Hello!!
As you can probably tell, I don't really do extensive bios or intro posts. In the future I might start making meet the artist pictures every once in a while, but for now I'll just put basic stuff here.
This is mostly to list my fandom's I'll be making art of / have made art for that will be updated periodically so people can get a better idea of what to expect from me.
Active Interests
Listed (roughly) in order of most to least
- Chonny Jash
- Still Wakes the Deep
- Cult of the Lamb
- Sonic The Hedgehog
- Slay The Princess
- ALIEN
- Little Nightmares
- Vocaloid
- Happy Tree Friends
- KinitoPET
- FNF
- Murder Drones
- Indigo Park
- Garten of BanBan
- Poppy Playtime
This list can change or be reordered as needed and I'd love to talk about any of them :]
I also have an HTF au called Ghostpill I used to post about, but I mostly keep it to myself nowadays. You can find the posts through the ghostpill tag if you're curious.
Commissions are open!
Right now I only take nitro and other online currency commissions
I want to get more confident in my style before I charge money directly and I'm not in a crisis.
I do have a post on commissions but its outdated and I will remake it soon!
Extra stuff
As an actual intro.. My name is Skid. I use He/They pronouns, but if you're fine with neos I also use xe/it. I consider myself active in all forms of art and I'm very passionate on my creativity.
I'm also either kinda awkward and closed off or very silly :3
I also don't really have a DNI other than people who are against who I am / what I openly stand for, or people who otherwise want to bring drama to my page.
That's about it for now!

Stop putting 'Too Sweet' by Hozier in your Sylus playlists
I am sorry—this was clickbait. I don’t actually care what you do with your life. But I need you to hear me out for just a second, okay? I am extremely not neurotypical about two things: Love and Deepspace, and Andrew John Hozier-Byrne. And I have seen more than one person in the tags talk about "Too Sweet" by Hozier being a perfect song for Sylus and MC. My only discourse about this is that Too Sweet is a song about a man who makes continuous self-sabotaging life decisions being incompatible with a partner who has her life put together. In my humble opinion, both Sylus and MC are hot messes of people in completely different ways. Anyway, it’s a good song so I don’t blame you for putting it in every playlist ever. In fact, you should. But if you're into this song, I want to show you a couple more pls pls pls 🙏​
I might just be autistic, but both Hozier's music and Love and Deepspace have something extremely important in common… and that’s BEAUTIFUL MEN YEARNING!!!1 And that’s not even to mention the haunting, raw sexuality we can project onto the stories that each of these things feeds to us. That's why I needed to make this post on the 1% chance that someone might hop on this brainrot train with me. So let me present, for just a moment of your time (if you're willing): other Hozier songs that fit Sylus so well I want to combust about it.
De Selby (Parts 1 & 2):
“At last, when all of the world is asleep You take in the blackness of air The likes of a darkness so deep That God—at the start—couldn't bear.” [azlyrics] [gaelic translation]
Imagine just casually writing THE love song that so beautifully says, “Before you were in my life, I kinda understood how God felt before he created the universe.” Excuse me? Andrew just dropped this stanza on us without so much as a cw: fuck you. And if that sickening portrait of gnawing loneliness isn’t enough, we have all the Genesis God references. Since all the LIs in the game are at some point likened to gods or rivaling gods with their power, then add the reverberating instrumentals and chillingly slow vocals in this 2-minute killer, tell me how this song does not fit Sylus. Not only that, but we also have imagery of his lover descending upon him like the night (which is invoked during Part 1 in the Gaelic verse), and I know that’s on the nose for Sylus but come on. I need you guys writing smut to have an orgasm during De Selby (at least Part 2) because it might change ur brain chemistry I'm just saying.
“When you fall on me like night—I wanna kill the lights.” [azlyrics]
This song still rules irt its playing with darkness symbolism, but it also refers to the darkness in the singer’s lover—which in Sylus’ case is MC and we all were there when she shot the guy in the heart like his freaky eye was telling her: “And your heart, love, has such darkness—I feel it in the corners of the room…” my goddddddd stop right there I can’t handle the METAPHORrrr. You think Sylus gives a flying fuck about MC’s frivolous morality bullshit? No he wants her to embrace her own darkness, sit under the blankies with him and cuddle after doing crimes and a beat poetry session. This is some fucking Hannibal Lecter beyond-dark-romance shit. I’m not even trying to write a dissertation here (and yet…)
Talk (from Wasteland, Baby!):
“I'd be the sweet feeling of release mankind now dreams of, That's found in the last witness before the wave hits, marveling at God… Imagine being loved by me.” [azlyrics]
Not only does this song utilize insane Greek mythology metaphor and Biblical comparison but the overall meaning of it is, “I want you so bad, I need to speak poetically to hide how down bad I am for you.” That sounds kinda like Old World Sylus and all his pretty nicknames to me.
NFWMB:
“If I was born as a black thorn tree, I'd wanna be felled by you, held by you, Fuel the pyre of your enemies… Ain't it warming you, the world going up in flames?” [azlyrics]
This whole song just some hard, deep and steady yearning for 4 and a half minutes. Are you kidding? The acronym in the title stands for Nothing Fucks With My Baby, which is sung in the chorus like some quietly violent war chant—soft, dark, and powerful. Anyway don’t tell me Mr. Sylus “Give me a list and then go to bed. I’ll take care of it” Loveanddeepspace wouldn’t scorch the earth for the love of his life—or do one better and stand by her side while she scorches the earth herself; here’s the protective/supportive mans anthem you ordered babes.
It Will Come Back:
“I know who I am when I'm alone—I'm something else when I see you. You don't understand, you should never know How easy you are to need.” [azlyrics]
This song has repeated imagery that warns of the dangers of taking care of a feral animal, and then compares the feral animal to the singer as a lover. Like fuck off, that’s sexy and haunted. And we know that not only does Sylus love animals more than people, but he’s pretty animalistic himself if we are to believe that maybe he’s secretly a demon or something.
Arsonist’s Lullaby:
“Don't you ever tame your demons, but always keep them on a leash.” [azlyrics]
Remember in Lost Oasis when MC goes on some tangent wondering what Sylus' past was like? Well it was this song. It's about troubled youth and learning to grow in your darkness. Also how cool is that imagery of demons? Hey Sylus, what do you have to say about demons? I'll wait. In the meantime I'm tattooing this shit on my clavicle
BONUS ROUND Through Me:
“Everytime I’d burn through the world, I’d see that the world—it burns through me.”
We got a man and we got some fire allusions so there ya go.
Blood Upon the Snow:
“To all things housed in her silence, Nature offers a violence.”
Blood upon the snow—it's red and white! Red!! And white!!! Also kind of a Sylus x Zayne anthem lbr
Ok I hope you found another song that inspires you to make Sylus art or fanfic with!! And before you ask, yes I've already assigned Hozier songs to every other love interest in the game. Ok thanks for reading!!! 🏃‍♀️​💨​

an introduction to: my 90s fame dr!
please read this god please there's art in here also ive put 5+ months of work into this dr at this point so i swear that there's interesting shit in here yall I SWEAR I AM NICHE.
Tumblr media
reblogs greatly appreciated! this took me forever teehee
ohhh my god this is a long time in the making, ive put this off for so, so long and i really couldn't tell you why. this can act as a script me into ur dr post if you like as well!
for starters, you can find my pinterest board for this dr here :3 just in case u want some cool visuals i guess :3
-
so lets get the basics outta the way shall we?

