Vamptober 2021: Day 18

There comes a day in every young vampire’s (un)life where they have come into their own and can protect their own territory. For lifetime floofagoof Sandy Shores, @theamishpirate‘s earth-magic and landscape-focused unicorn, and Oakheart-lineaged vampire under the tutelage of my batpony Moon Blaze, that day has arrived in today’s entry. This is a view into his future as a matured vampire, with his own beach and surrounding land to take care of. And apparently someone has run afoul...

Also drew some Honeybear for myself and @theamishpirate I was nostalgic for them and they are just very adorable snuggly ponys ;3; !!  Honey loves Bear and Bear loves honey and they snuggle quite often! I miss drawing ponies but not enough to run a blog again i think ;w;

Do you happen to know of any lists or personal tests that could be good for getting a self-assessment for autism? Not, like, something for self-diagnosis, but something that could indicate, "Huh! Maybe I ought to talk to doctor about this."

Do you play DnD? ;P

I kid, I kid. It’s one of those things that can be easy to test for and hard to test for at the same time? And then you add in how it can look very different, depending on your gender (but not always?). And then it can show up as this COMPLETELY different thing for one person, compared to another. And then there’s like... tests will describe it one way that doesn’t sound anything like what you do, but then you hear the testimonies of people who ARE autistic and you’re like “WAIT A SEC.” And THEN you add on how it can look very different in adulthood, having spent a lifetime undiagnosed, compared to as a child. Here’s a list of some usual traits, but I’d really recommend listening to personal testimonies. But here’s some of the reasons that I highly suspect I might have it and will probably bring it up with my doc.

Things I did as a child (some of which are still there, just subtler/quieter):

I got more upset than most children if a routine was upset. If routine changed or item moved from where it was “supposed to be”, I got really anxious. (Rigidity in routine)

I repeated kindergarten because my first year, I was not at the same emotional maturity as the other kids. (Delayed emotional maturity.)

I greatly preferred to play by myself. 

I was heavily teased for being The Weird Kid.

I had atypical interests compared to my peers.

I had a Thing that I would obsess over--sometimes for years. The Titanic, Egypt, unicorns and dragons, along with more minor ones sometimes. I could tell you like every fact ever about those subjects. (Fact: The Titanic was 882.5 ft. long.) 

Very heavy texture sensitivity. There were (and are) certain fabrics that I just CANNOT wear, because they irritate me or drive me crazy. Doesn’t feel good. (Kaj and I call these things Bad Feels.)

I didn’t talk a lot, but I was known for being very wordy as a kid. Advanced words. “Absent-minded professor” was my nickname because I knew a whole bunch of weird, niche facts about a subject and could understand the wobble of the earth’s axis in third grade.

Excelled in math and data and reading, tended to do poorly in more abstract subjects.

Did not make friends easily.

Tended to be the butt of jokes because I did not understand said jokes were about me.

Very sensitive to noises. I would complain about things being too loud that were perfectly normal to other people.

LOTS of trouble regulating emotions. I was the kid who could cry or yell at the drop of a hat, seemingly out of nowhere.

I was the Weird Horse Girl

Things that are and have always been true:

Maintaining eye contact is not upsetting, but is very uncomfortable for me. It usually either feels too intimate or too confrontational, I only really do it with people I know.

I’m sensitive to lights, and to clinking noises. Meltdowns as an adult look more like I’m getting really irritable, then getting really overwhelmed and having trouble concentrating, then needing to cry because I’m having a panic attack if it gets too bad don’t FUCKING TALK TO ME IT’S TOO MUCH.

Sometimes food textures are just too weird to eat. Especially vegetables. Don’t like crunchy vegetable texture.

I do stim though it’s usually more subtle. My most obvious one is a stim I call “Thinky/Thinking Fingers,” where I’ll be in the kitchen, and I just can’t help myself from wiggling my fingers while I’m looking through the cupboard or just. Looking around the kitchen trying to figure out what ingredients to get or food to make. I also like to chew on things.

I tend to do weird little movements like slapping my desk really fast when I’m excited, making lots of small bounces in place, getting excited and responding with some weird gesture instead of speaking (THEN speaking).

T-rex arms are a very common posture for me. (It’s just THING in autism sometimes.)

Absolutely never outgrew fixations and things I obsess over look at the AUs. 

I’ve done a LOT of practicing to be good at speaking and I tend to be the class clown, so it’s hard to see, but my natural speaking voice is very monotonous. Were it not for social anxiety/wanting to make people laugh, I would not be very expressive.

Some social cues or sarcasm still goes like right over my head.

Y’know, I know some of my followers have been diagnosed with autism, so if you want to comment/reblog either with your own experiences with it, or the symptoms that you were diagnosed for, or what brought your doctors/psychiatrists to the diagnosis, I bet that’d be really helpful! And then you can check back here, Amish, if they do. There’s underlying patterns that remain the same, but how they express themselves can look so different from person to person!

Summer Love: …my apologies. I didn’t know. I won’t ask you to fly, and you don’t have to return to the crime scene. There are other guests I’ve been talking with, after all. The clues will be uncovered, and we’ll find the one who did this. Please, go and get some rest. I’ll leave you be.

Mayia has returned to Peach for some head pats. She will no longer be answering questions for the Bunny Case. @ask-peach-kisses

Happy post-belated Birthday to @theamishpirate !  Have a Sandy taking a well-deserved rest at the end of the day

[theghostlymuse]

More art for @theamishpirate !

