“Light it up blu-“
“WHY NOT RED. WHY NOT PURPLE. HELL, GIMME BLACK. MAKE EVERYTHING THE COLOR OF MY HOPES AND DREAMS. MY GOALS AND MY ASPIRATIONS. MY FAILURES AND SHORTCOMINGS. MY MIND AND MY HEART. MY-“ I scream, as they drag me away.

19: Too Much Energy (Auctober 2024)
Occasionally, I have an awful lot of energy and I need to burn it off somehow, either my bouncing on a trampoline, running around the house, something like that.
Mercury could sometimes have lots of energy and must move around to tire himself out, if that's even possible!
Check out my comic, Element Eon!

Happy Autism Acceptance Month! Reminder that the puzzle piece is an ableist symbol associated with Autism Speaks, especially when it is a blue puzzle piece. So use the infinity symbol for autism instead.
And one more thing. Don't Light it Up Blue! Light it Up Red Instead! Light it Up Blue is also associated with Autism Speaks.

THIS JUST IN: AUTISM SPEAKS... APOLOGIZES? 🤨
In an old comment of mine from 2024 on Aut2ask's page regarding the closure of Canada's branch this year, I alleged that Autism Speaks had no remorse for any of the material they released (IE: The ableist "I Am Autism" ad.) Somebody replied to me saying that I was spreading misinformation. I doubted it, as I'm normally on-top of these things, but gave research a spin anyway.
The commentor was actually right-- they HAD released an apology I hadn't seen! The 5th or 6th result on Google, right on the blog's main page.
I've already shared my thoughts on the apology (check my page/Autism Speaks tag for it; I don't post about Autism Speaks very much, it should be relatively easy to find); but I also shared that I had a hunch that this was recent, since I hadn't seen or heard any mentions of it before.
Thanks to the Wayback machine and a friend of mine, I've been able to get at least a rough answer to my question!
2024.
They released the ad on YouTube in 2009; got slammed for it almost immediately, even then; went radio silent for 15 years, and then released one article of apology in mid-2024. And it proceeded to get so little visibility that I didn't see a single Autism-focused page (including Autism Speaks' social media!) push it into the limelight. On top of that, it was only saved 12 times between May 2024 and now (February 22nd, 2025.)
Is it better than nothing? Yes. But do with that what you will.
I'm not a fan of the company. Never will be. I find them to be more trouble than they're worth. But only one thing irks me more than their existence, and it's an inaccurate argument. I'd like to see more Autistic people posting about this. Hopefully I can get a ball rolling.

The daily planet runs a front page article calling superman the light of mankind
Cue the batfam launching a counter campaign in support of Signal, the real Light of Mankind.
It starts as a joke but quickly derails into an all out war.
#bruce offended parent and signals biggest fan wayne#hes so petty about it during JL meetings. he shuts down all the lights on the watchtower#Batman we cant see#well thats not a problem cause the light of mankind should be able to light up the room while stating directly at superman who just#looks so resigned#Tim floods the internet with pictures of Duke using his powers and fighting villians all with the hashtag theRealLightOfMankind#Duke is having the time of his light#he poses for Tim and makes rainbows on days it rains and poses like sailor moon#its a fun joke for Duke#its a matter of life or death for the rest of them#Dick has to stop Damian from breaking out the kryptonite not knowing that Jason has already stolen it and is heading for metropolis#batfamily#batfam#bruce wayne#batman#signal#duke thomas#tim drake#red robin#dick grayson#nightwing#superman

