#just autism thing I suppose xd

[sandwichmustbetasty]

LITERALLY

my last 2 weeks were spent thinking ONLY about rop and with the new semester starting it's a goddamn struggle but I'm loving it

What’s amazing to me is that other people are walking around not thinking about Rings of Power all the time.

[fantomette22]

Also kind of funny how people say i’m quite discreet and don’t talk a lot when i’m afraid i talk too much (maybe too loud or too fast) and afraid i ended up annoyed them. (Can smn explain pls xD)

anyway it’s late i apologize if it doesn’t make so much sense it is late)

I wanted give Fairie Garden a follow-up post to show her in better lighting than she got last night. Here she is with a little forest friend (Zelfs 'Birchy'):

I know she's a bit fish-eyed, but I've decided she's just looking at magical things the rest of use can't see XD

And here she is sans fidget features. Turns out there's an honest to goodness fashion doll beneath all that slow-rise foam! With extremely nice quality nylon hair, no less. I popped an old Barbie skirt I thought would look cute on over her top. I probably won't display her this way--I think the fidgets are part of her charm--but it's nice to have the option.

FG is similar in size to Rainbow High dolls, but there are a lot of differences in their various proportions. I haven't tried to see if they can share clothing.

This doll has been haunting my wishlist for months. I began to be anxious I wouldn't be able to acquire her after hearing the Fidgie Friends brand was discontinued, but yesterday when I noticed she'd been marked down to $9.98 on both Amazon and Walmart, I knew it was time. I'm so glad she's finally here!

Although I'm all in favor of the concept behind Fidgie Friends --combining sensory toys with dolls is a brilliant idea--in general I find their largely food-based designs extremely unappealing. I have a lot of autism-y food texture issues that make even non-edible food shaped toys a bit triggering for me. But I love fairies, and mushrooms, and although I suppose mushrooms technically can count as food, Amanita muscaria in particular most definitely does not, so for whatever reason in this instance my weird brain does not object.

All of which is to say--I know these might initially be considered odd, even off-putting dolls, especially for fashion dolls, but I think they are delightfully unique and worth at least taking a look at before they're gone for good. Fairie Garden is such a fun, quirky addition to my collection, I honestly think I'd regret it if I'd missed her.

Lastly! before I wrap up this already overly-long post, I wanted to include this extremely thorough review of FG that xCanadensis posted last fall, which was the inception point for my interest in this doll.

no cus i totally understand your frustration, ive also quit splatfests for the moment until they get an overhaul

i suggest if you feel close to getting hateful to either shiver or shiver fans then maybe quit for a while for your own sake cus ive felt a lot better after doing so, im still really sensitive to negative comments towards frye or rude ones about shiver winning but taking some time for myself has made me feel infinitely better

ive been close to hating shiver before bc of how cocky and rude them and their fans can be but it doesnt really do anything but sour your enjoyment of the game more, so its really not worth it

i do have to say though, anyone who says "its just a game" reaaally needs to understand the frustration of people OTHER than them, sympathy is something a lot of people forget about when it comes to things that arent real life. just because it doesnt affect you doesnt mean everyone can shut off their attachment to the game or a character like a light switch; a lot of the time you dont know whats going on with them. i myself am really attached to frye cus i am hashtag autism creature and he brings me comfort, so anyone being rude to me about shiver winning really REALLY gets under my skin. its not entirely (if they were serious, if they werent then its not at all) their fault, but nintendo fixing the frustration of splatfests constantly keeling in one direction (which theyre supposed to do anyways but they havent) would definitely fix the issue. we need to find a way to have nintendo fix this, not attack anyone else for what bundle of pixels and text theyre attached to.

not everyone has really thick skin and if we want splatoon 3 to be more hospitable then we should try to cut down on the general splatfest bullassery in public spaces (being overly cocky and rude/blaming others in a way with no basis or truth behind it). its not something everyone can always do since we arent all perfect, but if we make steps in that direction then we could help more people enjoy the splatoon community rather than being eaten up by toxicity and spite

i didnt word all of this entirely correctly so like interpret ad best as you can cus im eepy but yeah.

