Satisfaction

This eloquent passage reflects on the significance of closure and transition in life. It emphasizes the importance of speaking one's truth with authenticity and gratitude as the chapter concludes.

In the end, yes, that end, it’s about speaking your truth to say thank you, I had the time of my life and I’m departing with a heart for a luggage filled with the best memories I chose to experience. What purpose does breathing serve other than living? Up or down, we go through experiences, things may not always go our way or may not even end the way want it, but how was it spent and what…

Akutami Gege Devouring His Son

[the-daughter-of-lilith]

The one part that really sucks with coming to terms with autism is the fact you have to build a trustworthy support system that understands you that you can intimately confide in, but it is extremely hard to do this when you’ve been groomed and isolated from people the last ten years, on top of being unable to form stable connections outside of your groomer.

I’ve been committed to putting in work to build a little social circle of new people in my life however. Some people I still consider friends from my past, but from a distance, for my own well-being & safety. I’m unable to reconnect with many people from my past due to trauma, and have finally closed the chapter on rebuilding connections with people from it now that I have a decently sized support circle.

The longevity of my new formed connections will always be uncertain, due to many external and internal factors throughout life. This has always been rough to accept as an autistic individual, given the fact autistic people have a constant need for a “best friend” in life. My “best friend” was my groomer, unfortunately.

Nothing lasts forever as an autistic individual, so you at least learn to appreciate the time spent with your current friends in the moment, until they’re gone again. Which is one of the reasons isolating is always the best form of comfort for an autistic individual.

It’s virtually impossible to have a genuine, long-term “best friend” experience. Growing up, this was always one of my comfort songs. I’d pretend I was listening to this with a best friend next to me. I guess it was my child-like brain having a sense of wishful thinking, and form of pain killer in a sense.

a lifetime of happiness

**hnk ch 108 spoilers**

Can't believe it's already been a month since Houseki no Kuni ended... It's been a ride leading up to the finale but I finished the series with tears welling up in my eyes, and a sense of peace. 😭

The ending was hopeful and meaningful— an unexpectedly lovely conclusion for Phos! 🤧 I love the visual metaphor of Phos and the gems being reborn into "The Pure Land", or known as, The Land of the Lustrous, a purified paradise free of materialism and earthly temptations. These delicate gem flowers holding tiny, unique universes, will be eternally brightened by Phos' radiant existence. With the possibility of other universes, I hope that Phos and the others will meet again and lead more fulfilling lives together!! 🛌💭

The way my jaw dropped realizing Ichikawa ended the last chapter on number 108, the Buddhist symbol of overcoming worldly desires and embracing new beginnings to attain nirvana. SO good...😦 The parallel between big brother and Phos, both on self-destructive, morally ambiguous paths for their loved ones/ideals, was a compelling twist. I love them both... 😢 As Aechmea and Adamant hoped, big brother passed on knowing he helped Phos find happiness. 😭 Wailing...

This series has profoundly impacted me more than I imagined, shaping my perspectives on my own values and the world. Despite it coming to an end, we will always stay connected across time and space, just like Phos!!! 🥺🤍

Thank you, Haruko Ichikawa, for creating such a memorable piece of work, and to everyone who has liked my hnk art and commentaries throughout the years! I'll continue loving and drawing the series for as long as I can. 🙇

Most unhinged moment in TWST Wonderland that made you go:

I love this game.

can I just say the entire front half of episode 7 chapter 8, because everything about it was BONKERS in the most absolutely delightful way. genuinely this might have been the funniest single update yet. we got Idia's directorial debut! big stronk Epel! and. just. gestures to the entirety of SavanaRook. (then Vil went into a spiral of murdering people that culminated in punching the manifestation of his own insecurity in the face, and that was good in an entirely different kind of way, but I digress)

if I have to pick one though, I'm gonna go with Idia's video, because 1) adorable, 2) seriously just look at it, and 3) I did legit have to replay that subchapter on account of laughing over most of it the first time. truly Idia is the artistic genius of our generation.
