As an Autistic and queer person myself, I totally understand why horror and dark fantasy overlap with our own understanding of the world. It's why movies like The Shape of Water or stories like Frankenstein resonate with those of us who feel othered by the world. We empathize with the monsters because in many ways, the monsters might just need someone who understands them.
Normally, I don't reblog this stuff, but there is something important in this feed that I cannot believe that never clicked in my brain before. As someone on the Autism Spectrum, I am unfortunately familiar with the history of my disability and its connection to certain horrendous practices (just look up the name Asperger for example). The "certain exceptions" rule really does show the hypocrisy of the anti-abortion argument simply because of the fact that by their definition, life begins at conception. So, wouldn't a child born of SA be a life? And unfortunately, history has shown that this form of exclusion means that this exception rule may be allowed in other circumstances that are less "noble." It's why bodily autonomy is so important: let the person carrying the baby get the choice in the matter rather than a few people at the top who may change their minds at a moment's notice.
“My body, my choice” only makes sense when someone else’s life isn’t at stake.
Something you will need to know to help people in your life. Whether it be because of age or disability, everyone deserves a chance at a happy holiday season.
AAAAAAHHHH!!! This is perfect! I absolutely adore lamia love interests, and even have some RPG stuff with lamia love interests. She sounds magnificent, and I would absolutely love making stuff and going to conventions with her.
She would have to teach me a lot about Pokemon or Digimon TCG though. I tend to play Magic: the Gathering, Dragon Ball: Super, or Lorcana. Then again, part of the fun is teaching each other your favorite games.
I love this so much! Thank you so much @violetsandmoss !
For the monster matchmaker, I would prefer the following. She/her. Likes playing games (like trading cards, miniatures games, or video games). Also likes to snuggle, and we can wrap each other up in our arms and bodies a lot. Plus, I hope she's okay with me doing the cooking and cleaning a lot.
Ohmg ohmg ohmg okay okay HEAR ME OUT
Lamia...
Shes got cuddles for days!!!
But shes very clumsy when not painting miniatures. Like super clumsy.
Shes bashful and a bit shy.
She has a whole book case of JUST trading cards and will encourage you to check them out. Calls it her " archives"
Somehow knows where each card is. " Thats not in that binder, silly! Its in THIS one"
You keep her warm. She cuddles SO well.
Good compression for anxiety tbh
Plays both sides of the digemon vs pokemon debate
Loves letting you ride on her shoulders if you go to any conventions or crowded places
Uses her tail as a couch for you!!
Has one of every console.
She also loves jigsaw puzzles and puzzle toys. Shes always fidgeting with something including your hand 🥰 or the hem of your sleeve etc
You meet because she makes miniature props for a living and you need a specific thing- which she makes.
At first youre just friends, but then winter comes and her sleepy cuddliness breaks the ice. " If i leave my heater My fingers are too cold!!" You:!!!!
You catch her one day playing human dating sims " its for research!!!:)" you both play and giggle
Until during a x rated scene she turns to you and asks if she can " kiss you, for research."; what happens after that is up to you!
Loves sitting in the kitchen while you cook enjoying silent parallel play
Lead life with empathy. If you want to be an actual ally that can help make a difference, you have to lead life with empathy and compassion. We teach children all the time to treat others the way we want to be treated, so why not continue that into adulthood?
Even Decepticons deserve headpats. Especially good boy Decepticons!
This is my first proper attempt at doing miniatures painting. It's from WizKids' Transformers line-up. All of this is the rough base paints right now, but I will show progress as I add detailing.
As an Autistic person who spends way too much time researching things, I have to agree that the way Autism Speaks does things is atrocious. Autistic people deserve kindness, love, and respect. Not fear and hatred. I am not ashamed of who I am, and I am happy to just be me.
Fun fact: I’m autistic I’m gonna do a thing inspired by another person
oh and
I finally watched the final season of The Owl House, and it cemented Luz as one of my favorite Disney Heroes of all time. Growing up as an Autistic person especially with not even getting a school diagnosis until I was 13, I relate to the idea of simply wanting to be understood. The fact that feeling becomes Luz's source of power is beautiful. Thank you, @danaterrace , for giving us something so beautiful.
To everyone who needs help and is out there fighting the good fight, Happy Pride Month! Right now, we live in a scary time. But, we cannot lose sight of how much we care for each other. We need to look out for each other more than ever, and only when we can do that can we make the world a better place.
To everyone who feels like they don't have someone special for Valentine's Day, remember that you always have to have room for yourself. @azulcrescent knows that for sure, and she's an awesome comic creator.
It's February 14 here 👏👏