a fye for u to enjoy (also ur anon is off btw)

u dont have to but for the sake of not being harrassed id appreciate if u didnt tag with public tags

👏👏 PREACH

I don't want to quit playing it, I do enjoy splatfests, to a certain extent, i like going with my friends and i made a lot of new friends through it, it's like, the online community that I'm having a problem with

I don't hate shiver, I thought I did but I can't, she is still a comfort character (tho Frye is like, my obsession besides being my comfort character cuz I am also part part the 'tism XD), in a way, I like her dynamic with the group at least, she annoys me, yes, very much so, but I don't hate her

And I don't hate people who like her either

Who I do hate is people being mean about it, I had turned off anon cuz of a stupid person who was going around every frye support account anonymously just saying mean stuff and praising shiver as the best, I just forgot to turn it on, so thanks for reminding me 😅

Saying that "It's just a game" is so annoying to, tell that to the football fans, they go just as crazy if not more so

Splatfests are ment to be fun! You should be able to enjoy the splatfest without having to worry about people fighting

I don't like fighting with people, I hate how angry I become, how mean I can sound sometimes, I usually just vent without interacting

At least she won in Japan, so that is one other win under her belt, I just wish she'd win more in the future 😔

Oh also I almost didn't participate in this splatfest either and I did only because I haven't had time to play and I haven't finished my catalogue yet 😅 I usually use splatfests to up my catalogue quicker lmao

Also, don't worry, I won't tag anything that could get you harassed, if anything does happen, please block for your health, I don't want anything happening to you, you seem very sweet ;w;

Edit: also YOUR FRYE PLUSH IS SO CUTE! I've been seeing people get her but idk where to buy her!!!! Where'd you get it? :0

[hyperfixation-tangentopia]

Update: I've officially cleared out an entire corner and will now have to move a BUNCH of stuff to move his crate there (including rotating the crate). However, this will mean he (and I) will ultimately have more space here, and was also the original intention of the room's layout. Gonna take a picture of the room currently because I want to have progress photos because. Idk. Brain. I'm exhausted. And am going to get more water. But I'm excited.

I was gonna do literally anything Tealstar related and then. For once I listened to my brain. And now I'm cleaning. I've been in this house for almost 6 months now and haven't cleaned or unpacked. Please be proud of me lol

ask game! 1, and 11 if you're comfortable sharing

Yeah!! A warning: you have asked very interesting questions and I've been sick all day so I am in a mood to RAMBLE (you have been warned)

1 (how did you get your system name) it's actually a reference xD in the Unexpectables podcast (ttrpg) there's a fragment of a god living in a massive floating crystal above the city of Alivast, and that crystal is called the Attic. The god-shard living within is called Lys, and shows itself as a (porcelain) mask in a realm of porcelain- this bit (and entire podcast) was very emotionally important to our system for a long time, so we sort of just kept it. The other name option was smth perhaps a bit over-flourished; the Myriad Mask system/collective, which we decided against due to wanting to unmask. There were other name options too but they weren't particularly interesting

11 (how did you find out you're plural) in an odd sense we almost always knew. The earliest memories have several voices, but because everyone's always understood manners there was almost never talking over each other- and when there was we were all too distractible to take much notice. This is relevent specifically because we listened to and read A LOT and I mean a METRIC FUCK TON of fantasy books, and one thing that is always said is that "voices in your head generally mean you are going crazy. And that's bad" so logic ruled that if the voices overlapped, then there were multiple, otherwise it's just one that does silly voices (audiobook narrators do that all the time) and thus the conclusion that despite the literal audio drama happening at all times, definitely not multiple voices. Plus we're very good at agreeing about things and talking disagreements out peacably, so of course that was assumed to be how everyone works through information. Fast forward to highschool and everyone(external folks) is blithering about this super wicked-cool thematically cohesive "self" that everyone's about to have, and how it comes with a sense of fashion and a way of speaking and favorite colors, books, animes, etc. Now we all got really good really young at catching on to when something Important is going down (autism masking, really) and started to essentially research what a sense of self was supposed to look like. And proceeded to be horrible at it. Could never decide on any one thing to go with, way to be, item/story/color to favor, or ANY of the things people said you figured out in highschool. Lots of other life events were going on at the same time which really just ended up in a pretty extreme dissociation problem, delaying epiphany a few more years. And yet, epiphany came. Epiphany came in the form of online servers, where other systems talked about their experiences, and it was fascinating! Fascinating to a dangerous degree (everything else this interesting gets permenantly installed in the brain [special interests] or turns out to be awfully Self [like discovering our autism] Relevent) so we asked questions and researched and read people's stories, and had a big sit-down-and-think. And then the fog started to lift. Allowing a possibility of voices, of faces, preferences and general personhoods, was a VERY delicate process, but then the locks came undone and it's been a lovely mess ever since:) we still have the dissociation issues most days, but it's getting better, and even now I'm writing this with Bonrae at my shoulder, and everyone else bickering comfortably in the main room behind me

