When you start unmasking and actually get in touch with your mind and emotions, you suddenly realise how much stress you go through on a daily basis.
Youre not weak or stupid or less than NT people in any way
You're so strong for making it this far at all

Auctober: Individualism.
This one is late, and I was gonna do the whole month, but let me explain.
This comic is what made me survive October. About a week ago I was forced to go no contact with my entire family, for 2 years, because they couldn’t respect me or my boundaries. I held on to this, my truth, as I struggled to deal with their abuse. Abuse I hadn’t been able to truly recognise until the past 6 months, that all came to a head now.
It has been a… revelation, let’s use that word. It’s been a revelation to realise I’ve grown up in a family I specifically wasn’t allowed to be disabled in. The ableism was so hard core it arcs into ego and narcissism.
I wasn’t allowed to have needs or wants, I was expected to be independent even though it was obvious to everyone outside my family that I needed support, and help. And if I wasn’t, I was shamed, controlled, ignored, dismissed, invalidated.
And while the pain of going no contact with those I truly, honestly believed supported me the most has threatened to bury me, I now hold onto my self. I hope and trust that there’s something in me that can help others. It’s my self that is my oxygen mask, in the darkest night.
I’ve never had that before.
AND IT’S AMAZING.
Also as a 2nd year art student this is my first comic.
@autiebiographical ran the month of Auctober! Thank you.

Witchcraft Practice & Disability
Tumblr media
I have often struggled and grappled a lot with the concept of my practice being able to co-exist with my disabilities. I have been practising witchcraft since before I was made aware of my disability, but my disability sure themselves aware throughout my practice.
From being unable to get up, plan or do Anything for major events and days, to the simple mundane task of going up to my altar and saying thanks to all my spirits. Every single task was dictated or rather, negated by my disability and my being unable to function or do anything.
The only discourse for the same is a persistent reminder of, "meditate everyday only then are you a witch," "you cannot be a witch unless you have a daily routine and do something everyday" and the list just goes on.
When will we are a collective talk about how such ideas are rooted in sheer ableism and the capitalistic idea of constantly working and being active? Rest is objectively a part of the cycle of nature, periods where we flourish and are active and others when we rest.
Why are we not allowed to extend the same to our bodies and our spirit?
And this is not to say that all spirits and deities you will be working with, will be okay with you vanishing for months on end. Unfortunately promises and oaths made to the spirits do not follow the same rules for disabilites. THere are deities and your spirit team that might excuse you and give you that time, but not every spirit you make a contract or contact with are obligared for the same. They are not obligated to stay or do anything in the period that they are not being fed or given something in return. And that is okay. That is why we bite how much we can chew.
But that is in very specific situations, with very specific spirits. you are not ruining yourself or your practice by not being active for a week or for months.
Your disability does not make your practice "armchair witchcraft" (i really bloody hate that phrase).
You are allowed to take breaks. You are allowed to come back later. You are allowed to mourn being unable to practice when you wanted to. And you are allowed to ask for grace and time from your spirit team and deities.
You practice is your own and it is horrifying the policing other, non-disabled, able-bodied and neurotypical witches feel entitled to.
If you are one of them, clearly, this space and post are not for you. If you do not understand how people go months and years away from their practice, then this is also clearly not for you.
I want to talk more about what can be done during the major periods of breaks, and what not to do. This is not to throw shade at the posts that talk about - pulling 1 card from your bed because sometimes even the energy for that is lacking. (and that is for future posts)
We are disabled. We have needs. We will take up space.
And a special fuck you for the people who believe that taking medications will "hamper" your intuition.
I would love for other disabled witches to also share about their experiences and how they navigate these periods <3
Happy witching to you and a protective period of Samhain for your loved ones ✨🎃🍂

Having my nightly ADHD moment so bear with me:
If Rapunzel were to dye her hair, would the chemicals affect the magical properties of her hair?
This is taking into account the fact that her magic derives from the sun essentially, which then becomes a flower. Taking those chemicals into account, if we were to interact those chemicals with the chemicals of hair dye combined with hair as is, I’m just wondering what the effects would be.
I’m no chemist; in fact I almost failed chemistry. So if someone who knows chemistry could help me out here that’d be great!
EDIT: my discord friends are bringing up great points such as hair damage and how it varies.

