You dont take the bus because its loud, so you get noise cancelling headphones or ear defenders and its okay now. I cant take the bus because I get overwhelmed trying to understand the timetables and stops and having people brush against me and dont know what to do when a single thing goes wrong without someone helping, only way it works (outside of simple one way routes that were practiced with me for years) is someone being there by my side at all times start to finish.

You dont like to go shopping because its overstimulating. I cant make it to the store without someone driving me there, accompanying me on the bus, walking with me inside, helping me get what I need, helping me pay, helping me back home.

You struggle to shower, so you set up a reminder system and you use rewards and make it fun by playing music or something and now you shower like twice a week reliably with very rare exceptions. If I try showering by myself I often end up catatonic on the floor, or hitting my head against the wall, ... and still only do it once every 7-12 days. Reminders dont work. Music doesnt work. Rewards dont work. The only thing that actually gets me to shower safely and enough is someone verbal prompting on good days and some hand on help for bad days. Same with brushing my teeth.

You struggle to work because its exhausting to mask. I wont get hired because I cant make it there without someone taking me and picking me up because taking the bus doesnt work and I cant drive, I can't speak to them without AAC and I dont understand what they say to me and I elope and I injure myself and I freeze and I can't stop myself from making noises and rocking and shaking my hands and pacing and jumping. my body refuses to make many (gross) motor skill movements right and I break stuff, walk into stuff, ... All I have is work at a sheltered workshop for like 1€ an hour.

Etcetc. Driving. Getting dressed. Going to a doctor. ... and yet you want to tell me is the same autism? That support needs labels dont matter? When this is my every every day?

Releasing this latent trans femininity is so exciting and only encourages a girl to keep striving to be the best she can be...

First day of Pride and I just want to shine a light on all the trans people who are unable to transition, especially those who aren’t fresh faced university grads. Those who don’t live in a supportive or even just accepting home or community. Those who aren’t well off, those who aren’t good at or popular enough to crowd fund. Those who can’t afford transitioning. Those who can’t even transition socially or need to stay in the closet for your safety. Those who rely on benefits or unforgiving jobs to just pay the bills. Having to hear day in and day out you’re just GNC, that your pre-transition body is “ugly” and the ways you can express your gender are “cringe.” Every trans person who’s been told they aren’t “trying hard enough”. Those trans people who won’t even get to imagine transitioning for years.

I see you. I love you. You’re so undervalued and under appreciated in a world where being a white, well off 20 year old on HRT and getting surgery is more common to see than people who work full time and just don’t have that privilege. It sucks, so much. But you are loved and you are seen.

Happy Pride Month to trans people who aren’t where they want to be. The world is better with you in it. We all need each other.

"I support everyone in this minority but why do they"

no. just no. saying you support someone but wishing they hide parts of who they are is not supporting. its tolerating.

Love to all of the tulpa systems or systems with tulpas regardless of their origin. No matter your system origin, you having a tulpa--even if it's just one or if there's many--does not discredit your system. It does not make you fake. Systems of any origin can have tulpas, systems that are disordered or have DID/OSDD/other dissociative disorders can have tulpas--and it does not make you fake. Your origin shouldn't dictate your validity--if you experience it, it's valid and real.

Thinking about which Sonic characters struggle in social situations and coming to the realization that it's the majority (if not all) of the cast.

I've been wanting to draw something like this since I threw out the idea of my s/i being Little Mac's older sister, so here's a little doodle comic!

I know 40k is the grimdark darkgrim but I have such a fondness for characters in this universe just having a great time. Living their best lives.

Zahndrekh being the poster child IMHO. Merrily campaigning, partying every night, happily married. Blissfully ignoring anything more existential than a potted plant.

Lysikor being the other. Thieving, threatening, murdering, and getting away with all of it because literally because he is a funny little guy. Completely unstressed. Has literally had a single bad day in his life and only because he couldn't betray Oltyx better than Oltyx could self-destruct.

Most orks are this too I guess? Nurglings and the like. Idk, who else is just winning in 40k? I thought Erebus might count, but he gets his face ripped off at least one too many times, he is not the right vibe.

June of Doom Day #30

"Are you scared yet?" | Failed Escape |

June of Doom Prompt List

"Oh Suuuupervillaaaiiin..."

Supervillain covered their mouth as they gasped from their hiding place, listening to the sound of Superhero's footsteps.

"Come on out, Supervillain!" The click of their heels on the wooden floor, the sound of a tarp being ripped away as the hero searched. "I only want to talk!"

Hand still over their mouth, Supervillain slowly lifted themself to their feet, crouching and peering around the crate they were hiding behind. They'd come to confront the new superhero at the docks, but things had quickly taken a turn.

This new Superhero wasn't like the others.

Their foot scraped against the ground as they shifted, and Supervillain froze, praying Superhero hadn't heard.

A laugh, low and echoing. One that sent shivers up Supervillain's spine. "I heeeeeaaar yooooou, little mouse..."

It was most definitely time to leave.