-

s/o: robert sean leonard
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"hey, do i recognise this guy?" you might! he played notable roles such as neil perry in dead poet's society, claudio in much ado about nothing, and james wilson in house md!
best friends: dylan kussman, allelon ruggiero, alexandra powers, and kimya dawson
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"do i recognise more of these people?" again, probably! dylan, al, and alex were all in dead poets society, and kimya is a musician best known for her indie songs, some featured in the movie juno!
-
my career! (oh good lord)
writing based - undedicated musings
(1986-1993)
alright so this is a bit hard to explain, bear with me. undedicated musings is an anonymous newsletter-based poetry... publication? run by me, under the pen name 'chartreuse', and the whole shtick is that i write poetry, love letters, and whatever else to the person i'll end up spending my life with, but the recipient of said writings is completely unknown, even to me, so im kinda just writing to nobody. until! i actually set my eyes on someone (obviously rsl) and then the writings start to get a bit more specific and yearn-y and personal. since the recipient is anonymous, all the writings are written for a 'vermillion'. both chartreuse and vermillion's identities are revealed when we get married in 1993. and no, rsl doesn't know that i'm chartreuse, nobody does until i reveal myself. i think its kinda cool :3
film based - dead poet's society
(1988-1989)
so for starters, i was part of the crew that worked on the set of dead poets society, now all my friends (except kimya, her and i become friends in the late 90s) make sense! my actual job on set is kind of a vague be-here-and-do-a-bit-of-everything type deal, so there's no set title beyond "assistant to lead" even tho it's essentially government assigned 'friendship' LMAO. but! me and the cast get on like a house on fire, so i kinda just get to tag along on their wacky teenage-ish boy adventures. this totally does not stem from a desire to be part of a teenage boy friend group, and i am, in fact, totally cisgender. i am also lying. anyway, without going into too much detail, me and my s/o-not-yet-s/o (will be referring to him as rsl from this point on) sorta have a painstakingly long will they wont they type deal, because i guess i like torturing myself. we meet a day before all the actual film stuff starts just as a sort of preliminary get to know eachother because you'll be in close proximity VERY often for months. thats some time in march - june-ish? of 1988 (i shift to my dr the day before!) and we don't actually get together until june of 1989. so.
also! some changes to the movie because i can make those: knox overstreet is now played by matthew lillard instead of josh charles, because josh charles is a fucking zionist and i dont want to associate with him in any reality! knox also isnt a b plot to the movie at all, instead focusing on meeks and pitts because i find them much more interesting! and also knox's b plot is creepy as hell! also, the racism against natives (read this!) is completely gone! no thanks!
music based - MAURZI
(1988-2004 technically)
strap in boys because this is the main event of this dr and the lore is VAST. MAURZI (must be spelled in all caps, like MF DOOM) is a sort of musical person/character i've made to tell the story of via a series of albums. i release my first single in october of 1988 titled "lunarian", which is a fun little song about a being from the moon arriving on earth and having some inter-planetary culture shock. and thats the only song i've actually planned! i release 6 total albums that map out the MAURZI storyline kinda
- MAURZI (1989)
- GONE TO SHIT! (1991)
- Charmed (1992)
- I found Him in Santa Barbara (1995)
- Waterworks (1998)
- also bibliography (2004) but those are released as songs By Me and not MAURZI, just released under the same artist. MAURZI storyline ends with Waterworks.
now here's where you get the very extensive MAURZI lore. MAURZI is a sort of alternate-universe representation of me, where in i'm much more famous than i actually am in my dr, and i am absolutely RUINED by my fame in a fuck ton of ways. each album is a different section of her life so i'll explain it album by album. also for reference, in my dr capitalism/ currency isnt a thing, but in the MAURZI... verse? it is. because i like anti capitalist art! same goes for most other media im in/ participate in, actually. MAURZI uses she/her pronouns btw, i dont.
MAURZI - my self-titled album is about as close and personal to my life as i'll get, which an average amount because i still throw in some songs about shit that i have not at all done/ experienced. (ex. songs about cheating, toxic relationships, and things along those lines. thankfully ive had a mostly healthy relationship with relationships! except that one time!) MAURZI is new to the music scene but she's here to make some lovely tunes to help process some stuff! artists im taking inspiration from include (but are not limited to): sarah kinsley, dodie, jeff buckley, tv girl, mitski, and peach pit.
GONE TO SHIT! - MAURZI's first album blew the fuck up! now she's thrown into the midst of dealing with an incomprehensible amount of attention on her at all times, which she was absolutely not prepared for. what does she do to cope? sex drugs and rock n roll, baby! she also gets addicted to 2 outta those 3 things! can you guess which ones?? now, obviously, this album is entirely fictional and is only tangentially inspired by some life events, heavy emphasis on the tangentially. artists im taking inspiration from include (but are not limited to): the nonstick pans, panic! at the disco, forest, david bowie, chappel roan, and king gizzard & the lizard wizard.
Charmed - the love song album! this is basically comprised of songs i sorta wrote about rsl, but changed up a fuck ton because i wrote them while i was pining and did Not want him to knkw who they were about. in terms of MAURZI stuff, she meets someone just after deciding that she's gotta clean up her act if she wants to exist healthily. recovering alongside a loved one and them being a motivator for recovery! now i should specify here that MAURZI's s/o is not the same as mine, and is entirely gender neutral/ doesn't even have a canon(?) human appearance at all. they're named Vermillion because we love a callback! artists im taking inspiration from include (but are not limited to): the smiths, siouxsie and the banshees, james blake, queen, laufey, and her's.
I found Him in Santa Barbara - yknow how when a banana ripens too much and it starts to tuen brown? yeah imagine that logic but applied to recovery, i guess. NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO REITERATE THAT MAURZI AND I ARE TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND MAURZI IS JUST A CHARACTER. essentially MAURZI had a spiritual awakening and "found god." but what that ACTUALLY means is that she started viewing vermillion as a sort of god? but she's keeping it on the down low (making an album about it) because she doesn't want vermillion to thing she's CRINGE. themes of loving a god, being IN love with a god, being in lust with a god, temporarily thinking youre a god? stuff along those lines. its a bit intense, VERY experimental and.. heavy? both in themes and in musical style for some portions. this is my fav album out of all of them if you couldnt tell. artists im taking inspiration from include (but are not limited to): sleep token, WILLOW, type o negative, slipknot, lemon demon (specifically songs off spirit phone), hozier, violent vira, pierce the veil, gorillaz kinda, bjork, kate bush, deftones, destroy boys, and rammstein probably.
Waterworks - so yknow how MAURZI was having a whole trouble with god moment? yeah well thats gone now, no i haven't figured out how that'll work narratively, thats for me to figure out in like 10 years from now (now being 1988, naturally.) we've returned to our self-titled roots in terms of musical style! now we've just got some fun themes of trauma and such! and then that's the and of MAURZI as a character story wise, as i said earlier the album after this one is just a Me album. same artist inspo as self titled!
and guess what! music lore isnt even fuckin done! my music in this dr is a multiverse in itself goddamn. so basically the album covers for each album tell a completely seperate story about a completely seperate alter ego/ character/ whatever named Moonzi. name given by my audience (which is my excuse for coming up with such a shitty name and then keeping it.) the story of moonzi, without going into too much detail because i dont wanna type it all out, is a sci-fi type story about a being from the moon (lunarian callback!) on a quest to bring this space artifact back to its original place, basically. a bit more on it later, emphasis on a bit. also! each album cover is drawn by a different artist, and each album artist animates one official music video off their respective album, just cuz i like art and stuff! those music videos kinda follow the moonzi storyline loosely, but incorporate MAURZI elements. is this confusing? hope not. drawings!
Tumblr media
writing based - novels
can you believe im still not done? like not even close? certified yapper. anyway! my 3 fiction novels (Manchester, NH - 1991, Curator Rye, 1997, Sand Dollars + Pearls - 2008) are about my ocs basically! thats it really, i dont feel the need to share the plots of those tbh.
writing based - autobiographies
two? yep! one is a fictional autobiography about MAURZI (MAURZI - 1999) and one is a non fictional autobiography about me (Radio Free Marley - 2012.) take a shot every time i say MAURZI and you will need to get your stomach pumped. she just. she means a lot to me :3
film based - doctor who
(1994-1999)*
*these dates are when im on the show btw, not its total runtime, same applies to other cr existing shows.
big disclaimer: never seen doctor who. dont know the plot, dont know which doctor i'm gonna be, i just wanna be in it.
so! my version of the doctor is kinda weird. its one doctor, but played by two people, but theyre one person. we're both the doctor. and by we i mean both me and rsl, obviously. the viewer sees the doctor as two different people, but NOBODY ELSE IN THE DAMN SHOW besides our little companion buddy guy (played by my cr friend fish!) SEES, ACKNOWLEDGES, OR IS ABLE TO VIEW THE DOCTOR AS TWO PEOPLE. its really complicated and i really did not have to make it that way, but its cool to me so i really dont care. also we're breakjng the doctor who cycle of boring suit and tie (this is NOT about you 15 <3) and going steampunk-esque. again, cuz i wanna.
film based - house md
(2005 - 2010)
marley veitch be in a show without rsl challenge (failed.) i play a character i made up named Nanette Amesbury who is essentially wilson's first ex wife. does he have a canon first ex wife? think so (i actually havent finished house oops.) do i care? you can take a guess. nanette (nicknamed ninny - which im well aware means dumb) is the director of the pediatrics department at princeton plainsboro and she kinda has a fwb type deal with wilson before figuring out shes a lesbian, having a crush on cuddy, being besties with kutner, then leaving the show in season 6. (zeth if ur reading this yes i made her show up for more than 2 seconds she just. means so much to me. also i want cudbury content.) im also a writer for the show so im there for its entire run time :3 i really like this show :3
film based - moonzi
(2016)
YEAHHHHH BABY SHES BACK!!! moonzi's storyline gets adapted into an adult swim animated tv show! i do screenwriting, stiryboarding, and voice acting! style wise, think teen titans mixed with bojack horseman mixed with archer. sick space visuals also!
comedy based - dying art
(2020)
idk i wanted to do a standup special! dunno what it's about. ill leave that up to future me to decide because this isn't happening for 32 damn years and i really just dont wanna come up with a standup special rn.
film based - radio free marley
(whenever)
i wanted a biopic, but i wanted it to be both about me and MAURZI, and how points in my life influenced or inspire songwriting. so the episode structure is like
ep 1: about me, point in my life
ep 2: about MAURZI, point in her life thats sorta related but not entirely to the events in ep 1
ep 3: about me, point in my life
ep 4: about MAURZI, point in her life thats sorta related but not entirely to the events in ep 3
ep 5: you get the idea
and then this goes on for 12 episodes and ends with the MAURZI story wrapping up and with me sorta retiring kinda. dont know when it'll be made, probably at some point in my 60s or whatever. im permashifting if you couldnt tell btw.
and thats it! after all this im just kinda existing and living life and whatever else. so with that outta the way i'll list some fun facts and i'll FINALLY BE DONE JESUS CHRIST IVE BEEN WRITING THIS FOR LIKE 3 HOURS.
- i live in new york city! manhattan to be specific
- i also have a lake house in new hampshire because i Need to be in a rural area at some points
- my house's interior design is very 70s themed and its WHIMSICAL AND FUN! maximalism, whimsigoth, nooks and crannys to be in, fun and varied seating options, conversation pit, loft bedroom, whole 9 yards. ive also got a gazebo on my roof!
- i have 2 siblings in my dr (not here im an only child in my cr womp womp) named lia and monty, theyre my best friends in my cr!
- ive also got a cat! she's a ragdoll kitty named yvonne, shes a sweetheart!
- i scripted out light pollution so the sky is all pretty at night, highly recommend you do the same
- im in STOMP at one point, dont know or care when, i just wanna be in it
- robin williams........... he is a father figure to me................ sniff sob
- yes i scripted out his death i simply cannot deal with that
- PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND WALKABLE SOCIETY!!!!! NO MORE CAR BASED US SOCIEY WOOOO!!!
- i cant fucking believe i havent mentioned this yet but im scottish?? im not scottish in my cr i was just thinking about david tennant when i was forming the dr idea back in january and it stuck. MAURZI is american tho

