Looking out for things that shine

It has been wayyyy too long since I’ve updated my profile on this hellsite, so this’ll have to do. 24, bi ass bitch, she/her. ADHD and autism. Hit me up if you don’t mind waiting like a year for a reply. Social anxiety is a hell of a drug. I’m also on AO3. And I’m totally planning on getting back to that fic you were reading. Eventually.

Congrats, we have reached a period of time where there is a generation that does not remember the first memes.

[ryanthedemiguy]

Look, i’ve been on tumblr for nine fucking years and I don’t get this meme. I remember seeing it at some point, but have no clue what it means.

[nerdfighterwhatevernumbers]

because this meme is pre tumblr and pre-youtube and is about 17 years old, almost twice as long as you’ve been on tumblr the ancient depths of albinoblacksheep will never die

[slimegargoyle]

are you trying to be normal so people won’t know you’re traumatized and angry or are you trying to be larger-than-life so people won’t know you’re vulnerable and needy

[eyelikeamagpie]

Yes

A Word on Aubrey Little

As a bisexual woman I really love the fact that Aubrey Little is bi.

But just as important (if, frankly, not more important) to me is the fact that she has ADD. When Travis first mentioned this I had to pause the podcast because I was so excited. I couldn’t stop smiling for like an hour.

As a person with ADHD, I can think of next to no characters who canonically have ADHD.

Aubrey not only has ADD (aka ADHD-PI) but is an adult with ADD. I cannot think of a single adult character who canonically has ADD/ADHD other than Aubrey.

Aubrey is not only an adult who canonically has ADD, but she’s a woman. Women and girls are chronically under-diagnosed when it comes to ADHD/ADD, so having a female character with it is super important!

And lastly, Aubrey was created and portrayed by a man who has ADD himself and is basing her off his own experiences—experiences which I share, because it’s an incredibly realistic portrayal. She isn’t mocked for not being neurotypical, either—she’s a sweet, funny, badass character who has friends and romance and adventures.

Basically, as a (bi) woman with ADHD-PI, I wanna thank Travis McElroy for Aubrey Little.