You know. I really and truly understand Jekyll’s horrible self hatred.
Because Hyde has ADHD.
A that means that before they split, Jekyll had ADHD.
And I have ADHD to know what that feels like.
I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s livable. It’s has enough advantages. It’s my favorite part of being alive. It’s also a fucking curse, and sometimes it makes me spiral into despair and shame and listless, bitter self loathing.
I don’t even believe it, but I sometimes find myself huddled in a ball muttering over and over again how I’ve failed to do anything significant with my life, and how I’m a worthless, horrible person. That everyone would be right to be disappointed in. That it’s not my fault that I’m losing the race, I’m just deficient and made wrong. ADHD doesn’t make you feel like that, but the consequences of having it do.
It’s like. It’s like if you gave one guy all the advantages of ADHD along with all of the side effects, but then you made some other guy do all the masking for him and carry all the emotional consequences. Which is literally what’s happening, I guess. (Almost like being a parent holding it together for a child. He is a lot of work and cannot do much for you, but you can’t very well just get rid of him.) Nobody should have to deal with the trauma of growing up with ADHD without also having all the advantages that make it worth it. All the resilience and zest for life and energy and thrust and exhilarating appetite and joy that comes from deep within your soul perpetually.
Of course Hyde is, himself, starting to scrape the surface of that “all of my fire and everything that I am has actually amounted to nothing” flavor ADHD trauma now. Would you look at that, he’s growing up.

I will say the one thing that my adhd meds do that I will never get used to is the cognitive time dialiation, meaning when I am on my meds I am far more aware of everything and that causes me to actually take in how long things end up taking and that causes my days to feel like they last SO much longer than when im off my meds.

Why I think Klavier Gavin is Neurodivergent (either ADHD or autism or both)
First and most obvious : he's too much of a “perfectionist” on specific things but I think it's more of an issue with control it's very important for him to control his emotions, his performances and the events happening (4-1,4-3,4-4) he's freaking out if something important to him ,but not always for others ,doesn't go as perfectly planned or his routine is disturbed (this can also count as Kris's influence) as seen mostly in turnabout serenade.
I think he has a special interest in music. It's easy, it's lazy but eh it works.
He seems to experience sensory issues , referring to his “disbelief” sprite where he's covering his ears and shaking his head (can also count as a trauma response and probably is too) the sound accompanying the sprite is also an irritating guitar noise and the whole bit can be interpreted as a meltdown or overstimulation.The sprite is pretty realistic.I've seen many neurodivergent people do this exact thing (and I'm currently studying specialized education so I'm learning about them everyday lol) same thing with the sense of overstimulation.
Your room is a representation of your mind and after seeing his office i get it–
it's not THAT disorganized but there are multiple folders and papers on the ground ,his “desk” and sprouting out of his locker, there's also evidence on his desk chair,,, overall it's a solid representation of his disorganized mind (btw this is from real studies in psychology) also that's not a fucking desk that's just a speaker with cloth on it I can't with his dumbass.
The only pristine things in his office are his music related mementos so his special interest. And water for some reason which is impressive bc neurodivergent people often forget to eat or drink when deep in the grind (guilty).
His massage chair is peak ADHD! It's ergonomic and has a keyboard (clavier hehe) so he can sit comfortably for hours multitasking (working and playing plus his TVs) which is relatable to the ADHD experience, you either can't do multiple thing at once or you can use a distraction to help you doing your task.
I feel like his persona is a bit like masking, he learned what a basic rockstar is and leaned into that pre made persona to fit in but spoiler alert you can't keep your rockstar persona around people who aren't fans or when the context isn't appropriate because this mf air guitars in court … also did it in 4-4 when he was done being tormented by Kristoph, he puts on his persona , his mask to deal with a situation he normally can't handle and its observable before he confront Kris : he's clammy , quiet , overstimulated he's basically having a shutdown from intense emotions and horrible realizations.
✨ Probably just reaching ✨ :
His headphones in his teen concept art and official illustration + cover art illustration. This is probably because he's tied to music and promoting headphones but since I live 24/7 with headphones for noise regulation I just assume he also does this for it.
This is so dumb and not true at all but his finger snaps and air guitar bits are stimming bc why the hell not ?!
All of this is tied to the AuDhd experience from actual studies , multiple experiences from neurodivergents folks and me :)

I love that most of bandom AO3 has started referring to When We Were Young Fest as "DILF Fest"
I am glad we have all established this collectively as a hive mind.

If you are apologising for something, do not explain your actions unless asked to do so. They think you're justifying & excusing what you did, even if you explain that you're not.
