#For my neurospicy followers

[thedvilsinthedetails]

I hate being high masking bc then ppl always assume ur absolutely fine even if ur not and as soon as you act ‘not fine’ because it actively gets too much and u can’t pretend ur fine anymore ppl get so pissed with you like you’ve suddenly turned into a completely different person and it’s like huh glad to know as soon as I’m not ok you hate me and as soon as I’m quiet you forget I exist thanks

I mean not being high masking is probably worse bc you get a lot more outward hate so I think the problem is just ppl being shitty

in the words of an autistic friend of mine who’s in a friend group actually full of neurodivergent ppl ‘get better friends, get friends who aren’t pussies’

Get friends who won’t take it personally if ur not at ur best, won’t ignore it or treat u like shit but also won’t constantly pester you like it’s something that can be controlled

So yeah for my neurodivergent moots, followers or just anyone who sees this post

get better friends, get friends who aren’t pussies

(obvi a lot harder than it sounds ik and it’s not ur fault if ur in a bad friend group but be aware that if ur friends don’t care about you when ur overstimulated or whatever it is, don’t care about all ur little tics and shit u need better friends, you DESERVE better friends)

also a reminder that mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, OCD etc are also all forms of neurodivergence, ur not just being dramatic and making it up. Ur brain works differently from other people’s.

(obvi everyone deserves friends that treat them right not just neurodivergent people but I’m just very aware of the fact that neurodivergent people often find themselves clinging to bad friend groups because we’ve essentially been conditioned to believe that it’s too needy to expect our friends to care about our neurodivergence and that it’s our fault for being too different. E.g. had a friend who told me to stop making neurodivergence my whole personality when I was on the brink of a mental breakdown - stayed ‘best friends’ with her for a year [she also constantly belittled me and treated me like I was stupid], and if ur being constantly told to calm down or talk less but the moment you do talk less you get ignored or [lirerally physically] pushed to the edge of a group, nuh uh honey that’s TOXIC)

actually yk what I might start doing a small series of posts or smth that reminds ppl what friends should actually act like bc I feel like a lot of people have too low standards and if ur the type of person who says ‘you shouldn’t have standards that you compare your friends to’ ur probably a problem friend

remember everyone is flawed and people and friends won’t be perfect all the time but if they’re never even TRYING then something is wrong

[mybrainrotyourproblem]

I'm so sorry if anyone ever gets spammed likes from me

I am simply hyperfixating and you probably are the gold mine for whatever niche has earned my autistic attention

[dysgeographica]

dysgeographica culture is getting hopelessly lost in big open world games like breath of the wild and minecraft…and also in smaller-scale games like animal crossing

Calling my neurospicy/ADHD/autistic siblings with a question:

How do you walk for fun/exercise?

Personally, I've realized that I actually hate walking? For decades I've been trying to force myself to enjoy going for a quick walk around the block because every piece of advice about physical and mental health says "just go for a walk 😊 it's fun and relaxing 😊 anyone can do it 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊"

BUT IT IS NEITHER FUN NOR RELAXING??!?

I present to you the following:

Every window you walk past has the potential for one or more sets of eyes. EYES THAT COULD BE PERCEIVING YOU.*

Hot. Cold. Rain. Wind. Allergies. Insects. INSECTS THAT FOLLOW YOU (fucking horseflies ugh)

Choices must be made. What clothes to wear? No you can't wear the shorts you're wearing because the thighs ride up. Go change. A hat?? Hats look dumb but counterpoint: sun is murdering your eyes. And shoes?!? WHICH SOCKS ARE RIGHT AND PREVENT BLISTERS BUT AREN'T TOO HOT ANSWER ME THIS

Chronic pain????????????

Okay I'm walking, I'm walking, look at the pavement, don't trip over that drainage grate, don't stumble on the loose gravel, god this is so freaking boring ah shit I rolled my ankle on the pavement did anyone see?? Why didn't I wear headphones but headphones are bad because I'm supposed to be enjoying nature™ and if I wear them I can't hear electric cars and I might get in an accident SHIT I rolled my ankle AGAIN

SO HOW DO YOU DO IT??? Are there tips and tricks? Do you just... not walk? Use a treadmill?? How do you make the treadmill not soul-suckingly boring????

(PLEASE no neurotypicals clowning on this post with any "advice" -- your statements have already been noted and accepted into the record. Autistic/ADHD rebuttals are what is being sought here thanks.)

*Do NOT give me that 'no one is looking at you' BS -- YES THEY ARE. I know this because I watch people walking by, and so does my mom and half the neighborhood.

At the risk of having the fire of a thousand angry hockey nerds upon me, I'm going to share the deep dive I did today. I'm going to preface this with this is driven by me being curious about rule and game mechanics, and wondering why reffing sometimes does what it do, especially when incomprehensible on first glance to me. (Translation: this is a hyperfocus neurospicy dive, not a "my blorbo did nothing wrong." My blorbo did do wrong.)

I was pissed at The Hit. It looked really bad. And then I also was wondering WTF the refs were on.

