#and I’m pretty happy with that one lol

[hi-there-buddies]

If you follow me, you know that I’m a crossover au person, like, I LOVE THEM lmao. One I was thinking about recently was a Voltron x DC crossover.

Of course I had Keith as Batman, and I was originally gonna have Allura as Wonder Woman and Lance as Superman. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized the while Allura’s personality fit Diana’s, her actual backstory fit much better with Superman’s. This then, in turn, made me think of a crossover where LANCE is Wonder Woman, or well, Wonder Man, and Allura is Superman (Superwoman).

And now I’m obsessed with the idea of Lance as a stand in for Wonder Woman and how fun that would be to write. His backstory could be around the same as Diana’s, being the child of Hippolyta and Zeus, but instead of killing him or something adjacent, as Amazonians would do to their sons (in some of the DC stories), Queen Hippolyta decided to go against the rules and raise him, much to the chagrin of all the other Amazonians. This could then result in a myriad of problems that he would have to face. Or if you look at other DC stories that just say boys are never born of Amazonian mothers, then his backstory could be his mother was cursed by another God who was angry at Zeus to have a son, or whatever.

I just think it would be so fun to write about honestly. Might even draw something about it.

Started this sometime around late February and wanted to do more w/ it before posting (more expressions, started a walk cycle too) but I noticed it in my files and I’m impatient lol

I wanted to explore a sort of “classic d/sney” vibe with him, and eventually the others too, and this is my first attempt before doing actual studies. For Stretch I’m probably going to draw most from Milo Thatch and Roger Dearly 👍

Write the autitic c!dream essay🙏🙏

Why I think c!Dream is Autistic - Part 1

[context]

[Part 1] - [Part 2] - [Part 3]

Welp… I guess while on the topic of neurodivergence now is as good as time as any to do this. So, at long last…

Since every version of this essay ended up way too long I’m going to break it into 3 parts, and I'm going to make more generalized statements for the sake of brevity. So, if there are things about this or autism in general you would like more clarification on or know more about, my asks are always open (though I do ask that you please wait to flood my inbox until after you’ve read all parts). I would also like to add that for the same reason of length, I am not going to go in depth on all of the facets of autism and diagnosing it. I am not a psychologist, and this essay is not about defining autism and going into full depth about what it is, but about the specific aspects of Dream and the dsmp that I think point to autism, based on what I know and more importantly my experiences as an autistic person. Having said that, just so we are on the same page - Autism means that our brains are literally structured differently (also known as neurodivergent), which means we think differently and process the world differently, it does not make us inferior or broken or less than larger society (neurotypicals), it only means we are human beings who are wired differently.

Now, for part 1 I’m going to briefly go into the traits Dream has that I think point to autism, keeping in mind that this is not necessarily all inclusive, these are not necessarily autism exclusive, and some of these can be effected with masking and personal growth. 

Highly obsessive - in general and for specific interest, to the point of not taking care of oneself, like forgetting to sleep, eat, shower, or just not caring enough to do so. 

Strong willed, determined and dedicated - not going to give up easily, willing to stay up training or farming for long hours or put in the work especially for our obsession. Our priorities aren’t always productive, but we are not ones for laziness.

Isolated - outcast, odd ball out, set apart, on the outskirts, loner, alone even if surrounded by people.

Highly intelligent - smart, clever, big brained, skilled, knowledgeable to the point of ground breaking (ex: Einstein, Elon Musk, Michelangelo, Beethoven, Leonardo da Vinci…etc)

Trouble with emotions and feelings - from recognizing them, processing them, letting ourselves experience them, understanding them, leading us to often then lash out, explode, or have a meltdown.

All about the facts and truth - sometimes to an abrasive and candid point where it can become more important than how people feel or the main point.

Logical mindset - making decisions based on logic and strategy rather than on emotions to the point of struggling to understand others when they follow no such logic

“Black and White” thinking - right and wrong, good or bad, yes or no, on or off, love it or hate it, friend or foe. Everything is in extremes.

Rule follower, one to fight for justice and for others - we are stubborn and in our strong conviction we are out against injustice and misinformation, fairness and what is right and true is imperative. 

Unable to forgive and forget - hard to let things go. Often have good memories and are able to remember things with the same detail as if it were happening again and not years ago. It doesn’t really fade with time and that makes us easily hold grudges, and hold things and behavior against people.

Resistant to change -  doesn’t matter how big or small nor whether it’s good or bad, we are enemies of change. We like to understand so uncertainty and new things are often disagreeable.

Able to recognize patterns - able to see the full picture, see history repeating itself and people’s behavioral tendencies, which makes us good at scheming and masterminding. We hate change so we want to predict things to avoid being surprised. 

