I don’t remember who made it but I just remembered a piece of fanart for The Little Mermaid 2023 that was Eric yapping to Ariel about pokemon and I’m sorry but autistic Ariel and Eric just makes SO MUCH SENSE.

Like imagine Autistic Eric whose special interest is history and collecting cool shit he finds on explorations and he loves yapping about it to anyone who will listen (which is most, who’s gonna tell the prince to shut up?)

Then imagine Autistic Ariel with selective mutism and issues with social cues and ALSO a special interest in human shit. Like you cannot tell me her collecting forks isn’t the same as me picking up cool rocks.

Autistic Ariel and Eric my beloveds.

I was doing research about being trans in the 1920s in America and ended up down a rabbit hole researching Christine Jorgensen and found a video of her singing. I looked at the comments and some BOZO said something like “that’s not a trans woman that’s a female impersonator get it right” or some shit.

Bro if you did one second of research you’d know you were wrong. I dunno if you’re a transphobe or just dumb

Character in the book I’m reading: I’ve been lost in the woods for near fifty days. I have lost all hope of being rescued. Everyday I fight for my survival. All the supplies I’ve painstakingly gathered has been destroyed in a tornado. But I will persevere.

Me, casually lying on my couch eating chicken: damn that’s rough bro.

Cons of my specific adhd:

Self harm as stimming (chewing the inside of my lips, picking my cuticles)

Bad navigation

Executive dysfunction so bad I can’t even get hobbies done

Taking forever telling stories because they gotta know all the side tangents too right?

Anger when someone interrupts my hyperfixation

Pros:

I’m funny

Thank you but I am 100 percent certain that my ADHD has made me dumber

Rewatching Merlin with my friend and I think most of my comments have been “shut the hell up bro” to Arthur’s dumbassery

"you don't owe anyone anything" You are a tar pit. Speak for yourself. I personally owe the cafe employees my dishes put away and my friends a listening ear and small scared insects a cup and a gentle trip outside. Hyperindividualism is a rancid infection borne of capitalism and willfully misinterpreted therapyspeak and I will defy it by continuing to be kind regardless of whether or not it benefits me personally

My sims when they wake up at 1 am to take a bubble bath

I think my life would be a lot more enjoyable if I could experience the need to shower as a physical urge like being hungry or needing to pee. So instead of sitting here like "eugh I know that I probably should, but I don't want to get up, uuuuuugh", I could just get pressured by a compelling need to go in the shower that I can't ignore, and can't focus on anything until I've finally given in and taken the damn shower.

And just stepping in and turning the water on would be a blissful instant relief like ohh fuck yeah that's good, this is precisely what I needed.

Getting my friend into Hatchetfield is funny because they judge me when I talk about how Grace is my favorite character and remind me that she probably killed an innocent person. Who’s their favorite though? Fucking Max Jagerman.

You can teleport one (1) single individual live seagull into any time or place in history. Where would you choose to put it to best fuck with peoples' heads and cause as much confusion as possible?

I'd pick Tutankhamun's tomb, just behind the sealed door, 30 seconds before the seal is broken and the tomb is opened. Imagine throwing that into the curse myth - just as these people are about to crack open the greatest cold one in history, knowing that this is what they'll be known for from hereon, they open the door that must not be opened, and out scatters a frantic, deeply baffled bird, entirely healthy and intact, fluttering away never to be seen again, with no apparent way of how it got in.

The treasures of the wild (berries) have no price, but they do not come without cost. The forest accepts no money, I paid for these berries with a pint of my own blood (the mosquitoes fucking got me).

when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue

Roughly 6 months in and the US is already at the ‘full blown concentration camps’ stage.

I remember when people pretended to care about bees for a few years because they were an indicator species and now I’m getting replies to that post like “idc if all bugs die as long as we get rid of mosquitos and flies and cockroaches” YOURE GONNA FUCKING DIE!!!!!