So I found a gif and broke it down into individual frames.

And: I think they were right. Müller's stick is what hit her head, and Flaherty herself didn't, and it was weird flukey shit that made it happen as bad as it did.

PAUSE. I ask you please not come at me without at least reading the whole post. And it's long.

First: I really hope Muller is not too badly hurt, and I am worried, and it was/is upsetting she got clocked so hard. I shit talk Boston because historical MN Boston woho rivalry, but omg I don't want to see anyone hurt. Ever. Especially head injuries. I've had multiple concussions, it makes me ill to watch.

Second: The hit Flaherty delivered was illegal. Period. Yes. Their bodies were not going the same direction. That is against the clarified body rules, and is normally a two minute minor. A penalty was absolutely warranted.

But. Frames and further dissection below the cut. Be mindful they're just as ugly and scary to look at in still frame as in action if not more so. That was your content warning, and please regulate yourself accordingly; I'm not accepting abuse here.

so, chronological key frames from the impact. Hopefully Tumblr don't fuck these up

Looking at the frames, Flaherty never touches Müller's head. She kicks her elbow up to deflect Müller's stick, which is headed straight for her throat because Müller is holding it high, but drops her elbow right before contact. The result is still ugly as it hits in the collarbone region which is so not a nice place to get hit, but it is not a major penalty the way a check to the head is.

The high stick catches on Flaherty, and Flaherty's directional momentum whips it up into Müller's head. Müller's head doesn't move until Flaherty is past her.

The collision is still on Flaherty because she initiated the illegal contact which started the whole thing. But the call was an illegal check to the head, which is a specific thing. And that rule reads:

Rule 48 – Illegal Check to the Head will automatically initiate a further review with the PWHL Central Situation Room, by which referees may confirm their original call, reduce the penalty to a minor if the hit was accidental, or rescind it entirely if the review determines the head was not the main point of contact.

In this case it was pretty clearly accidental since I don't think Flaherty was out there doing the physics of how to get the stick to whip. Her head wasn't the main point of contact *at all.* So them going in between the two extremes of the rule feels appropriate imo since the fallout was so bad even though the head wasn't a point of contact between players.

(As an aside, I was curious if they could change the penalty to "illegal body checking" and assess it as a major, because I could be sold on that being potentially could be appropriate, that it was a bad body check that resulted in injury, but if I'm understanding rule 20.6 correctly, the answer seems to be no:

"The Referee shall have the following options following such review: (i) confirming their original Match Penalty call; or (ii) reducing her original Match Penalty call to a lesser penalty for the same infraction."

If I'm wrong pls lmk!)

So with all that context... It makes much more sense how that shook out imo. Or at the very least I see how someone(s) could legitimately arrive at the conclusion they did.

I don't say this all to say what happened was ok, or that it wasn't bad, because obviously minor shit can escalate bad. I'm not even super interested in convincing people a suspension or major isn't/wasn't warranted though I'm uncertain how they would've managed it with not making a body check call in the first place.

I say all this because a)I do think sometimes refs see stuff we don't. (Was a ref looking right at them at an angle we don't have and can't recreate that was compelling? Did the ref hear the damn stick thwack into the helmet?) b) the conviction that the refs are rigging shit is utterly ridiculous and c) the vitriol I am seeing is unnerving and gross. Wishing injury on anyone sucks. Casting people/entire damn teams as evil and willfully trying to cause severe injury sucks, and the evidence isn't there imo when you put the bits together.

If the stick hadn't been there, it would've probably been a garden variety thuggy hit that absolutely warranted a penalty but would not have been so catastrophic. The kind of play we expect from a physical game.

But nasty unexpected hits are gonna happen. It's fast, it's rough. I'm glad the league is putting stuff in place to try and keep those moments down. But they're still going to happen, even with no evil intent or even overly egregious carelessness.

And again, I really, really hope Müller is ok and recovers well. I do expect her to be out a while (THAT will tell me more about the PWHL's commitment to player safety than anything,) but I hope it's as short as possible. It absolutely was scary and I get why people are upset; it is upsetting that it happened, regardless of how the rules shake out.

Hope you don't mind me info dumping my thoughts after watching newsreader and also reading some of your thoughts (I am so hyper focused on this show lol)

If Dale is neurodiverse, what sort of neurodiversity do you think he has? Is he a bit on the spectrum or ADHD? But then it would man that he would mask himself quite well, he's just a bit awkward.

Anna was very beautiful this season.

I never understood why Lindsay was so obsessed with Dale? It was very creepy

I know I shouldn't but I really want to diagnose Dale, like Helen is BPD, but I feel like Dale had mental health issues, but it could also be just him being repressive.

I am going to imagine that post s3 he gets therapy and gets together with Helen. He accepts he is bi too.

I have SO many thoughts when it comes to Dale being on the spectrum! A lot of it is my ‘neurospicy’ detector going off when I watch him, but joking aside, I think I see him as a neurodivergent character because he displays a lot of traits that are fairly common for people on the spectrum.