Thanks for the ask, it was lovely to chat^-^

[system-of-a-feather]

Honestly, at this point our autism is becoming our most prevalent disorder in terms of issues and thats honestly really nice. On the other hand, I'm realizing our system's known skill of "learning a topic enough to get good scores on the test and practical" applied to navigating thr world as an autistic person and has resulted in me coming up with rules and explanations for neurotypical things that end up with the same result but miss a lot of the ACTUAL theory that can affect other things and so I pass Neurotypical Socializing pretty well because I am Good At Socializing and can pass the test and practical at Socializing Like a Normal Person, but - in my therapists words - when you get down to it I am NOT understanding it fully to the same way

Like... APPARENTLY the funniest thing I've found out the hard way is that when someone says something factual or informational to you - may that be "The sky is blue" or "You are supposed to turn the water on first then do this" - if you say "I know" that is interpretted by MOST people as "I know and understand this fully so you dont have to tell me this" and not just "I am aware / cognicent of that information as you presented it" to which APPARENTLY Ive been telling everyone to passively shut up my entire life which EXPLAINS why everyone reads me as Super Confident (I am but like XD)

But I just learned how to say The Right Things to get the result I want and assuming what I thought XYZ meant was correct because I got to the response I thought I should but nope, apparently not

HELLO 6 7 20 enkidu character opinions Please

wtffff i had to dig through my activity to find that you sent this because it got eaten by other notifs!!!! whoever coded this website needs to get fired i swears. ON IT BOSS o7

6. What's something you have in common with this character?

im more chatty online but even then the amount i talk depends on the day. but irl I understand why enkidu is the way he is in any social situation because quite frankly yeah me too. i dont even talk irl i just think to myself and observe everyone and just go "ahum yup ok" and nod at everything people say because literally what am i supposed to say. but once people talk about a topic im familiar with i might say a thing or two all of a sudden. maybe three. the only difference is that enkidu is The strongest man ever and i am just some random ass person that takes care of children sometimes

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

unib memes range from annoyingly overused as per usual for fgs (chesto/akatsuki thot slayer. mika XD half of the time. hilda is 19...do people even still make bathwater and jav jokes anymore oh god those were annoying day ONE) or either funny to Mehhhh depending on the context (just any memes involving merkava come to mind. wagner honest mids My toxic trait is thinking a good chunk of them are funny btw. nana jokes are hit or miss too) but enkidu memes have always been the ones i've consistently laughed at the most being removed from my inherent bias and i imagine that's the result of him being very under the radar. but like holy shit enkidu mains are funny as fuck? the enkidu tier jokes in unist. you had to be there for the "they added enkidu in uniclr" era. and then the memes after that when they took 66c away from us. and of course "I guess I won't say anything..." and the enkidu autism jokes. guy who just has the funniest meme material with just his balancing history and being the way he is ALONE

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

even though they have the whole "ending each other with honor" thing going on the fact that they kinda worked together in uni2 (wished we couldve actually seen how they were working together ahahahaha. ha) and also their mutual respect for each other i think wald and enkidu should settle down from their own debts and be old men besties. idk linne can have a weird uncle now or something i just want to see them talk in a slice of life context so bad ESPECIALLY FOR WALDSTEIN. like they can't just give us funny ass trivia like "he has to eat like 7 bowls of food and also needs to enter the back door" and not put him in SoL situations with other people.

