If your parents never taught you anything about cars, there is ALWAYS an autistic guy on YouTube who makes tutorials on how to do every bit of car maintenance with every model of car. There are tutorials on how to get gas, how to check your oil, how to change a tire, and it's always narrated by someone straight to the point who's just really passionate about cars and car maintenance.

some of the responses people give on this site (and on the wider internet in general) are frankly quite meanspirited which is why ive been hesitant to post more on here. i think we should be nicer to each other. im kind of tired of seeing casual bullying that we’ve seemingly decided is socially acceptable. it’s just not cool.

i’m gonna be real i fucking hate casual malice. i don’t like participating in it, it makes me feel icky. it makes me feel unsafe to be myself around anyone without hiding anything i’m self-conscious about (which is what i should be doing is conquering these social fears). it’s draining for me to be around.

it’s the last thing any of us need, for ourselves too. this is where meaningful authentic interactions is killed, and layers of irony erected to appear unaffected by anything that is poison for meaningful communication and connection thrives.

i will keep posting about this as long as it continues to bother me

PSA: The talk of alleged upcoming raids is causing a lot of unnecessary panic in the rp & askblog communities. It's almost certainly fake, though. Same old hoax, same old reblog bait and fear-mongering as we've seen a million times, like pridefall, which didn't happen.

Think critically when you see a post saying something bad is going to happen. Who is making what claims and what sources do they have for those claims? "I heard from Suzie-Q they were gonna do it" with no elaboration on who "they" is? That's not a source.

If you're really worried about it, go ahead and disable asks with media.

There is no need to panic over this. You're gonna be OK. Take a deep breath.

People loooove to romanticize bipolar disorder and it pisses me off. I’m not sure if I’ll ever be in a stable loving relationship because 4-6 times a year, I’m manic and completely not myself. I have to intensely monitor my sleep, my diet, and my routines to make sure I don’t go into an episode. I have to take several medications every day that have terrible side effects on my body and mind. I couldn’t hold a job until this year. I almost failed out of college multiple times because I was too psychotic to focus on school. Every time I tell someone I’m bipolar I can hear the fear or judgement in their voice. You don’t want bipolar. Mania is not a quirky thing that makes you interesting. This disease has almost killed me or ruined my life permanently many different times.

voting for the carat awards is now open!

i have compiled 2-5 of the most nominated carats from each category, and you can select whoever sticks out to you most :) however, you can only select one person for each category so choose wisely! ;)

just like before, you don't have to vote in every category. it's okay to leave some of them empty if you genuinely don't know who to pick.

voting will remain open until friday, november 29th at 11:59 pm (est)! the winners will be announced soon after. happy voting, and if you're nominated for a category... good luck!

By the way, and I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you get significantly more depressed in the wintertime, go to a doctor and ask for a blood test to check your vitamin D levels. Typically standard depressive disorders don't have a seasonal pattern (with exceptions of course), and a lot of seasonal affective disorder symptoms can be caused or made worse by a lack of vitamin D. In a lot of cases, you may need prescription strength vitamin D supplements from a doctor, so even if you're on a drug store over the counter supplement, it may not be enough. Go get the blood test!

I've been seeing a lot of posts lately talking about how no one comments/reblogs/replies/etc anymore, and, as someone who comments regularly on a lot of fanworks, it sometimes makes me wonder if my efforts are worth anything. Then I remember how much happiness I get from comments on my own work/posts and how much the community of fandom can matter, and I remember the power that can be found in spreading joy instead of disappointment.

So -- to everyone who comments on fanfiction: thank you. You make the writing process worthwhile and so very rewarding. You make people happy every day.

To all the people who reblog art and gifsets and meta and anything else with enthusiastic tags: thank you. You make people smile and promote interesting conversations and make being on Tumblr so much more fun.

To anyone who sends people asks about their works, whether it's unprompted or part of an ask game: thank you. You give people reasons to talk about things they love and feel like a part of a community.

To the people who makes reclists: thank you. You give us more to read while showing the author how much their work is loved and appreciated, benefitting so many people.

To everyone who organizes events and groups and blogs and dedicated to fandom: thank you. You build community and love and excitement so effectively and it's wonderful.

To all the authors and artists who respond to comments and build community: thank you. You make people smile with your work and then again with your response.

To everyone who contributes to fandom and community in all the other beautiful, varied ways that I can't even begin to list: thank you. You are why we're here.

And, finally, to every writer, visual artist, gifmaker, cosplayer, maker of edits, writer of meta, or creator of art in any other form: thank you. Your work is wonderful and you make fandom what it is, regardless of who sees your art or how much response you recieve.

Keep going, everyone. You are a part of something beautiful.

reblogs appreciated

// In a few days I should be getting a severance package from my job that ended in December. However, being that I'm now unemployed and likely will not be returning to work due to disability, I will need to begin promoting my art and try and pull in at least some income that way

I am a self taught artist and have a fairly decent skillset. Please consider commissioning me. I will also be trying to set up some bases and stuff for people to download and buy or leave a tip for from my ko-fi page

Happy Seollal/Lunar New Year! To celebrate, I got this lovely piece done by my friend Jihan (on twitter) of Minala and Bellara making rice cake soup together. Rice cake soup is a big part of Seollal traditions, with it representing turning another year older and good fortune for the new year

May you all have a happy new year and good luck throughout it 🩶🐍
