REEL FEELS: Day 9 The world of Underdesk

I have adjusted this photo heavily. I have curves following the highs and lows, and also turned the saturation up to wayy too much. I kinda love that for you. It's interesting noise to look at, don't you think. Below the cut is a story. Read it, or don't. I'm a sign, not a cop.

This is underneath my desk.

For the purposes of this essay, let's just call it the land of "Underdesk" I have sat here for the better part of 2 years, on and off, mostly off.

This is like my home at work. I come back here when I am done with my adventures throughout my day.

Working IT as a woman is a bit of an adventure for sure. It's less so now, but it used to be every time you walked up to a desk, you had a pretty good chance of being chased away for the crime of being a woman, and not possibly having ANY IDEA what the hell you are talking about.

I joke a lot about the fact that some folks feel like computers have Pen15 ports, and that those that feel this way feel like you must stick your dick in a machine in order to get it to work effectively. It's a joke with a lot of truth to it.

The pictured place is where I will likely be if someone comes and opens fire on campus ever, that is if I can't find an MDF to duck into.

Much of my day is spent walking from building to building, which also feels a lot like walking from culture to culture, each unit operating differently, some more formal, some WAY less formal.

But I know I can always come back to my desk, and find comfort.

After all, my bestie sits here too, and if anything goes wrong, I know he'll protect me.

I wish I had a good story about underdesk. All I can tell you is that this area I sit in now used to be a bowling alley according to some accounts, and according to others may have been a data center (due to the raised floors.)

One thing is for certain, we are not the only inhabitants. The ghosts of many a person still haunt these hallowed halls. And you know what? I'm good with that.

Haunt away!

"Being able to make art is a privilege!!!"

Bro I literally have a learning disability when it comes to learning movements, visualizing space and much more ... and I did these

Not perfect, but creative nonetheless.

Pick a pen up, you'll see everyone has art privilege

If you would like to purchase a hard copy of my work in progress research document 'The Illustrated Dyspraxicon 01', I can print a paperback copy via Blurb.

There's a PDF version available to read on Yumpu (see previous post). But if you're interested in collaboration and further discussion and prefer a print edition, please message me.

Above are 3 rough pages from the section I called 'Right Shelf, Wrong Box', where I begin the explore how my brain sorts and organises information.

Dyspraxic pride + Lancaster pride art w explanation under the cut :)

I learned to drive in my college town more so than in my hometown due to starting at this school right as I started to drive. Dyspraxia makes it difficult and sometimes impossible to know where you are or where things are in relation to each other; “mental maps” don’t exist for us.

However, I feel like I know Lancaster/Millersville (the area where I go to school) more than I’ve gotten a chance to know anywhere else. Recently, I’ve even started to make my easiest and most frequent drive (15 minutes from campus to the parking garage in the city, very few turns) without directions!

This is a huge milestone for me as I’ve only been in the area for a year and a half. I’ve also started to do the same with my easiest drive at home- from home to work and back, also 15 minutes but more turns and less landmarks (so I’m even prouder of myself!)

I want to work my way up by learning slightly longer drives, within reason (I’m lowkey risking my safety in order to build this skill set). Knowing where I am *ever* is a huge source of dyspraxic joy and makes me feel like a competent adult.

The Lancaster area is also a place I’ve connected to like no other. I noticed that the main roads that go through Lancaster county are kinda shaped like the dyspraxia symbol, hence the inspiration for this drawing! Being able to recreate a literal map is a massive feat for a dyspraxic person, much like navigating the county in real life.

I take my dyspraxia with me all throughout Pennsylvania these days, and I hadn’t realized what a privilege it is to have knowledge of one’s hometown. That knowledge comes with pride for me and I connect with my home state in a unique way bc of my dyspraxia :)

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #53

I heard today that you lost your necklace. I heard that you spent a lot of time looking for it by yourself. I heard that the people nearby, who didn't understand, assumed that you were just being strange and creepy and "looting corpses".