[katyspersonal]

What are your thoughts on deraciné (the VR game that fromsoft made)? It's pretty obscure but it has a wonderful story (and plenty of bb references to the point that there was a rumor that it was supposed to be bb 2)

Sorry, I forgot about this ask as I read it when I was still in the bed and could not answer... But yeah, for now I don't know anything about this game! I first even heard it mentioned in Zullie's video about the Wormfaces, but I already was surprised why I literally never hear about it? ...and now that you've mentioned it is VR I guess I see why :') ...or maybe VR is way more common thing abroad and it is JUST obscure.

I simply quick-checked a few letsplays on Youtube to get the general idea, and it seems to have a really beautiful atmosphere? I just already really love the designs and the locations! Bloodborne's aesthetic is my favourite out of Soulsborne games; Victorian-ish vibe resonates with me more than other games sorta medieval fantasy setting. So yes, artistically, of course I love it! If I am not wrong, it functions like point-and-click adventure but in 3D. I will be real, I've always been absolute moron at point-and-click games for some reason?? However, the way From puts their stories into puzzles so far proven to be crafted for my brain particularly, so I'd feel confident enough to actually try it... ...if I ever get a VR device. xd I also seet hey played out us playing without combat and in VR as being a Faery children believe exists? This is brilliant! ALSO:

sdhdfgsdfj Autism moment, but I was so glad to see this name xd Soulsborne consistently adds female characters named a variant of this name in their games sdhd Yuria in DeS, mentioned Yulia in DS1, Mentioned Zullie (character, not dataminer!) in DS2, Julie/Yurie in BB, Yuria in DS3... And now this xd I just like when they keep the pattern (glares at BB for breaking the 'cannibal swamp lady' trend)

_____________

Well, yeah, in any case, it seems like it is a lovely game! Actually when I tried to look what it was about, I got reminded of Bloodborne not only because of the designs and atmosphere, but also because of the system. Before I could buy PS4 and Bloodborne, I was stuck learning BB lore all by myself through descriptions, awful quality videos that never showed me what I NEEDED unless by accident, screenshots and images, datamined models and names, all that... And the way I had to move around everything I could to connect together the pieces and figure out the story and headcanons myself? It reminded me of how this game is played in particular. No combat, but just puzzles to solve and things to find. I am sorry if that makes no sense, the reasons brain activates distant memories sometimes can get too obscure or even random.

Hello muppet tumblr ^_^

I wanted to say this even tho this affects no one

I’m a little bit sad because I was originally going to get mayhem backpack. I still can hypothetically it’s more due to my Autism I like keeping things the same. I’ve been using the same bag for a while and honestly, I just wouldn’t put the backpack to use so I suppose it would be a waste of money. Not that collecting isn’t cool ( bc I collect everything related to my special interests ) but for some reason …. I just don’t collect backpacks, even if it is related to my special interest. ( idk why ?? ). HOWEVER on the upside I’m hoping that by 9/7 when we have moneyz again I’ll still be able to pre-order these Dr. teeth and the mayhem keychains off of Etsy. ^_^;; to put on my bag… I do have my holo heart teeth pin I wear on my muppets hoodie 24/7 ( by Mel and the Etsy stuff is by Mel too check them out !!) ANYWAY I love the backpack and I would love to have it, but I know I’m realistically not going to, but I am grateful that I can get other things. Like I remember as soon as I knew that the Mayham shirts hit my local hot topic I bought the ones available plus the muppet hoodie XD!!!

THATS ALL THIS MAKES NO SENSE ^_^;;…

30 DAYS OF AUTISM ACCEPTANCE 2023

Damnit, I forgot about it again. Looks like you're getting another unnecessary long post, guys XD

7 April: Do you have other diagnoses? What are they? Do you think that some could be incorrect?

Yeah, I have one, and it's exactly the reason why I think our local medical system is bullshit. First of all, it was all done in secret. They used my personal files from school and university instead of actually asking me questions, they dragged me in hiding it as "productivity test" so there were no proper diagnosis process, just some old brats whispering behind my back. I even wasn't supposed to know my diagnosis, the only reason why I know what it was - a year later one of the doctors have accidentally left me alone while my files were on his table. And of course, the image of my psychological state and personality, and the diagnosis itself had nothing to do with realty, because they haven't bothered to ask me about any of it. I don't want to even say what my diagnosis was because it's nonsesnse.