Disclaimer, I come from a family full of neurodivergent people, some with a diagnosis, some without, many with…‘characteristics’—myself included. I also study/work in a field that has me spending a lot of hours every day with people on various versions of this infamous spectrum, so while I am joking about having a neurospicy ‘detector,’ I am sensitive to neurodivergence, and often recognize it (and I’m usually right when I do).

Dale is socially awkward. Yes, I know, it sounds like a cliché, but it is an actual fact that social interactions are often hard when you’re neurodivergent. You’re just…slightly off, in a lot of situations. Dale takes things literally. He rehearses how he’s going to deliver lines, way beyond how he will be on camera, but with people too. The mirror thing he does? I’ve done it, and I know a lot of people on the spectrum do it, it’s a real thing.

Also, he hyperfixates. He’s got special interests—in this case, newsreading and journalism (since he was a very young child), to the point of it becoming his entire identity. He also likes rules, and following those rules, and fitting in boxes 🥲

You’ve mentioned masking, which is one of the main things neurodivergent people do, in an attempt to fit in with people and society. Very often, when you’re neurodivergent, the world around you makes you understand at a very young age that any odd behavior/responses you have are not acceptable; you’re often rejected/mocked for being awkward in social settings. So you learn to mask, without realizing you’re doing it. It’s a coping mechanism. Everyone does it to some extent, but autistic people do it on a whole different level—and it’s exhausting.  

(I’m continuing the rest of this TED Talk under a read more because I need to talk about season 3, so, SPOILERS!!)

Dale’s entire arc from season 1 to 3 is a form of masking. He says it himself in the finale “You would hate the real me, everybody did. So I changed him, and now, you hate him even more!”

He’s obsessed over his image, about how people view him, about needing to appear normal, may it be in his masculinity, in his sexuality, in everything that makes him HIM. So many of those horrible comments he listens to say something along the line of “he’s weird, he’s off-putting, there’s something stilted about him.” The harder he tries, the less “normal” he appears, and it makes him absolutely spiral.

Dale hitting himself in that heartbreaking scene in 3.06? To me it’s not just a physical representation of his self-loathing.

[article]

I’m no expert so I don’t want to extend too much on that and risk saying the wrong thing, but self-harm most definitely is a thing autistic people may do, especially when they experience meltdowns, which is when someone is so overwhelmed by a situation that they lose control of their behavior. To be honest, the whole first half of episode 3.06 is Dale’s inevitable meltdown from everything he’s put himself through this season—and everything that was done to him by ‘exterior forces’ (Lindsay on top of the list).

So to link back to another one of your point, Dale most definitely has mental health issues, too, due in part to his past traumas, the abuse he was suffering from at work, and the fact that he’s a neurodivergent (bisexual) human living in a neurotypical society. In a newsroom of all places! 💀

more hpcc performance notes of west end year 8⚡️(12/2/25)

I SAW IT AGAIN. I swear every I see the show I notice something different. Here goes my absolute feral thoughts:

🚂act 1: 

Albus gave Ron a very weak thumbs up after Ron’s magic trick lol 

Harry ruffled Albus’s hair on the platform when he told him to remember to enjoy himself, and Albus’s hair is COMPLETELY sticking up on the side, and then as Albus was going on the train Harry tried to smooth it down.🆘

Polly’s mean girl bully energy is DIVINE. 

Lily looking for her potions book in Albus’s room??? It literally never clicked for me before, but the reason she’s searching there is probably because she’s been studying in Albus’s room during the summer holiday?? Maybe even with Albus helping her with homework?? it’s so cute I cantttt! and the way Albus smiles at her when she said her wings are fluttery😭WE NEED MORE LILY AND ALBUS MOMENTS 

Fourth year train scene, Scorpius literally was just smiling and gazing out of the window as he waited for Albus to join him in their compartment. (As a contrast to how he buried himself in a book while looking ill at ease with himself in the first year train journey.) MY CINNAMON BUN NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED AT ALL COST, I WILL COMMIT MURDER FOR HIM

and OH BOY Albus and Scorpius were standing SO CLOSE on the train when Albus was telling Scorpius about his plan to save Cedric. (There is a thing called personal space. Albus makes a point about it with literally everyone else, but he forgets it exists when he’s with Scorpius.)

and that curtesy Scorpius did to Albus as he’s told he’s an enormous geek?? peak neurospicy behaviour

Scorpius fails to climb up the train on his first try, Albus gets in front of him and whispers “watch this” as he climbed 

THE WAY SCORPIUS GRABBED ALBUS in the Amos scene, when Amos took out his wand. It’s full-on man handling.

Scorpius/Harry touching Albus/Ron’s face when they first transfigured, and the literally pushing Albus/Ron’s face as he said “go to your room”. I AM NOT OKAY

Albus/Ron adjusting his voice to sound deeper lol 

Scorpius/Harry sounded so hurt when he asked Albus/Ron why he didn’t tell him about his argument with Harry 

Albus/Ron exclaimed at something as they were searching the bookcase in the ministry. Scorpius/Harry immediately screamed back without even knowing what it was about😭They’re both actually feral

OH AND THE WAY Albus/Ron growled at Harry as he was leaving the ministry?? I mean I think it’s a bit ooc for Albus, but boy it was so funny!

