Me chatting before Italian class: because the Divine Comedy was so influential to Italian culture that it almost single-handedly made the Tuscan dialect the foundation of modern Italian-

it's not good for the job search to have a fundamental, bone-deep certainty that the world will always punish an honest attempt >:|

I need to talk about this scene and how much it means to me as an autistic person. The things Taash describes are so, so painfully relatable to me. But really what gets me about this scene is Rook's dialogue. To be able to say me too, that I have to mask and imitating what "normal" people do in order to get by? That this is a practiced skill, and sometimes it's hard to employ? I have never, EVER seen that part of myself represented so authentically. I've had this exact conversation with my therapist during my diagnosis process. I've had this conversation with my parents, my siblings, my friends. I know the sting of when the mask slips and people you care about don't like what's underneath.

To be able to play as a character who experiences that, not as a headcanon but as a real conversation I can have in-game? For Rook to be able to connect with someone not in spite of this feeling but because of it? And for Taash to smile and say "you don't have to do that with me"... that just means everything. I'm so grateful for this character.

Now why would my dad, this cishet construction worker pushing 60 who spend his life watching only action movies and the occasional comedy movie, suddenly got VERY into mostly romantic K-dramas ??

Maybe I am autistic and maybe one of my special interests is the Zelda franchise.

(I literally will not shut up about it once I get going. I've been doing this since I was like 5.)

Wrote out a big long phone call rant to have with my mother later because as much as I hate it she is my closest irl spiritual confidant 👍 here’s hoping her response to ‘hey I’ve been spiritually depressed and disconnected for like 8 months and for some reason these last two weeks advocating for Palestine has me feeling alive and burning with divine passion and love in a way I’ve never felt before in my life’ isn’t like. ‘Talk to your psyche abt your meds hun’

Mister Fox..have you ever thought you may have the..tism...just, maybe, a little bit of the silliness..

…What the HELL do you mean by the “tism”? Is this another insult?!

An OC I designed a while back, as part of an idea for an OC universe of sorts based around toony aesthetics, like the kind seen in old cartoons.

His name is Tourmaline (he/they), an alien who's very inquisitive and loves to explore new places, but is also a bit ditzy and bimbo-ish. Generally very sweet, but can trip over himself trying to acclimate to the customs and cultures of new environments. He's named after the gemstone tourmaline, specifically watermelon tourmaline, due to its green/pink color scheme. Those "pigtails" of his are actually antennae, but his are big enough that he feels the need to tie them back; they're also always seen at a sort of cheated angle. He technically has a mouth, but it's only visible when necessary.

(I have another OC who's part of this same concept who I haven't drawn yet, but I'm planning on doing it sometime this month as a bit of a Pride Month thing.)

Some of his inspirations, in terms of design/personality:

Mishka has that incest autism where he disregards social norms and wants to fuck his dad, because he knows and trusts him and finds him hot, who even cares what anyone thinks. going outside and developing a connection with some total stranger is too stressful. and futile. nobody can measure up to his dad anyway. very not worth the effort.

smh, why is he like this 😔 I ask, while writing him and projecting weird shit onto him to get it out get it out out OUT of my fucking head