8 April: Do you struggle to read long texts or are you one of those people who can read everything with ease (Braille counts too of course)?

Honestly it heavily depends on what kind of text I'm reading. I usually have no problems with reading fiction and pop-science as long as the book is intresting for me personally. However, I can get lost in some scientific articles if they put sources and big massives of data directly into sentences, or simply use too much punctuation marks. It's much easier for me to find information I need if it's put in a numbered list or a table. I'm generally very visual person, so having tables and illustrations is very helpful.

9 April: Did an interest ever turn into an "obsession" for you? If not, do you regularly experience hyperfocus when you engage in your special interest? If nothing applies, tell us about your longest interest, no matter if it's a special interest or not!

Obsessions… Well, they're kinda a part of normal life for me. A friend of mine says that I tend to run in cycles of switching from one special interest to another, when one of them becomes a literal obsession and when it happens, around 80% of our discussions end up being related to this special interest. Each such obsession lasts for at least couple of weeks, and sometimes I have 2-3 obsession at once. However, the overall number of them is very limited.

10 April: Can you understand speech when there is background noise?

No. I can handle a basic amount of noise, but my limit is something like a street in the center of a middle-sized city, where there are cars but traffic jams are rare. Then I start to loose ability to understand what's going on, including speech, and up to being completely disoriented and loosing ability to think conciously.

11 April: If you learned to speak as a child (definition for this post: the ability to use spontaneous speech (mouth words) to communicate in at least two-word sentences), did your ability to speak improve after that, stayed the same, decrease, or did something happen that you can't speak at all anymore now?

I think it generally stayed the same, but I'm more concious now of the fact that I'm actually semi-verbal. I did have situations of loosing ability to speak in my childhood, varying from forgetting particular words to not being able to speak at all, but it never crossed my mind it wasn't common among other kids. The only thing that changed, honestly, is that I now use way more texting because it's easier for me.

12 April: Were/are you in speech therapy? If so, for what? If not, do you think speech therapy could have helped you?

I weren't since the only obvious problem I had is difficulties with the "r" sound (my first language is Russian, where "r" is a very distinct sound), but it's a common problem for children who's first language is some sort of a Slavic language. However I was a unique case because when I was a toddler, I used to growl instead of screaming/crying, and later somehow lost this ability temporarily.

13 April: How important are routines to you? Are your routines more based on time ("I always do this at 6pm!"), on habits ("I always drink from this cup!") or both?

I think it's more habits than time. My parents have never insisted on keeping a stable timetable, and from early childhood I have gained a habit to think more in weeks rather than days: I was attending a couple of various after-class activities since grade 2, and such stuff usually only takes place once or twice a week. I also had very irregular timetable at university, when one day classes start at 8 a.m, but next day they only start at 2 p.m, but it was the same each week, so it has solidifyed this week-by-week mindset.

However, habits and keeping a particular order are important for me. I might not seem the most habitual person from the outside, but in fact it's just some level of flexibility combined with readiness to form several interchangable habits for one thing, and usually I form them slowly one by one. For example, I might have three different routes to get home from work, but it will stressful for me to make a fourth one, and the other three were created one by one and it was stressful each time.

14 April: If you learned to speak as a child, were you a late talker, average age, or did you speak at a really young age?

I think it was average, maybe slightly earlier, but nothing intresting besides the fact that my first word was "grandpa", not "mom" like for majority of kids. However, I had a weird experience with reading. My parents tried to teach me reading when I was around 3-4 years old, but I agressively refused to learn letters. But when they have already given up and left me alone, I somehow managed to learn reading on my own, and it took me a couple of hours sitting alone with a book.

