Shamrocks: The Green Threads That Weave Through St. Patrick's Day

The shamrock, a small three-leafed clover, is an iconic symbol deeply intertwined with St. Patrick's Day celebrations worldwide. This annual Irish holiday, observed on March 17th, commemorates Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland who allegedly used the shamrock to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity during his Christian missions.

On St. Patrick's Day, the shamrock takes center stage in festivities, adorning everything from clothing and decorations to food and beverages. People wear shamrock-shaped pins, don green attire, and even dye rivers and beer green to honor Irish heritage. Parades featuring elaborate floats, traditional music, and dance performances fill city streets with jubilant crowds.

The shamrock's association with luck has expanded beyond its religious origins, becoming a symbol of good fortune and Irish culture. Whether real or stylized, it appears on countless products and marketing materials during this season. From shamrock shakes to shamrock-themed parties, this simple plant has become a powerful emblem of Irish pride and festivity, uniting people of all backgrounds in a day of joyous celebration and cultural appreciation.

The Autism Awareness Ribbon features a puzzle piece pattern in vibrant shades of blue, reflecting the complexity and diversity of autism spectrum disorders. This symbol, adopted in 1999, represents the mystery and complexity surrounding autism.

The ribbon aims to increase public understanding of autism, a neurodevelopmental condition affecting communication, social interaction, and behavior. It's often displayed during Autism Awareness Month in April and on World Autism Awareness Day (April 2nd).

The puzzle piece design signifies the challenges faced by individuals with autism and their families, while also highlighting the unique strengths and perspectives they bring to society. This ribbon serves as a powerful tool for advocacy, support, and promoting acceptance of neurodiversity.

The Autism Puzzle Piece is a widely recognized symbol representing autism spectrum disorders. Introduced in 1963, it symbolizes the complexity of autism and the diverse experiences of those affected. The puzzle imagery suggests that autism is a condition still not fully understood, with many pieces yet to be connected.

While some embrace this symbol as a way to raise awareness, others critique it for implying that autistic individuals are incomplete or need fixing. Despite controversy, the puzzle piece remains a common emblem in autism advocacy, appearing on logos, merchandise, and awareness campaigns worldwide.

KAIDOU HEADCANONS BECAUSE I'M OBSESSED WITH SAIKI K RIGHT NOW

Tw, Sh (nothing graphic)

- He used Dark Reunion and Jet Black Wing as a coping mechanism since he was bullied as a kid and it developed into a delusion of his.

- Maybe he has MDD, with how much he is daydreaming. I'm not really sure what diagnoses he would have.

- Except autism. He got diagnosed with that one hella quick.

- I love FtM Kaidou!!! He always tries to prove to everyone how manly he is because of gender dysphoria.

- He doesn't experience much body dysphoria but MAN does he experience social dysphoria

- This, clashed with bullying he experienced as a autistic trans lil kiddo, made him depressed since he learned how to spell this word /hj

- He was depressed from a young age, ok?

- Also he hangs out with Nendo whenever he needs gender affirmation cuz Nendo is always calling him "Bro", "Dude" and stuff.

- He only told Saiki (later also Aren) about him being trans. Of course Saiki knew but just gave him a thumb up to show his support

- His bandages are also covering up his self harm scars! He never went to a psychologist but he is definitely cutting less than when he was younger.

- He told his lil bro that his scars are from battles and then caught him drawing scars on his hands because "I want to be like you, big bro". He cried so much because the source of insecurities was now a positive in his brother's eyes

- Halloween is his favourite holiday (canon) because he can dress all evil, the way he likes and don't look dumb, even get complimented!!

- He definitely wants to try more alternative fashion but again, bullying

- Aren always tells off his bullies and Kaidou feels so much safer around him because of that

- He doesn't want to recover because he just doesn't really see his problems as REAL problems. It's just something integral in his life

- Whenever Kaidou goes to sh in the school bathroom, Saiki conveniently puts disinfector and bandages in the stall Kaidou's in

- His sister doesn't know about his sh but definitely suspects him having depression

- Kaidou gets pretty jealous when Aren gets interested in other people because he fears Aren will drop him. This is also one of many reasons why he hates Saiko, he feels Aren is giving him more attention

- Aren saw Kaidou's scars but believe Kaidou when he said "These are battle scars". Cuz yk, Aren has those too. So Kaidou feels safe taking his bandages off around him. (Kaidou isn't ready to tell him about his sh yet but trusts Aren to wait till he's comfortable)

- He begged Aren to draw stars on each other's scars. Then cried after seeing cool stars Aren drew (since Aren is an artist)

- Nendo saw Kaidou's stars once as an accident but he is dumb so he just didn't notice he even had them.

