The image captures the miraculous moment when the rays of sun hit a rare cloud called a pile cloud, and the angle and other subtle conditions are reflected in a divine rainbow color. (Source)

Expect it around the earlier half of June.

Happy autism awareness month to every autistic who:
Wants a cure for autism
Likes severity labels
Likes the term special needs
Likes the puzzle piece
Likes the light it up blue movement
Likes autism speaks
Likes ABA therapy
Likes to use functioning labels on themselves
Likes the levels
Likes support needs labels
Likes "autism moms"
Sees autism as a negative thing
Likes person first language
Doesn't care about any of this
And anyone else who has an opinion that differs from what "most autistic" (online LSN community) people think. I see your opinion.
I might not agree with some opinions but that doesn't mean you dont get to have your own opinion.You exist and your experience being autistic is valid and fuck anyone who thinks all autistic people think the same.
#autism#fair enough i guess#make sure you arent harming another human#im indifferent on the levels thing#i think they're a good way to generalize what somebody might be like before you meet them?#like if youre a teacher or new caretaker#being told “oh theyre level 2 or whatever” would be a good point to start OFF from#as long as you remember its a spectrum and shits bound to vary#i used to do some of this stuff back when i first learned i was autistic#and some of these things are lowkey harmless so hell yeah#its YOUR autism#remember that

Seeing all these character profiles is giving me so much excitement for what's to come. I can't wait to see what's to come~ ^^ (Thanks for an awesome story so far, even before it's first (non-prologue) chapter's come out~)
Aww! Thank you! They've been fun for me, too :]

10 Fun Facts: Levi Trainor-Fang 🩸
LEVI TRAINOR-FANG:
Being the elder twin makes Levi the official middle child (#6 out of 12) of class 7-C. She and her brother were born on July 17th.
Levi claims to be Matthew's best friend; which we know isn't true because they both CLEARLY prefer to spend time with other people (Amelia & Aza for Levi; Andrea for Matthew.) So where did this come from? Simple: the first time Andrea moved out due to a foster placement, Levi noticed a lonely Matthew and just kind of... asserted herself in her place. Matthew didn't ask questions and has rolled with it (+ the mistreatment that's come with it) ever since.
To be fair, they do have quite a bit in common. They're both big fans of Halloween and theatrics; but while Matthew sticks to the fun stuff, Levi likes it for the scare factor. She watches all sorts of edgy and scary videos online now (many of which Matthew would never dare!) & moderates a creepypasta wiki in her free time.
Up until 2nd grade, Levi was literally the only girl in the room. Nowadays, she complains that there's only "3" of them, refusing to acknowledge Andrea as the fourth.
She's also the only one who describes the Special Ed experience as "boring." She does the work well and especially seems underwhelmed by her social options. Which leads to her stirring the pot in the name of entertainment.
Being a scene kid, she knows her way around a makeup kit; a skill she often uses to get herself (or sometimes, even others) out of school! Among other things, she's managed to fake many colds, Fifth's disease, and even pink eye. She's especially been using this now that they're being taught by Mrs. Hively...
She LOVES a specific brand's cherry-flavored gum. She's lowkey chewing it more often than not.
Speaking of food, Levi puts a lot of thought into her diet even though she's not athletic. She tends to fuss a bit over whether something is healthy or not, can be very fatphobic & frequently shames other people's food choices. It seems like this is something she learned from her mom, who leaves on a lot of questionable TV when she nods off.
Levi & Linus are Wasian to say the least, and have surprisingly mixed origins; so they actually celebrate both Hannukah and Christmas! It's more complicated now since their parents have split, but their dad is Jewish, and their mom... isn't really that religious? But grew up doing Christmas anyway. The parents decided pretty early on to let them grow up with both traditions; and to let them choose what they do/don't carry with them as they grow up.
Her exact reason for being in SpEd is a mystery; even for her. She's usually classified as a case of "Emotional Disturbance" and has done several forms of therapy both in and out of school, but doesn't fully grasp what exactly everyone's "problem with her" is. She just knows that she's always scared people. People who don't seem to know what they're doing. And as far as she's concerned, that can absolutely be a good thing.

10 Fun Facts: Aza Kanaan! 🎉
AZA KANAAN:
Aza is (clearly) super energetic and always on the go! She mainly uses her heelies now, but she also has a bike, scooter, and several pairs of actual rollerskates.
Aza has spent the newest addition to the SpEd classes at PS 361; she grew up in General Ed until 6th grade. On top of that, she's not even from Applewake. She lived in another state (Philsquake) until she moved that same year.
Despite this, Aza is now the most popular kid in the room & gets along with everybody EXCEPT Matthew; often acting as both the class clown and the leader of the group.
This schoolyear (7th grade) is Aza's first time wearing a Hijab! She's still learning how to do it, though, which means that it can sometimes look a little off in earlier chapters. She'll figure it out eventually, I promise. (I also promise that I DO know how to actually draw it; grew up in a Muslim town 😎)
Never doubt her when it comes to a dare. She licked a door once.
She also once shouted "I'M GONNA BE A STRIPPER!" in front of the principal. With way too much enthusiasm and pride. (Thankfully, she wasn't serious-)
Aza has actually been banned from the Trainor-Fang twins' house by their mom for being too hyper and rowdy. However, this hasn't stopped her from coming over... let alone Levi letting her in. She often sneaks in through the window with Levi's help.
Is she on ADHD meds? Yes. They work well for her, and she's actually doing pretty good in school thanks to that! But medication can only do so much to calm her personality. She was raised by party people, and it shows.
Like Amelia, she only has 1 sibling; an older brother.
Her birthday is June 2nd. That makes her the fifth eldest of the classroom; basically, the middle child.