15 April: If you can perceive the facial expression of others and learned to recognise the meaning to a degree, did you learn that in social skills training, by your own "hard work", or was it a mix of both? Are there patterns that you understand intuitively (for example recognising fear because it's not so different from how you behave when you feel fear)? - if this question doesn't apply to you, you have a day off! :)

I can somewhat percieve facial expressions, but I can't say that I learned it conciously. Looks like I have learned to recognise the most basic and clear emotions, like laugh = happiness or screaming = angry, and my mind have just given up on the rest. When watching movies, I can recognise more complex emotions and even analyse characters from psychological point of view, but it doesn't work with real people in most cases.

[dt-lilslutty-bearcub]

From a very young age, like 7 or 8, like when i could remember my thoughts, but i never knew the word, so i never really felt like a girl

But also, due to a young age and maybe autism i never understood gender binary or "what girls were supposed to do" i would just be myself i was called a "tomboy" but when i started hitting Puberty (9) i knew something was very wrong i thought my dick would grow out XD but i started developing god it was Awful and you know the thing where everyone else knows your different and they just don't tell you that how i felt for a long time i felt like something was wrong with me i didn't feel like myself and i don't know when i found out what the word

trans meant but it was like a breath of fresh air this is what i am

I am transgender

And i am proud of my identity

I spent years fighting for my life, my identity, and this is who i am.

It will never change :3

Happy pride month, my Lovelies

I’ve been curious about this…

I’m trying to get a large sample, so reblog please! :)

[void-rainbow]

autistic hot takes lol

Just thinking about the concept of "special interests"

I don't get it. I really don't. The deeper I read into it the more it just seems like neurotypical people can't handle autistic people being weird, and that it's more of a product of neurotypical people restricting themselves and their interests to some artificially agreed upon subset of topics.

I already have quite a bit of thought on "normalcy" and how artificial it is. Cuz people all the time are trying to talk about how to change themselves in order to be normal and fit in. The effort it takes to create this artificial reality for those who subscribe to it

I guess essentially I just wanna pull a "no u" on the thought of restrictive interests

I just wonder if "special interests" in autistic people are noticed by neurotypical people cuz they expect normalcy whereas autistic people are likely to not notice or give up on what others are trying to tell them to restrict themselves to.

I dunno. It's possible I'm just not that kind of autistic person. That I just don't have a special interest and so get offended by this encroachment of normalcy. But still. I got diagnosed with autism this year, and they asked me about special interests. I wasn't sure what to say except that I like bugs. And show off my favorite spider, argiope aurantia. Cuz why not XD It was my opportunity to force them to see it. As it is here in my own post lollllllll

I don't know if that tipped the scale in any way on an autism diagnosis. Or if my behavior was artificially seen as weirder because I wanted to show them a spider because I saw the opportunity. Or is that indeed the very behavior they look for, uh XD

I dunno man. I could've liked anything. I love photography and bugs are everywhere, the most abundant subjects, so I wanted to learn about my subjects. It's an interest on its own now. I guess mammals are less interesting cuz they're more normal. And also bugs are tiny and everywhere and that means it's like....secret little lives happening all around us. A similar feeling to looking up at the sky in wonder and realizing how small we are in the universe, how tiny a portion we and all our struggles and triumphs and loves are. And in the world around us, how much we never notice, how much we never could notice due to the sheer number, the numerous insects and other small creatures living their lives, struggling and dying and reproducing and cleaning themselves and all the drama packed into such small spaces. Everywhere, anywhere.

To the wonder at a study of geology. The thought that rocks can hold so much history, to learn of ancient earthquakes, lava flows, oxygen levels, fires. Plant diversity, fossils, extinctions. How can you not stand in wonder at the vastness of time? The chemistry and physics of it all?

I love to learn most things about nature. It's all a wonder. Love to hike and camp and read National Geographic and watch documentaries and educational youtube. All together.

And yes I focus on bugs most of all, why not.

Another side of the story is just. Life is hard. I've hardly had any jobs and have struggled with school. Just living life disabled I guess. And I get bored. I want to have something to do. Learning can help. Subsume myself in nature, physically and/or mentally, to keep myself occupied. Little projects like the homemade bug guide I made earlier this year. Identifying all the bugs I take pictures of and learning about them. It helps. I probably wouldn't look into it so much if I was more "successful". I didn't do all this when I was younger. I don't regret the interests, but I do wish it was easier as far as overall life functioning. I just feel like I'd know less about my supposed "special interest", and focus on it much less specifically, if I didn't have all these struggles....