- Saiki erases memory of anyone who figured out that Kaidou does sh to keep it a secret

- Chiaki doesn't know and would definitely do the "OMG PLEASE STOP KAIDOU-KUN!" thing. She means well but she just doesn't have any training in that area.

- Kaidou has a very dramatic sense of style (canon) so he usually resorts to copying outfits from the internet when he tries to wear some fashionable stuff

- He really likes ribbons. Like, he thinks he's too manly to like them but he does like them 100%

- Aiura figured out everything about him by his aura but is keeping her mouth shut. Kaidou appreciates it.

- Well except when she knows something is going on. Then she uses her powers to comfort Shun about the future. Even when she's lying through her teeth.

OC interaction tag

TY for the rag @illarian-rambling

Illarian’s OC: Astra DuClaire is a 25 year old human with vertigo and a trademark ribbon cloak she wears everywhere. She has grown up on a debtor’s farm and has worked her ass off to learn magic to support her family, even if she wasn’t allowed to get a university education on account of her low birth. This has given her a bit of a chip on her shoulder. From the outside, Astra is supremely confident, bordering on arrogance. This is a cover for a deep well of insecurity. Astra loves magic, but she’s been told so many times that a debtor’s daughter like her will never be a true mage that she’s internalized that attitude, believing at her core that all her prized skills are flawed. Other than that, she’s mouthy, with a crude sense of humor and a deep desire to help people even if they’re total strangers. Like most mages, her curiosity brings her to places most would never go. She also tends to act before thinking things through, probably on account of her adhd. This can result in her saying things she didn’t mean or even cause violence she didn’t intend. Her hobbies include magic (duh), mechanics, and embroidery. Astra loves to sew, and often incorporates runes into her designs. She is demisexual, but who needs a relationship when there’s adventure to be had and massive amounts of emotional obliviousness to cloud your perception!

My OC: (Updated profile) Opal has served as Thá (village chief) for most of her fifty year life. Her early life was spent on a farm, but her dreams and ambitions led her to travel to Fernstan village at a young age. Being perceived as someone from the ‘backwaters’ meant that she had to endure the skepticisms and ridicule of many naysayers. Determined to prove the doubters wrong, she proved her skills as a leader who could bring the foxes of the village together. As someone who knows firsthand how inequality affects so many, she has worked hard to insure that everyone starts off on equal footing. Strong willed, she can be impassioned and stubborn at times, and other times, quite detached. In between the two ends is someone who is understanding, good natured, and has quite a sense of humor.

How they’d interact: I can see both getting along quite well. As both have had a rough time proving to everyone, and themselves, that they are more than just riffraff. There definitely will be bonding over similar experiences and the shared urge to help others, and Opal, being the older of the two, would have some words of wisdom to share. I’m sure after a while, Astra would get over her insecurities and open up. Of course, her loose mouth and rash actions may make things difficult at first, but it isn’t a deal breaker.

[katkit-drops-alt]

So a few days ago I made a blank scripts OC named Mell, and ever since I made her I’ve been just thinking more little tidbits of more for her, so here’s a silly little doodle page I made ^^

(GO SUPPORT THE CREATOR OF BLANK SCRIPTS AU: @blackkatdraws !!! THEY’RE AMAZING!!)

(lore + close ups and ver w/o effects below!)

Lore:

- Mell is a NPC who often lurks in the shadows of the dungeon watching and observing everything and everyone

- She is incredibly shy and introverted towards others, often avoiding the ‘janitors’ and any unlikely visitors

- She has a boyfriend :0 his name is Zephyr, and he is another NPC! He’s just a silly farm boy who gets into trouble a bunch and hurts himself on accident a lot. He’s very affectionate and clingy, which Mell doesn’t mind at all ^^

- ^ she’s pan!!

