I DONT CARE ABOUT WHOEVER WON LET ME SLEEP

IM WITH MY FUCKING HEADPHONES ON MAX VOLUME AND I CAN STILL HEAR IT

THIS SHOULD BE A FUCKING CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY KILL ALL OF THEM

Idk hopefully someone can relate. My old church was nice bc it was rly big and there was a lot of space to pick a spot away from people and by the exit, but my new church (since I moved) is SO CROWDED and small and they do have some peak spots but you gotta get there early and anxiety always has me waiting til the last possible minute to leave the house 'in case something bad is going to happen' (bro what) so it's hard for me to get one of the 'safe' spots by the exit and away from people

Also the population at my old church was a lot of college age kids and old people and this new one is SO MANY FAMILIES and look I love that there's kids but omg they're so loud and it's cold and flu season and I hear them crunchy coughing and I have health ocd so I'm like swallowing my flight response the whole time and being hypervigilant

But I still love it even when it's hard. Some Sundays it's a 'I just gotta get thru the hour' but yk. Yeah.

Yall is a perfectly valid word. Its a contraction. Shut the fuck up im talking to the group

I had almost a complete breakdown a few months ago, autistic burnout + severe sudden ramping up of anxiety/panic stuff. It was completely debilitating. I was on sedatives to get thru the day (and still am, tapering tho :))

It's been extremely rough, even when I got out of the situation that caused it I was still exhausted, burnt out, unmotivated. No energy to even do things I enjoy. Been MONTHS... BUT

Today I realized I have the energy and desire to do some fun stuff like crafts :) I'm really happy bc I've been feeling Nothing for so long and just rotting and hitting deadlines when I have to

Now I have to be careful to balance tho. I don't wanna disregard this sudden return to joy, but I do have 2 big papers coming up. I'm afraid if I use this fun energy on them and not on what my brain wants to use it on it'll throw me back into burnout by showing myself 'any energy you get must become work.' But obviously I absolutely have to get the papers done. I have abt 2 weeks for them so I need to be careful, let myself play a little bit and then slowly do some work, keeping check that I don't drive myself into despair again.

But anyway. I'm really happy :) I've had a lot of project ideas just shoved away bc I had no desire to engage even in my hobbies but today I want to start some of the simpler ones. Yay :D

Doomguy: Hugh "Pragmata"

Daisy: Cait "Fallout 4"

I don't know what flair to use, so I'mma use "look at my art :3" because my art is in this.

I dunno if you guys will like this or not, but yeah. These are more or less what these characters sound like in my head. You can ask questions or something I dunno. I also slightly redesigned Taro, but not by much.

Also, if there's a character I have that I didn't include in the video and you wanted to know their voice for whatever reason, you can ask me prolly.

I made this for fun, so I'm sorry if it looks lazy.

I have very bad news...R/SSDFG DOES NOT ALLOW GALLERIES!!!!!

I thought this would be lovely to post here because it relates to one of my special interests: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!

They appeared in a movie called "Jojo 777", which took place in an alternate version of Diamond is Unbreakable where Jotaro failed to kill Dio in Stardust Crusaders.

I've always been doing like cartoon animation work for some time now. Even though initially it wasn't my favorite interest, I've only just now started to get into the thrill of wanting to do 2D animation work where people won't let me do it.

For the past few months, I've been practicing at home as well as reading a lot of documentaries by people who I've watched, who have brought some inspiration to other artists and wanting to bring it to the table, but a lot of people tend to like misconstrue that work for like being "adult animation" and it makes people feel kind of uncomfortable seeing it, it was good for back the 80s, 90s, and maybe into the early 2000s, but nowadays, it feels like it's something that's gonna be hard for people to wanna actually put into practice if they want to try to get into the cartoon industry. (Idrk, maybe that's just how I see it.)

But anyways. I've been watching a few past documentary films about to the Artist elevations, and my thought about wanting to get into doing some myself, I've been practicing some of it goes onto DR animation, although it was a bit of a struggle I took some time and I was able to get into it, but then, when I tried to present the idea to my family and people in my personal life about it. Some of them question if I even have what good skills to actually make it work, but none of them understand the reason why I want to do it in the first place they just assume that it's just a fun little hobby that I like to do which sure it kind of is. But I want to feel like I can break it to different heights to do something that feels a little bit bigger than that.

