there’s not enough pothead!dean fics out there and for why? i’m literally him and i’m all of my friends stoner father and like, yeah he might not smoke but that man would fuckin love edibles. he fights monster for a living. he gets fucked by an angel. you’re telling me that him, and fucking sam, too, have stigmas about drugs? sam did acid in college, like what. you think sam having demon blood being dripped in his mouth as a baby is his canon event? no, every version of him did shrooms at stanford. he literally was addicted to demon blood bc it gave him super powers and made him see things? deans an alcoholic bc its more convenient and easier to find (in the early 2000s) but if spn was on hbo and not right-wing christian ass-licker (TW), cw, he wouldve been a massive stoner and i live by that. (also the fact that dean probably hates that he’s like his father in being an alcoholic and would smoke pot as a final act of rebellion against j*hn that he wasnt able to do while his dad was alive) adding to if we had hbospn: dean can find weed (and adjacent substances) in any state they’re in.

sometimes you just have to let yourself be a bit neurodivergent.

i hate going out, it gives me a lot of anxiety and sensory input that i dont like, and i am often forced to talk to people.

so i do this thing on more difficult days, or sometimes just for fun, where i "bring a fictional character with me". i walk and imagine Fictional Character walking next to me. they talk to me, reassure me, hype me up, whatever i need them to do.

today dean winchester came christmas shopping with me. he went over the list with me of stuff i needed to get, told me i was doing a good job every time i finished in a certain shop, reminded me to take a deep breath when i got a little overwhelmed.

and yea. its kinda silly. and i know its just me talking to myself in a different voice, but it Works! especially since all of my special interests/hyperfixations tend to be tv/movie related.

so do what you gotta do to Get Shit Done. stop holding yourself to neurotypical standards. if you need Fictional Character to tell you you're doing a good job, do it! if you need Favourite Singer to walk you to school, do it! yea it might feel silly but you're literally fighting against your own brain to get stuff done every single day. you can have a little self indulgent daydream, as a treat.

one of the worst social autistic experiences is when a neurotypical tells you something and then they pause expectantly because they’re looking for a Specific reaction and so you give them a generic “oh wow” and try not to have a flat tone even tho you Do and just hope for the best

[spacebugarts]

Neurotypicals will never know the experience of seeing a person wearing big headphones or stimming with something at the store and taking out your own stim toy to try and gauge if they're neurodivergent too or just vibing, while also trying to telepathically communicate that you are also neurodivergent.

Thats true solidarity

Being an adult with hyperfixations is so embarrassing like why am I obsessing over gay pirates I have a mortgage and back pain

[cleolinda]

Currently dealing with the idea that I have hypermobile joints and possibly mild HSD, gonna have to ask my doctor about this, but I pitched this idea to my physical therapy guy and he said, in the most deadpan tone possible, “Would you believe that I am not surprised by this.” And then I remembered this man has seen me casually touch my heel to the opposite hipbone just because I felt like stretching that leg. While having a herniated disc. And lying down. The reason it matters is that I wobble all over the place and it affects my ~Form in doing these exercises correctly for my back. So now that we have this hypothesis, we’re paying attention to this and working on things to strengthen various muscles so I fall over less while, say, just standing still.

"I will not explain the joke"

Not me. I'm dying to explain the joke. All you have to do is ask and I will be literally delighted to write you a three paragraph explanation complete with links to reference materials.

The neurodivergent experience is doing something completely normal and then someone walks in, laughs at you, and says "I'm not laughing at you!" while still actively laughing at you

[genericpuff]

This election isn't looking great now.

BUT.

There is one thing you must ALWAYS. ALWAYS REMEMBER.

Your two greatest, most powerful weapons against evil, against bigotry and fascism, against hate, against even hate that comes from inside the self...

are Hope, and Spite.

If nothing else can fuel you, let these. Embrace these. Let these consume you, let them become all that you are.

Let Hope help you find light in the little details, silver linings to cling onto with bleeding hands and pockets of joy to admire in every day. Let it inject you with good faith, motivation to spread kindness where it is needed most, and deepening trust that this won't last forever.

Let Spite charge you with fury that carries you to make moves and take actions. Let it lead you to little victories right in the face of evil. Let it fuel you to do the strongest, most meaningful thing you can possibly do in this potential age: Thrive.

With enough reframing of perspectives and looking in the right places, even the most oppressed can find little ways to thrive in their personal communities, to find joy in every day. To forget how bad things are for even a second. To believe and see proof that they can change it all. To cling onto their Hope and Spite.

And THAT is the most powerful message you can send to those who wish to eradicate you.

We are the cockroaches who survive the radiation. We are the banged-up sewer rats who get in countless scuffles and still come crawling out of the tunnels covered in wounds to see the sunrise. For it rises every day no matter what may be brewing underneath its shine.

And we will watch every sunrise together. We will hold hands and sing in our defiance. We will always remain connected through our shared suffering and yet especially our shared Strength.

And with our weapons kept at our sides, we will all make it.

[autism-affirmations]

hahaha i hate this holiday

[mightbeautistic]

Going back to interacting with allistics after solely talking to other autistic people feels like going back to your toxic boyfriend after dating a golden retriever boy

[strawberrylemongrass]

just realized that my "Happy dances" (swaying my hips, spinning, stomping) is literally just shit dogs do?? I'm actually wagging my tail wtf!