- Mell likes the guard dogs of the dungeon, often getting sorta bitter when others find them ‘disgusting’ (she thinks they’re pretty cool)

- Fun Fact: her apron is WAY too big for her, which is why the ribbon is tied around her waist two times

- She’s has a restrictive eating disorder! She can only eat meat (meal-wise; desserts and candies are fine for her)

- If she actually existed IRL, she probably would be rlly into fundamental paper education (which I kinda based off the background on!)

- She absolutely HATES when there’s too much light in one room. It just gives her so many sensory issues to where she will cry if she can’t get out of a bright room

- Autism rep? Autism rep.

- Mell likes to infodump to her small group of friends, and will absolutely try to impress someone with her knowledge if she finds them rlly cool

- Another fun fact: she likes playing with her bones and feeling the texture on them, and even sometimes lets Zephyr to touch them if they’re just walking around doing nothing

If you want to know anything else about Mell and/or Zephyr, just let me know :D I like infodumping abt my silly ocs and would be more than happy to share them w/ you

Clara Montoya: Autistic???

I've been getting back into AG for almost a year now. Josefina has always, always been my fave, since we were both nine years old.

I've been thinking about how I want her to have a counterpart in her time and location to actually interact with in period-appropriate ways. She never received a Best Friend doll, though :(

But really, her whole story is centered around her family anyway, and I've seen people talk about how 2005 GOTY Marisol Luna has been used to create Clara dolls. And yep, the resemblance is real.

So I have plans to get a Marisol and make her Clara. Although they may take a some months to come to fruition, considering all my other doll and fandom and plushie collection goals and IRL expenses 😔

But it's free to think about Clara's character and plan for what I want her collection to encompas.

The thing that strikes me most, looking at her now with the adult knowledge of being autistic myself- she REALLY seems like a character that one can headcanon as autistic with ease.

She's logical and practical and literal to a fault. She hates change and getting dirty and wants to keep everything organized. Sewing and embroidery are her special interests! She bonds with Tía Dolores through those interests! She clashes hard with Francisca, who just does not want to make the effort to understand her.

She has strong attachment to objects, to the extent that it becomes a huge part of the plot in "Josefina's Surprise." (The altar cloth, Niña.)

Niña is her comfort object, for fuck's sake!!!!! She manages to relinquish primary custody of Niña to Josefina, but ONLY after Tía Dolores managed to give her a new comfort object (Mamá's silver thimble.)

I mean, I think I need to closely reread all Josefina's series and acquire all short stories and the mysteries. What else is going on with dear Clara and her autism? Does she have sensory issues???

It goes without saying that Clara was never deliberately written as autistic, and of course in 1824 New Mexico, a word didn't exist for autism. But we autistics have always existed.

In terms of a potential collection- obviously Josefina's nightgown straight-up seems to be Clara's camisa and IDK how to feel about that. How can Josefina not have her nightgown??? 😭

One potential solution I've been thinking about is a similar nightgown for her but with a different neck ribbon. I can't sew, but it seems Etsy seller Magnoliawillows makes a similar nightgown with a blue ribbon which could be Josefina's new nightgown.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/1325115163/josefina-montoya-style-night-shift

Also, I know her BeForever nightgown exists too. But I'm not as emotionally bonded to it, since it came after "my time" lmao. Maybe it would be nice if Clara and Josefina had summer and winter nightgowns 🤔

And I could get Josefina's BeForever bed for Clara! That's another reason why I want a Clara- to have a way to use more of Josefina's collection as I acquire it, especially the BeForever items.

And if AG could just get off their asses and GIVE JOSEFINA LITERALLY ANY COLLECTION AT ALL AGAIN, it would be great to buy whatever is (re-)released new and use it mostly for Clara, because that way I could have the beloved Pleasant Company versions of my memory yet also support Josefina's collection today.

Meet Accessories/Outfit ideas- Josefina's PC red-ribbon nightgown as camisa, different rebozo, moccasins, extra pair of Josefina bloomers, indigo skirt (although it would be interesting to try and see if someone sells/would make a skirt closer to book illustrations... however, 1820s New Mexican sisters, even in a well-to-do family like Josefina's, definitely shared clothes. So it would make sense from that perspective).