I've always had issues with clothing fabrics and textures. When I was a kid, I remember asking my mom to cut off every tag because they were itchy, I couldn't wear jeans for so many years because the seams felt spiky, and I would literally cry every time I was put in a turtleneck sweater. Dresses have also been very difficult for me because I was always too tall for my age and most of the time they didn't fit right. But then when I was in my teens my mom befriended a seamstress who knew how to make dresses and it was so great because for a while she would make me custom dresses that ACTUALLY FIT! And I was sooo happy because I could finally wear dresses made from fabrics that I picked out myself so they were comfy, and I could ask her to make adjustments whenever it felt uncomfortable, without sacrificing how pretty the dresses looked! And I actually liked dresses for the first time in my life... But then a few years ago, my mom was talking to another seamstress on the block who told her that the one who made my dresses would complain to her about how "special", "picky" and "tough" I was, and that was the end of it... And now I hate dresses again lol... but that really hurt me like you can't even imagine, like, all my life I've been called sh*t like this, and now I've learned about sensory issues and the autism spectrum and I can't help wondering if maybe I might fall somewhere on it? It would sure explain so much, but it kinda sucks to think that all those years I was made to believe that I was a problem, was actually just something making my autistic brain upset, and it sucks because you realize how much empathy and understanding people lack, and at this point I don't even think they would change if they knew it was autism. Anyways, I wish for the world to always treat you, and anyone else who is struggling, kindly.
I'm sorry you lost that seamstress, it sounds like it was an amazing setup. I'm sure there are others out there with the same skills and nicer personalities who could help you find sensory friendly clothes.
You are definitely not a problem! I wish the world was more understanding of people with different experiences and struggles. But I've found the more I talk about my own experiences, the more understanding the people around me start to have, so there is some hope ❤️

