the list of traumas i need to unpack still and my coping mechanisms (or, more frequently, lack-thereof) keeps getting longer and i'm not sure i like that. I think i like less how much i already know they're hangups before they become a problem i have to actively work on, too.

#this post brought to you by #my aversion to bathrooms and kitchens being connected because they remind me that i have a body that has body functions #and those Weren't Allowed really - mean obviously what're you gonna do about it #but like... it was very clear it was seen as a Defect that i was in any way doing human body things even in normal amounts #so i learned to Hide all of my Disgusting Body Functions™#because if it was Found Out that i'd Excreted Fluids or Mucus or had Consumed Food and was Digesting those were Gross #and Punishable because they could Make A Mess #messes were *not* allowed (not well stopped but also not allowed so i was in trouble a lot because things would be messy)#(and not even always Really Actually Messy)#i'm way more fastidious about my Body Goo getting places than anyone i've ever met except for my parents and my sister #i'm not tidy by any means and i'm very bad at making sure things in my controlled space stay Clean and Sanitized but that's My Zone #that's allowed to be Disgusting (and frequently is)#(note: we're still using my definition of disgusting which probably just means Normal Amounts of Grossness)#but places that in my head are meant to be kept Sanitary and Nearly Sterile (kitchen & bathroom mainly) i get Very Anxious about #because if i'm in there i naturally will make things Unsanitary #it's why i avoided using shared spaces when i lived with people before - i can avoid Grossing Up The Place if i'm not in them #my big-e Ex was also not helpful in this because he was on my dad's level of fastidiousness #everything had to be spotless or he'd be upset and it had to be my job #and no i don't know which one i'm talking about there #my mom would freak out if there was too much dog hair - we had 2 dogs at any given time and all of them shed like hell #so ''too much'' was generally ''any''#household deepcleans were supposed to be a weekly thing and if it didn't get done weekly mom and dad were REALLY upset #everything i did that i considered ''gross'' was done in secret and in private and i was TERRIFIED of getting caught *checks notes*#having a body and it doing normal body things #so anyway if you've made it this far this is your friendly reminder that your body is not capable of any more grossness than any other body #and grossness is normal and it's fine you're not some sort of ooze monster who needs to be decontaminated constantly #you're just a human being with a human body #a lot of the way i've been handling this for a lot of these things is the ''well... people used to live in a lot dirtier conditions and THE #survived so i'm probably not going to die from exposure to 1 common household contaminant or body fluid from my own body''#it's... generally effective

Columbo and the Knight (1984)

put me in the universe where Columbo ran through the 1980s and had a crossover episode with Knight Rider. I think they deserved it, and I am not just saying that because they're my two favorite Old Shows. @telebeast wrote a little fanfic blurb about it and I HAD to visualize it into a comic (which is also the longest comic I have finished thus far at five pages...), so writing credit goes to them.

Autism W!

#columbo #knight rider #art #michael knight #kitt #comic #highlight reel #crossover #telebeast #there are two small easter eggs here. can you find them. they were somehow not Entirely lost when i resized these for the public #this is what i mean when i say I Draw And It's Everyone Else's Problem. look at my INCREDIBLY niche crossover comic boy #if the knight rider fandom has like 12 people in it. how many of y'all have seen columbo #this comic is for like 4 people and me and phoenix are already two of them #niche is my specialty lets be real. weird niche obscure shit and ships nobody's paid attention to yet #not to suggest this is ship art. columbo has his wife and michael has his car lmfao #stylizing real people is EXTREMELY hard btw sorry for when they get off model. its partly a 'better imperfect than never finished' situatio #cant tell you how much i redrew some of these panels. weeps #this took me 2 weeks but i think i thumbnailed it all in may and the ideas been rollin around in my head since march #is anybody good at editing. please edit michael and columbo into an image together like its a screenshot. NOT generated. edited.#it would be so cool #ive drawn columbo a lot but i haven't drawn a lot of michaels. i was learning things about his outfit AS I WAS DOING THE DAMN #COLORS ON THIS. all the lines done. it was too late to change anything. i did all the lines and colored page by page #i realized my mistakes on like page 3. 1 and 2 were already done. it was Too Late.#imagine it though. them working a case together. switching between the more serious tone of columbo vs the goofier #action antics of michael and kitt. columbo being so impressed by Modern Technology. there's more i could say but phoenix may write #more of this crossover and i don't want to spoil it :'3 #there's opportunity here though i swear. there's gold to be dug.#i like how kitt gets shading but columbo's junker peugeot doesn't. kitt looked wrong without any. columbo's car is matte and dirty #i also applied effects to this to make it look a little film-grainy and VHS like. some CRT TV vibes #the only question left is. did they put knight rider into columbo; or columbo into knight rider 🤔