She'd need a doll-size pair of scissors, which Tía Dolores gave her, of course. And I'd want her to have some kind of necklace, because all AG historicals did/do. I'd need to know more about necklaces from then, though... perhaps some kind of mílagro, or Saint Clara symbol/medal? I'd want her to have a little sewing & embroidery kit to hang on her belt, too.

One thing that would take a lot more work, yet would make an amazing story, would be to somehow find another little doll's-doll like Niña. I have a whole story idea where some kind of secret room somehow gets found (maybe at Abuelito and Abuelita's house in Santa Fe) and a long-forgotten doll from Mamá and Tía Dolores' childhood gets given to Clara 🥺

Another idea would be to assemble stuff to create a little shrine for Clara and Josefina to pray at (yes I got the idea from the Mini World image). Especially because it would have Mamá's colcha-embroidered altar cloth! And just in general, part of why I connected with Josefina so much growing up was that her family is Catholic, just like mine.

These days, obviously, I'm a grown up monbinary gay ex-TradCath (similar to ExVangelical) with religious trauma, but maybe making a doll Catholic shrine would be a way to deal with that in a more healthy manner...

Anyway I would love to talk about Clara and Josefina!!!! Josefina-lovers please interact!!!!

[ask-the-four-lords]

Dear Lady Dimitrescu,

While I am no noble, I’m certainly not a manthing, so here’s a list of reasons why I would be a perfect candidate to be Daniela’s spouse. (HUY SPOUSE??? exag na)

Though before I get into that, how was your day? Was it pleasant? Did something inconvenient happen? If so, please tell me about it before thinking about slicing me to ribbons..

So, anyways, I will be giving my reason then explaining, so if you’ll give me a moment of your time, that would be splendid.

Reason 1: The usual ‘I’m kind, empathetic, caring, etc.’ spiel. I have evidence to back this up because I’m the therapist friend TM (charot). I don’t have receipts but my friends can vouch for me, I swear. I’m open-minded and not easily disgusted by things, so I have no problem with being around death and all that.

Reason 2: My music taste. It doesn’t really count BUT it should, because who would want to be with someone who only listens to rap or drill? I have a diverse music taste, including: jazz, classical, broadway/west end, pop, and rock. It doesn’t say much, but it basically does. Music taste is a large part of someone’s personality, and music is a thing people use to express themselves, hence the whole thing.

Reason 3: I’m educated. Thankfully, I am, and although many are, I’m also educated in pretty niche topics, so yippee!! I can’t exactly delve deep into it as it’s a bit complicated so I’ll leave it at that.

Reason 4: My hobbies! I love reading, so I’m sure it would be a good match with Daniela. I can also write, albeit not that well to an extent, but I can be poetic when I am. I love performing, especially acting. It’s like an escape for me, and I’m good at it too, thankfully. I also love learning about niche topics, and it’s something I’d love to share with someone. I love photography, and taking pictures whenever I see something beautiful. No doubt my SD card would be filled with photos of Daniela. (it’s giving.. autism? jk) But if she’s willing to listen, I could go on and on about certain topics.

Reason 5, hopefully the last reason, though I can still give more: My personality. It goes without a saying that personality plays a big role in spouses and their compatibility, and I (firmly) believe my personality is fit for Daniela. Although I can also be quite energetic at times, I can mostly keep calm and a level head. As I said before, I’m not easily disgusted and I don’t have a weak stomach, so I can handle all the blood and the killings n stuff. I can be silly at times, and serious at some. It’s a perfect match, I swear. I’m not judgmental, and I’m extra lesbian so yea..

All in all, I’m not quite sure if you can make your mind with these. I desperately hope you won’t slice me to ribbons for even suggesting the idea, but please try to keep an open mind. As always, have a good day.

— K.D.

Oooh, I like this one far better so far. Some actual manners, *cough cough* Odysseus. Still, it's almost improbable I will give up Daniela to anyone, I will listen to this one. Well, my day was perfectly acceptable, this is also an acceptable stalling tactic as in the event I decide to "slice you into ribbons" there will be no running. Although something rather inconvenient did happen, that tragic un-babysat toddler Heisenberg tried to get Moreau to decide if my wine or his repellant moonshine whiskey was better. That blathering freak chose his whiskey, then again that does confirm how repulsive and classless he is...

