Hello. Congratulations on getting so many responses to your survey! Did you learn anything interesting? If so, do you plan on sharing the information with us?

Hello !!! I am going through the responses, slow for now as I had some assessments for my course to finish but honestly it's opened up more curiosity for further questions than solid answers so far, though I haven't gotten to the part where I finish weighing the answers for this survey yet so I may find more patterns as I go!!

Yes I'm happy to publish anything I find, I feel this is likely to get people engaged in the follow up survey and also I don't believe in gatekeeping research!

For now I need to go through the answers, sorry it's been taking longer than people may have expected! I am studying irl and course work can get crazy before the summer holidays.

thank you so much everyone!! I will be closing this survey now to be able to go through the 365 (!!!!!!!!) responses so far!! I will also be working on the follow up survey/s and I will post them here super soon.

Thank you if you took part, interacted or shared! You've been so helpful!

Hello!! I'm Kei, I'm studying to become a nurse in the coming years with a focus on neurodisability.

I have been working on doing an independent research project for a while, looking at some core areas of life and how they compare between autistic and non-autistic people.

For this part of my work, I've put together a small questionnaire anyone is welcome to take part in, whether you're autistic, not autistic, diagnosed or not, all are welcome and valued for research!

Emails are not collected and personal identifiable data is not either, results will be handled solely by myself and used for research purposes.

If you'd like to take part, please use this Forms link and submit just 1 response. For this project respondents need to be 16+, thank you!

If you know other people that may want to take part feel free to send them a link to the questionnaire too!

i gotta ramble about Morston for a second. so i played rdr2 a little after it released and didn't interact at all with any fandom content until recently. but i just knew Morston was THE SHIP™ for not only Arthur and John, but RDR2 as a whole.

the whiplash i got when it turned out that Morston is not in fact the most popular ship, but the ship that's kinda "normal" to shit on?

like i thought the two that have known each other for ~15 years, the two that bicker like an old married couple at every chance, the two who share the same trauma of orphaned street kid groomed into killers by a cult leader, the two that stand together when everything falls apart, who in a final act of love one gives their life so the other can escape, would be THE ship.

i'm sorry??? sacrificing your life in an attempt to buy a little time for the other is not the most romantic gesture?? and John going after Micah to avenge Arthur's death, years later bc apparently Arthur is a wound that still hasn't healed is not romantic as fuck??? despite having a wife, son, and ranch.

like is there any other reason besides "tHeY'rE liTeRaLlY bRoThErS" and a 10 year age gap in 1899?? i really thought R* made the perfect storm for a beautiful and tragic ship with them. :(

as soon as John is back on his feet, he's asking Arthur to do a job with him. he gives a cute little uwu when he's praised. Arthur throws in a jab and they both laugh it off. UGH.

when Cornwall's men have a knife to John, he doesn't flinch, he doesn't even blink. he looks at Arthur and fucking knows Arthur's going to save him. wholly trusting someone with your life like that is not romantic??

i love the missions when Arthur and Sadie are prepping to break John out of Sisika. Arthur gets in a goddamn balloon just to catch a glimpse of Johnny. yeah yeah it was to make sure he was there. but was it not an incredibly reckless/dangerous thing to do? fly a balloon over a penitentiary full of armed guards??

the way Arthur says "Quickly followed by Marston!" when Sadie was talking of Colm's hanging. oh my goddd he loves that boy

how softly Arthur says John when he finally sees him in his prison stripes.

the fact that John was the reason Arthur finally defied one of Dutch's orders. the "I felt different". he didn't even let Dutch finish scolding him before cutting him off. and he felt different. idk he could have said thought instead of felt. but there was no thinking with it. he knew he had to go get John.

i don't get it!! how are they not THE SHIP™??

anyway. if u made it this far, i'm so sorry u read all that lmao what made u ship Morston tho?? for me it was when Arthur threw John over his shoulder like he was a sack of potatoes u//w//u i knew it was over for me. then that damn sheep herding mission. sunshine. fucking kill me.

very relatable, honestly.

Let it be known that if Simon "Ghost that is not nice" Riley is the voice of reason we're all in big trouble

Before/after

[sleepybirdiee]

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!

primary protectors casually reminding folks that they do not play

i wish more of you would understand that alter roles are just common archetypes of ways that alters can present, and not definitive boxes that all of your parts MUST fit into. not every system comes with a set host, persecutor, protector, gatekeeper, etc. and the roles of host, persecutor, protector, gatekeeper, etc. (ie how they operate within your system and what they do) will look different for every system, too.

and, you don't have to know every alter's role. you don't have to immediately understand the exact intricacies over why all of your parts exist and what they're doing to be valid. trying to force your parts to fit into boxes of how they should be instead of trying to understand them as they are does way more harm than good. just saying.

hate to say it but with this new wave of spam bots scamming as people from gaza let me be really clear, it's all scams. All the people in your inbox and @ you and commenting on your posts, it's a scam. They use almost the same script and link back to the same "vetting" blog with no credentials and try to use guilt as a tactic. Block and report, don't let your sympathy get you scammed.

[sleepybirdiee]

I just checked the #palestine tag sorted by latest post and...

No exaggeration over 9/10 posts are either gofundme scammers posting their scripts or propalestinians blogging the asks of said scammers and saying "I gotchu fam".

I knew the scambots were a problem but I didn't realize it was THAT prolific.

If i were a propal activist I would be pissed about this drowning out actual content on the topic. I'm not a propal activist and I'm still pissed off. Palestinians deserve better than to have their tumblr tag taken over by scambots trying to take advantage of the sensitivities of propal leftists on this website to make a quick buck...and it seems to be working, too.

If I didn't have a sense of ethics to live by I'd put serious thought into joining in. Seems real easy to separate these people from their money. Just as susceptible to grifters as the boomer MAGA crowd and this makes me sad ngl.