Here I am, pushing the Jian Li (Akai Kotou! Zuko) = Jinshi (The Apothecary Diaries) agenda.
#atla#avatar the last airbender#zuko#atla fanart#prince zuko#atla art#kyoshi warriors#Kyoshi Warriors AU#Kyoshi Warrior Ursa AU#Akai Kotou#Solitary Red Island#zuko art#zuko fanart#Kyoshi Warrior Zuko#atla zuko#the apothecary diaries#jinshi#If you know where this pose is from then you're my best friend#Moon Spirit Jinshi you'll always be gorgeous enough to topple nations#Have another one sketched somewhere because that Jinshi-wakes-up-does-a-sword-kata-and-lies-on-the-floor-to-mope scene is literally Zuko#“I can't keep my secret forever. Even that girl who's ignorant about the oddest things will probably figure it out soon...”#“Or maybe she already knows... That'd certainly make things easier for me.”#I swear the more I read the light novels the more Zuko Jinshi becomes.#But anyway THAT scene#Is literally Zuko struggling to keep his secret from Katara and the Gaang later on in the AU/fic#He's like “I can't tell her. But I can't hide who I really am forever. I can't. Why won't she figure it out already?”#It's all very dramatic and very mopey and very Zuko#So yeah. You'll probably get more Jian Li = Jinshi stuff later.#Which is hilarious to me because Jinshi is very much aware of his otherworldly looks right? Right?#Jian Li/Zuko has NO idea of how smooth he can be at times. He's so stupidly unaware of his own beauty and I think that's the best thing ever

trying new coloring methods. 0/10 do NOT recommend, but hey at least i got something kinda okay out of it
#this was based on a sketch i posted a few days ago cuz i didnt have any ideas for compositions#-and i wanted to try a new rendering method i saw on youtube#the method btw is to start in greyscale so you can get the values right before using the curves tool to adjust colors#i ended up hating it though because my colors always wound up feeling basic#i think it works better in lighting situations where the light’s color is neutral#i used a bunch of gradient maps and overlay layers to try and fix it bc it was looking VERY muddy and weird#and i think i did successfully save it after a lot of frustration#but i will likely not be trying this method again cause i like using funky lighting and colors#art#fanart#digital art#dc comics#tim drake fanart#tim drake robin#tim drake#red robin fanart#robin fanart#dc robin#robin#red robin

02: Special Interests (Auctober 2024)
Other than the periodic table, I suddenly became very, VERY interested in Pokémon TCG cards lately! Collecting cards is cool, though I don't think I could keep up with an actual card battle haha
Mrs. Eddant loves collecting Pokémon Cards!
Check out my comic, Element Eon!

Sometimes I just sit here and think of the fact that every time someone hallucinates Jason Todd, they hallucinate him in his Robin mantle, barely out of it.
For everything that happened, actually, I think Jason would love to die as Bruce's son — except, he didn't.
He died no one's son. He died as Robin.
But most importantly, he was remembered like that. Like no one's son, just a failed sidekick. So now, when his family wants his ghost to haunt them for their mistakes, guilt and saviour complexes, they taint their memories of a boy that was their family once by moulding him in a faceless mantle.
Isn't that just Sad.
#obsessed how in some comics his hallucinations are literally faceless horror-like#like dark figure and a dark nothingness with only blue eyes lighting up from the shadow#or parts where he is a hallucination of a corpse - quite literally the dead form#can't believe that nicest hallucination/ghost of jason was in fucking JOKER'S mind like urgh#jason todd#red hood#batman#dcu#dcu comics#dc universe#batfamily#batfam

Additionally, go red or gold for autism instead of blue! Acceptance, not awareness too! Use the infinity symbol as well instead of a puzzle piece!
Hey everyone, it's Autism Acceptance Month
Meaning
Time to take down Autism Speaks
A man called David Page started this on Tiktok. His autistic son took his life, and due to that he wants to make a change, he wants to shut down the organisation Autism Speaks.
Why?
Only around ONE PERCENT of Autism Speaks' revenue goes to helping autistic people and their families.
Autism speaks supports eugenics. They want to cure or get rid of autism. Autism can't be cured, it should be accepted and accommodated.
The majority of the people working there are not autisic.
They spread misinformation and stigma that autistic people should be feared and that they ruin families.
Autism speaks silences real autistic voices
How do we shut them down?*
Call Autism Speaks' phones lines as much as you can this month and keep them busy, so that less donations go through.
Keep their website open this month to overwhelm the server.
Use the #autismspeaks on every social media for random spam, so that its harder for their content to be found.
Live stream! Post! Share other posts! Talk about why Autism Speaks is harmful! Be loud and our voices will be heard.
*I'm using the suggestions from David Page's videos
Go follow David Page!! I found him on tiktok. Share his videos on other socials.