I understand the thing that happens when I am trying to do something, and other people assume I'm crazy or just a creep of some kind. Seeing the Shinra workers at Rhadore speak about you that way reminded me of a time when I was younger, and I brought into school an artist's mannequin that I painted, to show my high school art teacher. The other children, already wary of me, didn't understand, and chattered maliciously about me, assuming that I was not quite right in the head. I have a lot more stories about this sort of thing - trying to do something wholesome, only to have others misunderstand and assume that I'm creepy and weird. The fact of the matter is that people can be insecure, and when insecure people don't understand something, their first instinct is usually to mock it. It doesn't have anything to do with the person being mocked; they're just collateral damage in the other person's war against themselves.

I'm sorry you were bullied as a boy. And I'm sorry that your upbringing was such that you didn't think to ask for help to look for your lost locket. It's hard when we don't quite fit in with other people; I and lots of other folks from my world understand that feeling very well. But I'm glad that Matt, Lucia, and Glenn helped you once they realized what you were trying to do (even if they, too, initially thought you were "looting corpses" when they saw you).

I heard that you didn't find your necklace, though. I know you said that "you can accept that it's gone", but I don't think that's true at all, given your body language and facial expression. And now, anyone who has paid attention to you understands very well why, when you're troubled, you instinctively reach for your chest even years after the loss of the necklace.

Sephiroth… I don't know what the locket you lost looked like. I wish I did. But all the same, we of my world have the capacity to reproduce the image you carry with you. And so I did. And I have the capacity to make jewelry. So today I went out and got the supplies to do that. Here:

...If you can come grab it up somehow, it's yours. Impossible, I know. But I'll keep it safe with me, anyway. Or perhaps I'll run into those very important people again - the same people to whom I gave my first letter to you and the Tree of Life materia I made for you. If I do, I'll ask them if they can send this along to you as well.

In the meantime, I can show you how I made it.

I started with a simple locket. I had several to choose from at the place I went to, but I am partial to trees (that might be obvious, since I like to weave them), and I wanted to give you something that would allow you to see the picture even when the locket is closed, so I selected this:

There's no glass there, though; it's just an open piece of metal. I know sometimes you are in the rain or in the mud, and I didn't want the picture inside to get damaged. So I cut out a small, transparent piece of thin, sturdy plastic to protect the image.

In order to do that with any precision, first I made an impression of the inside of the locket on a piece of paper, like so:

See the impression, there, on the lower part of the image, on the paper?

From there, you trace the impression on a piece of plastic, like this:

Then, you use a precision knife to cut it out. I'm dyspraxic, so using one of those is a bit dangerous for me, haha! So I took it very slowly:

I used the outline left behind to trim the photo, and put it into the locket:

From there, I cleaned up the outline of the plastic a little bit, trimmed it to fit, and stuck it over the picture. You can tell that the plastic is there because it reflects the light:

I tried to position it so that the trees would frame her face. The shadow makes it look kinda weird, but I promise you that it looks nice otherwise:

I selected this chain to go with it:

I cut a length of the chain that seemed reasonable, and put a tiny metal circle on one end, like this:

From there, I had to put the clasp on:

To put on a clasp, first you put another metal circle on the other end, and then you put the clasp around the metal circle, too.

Then you pinch it closed with a tool. And the rest is history:

I think it sits at a reasonable location on the chest, but you're taller than me, so... I dunno. You're not here (because obviously), so I can't exactly check to make sure the length works well for you.

In any case... you're left-handed. So I made sure to put the clasp on the left-hand side so that it'd be easier for you to use. And... don't worry; I wore it only for a moment, just to make sure the length of the chain is reasonable. It is yours, so although I'll carry it with me, it's meant for your neck, not mine.

I know that it doesn't replace the one you lost. But... I wished you didn't have to be sad. So here you go. I hope you like it.

