Turns out that if you are at least moderately attractive and have good grades in school they just let you raw dog ADHD and autism until you're in your 30s and realize you should probably get a diagnosis that isn't borderline or anxiety

ALT what autistic shutdown actually is: autistic shutdown happens when the nervous system has been overwhelmed for too long, and cannot keep going. instead of exploding outward, the body shuts down into a low-energy, protective state. a person in shutdown may: stop speaking. withdraw socially. feel frosen or numb. struggle to think or respond. THIS IS NOT A CHOICE. it's not manipulation. it's not "checking out." is the body trying to survive.

Things that have improved my writing:
- beta readers
- reading published books regularly
- English/writing classes
- writing
- failing and trying again
Things that have NEVER improved my writing:
- some rando online telling me that my methods suck
- that I suck
- to kms
- etc.

I’ve seen so much fandom etiquette/AO3 discourse lately, I wanted to share my Comprehensive Thoughts 🧵

my deepest darkest kinkiest most fucked up fantasy is that there’s a hospital with all the doctors I need in one spot and they all communicate and are truly invested in me and work together and figure it out and I get better. and its $35

what's with ppl recently and their obsession with wanting to bully tf out of fic writers and then playing victim when they receive an ounce of pushback cuz ppl don't like, y'know, being bullied unprovoked by internet strangers

A few basic etiquettes for readers of FREE fics since yall got me fucked up now that my favorite beauty left.
Feel free to add your own! 😅
(*This is in no way directed at anyone. This is just MY opinion on readers etiquette that needs to be said.)
•If you're under 18 and CHOOSE to read a fic that has 🔞 or tags you don't like, you can NOT be mad at the writer for the 18+ plots or what the tags say!! Don't understand ao3? Don't go on it.
•If you do not like a fic, you move on. You don't comment mean things, or go complain to the author. Let's grow up.
•Do not accuse of AI without proof or admittion, your 'guess' means nothing and would just start a hate train. Go touch grass.
•DO NOT run ANY fic through AI detector sites, because they store and use said writings. You are GIVING that authors writing to AI for future AI writers to get use of. STOP! You're helping AI.
•Around here we prefer 'badly' written over AI written. Everyone has to start somewhere and they can learn and grow. YOU can learn and grow too, and write your own fics since you know so much. 😃
•Replies, reposts, kudos, and comments are the only thing writers get for writing. So if you enjoy a fic, leave them. ♡ We really appreciate them and it helps motivate us. 💗

Friendly reminder to use Glaze and Nightshade on your art/designs before posting them online. 💖
Glaze protects against AI agents stealing your specific style by cloaking your image, while Nightshade poisons and distorts the image so AI agents can’t recognize what it is.
And yes, if you’re a VTuber posting commissioned art and you’re against AI, you NEED to do this too to protect your likeness from being stolen. This way you can prevent malicious AI generated fanart or people stealing your designs. You have tools to fight back, use them! 💖

You all need to understand that there is a well-funded movement to kill Wikipedia as an institution. The dream of an internet that provided universal access to knowledge was a mirage. It threatened too many powerful people, so now we have AI summaries and illiteracy.

And if I tell you that this “we should be allowed to critique fics” wave is just part of the “being a hater as a bonding activity” that we see so often with antis on public fandom spaces lately?… the point is cruelty, that constant need of feeling superior, and just being a dick

no shade but some of you are losing the plot when it comes to this fanfic discourse. "fanfic authors need to respect readers' time" doesn't sound like a crazy statement to you? over something you're not paying for?😭

art school day one lesson: critique is consensual and it NEVER focuses solely on the negative. critique is done for the benefit of the artist, with their consent, it is not spouting your personal opinions without permission.
you do not know anything about critique.

When autistic people ask you to put in extra effort to understand how we experience and interpret the world differently, we’re not asking for anything we haven’t spent our entire lives doing for neurotypical people.
The difference is that neurotypical people are treated as the default, so you’ve rarely had to think about how much effort that understanding takes.
We’ve been doing that work for you for years. We’re asking you to meet us halfway.