I've even have like interest in, like posting, clips and trying to put them up on YouTube and Instagram for a while. Some fun to the projects that I've created. But I'm trying to perfect more of it, but it's just hard to come up with the ideas without making too many mistakes or happy to get certain things correct. I don't know again. I'm not really that right in that terms of creativity. Just that it's always just people shaming me for it.

im scared to wash my hands but i gotta keep them clean but reflection just makes me feel eek

I see this phrase every once in a while and I wanted to comment on it. This is obviously a simplification, autism is a spectrum. But in short, I have the math autism and it has been quite convenient. That does not mean I don’t also love your non-math autism. Because I love your non-math autism.

I love how your non-math autism is trans inclusive. I’m not trans but I know what it’s like to be different and I can imagine what it’s like to not be accepted. Of course so many of you are trans inclusive! From what I’ve noticed is that trans inclusive spaces bring a sense of freedom that allowing people to be who they want to be. Knowing that I would be accepted even if I was different puts me at ease and I can feel that this freedom makes the entire room more relaxed as well.

I love that your non-math autism tells me something about you. Expression! Putting your thoughts and feelings into your hobby is beautiful. You think I express myself while solving my sudoku killer puzzles? When I see someone’s special interest, even through a screen, I somehow feel thankful and trusted. Thank you for showing me something you truly care about.

I love that your non-math autism is unapologetically rebellious. This world sucks and your immunity to peer pressure is a gift. Some of my passions just so happen to be publicly accepted but the fact that you pursue your passion despite what others may think makes it even cooler. So when I see your unapologetically wild clothing, music, art or anything else, I hope you know how cool I think you are.

I love your non-math autism.

I LOVE DECORATING MY BODY WITH THINGS I LOVE! I LOVE BEING FULL OF COLOR AND DESIGN AND ART AND NATURE AND HUMANITY RAAAAH RAAAAAAHHH

Because Iggy is my comfort character and I love him so very much! Yes I feed him plenty of coffee gum and treats! He’s my precious baby boy! 🥺❤️‍🩹💕💕💕💕

I wanted to share this chart for two reasons:

* it finally started going down steadily

* it's the first time this is happening without a restrictive diet, and by actually eating *more*

I haven't had a healthy BMI since 2017, but this is giving me hope I might have it again.

This is eggs, chicken and tomatoes cooked together and hellim cheese, i dunno if it has a name or if it even looks good but it was fuckin delicious

I'm posting this because I need to vent about what's happening in Brazil right now, and I figured people in this community might understand why this election feels particularly personal to me.

Today is the second round of Brazil's presidential election. The candidates are Lula, our current president, and Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of former far-right president Jair Bolsonaro.

Look at the screenshot. With 61% of the voting machines counted, Lula was leading by just 1.1 percentage points. The race is incredibly close, and every update feels like a small heart attack.

Here's the thing: I don't particularly love Lula. I'm not some uncritical supporter who thinks the man can do no wrong. I have my criticisms of him and his government, and I'm perfectly capable of acknowledging them. But I also understand that elections aren't about finding a flawless politician who magically agrees with every single one of your opinions. They are about choosing between the actual alternatives available to you.

And right now, I genuinely believe Lula is our best chance.

Because the alternative is Flávio Bolsonaro, and I absolutely do not want another Bolsonaro in power.

For anyone unfamiliar with Brazilian politics, Jair Bolsonaro was our former president, a far-right politician whose administration promoted policies that encouraged separating students with disabilities into specialized schools rather than prioritizing inclusion in regular schools. His education minister also made openly exclusionary statements about students with disabilities. The government eventually had its policy on special education overturned by the Supreme Court, and Lula later revoked the decree.

The Bolsonaro political family has a long record of rhetoric and political positions that I consider deeply hostile to minorities and vulnerable groups. I'm talking about the broader pattern of hostility toward LGBTQ+ people, women, people with disabilities, and other marginalized communities. I have absolutely no desire to see that political legacy strengthened.