I guess that just about wraps up today's letter. As part of my adventures today to get the supplies to make this, I also went and got pumpkin seeds without shells. It's time for me to make pumpkin soup. This, too, is for you.

Don't wander around thinking that you're not loved. Don't wander around thinking that you're not cared for. Don't wander around thinking that you're not seen and heard for exactly who you are. Because I'm right here. And my world is filled with others who are just like me, and they can understand you and care about you just as easily as I can. You're not alone. So stay safe out there and make good, kind, and loving choices.

Expect another letter tomorrow. It will be pumpkin-soup-flavored. Count on it.

Your friend, Lumine

I was trying to get through all of Fantasy High: Sophomore Year before Junior Year dropped and I'd probably have succeeded, hadn't it been for the final episode being no shorter than 5 hours long, so I'm finishing up the final episode of SY now before getting started on the new season. As usual, I have Thoughts. SY spoilers below the cut.

First off, the format. The live stuff is fun, and it gives some of the wilder episodes like Pirate Brawl a real electric energy. The tradeoff is, of course, that combat is a bit harder to follow, but I wasn't really noticing before the final, multi-part curse-breaking apocalyptic brawl. My Dyspraxic ass had some trouble following that one, but considering how much went on that's perhaps to be expected. It'd be pretty rad with models, but I suppose the fan art artists of the world need some epic scenes to recreate apart from all the exquisite emotion in play.

Because oh boy are there a lot of fun emotional stuff. Well, I say fun, but I suppose I do mean "occasionally devastating" by that. Kristen's quest for a theology that makes any sort of sense to her continues, but it hits a bit less hard this season for me, probably because it feels very Main Quest Component-y to me. It's a good component of the main quest, even though its existence as part of the plot does perhaps make it less of a mystery than I think it could be.

Now, where the hits land and don't stop are more in the wheelhouse of Fig, Fabian, and Adaine. Fabian, in particular, goes through the wringer in the middle part of this spring break adventure. Although it is both compelling and fun, I did find myself wanting to reach through the screen and say "Brennan Leeanathan Mulligan, you stop putting that boy in Situations right this INSTANT, that goes for you too Lou." There is, however, no denying that his arc is resolved pretty dang well, and gives Fabian a bit of depth that his "comically out of touch rich swashbuckler boy"-persona might have lacked earlier on.

I'm also equal amounts impressed and intimidated by the gumption to go as deep into the "Adaine's biological parents are pretty damn bad" hole as they do, especially because it did perhaps feel like they were holding back on that a touch in season 1. Gloves are off for Sophomore Year though, these elvish assholes are abusive, and the mask comes off in a major way, perfect for punching with custom-made magic spells.

Riz also feels like he has come into his own in a major way this season. I always felt like he should've had a more leading role in S01, as the one most directly involved in the central mystery from the word go, and that there were pits of character development and anguish yet to mine. I don't know if it was a conscious choice to leave some of that unprobed, or if Riz simply drowned in the maelstrom of strong personalities that is the Bad Kids. Fortunately, Murphy and Mulligan Mining Co. brought their good pickaxes out for this particular outing. Working the season's mystery and his slight sense of alienation from his fellow Bad Kids, Riz is a nexus of cool plot threads. One of these threads even genuinely bamboozled me with a misdirect, which is easier said than done in an Actual Play show.

As for supporting characters, Fantasy High continues to be a provider of interesting folks. Garthy O'Brien and his ward Ayda Aguefort are instant favorites, and Fabian's new bogeyman Chungledown Bim is perhaps not a sterling example of characterization, but there's no denying the gravity of his scrungly presence.

Overall, I feel like the show does get a tiny little bit Days Of Our Lives with the Bad Kid's parents/guardians. It's not a terrible flaw, but I do feel that it puts me in the shoes of Riz a little bit as I go "Welp these people are NOT normal about getting their kisses in, and that's worrying" and try to keep my relationship charts up to date and accurate. Seriously, I do not care much to know who's smooching on who in the adult segment of this story, even when it raises the baffling question of who would be romantically interested in the world's (second) most divorced man, Gilear.

