#ND theories

[drewlyyours]

Currently fixated on the implications behind the secret passage in The Final Scene that leads from the Men’s Dressing Room to a (easy to hide in) wardrobe in the Women’s Dressing Room… I do not like that.

Nancy Drew Games: analyzing shocking theories (Part 3)

White Wolf spoilers ahead!

White Wolf – Yanni killed Lou – Unsure

There was a theory surrounding Lou Talbott's disappearance.  It said his stuff was left in his room and that Yanni might've killed him before framing him.  Ever since seeing this theory I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.  There’s not really anything to either debunk or prove this theory so I guess we’ll never know.

Some people said that maybe Lou was just in a hurry to leave after Nancy exposed him for stealing, but I still think it’s pretty weird he left all his stuff behind.  Especially if his beloved snowshoes were among the things he left.

I wouldn’t put it past Yanni since he left Nancy at the needle, knowing it was going to blow up.  So Yanni insisting he “never meant to hurt anyone” doesn’t really ring true.  Though, with all the confusion surrounding the ending, who really knows what Yanni’s plan was.

hey do any other autistic/nd people in general have trouble pronouncing the letter r? i have a theory and i want to test it

The real reason behind Nancy’s next ghost:

um uh uh um. so. did anyone else used to follow Nate Stevenson's D&D campaign drawings back in the day or-

so like, i think an interesting neurodivergent trait for grian would be picking.

not all.. stims are positive, unfortunately? i have experience with picking and it comes from both a stim and anxiety

but! wings can get super super itchy when unkempt. if he goes through molts and can’t get the casing of feathers all the way off they build up, and some birds can’t reach certain feathers which is why birds help each other.

and birds are very well known to pull and pick and scratch at feathers when stressed or anxious or for many reasons

That’s true !!

I think he had a lot of negative stims in s6 due to stress and trying to live on his own again after the Watchers.

I think he picks at his wings and bites his fingers, it’s a bad mix rly.

ive got the highest nd utmost respect for those who are able to finish their fanarts and fanfics abt these two bec i CANNOT draw anything related to them let alone finish it

[drewlyyours]

Nah, now they’re messing with us.

For most, consideration of this Nothingness for any length of time is profoundly distressing. In fact, it is arguably this discomfort with the purportedly “empty space of autism” that energizes most autism intervention; fundraising, clinical research, and applied therapies are guided by what is typically seen as autism’s massive, imposing incomprehensibility. Certainly, autistic people sometimes hurt themselves, and those connected with autistic lives will often explain the need for intervention within the context of self-harm, but it is the larger rhetoric around mutism and social and conversational disconnectedness that drives most clinical autism discourse, an infinite well of figuring and explaining, resisting the existential aspect of autistic presence and expression and generating metaphors of fortresses, battles, kidnapping, and puzzles.

How. How does one make good character design and pleasant color palettes. How to make a color palette without reusing colors. How to make patterns or designs?? 😭🙏

cracks knuckles. you see theres but one trick i reuse over and over.

✨color theory✨

(well, at least i think it is. i never learned this stuff properly, so i dont have names for these things)

its gonna get a little long so ill put all of this below the cut, but tldr be aware of certain color combos relating to their positions on the color wheel + remember scales (??? they prob arent actually called that erm) + fuck it we ball with markings

OKAY SO im typing this at 1:21 am on my phone and my right eye is hurting so pls forgive any typos and mistakes, and if i sound like i know my stuff but i dont PLEASE point it out to me so i can correct myself ;;;;

first of all, color combos. yes, all the stuff u learned in grade 5 art class actually works.

take a look at this bad boy. (i use autodesk sketchbook to draw, not ibispaint, but its the same on both programs)

color combos are always relationships between any given color with other colors based on their positions on the ring around the diamond.

for example, complementary colors are always opposite each other on the ring.

i use this for opah (my oc)’s design, with her dark blue-green and orange.

