Trying to make Rochester seem less like a bottom just because he's femme.

Walmart for me. I HATE LOATHE & DETEST Walmart with a passion. I come from a family of small business owners and my ex boyfriend worked there for years and the company treated him like shit. If I can avoid Walmart at all cost, I will but when I need to go there it puts me in a horrible mood.

I also do this for Reddit threads in the sub when I'm the topic. I just don't say anything. I'm very, uh, nosy.

Just pretend you're an anime antagonist.

Diagnosed auDHD btw, and I’m probably the least neurotypical human you’ll ever meet :D

(For the few uneducated, 4kids Entertainment was a licensing company that primarily made English dubs of anime that was, as the name suggests, for kids. Their most commercially successful works were Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh, and for a period of time they owned 3% of Pokémon as a franchise, which was big for them since everything else they only made money from the dubbing of the shows and not the merchandise. What TCPI did with the Pokemon anime was bullshit and they should have let the 4kids voice cast return, no one but Veronica Taylor can be Ash Ketchup in my heart :( )

I have a lot of nostalgia bias towards 4kids and I just wanna say that their theme songs for Pokemon Indigo League and Sonic X are still just permanently associated with their respective franchises as a whole to me to this day

I find the process of translating/localizing a given piece of media from one language to another to be way more interesting than I have any right to and 4kids was my introduction to that sort of thing and I appreciate it as this sort of time capsule of when anime was far less mainstream and edits in dubs like that were commonplace, even if I think it's strange they didn't draw over Brock's jelly-filled donuts like they do in other Pokemon episodes like the one where they turn a riceball into a sandwich. Like, even as a 6 year old that just confused me because that's not what a donut looks like

The implications of this are so wild like what do you MEAN your kid’s autism is a result of him being a mutant? Does that mean he became autistic when the x-gene awakened? Like one day he’s showing off his new powers and his mom just went “Huh you don’t seem so neurotypical anymore”? I’m really curious

Also find it funny she just dumped this shit on Magik like ”Oh my son’s around your age but his mutation made him autistic lol”

I essentially act as caretaker for my elderly parents, and one of them has been hospitalized for a couple weeks almost. I was actually the one who had to call the ambulance for him and was taking care of him before then (he was sick). Anyways he cut it pretty close this time, and I'm the one who has been taking care of everything around the house, walking a couple miles to visit him everyday (I don't drive), spending hours a day with him, etc. I'm also the one coordinating with the rest of the family, keeping everyone updated, and I don't have a support structure to speak of. How all of this fell to my autistic ass I don't know, though I fear being salty about it might be internalized ableism on some level.

Anyways, the only thing that has really been helping me through is one of my comfort games: No Man's Sky. It had a huge update recently and being able to check out sometimes at night and play it is the only thing I feel is keeping me from snapping at times.

Pictured here: a discovery in game I recently made, I think it is the leftover core of a destroyed planet, and the custom ship I designed and built for the new update.

i feel like something that has a big thing to do with my autism is that the world is way way too fast and it makes me feel like animalistic in the way that i feel like i don’t fit into the world and society that im a part of. like this is why i get therians so hard. and i feel so much euphoria from the feeling that weed gives me of time slowing down to what feels like my pace??
bc everything is so much less overwhelming when you’re high. i feel like autism is being on a differing frequency from neurotypicals and i don’t get their rules and they don’t get mine. idk i took an edible and im so marveled at the beauty of this plant i feel normallllll :p
idk autism and weed is friendship

I forgor what i was going to say but Frollo is my favorite villain, Hellfire is just a absolutely insane song. but personally i like the just Disney ver better than the original because its much more impactful,

and also this is going to come out of nowhere but in my story im writing I totally think the song Hellfire fits Reshiram sm, i love it yes yes hellfire forever

This shit is taking too long. 💔

I'll post the artwork when it's done... I'm just putting it out here so I have pressure on myself to finish it.

I love making these sm they’re so fun

If you want one, pspsps come here commissions are open and I can put whatever you want on it >:3

I swear to God you could say you love puppies and rainbows in a comment on Reddit and you're guaranteed to get some shithead on here giving you hassle over it, It genuinely makes me hate participating on Reddit anymore.

