does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver
the reblog map is all of us holding hands btw
We are each other's night sky. No one is alone here.
night sky continues to get brighter. theres always people here for you
Bestie that is a supernova. You are ABOUT TO DIE
And yet, that Supernova came from nothing but us holding hands. There is great power in that, the shared kindness of supporting each other. Power enough to rival the stars
fucked that you can’t fix other people especially when you really care about them. Oh so im just supposed to be there for you while you suffer. like a useless cunt gargoyle
they should invent a disproportionate emotional response that goes away when you understand it's disproportionate. they should invent a way to logic yourself out of emotions
numbers if they had youtube drama
no dude it's so cool how attached you are to that character who is singled out and ostracized due to the external monstrousness that clashes with their internal spark of humanity. and i love how drawn you are to themes of horror and love, nature versus nurture, otherness, isolation, and the abject. i bet you have normal feelings about your own personhood
(snaps out of it) OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING!! HOLY JESUS CHRIST FUCK WHY DID NOBODY TRY TO STOP ME (eases back into it) ahhhh. yeah this feels right
As someone who was alive when Bob Ross (and William Alexander before him — that’s where the approach is from) was on PBS, I can 100% testify that you can paint along with him.
You may need to learn how to set up your paints and such… but this is what people did, live, while the show aired. That’s what the show was for. I had family members create lovely works of art they enjoyed, which I still have on my walls, because William Alexander and Bob Ross both said:
SCREW METICULOUS CLASSICAL ART PRACTICES — JUST GRAB A PALETTE KNIFE AND BIG OLD BRUSH AND PAINT!
They freed a whole generation of people who were taught to paint detail and realism and exact representation of reality — people who largely gave up this kind of thing because it got tedious.
I watched the joy of family members as they rediscovered art as a messy fun spontaneous half hour activity.
Give it a try.
the best death note joke format will forever be L asking light a simple question in which logical answer A might increase the likelihood of light being kira and logical answer B similarly might increase the likelihood of light being kira and after a short internal struggle light comes up with answer Y, which no human being has ever thought of as being a normal response in all of living history
the "what are your pronouns" comic is my fave example.
For those unfamiliar, or simply wanting to see it again:
as a rule it's always more interesting when two people who know each other outlive a third person that they both loved and then their relationship becomes So Much Weirder and more emotionally fraught, entangled, and charged when that third person dies
dont talk to me or my clone or my shadow self or my reflection or my me ever again
You get unique dialogue from Susie, Ralsei, and Yellow if you get hit ten times during the segment where you try to destroy Yellow's Hyper Punishment Gun.
Made a sleepy little floradinn dreaming of a hot gamer gf
I'm imagining like the entirety of Castle Town came to see Susie when she got back because they're just dying to know how her date went

what it feels like

a note on "going nonverbal"
nonverbal refers to a permanent state of not talking. it means months, years, decades of no talking.
not being able to talk for a few minutes to hours at a time is not nonverbal. i don't want anyone to feel dismissed by saying this. not being able to talk is distressing. it is frustrating and scary. if not being able to talk for short periods is distressing, imagine how nonverbal people feel 24/7.
to quote one of my favorite movies "you keep using that word. i do not think it means what you think it means," the princess bride (1987).
when nonverbal people try to talk about their experiences, it is flooded with people talking about 'going nonverbal'. our voices get drowned out in our own community. it feels incredibly isolating and makes it really hard for us to be listened to or even find others who are nonverbal.
also, we have been saying this for YEARS. but every time we bring it up, y'all act like this is a new concept. that just tells me you have not meaningfully interacted with the nonverbal community, or the MSN/HSN community. it is not new, y'all just don't listen.
what to say instead of "going nonverbal". speech loss / losing speech / speech loss episode. vocal rest. verbal shutdown / vocal shutdown. words are offline. verbal loss. PS - vocal rest is GREAT if you don't want to mention why you can't speak, or have to mask. musicians say they are on vocal rest all the time to protect their voice before performing.
"But Chrome! that doesn't sound as serious as "going nonverbal!" people won't take you seriously either way, sorry. i have had periods of my life where i can talk sometimes and periods where i can't ever. they aren't going to take you seriously if you use our language because they don't take you seriously at all. because of the ableism.
"my therapist / SLP / doctor says 'going nonverbal, though -" that doesn't mean it's ok. professionals don't always listen to the people they are attempting to serve. they should, but they don't. because of the ableism. and racism, sexism, etc.
the autism community already has a problem with driving out higher support needs autistics, nonverbal autistics and especially autistic people of Color. you can be part of the solution. you can support marginalized autistic voices and make your community safer and more inclusive. but first you have to listen.
thank you for listening. i hope something good happens to you today!
with love, chrome.
Reminder that nonverbal means you do not verbally speak ever, while verbal shutdown means you have periods of time/episodes where you don't speak verbally.
Don't say you're "going nonverbal", say you're having a verbal shutdown. Nonverbals do not like their language being misused to treat nonverbality as a temporary thing.
(This is not a judgemental post to anyone who has misused the term in the past. It's a common mistake. Just please take this information in stride for the future.)
this also applies to selective mutism! you aren't "going selectively mute" you're experiencing verbal shutdown. if you can speak most of the time to most people in most situations you aren't selectively mute, you're experiencing verbal shutdown.
selective mutism is when you can only, if ever, speak to people you trust and are close with, and in situations you are comfortable in, and/or if you have no choice. otherwise you rarely, if ever, speak, and the idea of speaking in an uncomfortable situation and/or to people you don't trust is accompanied by extreme anxiety.
*knock knock*
“Anyone there?”
“Ah ha! You are here. Won’t you let me in?”
“No? I’m afraid you won’t have a choice in the matter.”
“That should do it!”
“Now, now. Don’t be afraid.”
“I’m only here for your life.”
But… I bought Skyrim… Twice…
Buy it again
I don’t have any money, Mr. Howard.
Well, im sorry but you leave me no choice. Id rather not do this so im giving you another chance to buy The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim™ Remastered Edition. Its Skyrim in a whole new dimension!
I just need to get my paycheck, and then I’ll buy it, I swear!
It says here that you bought groceries this week. If you hadnt you could use that money to buy an incredible experience that is worth infinitely more, and it just works
I can’t play Skyrim if I’m dead, Todd.
Really fool? I’ll have Skyrim: Special Edition ported to hell by this October, this one’s free
And who says I’m gonna go to hell?
Mere bullets cannot stop me, mortal. Either bend to my will or you will suffer endlessly in my divine fire
You revealed your true form far too early, Howard.
And I have yet to even start powering up!
First, I shall pause you in time!
And then,
This is no ordinary gun, Todd. Take a closer look.
I shall absorb your company into Electronic Arts and bleed you dry! Your fate shall eclipse that of Mass Effect in terms of severity!
FOOL, YOU THINK THAT BETHESDA MATTERS TO ME? THEY WERE ONLY A TOOL TO FURTHER MY PLANS. YOU WILL BURN!
KNOW MY WRATH MORTAL
> mortal
He thinks I’m a mortal!
You have no clue who you are dealing with, Todd!
I have more power in my nose hairs than you do in your entire body, Todd!
You have one chance to earn your continued existence. Announce or release a game that isn’t Skyrim or Fallout 4 at the next E3. I shall be waiting for you there.
y’all did a whole RP on my post this is the funniest shit
I’M FUCKING WHEEZING
Oh god there’s more