NEW USERNAME local-queer-disappointment -> drop-dead-dropout
unpinning my other post because i want to talk a little about me and this space that i've created! hi i'm alex and i dropped out of high school twice lol
i think a dni is stupid because people never listen anyways, which is why i haven't had one, but i still see the value in at least telling people who this little corner is for.
also YELL AT ME ON DISCORD I'M woahits_alex.mp3 IF U ASK ME ABOUT FIC RECS FOR MY FANDOMS I'LL CRY WITH HAPPINESS
anyways opinion stuff under the cut. you don't have to read it, and you don't even have to listen if you do, but i might argue with you (<- serial arguer) so if you want to avoid the Discourse here ya go.
you are welcome here:
- ALL queers. trans men, trans women, nonbinary, intersex, poc queers, xenogender, "contradictory" labels like mspec gays/lesbians lesboys/turigirls/sapphileans (omg it's me!!), slur reclaims, detransitioners (who are not transphobic), mspec lesbians, aro/ace and all variations thereupon, unlabeled, questioning, etc. i love all of you. i love the community that we share. we are family, whether or not some of us want to be, and exclusionism is Not Funky Fresh!!
- pro Palestine!! i don't always rb posts as much as i used to (i am scared of spreading misinformation) but i think i'll start doing that again! (don't forget your daily click guys)
- jewish people. i am specifically adding this one to say that because of the shitty Everything, i've seen a lot of concerning antisemitic stuff recently so i'm just, yk, putting this out there.
- disabilities/cluster b disorders/systems/AAC users. i am not any of these things so if i say/do something out of line please tell me! but i love you guys and you're absolutely welcome here.
- proshippers (if this bothers you block and move on)
- furries. not personally one of y'all but i think you're neat and you make cool art :]
- literally, like, anyone, as long as you're not a dick
you are not welcome here:
- terfs, transphobes, exclusionists, anti-mspec, anti-lesboy, and people who think transandrophobia is "fake" or whatever. go away i don't like you (or at least be prepared to be blocked or yelled at)
- similarly to last, anyone who starts queer infighting or hates on less visible queers/strangers who don't "look" queer, the whole "bi girl's straight bf" nonsense (i don't care if you think someone is cishet. you have no way of knowing that. let's stop hating people for immutable characteristics and start having thoughtful criticisms of people's actions thanks)
- ZIONISTS. BYE BYE
- (but also antisemites because come on now let's notttt. judiasm ≠ zionism)
- ableists, fatphobia, racists/bigots, general dickheads
- antishippers (again, you can either leave now or expect to be argued with)
other general stuff:
- i accept anonymous asks! and also non anonymous ones. ask me shit idk
- i am autistic and VERY gullible. if i reblog a "bait" post, or something that's clearly fake or a joke with a genuine reaction, i'm probably not playing some 5d irony chess i'm probably just stupid. sorry y'all i'm trying :\
- i don't rb nsfw. not as, like, a rule, i just don't see the value in doing so lol. if i ever did i'd tag it and probably update this
UPDATE: thought i should clarify, i don't rb nsfw but i do rb nsfw humor, like dick jokes and stuff. hope there's no confusion
- i argue with people!! i enjoy arguing with people!! usually it's in replies and not reblogs but still. if you are allergic to stuff like that maybe don't follow me? i also rb "discourse" posts, mostly transmasc support stuff and callouts of transandrophobia, general solidarity stuff with the trans community or lgbt community as a whole, proship stuff, politics, current events, that kinda thing.
- this is, shockingly, supposed to be a fandom blog! (i got carried away; i always do.) current fandoms include: ace attorney (the one this blog was supposed to be about), doctor who (childhood hyperfixation come back to bite my ass), and splatoon (no excuse). also mha is basically my abusive boyfriend stockholm syndroming me to stay at this point but i'm trying to get better (not). you can find the records of my failing recovery at @alex-is-losing-sleep-over-krbk /hj (i also sometimes shamelessly rb this blog's posts over there lol)
and i guess since i'm mentioning fandoms, here are my fav ships: wrightworth, klapollo, franmaya, thoschei, pearlina, agent 24, & cuttletavio.
anyways, that's about it. love you all :]

So the tags on my rambling from last night got me curious about the difference between hyperfixation, which I've generally seen mentioned as a symptom of ADHD, and special interest, which I exclusively see referred to as a symptom of Autism. The answer seems to be that there isn't really an agreed-upon answer.
I don't have it in me to comb thru actual scholarly articles via university resources I still have access to, but according to the commercial articles and anecdotal blog posts I could find? It kinda seems like special interests and hyperfixations haven't really been robustly defined by any sort of research, especially not in contrast to each other. Or else such research is being ignored in favor of vague anecdotes, which is frustrating if true. Most everything seemed to rely heavily on anecdote, or else just completely unsourced claims.
I should've kept a list of what I looked at, but I didn't because it was an impulsive, low-effort research attempt. So just keep that in mind, don't take what I say as gospel, and consider poking around yourself.
•••
Anyways, in the stuff I did glance at, hyperfocus seems to be the best researched factor involved here. The article everyone keeps sourcing describes hyperfocus as a phenomenon occurring among adhd, autistic, and schizophrenic people. The articles also seemed to agree that hyperfocus occurs as a consequence of special interest and hyperfixation.
Both hyperfixation and special interests are generally defined as a neurodivergent person focusing on something to the point that it is detrimental to their health and/or social wellbeing. As for what differentiates them, the answers varied a lot. Hyperfixations are generally shorter, and special interests are stereotypically lifelong, but not all special interests HAVE to originate in childhood and they may notnlast forever, and sometimes hyperfixations can last for months or come back throughout a person's life. My point is that "more versus less temporary" IS a differentiating criteria, but it's a pretty vague one.
To be honest my greatest hope was to find some research that determined whether these phenomena come about as a result of different mechanisms. I found no such explanation, besides anecdotal speculation about ADHD's reliance on dopamine-seeking behavior-- which I know is true of ADHD, and I found the speculation plausible, but it sadly wasn't sourced to any kind of medical or psychological study.
I'm sure I could spend a little more time and effort hunting down some such study/studies myself if I wasn't already putting off an obligation to ramble right now. I especially would like to know more about the psychological mechanisms behind special interest, if they're understood, because that's not something I've experienced as solely an ADHD haver. I just wonder if our shared intense interests are relatable on more than a surface level!!!!!! It's very interesting!!!!

