#A Gift From Below

Thank you @xmajordumps for your immaculate taste and for silver-fox Narinder 🙌 He's been haunting me ever since so I had to draw him.

One of the funniest/dumbest literal thinking autism moments of my childhood happened when I was in 2nd grade. I was going to a new school so I was made to do a bunch of assessments to see where I placed in different subjects. I was most excited for the reading one cuz at my old school I was the best reader in my class, and I wanted to show off.

The lady testing me hands me this little short story and asks me to read it aloud.

And for some reason that I still don't understand to this day, a bunch of the words randomly had like lines or dots above the vowels. Which idk seems like an unnecessary and confusing thing to include when testing a 7 year old. Like you're gaslighting them into thinking theres extra letters in the alphabet. So obvi I ask what the symbols mean cuz I've never seen them in this context. She sorta brushes me off and says, word for word, "those mean you just say the letters name"

What she undoubtedly meant was: "on those words, the letter highlighted will sound like what its called. O with the line sounds O and not uh or ew or whatever"

What I understood was "Just Say the Letters Name"

So anyways i proceeded to read the story aloud, stopping suddenly every other word to pause cuz I wasnt supposed to say bow i was supposed to say o. I know for a fact at one point I just said a word and then stopped and repeated the sentence with just the letter so she HAD to've known I'd misunderstood her. But she said absolutely nothing. I remember walking outta there feeling like a complete idiot, and feeling so embarrassed when later they told my mom my reading skills were an entire grade behind where I should've been. But also looking back at it like wtf how could theyve possibly gotten an accurate understanding of my reading ability under those conditions.

#my mom argued with them on this cuz id been reading since i was three #and acted as a teachers assistant at my previous school cuz the teachers would make me help the other kids all the time #which convinced them to form a 'little reading group' which included me 2 boys from my grade and a girl from the grade below us #cuz we were all in between reading levels #made me so fuckin mad #cuz i knew for a fact i could read better than several people in big reading group #id had to sit in on their lessons a bunch of times #'i was a gifted student' oh yeah well i was in the smaller group for dumb kids how about that

#don’t worry I would never take em anyways #but being gifted below the belt is another great deterrent from #even THINKING about steroids #tbh it isn’t until you move to a big city when you realize that there is a HUGE steroid problem in the community #tbh men’s issue discussions need to bring them up more

it's so hard being a person who needs to be the best at everything when you are slightly below average at best at any given department

#i don't think ppl who tell me i'm good at x thing (that includes things like looks or voice etc btw) are lying or anything #but i do think they're biased and their love skews their perception of me. bc i mean. no one else can see it after all #and i hate that as a kid i was propped up as better than others bc it really did give me this complex while growing up lol #joining a gifted class and finding out i'm not actually particulary smart compared to them #failing auditions as an adult or messing up things i did get into #like this is why i don't like it when ppl say i have an impostor syndrome like noooo i literally do suck 😭 #i'm not saying this in an 'i'm blind to my own abilities' way i'm just saying that compared to most people i am below average 😭 #being better at a thing than the average person who. doesn't do the thing. doesn't mean much when i'm among the worst in those who do #and it's really discouraging from getting better at things too. bc i feel so inherently shitty at everything that it feels pointless #(esp given that i DID put years of effort into certain things yet i still suck or i lost my ability to do them with time) #so it's easier to not try. if i'm gonna be the worst anyway yknow? may as well save the effort and the heartache of trying and failing #(getting better is all about failing over and over yada yada ik all that shit i'm just not built to handle it. mentally) #vent #accidentally. bc i started rambling. bc i'm in some jealousy fueled rage rn sorry

highly gifted sister versus developmentally and multple learning disabilities disabled brother

#“oh your sister is so so smart she's got a learning iq of 141 blah blah blah” #me thinking about what my routine will be when I get home 😴 #i know shes really smart and gifted and it makes her different from her peers but pleaseeeee #let her be a normal child dont make her believe shes this young Einstein because shes literally just 9 and when school starts getting #difficult i dont want her to feel like a failure #i also know theres a lot of stuff concerning iq stuff #(I don't understand it fully) #but my iq was just below average and hers is like way above average #we're opposites #but she is still my biggest fan 💥💪 #take that dad #your new child might be smart and talented but she wants to be like her super cool mildly stupid brother (me B)) #my job is to be funny and make her laugh