Trying to read on it today I found that yes some other autistic people don't like this categorization. Pathologizing of the interests of autistic people over allistic people. I'll probably be reading about it more

Some more random qhestions

What's your favorite animal

What's your favorite mythical beast (think dragon, sphinx, phoenix)

Would you want to be someone else instead of yourself?

Some more personal ones (you don't have to answer these)

Have you delt with mental health issues before?

Have you been diagnosed with autism / ADHD?

Do you sometimes wonder what is the meaning of life?

Some more light hearted ones. (And also hamster)

If you could have a superpower, what would it be?

Birds or reptiles?

What did you want to be as a kid?

How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood (trick question, a woodchuck couldn't chuck wood)

What's your favorite mythical beast (think dragon, sphinx, phoenix)

"Man, you're gonna think this is either crazy, or awesome. I've got a few favorites, but they're kinda niche. The Kirin, the Nuckelavee, the Ningens, Wendigos, the fae, and of course, Paddler who lives in Lake Pend Oreille (Pronounced Pond or lay. Yeah, i know its pronounced really weird, pretty sure its French). If you don't know who Paddler is, he's basically like another loch ness monster, who lives in a different place. You might wanna look some of these creatures up if you're curious, but be warned, some of them are pretty scary in appearance. Then, if I absolutely had to give a basic answer, is a faerie dragon allowed? They're so precious!!"

Have you been diagnosed with autism / ADHD?

"I have not been officially diagnosed, though I have done an insane amount of research, and can confidently say that I'm high sensory, and have ADHD ^^ Not sure about autism, pretty sure not, but we'll see in a few years when I eventually have the time and money to get diagnosed lol"

Do you sometimes wonder what is the meaning of life?

"That is something I used to wonder a lot about when I was younger, but as I grew not as much. I think, life just makes more sense to me now. In a way I suppose."

Some more light hearted ones. (And also hamster)

If you could have a superpower, what would it be?

"That's a tough one!! There are so many superpowers!! Um, maybe have a perfect memory, like PERFECT, or the ability to shapeshift. I'd probably use it to constantly change my hair color lol."

Birds or reptiles?

"I have to pick?? Lol ok ok, if I have to choose, then snakes. They're cuddly danger noodles ^^"

What did you want to be as a kid?

"You're gonna laugh XD I wanted to be many different things. Among those is a farmer, a professional artist, a martial arts instructor, and, wait for it... A cashier who is also a fairy princess lol. These are all from varying ages XD"

How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood (trick question, a woodchuck couldn't chuck wood)

"He would chuck as much wood as a wood chuck could if a wood chuck could chuck wood!!!"

Thank you for the questions!! These ones were such fun to answer!!!

Also, is that your hamster?? Its so cute!!! I just wanna *Pets the precious thing*

[psych---ologically-deranged]

psyh 3x1 commentary ghosts

DH, Gayan Garcia Barmo, Roger Taylor, Chris Henze "me not funny", Ben Botten, I can't tell who's who. I think it's JRr & SF who are the garcia & taylor names. I didn't hear Kelly Kulchak introduce herself, but there is a woman's voice.

Corbin hair controversy tonight. I can't hear a thing.

Shawn as a teen. Who's going to play Shawn? JRr!

His stupid hair I love it. Judd from breakfast club.

Fun to write. & then Lassiter.

I wish they had captions.

Dang I wish we could have seen the other flashback. SS & BG as 18y/os with Shawn leaving aftergrad, Gus buying a motorcyle & going over the country & Gus going to college

I needed to have liveblogged this before

I love his room too.

If you're agonizing this over the off-season, then don't leave a cliff hanger!

His darn furby!

I'm GLAD they didn't pick it up right when his mom came back. His mom is already here again.

& I can't understand a thing in this commentary.

Four minutes in they fill in the blanks.

She's travelling & this really pays off in the finale & in lassie did a bad bad thing. I like this.

The dropping & breaking a phone stuff I love continuity between episodes

pinot bordeaux, now that I'm a wine person it's way funnier.

Oh right this is the gus boss episode!

