i am not a psychiatrist but i do find it really weird how autism checklists are so often focused on "outward" signs of autism rather than what is going on internally. i don't know how to explain it but "do you make eye contact with other people" feels like a much less relevant question than "how does it feel when you have to make eye contact with other people?"

[beaft]

while i'm here, the other one that always pisses me off is "do you interpret idioms literally, for example 'bull in a china shop'?"

well, no, obviously. i know what "bull in a china shop" means because that is a popular phrase with a clearly defined meaning. and if i hadn't heard it before, then i would still not interpret it literally, because it has the cadence of an idiom and i would probably be able to work out from context what it meant. what is the point of this question

[beaft]

third and final complaint: "are you good at noticing subtext?"

i feel like the problem with this question is best illustrated by a conversation i had with a friend a while back, where i said something like, "i feel very safe with you because you don't do subtle hints and you are always very straight-up with me about what you are thinking and feeling."

and he laid a hand on my shoulder and was like, look dude i'm gonna be straight up here. i am subtle with you constantly and you simply do not notice <3

@luckyybones hope you don't mind me screenshotting but you are actually so correct

I keep meeting artists who complain that Tumblr Is Dead then when I check their blog they've made four posts in six months and all of them were self promo lmao. Influencers whining that "tumblr is useless for engagement" tells me every part of the problem, like sorry you can't just show up and farm this userbase for clicks by waving buzzwords around the way you can on tiktok. This is the Excited About Stupid Things website reblog some shitty fanart or die

[shinesurge]

Bringing back this ancient post because I would like to add that I think another reason people have trouble connecting with others on here is that nobody even glances at their new followers' pages or checks out the regulars who DO show up in their notifications. You should be checking for bots anyway but like you could already have cool creators hanging around you and you don't even know it because you log in to drop your posts and immediately leave, you have to Live Here dude. Meet the neighbors.

Male writers writing female characters:

“Cassandra woke up to the rays of the sun streaming through the slats on her blinds, cascading over her naked chest. She stretched, her breasts lifting with her arms as she greeted the sun. She rolled out of bed and put on a shirt, her nipples prominently showing through the thin fabric. She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards.”

[m1ssc0mmun1cat10n]

‘ She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards’ is the greatest fucking sentence I have ever read.

Is wanting to be loved romantically so terrible. Is wanting someone to belong to me and only me so bad. Does this stem from some sort of trauma, probably. Am I extremally touch starved and want so many kisses, yes.

[silverthornlady]

I feel like a terrible person because when I heard that they were going to get a divorce I was sad because they always seemed like an amazing couple and then my second thought was but now I have a chance with the one who I never thought I would have a chance with. I don't really have a chance with them because I'm not their type and they would never but the fact that that was even a thought makes me a terrible terrible person

Basically this is the same message as the previous video I shared by this creator. But it’s just an older TikTok. Like they have mentioned, it seems like this argument keeps cycling around every few months. It’s not hard to understand. If you don’t support and encourage writers, then they’re going to give up and quit writing. Simple as that. The community side of fanfic and AO3 has died off. Writers are leaving. AI writing, puritans and the “fandom police” are taking over. Please, just support those of us that are left.

[ekjohnston]

I am extremely guilty of reading complete fics and utterly failing to comment, and I am trying extremely hard to be the person I used to be, who commented a lot. Because it is super important! I've been back to writing fanfic this year for the first time in like half a decade, and it's...kind of alarming to go from 10 comments a chapter to one, maybe. And I'm part of the problem! But so help me god, I am trying, because we built something amazing over the generations, and I want it to stay.

As it is Passover again, it is time for the annual debate as to whether the frog plague, which thanks to a quirk in the Hebrew, is written as a plague of frog, singular, rather than the plural, plague of frogs, was in fact, as generally imagined, a plague of many frogs, or instead a singular giant Kaiju frog. This is an ancient and venerable argument that actually goes back to the Talmud because this is what the Jewish people are. If we can't argue for fun about this sort of thing, what are we even doing.

In that spirit, I would like to submit a third possibility, which is that in fact it was one perfectly normal sized frog, who was absolutely acing Untitled Frog Game: Ancient Egypt Edition. One particularly obnoxious frog, who through sheer hard work, managed to plague all of Egypt.

Sometimes I wish I could be a hoe. Cause I’m so touch starved that anything would be better than nothing. But unfortunately I got that religious trauma so i can’t actually do that. I don’t have the confidence or mental ability to be a hoe. I just want someone to cuddle me and give me kisses 😢😢😢