It's literally a fucking fictional character who doesn't even do anything in the game. Nothing more than a bunch of pixels on a screen. Stop being such a righteous little prick.
I dont go here but I think it's kinda funny how uncomfortable you are about ppl thinking a video game character is cute lol
.
I'm not being a righteous little prick, I've stated before that I'm uncomfortable with people coming into the inbox treating this character like a small animal before. I'm not making an overarching statement about how EVERYONE should characterize or view him, but when my entire blog is dedicated to showing off how much of a tragic and terrible character he is, then I think it's safe to say that you should expect me to not really be super into things that makes him conventionally appealing. It takes all the fun out of it for me. And since I repeatedly said that the reason why I like him so much is because I relate to him and his problems, and that I write him as an autistic, depressed man struggling with a sense of self-worth who then abuses his children and the people around him unwillingly because of it, then you can see why I might not enjoy this sort of interaction as much.
I'm also not bothered by people thinking that he's cute or that his design is cute, I'm uncomfortable with people treating a character that's basically a human being in terms of story like some sort of pet animal. I write and view the Pale King as a human-analogous character, one with cognition and boundaries that are similar to people. If you think that his personality is cute the same way that a person is, or find his design adorable, that doesn't bother me in the slightest. I consider snakes and crocodiles cute as well. But you don't treat those animals like cats or dogs, because they aren't, and when you slap human level cognition and behaviors onto one, then treating them like a domestic animal becomes even more weird. It's like looking at a 50 year old human man and asking him if he wants belly rubs or chin scratches or something. It's uncomfortable for me, and I have already gently stated previously that I do not enjoy such content. Fuck dude, I consider Lurien cute, but you don't see me going to the inboxes of people who like him and say that I want to give him butt scritches or scoop him up into a jar. I don't know how they view him, I wouldn't do that unless it was clear that they understood the joke and thought it was funny.
Me expressing my boundaries isn't being a 'righteous little prick'. This is my fucking blog. If I was bothered by a depiction of PK that was being posted in the main tag, then I wouldn't say anything and would move past it because it wouldn't be any of my fucking business. But if you come into my house and demand that I interact with you in the way that you want, then yes, I am going to get uncomfortable. I didn't even state my discomfort in an explicitly rude manner, or claim that EVERYONE in the fandom must depict him in a certain way. I just asked that people stop coming to me about it, because if it's a joke then it's something that I don't get, and it ruins the fun of the character for me, and it's something that makes me deeply uncomfortable. I maintagged the post specifically with the hope that it would reach whoever was sending me those asks, not to police how people treat the character- because again, I don't care as long as it's not in my inbox. But it is.
You're right. He's a fictional fucking character. He's just pixels. But I'm not, and I have the right to put an end to a topic when I find that I don't like or understand it.

Me :3
Hello!!! On most of my blogs I'd share my name cuz it's common but this is my secret blog so putting my name on here could help some people find it, which wouldn't be the end of the world ig but then it wouldn't be a secret blog anymore, so yall can just call me Opossum Anon, Opossum, Possum, etc. Literally whatever the fuck works go for it I don't care.
My pronouns are mainly He/They. I'm iffy on she cuz 90% of the time I hate when it's used on me but the other 10% of the time it actually feels kinda neat. Not sure what that's about.
I've been out (as trans) for nearly 5 years now, and I spent most of that time identifying as a binary trans man. It's only recently (at the time of this post) that I've realized that I'm actually a fagdyke: A faggot and a dyke, a gay man and a lesbian, a butch and a twink, all at the same time. I still feel attachment to the label of trans man, but not in a binary way like before. If you have some questions about this feel free to send me asks and I'll try to explain it because I like teaching people things. If you're personally upset by how I identify for some reason then I suggest using the block button now.
Other things about me:
I may be punk???? I like some punk music, mainly queercore. Some artists I like include X-Ray Spex, Tribe 8, and The Oozes. Please don't quiz me on these bands I haven't listened to all their songs yet and I don't get nosy about the lives of the artists I like. I also believe in stuff like community, abolishing the police, getting rid of billionaires, hating bigots because I love minorities over loving minorities because I hate bigots, capitalism is a system which rewards selfishness and directly opposes creativity, housing and food are rights that EVERYONE deserves, death penalty does more harm than good, etc.
I'm autistic and have adhd. I yap about it a lot.
I'm aroacepec!!! It's neat :> (I also yap about this)
"Contradictory" labels are fun and define queerness, yall rule enforcers are just weird and trying to replicate heteronormativity but with a rainbow slapped on top of it
Queer isn't a slur. I also say fag(got), dyke, and tranny sometimes cuz I believe that anyone in the queer community can use them because we're unique in that a faggot can be mistaken for a dyke, a dyke can be mistaken for a faggot, both can be mistaken as trannies, and a tranny can be mistaken for either one.
Minding your own business is such a healthy and happy mindset to have, it's definitely one of the reasons my depression is cured and my skin is clear, highly recommend it.
I live in the Southwestern United States and I like to drive through my home city while listening to my cd collection in my 10-year-old car.
Rules:
No sending nsfw stuff to me please! Me liking a post about nsfw topics =/= Me flirting with you
Bigots go away
Just don't be a dick in general I guess?
My tagging system (Not that I remember to use it very much):
"insert thumbs up emoji" - I am not a part of this group and I don't have anything to say and/or the op doesn't want me to say anything so I'm giving a vague and quiet show of support with my reblog
"putting you on blast" - Has nothing to do with me whatsoever but I think it's neat (Usually used for pictures and drawings and stuff)
"my life is your problem now" - Personal stuff

Hello sorry I was wondering if you got my matchup if not the basic summary of it was I'm a 5'11 female,I have insomnia and narcolepsy,I have adhd and autism,so sometimes I can have high levels of energy almost like a news reporter,but sometimes I am so quiet some people don't recognize I'm there,I am also a story writer and a artist so when I get free time I work on games or stories with my art and writing,I am also a person who likes to explore abandoned places,I also like to sew and love stuffed animals,I am slightly chubby and have sharp teeth kinda like a weird vampire/shark mix idk how to describe it,and heterochromia,I also have a undercut to help manage my long hair which kinda poofs up like pinkie pies hair from my little pony(I wish I were joking the death of many combs and brushes and prove otherwise T_T)in morning after I wake up.
Sorry if this is too long or complex I'm not great at wording myself in descriptions because of my abnormal appearance sorry if this sound bizarre but it is what I look like.
I glad you resubmitted it! I’ve been having a hard time trying to figure out how to access my messages; but i’ll leave the match up here ~
and I ship you with…
Sakamaki Reiji
and
Sakamaki Kanato
Reiji:
Tumblr media
Seeing you’ve mention you are autistic, I feel Reiji would be the one would is able to understand (from a logical perspective)
Will probably have you sew and write in his presence when he’s having tea.
I feel like, Reiji would like a person who’s reserved and have some traditional hobbies.
He’s kind of intrigued that you are able to work on games.
Will probably disagree about you exploring abandoned places; but he’ll allow it, as long as he’s ‘shadowing’ you. It puts him at ease
Reiji is a tall man, so a tall s/o tickles his fancy 11/10
Kanato:
Tumblr media
I will say, Kanato would probably be annoyed that you’re so much taller than him.
He’s the one who will tag along to these abandoned places, he seems like the one who’s not bothered by them.
He’ll probably demand you sew him some dresses, or even join in with sewing dresses with you.
You have issues with sleeping? Great! So does he, except long nights up with him.
He won’t understand why you fancy working on games, but he’ll definitely respect it.
Your high energy will probable tire him out. But he’ll attempt to handle it, id recommend blowing off steam in one way or another.
This is short so i do apologize, todays been a bit crazy, but i hope this is to your liking!

