Boredom Doodles...

Practicing drawing Severus Snap-Crackle-Pop whilst entertaining thoughts of lore about that fanfic I’m never gonna finish writing.

rewatched cats 98 yesterday and felt especially charmed by munkustrap this time around. poor guy. talk about herding cats

[ID: A flat-color digital drawing of Munkustrap from the musical Cats, from the hips up. His eyes are closed, and he’s grimacing and rubbing his temples, with his ears pressed flat and his tail puffed up. The speech bubble reads “Can everyone please just keep it together for five seconds?” /end ID]

As an autistic person, I don't much like tone indicators (e.g., /s, /j, /nm, etc) for a very simple reason. They just replicate my issue with tone in a new medium.

IRL, I have to memorize tones and what they mean, then when I hear words, I need to retroactively change what I think they mean based on the tone.

With these "tone indicators", I need to do the exact same thing. Memorize the little weird acronyms, then when I read words, retroactively change what I think they mean based on the acronym.

Instead, can we actually SAY the words we mean, in the sentence? So instead of:

"hey when will you do the dishes /nm"

write:

"hey, not mad just asking, when will you do the dishes?"

If we really *must* use some kind of indicator, can we change it to a word in parentheses, like that meme? I often do this with short phrases or jokes, such as, "lol I hate you (affectionate)".

idk if it’s the mental illness but sharing literally any information feels like oversharing. i’ll be like “i skipped breakfast this morning” and immediately im like “i might as well have told them where i buried the money”

It has just now occurred to me that what’s “visibly on the spectrum” is wildly different for autistic and allistic people. Most allistics don’t recognize autistic behavior (at all or anything more that weird/quirky) unless it impacts their ability to interface with an autistic person. That’s when allistics see someone as visibly on the spectrum. Other autistics can spot each other from a mile a way though over minor stuff.

For example every allistic I’ve ever worked with has told me “oh but you’re sooo good at socializing with people?!? I could neverrrr tell?!?!” If they learned I’m autistic.

However other autistic people meet me and are like: YOU. AUTISM.

I have this entire headcanon of merlin calling lancelot just "lance" . And one day he's rambling to arthur about lance this lance that and arthur just goes

"Lance?"

"Yeah"

"L A N C E?"

"......-celot. Lancelot. Sir lancelot."

"...."

"...nickname. it's a nickname. Term of endearment. You give it to someone you like."

And then Arthur pines for weeks and tries to call merlin "merls"

Day 76 (76/81)
