Hot Take:

If you decided to look below the cut, have these!! Some aimless doodles!!

They're just the foretellers from KH as their respective animals in Mobian form. I enjoyed drawing them and I don't plan on officially posting them on the blog cuz they were merely a concept exercise.

crows use tools and like to slide down snowy hills. today we saw a goose with a hurt foot who was kept safe by his flock - before taking off, they waited for him to catch up. there are colors only butterflies see. reindeer are matriarchical. cows have best friends and 4 stomachs and like jazz music. i watched a video recently of an octopus making himself a door out of a coconut shell.

i am a little soft, okay. but sometimes i can't talk either. the world is like fractal light to me, and passes through my skin in tendrils. i feel certain small things like a catapult; i skirt around the big things and somehow arrive in crisis without ever realizing i'm in pain.

in 5th grade we read The Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night-time, which is about a young autistic boy. it is how they introduced us to empathy about neurotypes, which was well-timed: around 10 years old was when i started having my life fully ruined by symptoms. people started noticing.

i wonder if birds can tell if another bird is odd. like the phrase odd duck. i have to believe that all odd ducks are still very much loved by the other normal ducks. i have to believe that, or i will cry.

i remember my 5th grade teacher holding the curious incident up, dazzled by the language written by someone who is neurotypical. my teacher said: "sometimes i want to cut open their mind to know exactly how autistics are thinking. it's just so different! they must see the world so strangely!" later, at 22, in my education classes, we were taught to say a person with autism or a person on the spectrum or neurodivergent. i actually personally kind of like person-first language - it implies the other person is trying to protect me from myself. i know they had to teach themselves that pattern of speech, is all, and it shows they're at least trying. and i was a person first, even if i wasn't good at it.

plants learn information. they must encode data somehow, but where would they store it? when you cut open a sapling, you cannot find the how they think - if they "think" at all. they learn, but do not think. i want to paint that process - i think it would be mostly purple and blue.

the book was not about me, it was about a young boy. his life was patterned into a different set of categories. he did not cry about the tag on his shirt. i remember reading it and saying to myself: i am wrong, and broken, but it isn't in this way. something else is wrong with me instead. later, in that same person-first education class, my teacher would bring up the curious incident and mention that it is now widely panned as being inaccurate and stereotypical. she frowned and said we might not know how a person with autism thinks, but it is unlikely to be expressed in that way. this book was written with the best intentions by a special-ed teacher, but there's some debate as to if somebody who was on the spectrum would be even able to write something like this.

we might not understand it, but crows and ravens have developed their own language. this is also true of whales, dolphins, and many other species. i do not know how a crow thinks, but we do know they can problem solve. (is "thinking" equal to "problem solving"? or is "thinking" data processing? data management?) i do not know how my dog thinks, either, but we "talk" all the same - i know what he is asking for, even if he only asks once.

i am not a dolphin or reindeer or a dog in the nighttime, but i am an odd duck. in the ugly duckling, she grows up and comes home and is beautiful and finds her soulmate. all that ugliness she experienced lives in downy feathers inside of her, staining everything a muted grey. she is beautiful eventually, though, so she is loved. they do not want to cut her open to see how she thinks.

a while ago i got into an argument with a classmate about that weird sia music video about autism. my classmate said she thought it was good to raise awareness. i told her they should have just hired someone else to do it. she said it's not fair to an autistic person to expect them to be able to handle that kind of a thing.

today i saw a goose, and he was limping. i want to be loved like a flock loves a wounded creature: the phrase taken under a wing. which is to say i have always known i am not normal. desperate, mewling - i want to be loved beyond words.

loved beyond thinking.

I took elements from his different suits plus added some extra flair. My favourite being the addition of climbing shoes.

writing a long form disciple shen yuan fic where he resembles yue qingyuan as a teenager instead of shen jiu mighttt fix me

actually some more on this: i think this is an incredibly smart choice to make for the pitt. we liked Langdon and we were meant to! but its often people who fall into addiction arent people youd expect. its very often genuinly put together friendly and respectable folks. and Langdon is very clearly not who a lot of you picture when you picture an addict and thats SO clear with these reactions

and like Santos? yes shes kind of an asshole but shes only ever been cocky and insensitive. but the thing to realise is shes NEVER been malicious. she is so clearly set up to be someone to dislike at first. but outside of her very clearly built to be deconstructed façade she was never a villain and she very much did always have reasonable cause to doubt Langdon. And she was RIGHT! and he was treating her badly even when she was correct btw!

“stop forcing these ships, hoyo doesn’t know what they’re-“

yes they do. they do know what they’re doing.

why does so much of mel discourse on this site centre on to what measure she did or did not manipulate jayce like that's the extent of her complexity and grey morality, as if she has not directly and indirectly been contributing to the opression of zaun not because she's prejudiced or hates them but simply because she profits from it, like i am so sorry my queen that they don't get you like i get you

[thedyingwriter]

I can never be an actor. Because how tf do you look at each other like this one moment and go back to nothing irl???

like i would combust into flames if someone looked at me like that.

Around the sm version trailer and the leaks of the models I started doing some doodles of sm and awakened pv, so idk yeah

[reineydraws]

had to draw this to understand the way i feel about him now that the manga's ended. 🥲 on that note: if you like hawks and his ending, maybe don't read my tags lol. it's not bashing (imo) but they're not v nice. 😅

bg + unobstructed pose under the cut!

his expression's a lil different 'cuz i only changed the merged layer, all the lighting effects already flattened onto it. 💀 alas.

HOT aib take but I hate hate hate when people only talk about Karube in the old trio. LIKE WHERES THE REP FOR MY MAN CHOUTA I LOVE HIM 🫶 and like. I get that in the manga Chouta is like an annoying ass character but for ppl who only watched the show like he's so loveable??

I genuinely swear it's bc the actor for Karube is conventionally attractive because the amount of favoritism I see for him is craaaaazy (looking at you tiktok fandom). Even in places like ao3 like I see so many works that are either chirisu or arisagi focused with background/past ArisuxKarube and they always just throw Chouta to the side?? Like he's either disregarded entirely or just called annoying and sensitive which pisses me off. Even in platonic fics where nothing happens Karube is always more important of a character

The magical part about that trio is that they all have different personalities that balance each other out. Like Chouta is so sensitive and sweet and is such an anchor especially for Karube when he gets hot headed and his bubbly personality cheers Arisu up even during the depths of his depression like how could you not love him

I could talk about the trio dynamics literally forever omg
