thinking,,,,,,,, darling who has a cryptic pregnancy....... [insert twst character here] reacting to it,,, maybe you and floyd and you're both a little dense because neither of you could have ever guessed. T_T

"what do you mean you were pregnant this whole time???? i thought shrimpy just got softer. :D" - floyb mindset.

in floyd's defense, he has no idea how human pregnancies work. he slept through that part of land boot camp!!! fell asleep the minute the professor started droning on about how humans don't lay eggs like mers do. jade can only chuckle (maybe he knew, but in classic jade fashion he won't tell because it's much more entertaining to sit back and watch everyone slowly figure it out) and azul is shaking his head in disbelief. had he known, he would have prepared well in advance to lend a helping hand. and you're just so amazed because maybe you were told you're unable to get pregnant, but somehow it happened and you had no idea all this time.

thank you to floyd and his mer virility for doing what was thought to be the impossible!!!!!! <3

I recognize how much of an effort and an improvement getting out of the house at all can be, believe me, but there's something funny when someone is saying, "my lack of funds fundamentally robs me of having any life experiences whatsoever, and overwhelming traps me in my house", and someone goes, "have you tried wandering around a park for a little while, that's free 😁". Like, I know that's objectively a little better, but I have to admit, a patch of grass doesn't exactly do it for me.

This guy just admitted why most men want kids, they want clones and any kids that have different interests can vibe with the other parent (mom).

Only a fucking pick me would give a dude such advice.

She could have suggested asking his sister what are the kids into before he next time he babysits. She could have reminded him that if he wants kids he better prep himself to deal with the birth to preteen stage stages. She could have reminded d him that even if he does have bio kids there's no guarantee that they will share interests. She could have also reminded him that using iPads to pacify three year olds isn't going to work on a day to day basis when/if he has his own kids.

Unless his plan to be he fun cool dad and leave mom with the grunt work.

Sanji: What is love?

Franky: An emotional minefield.

Jinbe: A neurochemical reaction.

I always enjoy it when people come up to me while im drawing as long as they're nice about it, and especially kids. And while the last two weeks only seemed to have obnoxious parents (at one point a kid was pointing like 'i want to be able to that!' and their parent replied 'you can't' and i was like ???? Wtf), this week there was a mom and two daughters who were really interested in art and were standing behind me while i sketched for a long while. Neither of the girls could have been much older than 10, and they were super shy, and were asking their mom questions, and i answered one of the questions. And the mom laughed and said 'see, she can hear you, don't be afraid to ask her questions!' and then i turned around and introduced myself a little and explained what i was drawing. And then they just stood and quietly watched me draw for like ten minutes, it was so sweet. 🥹

My mother is dropping hints that she wants to move in with me after she retires in a few years which is extra fucking crazy because I live in a one bedroom apartment with my spouse and am nowhere near in a financial position to purchase a house so what does she think is going to happen? Someone sleeps in the fucking living room? I pull the money for a house or a bigger apartment out of my ass?

Also I'm not her best option by a long shot? Her house is nearly paid off and worth bare minimum twice what she paid for it so she could definitely take that money buy something outright if she wanted so idk why she's looking at me (okay well I do know, it's because she's weirdly dependent on me and expects me to manage her life for some fucking reason)

when i was in highschool one o my biggest coping mechanisms was drawing all the kids i hated getting killed and eaten and killed. and well. time is a slowly ascending spiral. you will find patterns.(i work as a blackjack dealer. gamblers are FASCINATING

Does anyone else feel objectum towards any drinks? Like technically something inanimate that has to deplete eventually, yet you still have romantic or other attraction feelings towards it when you do consume it. I'm just wondering if this has a name.

For a headmate who is hyperfixating on his objectum attraction atm but can't find any current terms for said attraction

If we need to coin this I will, just wanted to ask first ee

Moving out

Soooo i'm moving away from home in a week and i am so anxious about it. I'm moving in with a friend of mine, who is also autistic :-). I have mixed feelings about it.. i feel sadness, longing, anxious, scared, nervous etc. A part of me just wants to keep living here and now move away from home,, and another part of me just want to move onto another chapter in my life. As the date approaches i feel more and more anxious and my chest feels thight. I passed my exam for 2nd semester in june,, and i have a bit of a month left before my studies starts again. But now i live closer to my university which is a huge plus. So now i can just walk or bike to school. Question to other autistic people: how did you feel when moving away from your parents/guardian and into your own place?

I want to learn Arabic in light of everything but I'm not sure where to start? Do you have have any resources?

this post has many resources for beginners

learn modern standard arabic to an intermediate level to be able to read, write and understand the basic structure and grammar of the language, then learn a dialect to actually be able to communicate with people. i recommend a levantine dialect, jordanian or palestinian are pretty widely understood by most arabic speakers

i think the way sans wholeheartedly supports papyrus through everything is really sweet but also very interesting for both of the characters, because i don't think sans is trying to humor him or is 'afraid to hurt his feelings' like many might think, i think sans fully trusts papyrus's own decisions and if he's ever wrong he can figure it out himself and grow from it, if anything sans really respects papyrus's choices, he doesn't think papyrus is making a bad decision by trying to be a royal guard, his brother knows himself best. papyrus also... doesn't have that much support from anyone else, sans is his only family and he barely has friends at all, i think for sans it's more important that papyrus feels supported than anything else, like i said, if papyrus is wrong about something? that's alright, he'll be okay, he'll learn from the experience, and his brother will be there for him. but for this situation, it's more important for papyrus that his brother believes in him when nobody else does than being told he's being 'naive'

I hate to tell you this bestie but if your hunger response has faded away due to lack of eating over time you may have an ED. I understand not eating enough food because it takes a lot of energy and it's hard, but I just hope you take a closer look and please take care of yourself <3

Adults who unload their trauma onto minors are weird.

That a child, they do not need to worry about their adult friend's mental state. That fucks them up!

I cannot tell you how many times I have had to deal with adults online unloading their baggage on me as a teen. It sucks!