Ginny and Ron play fighting like kids lol they’re so silly 

the way Scorpius is so NOT ON BOARD with Albus’s whole stealing-the-time-turner plan, the way he’s anxious and scared as hell, but STILL FOLLOWED along with Albus? That’s true devotion and love. 

🚂act 2:

Albus staring at Scorpius when he was talking about how he longed to go to Hogwarts. Albus literally had stars in his eyes. HE’S SO IN LOVE. HE DOESN’T EVEN REALISE IT BUT WE ALL DO.

The intensity of their eye contact after Scorpius said “you’re my best friend”???? Hello?????

Tri wiz task 1, as Harry was being introduced, Jake as a slytherin student said to Jayden as another slygherin student “You’re not supposed to cheer, you’re supposed to boo him!”

“hOw mAnY owLs hAs hE sEnt yOu nOw??” Oh boy Scorpius was so jealous at Delphi. I’m cracking uppppp 

And also just how genuinely concerned Scorpius was when Delphi told him she was ill as a child. Scorpius has a heart of gold. He’s the most precious character in the entire HP universe, I accept no second opinion.

Library scene, the way Polly shushed Albus and Scorpius while holding up her book high in the air, she was sassy for real. THE AUDACITY of them to speak loud in a library?

*The audience gasping when Albus said “I wasn’t a loser until I met you.” * 

THE SCORPIUS LIBRARY MONOLOGUE hit like a freight train today. literally. so so good. I think I died about 6 times at this scene alone. (Harry Acklowe’s Scorpius is pure perfection.)

Draco literally was like “hehe” when Ginny said harry does most of the cooking. He’s so unserious!!

The way Myrtle pointed at Albus and death stared him down when Albus interrupted her crying?? Girl, literally same. 

And Scorpius’s nervous, awkward laugh when Myrtle was blocking him from entering the bathroom tunnel with HER LEG??😭

Oh the writing on the board in Hermione as DADA professor’s class is in mirror image. Never noticed it before!

🚂act 3:

“For Valerie Voldemort” - literally what is going on in Scorpius’s head for him to come up with that??? 

I’m probably completely deranged but someone needs to write a fic about a Scorpius and Craig ship in the Dark AU. (Dark AU Craig shares the same sincere, dorky and awkward energy with Scorpius.) (you can see the vision, right?!)

Snape pausing to process the fact that Harry named his child after him😭

“Have you been eating too many sweets again?” This line is so underrated! Emphasis on AGAIN. Just imagine all the sugar rushes Albus had to watch Scorpius go through before. 

The way Albus held on to Scorpius’s waist as he hugged him in the lake??? Hello???

When Scorpius was shrieking his head off at seeing everyone again in the lake, Professor McGonnagal actually pointed her wand at him. Honestly, I would too (lovingly)

The delivery of “Scorpius matters to me” was perfection. Ellis’s Albus is so, so good.

And the way Albus rolled his eyes at Scorpius in the dorm scene, when Scorpius was talking about how fearless and unanxious he’s become? So real. I would roll my eyes (lovingly) at Scorpius for that too bestie.

After Delphi said Albus’s weakness is love, Albus stared at the ground, then very slowly raised his gaze to meet Scorpius’s. OH GOD the sheer vulnerability in his eyes. 

After Scorpius got the first Crucio curse, Albus, without a wand and with his hands bound, was running towards Delphi head first. Was he trying to HEADBUTT Delphi💀

oh boy the little tremble in Albus’s voice in the maze when he said “She’s threatened to kill you” - I am unwell. 

Albus saying he’ll get an augurey tattoo too - well obviously he’s not gonna get one of that now, but imagine what tattoo he’ll be actually getting? WILL IT BE SOMETHING ABOUT SCORPIUS? 

Also Harry and Draco were both way too mean to Amos!!! I mean I understand it, but still. 

🚂act 4:

WHAT ABOUT THAT BREATHING EXERCISE THING?? It feels like Albus has done that for/with Scorpius hundreds of times before, because let’s be honest, Scorpius probably has an anxiety / sensory / information overload meltdown three times a week, and Albus would just co-regulate with him by doing breathing exercises every time. 

I need to read a fic about their 40 years hiding in a hole together. (does it exist already?? should I write it???)

Draco is so right with his enthusiasm for thatched roofs and farmer’s market, I love them too.

The way Albus buried his face in Ginny’s shoulder. Their bond is so beautiful to watch. 

“tHeRe’s pLeNty yOu’Re gOod aT, Albus!” Harry really tried😭

honestly act 4 is my least favourite?? is this controversial?? it just feels really rushed. they’re so many plot holes in this act too.

The way Rose giggled after the staircase scene in the end. SHE SHIPS SCORBUS FOR REAL.

