he loves me.

today he told me that his uncle was martyred just hours earlier.

when the genocide is over, ibrahim is still going to need love and support, but right now he needs the resources to survive. please, please, please donate what you can to his campaign, no matter how small.

grabs you by the shoulders and shouts HEY. you are no going to kill yourself. you are not going to give up. you are not going to immediately go back into the closet. you are not going to give him the satisfaction before it matters. you are going to live, and you are going to live well. you’re going to put on your favorite outfit and refill your hormone subscription and go out and buy some hair dye. you are not going to give up before its hopeless. as my good friend amy aka spent galadiator says, youre going to do every stupid thing that makes you feel alive. and we are going to make it out of these four years alive. and we are going to work to not make them the worst four years of our lives.