anyway dai solas you will always be famous to me. nothing but respect for my boy who wandered off mid-cutscene in the hinterlands to go help out refugees, is extremely good at Lies Of Omission™️, has a whole spy/agent/informant network of elves who followed him, fervently argues that it's unethical to be happy about killing bandits bc they had lives and loved ones, describes his own temple(?) prison(?) as having "indecipherable" elven writing, has ferocious debates with dorian and iron bull about slavery, set himself on fire once by mistake, and within about a year of his 10000 year lifespan, went from seeing all the world as disposable emotionless husks, to developing actual friendships and even falling in love.

and then! still thought it was necessary to destroy and reset the world! but he would treasure the chance to be wrong again!!

#dragon age #solas #veilguard critical #txt #look. if you set up ''this character is extremely smart and generally cares about people''#and then add ''they're doing something completely unhinged and destructive sounding''#then the conclusion should not be ''wow this dumbass is just doing it to ~drown the world in demons 🙄~“#there needs to be an actually satisfying back and forth even IF the conclusion is that the veil stays up #personally i think. elf immortality is overrated and mortality SHOULD be part of thedas bc it is not actually silmarillioncore #but man. maybe just turn the veil down to like 30% opacity like it is for the avvar. they're chilling.#defibrillate the titans a bit (gently) and then it's fine. just a fun high fantasy setting #anyway it becomes like the anders effect where the like #7 years of unpaid frontline healthcare get Utterly Outweighed by one kind of inevitable act of violence #imo an underrated part of solas' character is that he presumably passed out at the worst possible blight-riddled tyranny era of arlathan #and then woke back up to a blight-riddled and tyrannical future #but he missed both the several hundred years before tevinter attacked arlathan #and the dales #and the early chantry which seemed significantly cooler than the later chantry #i got lost in my tag essay but i think solas' most evil crime was mistranslating all those inscriptions #academic malpractice. get his ass. 1000 years dungeon until he does it properly

Do you guys notice how when Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers union, started planning a general strike, he did it by a) targeting his messaging towards unions with the ability to safely and effectively strike in large numbers, b) laid out a clear, actionable plan for those unions to follow (setting contracts to all expire at the same time, since many unions cannot strike while under contract), c) is using union contracts to set clear, actionable demands that can be met in order to gauge success and provide an end goal, and d) started organizing FOUR YEARS before the proposed strike date to give people the chance to plan accordingly, because it takes a really freaking long time to get tens of millions of people organized?

You notice how he didn't do it by slapping a message on Twitter saying 'hey nobody go to work on Monday, that'll really show 'em'?

#those 'monday is a general strike stay home if you can!!!' posts are SO performative and they really annoy me #like. you MUST know you can't organize a general strike of tens of millions of people by sharing an infographic on twitter. Right?#don't even get me started on the most recent one that was like 'we understand the last strike only gave one day of notice'#'so this time we're giving you two! strike is on tuesday everyone don't forget!'#like GENUINELY was that supposed to be a joke #the linked article also touches on how difficult actual organizing a workplace is which is nice #because they mention previous failed attempts in which organizers basically just handed out leaflets #and assumed the benefits would be obvious. which i think is basically the equivalent of posting an infographic on twitter #which is to say - not effective at all. Organizing is a LOT of work! Running an effective union even more so!#labor rights

Bisan has called for a global strike this week 1/21-1/28! Offer support in as many ways as you can, but don’t feel bad if you can’t do everything or do it differently than others. We all have a part to play.

#palestine #ceasefire #Gaza #I know general strikes need a lot more organization to be fully effective #but it’s being called by the people affected #so I’m going to do the best I can to support it #keep talking about Palestine