Risking one last glance around the crate, they saw Superhero approaching their hiding place, their gleaming eyes trained on a spot to Supervillain's right. They hadn't seen them yet.

Quiet as a cautious, hunted animal Supervillain stole to another set of crates, taking a moment to lean back against it and catch their breath.

A frustrated growl as Superhero failed to find them once more, the sound of a crate being kicked out of anger. "Come out come out wherever you are, Supervillain."

They growled Supervillain's name in a way that put the villain even further on edge, knowing they were absolutely dead if they were caught. They crept to another crate, their feet light as feathers on the wooden boards.

Beneath them they heard the swirling and sucking of the water below the docks, the splashing of the waves against the posts.

It was a risky way out, but it was the only one that might work.

They slowly backed away from the crates, ultimately losing their cover if Superhero were to spot them. They glanced back as they neared the edge, and didn't stop until their back hit the railing.

Supervillain could still hear the hero on the other side of the wall of crates, their footsteps and taunting coos carried by the night air. "Liiittle moooouse...You sure are being naughty today, you won't come and talk to me?"

The easiest way into the water would be to jump, but that risked Superhero hearing the splash. So instead they slowly crouched down until their knees were against their chest, then extended one leg out over the empty blackness.

Supervillain was a strong swimmer, but they'd never attempted anything like this before. They couldn't help their additional stab of fear as they slowly lowered themself into the frigid black water. Taking a deep breath to mask the shock of the cold, they let go of the dock and slid beneath the waves without a sound.

They emerged quickly, taking a large but quiet breath before kicking themself forward, their clothes, now heavy with water, weighing them down. They ducked beneath the wooden dock, holding tightly to one of its supporting beams.

Success. Now they could either find their way out of here, or simply wait until Superhero left.

They froze as there came several thuds from above, looking up they could just make out the shadow of Superhero's feet through the boards.

Their voice from above. "Where'd you go, little mouse? Leaving without a goodbye? That really is naughty."

Supervillain squeezed their eyes shut, taking another deep breath. Praying with everything they had that Superhero would leave.

Opening their eyes once more, shivering with cold, Supervillain let out a breath as they heard Superhero's footsteps retreat, moving further down the dock. Their shadow moved too, making its way over Supervillain's head and towards the next row of crates.

Supervillain took a deep breath. They had to get out of here, they wouldn't last long in the cold water.

A sudden thud, a creak, a head appearing over the edge of the dock. Supervillain couldn't help their scream, glancing up in terror at Superhero's upside down face.

Their eyes flashed wildly in the darkness, their mouth grinned malignly to show sharp teeth.

"There you are little mouse! Are you scared yet?"

People really think when you talk about lesbians being men or having relationships with men means you want them personally to go sleep with every man and not that you want every lesbian to have their own autonomy to decide what lesbianism means to them personally.

Like literally, the people who make large ass call out posts or posts that whine that there are people who are mspec lesbians or lesbian men or just that some lesbians have sex with men always make it so personal no matter if they are a lesbian or not. They seem to not be able to remove themselves from someone else's lesbianism and autonomy.

No one (seriously, no one besides actual lesbophobes) are claiming that you, a lesbian, has to have any relation to men. You do not have to date or have sex with lesbian men (or mspec lesbians), and guess what! We don't want to do those things with you either. No one is saying that because a small percentage of lesbians might have sex with men and/or be attracted to men, you as a lesbian have to. I don't know why you decided that you have to live in a world with communal absolutes. Not all lesbians are you, and you are not all lesbians (like really do you like the same women as every other lesbian? No, because you aren't other lesbians). Let lesbians have autonomy. Let lesbians live. Let queer people be!

Tldr: you don't have to do what other lesbians do. Just because a lesbian has any kind of relationship with men doesn't mean you have to. Other lesbians existing do not negate your lesbianism.

the majority of trans furina content of any type is neuvifuri with furina depicted as a trans mlm. a sizeable portion of the non-neuvifuri works featuring trans furina are by artists and writers who have also created for neuvifuri. this fact can be easily verified by anyone who has ever searched trans furina on both tumblr, ao3, and even twitter which is not as easy to search on. given that i have witnessed the individual in this screenshot discuss transmasc furina and bemoan the relative lack of content on several occasions, i find it hard to believe they have never, ever searched searched trans furina on any of these platforms.

it's incredibly disheartening and offensive to see someone willfully erase the hard work of both myself and several other artists and writers who have championed trans depictions of furina since the character first appeared in the game over 6 months ago. and for what? to fuel their irrational hatred of a harmless and completely fictional pairing?

if anyone truly is interested in trans furina fanworks, i personally maintain a masterlist of transmac furina works and highly encourage anyone to peruse the works there and give the creators your support. if anyone truly wishes to discuss any trans coding where furina is concerned, i personally have written my own short photo essay about why i believe the character of furina can be interpreted as transgender.

if this truly is a question of ignorance, something which i am dubious of given the individual's history, i fervently encourage actually looking at what trans content actually exists for a character before flagrantly erasing the mostly trans creators who are behind the majority of it.