Hello, writeblr, have a cup - it's on the house! [reintro]
I procrastinated on rewriting this because of... well, a lot of reasons. Big one is I've always thought I'm terrible at doing intros. Oh, well, let's get this over with.
Heylo! I'm Coffee, but you can also call me Jason or some variation of that. I'm 31 as of writing, and have been writing since I was 13 thereabouts. He/him, trans, autistic, poly, and queer in general, and my writing reflects that. Most of my protagonists are gay transmen because I write what I wanna see.
EDIT: I forgot to mention! This is a sideblog! My main is over at @coffeexafterxmidnight so if you see a follow from that blog, that's me! Hi!
My fiction tends to be on the dark side, aimed at adult readers because of mature content and my personal tastes. I do attempt to be respectful with all of the content I write but I'm not perfect so please forgive me if I screw up, there's always more to learn. I put content warnings on all of my fiction posts but I'm a little desensitized at this point. Please tell me if you want something tagged/warned and I will do so from then on.
None of this likely matters to half of you because you probably only know me from my writing prompts, humans are space orcs shorts, and positivity posts. Well, stick around! I won't stop any of those either, I just need to think of good stuff to share first.
As for my WIPs, well, hit the cut for those:
@runner-owen: my main wip. kinda my baby. a gothic fantasy series set in a world of eternal night, where vampires seek to enslave humanity again and a detective for hire is caught in a tug of war between two powerful men and their equally powerful organizations. I have so many ideas for this. So, so many. I do have a Discord server for this but I've never shared it beyond my circle of friends but if you're interested lemme know?
Mythos Noir: Cthulhu Mythos meets Detective Noir, set during the Great Depression in the "New Orleans of the Northeast". Follows the stories of Wes and Sadie, two unwilling servants of the Arkham Mafia, as they follow the orders of their mysterious boss, who definitely not human. Currently working on the first book, Harbinger.
Other WIPs to be added when I figure out what I'm doing with them
Side note: my icon is of my Dad's cat. Her name is Street Cat, she is very fluffy, very spoiled and knows it. She likes watching tv, basking in the sunshine, and bossing him around. I have more photos of her I might post eventually.
EDIT: why not? If you like what I'm making and wanna leave a tip, my pay_pal is coffeeaftermidnight. I have a Kofi too though I'm not sure what I'm doing with that

Tumblr media
so i suppose this is the start of a new blogging series. check tags for triggers/squicks or whatever they're called
to keep things brief, ever since my mom finished her chemo/radiation years ago, she's been in a cognitive decline. i initially thought it was just chemo brain plus her being older, but my family and i noticed change in her. it feels like she's turning into me, and i'm turning into her, if that makes sense. i'm wondering who the mom is and who the daughter is.
she and my dad have been to the memory clinic a few times. i've chatted with my dad about what i notice in my mom, since i spend more time with her during the week. my dad and i recently had a conversation about the memory clinic's assessment, and it's apparent that she's definitely under the dementia umbrella but we still have yet to find out exactly what kind, since it's all kinds of different diseases with different progressions and prognoses
now to get to the emotion-side of this, because that's the purpose of this blog series. i try to be patient with my mom, i really do. but i'm so dang frustrated about the wholel thing. i know the boss ass bitch that is my mom is still in there but there's her shitty brain in the way and i just want to shake it out of her and tell her to snap out of it.
for example, she's always misplacing things and i end up having to help her find them. if i dare suggest her putting things in the same place or giving her advice that works for me, since i'm ADHD and autistic and understand the whole executive dysfunction thing, then i get hit with a response that sounds like it came straight out of a teenager's mouth. i dare to suggest she get a dang hobby, something mentally stimulating, same thing. she's frustrated with herself, i get it. she's also frustrated that she's losing independence. i sympathize.
but where's the part of her that's disciplined?
where is my mom?
i'm also mad that i have to deal with this before my 30th birthday. most people who deal with this kind of thing don't have to even think about it till their 40s or even 50s. but here i am. my sister is only in her early 40s. i still have no idea what i'm doing 90% of the time but here i am having to think about what we're going to do with my mom. i bet things will only progress from here too, and i don't like thinking about it. it feels fake but i also thought i'd had way more time than this.
part of me wishes she hadn't had me as late as she did, so i'd at least have a bit more wisdom under my belt by the time this happened.
i try to stay patient with her and not express my frustrations directly to her. i don't want her to feel like she's a burden, even though she kinda is. even thinking things like that makes me feel like a bad person, and a bad daughter. i want to tell her to figure things out. i want to tell her to pay attention. i want to tell her to snap out of this funk. i want to leave the house just to get away from the bullshit. i want to look up assisted living just so i don't have to deal with this.
idk if that makes me a bad daughter. my dad tells me he doesn't want me to feel obligated to take care of her as this goes on, but i'm her daughter. my sister took care of her when she had cancer, so it's only fair that i take care of her during this period??
and what kind of daughter doesn't take care of her aging mother
but yeah i hate this crap. i just want my mom back. even the annoying parts.