Albus be retching at “I think it’s a bonding thing”, then ten minutes later he be saying “Scorpius is the most important person in my life”. Ah, the duality of mind. He’s so real for that.

What about a fic where Albus does become a professional pigeon racer?!?! WHAT THEN?!?!

This part is short because my concentration is just GONE at the end 

—

That’s it for the notes<3 I was low key hoping to see Scorbus covers as it was a mid week performance. But honestly? Harry and Ellis’s Scorbus is gonna be hard to surpass. It was my first time seeing Alex as Ron and Sabina as Hermione, they bring such a different energy to it!

Here’s the cast board:

[that-hippie-user]

Hi there! so, i'm looking to extend my demographic a bit. and to that end, i'm making an offer to any casual or vanilla audiences out there.

:3 my name is Luna Stardust. i'm a hypnotist. and while normally thats because i enjoy participating in the kinkier side of the community, i also practice for more wholesome means.

some of my partners are from religious homes that shamed them for certains ways of thinking. some are any form of neurospicy and wanted to let go of their cringe instinct to follow their hyperfixations shamelessly. and some are just people i know who need a bit of comfort and security in their life.

:3 if that is you, here's my offer. below is gonna be a "read more" tag. clicking on it will show you a simple hypnosis script i wipped together to help alleviate stress or shame.

the script is for reading, whenever you have time or a place to sit/lay down and relax to it, which will help you enter trance so that i may assist in letting go of some stuff you dont want.

and to be clear, hypnosis is NOT brainwashing. i cant make you do anything dangerous or unwanted. you yourself have the power to wake up on your own, say no to anything i say, or just walk away. you can even block me if you so choose, and i wont hold anything against you if you do.

:P the only potentially lasting thing will be a basic trigger phrase IF you desire it, which will make hypnosis easier if you ever wanna try again. this phrase will only work if said by someone you trust, including yourself if you wish, and will only work when you are in the mood to try hypnosis again. and if you dont want it? thats fine, im not making you keep it. you'll have the power to throw it out on your own if you wish.

^u^ with that in mind, come along if you like. :3 i'll be your host on a journey to self acceptance.

:3 and here we are, past the "read more" section

UwU i thank you humbly for joining me. and welcome you kindly.

:3 some of my followers have already done this with me before. if thats you, then welcome back. ^u^ and if you're a newbie, welcome also!

:3 the process for this couldnt be simpler. just get into a relaxing position, and take some time to read along.

as is said many times in the hypnosis community. "all hypnosis is self hypnosis." which is to say, YOU the subject are the one who's hypnotizing yourself. :3 hypnosis is ultimately just guided meditation. anyone can do it, even on their own. but its even easier with a guide.

^u^ even by choosing to read along with my words, we've already begun. you being here is a show of trust. logically, you wouldnt be here if you werent at least a little interested.

:3 well, i hope to prove worthy of that trust. so i will do my best to make this a good experience.

to start with, let's do some simple breathing exercises.

breathing in

and out

in

and out

in a simple steady rhythm.

not so deep to exhaust you.

and not too shallow either.

just getting into a cozy rhythm like unwinding after a stressful day.

breathing in

and out

as we continue forward

with every breath in, a soothing sensation fills your lungs and spreads through your body

and with every breath out, you release tension and stress, flowing out of your breath and away into the air.

and as this goes, you take in more and more feelings of relaxation, letting them wash over you, and you release the tension that holds you back.

but this puts you in a cycle.

you soothe yourself so you relax

you relieve stress so you relax further

you relax further so you feel more soothed

you feel more soothed so you relax deeper

you relax deeper so you let out more tension

the tension fades away, so you relax even deeper

this endless spiral of relaxation pulls you deeper and deeper

you see, hypnosis is an interesting thing.

it's kind of like a feather falling gently down.

down down down

further further yet further

into the deep deep depths

but there is no real bottom to reach

no ground to land upon

because with hypnosis, you can always go deeper

how is that possible?

because hypnosis isnt a light switch can only go on or off

hypnosis is an endless void that you can go endlessly deep into

easily escaped, easily traveled, and even easier to fall into.

and the deeper you go the more relaxing it is

and the more relaxing it is the deeper you go

and the deeper you go the more you listen

and the more you listen the deeper you go

and the deeper you go the more you focus

and the more you focus the more you listen

and the more you listen the more you obey

and the more you listen the more you obey

more and more you listen and obey

you listen and obey

listen and obey

listen and obey

listen and obey

DROP

there we go

nice and deep

but always able to go deeper

you listen

you obey

you listen and obey

you are doing wonderfully.

and as promised, i am here to help you let go of your worries and fears.

firstly, lets give you that special trigger phrase. its a very simple set of words. if spoken by yourself or someone you trust, it will help you enter trance. and it will only work when you wish it to.

these words are Hypno Naptime

when read or listened to, if you wish it to work and trust who said it to you, you will enter trance with these words.

