Hanging out with autistic friends is the best. You can ask them about their special interests and they’ll give you the coolest, fun fact filled monologue ever
Eu queria muito estar perto de uma pessoa quando ela tem uma explosão de criatividade. Deve ser lindo observá-la no momento em que a criatividade a surpreende. Ela deve sorrir com a ideia que lhe atinge, seus olhos perdidos devem brilhar de boa ansiedade e emoção, deve dar um sorriso luminoso que clareia as mais escuras noites sem luar, sua mente grita para que ela faça logo, o quanto antes. E ela faz. Ela precisa fazer. Sabe que não pode deixar para depois, porque mesmo que a ideia fique, a emoção calorosa do momento torna tudo tão mágico, que não permite esperar. Seu corpo trabalha numa sintonia impecável com a mente, os sentimentos negativos não existem, por segundos, ou se tiver sorte, minutos, ela deve esquecer o seu redor. Esquece-se até de si. Tudo o que importa é aquele frágil e efêmero momento criativo.
Deve ser, realmente, lindo ver uma pessoa assim. Deve ser lindo o sorriso bobo que fica em seu rosto, quando consegue aproveitar seu momento e perceber que aquilo era o que ela precisava e sentir a recompensa. Ela sabe que a dúvida do "poderia ser melhor" sempre irá lhe perturbar, mas não se aflige. Porque naquele momento, ela estava em paz.
he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.
except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?
at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.
except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.
about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.
he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.
Raon: Human, you must stop getting hurt all the time, or- or...!
Cale: Or...?
Raon: ...or we will lock you up in your room! With 3 meals a day!
Cale: *eyes shining* You mean I wouldn't have to go outside?
Choi Han: Cale-nim, no....
Connor McDavid might be a tragic figure with a shit on of pathos but I do unironically get annoyed when people suggest he hates playing hockey or is always miserable. Like, if you watch that man on the ice, he clearly loves it. In his documentary, the moment he starts skating again after severely injuring his knee, he’s immediately so much happier and so much better able to deal with the world. Maybe he doesn’t love everything that comes with being a hockey player, especially the media, but he loves playing hockey. And if you watch him around his team, he clearly loves them too.
Thinking bout one fans story of their dan and phil meet and greet where they wanted to get their bi flag signed but asked if they could also sign their ticket because they couldn't show their parents the flag. Thinking bout how they said Dan was particularly sweet and as he handed them their ticket he said "One day." Thinking bout how Dan wasn't out to his family yet at the time
I know this goes against the Customer Service Canon but after three years of mostly being at home alone due to unemployment, I actually feel like it's been doing me some good being in my new customer service role where I have to be nice to people and act out being in a good mood. You know that rule about how faking a smile still releases the happy hormones? Feels kind of like that.
Like don't get me wrong, I'm still an introvert by nature so I'm exhausted when I get home. And I still get fussed at by angry patients sometimes, I still get rude people. It's not a walk in the park. But even when I wasn't working, I still ran into assholes everywhere that could ruin my day. Meanwhile being in a job where I have to interact with people and be helpful no matter what has led to me having a lot more positive interactions in a day than I've had in years. I get people expressing gratitude to me. I get to actually feel like I'm making a difference in someone's day and that I'm needed. Really feeling the pack animal dopamine that I've been deficient in for years that just isn't possible to get through the internet.
Please stop trying to hang out with me more than once a week, I’m not that fun. I won’t have enough new life lore for you between that time and the previous time to fill a whole hangout
and if the droncerts have a pre show playlist and heat waves is on there and it plays just before dream and or george are set to go on stage. what then
I don’t know if you’re at all interested in discussing your recent post about your stop motion being tagged as body horror (if not, please feel free to ignore this, that’s totally fine!) but I can see where people are coming from. Even if it’s in fabric form, you are essentially showing a body being turned inside out, which could be upsetting to some. I agree that a body horror tag might be a bit of an extreme take on it, but I understand the feeling, and I can understand wanting to warn others who might be triggered by that sort of thing. Of course, if the tag makes you uncomfortable, that’s totally okay too! If making body horror wasn’t your intention, it makes sense that you may not want to see your art labeled that way. I think there really is no right answer, but I just thought it was an interesting thing to consider. Hopefully this isn’t offensive or a bother, I certainly didn’t mean it that way!
Oh I understand where people are coming from, I just personally think they're mistaken in their connection between a plushie and the grotesque images you'll find in the real body horror genre, and that they are disconnected from the ethical issues surrounding the term which make it inappropriate to reduce its definition to a very normal plushie-making process.
"Essentially showing a body being turned inside-out" It's a plushie, and an unfinished, undefined, fabric bundle in a rough animal shape at that point. At what point do we define a "body"? Do people feel the same when an artist starts a 2D drawing with a sketch of the underlying skeleton? Or when a sculptor morphs the clay between their hands? They're going to be "bodies" once finished, after all. Is it body horror when we eat animal-shaped cookies? Are people truly psychologically disturbed by these things so much that what feels like dozens of people have "warned" others in my tags? Or is it just that weird little feeling you get when you see something unexpected?
What people feel when they encounter something is valid, but how we define it matters. If people want to invent a new tag that better describes the distress people feel at anthropomorphizing or identifying with non-living objects, or the weird feeling at seeing something unexpected, that would be appropriate. Plenty of people have mentioned that part making them feel weird and that's not upsetting at all to me. "Body horror" just isn't it.
That being said I probably won't show it again, because it's distressing when you put in so much work to show a full process only for people to dump triggering things into your tags every time it comes around.
dan and phil r wild with the content theyre giving us rn wdym both dnpgames AND dnpcrafts r alive and well in 2024??? next thing u know we’ll have a pinof 11
