#including sensory

[itsaspectrumcomic]

I used to wake up my parents in the middle of night, convinced there was a bee in my room.

There wasn't. I could just hear the electricity in the walls.

(Except that one time it actually was a bee and no one believed me.)

thank god they included the helpful image of what the puzzle would look like when finished

#original #it was only 100 pieces but it's made of wood #so it was overall a pleasant sensory experience to have during Analog Time #more a way to keep yourself busy while Vibing than any kind of a challenge #like coloring #anyway when i saw they included a picture I laughed about it the whole time and also now that we're done

its my bday today so heres a new meet the artist :3

#muertodraws #finished my first day of grad school #i would have enjoyed it more if this fuck ass heat wave wasnt happening #but it wasnt too bad im excited to get to workin #also this mta is the first one where i felt like i didnt have to try hard #im allowing myself to exist as i am #and it feels nice #that includes the questioning of autism #aka i am probably autistic #i just struggle with gaslighting myself #but im learnig that autistic coping skills really work for me #like stimming and paying attention to my sensory and social needs #so that has been interesting #anyway #i am super tired but kind of hopeful :) #so thats nice #trans artist #queer artist #meet the artist

An AWS comic

#My art #For the record I am not a medical professional and as far as I know AWS isn't even something you can be diagnosed with??? #It's so hard to describe what the two sensory hallucinations really *FEEL* like #Like the time one... You know how a dramatic slow motion scene looks like in an anime? #It's like that but if you made it a 60 fps interpolated version of it #It is an absolutely bizarre feeling #Meanwhile the hyper awareness and everything feeling intense feels like how a fisheye lens shot in an anime feels #No I could not be bothered to try to figure out how to draw that for this comic #For the record I haven't actually had those visual hallucinations since I was a small small child #Hell I don't even think I had any hallucinations in my teens at all like #The sensory ones just kinda started happening again in the past 7 years or so? #Also the swelling sensation I've only had once so far. Usually I get the hyper awareness sensation #(Also sometimes I get this intense feeling of swaying when I go to bed but that might not be an AWS thing??) #(Like there's other things that could make you feel like you're rocking on a boat when laying down so I didn't include that) #No I have never talked to anyone about these hallucinations because for the longest time I didn't know what they were #And they are like. Harmless. Like I'm 100% aware they're just strange sensations but not real at all #They last max 15 minutes if even that long and they happen like super rarely #Only once have I had the hyper awareness be SO INTENSE it made me feel distressed #So like. It doesn't really affect my life at all? So why bother with it? #Also IDK if I could even go to a doctor and ask about AWS and have them know what that even is #And even if I could as far as I know there is no treatment for it so like. Whatever #As long as I don't start having distressing hallucinations or visual hallucination's I'll be fiiiiiine

#covid #kofi #this is such a miserable experience I already hate being sick and I've had covid once in like 2021/22 but this is so much worse dawg #I'm in sensory hell right now like I was so overwhelmed by how full of snot I was that I cried several times including a full on sob sesh #I can't do fuck all either cuz I'm so exhausted but can't get any fucking sleep cuz I can barely breathe (too much snot not a lung issue) #I want this shit to be OVER AUGH #lee says shit

digital painting; tracked time: 5h 39m; process video below the cut

#effervescent-art #this is my first time doing a self portrait that includes my acne. its something i've always shied away from due to being insecure #but im honestly very fond of how this turned out #also the reference photo for this was taken inside a sensory swing which is why im squished lol #digital painting #self portrait

Incorrect CANON 501st Quotes

Rex, annoyed: Hardcase, why are you BACK in the medbay for the third time today?

Hardcase, holding up his hand: Okay this time it wasn't something stupid-

Kix in the background: Yes it was.

Hardcase: Okay, so you know how I chew on things because it curbs my hyperactivity and lessens my anxiety as a sensory output kind of deal similar to playing with fidgets?

Rex, wide-eyed: That was oddly well-spoken for you, but yes, I know your habit, it concerns me.