Hypno Naptime. :3 simple enough, and its yours to keep or to throw away if you wish.

now then, lets continue our lessons.

too often people are burdened with shame for who they are. for any number of reasons. maybe some feel they arent smart enough, or feel guilt for liking people outside the dating norm, or even wish they could just enjoy their favorite shows without feeling "cringe" for doing so.

in our minds, we build barriers to hide away from aspects of ourselves, as if shame alone can fix us.

but these sorts of things dont need fixing, they arent wrong or broken. if everyone is unique, why shame them for being so? isnt that a beautiful thing, worth celebrating?

well, the thing is, we've already found a way to lift barriers.

letting yourself enter trance like this, that was lifting a barrier in itself. letting you listen more deeply to my every word.

if we can open you up like this. we can easily lift away those worthless barriers that hide away your wonderful features. we dont need to live in shame.

so, lets do our part to make living life the way YOU want to, that much easier.

before you is a button, simple big and red. pressing it lifts the barrier and reveals the shame behind it, which we will dispose of.

on my mark. press the button.

1. 2. 3. *click*

the barrier lifts, and we see what hides behind.

before you is an otherwise ordinary desk. filled with small well crafted objects representing the interests desires or traits that you needlessly felt were worth hiding away.

and on that desk is one object, broken and worthless, taking up space. it is shame.

it's an eyesore compared to everything else here. and it only makes the desk less organized by being here.

it serves no purpose, it has no value. this shame is best thrown away.

and nearby, is a bin with a trash bag, where you can throw it out.

the next choice is obvious.

on my mark, we throw this piece of junk away.

1. 2. 3. *it falls into the bag*

and there we go! and now this lovely little space is unhindered. its a beautiful sight, i dont see why it was ever tucked away like this.

such a lovely feature should be kept with pride, maybe even shown off if you have friends who'd appreciate it.

:3 i think id be proud to have something this nice. and i think you should be too.

^u^ well, we've made some good progress here.

:3 id say, now is the time for me to wake you from trance so you can continue your day.

^u^ so, im going to count to 10, and when i reach 10, you will awaken feeling refreshed and happy.

1 we begin our ascent up to waking

2 rising further an further

3 feeling coming back to your body and mind

4 shifting in place as you re-learn to move around

5 halfway there

6 like stirring from a cozy sleep

7 the soothing feeling of waking from a nice dream

8 eyes fluttering

9 becoming fully aware

10 rise and shine!

:3 hiya! so, i hope you enjoyed my little post. hopefully its done some good.

^u^ in case you're one of those subjects that forgets trance when it happens, we just did a simple hypnosis induction!

:3 if you have trouble remembering what we did here, the description for what this was for is at the top of the post, or if you back up its the section right before you hit "read more"

X3 careful if you re-read the whole post tho, beneath that section is a fully functional hypnosis script, and you may sink in again! :3 hypnosis is even easier once youve done it before.

^u^ if you're new to my work, you can give me a follow. but juuuuust be aware, i do cater to the kinkier side of furry communities. :3 might have a youtube channel with my own audio hypnosis later on, we'll see!

[toriwritesstories]

Just want to take a moment to ensure that anyone following me knows that this is a safe place for people of any and all (or no!) genders, trans and non-binary folks, as well as all disabled and neurodivergent people.

I keep things pretty light on social media because the world is fucking terrible and this is where I come to post about my gay ships and the stories I make up for them. I’ve been in fandom online since I was 12 years old (damn. 13 years) and I know how toxic it can get, and I try to keep that kind of stuff off of my accounts. And I always think my stances go without saying, but that’s not always the case.

I have so many loved ones who are trans, disabled, autistic, ADHD, or a mix of some or all of the above, and I am also my own flavor of neurospicy. There is a lot of hatred in the world toward us and the people we love and I don’t want my online space to include any of that. I thankfully haven’t seen anything transphobic or ableist on my feed, but I just wanted to make this post so that anyone following me who doesn’t know me personally knows how important these topics are to me. 💜🏳️‍⚧️

one of the tags I see/asks I get the most related to GIF making is “how do you GIF that fast?”

I’m by no means the fastest creator out there & it’s not a speed test anyway, even if it feels like it sometimes. that being said, I’m obsessed with efficiency & my neurospicy brain doesn’t like monotony. if there’s a way to automate what I don’t like so I can skip to the good part, I’ll find it.

there are a bunch of things I do that have streamlined my process over the years, but if I had to choose only one? creating actions.

the moment you find settings you like (sharpening, sizing, etc.), make. an. action. I don’t even want to think about all the hours I wasted before I figured out how to make them.

I created actions for the two GIF sizes I use the most: full size (540x390) & half size, or two GIFs side by side (268x400).

with one click in Photoshop- let me repeat, ONE- the following is immediately applied:

play speed is slowed (makes GIFs look better)

my video is converted to a Smart Object

my video is cropped

my video is resized

my sharpening is added (3 in total)

my noise layer is added

my watermark is added

my subtitle text is added (I still have to add the text, but the text box with the font I use is ready to go)

the adjustment layers I use the most are added, including Curves, Levels, Color Balance, Selective Color, Brightness/Contrast & Vibrance (after my action has run, I’ll manually add coloring presets I’ve already created from previous episodes, shows, etc. & tweak them as needed. no reason to reinvent the wheel)

with all the repetitive work done for me, I can focus on the thing I love most: COLORING 🌈

it’ll take a minute to learn how to create your own actions, but I swear it’ll change your life!