To your first reason: Yes, yes, blah blah, I've heard it all before. Especially from that clown who couldn't even get national clown college certification although it's probably best you can handle the viscera.

To your second reason: Good, as you may know I was a jazz performer. I'm in support of jazz and classical as genres so good for you. And yes, the ribbon treatment would be inevitable in the event you did say drill or rap.

To your third reason: *sighs* it's something, at least you're not entirely a peasant.

To your fourth reason: And on and on you have went although you still seem a better candidate for my darling Daniela as of yet but she still most likely won't be married for another century, I imagine. Still, House Dimitrescu will only accept those with true talent, so on the off-chance you have that than that will assist your chances.

To your fifth reason: Well... I don't even know how to respond to that. Daniela will decide that in the event you get as far as meeting her.

In conclusion, you are the best candidate so far but it's still more or less improbable you'll receive my sweet, lovely Daniela's hand. And I will keep an open mind, although if you test me, even slightly, you'll find your mind far-far too open, my claws do have a habit of "opening minds."

i wanna cross my interests over so bad and its driving me whacky bonky. So What do you think Michael's favourite pokemon would be? (And James's too why not?) :3

Omg that’s such a fun question!!! I LOOOOOOVE Pokèmon too so I couldn’t come up with just one Pokèmon, so I made them both full teams 🤭🤭🤭

So for Michael, I went with the theme of Pokèmon that could function as emotional support. I ended up choosing:

- Alolan Vulpix: I wanted to have one of his mons represent the emotional support dog that he receives from James later on in the fixit storyline. No fire types for obvious reasons, and ice type fits well with the puppy’s name Peppermint, so that would be my doggo pick! (I know Vulpix is technically a fox but they’re just so cuuuuute!! Also a lot of the other dog mons looked too aggressive for Michael imo)

- Espeon: I wanted to give both of them an Eeveelution, plus there are dex entries talking about it being protective of its trainer which Michael could definitely use: ‘Espeon is extremely loyal to any Trainer it considers to be worthy. It is said that this Pokémon developed its precognitive powers to protect its Trainer from harm.’ (ORAS dex). Plus, Michael is a kind enough soul to manage to evolve his pokemon through friendship.

- Swoobat: another friendship evo, and a bringer of positive vibes according to its White dex entry! ‘Anyone who comes into contact with the ultrasonic waves emitted by a courting male experiences a positive mood shift.’ Plus, look at the little fuzzy guy it’s so cute and perfect to cuddle with!

- Espurr: this was one of the first ones that came to mind, and ngl, it’s mostly because Espurr does the Autism Stare™️. 🤣 To be fair though, I feel like Michael would have a fondness for Psychic-types since they could help regulate his vulnerable mind and since Espurr has to constantly keep its psychic powers under control I feel like Michael would take one under his wing so he can take extra good care of them, since he understands what it’s like to struggle with one’s mind ☺️

- Komala: this was my first thought actually! Idk, its rocking back and forth kinda looks like stimming and I feel like its calm sleeping nature would be comforting for our boy.

- And lastly, Stufful! Stufful is meant to represent a stuffie and I thought it’d be a perfect fit for Michael given it could represent a mental support plushie. 😊

(I didn’t give Michael a classic starter because I don’t think he would have ever had ambitions to use his Pokèmon for battle so he wouldn’t have started his Pokèmon team in the ‘traditional’ sense.)

For James, I also went with emotional support Pokèmon but more in the way of supporting others as opposed to himself, and marine Pokèmon (part of his backstory that I hope to reveal soon). So I ended up choosing:

- Cubone: idk, I thought it’d be cute if James discovered a sad Cubone near his work and seeing that its mother recently died he took it home to temporarily nurse it back to health but it decided to stay instead. I think it perfectly fits with James’ caring nature 🥰

- Ralts: it has multiple dex entries talking about how it can sense other’s emotions, and I thought that that could be very useful for James given his job as a psychiatrist.