Getting so excited to be working on FriendQuest again, doing some character design sheets and that whole remaster rewrite. I dunno what kind of FQ world Sandy would find himself in, but in mine he gets some cool unique armor at least! He’s such a helpful guy I imagine him being a support/healer type and he’s finally found the mythical fossilized nautilus shell that is said to help give healers a boost! It’s a bit challenging to utilize it though...

Armor is based on modern diving suits, underwater flora/fauna, a dash of piratey garb, and the old timey metal diving suits!

Summer Love: Do you have any reference pictures for the Host? I've seen so little of him, it's difficult to compare the body to what we've seen before.

Here is the Host’s reference as drawn by @mymind-theirvisions You can also find images of the Host under #Host on this blog.

🌲🌿🌾 For Cammie, and/or Solo, depending on how much you want to write!

Cammie first, Solo second!

Cammie:

🌲 What is the kindest thing your OC has ever done for someone? What is the kindest thing someone has ever done for them? On the flip side, what is the worst thing your OC has done to another person?

The kindest thing someone ever did for Cammie is tricky. He's had many things done for him that can't ever really be re-paid. In rps, he's been essentially adopted by both @theamishpirate main boy Sandy as a brother, and @kajeaynart gummy gang as their next lil member. Outside of rps, I think it's honestly meeting Lucas as a little kid. That boy singlehandedly showed Cammie there was life beyond what was decided for him, and coming to meet him got Lucas in a lot of trouble, yet he kept it up for his friend trapped behind trimmed hedges. It's small, but it completely changed Cammie's life. - For the worst? When he ran away from home, he told nobody, including his Nanny Peppermint, who'd been caring for him all his life. She was beyond broken when he vanished, and she died before he could ever reconcile with her. He was a kid at the time, he wasn't trying to be cruel, but he was, and he regrets it constantly.

🌿 What is something true about your OC that they refuse to admit about themselves? Is there any reason to this besides embarassment?

He's cowardly. He tries to run from everything that he can't control and pretends it was never real. He wants to believe he's a grandiose man when he's really a selfish boy at times. He can't admit when he's wrong, because it would mean admitting the people he was oppressed by may have been right.

It's a tricky bag of marbles, but there's truth in it all both directions.

🌾 What would your OC be like if they were evil. Or if they’re already evil what would they be like as the good guy?

An evil Cammie is a very, very manipulative person. He still wants many of the same goals, but rather than abusing himself to mould his essence into what he needs it to be, he moulds everyone else around him, without caring how it affects them. And he's clever, he's always able to use words that never make him the villain but always make him the victim. Anyone speaking out against him would look like a monster, and he's aware of it.

He'd still be in great denial of many things, but the evil Cammie uses that denial to justify his every action and it lets him sleep at night, inside a bus that everyone else got run over by.

And now, Solo!

🌲 What is the kindest thing your OC has ever done for someone? What is the kindest thing someone has ever done for them? On the flip side, what is the worst thing your OC has done to another person?

Once again, RP has different answers! @techmomma and I have done a LOT of rps with Solo and their blorbos, so in order: Ed essentially adopting and helping them get into therapy, survive the reappearance of their abuser, and becoming the grandparent of their son. TB doing much the same but in a very queer and motherly role from a bit more of a distance Mom being their bff that holds them accountable Pet being their bff that lets them feel joy again Outside rp, canonically at 13 years old as a runaway with a brain damaged baby, they knew this was stupidly dangerous. There was a man, Antony, that ran these awful apartment blocks, and he was a mean sonovabitch. That crusty angry man let this random child and infant live in one of his studios for seven months, with rent being 'whatever was doable', though that was never formally agreed. He was a bastard, but he saved their life at an extremely vulnerable state.

Solo's done a lot of bad things. They've let others take the fall when they're the one committing the crime, they've pushed away people who care about them. TECHNICALLY, they tried to murder their abuser by hitting her in the skull with a cast iron pan, but I think that's forgivable in context. Also she didn't die so, who cares. To name a single thing, they probably pickpocketed someone, realised this person definitely needed the money, but still kept it because fuck that other person they've got their own shit to deal with.

🌿 What is something true about your OC that they refuse to admit about themselves? Is there any reason to this besides embarassment?

They refuse to admit they had a horrible childhood. From being a kid of 13 other kids in a cramped trailer, to being sold to a circus that for sure took advantage of them, to be kidnapped by a woman and [REDACTED] for years resulting in the birth of their son, to watching that baby get smothered with a pillow and only managing to revive him after the oxygen deprivation caused a stroke that resulted in cerebral palsy, to being a teenager with an infant on your own running away because you possibly killed the adult that captured you, to developing severe OCD and PTSD as a result of it all. If they admit that it was bad, then they're going to have to deal with it, and they'll have to let go of the few happy memories that they grip like driftwood in a storming ocean.

🌾 What would your OC be like if they were evil. Or if they’re already evil what would they be like as the good guy?

An evil Solo is using their brilliant charisma to work their way into a powerful position of love, adoration and worship. So much so, that it lets them get total revenge on everyone in their life, without facing a single consequence. They can crush anyone who dares to even think about stepping on them or their son, who they basically lock in a box to protect.

Good Solo is super flawed but wants good things. Bad Solo is super flawed and will hurt people to ignore that.

[techmomma]

Mebbe....Sky? What makes Sky happy?

smiles! genuine smiles. she loves seeing other people grinning ear to ear because they’re delighted down to their core.

watching people do something that she knows is really, really hard for them, but is good for them. small things, little acts of trust by people who have a hard time trusting, people who have a hard time speaking up for themselves making little boundaries.

the feeling of being in a flashmob or protest with many people united by a common goal

when you get that perfect smooth varnish when doing your nails in your favorite color

getting your eyeliner perfectly even