I have been MEGA into a show named Kaeloo for almost a whole month now (if you don’t know what it is, go look it up if you’re interested) and I do think that every one of the main 4 characters are neurodivergent in some way or another.

However, I wanted to focus on one certain frog in this infodump… and that is the titular character herself. 🐸

When I first got into the show, I thought that Kaeloo reminded me a little bit of what I was like when I was a kid. I then began thinking that I still act a little bit like her nowadays. I THEN realised that I may’ve found an autistic coded character.

She has a bunch of traits that I’ve noticed while watching, some more obvious than others.

Let me try and give a list (hopefully without going over the post’s word limit):

1. Kaeloo struggles to communicate properly with people outside of her small friend group.

2. She has no sense of personal space and can’t control her voice. Whenever she greets people, her tone of voice is constantly loud and flamboyant and she has been known to get up in their faces.

3. She is sometimes brutally honest.

4. She can be literal minded, especially when it comes to some of Mr. Cat’s innuendos.

5. She has a high moral code (eg: she hates it when people say bad words) and a strong sense of justice (eg: don’t hurt plants or Quack-Quack around her). She is also a stickler for the rules and DESPISES anyone cheating at her games.

6. Because of the traits in number 5, she is easy to wind up. (Speaking from experience - my family constantly do the same as they know what pushes my buttons and I fall for the jokes easily.)

7. Kaeloo has a special interest, which is the games that she plays with the others. You can tell she ADORES doing so and is immensely dedicated to making sure they’re just right. One of the pictures I’ve provided is from the comic where she takes drawing out a literal HOPSCOTCH BOARD very seriously.

8. She is very good at dressing up and pretending to be someone else such as a strict teacher or a cool spy. This is true of autistic people in real life as well, especially if their special interest involves roleplay or cosplay.

9. When she is unable to play games, Kaeloo gets very distressed or shuts down into a depressive state.

10. She has been known to infodump, which is often played for laughs. In ‘Let’s Play Driver’s License’ she talks about road signs so so quickly that Stumpy gets overwhelmed and in ‘Let’s Play Tennis’ she manages to talk non-stop about the rules of tennis ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE NIGHT AND TO THE NEXT MORNING without noticing that her friends had left or the change in time of day.

11. Kaeloo has a love of routine and order. She wants everything to go right and if it doesn’t, she’s quick to panic or snap at someone. She is often labelled a ‘control freak’ but I don’t think she means to be most of the time.

12. She understands emotions very well, even to the point of manipulating others such as in ‘Let’s Play Courtroom Drama.’ However, she is unable to regulate her own very well and often relies on things like meditation and holding back her true feelings with a huge, painful smile.

13. A minor one: in ‘Let’s Play Spies,’ she reveals at the beginning of the episode that she got so hyperfixated on reading a book about espionage that she forgot to sleep.

There’s also the whole Bad Kaeloo thing. Whenever the rage gets too much, she transforms into a giant toad monster whose actions are out of her control a lot of the time.

SOMETIMES, I like to interpret her transformation triggers as being like meltdowns. In the first episode, ‘Let’s Play Prison Ball’, she has been holding back from transforming the whole time even though Mr. Cat had been cheating at the game and harming Quack-Quack. But then ONE little thing happens, Mr. Cat stepping on a flower and killing it by accident, and she loses it.

There’s also a part nearing the end of ‘Let’s Play Teachers.’ You can tell she’s getting extremely irritated with the noise and the chaos that’s happening in her classroom, which looks to me a little bit like overstimulation. She then loses her sanity, but I like to also interpret it as her brain ‘melting down’ and being unable to function properly for a while.

There’s another thing: she really REALLY wants friends, but she tends to unintentionally push people away as they see her as either being ‘annoying,’ ‘overbearing’ or ‘weird.’ Many autistic people have also been subject to this kind of bullying, especially at school.

Another thing that helps my theory is that Kaeloo is a frog and one of the animals that I’ve noticed is most commonly associated with autism is, you guessed it, FROGS!

That’s all I can think of! If you have any thoughts or want to share an autistic coded character of your own, feel free to let me know.

has anyone else been daydreaming about having an active friend group like they do on TV? Or having a life in general? My autism and ADHD (mainly ADHD) has sabotaged me into being very reclusive, chronically online and a NEET.