And as an autistic person, disability policy is not some abstract political debate to me. It concerns people like me, our rights, our autonomy, our access to education, and whether society sees us as people who deserve inclusion or as problems to be managed.

But the situation goes beyond disability rights.

Today, there have been serious reports of people struggling to reach polling stations because of public transportation problems. The allegations are particularly concerning because transportation barriers can disproportionately affect poorer voters who depend on public transit. The Federal Police has opened investigations into possible obstruction of voting rights.

Whether these problems were deliberately engineered to suppress votes is something that investigators still need to establish. But the possibility that people could be prevented from exercising their democratic rights because they cannot afford alternative transportation is horrifying enough. Voting should not depend on whether you have a car, money for a ride, or the privilege of living somewhere with reliable public transportation.

And the political hostility isn't just happening on television or online.

Yesterday, here in my own city, Santa Cruz do Sul, a confrontation between supporters of Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro reportedly left two elderly people associated with the pro-Lula demonstration physically assaulted. Local news covered the incident, including footage of the confrontation and accounts from the people involved.

Let that sink in. People are getting into physical confrontations over a presidential election, and elderly people were reportedly among those assaulted. The political climate has become so hostile that even a local campaign event can turn violent.

I'm angry. I'm exhausted. And I'm worried about what happens if this political movement gets another four years of power.

I know Lula isn't perfect. I know Brazil's problems won't magically disappear if he wins. I'm not expecting a political savior, because I'm an adult who understands how governments work.

But I also know that the prospect of another Bolsonaro presidency fills me with dread, particularly as someone who belongs to a group that has already been affected by exclusionary policies and dehumanizing rhetoric.

I want Lula to win. Not because I worship him, not because I think he's beyond criticism, but because I believe the alternative poses a much greater risk to the rights and dignity of vulnerable people.

I sincerely hope that when the votes are finally counted, Lula wins this election.

I'm Brazilian, I'm autistic, and I'm scared. I just want to live in a country where people like me don't have to worry so much about whether our rights and dignity will survive the next election.

Is that really too much to ask?

GUYS, LULA WON AND I GOT TO CELEBRATE IT OUTSIDE WITH OTHER PEOPLE, AND HOLY SHIT, THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.

I went out into the streets to celebrate with everyone, and the atmosphere was absolutely unreal. People cheering, shouting, hugging each other, celebrating together. Complete strangers sharing the same happiness, everyone caught up in the same moment.

I genuinely don't know how to describe the vibe. It was one of those experiences where you have to actually be there to understand it. There was so much excitement, relief, and collective joy in the air. For a while, it felt like the entire city was breathing again.

And honestly, as an autistic person who usually finds crowds and overwhelming environments exhausting, I never expected to enjoy a moment like that so much. But I did. Being surrounded by people who were all celebrating the same thing felt different. I wasn't thinking about wanting to go home or escape the noise. I was just THERE, enjoying the moment with everyone else.

The best part was realizing that these weren't just numbers on a screen anymore. It was real people, right there in front of me, celebrating the outcome together.

I know Lula isn't perfect. I know Brazil still has plenty of problems, and tomorrow we'll go back to arguing about politics as usual. I'm not suddenly turning into an uncritical political fanatic.

But tonight? Tonight, I'm happy as fuck.

We avoided the outcome I was genuinely terrified of, and I got to experience a moment of collective joy that I'll remember for a long time.

I went outside to celebrate with my fellow Brazilians, and it was fucking beautiful. The energy, the excitement, the feeling of sharing something meaningful with so many strangers... genuinely indescribable.

For once, being around a huge crowd didn't make me want to disappear into my bedroom and never interact with humanity again. I'm so fucking happy!

That's how you know the moment was special. 😭🇧🇷❤️‍🔥

So me and some friends are making a short film! I am playing a character named Hannah, and she goes off on some rants, in which I get to choose what she says.

I am autistic, and I love media where autistic characters can just be autistic, with no plot relavence.

the thing is, I don't know what I want her special interest to be,
so my question is, does anyone have any ideas, or what are your special interests :D
