The thing is, you don’t have to have a diagnoses to make simple “unmasking” changes that make your life easier. You don’t even have to self-diagnose! You are not appropriating anyone’s culture or struggles or hijacking anyone’s movement by allowing yourself to sway in line at the grocery store or buying a weighted blanket or using study or household hacks intended for people with ADHD. If you start favoring the needs that make your brain and body unique over the arbitrary norms of society, you’ll be better off, and you’ll be expanding the norms. It’s a win/win.
What if 11 had to get fobwatched. I don't think Amy and Rory would know how the fuck to handle Extremely Autistic Human Man!Doctor at all. He's still climbing everything and taking things apart for fun except now if he falls off their roof he actually breaks something. And because this is the Doctor any of his instructions on how to keep an eye on him are completely utterly useless to them
I like the idea that Cross realised Killer was touchstarved (he didn't have the words for it but he noticed how much Killer would settle down from it) and started giving him very small basic affection. Pat on the back, hand on the shoulder, maybe a quick friendly hug, all things he probably learned through royal guard training and thinks of as normal friend/coworker stuff.
But as they both got more comfortable in the routine of it, Killer started instigating touches and he was not shy about it (like not just leaning into Cross's side during movie night, he looks like he's trying to get into Cross's jacket with him)
And that this more intense affection made Cross realise he might also be just a little bit touchstarved
Wouldn’t that be adorable 🥰 (p.s i love your art. i squeal and kick my feet every time I see it❤️)
I'm 2 months late to this um I hope this suffices!!
Thank you so very much for the kind words 🥺 Your art is also awesome!! It makes me so happy that you like mine as well ❤️
also may be not-online very much for the next week or so because 1: trying to get stickers out 2: that body pain has Arrived With the Cold and 3: the dreaded horror of family obligation holidays but I'll try to queue up posts and asks and art and stream when im home
my piece for the @moon-knight-zine Lunar Labyrinth! I drew this over a year ago so it's nice to have it see the light of day, it was such a pleasure to be part of this zine :)
someone said to give Chuuya stupid headcanons and so:
he crochets. not WELL, mind you, but he can make a mean granny square. though because he does it as a way to relax, his stitches always start out incredibly tight before eventually loosening a little bit later as he calms down, and so all of his granny squares end up kind of wonky.
anyway something something his hands and his humanity and using a part of him that is so well-known for destruction to instead create something for once.
