༻⪻About me⪼༺

Mexican 🇲🇽

Digital artist and writer sometimes

Mainly will post about Sonic

Use any pronouns on me, I really don’t care. Gender isn’t real anyways.

Very very autistic and probably have something else undiagnosed too lol

Ask are open! Don’t know what you’d want to ask me but it’s there I guess

English isn’t my first language. Give me some patience with spelling mistakes and typos

༻⪻Blog rules⪼༺

Dni uuh… idk just be a decent person. Dni Bigots, racists, homophobics, transphobics, ablelists, antisemites, zionists, Maga. I mean, the blogger is a disabled, trans, aroace and mexican lesbian. I feel like all of that should be obvious…

If you go to my dms and just say "hi" without explaining what you want I'll just block you and assume you're a bot. Want to say something? Say it without greetings

If you ask for commission you will be blocked. I don’t do commission and the day I start doing them it’ll be showed here on this pinned post

༻⪻Taggs⪼༺

All my original post will be on #Maple the Darkshine so to filter out the reblogs

All of my drawings on #Maple Drawings

My writing and AO3 fics will be at #Maple writing

Answers to asks will go to #Maple answers

Reblogs will generally go untagged because at this point it’s too late to go back and try to clean my reblogs

this post is for the people with memory issues

people who's memories are getting worse every day, who's memories are stable but poor, people who can't remember what they did today or yesterday or this week, people who's childhoods are a faded blur. people who have slow greying-out amnesia that seems to just fade in and out of existence, and people who have complete blackouts, and people who have both. people who mourn the happy memories they know they've lost, who fear the bad memories they've lost that still affect them.

people who have "emotional amnesia" that makes it feel like none of their memories are their own, because there's few or no feelings attached. people who can ONLY remember the feelings from certain or even most memories, not actual events. people who's memory issues scare them or make them angry or make them miserable. people who's memory issues get them called childish or difficult or rude. who can't remember the names or faces of those they love. who are constantly forgetting the things that "you'd remember if you really cared". who misplace everything. who remember so little of their lives that they barely know who they are. people who's memory issues come from trauma/dissociation, ADHD, traumatic brain injury, brain fog/chronic fatigue, drug use, alcoholism. people who have no idea what causes their memory issues. people who's memory issues come from something else entirely.

i love you, you're strong, and you deserve support and care for what you're going through. memory issues can be frustrating and upsetting and disabling, and your suffering deserves to be recognized. whether you're soaring through recovery or are only ever going to get worse, you deserve good things in life and to live the fullest you can, regardless of how much you remember.

[cross-my-heart-o2]

slowly becoming more disabled by chronic illness and communicating with people is like. no i’m sorry i don’t remember your birthday but i think i still know your favorite color. blue, right? no? thank you for lending me this book, but i don’t think i can finish it before you’d want it back. you said something to me, and i don’t know what it was but it was important. i didn’t do that thing i said i’d do for you. i know i asked this before. i forgot your name but i swear you’re an important part of my life. give me a minute, i don’t understand what you’re saying. i know that was a really big thing but remind me of what we’re talking about again? i’m sorry i left you on delivered for two and a half months, i love you. i forgot the promise we made when we were kids. i don’t remember why you’re mad at me. i don’t understand i’m sorry

[low-battery-warniing]

they call me the forgeterrrrrr #This is somewhat concerning actually #I don’t think it’s,normal to forget things that quickly

Hey can you guys reblog Cheeseburger so he can take a sunbeam nap on lots of blogs. No other reason I just want you guys to see him.

[musashi]

So, Cheeseburger died on November 21st after an unfairly short battle with an unfairly rare cancer that is rarely seen in cats. I only got to spend a month with him after his diagnosis, and losing him has been the greatest heartbreak of my entire life so far. He was my best friend and my soul cat, and he was there for me when I was completely alone, for twelve long years.

I made this transparent PNG the night he died in preparation for one of the many ways I was going to memorialize him--a surface rug in his likeness that I planned on laying directly in the line of his favourite sunbeam. And I uploaded that PNG here, because this is the website where people post their cats.

I was not expecting the reception I got. Many people have pointed out that this post has more reblogs than likes, and how insane that is in 2025 when reblog culture is at an all time low. I didn't even talk about the fact that Burger passed away in the original post, it wasn't a tearjerker reblog bait or anything like that. People just loved Burger that much, in the same way I fell in love with him at first sight. He was such an ugly kitten.

Anyways, it's really special to me that so many people have reblogged my best friend. I made this PNG to memorialize him in a completely different way, and you all wound up doing just that in ways I never even imagined.

Thank you. Wherever he is, I know the sun is shining.

[ribbon-heartwise]

Rest in peace, Cheeseburger. I believe you are now under the largest sun beam of them all, basking in its warmth.

sonic team budget this year apparently

1% sonic game

1% other promos and shit

98% bioengineering sonic irl for some fucking reason

[tpwrtrmnky]

the real answer to almost every "does [identity A] belong in [identity B] spaces" question is actually just "these spaces are informal social groups and if you're cool you can hang, don't worry about it"

[tpwrtrmnky]

You can be Homer Simpson at the lesbian bar. It's fine. Don't worry about it.

[coelii]

I think that’s part of what makes the payoff for this joke one of the best in the series

you’re supposed to think Homer is just being his usual idiot self and is about to realize the obvious (har har har he doesn’t belong there!)

but no!

props to them for not only making the actual joke a funny misdirection, but topping it off with this (surprisingly progressive) stinger:

[maplethedarkshine]

And it's funnier in Spanish lmao

I’m calling them the “nocturnal squad” until I think of a better name.

As an ace this is the only time "you just haven't met the right person yet" has made me laugh lmaoooo

[thymehaspassed]

[nonexistentnull]

gonna start reverse-shipping. that canon couple is not dating actually. that kiss was entirely platonic and i dont see why you’re reading into it any other way. their parents are clearly roommates with benefits. when they say “boyfriend” they actually said “boy friend”. every character will become aromantic when i’m done with them

[jellybeanzrock]

Today I was chatting with two guys and mentioned I was aroace. It went a little something like this.

A: wtf is that

B: it means she’s not attracted to people in that way

A: bro you can’t just not pick a side, that’s crazy

B: nah, it just means she’s spectator mode

A: OHHH IT MAKES SENSE NOW

I have never felt more validated or laughed so hard

It’s official, folks—we are getting a Cuphead sequel! Studio MDHR announced it today at this year’s Summer Game Fest.

They didn't give an exact title or release date yet because it just got the green light, but it's a true follow-up being made using traditional animation.

Plus, they're dropping a retro 8-bit spin-off called Mighty Cuphead Adventure.

Prepare your thumbs, ladies and gentlemen, our controllers are about to get destroyed...AGAIN!!!