- Buizel: it is an expert diver and the sacks near its neck represent a life jacket, which would make it a perfect partner Pokèmon for James before he became a psychiatrist. Can’t reveal too much about that yet though 😇🫢

- Sylveon: it has multiple dex entries talking about its ribbons resonating a soothing aura, which would work perfectly as a mental support Pokèmon for James’ patients! Plus, it evolves from affection which illustrates James’ kind nature and it is also regarded as a more ‘feminine’ Pokèmon, which correlates well with James having a more sensitive nature than is expected of him (to the grievances of his father).

- Comfey: I wanted to pick a healer Pokèmon that wasn’t the traditional Chansey or Audino, so I decided upon Comfey! It’s cute, it heals, and it picks pretty flowers, which I thought fit perfectly

- And the last one: Sobble! For the same reasons as with Buizel, it would make sense for James to have a Water-type starter Pokèmon. Now, I personally have a bit of a bias towards Sobble (I love it so much it’s so cute) but I also think its timid nature would work well with James’ caring one. I like to imagine that in this Pokèmon!AU, James’ Sobble was one of the first things that made him realise that he wanted to care for others as a living 💖

Same with Michael, I don’t think James uses his team for battle, but he does have a starter Pokèmon because I think his family would have pushed him to do battles but James eventually decided against it.

So yeah, those are my thoughts! If you have any thoughts on other mons that’d fit the boys, please do me know I’d love to talk about it! 😊

My Leadership class is creating a sensory room at a local community center. We're transforming an unused basement room to a safe and comfortable place where kids can come to chill out and self-regulate. This is important not only for those with special sensory needs (ADHD, autism, etc), but anyone struggling to deal with stress in their life. Mental Health Matters!

Please consider supporting this project! We are collecting donations here: www.bit.ly/4fhPv5J .

Pictures below are what we've set up so far, and we're aiming to be complete for a ribbon-cutting on December 13th. Here's a local news article: https://www.wpganews.com/2024/11/09/booker-t-washington-community-center-celebrates-45th-year-opens-new-sensory-room/

Currently drawing JBM but it's taking the piss because I've decided to do an actual background for once so in the meantime here's a list of things I've included in his design and the thoughts/intentions behind them:

Hearing aids on both ears- he's partially deaf in his left ear (something he developed in his childhood) and he ruptured his right eardrum causing permanent damage which caused hearing loss

PUNK SYMBOLS!! Purple & Yellow laces- to show he supports/is a part of the LGBTQ+ and is Anti-Racist. Safety Pins to show that he's a safe person to approach. Blue ribbon - symbol for Child abuse awareness. Anarchy symbols + Anti-IRIS symbol, BLM fist symbol and "Eat the rich + Feed the poor" patches. Pins with his pride flags (transgender+ MLM flags) and an ASD rainbow infinity symbol pin (I have yet to draw him with one but he also wears an Anti-Autism Speaks patch)

Choppily done mullet with green hair dye- it's meant to look like he's done it himself, he has both sides shaved and has kept the middle grown out. The story behind it is that he was never allowed to cut his hair short as a kid but shaved all of it off when he joined IRIS- he combines the two into a mullet now to show his defiance of both (which is why he also dyes it- something neither would allow him to do before).

He has a visually bent nose and missing front tooth- these are both from separate fights (he does have another missing tooth but you can't see it like you can with his front teeth) the missing front tooth happened after he got into a fight with some older kids while he was in highschool- his nose got bent during one of his early missions with IRIS. This is on top of the amount of other scars he has from various other fights, experimentations and other shit from over the years

He has a few spider themed tattoos(he's a Spider-Man kinnie), as well as an Earth Kingdom (From Avatar the Last Airbender) BRO WOULD BE AN EARTHBENDER FIGHT ME ON THIS‼️‼️

His eyes are an unnatural blue colour- due to the side effects of IRIS' experimentation- his actual eye colour is Hazel/Grey. They glow in the dark- (while Marvin's does in relation to them being cat like-) Jackie's act more similar to electrical glowing

Jackie is British-Irish here (why he's wearing a British patch) he was born and raised in the North-West of England (most likely in Liverpool as Liverpool has 79% of it's citizens be of Irish descent) his mothers side are all from Ireland and his father's side are British (You can imagine the absolute chaos that was the result from this). And yes Chase does remind him of him that he's EXTREMELY British every ten seconds (Chase has immediate beef with him and it's so entertaining to watch)

Jackie knows a few different languages- English, BSL and a small amount of Gaelic, but he also knows some German from Henrik too.