Hardcase: Yeah, I know it does, ANYWAY, so, I was sitting on the floor against my bunk, just chilling with my datapad, and I picked up what I thought was my hoodie drawstring and went to chew on the end of it.

Rex, eyebrow raised: And?

Kix, walking over: And it turned out it was the charging cord for his datapad and he put the live wire in his mouth and shocked his tongue, then did it AGAIN before he noticed.

Rex, speechless:

Hardcase, shrugs: I promise I won't do it again.

Rex: I don't believe you.

#the clone wars #captain rex #clone trooper hardcase #clone medic kix #okay so chewing on things is a sensory tactic for a lot of autistic people #myself included #and this was something that I accidentally did last night #only it was my laptop charger #and when I told my mom she laughed and called me a dumbass #which is an astute observation.

The fun Grey Area of buying offbrand fast fashion and fast-adjacent fashion, but then wearing it for years because you bought it for Broke reasons or Style I Love On Sale reasons.

Like... yeah, I do have some athletic wear and socks from Costco, some shirts from Hot Topic, even some blouses I bought from H&M before I learned how damaging it is.

But most of them are machine-washable cotton so I can wear them for uhhhhh [checks] I've still got Patagonia shirts from fifteen years ago, so I'll be wearing them that long if they don't fall apart from Lesser Quality and Rough Use

(Obviously, Patagonia is intended to last much longer than the general cheap-ish brands I'm talking about, but I needed an example of a known brand I've definitely had for that long to use as an example of how long I'd keep a shirt once I get it. There are others that I've had for a while but can't actually remember when I got them, like the Tinkerbell shirt.)

(I also do have some of my mom's blouses from the late 90s/early aughts so. I clearly don't care overly much about things going out of fashion.)

Like... I could do better than I am, but at least I'm doing better than the average?

#personal #phoenix talks #economics #fast fashion #I do try to limit myself to organic materials outside of Specific Items (namely athleticwear and rain jackets) so at least there's that? #IDK I try not to get rid of anything unless it doesn't fit or has a sensory issue #rare exceptions include merch for things I am no longer comfortable with owning (HP and SnK are the main examples)

okay but dream experiencing the worst sensory overload after he's free because the world's gained several billion people since the 1910s and he's been living in almost complete silence for over a century. and also he associates loud noises with bad memories now because the only times he heard anything while in the fishbowl was either roderick or alex burgess demanding shit from him or jessamy getting shot. and he chalks it up to adjusting to life as the king of dreams in 2022, but the amount of noise and dreams and thoughts are catching up to him, until hob finally notices his bf's on the verge of a serious mental breakdown and introduces him to noise cancelling headhones and weighted blankets. and now hob's not only a safe place/person for him, he's also somewhere quiet. not in a stuck-in-a-fucking-fishbowl-in-the-basement-with-no-way-out kind of quiet, it's just peace and blankets and occasional cuddles while hob gripes about his students' grammar.

#part two of my fishbowl trauma related rambles ig #listen according to a quick google search the world population in 1916 was barely 2 billion #and that's not including the animals because we know he governs their dreams too #so living in suffocating silence for a century only to escape and instantly be bombarded with almost four times the amount of people alone #literally the most overwhelming fucking sensory overload ever #and because dream is dream I know he's not going to realize something's off and he can ask for help #so it's up to hob who arguably has been closest to him to figure out his undiagnosed neurodivergent bf is about to jump off a cliff #a metaphorical one but he's still on the edge #and sure dream probably has heard of weighted blankets and headphones but he's not going to consider actually getting one to use #especially not for himself #because he's a dumbass who still needs to learn that sometimes humanity is capable of inventing useful things #dreamling #dream of the endless #hob gadling #the sandman

PoV: you tell the libfem that wearing makeup in the shade “hypsersexual twelve year old” isn’t the most feminist thing you can do

#radfem do touch #radfem please touch #radfem memes #sorry libfems but you made me cranky today so now you get made fun of #their greatest hits include: i thought feminism was about a woman’s choice? i do it for myself! i have sensory issues you ugly bitch! #also it is the navy seal copypasta changed to be liberal feminist
