byan loves drawing on walls. they've gotten in trouble for it their whole life. (yes, even as a teenager. yes, even as an adult.) there's just something so fun about it that they can't really explain, though it generally being against the rules definitely does play at least a small part in it. it's part of why they started dabbling in street art, though in all honesty... for them, nothing quite beats a marker on the painted walls of someone's home. or at school. or at their case worker's office.
ironically, it's rarely an intentionally malicious move. like, yeah, there have definitely been times where they've done it just to stir shit, but most of the time... they're just overcome with a creative urge. not that they try to explain themself anymore — people can think what they want of their intentions, explaining never worked when they were little and it'd work even less now.

fuck overbearing people fuck zero boundaries fuck location settings fuck the life 360 app fuck constantly watching or being watched fuck the surveillance state fuck the idea that if you love someone you have to know where they are 24/7 fuck the idea that if you love someone you have to tell THEM where YOU are 24/7 jesus christ not everyone in your household is a drug selling cheater that you have to watch constantly. love is trust, not the removal of the need for trust. how did "text me when you get there so i know you're safe" turn into "your location shows you 0.3 miles from where you say you are and i trust it more than i trust you, you must be lying to me" this is my villain origin story

I have nothing to add to this. This is perfect. I'm literally inches away from stealing this and putting it in my after chapter memes.
The Kittisawats have such huge cat energy together, I love it.

not to shill for tumblr or be a mobile user on main but i do just wanna point out i think the response to the dashboard clown thing is a little disproportionate, all things considered
like if you just dont like the show thats fine but the way some of these posts are worded very weirdly and acting like its somehow way worse than.....literally any of the other ads? like yea tumblr is a company and not your friend, netflix is unethical and sucks. but like. are we pretending tumblr hasnt had ads for like. horrible fad diets and the fucking trump coin and god knows what else but like this really isnt worse than like. the fact that ppl with strobing triggers are constantly endangered by the ads on this site.
and maybe its super bad on desktop or something but so far this ad campaign has actually been one of the less obtrusive ones vs their other ads, imo. I dont think ive really seen them in between the posts on my dashboard? (hard to tell bc I try to automatically ignore those anyway) but like it feels like most of this ad campaign has been. a little fictional character at the top of the dashboard. and like. a separate dashboard "tab".....that i dont have to look at, and i dont. and its fine. i barely even noticed it. i probably wouldnt have thought twice about it if everyone hadnt started complaining about it. if tumblr wants to do more ads that are just dashboard tabs that I dont actually have to look at and arent interrupting my main dash i think im fine with that actually. like. obviously no advertisements are better than ads but like i dont have a particular problem with the structure or honestly even the content of this ad. its for a show that i might be intrigued to watch honestly. but its also not being targeted to me personally based on data harvesting its just blanket targeting to everyone.
again, id prefer no ads, but if we're going have them: i would actually prefer it be for things i might be interested in, but without the data harvesting to do it. if i HAVE to see ads, this is a way that i dont mind as much.

Feel free to not respond to this publically, or even at all, cause it's about something personal, but I just wanted to say that you are valid, your autism is valid, and your feelings about it are valid. Speaking as an autistic person here, I think that the only reason I wasn't upset by my diagnosis (other than the fact that I sought out a diagnosis on purpose) was because I had met and interacted with other autistic people here on tumblr. Before that, all my experience with autism and autistic people had been the general infatlization that is super prevalent everywhere. Treating autistic people like they're helpless or stupid or child-like.
So, what I'm trying to say here is that society has never painted a very good picture of autistic people (cough, functioning labels, cough), and that for lots of reasons diagnoses can be hard to swallow. But I hope you feel more comfortable about it now, and I hope you know that it's not a bad thing, and never will be. In fact, I will willingly say that most of the coolest people I know are autistic. (I'm totally not biased here, nope, not at all. /sarcasm)
Idk, this was really long and rambly, and I don't even know what my point is other than: your feelings are valid no matter what they are, but I hope that you can feel comfortable with your diagnosis at some point, even if that's not now. And if you ever need to talk about Being Autistic to another autistic person, I'm willing to listen.
Okay, that's all! I hope you have an amazing day/night! <3
thanks so much for reaching out :'( tbh all of this support is really unexpected and really overwhelming, but like in a good way lol. tbh my understanding of autism until somewhat recently (within the last few years) was really uninformed and stereotypical, so it was a huge process learning about what autism actually entails and how much i relate to all the symptoms, especially as they manifest in afab individuals. learning more about autism and about myself as an individual has been a very painful process, but it feels good too, being able to look back on my childhood with an explanation as to why i experienced life the way i did, why i have the insecurities i do, and how i can mend those feelings so i don't have such a painful relationship with myself and my autism. it just feels really great sometimes to have answers you know!! even if it makes me feel sad sometimes, because like i said earlier, a lot of my biggest insecurities are byproducts of my autism, and sometimes it feels like those are things i can't change, because autism isn't something you can cure--it's a part of me, something i embody.
thanks again for being nice!! i really love reading all these asks with peoples experiences, it makes me feel really nice knowing im not alone. autism rocks!!!!!!!!!!

thinking about how the Circles collapsing when dolores was a teenager (16) is such a pivotal moment for her bc ultimately it taught her that she could never go home again, that even if she settled down somewhere safe, it would always be temporary.
every time, she's proven again and again. every time she realizes that the only person worth trusting in is herself.