#Doodles #SCII #NEJ #Captain Sterling #KUP #The come down from everything :) NEJ is awkward but he cares! #Sterling was probably a surprise since y'know - he comes and goes - usually bringing little gifts lol #I've pretty much already decided that I'm not going to complete ZEX's quest when I get there :') I can at least pretend I leave him stuff! #Picks up the occasional trinket he can salvage - secretly just using ZEX as storage so he can have a museum of human things #Oh no that's sad actually :'D He can only bring so much human stuff with him but ZEX can and wants to host a bunch of things #Puts up ''tasteful'' art around it and Sterling's just like :/ 'kay. That's not what I had in mind but I guess beggars can't be choosers #Lol #Anyway this isn't about him! Mostly ♪ #VUX and their lack of touch boundaries I swear haha is it a cultural thing #Sterling doesn't really mind he's just a bit surprised ♪ Probably just thinks NEJ is being curious about their differences haha #He's looking out for you Captain! In his own small way #Later sneaks up to KUP and gives him a surprise hug upon seeing he's alive and well and then promptly bolts haha #There is something especially cute about a trunk-tuck below another VUX's trunk haha ♪ NEJ is short so he slots into place perfectly! #KUP so confused lol I can't imagine there's all that much friendly touch outside of maybe private rendezvous haha #The impropriety ♪

A lot to unpack here in this Christmas Day. But hear me out—

“Hatched were we in the bosom of the last of the First Gods.” -Kuudai

And perhaps it’s because Chemach’s eyes are pupils shaped as they are due to her madness, but! Chemach to my knowledge is the only character with similiar pupils?

Are we adopting hatching a descendant of the First Gods? Are the developers simply poking fun? Who knows!

u give full chocy bars??? r u rich??????

Oh no lol I make less than $30,000 a year and usually owe on my taxes 'cause Quebec is trash. I just think forking out around $600 spread out over multiple pays is worth it to make a few kids happy :)

#the only reason I say I live *on* the poverty line and not below it #is because I live with two other people #both of which also make maybe around $30000 a year #this may come as a shock to you #but just like in tipping *poor* people tend to be the most generous #I remember how much I loved the houses that gave out full chocolate bars when I was a kid #and I always wanted to be one of those houses #even if I couldn't really afford it #I know how to budget #spreading things out over multiple pays for multiple months #is also how I can afford to get the people I love like 5+ gifts *each* for Yuletide #gift-giving is my love language lol #so I figure it out #gift-*receiving* stresses the hell out of me though haha #this year we're a little tighter so people will get either less gifts or *smaller* gifts #I usually do like one ''big'' $60+ gift for each person #and then a bunch of smaller gifts that are usually under $50 #stuff over $100 will usually be a joint gift from me and someone else

hm.

#ok so. my mom asked a month ago what i wanted for my birthday #and volunteered to take me furniture shopping. so that was ESTABLISHED as the financial scale. #and i mentioned that i’m worried about paying rent lately. and she said ‘‘okay i’ll see what i can do.’’ #and so i requested a week off work so i could come home for my birthday. assuming that the week of wages i would lose would be made up for. #and according to dad. it sounds like my gift this year is dinner out in NYC. and an escape room. #i really really truly do not want to complain because im fully aware that this is an extremely privileged place im coming from #but like…i wish she would have just. listened to me #like even a little bit would help. but no im going to be eating fancy food and solving puzzles i guess. #and then coming home to an empty apartment and not buying groceries for two weeks so that i can make rent #im living below the poverty line and they’re buying broadway tickets for their friends #and it just kind of sucks.

he's so excited, it's quite humiliating indeed. while irons may be accustomed to him, right down to the colorful extravagance of his increasingly gaudy festival costuming, there are some things that can never quite be tamed and that —

"câtâlin!" — would account for his energy... he rushes through the store, closed of course, with both his wolves panting at his heels as they follow along in search of one particular bat. luckily, too large to actually hide among the shelves, not that he believes it to be trying. he finds it towards the back, likely waiting for him in the very spot it had once questioned him, and the only thing that keeps him from falling onto it immediately would, naturally, be the blooming bouquet of unblemished exile roses bundled in his arms. skin flushed, ears perked, his tail is wagging. so are marie's and duchess', bouncing off the excitable energy of their owner, rather than his sourpuss partner. "i have these for you!"
