[mewkwota]

are you called mewkwota because you have a mewing quota

It may come as a surprise but I have been in this world longer than The Mewing Phenomena (so that would be a no). ^^;

The funny thing is the username I have wasn't originally intended as "Mew", but I adjusted the capitalization because the big M and K made it look nicer.

@textbook-dinner I just so happened to check my notifs and yeah the link is deleted 😭 I only tagged this post as "arigatou sayonara," so the song might have been "Sayonara, Arigatou" by Toraboruta-P? The only video I could find has no dialogue though, only singing. UTAU fans are truly left with crumbs...

To make up for it, here are my Vocaloid/UTAU playlists on youtube

Playlist 1 (mostly Vocaloid, from my baby weeb days)

Playlist 2 (contains more UTAU)

the narration in the beginning of this video sounds like a “real” talking voice for ritsu and it’s so cute i want to yell

In my heart, I'm on siesta time - I'd love to take a nap in the middle of the day and eat dinner at like 9 or 10 at night

But I'm also becoming an old person because if I eat dinner too late it hurts my tummy or gives me nightmares lol

when you have a squish on someone and you want to let them know you like them more than a usual friend and hang out with them and do all sorts of nice stuff with them but at the same time you don't want to seem like you have a crush and scare them off

REAL (good luck with your squish) (you'll figure it out soon, I promise!)

how does your monocle stay on

Greetings,

My monocle is quite literally attached to me. Yes, it is in fact a part of my body! Sometimes I have monoclegraines, which are like migraines except this is when my monocle hurts.

admittedly, as someone whose neurodivergent (ND), i get when my fellow ND folks get frustrated with social interactions with neurotypical (NT) folks. because it can be very frustrating! but i think there is a wild misunderstanding there because: NT folks also have [social] scripts.

i think there are also a few other factors that like, are adding to this like misunderstanding/weird navigation around social situations? i'm by no means an expert, and ofc everyone is going to have different experiences. one big one, i think esp when ND folks are trying to talk about these things with NT folks: i don't think the average NT person is not going to be calling or thinking about it in those terms ('scripts' etc). i think a lot of this is a "language" barrier in a way, or rather lack of vocabulary... but also, a misunderstanding because these are skills...

i think ND folks also are under the impression that these are things that come naturally to those who are NT... but its a skill just like anything else. NT folks don't come out of the womb and matrix-style just have every social skill hard-booted into their head... it's learned skills. often, save for like when you're a smaller child, it's just more subtle lessons in it -- which is probably where a lot of folks falter in learning these skills? we're told to do the same things, but not always told why besides vague lines like 'well, it's just polite' but we're not well taught on why politeness and manners matter besides 'they just do'.

which, for a lot of ND folks, is very frustrating because we often just don't want to participate in stuff we might see as frivolous. but thats the thing: it's not frivolous. it's just that no one has been able to explain why it's not in a way that a lot of ND folks understand. its a lack of vocabulary and like teaching methods to explain these like big society-spanning concepts.

it's also, as this post points out, largely a social construct and etiquette thing. which also means that whats acceptable is going to change from situation to situation (ex: casual get together vs formal work event), group to group (ex: family vs friends), community to community (ex: different cities, different religious groups), and so on just moving bigger and bigger, mix and match. these rituals of social scripting, etiquette, and so on are things that are in each group no matter the scale are carefully crafted over time to find what works and everyone can agree on. are they always fun and enjoyable? i mean not necessarily, but they're made to avoid worse feelings than just being bored.

but at the end of the day, a ND person's social script is just going the same thing for the same purposes as these "old school" social skills and rituals: it's a way to navigate different social situations.

I feel like in the rush of “throw out etiquette who cares what fork you use or who gets introduced first” we actually lost a lot of social scripts that the younger generations are floundering without.
