[spookyfantasyauthor]

Low-key in a crisis rn cause I've been writing really badly lately, the last 6.000 words I think. I hate them. So much. I think I should never write again honestly

[seyodys]

Try not to judge yourself too harshly. The more you judge yourself, the more your writing will suffer.... you'll overthink things and pass up on good writing because of it. Your passion for it starts to die out the more you hate on it.

Please love your creations. Even if it isn't the best thing you've ever made. Even if you think it's garabage... please love it anyway. Don't let the love of the craft slip away.

Speaking from experience.

i love you autistic people who can’t handle the holidays

i love you autistic people who are accused of being ungrateful due to not reacting in the neurotypical way

i love you autisitc people who are forced to go to church even if they do not believe

i love you autistic people who get overstimulated by family and loud noise

i love you autistic people who probably will not eat 95% of the christmas feast due to sensory issues

[seyodys]

Even after explaining why, I still get in trouble because I don't wanna open my gifts in front of everyone....

One of my favorite rough sketches I've ever done. Tiptop (left) and Kaden (right) as cadets, keeping the nightmares away after a stressful day.

Reblogging for me 'cause by golly I'm gonna need this

[seyodys]

"You need to eat more."

Yeah, believe me, I would if my stupid sensory issues could stomach the thought of food that's not precisely the right temperature and texture. You know how exhausting it is to try and make each meal fit that standard? Heaven forbid I try to eat something sub-par. I'll just end up dry heaving over the plate.

[enigmaticpink]

I think some people forget that some literature and some media is meant to be deeply uncomfortable and unsettling. It's meant to make you have a very visceral reaction to it. If you genuinely can't handle these stories then you are under no obligation to consume them but acting as if they have no purpose or as if people don't have a right to tell these stories, stories that often relate to the darkest or most disturbing parts of life, then you should do some introspection.

[vsaintsin]

I’ve read some things that deal in sad/dark/actually depressing and disturbing subject matter. I’ve loved them and the points they make without endorsing the events portrayed.

It’s always disappointing to get online and see that the conversation is “X thing shouldn’t exist” on the grounds that it made somebody feel badly. It was meant to make you feel that way and it’s normal that it did - it’s okay that you stop reading it or don’t finish it but I am BEGGING you to consider why it made you uncomfortable and why the author felt the need (if the answer isn’t immediately obvious, as it can be). There isn’t shame in something putting you off so badly that you shelve it.

The sterilization of reality is a detriment to all who exist within it. To censor stories with painful themes is to erase the reality that such stories are based in some horrific truth and works to erase the reality that many people have endured.

This trend or whatever we want to call it has gotten so bad that I listened to an entire lecture from somebody about how awful a book was and how it shouldn’t exist at all, how the author was a terrible person for concocting it and how it hurt people. When I asked what the book was, this person not only could barely recall the name but HAD NEVER READ IT. I bought the book. I read the book. It accomplished its task beautifully and I found it to be a cathartic experience. I also understood how it could make people so uncomfortable and would never judge anybody for setting it down.

It’s okay not to like something and distance yourself from it. Remember that those rules apply only to you, though, because they speak only to your own psyche.

Periodic reminder that one of the many roles of fiction is microdosing on big scary feelings so you build resilience, empathy, understanding, and defense against the real thing.

[seyodys]

As my sister put it, yes, the story is sad. Yes, it's heart-wrenching, disgusting, terrifying, nightmarish... but they're all safe emotions. These stories give you a chance to feel these things in a controlled environment, without being in the midst of turmoil yourself. Which in my opinion, that's a chance we should all be given.

[seyodys]

Gotta love stepping out into the public and immediately going blank in the head, am I right?

[seyodys]

You ever get water in your ear that wont come out and then you wanna kill yourself because this sensation is a fate worse than death

Worst part about this is I've only ever used that yellow square emoji once and it was just to see how it looked. This isn't who I am. However, in retrospect, I suppose it is

[teathattast]

Reading through the notes is a surreal experience please keep adding more to fuel my effervescent consumption of non descriptive emojis