Morbid Minds overview
i'm tagging you so you can see it (@euryvices) but i was planning on doing a quick recap so it would be less scattered around my blog because there's already a bit of explaination if you click on the "morbid minds" thing that gives you a pages with characters ect (but even I forget i put that here)
anyway
the story linked to Marco and Tristan is called Morbid Minds and is a work in progress (6 chapters up in english on my google doc but 15 chapters in french), it's just their lives during high school honestly but it deals with things like bullying, mental health and relationship
Marco Klein-Valdez is one of the main characters, he's like, the biggest loser ever both in a lame and creepy way, at the start of the story he's 15 and god knows there's something deeply disturbing about teenagers because he's a mess
he wears military clothes and gets bullied for looking weird and looking like he's gonna drop a bomb on everyone, everyone thinks he's a nazi (he's not but he doesn't do much to get a better reputation either) he thinks scaring people away is funny because he can just say unhinged things and that'll work
if that already sounds insane, don't worry it will get worse but it's also the whole point of the character. Marco is like, this big edgy dude with anger issues and a whole lot of toxic masculinity to deal with. He gets into fights a lot, he's just that weird creepy dude you'll see in class and hope he doesn't snap at some point
Well, that's how people would view him but when you look closer he's actually pretty lonely and depressed, wishing he was more normal to fit in but refusing to fit in out of spite, big paradox of being a teenager i'd say
Tumblr media
But that's until he meets Tristan Lambert who is the second main characters, he's that tall lanky dude that doesn't talk to anyone but warms up to Marco for some reasons
he's autistic and pretty much invisible to anyone until he's seen everyday with Marco and people start picking up on him too
when paired up with Marco it's easy to think he's the normal one considering how fucked up Marco is, but well you have to be a little bit fucked up too to put up with his bullshit
he's mostly in his head, ignoring the real world and not knowing what's going on expect with it's directly related to him, he got that non-expressive face and flat tone that's a bit off putting about him (he gets more expressive with people he trusts)
he have a special interest in music, literature and school shooting (he matches Marco's freak)
Tumblr media
then we have some secondary characters that come up a lot with these two
Joshua "Josh" Roberts, the third pov character that I don't mention much because he's actually in Marco's bullies friend group and Marco hates his guts lol
Josh is that popular kid that doesn't get involved in bullying, but not saying anything is still making you part of the problem, he thinks you have to fit in with people if you wants to have friends even if it means bottling up who you really are
he keeps running into Marco despite them hating each other (and Marco putting guns to his head lol) and they kind of start to warm up because Josh goes on a identity crisis or something (Marco doesn't like him even when they become "friends")
Tumblr media
Klara Klein, is Marco's cousin from his father side and his number one hater, well, kinda, they get along until they don't and start trying to kill each other
she's one year younger than them, but that doesn't mean she won't try to strangle Marco, she will
she got a descent friend group, she plays tennis (and will beat you to death with the tennis racket) I mean, she's normal she's just that kind of person that always look angry at you, because she gets annoyed easily
she's in the same grade as Kip and they're friends despite her pretending she doesn't likes him (she does, he can get a bit annoying but she's fond of weird people)
Tumblr media
Kip "Seven" Mercado, that's our guy, non binary and the scene kid that got lost in time there's no other way to describe him
he's an agent of chaos, he doesn't take anything seriously and does thing for the fun of it, that's why you'll see him meowing in the hallways
Kip is like a mystical entity, when he finds you, you can't get rid of him (both Klara and Marco understood that pretty quickly)
Tumblr media
Dalisay Valdez and Bernhard Klein, Marco's parents, Dalisay is filipino, Bernhard is german, Dalisay is a nice lady, Bernhard can go fuck himself
Jane Anderson and Michael Lambert, Tristan's parents, Jane passed away in 2017 (the story start in 2022), Michael is a french guy and is the most confused dad ever but he's still great
and now i'll just out all the stuff i didnt know where to put in these characters description
Marco and Tristan end up together during the story, Tristan is gay and Marco discovers the wonders of bisexuality
Marco is a porn addict, idk how to say it in a way that isnt that way but that's what he is, i mean why do you think most people assumes he's a virgin incel, that's because he is
he was born in Virginia but the story takes place in Connecticut
Marco also has ADHD because I can't write an autistic character without his ADHD dumbass
the story goes beyond high school, it's just that the canon storyline is very much high school centered but Tristan ends up being a english literature major and graduates, Marco is a history major dropout (he did two years) and becomes a successful streamer, i couldnt make this up, Marco being a streamer was the only thing that made sense for his character LMAO, that's why a lot of the drawings about their adult life are just,,,, Marco being a weird streamer
Marco canonically wears stupid shirts with dicks jokes on it

Putting down some notes...
Askblog Lacey will be a bit of a (metaphorical) dick, and kinda mean, but not too much out of fear of mischaracterization of the character
Canonically a lesbian in the askblog lore, and single. Previously bi (she thought she was straight back in the day, never knew of her bisexuality) but ever since [that man] she just flipped off her heterosexuality
I'm taking advantage of the co-creator and her absence being HIGHLY ambiguous and left a mystery, entirely only up for interpretation, to make it easier on poor ol' me to work on the blog. But i am considering also incorporating a tidbit of speculation i found into the askblog lore.
Askblog Lacey will also be placed in the grey zone in terms of personality, she's keeping some of the stereotypical girl traits but also not gonna hesitate to bash someone's skull in
Literally all of the horror will be shown in forms of memories, flashbacks, nightmares and so on so forth. There's still misfortune coming her way but it's reduced to minor inconvience because god damn it i really wanna see Lacey happy and safe for fuckin' once
Autistic because fuck you she gives off those vibes you know DAMN WELL at the core of it ALL that she is at LEAST a bit autistic
Askblog Lacey has a pet cat, a direct reference to PETSHOP where, in a series of ideas after getting out of her hellish household, she proposes herself to get a cat next after her dog, Puddles, was killed by [HIM]
You guessed it, this is all placed in the future, probably in the 2020s but different and a bit more peaceful unlike irl, to also make it easier on me while working on the blog
The blog will also be mostly comedic and sitcom-like, incorporating fourth wall breaking as a common occurence in Askblog Lacey's daily life. Because of this, the blog will be strictly for people who can handle fourth wall breaking as it's gonna be EVERYWHERE and might even be an important part of the blog and the story
Because the creator, ghosttundra, is brazilian, i'm making it a canon fact that Askblog Lacey is learning brazilian, purely because she wants to shit-talk people and get away with it
These are all the notes i have to keep in mind for the blog, whenever i get another idea i'll add it here. To find it quickly, i'll tag it accordingly!
Aaaand post!

