the most helpful thing i have ever seen from neurodivergent internet spaces is “THERE ARE OTHER TIMES OF DAY TO BRUSH YOUR TEETH”. this has genuinely saved me from executive dysfunction spirals so many times.
Creating a self insert (who looks a bit like me) is the best thing I've ever done, as it makes me feel so much better about myself. I can be a person in the world of my fav media? I can have adventures with magic, superpowers or just hang out with my fav characters? And there are characters who like or even love me for who I am? Amazing <3
my mind can't seem to shut off to enjoy moments like these. leaving it to only imagine what my own personal "slient hill" would look like. i can only wonder when the armless man will show, maybe even pyramid head himself.
“So?” Villain shoved past Hero, but their limp left their dramatic storm off slow and awkward.
Hero trotted in step beside them. “Can I see?”
Villain shot Hero a look somewhere between annoyance and confusion.
“Ok, ok,” Hero said. “Sorry. …But do you have somewhere to go?”
“Fly away, Hero. You barely know me.”
Hero sped up their walk to step into their path. “I don’t need to know you to be worried. You’re obviously in pain and I’m betting it’s more than a limp. Just let me help!”
“A hero helping a villain?” Villain scoffed incredulously. They tried to dodge around them, but Hero’s hand shot out viper fast. They flinched a little under the grip, but Hero didn’t let go. They met Villain’s eyes unblinkingly.
“I know it’s always been rough for you, but I promise, I will protect you.”

But it can also look like this. Sometimes the best way to care for your spirit is to surround yourself with people who love you and pour into you 🤍✨
So I encourage you, while you’re cultivating and curating your individual self-care routines, to remember to leave time and room for cultivating life-giving friendships.
Neck tickles are literally so deadly to me. And they’re so innocent and light and most people can handle them but I legit CANNOT. I just lose my mind. 😭
I wanted to write down exactly what I felt, what I wanted to say.. But somehow paper stayed empty.. Like a candle wax which stick with candle with so many thoughts but never burned.
The only thing Friends and Community have in common is that they both have a peak straight ship that isn't the main ship and then the main ship is the worst straight ship in human history
There's such an interesting cyber-anthropological phenomenon in feeling a communal pressure to act a certain way, or use the platform a certain way, when joining a new online space. Not in terms of the types of opinions or political views that are deamed acceptable, but in terms of specifics of etiquette and posting formats.
Making a Tumblr post that sounds "like a Twitter user" is met with scorn or derision a lot of the time. And when asking someone why they react like that, typically the answer is some form of "that kind of comedy doesn't work here" or "it doesn't sound right to post like that on this website", which is essentially just "it doesn't fit with the traditions I learned in this specific place".
I will always find the ways social media platforms evolve naturally like societies interesting.