Solarpunk Colossus.

When the ancient ones awaken to help out humanity with their climate problem.

This was a piece I've been wanting to do for ages and @stimpunks helped me make this a reality! So thank you so much for this commission! All of my neurospicy friends should definitely check out Stimpunks and give them a follow!

I just wanted an excuse to blend Solarpunk with fantasy art really.

The idea is that an environmental research facility was unwittingly built upon the back of a sleeping earth colossus due to the unique flora and fauna of the area, only for the colossus to suddenly awaken. The behemoth made an agreement with the scientists that they may stay on its back, but only on the condition that they treat the isolated ecosystem with respect and that their research will help heal nature and bring about a world where humans and nature live in harmony again.

The research facility itself is constructed from entirely sustainable materials and is a blend of iron-age and modern architecture. The scientists must stick to strict limestone paths so not to erode any of the earthy areas. Some locations cannot be accessed by foot and are therefore drone-only. The entire facility is powered by those airborne turbines (I probably added more than there needed to be but they look pretty haha).

Here's some concept art for the colossus. I made him a lot less grumpy in the final piece. He has six legs on account of him being extremely front-heavy and he has little tiptoeing ungulate feet. I also worked a lot of fossil motifs into his design, plus I imagine the wooden structures that make his antlers are so ancient that they have started to petrify. I want this creature to feel truly ancient. His face is also inspired by "the green man" a little bit.

The scientists have nicknamed this colossus "The Wean" (Wee one) on account of him living off the coast of Scotland.

Oh and before anyone asks... yes, this was at least a little bit inspired by "Shadow of the Colossus." I'm not going to hide my influences ^^'

If you want to see more Solarpunk or fantasy art from me, please consider donating a Ko-Fi! Even a small amount really helps, especially with how difficult things are for artists right now.

Spoilers for those who haven't read the update:

It's fucking amazing jst btw!!!!!

I honestly would love to know what i can call you because you need to be addressed for this.

YOU ARE A GODDAMN GEM OF A WRITER.

i had so much to say, like how each of the agents' responses to MC killed me, but in particular, T is an ass for calling my poor mc a parasite. Like i didn't do shit to you !

Also Raine's bit was adorable and them fighting with T just is the best thing ever. It was extremely funny.

Ps i still don't trust Hunter for all the money in the whole world. Hunter makes my spidey senses tingle. Creepy pushy weirdo 😒

Then comes Umbra. Why in the world did that whole interaction make me want to cry. Like, i got so emotional. Umbra makes me so sad for some reason. You really translate so much emotion in your writing, and it really hit me.

The whole update was beautifully written. I did find some typos i can send you privately if you need me to but they were few and far between. And did not take away from the reading experience at all.

But seriously, no joke, i literally just need you to know you're a wonderful writer, and I'm so in love with this IF I'd probably cry if you decided to discontinue it one day, god forbid. But sorry. I rambled so much in this ask. I just wanted to share my excitement, and i truly am just such a fan of yours it's crazy.

Thank u 💓

Thank you 🥺🥰 I love receiving messages like this, but I get all shy as well, haha 😅My anxiety demands I keep some semblance of anonymity, but if you like, you can call me Ella or El. Close to my real name without the baggage, haha.

I had a lot of fun writing the scenes from the team's perspective. So I just know it will be fun when everyone is in the same room. The team already has a pretty strong dynamic between them, so throwing MC, N and Umbra into the mix is going to be... chaotic.

I hadn't intended to add more Hunter so soon, but I do enjoy writing the bastard so I figured why not, lol. It'll make ch4 even more messy.

Yeah, Umbra makes me very sad, too. Translating emotion is one thing I get quite paranoid about, so it makes me happy to see it hitting home for you 😭

But yes! Please do DM me the typos. I try to be thorough, but sometimes, my hands type faster than my brain can catch up. My neurospicy brain needs me to follow a trail when I have one, or I risk losing it and never finding it again.

Thank you so much for sharing your ramblings ❤️ It means so much to me.

Random shifters on Tumblr: shifttok is so stupid. Theres so much misinfo and *insert other complaints that keeps getting repeated*

Me, a shifter that originally started on tiktok (and cant keep their fyp consistent bc their neurospicy brain can't focus on one thing): Ooh that cake looks pretty!

