Moving Blogs

I keep forgetting to make an official post here but this blog is now INACTIVE and serves only as an archive.

The amount of fallout content I post these days is minimal, and I've found a much bigger space to be active in over on the writing side of tumblr, posting my darker content, original writing, whump, nsfw, etc.

So if that sounds like your cup of tea you can follow my new blog @seasaltandcopper

If you're still just wanting to see art you can follow my pillowfort, which is a grabbag of fandom and original stuff. Be warned there's also nsfw there too.

Mutuals are also welcome to dm me and ask for my discord, if you'd prefer to keep in touch that way.

Stay safe guys!

Had to label the old trash barrels so the collectors would know to take them

This should be the last post on tumblr before it is shut down.

me being mutuals with someone but not talking to them is the same as a cat existing in the same room as a person and considers it socializing. me liking and reblogging posts is like the cat purring

I wish you all very good sex. if you don't like sex, I wish you a very good romance. if you don't want either of them. I wish you a very good bowl of soup and some bread, mate.

I'm into sex and romance but I could really go for some good soup and bread right now

Not that you should be looking to Andrew Hussie for advice on things, but he’s officially endorsing pirating his comic because the Homestuck website is utterly broken. The Unofficial Collection is now Officially Official

[tomatograter]

Sorry but i have to butt in with the wording choice here. The unofficial collection is not “pirating homestuck” - Homestuck is a webcomic. Homestuck is free to read. Homestuck is free.

The only thing Viz has hold of are publishing and marketing rights, and we all know they’ve been leeching on the property while doing nothing to aid the upkeep of the site they legally promised to manage. It’s a corporation interested only in whatever is the most profitable at the time — that being recent manga releases, not archiving webcomics from the 2010’s they purchased to turn into print books. It fucking sucks. And I’ve already said this before: it would be all the more beneficial to Viz if people had to buy the books to read Homestuck.

The flashes were never converted into anything but shitty blurred YouTube videos, I don’t even know if most of the games are still playable, and *I* was one of the people to point out the search function was randomly breaking the site, which led to the screencapped post. (You got an error trying to reach pages from google, and also from trying to search pages with the in-site engine. I still don’t fucking know what’s up with that.)

The unofficial HS collection is a community effort to emulate and preserve the way Homestuck was meant to be read before it got mishandled by a disinterested corpo board. Hussie isn’t a Viz manager and this isn’t the first time they’ve acknowledged the company’s fuck-ups - just recently a bunch of minor gifs and icons used in the comic were broken and they had those fixed. It’s kinda silly to act like we’re not watching an author with little control over their work wrestle with people who don’t care to keep it online in real time.

Anyway, go torrent the homestuck collection. It has a reward-unlocking system for new readers (it keeps extra content like paradox space out of sight until you reach the point where they were released in the story) all the music albums, track covers, and occasional composer commentary too. You can adjust the comic’s font, line spacing, site theme & play all the flashes in-app. There’s a bookmark function. It’s pretty good.

I think we need to rework the whole “needing routine as an autistic person” thing because for the majority of allistic people, “routine” looks something like:

-wake up at 6am

-shower at 6:15am

-eat breakfast at 6:30am

-do important outings at 7am

-come home at 3pm

and so on..

And that is nothing like what I and many other autistic people experience (though it is what some experience).

Routine can be more accurately described as needing to do things in order to feel comfortable.

For example, I have no set time I wake up, I have no set time I do anything. But when I do wake up, I need to do my morning tasks in a specific order or I’ll struggle to function.

I get out of bed, turn on my lamp, switch my computer on, go to the bathroom, make my bed, get dressed, and sit down at my desk. That’s what a routine looks like to me.

If I’m cooking, I need to do things in a certain order or the food will be “wrong” (this could possibly be down to ARFID, but that is also comorbid with autism.)

There are other things like this. I guess you could call them mini routines. They aren’t a typical routine you’d see in a neurotypical or even someone who’s allistic.

For the longest time, I thought this was a symptom of autism I did not have at all but I do.

Just because a symptom doesn’t present in a neurotypical way, doesn’t mean it’s not there.

[datsderbunnyblog]

You're absolutely right, for me it doesn't feel like "needing a routine" but rather "I have only a very tenuous grasp on how to navigate daily tasks and as such any unexpected disruption to the internal script/algorithm I've already prepared in advance will make the task inaccessible". And that's where the meltdowns/shutdowns come in.

And especially for autistics with comorbid ADHD/OCD/mental illness etc it often won't present like a "routine".

Things must go the way I have laid out in my expectations of this or the change causes an overload and my brain crashes

[elidyce]

Let’s not forget ‘I have established a routine for this task so I remember to do all the steps’  and if anyone interferes with any one of the steps you will 100% fail to do some or all of the others because they’ve interfered with your system and now it’s all gone. 

Same goes for ‘I can’t stop in the middle because if I do I will never come back’. People will say ‘oh, can you just do this one thing’ and listen, I don’t care if putting a new garbage bag in the bin will only take me ten seconds, it breaks the routine and now I don’t know what I was doing or why and it’s YOUR FAULT.

[saiiboat]

I personally saw this go from 500 to 7000 in a matter of hours

[gallusrostromegalus]

I have a friend who is an HVAC guy and I asked him once while he was fixing our furnace, what the weirdest thing he'd ever seen on the job was and he rattled off a dozen stories, including:

People answering the door naked

People answering the door in full gimp suits, having either been interrupted because they forgot the appointment (funny) or dressed up special for him (bad)

woman with 200+ cats (called animal control, later adopted one of the cats)

house full of rotting food and garbage

House expiriencing Major Structural Failure. "Ma'am we gotta leave the roof's about to fall in"

people who sit and watch him work without talking (talkers are fine, just don't get in the way. Silent people are either suspicious or horny)

"people leave dildoes and bongs other paraphenelia out all the time. like not on purpose. Just forgetful like. Mostly I worry about thier hygene."

That time the client had a heart attack while he was working there

That time a client went into labor while he was there

the guy with a basement dedicated to Alex Trebek/Jepoardy. "Like, it was perfectly clean. And really well done. He had a working board and stands n' shit. but like. Too many pics of Trebek, you know?"

Client that kept offering him Homemade Blood Sausage. "Not like hannibal, she was a little old lady from France, so it was an, whatsit, ethnic thing? Really nice of her. But also, no."

So I would like to reassure you that "NICE COCK" Shadow The Hedgehog is not the weirdest thing the guy saw that week, but it might have been the funniest.
