Other RnM fans?

Rick n Morty fan creator/artist here, trying to make friend brohs with ppl who are also obsessed with the show. I have a hard time reaching out due to my anxiety. (proshippers DNI)

tldr; you're also a neurodivergent queer artist nutjob that makes crackpipe art an shitposts, heavily kins a character at one point or another, and we should be friends because we can be insane together LMFAO

Fav show ships: BP x Rick all day, (I love flesh curtains, and their dynamic is just so yes... I...) Morty x Alaska (i named the vat of acid gf Alaska because the Alaska trip..) Summer x that one girl... Morticia X Jessica, Rickcest/ Rick selfcest is aight, I obsess over Miamicop. I think selfcest in cloning / multiuniverse theory is harmless, but don't come at me with any of that proshipper/inc3st/rickorty shit. I will block you, report you, and put you on a DNI beware list; this is a threat & a warning. That shit is never EVER ok.

if we become friends/wanna know about;

I'm diagnosed Audhd, I'm a transmasc demiboy, I like to be referred to as nonbinary and a transgender male with He/They pronouns. Panromantic Demisexual.

I'm a rick kinnie, just means I identify with rick, in another universe I could be him XD, I relate to him, we share the same personality literally (ENTP 7w8); he's my self identifying comfort character. But my big interest with this show/comic is probably due to some kind of autistic hyper fixation and imprintation.

Hobbies: Crafting, Digital illustration, Fursuit /Costume making, Youtube, 3D designing, Making silly video skits, Writing, Character design, Shit posting, Creating ai voice bots for fun n fandom purposes (will make le memes), Trying to be a youtuber like Imbrandonfarris and Britany Broski, collecting stuff, VRchat, Collecting fluffy soft shit like stuffies, pillows, blankets, and hoodies. I SLEEP IN A NEST OF ALL OF THESE

Personality?: Chaotic, Unhinged, Tired and fed up with this shit, All the Energy AND NO ENERGY, I'm so tired please god help me, i'm an enigma. Ambiverted. If ur looking for a cool crazy cat dude broh who draws weird ass digital art and is always tired but jacked on coffe, adderall, and Naproxen i'm your guy.... :'}

I do alot of art and have alot of burnouts due to my adhd- I've been told I'm  innovative, clever, and expressive. I can jury-rig your glasses easily with a paperclip if you're screw comes out and loose frames causes the lens to pop. I'm very detail and idea-oriented, i come up with thousands of ideas, questions, and theories. Because of this, I tend to come up with one idea after another without actually going forward with plans and actions because i get so overwhelmed with my massive brain XD

Even tho I'm socially awkward, I love people, I want to make friends. I like being alone a lot but I hate feeling lonely. :C When I get to know you I'm very very chatty; as long as I'm not too tired or piled with heaps of assignments. I would say I'm pretty laid-back and easy to get along with, I get so stuck up in my personal world up in my head that I lose sight of important things around me, I blame the adhd. I'm an observer, I like to watch and see how things happen, I am a very hands on person.

I'm constantly learning, i love science with a passion. I got hyperfixated on evolution of different animal clades a while back. I am immensely curious and focused on understanding how the world operates and functions. I'm looking for mental and intellectual stimulation, lettuce skip casual conversation about wheather- whats your favorite dinosaur? (fuck ignore my dyslexia) and before you say a pterodactyl let me stop you right there- they aren't dinosaurs. if you like understanding the world through learning various things about science, technology, or culture, I'm your guy. but I'm also just a silly hoo hoo aah smart ass.

god this is finally done... I've been writing this for an hour......

Something that I think only recently I've gotten the words to describe is that like. The whole thing abled people started to do as faux-activism where they treated autistic people (or disabled people in general) like they were "just as capable" as anyone else and they "shouldn't let their disability stop them"? I think this was very much the main reason why I ended up doing so poorly in school.

I rambled a LOT lmfao so the rest is below the cut. I tried to make this as short as possible but there's a lot to this story and there's a lot I wanted to say. I even left out a lot of stuff that I don't think is that important SJSDHGJKSGHD so sorry in advance. But if ur interested in what I did write it's there.

I was already diagnosed with autism when I was 2 years old, so they knew I was autistic. Yet it seems by around the time I was in grade 4 (8 years old turning 9), they had suddenly decided that I was "too smart" to be receiving the extra help that I had been getting in previous years from the special education program at school. And then I ended up having to repeat that grade. That apparently wasn't a wake-up call, and I would then proceed to only barely pass pretty much everything (excluding the 1 and a half years I spent at a private school, where I was getting B's) until I started failing really hard again in grade 9 and 10. While I did end up finally getting diagnosed with ADHD in the middle of grade 10, it would be kind of... too late by then, lmfao. Since here a grade 10 education is a minimum requirement for a lot of jobs, I was allowed to stop going to school by then. (Just so there's no confusion, it goes up to grade 12 here.)

But yeah. It's like, as soon as I started being able to pass as more neurotypical (as when I was younger I really wasn't able to), both my teachers and parents thought that I didn't need the extra help anymore. I was told a lot during my childhood that I "shouldn't let my autism stop me" or that "I was smarter than that" and that I "shouldn't tell other people I'm autistic" and that when I struggled I "was being lazy". I was also told about a lot of stories about like for example that one video that went viral of the autistic guy who was able to draw a view of the city from memory after viewing it on a helicopter. It felt like they were trying to show me that because this autistic person was capable of things like this, I must be too. It was like a sudden switch from when I was just a few years younger from then, when my autism more visibly disabled me. I'm almost certain that during this time period, they thought my autism only affected my social skills, and nothing else.

If it wasn't for, after failing grade 9 and being on track to fail grade 10, my dad listening to me when I said I was genuinely struggling and not just being lazy like my mum assumed (and ending up getting diagnosed with ADHD because of this)... I don't know where I would be right now. Probably not anywhere good. Because it seemed like prior to that, they genuinely didn't seem to think my autism disabled me that much, and obviously didn't know I had ADHD either. But now they seem much more understanding of this.

Honestly though, I can't solely blame it on this, because like. As I previously mentioned, during the 1 and a half year period I was at my private school, I started getting B's on average. This is because they didn't stick to the typical "listening and writing" learning style unlike public schools. They were more hands-on, which is good for my kinaesthetic/visual learner ass. Nonetheless, there's no doubting that I probably would've done much better if I was given proper accommodations and not being dismissed as just being lazy 😭

Sidenote and almost completely unrelated, but shoutout to my nana who, a few months ago, when I didn't get a sarcastic comment she made, said to my dad something to the effect of "I thought he was supposed to be better by now". Like no nana sorry my autism doesn't just stop when I turn 18 lmfao.