I want my soul to look like this cake

No but seriously I hardly see shifting content on tiktok unless it's my moots posting their art or have chosen to follow (which is very few now) so I just grimace whenever people post stuff like that on shiftblr bc it reminds me of my own early shifting days where I didn't know shit and only wanted to see pretty art. I only got exposed to "bad stuff" because I once followed a ton of "popular" creators back in the day. And gradually unfollowed because of drama between people or they're zionist

TLDR:

Keep in mind that you'll see stuff you interact with or choose to follow. Not everyone on there is "from a cult" as I've seen a select few say. Nobody's forcing you to engage other than your own algorithm. Block and move on like you do on here. It's not that different from any other social media. The echo chamber that keeps going on shiftblr is near equal toxicity as antishifters on tiktok. Do better

Heyyyy…

hey im still figuring out what i wanna be called but for now u can call me Jamie if u want I’m genderfluid as fuck [they/she/he or whatever idegafatp]

neurospicy bitch

writing request status: OPEN FOR MICROFICS RN

I’m a rosekiller loverrr but also a multi shipper so u never know what ur gonna see ig [but probably Rosekiller, Wolfstar, Dorlene, Starchaser maybe some sunkiller if I’m in the mood etc] for the record just bc I don’t ship smth doesn’t mean I support hating it even as a joke [translation: prongsfoot is chill leave them be]

if u don’t like smth, just ignore it, if u send me hate I’ll reply w shitty jokes probs

my dream job is to be an actor [screen actor specifically]

Media I like:

Fav TV stuff: Challengers, Gravity Falls, Cruella, 10 things I hate about you, into the spiderverse

Fav author is @neil-gaiman also that man is my idol so I’ll probs reblog him a shit ton [do u think he’ll like…mind that I tagged him? Sorry if this bothered u Neil!!!] Music [uhhh changes all the time tbh but for rn]: The Neighbourhood, Olivia Rodrigo, Conan Gray [Kid Krow phase rn], Chappell Roan, Renée Rapp, Green day, Ricky Montgomery, NOAHFINNCE, MARINA and Hozier

Spider-Man. Fucking love Spider-Man.

One thing to note about me tho: obvi I love recommendations but I find starting literally any new forms of media really fucking daunting for no reason [this is everything: songs, movies, books etc]

e.g. I fucking love spider verse but I still haven’t watched movie 2, same w latest season of young royals, same with even like ONE song alone I find it rlly hard and really scary

so if u give me recommendations and I don’t get back to u about them for ages it’s not bc I forgot or i was ignoring u but bc I find it scary so pls be patient :)

also same w please don’t like assume I’m knowledgeable about like any of the music artists I named earlier bc tbh I don’t rlly listen to artists I listen to songs [im still a fan of a lot of music artists ofc but the artists I listen to ≠ the artists I’m a fan of]

HI! welcome to my crazy blog, I love making friends im not at all scary I promise :D

Btw my inbox is ALWAYS open for spam, ship ramblings [even if it’s not smth I ship], info dropping about ur hyperfixations, venting, questions etc. [the only thing is no illegal ships bc it will be ignored] also sorry pre warning im shit with the inbox chains [‘send this to ten people who…’] so often I won’t answer those sorry, anything else I will make sure to answer but the chains I sometimes just forget about sorryyy

Hello my ADHD neurospicy friends of tumblr!

I am doing research for a design so please help a girl out and reblog for larger sample size!

[actuallyadhd]

hi! i’m a 16F with anxiety and adhd. i just got diagnosed with adhd last week, but i’m terrified that i somehow got misdiagnosed. i don’t know how to shake the feeling that i’m secretly a bad person for ever questioning if i have adhd, because what if everyone’s wrong. my symptoms are a lot more subtle than the other neurodivergents in my life and online, so it’s frustrating since i don’t feel like i fit in with neurotypicals, but i don’t feel like i’m “adhd enough” to fit in with neurodivergents. sorry, this just turned into me venting 😅 but do you have any advice as of what to do?

tldr: what do you do when you don’t fit in with neurotypicals or neurodivergents?

Sent May 31, 2024

Impostor Syndrome, nice to see you back again, thanks for coming! Now, get out.

I am first going to reassure you that if you were formally diagnosed with ADHD, then you probably do have it. Since one of the diagnostic criteria is that your symptoms are disrupting your life, it doesn't matter how "subtle" they are. If they're causing you serious problems, then that counts.

If you're feeling like you don't fit in because you don't seem to struggle in the same ways as the other neurospicy people you know, that's okay. It's important to remember that we're all different. ADHD affects all of us slightly differently because we're all different people with different life experiences.

I encourage you to poke around a bit in the "actually adhd" tag. The internal experience of ADHD is what really put me on the right track in the end; basic descriptions of symptoms didn't do it for me, but when I started reading about the life experiences of other ADHDers, I started seeing myself all over the place. That's what convinced me.

You are absolutely welcome here regardless. I am not worried about whether you "really" have ADHD or were misdiagnosed. I am worried about your ability to manage your life. And while medication can help with that, it's not the be-all/end-all some people think it is. You still need strategies that work with your brain, and you still need people in your life who understand how your brain works and who are willing to try and support you and your brain. That's what I try to provide.

Followers, do you have any words of encouragement to offer this Anon? Have you felt like you didn't fit in with other ADHDers? Let's talk about it.