(as far as i know color combos dont care about the diamond in the middle, just the ring, so the actual colors themselves are pretty flexible)

(bonus auklet)

theres a lot of other combos besides complementary but you can research that urself, ill just provide an example if i have one of the most common ones

—

triadic

ermm i actually dont use this one very much so im just gonna put a hilda (which is an AWESOME show that has INSANE color theory)

(this isnt technically triadic but its the best example i have and vaguely in a triangle trio formation okay…….)

—

analogous

this is my FAVORITE combo ever, because it lets me stay in the strict wof tribe color range while still being interesting. honestly u could take any design of mine and 99% chance theres analogous in there

if u wanna know more combos just google color theory schemes, theres more than i could ever remember and i dont really bother to use them all; for wof, i usually just stick with analogous and complementary.

uhm i dont know if tumblr has a word limit but i dont wanna make this too long so i shall reblog with part 2 soon !!!!!! (if u dont hear from me in the next hour i fell asleep)

[iamshmolphrog]

you know the spoons theory? like, everyone has a certain amount of spoons per day, (spoons being the energy/ability to do tasks) but disabled people tend to have much less spoons than the average person? is it just for people with physical disabilities or like, chronic illness, or does it go for things like autism and adhd as well? for example, everyone has a certain amount of spoons until they have a meltdown but autistic people generally have really few spoons compared to a nt person?

!! THIS IS A GENUINE QUESTION !! THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE OFFENSIVE BUT IF IT IS PLEASE TELL ME !! THANK YOU !!

We’re all in agreement that Sonny ran away from his internship after convincing a drunk Minette to get an alien tatted on her face, right?

Nancy Drew Games: analyzing shocking theories (Part 2)

Danger by Design spoilers ahead!

Danger by Design – Minette and Sonny had a romance – False

While I do think Sonny could’ve had something to do with Minette’s tattoo, I don’t believe there was anything romantic going on with them.  Knowing what Sonny is like in The Shattered Medallion, and knowing what Minette is like, I can’t honestly see Minette having the patience for Sonny's antics and ramblings.  And Sonny seems to have an equally poor opinion of Minette.  In his notes he writes “Mean-ette” and seems to make fun of her that Carol (the dressmaker dummy) is her only friend.  He says other unfavourable things and draws her unflatteringly.

If anything, maybe Sonny left some of his drawings lying around and Minette got inspired by the alien aesthetic.  We know from Sonny's notes that he was leaving Koko Kringles everywhere around the studio so I wouldn't be surprised if some of his drawings also ended up in Minette's hands.

I do think there’s a high chance that Sonny was working there around March, based on the details we know about the timeline.  Minette started wearing the mask in March.  And we know Minette broke up with Dieter in April, which was an event that Sonny drew in his notes.  Okay, so we know that Sonny was definitely working there in April.  The Dieter drawing wasn’t the first of his doodles, so it does seem like a possibility that he was working there a bit before then, in March.  (Although, Sonny makes it seem like Minette broke up with Dieter in-person, when she actually broke up with him in a voice mail.)

So to sum this up, I feel like Sonny probably did have a hand in the alien tattoo, but I’m not entirely sure why people jumped to a romantic connection between Sonny and Minette when it’s canon that Sonny is not a fan of her.  Also, I assumed Sonny was closer to Bess and Nancy’s age, around 18, while Minette I assumed was older than that since she’s already made a name for herself in the fashion industry.  And we know Minette kind of has questionable morals but I don’t think she’d be interested in a lowly teenaged assistant.

what should have been tbh ,

[iei-madcorner]

Daily reminder that being autistic or nd in general is not a core fear/motivation. It doesn't make you a type 5 the same way having adhd doesn't make you a 7.

Different brain structure =/= core fear.

In any case it will make you look a bit different from other people your type, but claiming autistic people are 5's (who are the way they are because of avarice sin) is the bigget ableist bs i've ever read. Please enneagram community do better.

I wanna take every single Big Bang Theory fan who thinks that Sheldon Cooper is an accurate, universal representation of neurodivergent people and give each of them a DS and a copy of The World Ends With You and instruct them to play the entire story. I won't even tell them why. If they can't figure it out themselves then it's their own damn fault.