Trouble articulating our point - stuttering and stumbling over our words, because our brains are moving too fast for our mouth to keep up and it’s hard to explain ourselves because our brain works differently. (we’ll talk about this more in part 2)

Struggle with body language? - I mean it’s hard to say given the Minecraft format, but to me wearing a mask could be to avoid having to make eye contact (which I hate) and appropriate facial expressions and stuff like that, which are pretty important in diagnosis. So while some headcanon that Dream wears a mask because he's too expressive and doesn't like being exposed I actually think it might be the opposite and saves him a lot of effort and brain power to not have to worry about his facial expression. :)

Stimming - (yes an ADHD thing but also an autistic thing and it's very common for someone to be both - like me ;D) vocally and physically often when more stressed, again hard to say for a Minecraft man, but I see him constantly moving like pacing the cell or jumping around and stuff as stimming and he does vocally stim on occasion as well.

Or in other words - Reasons I think c!Dream is autistic:

C!Dream = me, me = autistic -> c!Dream = autistic… boom, shortest essay ever XD lol jk 

But seriously it is a major reason. I read a tumblr c!Dream character analysis (don't remember who's) back before I even joined tumblr and related soo much, which is pretty concerning when you relate to a villain - because like wait does that make me a psychopath? but I have empathy and I care and I'm out to hurt people so why would I relate so much? And that's when I realized I think it is because he’s autistic like me so we think a like... I mean seriously the similarities are scarily uncanny down to things that have happened to me in real life…

Anyways, thank you for reading. I hope I made sense and got the idea across even by not going into super detail on all the points.

Huh, turns out that arch-nemesis might be kind of trustworthy after all…

Who knew.

[literallyjusttoa]

I feel bad that I’ve kind’ve been jumping in and out with this blog recently, but! I have something new I set up that I hope y’all might like! And that is (drumroll please…..)

I set up commissions!!!!! If anybody wants a piece from me, all the instructions are in this google doc!

I will say right now I’m sadly only able to take USD😔😔. Sorry to all my international friends. I’ll be looking into ways to change that but it might take a while.

But, yeah! Commissions! Yay!

and since i’m kinda on the topic of kuukou’s origin, i’ve mentioned on here stage kuukou’s writing has always rubbed me the wrong way, but since i hated that about myself, i was trying to come around to liking him lol. tragically nelke rebooted the thing before i got to put it in practice, but i had been toying with the idea that the way stage kuukou is is bc that’s kuukou’s true origin

like stage kuukou was callous towards everyone really lol, others were too bogged down by their situations and didn’t have the means/strength to get out of it and he wanted nothing to do with it. it contradicts what he’s been shown to do in canon; unami refusing to acknowledge she needs help but he wanted to do help her anyway, coaxing out permission to save a hostess bc she was in trouble and he wanted to help. whereas stage kuukou saw haru wanting to help his family but wound up being scammed and didn’t want to help him at all, saying why should he help when haru’s clearly given up on himself lol

for all it is contradictory, it does fall in line with two situations in canon actually. in the dhbat manga, kuukou beats up and thoroughly charms his merry gay band of thugs, and they want to be like him so they ask him how should they clean themselves up. kuukou brushes them off like how tf should he know lmao, but there’s kuukou kinda being a little callous towards them. and then he was also initially dismissive towards jyushi, primarily bc he was being forced into it lmao, but he did sit thru hitoya explaining to shakku why jyushi needs the training in the first place and still wanted to refuse lol

so i’ve been thinking, maybe kuukou before we see him at 14 ready to drop everything to help ren, was a lot more dismissive of the human struggle and may have paid a heavy price that changed his mentality about it 🤔

vintage fashion moots !!! I have some pretty things to freak out about & show you under the cut!

okay. Now that my people are here & I can be insane: AHHHHHHHHHHH !!!! HATS !!!

I was given five !!!! vintage hats (from between the 30s & 50s i believe? Still researching, but based off looks alone I’m almost positive I’m right) by my grandma, and - I’m just speechless. Just speechless, look at how beautiful !!!!

picture time:

this one also happens to match that new dress I talked about in my last vintage fashion post perfectly, I am obsessed. Attempting to track down the brand lol

this one’s my absolute favourite. I have never been more obsessed with a piece in my life.

These two black ones reminded me of Sophia 😂 yes, grandma & i discussed exactly that.

this one needs a little cleaning up (which I definitely won’t get around to, im wayyy too scared to attempt something like that lol. She’s much more vibrant & clean irl!! The lighting in my room is awful) but it’s definitely my second favourite - I ADORE the feathers so much it makes such a statement!!

wahhhh !!!!!! trying not to explode lol !!!!!

Danganronpa WLWeek2023 day three: Ultimate Talent Development Plan

So! From my understanding this prompt is like there were no killing games and everyone just went to Hopes Peak’s like normal kids and worked on their talents! So I did Angie helping out with one of Himiko’s magic shows! She’s the best hype woman lol, and Himiko greatly appreciates it