Jackie is the youngest out of all the egos but they all thought he was older because of the fact that he easily has the most muscular/strong body frame and they initially thought he was taller (thank god for platform boots)

Anyway that's all from me for now!!

Autistic April Day 11: Comfort items

I have few items that I would consider to be my comfort items and they are Pellet, my furbys and fidget toys.

Pellet is a toy hamster that I got around 2003. I had guinea pigs around that time and saw Pellet and the shop and thought she was a guinea pig. I remember when I was a child that I used to stim by putting my fingers between Pellets toes and the rest of her hand. Now a days I enjoy rubbing Pellet on my lips as a stim as I find her comforting. A few years ago I decided to leave Pellet at home when I went on a holiday and I missed the feeling of her fur while I was away.

My furbys are comforting to me as they are my little friends that don't judge me and accept me for who I am  they are very cute and have soft fur. I like to take a furby out with me when I leave the house.

I like to have a fidget toy with me while I am at work because when I help out with activities with the residents at the nursing home I like to sometimes have something to do with my hands I find it very soothing and helps me to focus on the activity.

Image Descriptions:

1: Pellet is a light brown and white old toy hamster beanie baby. There is black text next to her that says "Pellet"

2: Pepper is a 2012 furby who is fully black except for his beak with is an orangy yellow with a red tongue. His eyes are painted white with a small brown pupil on each eye. On his head is a grey lid with a p on top. He has a white shirt going around his body with pepper stitched into it with black thread. Pepper is wearing a medal on his shirt that is made from a bottle lid and aluminium foil and a silver ribbon. There is black text above Pepper that says "Pepper got a medal for helping me when I had a meltdown at a train station."

3: There are a list of prompts for each day of the month for Autistic April. The top and bottom of the image is light purple and the middle part of the image is white with black text on it. The black text says "Autistic April 2024 Prompts: 1: Special interests 2: How you found out you were Autistic 3: your favourite stim 4: alternative forms of communication 5: your favourite fidget toys 6: textures you hate 7: safe foods 8: other disabilities you have 9: LBGTQI+ 10: childhood special interests11: comfort items 12: your favourite Autistic celebrities or characters13: unmasking 14: sensory aids 15: misdiagnosis 16: Autism friendly places 17: Disability support you have received 18: animals 19: favourite thing about being Autistic 20: echolalia 21: idenity first or Person first language 22: the spoon theory

I can't sleep and sims 2 is one of my main hyperfixations so here are my Headcannons!!

Brandi had Dustin as a teen, she could've managed to graduate high school if she wasn't helping skip take care of his dying parents

Lilith has undiagnosed autism, I can go so into depth with this and how it effects the family dynamics but that will be for a later post

Juliet is very much a lana del rey stan, her aesthetic is Pinterest coquette, she also loves uggs, she has so many and has customised some with pink ribbons

Olive was infatuated with death since a young age, she first saw the grim reaper when a friend passed away when she was a teen and ever since she's been infatuated with them, to the point where she'd kill sims to see death, atleast for a few moments and during one of those moments, she ended up with Nervous, he didn't have a name, she wasn't ready to be a mother, she never thought she could get pregnant by literal death in the first place, she was about to put him in the foster system until a daughter of a family friend, Circe Beaker, offered Olive a large sum of money to adopt, who is now known as Nervous Subject

Chloe and Lola are both queer, Lola is a lesbian and Chloe is bi with a feminine lean

PT9 is the supportive dad at pride that gives out free hugs and supplies, he is more understanding then some humans as being LGBTQ+ was very common on his planet.

Angela is only dating Dustin to silently rebel against her parents, the main reason is unknown but Lilith thinks it's because they were spending all their time punishing her and not enough attention on Angela, or that they bought her a hot pink convertable when she wanted pastel pink

Dina actually wants childeren, but only one and would prefer a girl, she would be the mom to buy her toddler designer clothes and shoes even though they wouldn't fit or get tarnished in a few months but would keep them in the attic for memories, even if she lost all her money, she would never sell them

Tank is the definition of internalised Homophobia, I don't think he'd fully realise until way later in life