THIS ACTOR WAS A FINALIST FOR LASSITER!

This is something they have been talking about since episode TWO in like season one!

KK: I just looked over at Dulé & it looks like he hasn't seen it.

SF: You know when protesters go boneless to make it hard for cops to put them into paddy wagons?

Cinnamon festival!

*calls him henry*

"Every time we talk you're about to not go on a date"

Where did goose come from?

"Unless it was approaching in a threatening manner"

Lassie saying "no" to therapy I love him.

Surjik the man!

Shawn completely assimilated into the office immediately, eating someone else's lunch.

Who needs 48 000 dollars to live? I don't! I need 32, the other 16 generally goes to you! I claim you on my taxes shawn! *married*

Shawn making eyes at her after Gus put her lunch in the photocopy machine. "What does she do?" "everyone." She IS isn't she

The overhead shot & the fight & all this stuff it's just so good. *goes limp* & then Shawn stands back up as soon as Gus "gets injured" he DOES care

& then Gus hasn't fied his appearance yet. KK: I can't wait for him to get out of jail. DH: !? SF: I have an episode idea to bring him back KK: NOT IRL DULÉ

JRr during the reading: *crossing fingers*

they were supposed to have the fbi here

Polio dome XD

Fearless Guster

Beautiful house indeed. They're right about the establishing shots.

They're getting caught watching.

A solid 20 minutes deciding what the squeak is going to be.

Spend two seasons establishing Gus the other way that they can do this & it means something. "It's only because my real job is on the line."

Who leaves candles lit?

Tiny little dollop of a woman.

The dutch?

"I like it" *everyone bursts out laughing*

"I've been wanting to put the word Spatz into a scene since the first season."

"bust out some willy wonka"

"so you GET NOTHING!"

"exactly"

Kind of sad that Gus thinks Shawn is doin that, but it's true.

"We couldn't get this dog to be ferocious enough"

CH: The problem is that the dog is canadian & they're so dang nice (they thought the dog was going to bite chris macdonald)

My feet won't move!

"How are you winning?" It's just like that tumblr post, "a good grade in therapy, normal to want, & possible to achieve."

"I will need to see what you see, wear what you wear, drink what you drink" Shawn is going too far. These two guys completely driven by food.

*dropping his cocoa* *droppin the other cocoa* "that dog is kind of an a-hole"

I love the whispering. Cloudy chance of murder with the thomas pink

One take!

Ooh tuesday the 17th, yeah!

he's getting to him by playing his autism.

heartbreak ridge XD XD XD

"Lemongrass goglobo"

"If you understand anything she says" girl I'm deaf.

Clearly nothing just happened. "for a nice farmer's breakfast" two eggs, two sausages, two pancakes, & a slab of ham, all for 1.99

noooo henry! This was supposed to be with his mom!

He hasn't spoken to her in three years, in 1x01 he

"not a very sincere apology"

The call is coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE The attic XD

a TWO MINUTE VERSION of gus climbing the stairs?

Speakerphone never getting quieter XD

I noticed that too! They forgot to film the "Gus?" before he hung up

"My air conditioner & heating guy disguise" *burning himself*

"there will be a shakespeare in the parking lot episode" WHEN?

He even visited alice bundy in prison, who was the one who messed with the lights in scary sherry with the sorority girls

"The towel is my life, the pool is third grade, & the high dive is my father" wtf "It's post-coital for him" girl what His shoes, I mean i do that too

"I could have stayed on that shot for forty seconds" and you should have

Homage to the princess bride

I wish we got to see the long version of the "lawn darts" line

Frankjim, great line.

Always with the hair

Oh no

"What happened between you two?" Girl weren't you there for the first twenty or so years of it? "Mom, we were both there"

They have been setting this up since the pilot. In that episode shawn responded to "why didn't you tell me you moved away" with "Sorry I was helping my mom through her divorce" On the pilot set discussion, they assumed it would be Henry in this convo not maddie. It means so much more here & I agree.

What is senior year? Is that gr12? I'm not USian

"It doesn't make any sense that your hair is brown" (he looks like he was blond as a kid tho imo)

You're right, there was no talking about it.

DH singing poorly is SO funny to me
