Coping with the particular dynamic of your neurodivergent family

When a group of people share neurodivergence in common, that doesn’t necessarily mean they are all the same or even relate to each other that well…very far from it…since as the saying goes, when you have met one autistic person you have met one autistic person; we are all divergently divergent, being each divergent in our own particular ways. When you put that mix of qualities together in a…

I just read back a chapter I wrote a few month ago and... How did I write it? It's like a Monty Python comedy sketch, or something Douglas Adams would write. I know it's sad but I made myself crack up laughing at my own jokes. Like what spirit possessed me while writing that scene???!!!

spite plays with the whetstones when lucanis cleans his knives oh my god... 🥺🥺🥺

(also the thing they're doing here with 'trauma will create a tantruming toddler in your head that refuses to settle for anything but total truth and authenticity and won't be bought off with bullshit or banished by abuse or neglect, you have to actually listen and care for it even when it's being ugly'......... they are cooking with this metaphor and it's also consistently so hilarious in action I can't fucking believe they laid off mary kirby for so many reasons but this is one of them. I also like the complexity of the relationship here -- even right at the beginning of the arc lucanis has some tenderness for and understanding of spite's fundamental innocence in having been put in this situation too, for all the resentment and fear and frustration that's also there. and if spite didn't actively force him to every step of the way I don't think lucanis would ever have actually faced up to and acknowledged the fact that he has y'know. the actual needs of a human being and can't persist on coffee and workaholism alone. it fucking sucks that all of this happened. but also. there's a crack in everything that's how the light gets in etc. like. god. okay then I guess)

This is probably such a specific me ick lol. But I hate that Uncle Jim has become a fandom meme. For me, Moonlight Chicken is so intrinsically his story and it’s such a deep and important one. Li Ming is the image of what Uncle Jim was never allowed to have; acceptance.

Jim isn’t a bigot, his reaction to Li Ming’s confession isn’t funny and it doesn’t come from a place of hate. He’s reacting in the way he’s come to expect because for Jim it really was hard enough to be poor let alone openly gay on top. He doesn’t want the struggles he’s had for Li Ming and he doesn’t yet realise that things have improved. That Li Ming can be poor and gay and yes those are both struggles but not in the ways they were for Jim.

Evaluating my book collection earlier today was tiresome. And now I'm just tired, regularly. I almost don't want to post. I could gladly fall into my sedentary routine of using the stupid addictive chatbots. But I promised to try and evaluate my reading taste, and so I will. I also promised myself i'd try and work on my christmas list too, but we'll get to that. So anyway, let's begin the self evaluation:

I find that I almost exclusively enjoy middle grade fiction. Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, The Land of Stories, Alice in Wonderland, etc. This is all stuff predominantly targeted at teenagers. And despite me being 19, it's still the only stuff I seem to enjoy reading. With exceptions, of course. I enjoyed some Sherlock Holmes short stories once (and I did enjoy the Lord of the Rings once, although I feel no deep desire to revisit it soon), but I still don't enjoy a lot of stuff aimed at adults. So yeah. It's clearly middle grade or lower for me. (Also, I haven't really revisited Harry Potter since I learned of the controversies, but it's still an apt example here).

I also like very Lighthearted Fantasy. Again, look at some of the things I've enjoyed most. Percy Jackson, Alice in Wonderland, Harry Potter. Do you know something shared between these three things? It's that they're not 100% dark and edgy and sad. They have comedy in them. Percy Jackson is a book series that can cover a lot of serious stuff, but it's usually delivered in a fun way. And Alice in Wonderland is just completely comedic, with dozens of weird and humourous scenes. I don't like death in my books (usually if a character i like dies, the whole thing is ruined for me). So I need my stuff to stay somewhere on the funny, optimistic side of things.

And this now shows why it's so hard to find stuff I might like reading. Because there's only so much that can fit within my very narrow range of criteria. So that's why Christmas is sometimes a lot of hassle. I want to put books on my list (books and video games usually end being the only items i can think of, so they fill lots of space), but how can I think of books when it's already mid november and i'm working with my very, very picky tastes? That's the hard part. I'm half tempted to ask for recommendations. Just to see what anyone can share, based on my criteria. And if anyone wants to know what i've read before, there's three posts that I made earlier dedicated to that.