bnha s3e14-16
new OP. …okay this is pretty good. -- huh. the end shot of it puts Hagukure front and center.
"the last sparks of One for All have gone out, and I can't really keep my muscle form any more. except for a couple frames now and then for a laugh"
"oh yeah, I'm not at home." you can tell your all might shrines apart?
what… why DOES iida do that arm thing now? what is it? did he use to do it before and I just didn't notice? is… is he stimming? is iida autistic rep
Tumblr media
two signature moves. wonder if bakugo will have an issue since his power does basically one - wait a minute, what constitutes a signature move for hagukure? just like with the physical exam, I have questions about how a static Quirk that doesn't enhance or grant any active abilities interacts with this and don't think I can expect them to be answered : / -- …if hagukure was secretly also able to throw her voice that would be amazing -- random thought: melissa's gauntlets are the #1 thing from the first movie that I wish would show up in the show but definitely (?) won't. #2 is hagukure's rock-paper-scissors signs
you already have ultimate moves, Deku. : / you just stole them from All Might. and in theory, you should eventually be able to do that stuff without breaking your arms? in theory?
"I thought about doing a lightning sword or something" …Kaminari, if you learn to do that without going saitama-face, and stop palling around with mineta, you just might go up a tier or two
("teaching for dummies") 'XD well at least he's making an honest effort?
"if there was some sort of brace that could support the movement of my arms…" IF ONLY, HUH. IF ONLY SOMEONE COULD INVENT SOME KIND OF PROTECTIVE GEAR FOR YOUR ARMS. IT'D BE AMAZING IF SOMEONE LIKE THAT EXISTED, HUH???
: | I was looking forward to seeing Mei again, but now it looks like she's here to enable uraraka's… whatever-this-is nonsense (I don't think it's tsundere? just regular pointless denial?). well, long as she's also here to do cool gadgeteer shit -- "I'm the guy you used as a billboard during the tournament!" hehe. good times, good times.
"midoriya, you fight with your fists and fingers, right?" …yeah, he does. kinda weird now that you say it out loud, but that's how he was doing things up to now, just cashing bits in one at a time.
…and hatsume moves down a tier (from wherevertf she was, idk I forgot about her tbh) with the groping : | dangit
mei: "if you want to cool off your legs, why don't you run with your arms?" deku (having an epiphany): "oh yeah… I have LEGS…" -- "it's like…" oh boy, how is he gonna tie microwaves into this one -- (aw we didn't get another wacky metaphor : [ )
"you should have changed your whole look" says the diaper pervert
tokoyami how are you this edgy and somehow not cringe
"Armor-Piercing Shot!" some uncharacteristic restraint from God Explosion Murder
we get it kaminari, you got a duel disc
(neutral) goddamn high school romance bullshit
is this other school actually just a police academy. why've they all got cop hats -- Ed! that's who he's reminding me of! Ed from Ed Edd n Eddy
VAMPIRE ALERT. I think. I think that's vampire girl, with Joker's school? she got pointy teef. …I forget whether knife girl has those
touchy guy alert. : / He's grabbing everyone's hands because of something to do with his quirk, I just know it.
…laser tag? no, dodgeball. a combination of the two. weird
"The keys will be teamwork and cooperation, and information gathering" also aim. Aim seems kind of important.
"Shikkui Makabe! Quirk Name: I'm Putting a Rock in This One!" also you sir are a pokemon
Tumblr media
you sir are literally saitama in a wig
Tumblr media
aw, why did you have to save diaper pervert, I was looking forward to seeing less of him
…you madam are… not a vampire, I guess.
Tumblr media
another cowgirl? wonder what they've gone and named this one
…okay Ed is OP, I can't even pick a joke, that was some heckin stuff
(ninja girl's shown up) everybody wants to invade deku's personal space all the time, damn -- …whuh - oh. mimic -- ohhhh so ninja girl's a mimic. well dang, that's powerful -- : | great, we got two nudists in this show and only one of them has the "I'm invisible but we don't have invisible clothing technology" excuse
wait where are her target thingies? she's cheating! …are hagukure's targets on her gloves and shoes? why's this show got to have mineta and nudists in it
"WAS SHE NAKED" GODDAMMIT TAPEFACE
an entire school is just the ninja clan hidden in the… uh… it's a straight fucking line and I'm tired, I got nothing. they're all different primary colors, so it's the clan hidden in the teletubby house I guess
Tumblr media
-- you fight like a Kirby boss
it is… irresponsibly late, as usual, so I guess I'm cutting it here

Hi! So I've strongly suspected for a while, and I'm finally gonna get myself assessed for autism soon. I was wondering if you had any tips to help me advocate for myself? I've made a list of symptoms I can identify in myself compared to some (slightly older) assessment criteria to get myself started. But do you have any other ideas? I've already been diagnosed with ADHD, so I'm kinda nervous that it could be passed off as that. I just want to know for sure, but I'm pretty bad at standing up for myself in stuff like this.
Thanks for any insight you can give me.
Hi! I'm happy to help, and of course any other autistic folks are free to chime in with reblogs/in the notes/etc.!
I was diagnosed way back in 2009, so it might be different than it was back then. But during my diagnosis "hearing," I deliberately avoided eye contact with the person examining me, because I knew as a woman I would be less likely to get a diagnosis and I was afraid if I managed to make eye contact they wouldn't believe me.
Definitely bring your symptoms with you and measure them up! That always helps. You can also share social difficulties you've had in the past or are currently having, talk about hyperfixations, and - perhaps most importantly - emphasize that a diagnosis would give you answers that you've been seeking about yourself and bring you into a community. I personally think self-diagnosis is valid because a lot of autistic people struggle to get diagnosed (especially if you're not a cishet white boy - not man, boy) - there's a lot of sexism and racism that works against people in getting diagnosed, but if you're lined up for an evaluation, you've probably cleared a lot of hurdles already towards getting an official diagnosis!
The best thing you can do is be honest about your experiences and how they've made you feel. Autism and ADHD are often co-morbid with one another - it's common to be both. Because of that, it might help to seek out experiences from other people who are both autistic and ADHD, because they'll likely have the most similar experiences to your own. I'm putting this out there into the tags in the hopes that autistic-ADHD folks find it and can share some of them for you, too!
Let me know how your assessment goes - I'm hoping for the best for you!

I'm not sure if this is the place to ask but- can people with respiratory/breathing related disabilities partake in cpunk? Our condition limits our mobility but we don't have any visible mobility disabilities or aids that we use. Breathing is just kinda Like That yknow.
without another qualifying disability, no.
a body that can't breathe has its full range of motion. you can use all limbs as well as anyone else. your body can move every way an abled body can; the specific constraint is the ability to breathe and get oxygen due to exertion, not the movement of the body.
HOWEVER, that definitely does fit the bill for physical disability and chronic illness! I'd encourage you to check out spoonie content and of course the chronic illness, physdis-related, and disability tags!
[we do have moderate-severe asthma in addition to our mobility disabilities, so part of this is our experience but also just the definition--we mostly engage with chronic illness in terms of that, actually, though we talk about it less! we just don't have much to say about it.]
EDIT: okay i can’t believe this is necessary but i have been informed that this got sent to another who’s decided to interpret/portray this as me saying people with breathing issues aren’t disabled because i “dont know about disabilities i dont have” and uh.
okay first. as evidenced by the above. i have asthma. i have a breathing disability. it is a chronic illness. i said so right there.
second, i’m psychotic and autistic. this isn’t a secret. i have disorganized thinking and sometimes i process and react too literally. especially because i was in an episode, i saw a disability that isn’t literally the dictionary definition of cripple, cripple punk is for cripples, hence not cripple punk. cpunk is in actuality more physdis geared—i was using mobility constraint as basically a physdis synonym because i, again, am an autistic psychotic and overly literal. i didn’t fully process the mobility constraint, hence saying that it wasn’t affecting the ability to move. i do apologize for that. even though i couldn’t control it, i should have noticed sooner or put in more effort to be clearer.
but third, i listed multiple other non cpunk disabled communities—physdis, spoonie, chronic illness, and general disability—and in the next ask anon said the terms worked for them and were exactly what they were looking for.
i’m not sure if anon mentioned this to the person/people who reacted. i know they were told in an ask. and if you’re this anon and you did notify them, i’m not mad at you! i mean i would have liked a follow up or more context when talking to the other person because they said some pretty awful things about me in multiple posts, but it’s not your fault. i don’t blame you for their decision to go nuclear without investigating context and assuming everything was in ignorance and bad faith. and if its not this anon… what? i’m not sure what the point to that was.
but yeah i don’t know, before calling someone every swear in the book, talking about them like they’re an ignorant violent attacker, assuming all their disabilities, and then implying they’re the kind of person who wants your partner dead… maybe learn their name? or just read the written content you’re mad about once?
