When I was a kid I went to the St Patrick’s day parade in Southie and my sister and I were sitting on a newspaper dispenser and a younger boy walked past us and said “you’re gonna die.” Anyways that was St Patrick

Final group of aitsf colourpicked pride flags… don’t ask me whats going on here… nonbinary date, mizuki, and tokiko + bisexual iris. I tried to do other bi flags but they all turned out horrible so unfortunately iris is the only survivor.

*therefore don’t participate in any activities related to it

saw a tweet about a skibidi toilet event at the mall and how was it even this popular enough to happen bc it's not like they did this w/ any 2000s internet phenomena, and someone replied "I would've gone to the mall to see strong bad and homestar runner" and you know what. so would I. not even in past tense.

Can we *please* have pride events that are more accessible to autistic people please golly

I lasted maybe 3 hours at pride before melting down, and that was *with sensory accommodations*. We took a break in a sensory space multiple times! I wore ear guards all the time! I wore safe comfy clothes and drank lots of cool water for temp regulation!

but huge huge crowds outside in sticky heat with packed streets and super bass boosted music. which was amplified by my ear guards. everyone was so nice when we talked to them, but I couldn’t talk to anybody because taking off my ear guards hurt too much and I was rapidly losing speech. it was fun shopping at all the art stalls and meeting people, but the stalls were closely crowded and moving between them was difficult.

like. I was the only visibly autistic person there that I saw. and I saw a LOT of people. and there were lots of other things me n my friends wanted to do, that we couldn’t do, because the place was too overwhelming and I melted down.

kinda feels lonely. I didn’t really get to talk to or meet a lot of people.

I wish there were smaller inside events alongside the huge outside ones. like a board game thing or smth. an indoor social. a few inside art stalls. *something*. Even an indoor drag show! There were drag events they were hosting and I couldn’t watch or enjoy them bc the music outside was So Fucking Loud.

there are other issues I had with that event but that’s the main thing. it turned smth I was excited to participate in, into smth I was just quietly miserable about. which kinda sucks. was worth it to go try once, but I don’t think I’d go again.

I feel like my main take away from the Somerton situation is, thinking about it, the sheer damage he’s done to a certain subset of the queer community due to that information being passed on and shared around. And how much of that needs to be fixed or reversed.

Particularly by making sure anyone who got trampled by his actions get the compensation they deserve, and by learning what the red flags associated with blatant misinformation and outright plagiarism are.

…Given Somerton’s main internet presence has all but been nuked at this point, I can only hope he’ll one day come clean without the truth being twisted, and actually do better by the community to make up for it.

But that’s just wishful thinking on my part. The best thing here, is he just stays gone and the rest of the community can start to heal.

It’s enough of a spectacle as it is, what with various blogs cheering and shouting, parading the corpse of his Youtube channel around at this point. The next step is making sure anyone who honestly got caught up in Somerton’s lies get the guidance they need.

BW (to me) is a game all about the importance of human connection and how we all can’t live without each other. How we all change and the people we end up becoming.

And that theme is in pokemashe BW. It’s the key focus. People change and growing through people and how everyone makes an impact on each other big or small.

BUT pokemashe BW2 is all about what happens after. What happens when the person who changed your life. Saved the world. Is gone. What happens when Hilbert is gone.

And it’s all about the effects of a person who changed the life of so many people. His memory living through the entire cast. Whether it be through characters who knew him personally and were changed because of them like Bianca, Cheren, Hilda, and N. Or it being through Rosa, Nate, and Hugh carrying on his wish. Hilbert living through all of them.
