Complete with a beautiful stable, a pool with a view onto the ocean and a lovely garden, this Estate is one of the most coveted properties in Brindleton Bay. Now owned by the Darnell Family, it is sure to make the most wonderful home.

hello! can i request a dj pon3 and/or rarity comforting someone who lost there FP? its fine if u cant, ty :3

As someone who also recently lost their FP, this is something that I’ve been needing comfort for this as well.

Losing someone you deeply care about is incredibly painful, and it's natural to have really tough days where the grief feels overwhelming. However, with time, the intensity of that pain often lessens. You won't forget them, but the sadness becomes more manageable, and you'll start to find comfort and healing as you move forward. ❤️‍🩹✨

I hope this helps @punkvenomshank

please take this with a grain of salt because this comes from someone who likely does not have ASPD, but who does have some ASPD traits along with having NPD and having either BPD or BPD traits (+ also has a friend with ASPD who I've discussed many of those with).

But, re:

Anonymous asked: Hi, I want to learn more about ASPD and how it is experienced by individuals because I know media portrayals have been awful but just wondering - are there any fictional characters who display aspd traits in as realistic a manner as possible? Thanks!

imo (+ in some other people's opinions), here are some characters that have some realistic ASPD traits, in no particular order:

(disclaimer: the quality of the representations is always debatable and exactly how good or how bad/ableist the rep is may be subjective and depends on the viewpoints and experiences of each individual)

Bibi Reden from I Love Amy (protagonist, healthy growth ending, without unrealistically losing her aspd traits or such. low-masking, except when she wants to be manipulative, which is often. by the end, she gets into a romantic relationship that grows in a healthy direction with a girl. identified as a 'yandere', but very much seems to be written and characterized with ASPD in mind. definitely a sympathetic portrayal that also touches in sanism and such. also has BPD traits.)

Sera Himeura from ib: instant bullet (not the protag, but one of the major characters. parents loved her, but was neurodivergent by genetics. hero complex, strong superficial desire to become justice/heroic. very heavily implied to have ASPD. very sympathetic portrayal. internalized sanism. tries to be a "hero" but ultimately believes herself to be inherent "evil" due to her moral values being determined by popular media with neurotypical-centric ideas of heroism, which contrasts too much with her natural lack of empathy, total inability to feel grief, atypical destructive & sadistic tendencies, etc.)

Ivan from ALNST (uhhhhh it's very easy to find information on him online but tldr: heavily ASPD-coded, stems from childhood trauma from growing in the slums, high-masking. definitely sympathetic, and not a villain, antagonist, or demonized character. has internalized sanism.)

Alina Gray from Magia Record (low-masking/no-masking case. 'crazy artist' trope but sort of subverted/expanded on. sometimes very much villainous, sometimes antagonistic, but you mainly want to read/watch her personal stories for this in which she is the protagonist and sympathetic. still def ProblematicTM rep just in case anyone would prefer to avoid those.)

other, more questionable or more minor reps:

Bing an Ben's protagonist (and another major character, though that is a major spoiler) suffers from a fictional rare-case psychiatric disorder that gives him various things including ASPD traits (and/or he develops either ASPD or ASPD traits due to childhood trauma caused by his having of that fictional disorder). the rare condition causes him to be subjected to extreme medical & societal ableism and sanism ever since he was born, and from a very young age he lives his life by trying extremely hard to perfectly mask 24/7 everywhere, fully knowing the very moment his mask slips and the world sees him for what he is (a "lunatic"/"madman") is the very moment he loses all his rights to being viewed as a "person" and a "human being" in the eyes of the sanist ableist world. indeed, his story/character deals a lot with the sanist utter demonization & dehumanization faced by people considered "insane" by society. [Also, he definitely has BPD as well.] He's 100% written very sympathetically, but also he is ABSOLUTELY a very, very ProblematicTM fave, judging by what he does in the novel, and the same goes for the romance in Bing an Ben. Please take note of all the content warnings for this novel if you are going to read it. In any case, he is protagonist and focus character, with a happy ending where he gets together with the man he loves.

this definitely isn't a major example for ASPD, but Kaguya-sama's title character & female lead Kaguya has what seems to be OSDD-1a, and while I'm not sure she necessarily has ASPD, she definitely has some ASPD traits (& BPD traits possibly?) that shows the most when one of her alters is fronting. both/all come from her childhood trauma. internalized sanism, feels like a fundamentally bad/wrong person for being abnormal -- very low empathy especially at young age, inability to properly feel grief. hates herself for not knowing how to Do things the way everyone else seems to do, without scheming plotting and manipulating, etc. [Also, the male lead/her love interest is really NPD-coded (he doesn't seem to lack empathy, but otherwise he's got all sorts of NPD traits. a very rare depiction of a 'ConventionallyTM Morally Good' narcissist in media tbh, which is refreshing to see)! they're both totally sympathetic non-villainous protagonists of the story (with a happy ending) and their story is very good and, like, simply incredibly neurodivergent in it's very premise imo]

other than that I've heard people say this about Sherlock Holmes (the original canon) too? Which. Yeah I can see it!

there may be more that I'm forgetting at the moment, but here are the instances I can think of offhand! hope this is of use or interest to someone. personally I do like all of those media a lot and would be glad if this could prompt anyone to check them out

hihi!! tondemo wonders anti-voter here again!! regarding the person asking why I did that -- yeah, you were right that it's pretty much that I think it's overly well known/overhyped and I wanted something more obscure for the polls. I use the polls for artist/music discovery and think it's more fun that way!! but more than that, I sent that ask because (despite its popularity) I don't think tondemo is a great representation of sasakure.uk as an artist overall? its fun peppy vibe is part of what makes it popular, but it's also not something you see a ton of in his work -- the closest comparison I can think of is maybe puppet theater of twee box? or maybe weekend is coming, but that has far more serious/darker lyrics. most songs are just slightly emotional in a different direction (too melancholy, too angsty, too atmospheric, hopeful/uplifting in a different way, etc). but either way -- most of his other fast upbeat songs don't quite have the same Peppy Happy Fun Silly vibe tondemo has. for this reason I've met a handful of people who Only like tondemo and don't explore sasakure.uk's discography beyond it because most of his other top songs dont really fit that vibe, which is a shame because sasakure's discography is MASSIVE?? like I'm sure there's something else in there you'd like if you liked tondemo wonders!! and for this reason I'm happy xeno was what ended up getting polled -- that atmospheric experimental slightly chiptune synthesized style is way more prevalent in sasakure's work and therefore anyone who explores sasakure.uk's work beyond the poll is more likely to find similar songs they like. xeno is well know enough that people recognized it, but also not SO well known that it'd be an easy "yes, heard before" for the average vocaloid fan. fantastic pick!! thank you other askers for having good taste!! anyways, hope you don't mind receiving another essay from me -- I don't even really remember what I wrote in the first. feel free to post either of these ones the titles go live idrc im just very passionate about sasakure.uk LMAO

If I included your ask, xeno was actually submitted 3 separate times! So it's nice to see there is an appreciation for sasakure's work outside of tondemo wonders. And I do hope there is at least one person who wasn't familiar with xeno before who checked it and the rest of sasakure's songs out! Again I am very glad to be a place for finding new artists, hehe

If there's one thing about me, it's that if you put fishing in a video game, I'm gonna go absolutely bonkers with delight over it.
