the fact that sprite was genderfluid in the comics and they erased it in the movie makes me so unbelievably upset

Any tips on writing Autistic characters?

I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I think my best answer is balance and understanding. I did my best to give some tips, but also know that these are just sorta the things I thought of and my opinion and tips are obviously only one perspective.

Six Base Tips on Writing Autistic Characters

First, do your research. Research and learn not only what autism is and how it presents, but also look for personal experiences of people who are actually autistic. Get a wide range of demographics and experiences, especially because autism is on a huge spectrum.

Second, know that autism is a big part of a lot of people’s identities, but it also doesn’t have to be the main thing your story is about (and if it’s your first time writing an autistic character- probably shouldn’t be what your story is about). Autism affects my daily life. I bring headphones and stim toys with me everywhere. I block flashing light tags on social media. I have accommodations in school. Autism is a part of me and it’s a part of me I’m happy with, but it also isn’t my whole life, even if it affects my whole life.

Third, be aware of tropes and stereotypes. Don’t play into the “savior caretaker” role. Know that autism falls on a spectrum and people experience it in all sorts of ways.

Fourth, don’t “cure” autism. Just don’t do it.

Fifth, know that a lot of people are self diagnosed due to the issues regarding the diagnosis process. Your character can be self diagnosed. That is accepted in the autistic community.

Sixth, avoid Autism $peaks and ABA therapy. They’re abusive. If you want to know more about them, look up stuff advocates for autism acceptance have to say about them. They’re awful. Avoid “Autism Moms” as well. Avoid functioning labels. 

These are just some base tips. If you have any questions or if anyone wants to add anything on, feel free to. Also, if you do end up writing an autistic character, feel free to ask me to read it over if you like. I can’t promise I’ll have the time or spoons, but you can always ask, I wouldn’t be offended at all.

so. peter nureyev. Here Are All Of My Opinions

ill start by saying i'm not a meta writer, im a clown. i've never had a coherent thought in my life and i'm not gonna start now. all I'm gonna say is that fandoms tend to be awfully pessimistic, and tend to treat not being pessimistic about stories as naive. (and when i say pessimistic, i mean that fandom tends to treat hoping for not the worst outcome for characters as naive.) i remember after shadows on the ship, a lot of people were saying we can't trust nureyev, that we never should have done so. and that kinda stressed me out at the time even though it actually being nureyev didnt even like. occur as a thought in my head. so! 1. the penumbra and recovery quoting savanah @mraudiodrama, "Penumbra has proven itself to be about recovery, about finding love and found family and i dont see Kabert as the type of writers to sacrifice such an emotionally complex character as Peter Nureyev and not give him that chance to find family and start to rely on other people and get mentally healthier for some cheap twist!" for my part, i think that its possible we might get some kind of darkest hour morality wise from nureyev, as in, he might end up as a villain in the next season but eventually change sides again. ill address this again in point 6, but im not sure if this will happen. hell, we could even end up with something like the end of s1 where the person gets exactly what they want from nureyev and ot just doesn't work how they expect it to (im pretty sure the curemother doesn't exist at this point.) also, I'll go over this more in point 3, but i think grtting betrayed like this would pull juno significantly back in his arc, and. like. we've seen juno's arc. its great. but i dont kmow if we need to go through it again, and it wouldn't be remotely as good this time because we dont live in junos head full time. 2. the penumbra and hope the penumbra podcast is not the magnus archives. its not the kind of thing where everything's gonna end horribly, its not a tragedy, unless kabert are worse writers than i think they are. after everything, nureyev betraying everyone like that would be pretty bleak. 3. gay people if nureyev isn't at least seriously considering turning on whoever his debts are to, his behaviour towards juno throughout cyberjustice is. uh. pretty bad and manipulative. the closer he gets to juno, the more badly it will hurt him if/when nureyev betrays him, and nureyev doesn't want to hurt juno. he was willing to give his name up to engstrom and potentially lose his life saving him from miasma, i just cant imagine him both deliberately getting closer to juno and planning to betray him because thats some cartoon evil bullshit 4. from a purely practical perspective audiences are fickle, and easy to piss off. and i don't think there's many fans that would like tje penumbra more if it turned out nureyev had been bad all along. hes on a lot of the merch, and i think the queer romance is what brought a lot of people here in the first place. the two episodes done as liveshows heavily feature nureyev. alienating your fanbase like that just isn't good when you're an online creator 5. the evils of capitalism i dont have a whole lot to say in this section. just that spending so much time on capitalism bad and then having a thief with large debts be an antagonist for any decent length of time feels kinda weird 6. i dont want to think about it because it makes me sad im gay leave me alone! so, at the end of it all, it basically comes down to "do i expect the penumbra to be well written and satisfying". now, i'm a firm believer in keeping a knife raised just in case you do need to kill the author, but for now? i trust kabert. im still anxious tho lmao

[its-pronounced-quoassoint]

Hello everyone

I just wanted to say I hope all my lovely followers and non-followers and friends have a good day. I haven’t had the best week but I’m doing my best to turn that around and I’m hoping that by the end of the week I’ll have a few things out!

So 1. I want to get the next chapter of the Power Rangers AU out

2. I want to get out chapter 1 of my IT AU out as well (more on that in a sec)

3. I also want to put out a little explanation of my Power Rangers AU and some of how that whole world works

So I don’t know how much I’m really going to be able to get out but I’m hoping to get some of you to maybe help me!

I want to have a beta reader for my IT AU, someone who can help me edit my grammar and give me some good criticism on it, so if anyone has the time or would like to please reach out to me for that!

And I’m also hoping to get some questions to sort of help prompt me on my Power Rangers AU world building thing. What are some questions some of you have about the world, what are some things you would like to know, etc.? Let me know! I could really use some help with this one especially!!

Anyway, have a wonderful day like I said before and love yourself please!! You deserve it!!