Oh, and I suppose I should talk about Gilear a bit too. He's in this considerably more than S01, as he has the dubious honor of being the players' Favorite Guy of the season. At first, his inclusion seems mostly to be to enable him to Eeyore his way through further humiliations, but honestly he ends up actually being a positive presence in the plot. Granted, he keeps getting into increasingly unlikely predicaments whose sole purpose is to inconvenience or humiliate him, but Fig putting her nose to the grindstone to help the man rediscover whatever scattered fragments of confidence he has left is honestly really sweet.

There's oodles more, I could probably talk about how incredibly sweet the romance between Fig and Ayda is for hours, and the way Brennan weaves the themes of the show in between genre mainstays and conventions with a dexterity that never ceases to surprise me, but I'm sure I'll get to that at some point. Now I gotta do what I actually started this marathon watch for and get started on Junior Year.

Hi Ralph! I learn so much from your blog- not just new information but you always help me understand other perspectives and empathize. I was recently diagnosed with “mild” autism and a non-verbal learning disability so I have trouble reading emotions in other people and I tend to see everything g very black and white. Your blog has been so amazing and helpful because we have a lot of the same interests but you write so considerately and coherently.

How do you feel about the Eras Tour? Do you have a dream setlist?

Also just to promote my favorite artist because I think you might like her world view. (Also I’ve probably come here before to suggest her to you) Her name is Maude Latour and she covers so much, especially navigating the blurry lines between friendship and romantic love as a young bi woman. Anything from her philosophy classes to the Too Hot to Handle reality show inspires her lyrics. One of my favorite lyrics by her is the bridge of her song Lola:

I want a world good enough to believe in

Temperature risin', the planet is heatin'

All of this time, I've been searchin' for meanin'

I remember the reasons

My sister, my friends, and the air that I'm breathin'

I'm 22, what the fuck am I feelin'?

Yeah, I just keep feelin'

Slowly healin'

Thank you for reading this and thank you for giving us your insights.

Thanks anon - it's so lovely to hear that people get something from my blog. It means a lot to hear that I communicate in a way that works for you. It is incredibly difficult navigating a world that tells you the way you are is wrong - and you have my love and solidarity as you figure it out.

As I've said before, I'm dyspraxic and I find it really useful to understand that there are two levels to that. The first is that there are things that are really difficult for me that are easy for other people. There are all sorts of tools to navigate that - and most of them work best if I emphasise to myself that the way I am is OK. The other level is that being expected to do things that I can't do has had a profound impact on my life and my sense of self. I find it really useful to think about those two aspects separately - I don't know if it's useful for you, but I thought I'd pass it on.

I'm also glad you've found artists' that resonate with you. As I've said before it takes a lot for me to get into an artist - and I need to be in a particular mood to start. But I will pass this on for others.

I'm a bit late to the party - but I didn't have a dream set-list for the Eras tour. It seemed like such a daunting task I would never have attempted it - and it seems even more daunting now (although I do have some thoughts about the songs she chose from Lover).

#Oh Taylor #I don't know that I think she'll tour long enough #to bring that tour to NZ #but I can dream

hey kiku! your art is cool and i saw you were also dyspraxic, is there anything that makes traditional art easier for you? i love drawing and usually do digital art because i can use guides for lines and get rid of mistakes easier. i’d love to draw on paper more but my hands just don’t work like that sometimes.

no worries if you don’t want to answer, i just don’t know a lot of other artists with dyspraxia lol

Thank ☺️

Kiku uses a specific type of pencil (Papermate Clearpoint) because they are thicker and easier to hold and doesn't hurt Kiku's hands. But there are also pencil grips and weights that Kiku thinks can help with things like this. Good paper is a good idea because it helps the paper not get distroyed by erasing, same with a good eraser. Practicing helps a lot. Kiku's art started off not great lol
