'I feel my shadow dissolving will you cleanse me with pleasure' x

[superfluouskeys]

gonna be kind of funny to go to the counseling appointment i made last week when i was in crisis and be like yeah so most of the stuff that was making me crazy just suddenly and unexpectedly resolved like yesterday so i'm probably mostly fine now aside from being confused that that happened LOL

[steakout-05]

i was so brave a couple days ago. there was a baby huntsman spider in my room and i totally didn't fumble trying to catch it 3 entire times while trying to lure it in and out of a box all while screaming and going "whAT THE FUCJ WHAT" whenever it moved even a little bit. in which the reason i was trying to catch it was because it randomly appeared on a box right next to my bed and i knew if i didn't catch it i wouldn't be able to sleep. nope. totally wasn't genuinely frightened by a tiny itty bitty little guy that could literally fit in the palm of my hand 15 times. whaaaat me? scared by a tiny little spider??? psh no wayyyyy man no way

(after i did this i was slightly shaken up and extremely worried there was another much bigger one in my bed and i felt like there were bugs crawling on me until i fell asleep)

[microwave-magician-selfships]

I lost my plushie for several days now and I have like flipped my entire bed and bedframe upside down trying to look for it cause it normally never leaves my bed and I swear if I found out that I left that thing at school I am going to take a very long time to forgive myself

a bit of context if you're not quite sure how to answer:

the girls in the book Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret would fall into the "very positive" category - they were excited to get their periods and would speak openly with their friends about puberty

a child who obsessed over a fear of menstruation, felt dread when they thought about it, or was deeply in denial about this aspect of puberty, would fall on the "very negative" end

still thinking about how my ex-best friend went on an entire conversation tangent about how they Just Couldn't Understand Why People Use Neopronouns, They Just Don't Make Sense literally right after i'd mentioned i use any and all pronouns, including neos. it wasn't sparked by my comment, but like, dude. what the hell.

just saw someone tag a post about Big still being alive as “korn is hiding him” and well it seems I’ve discovered a fear I never knew I had

Are we allowed to share RenRuki fic ideas with you?

Ummmmmm.............I guess the question I have is, I guess it depends on why you want me to see it?

So, on one hand, I always want to support the Renruki fanfic writing enterprise. If you sincerely want help developing an idea, I am open to help with that, although if that is the case, *please* do not send your ask anonymously, because I would probably prefer to reply privately. You can also email me for that sort of thing. If we are already on a DM basis, and you want to chat about your ideas, I am happy to listen and support you! (or if we're kinda friends and you want to make the jump to DMs, maybe that's a good excuse).

On the other hand, I sincerely do not like it when people, especially people I don't really know, send me things that are like "here is an idea that I had!" because I have no idea what is being asked of me. I cannot even conceive the thinking behind sending something like this, I would never. What on earth would motivate you to put that in someone's askbox instead of just posting it on your own blog, where your followers, the people who want to see your ideas, can see it? If you tag it, then everyone who follows that tag will see it too! Maybe people want my blessing, or something, but I am deeply uncomfortable being put in that role. It's all well and good, I guess, if I happen to like your idea (although I still don't know what to say...I would be so much more comfortable reblogging a post that you made), but if I don't like it, that really puts me in an uncomfortable spot, you see? I have kind of particular tastes, but I very intentionally keep the things I don't like to myself. I don't ever want someone to be sad because I hated on their favorite idea, but sometimes I don't know what else to do when someone shoves it into my inbox and my only choices are to make a public comment on it, or just delete the ask, either of which is going to hurt the asker's feeling. I don't ever really think that what the asker wants is a sincere criticism of their idea, but unfortunately, that's what I usually end up doing and then I feel terrible about it and then I close my ask box for three months. Also, literally, who cares what I think? If you have a fanfic idea and you like it, you should write it. (Although, I guess maybe part of the reasoning behind sending strangers your fanfic idea is because you have no intention of actually writing it, in which case I am doubly not the person to send it to)

To be honest, I don't care very much about fanfic ideas. I care about fanfic execution. Most of my own fanfic is pretty low-concept. I know many people enjoy just talking about their ideas with no intention of ever writing them and this is not me. If I could write the fanfic without ever having the ideas, I would. I read just about every Renruki fanfic I see on ao3 (unless the tags are a no-go) and if I liked it, I'll leave a comment, and if I don't have anything nice to say, I won't.

I guess the third case is that you want to tell me about your fanfic idea in the hopes that I'll write it, to which I will say, a) please be very clear if that is the case, and b) I suppose if it's interesting enough, I might, but the odds are very low, and it will probably take me forever. Oh, also, once again, please don't ask on anon, so that I can reply to you on private.

someone made a trobed fic to you're losing me by taylor swift. i'm going to be sick

[nexus-nebulae]

i hate when you're like. so aware that a delusion is a delusion. you know its a delusion. you know its not really what's going on. but you still can't convince your brain otherwise

[ileftherbackhome]

actually, no this is not correct.

autistic elope to run *away* from perceived danger (or even because they got interested in something else and went to seek that thing out).

autistic children who elope can be put in dangerous situations, yes, but to say that autistics "run away for no reason into danger" is not what elopement is. elopement occurs because the autistic is overstimulated or feels unsafe, it is an extreme reaction to their normal flight or fight response.

the solution is not to say "elopement is always dangerous" it is to ask "WHY is my autistic child running away from me right now" "HOW can i be more accommodating of their sx so that they dont get in this state again"

and also not all autistic who elope get into dangerous situations and to act like this is the *only* way it manifests in autistics is ableist towards lvl1/2 autistics because you can learn to overcome your elopement desires and just because you don't give in or can manage the response doesnt mean the response isn't there.

Autistics:
