@thespiralstaircaseoftime asked: To Haddock: How often do you cut your hair?

Well, im not going to be sharing that bloody information. When we were on the moon (thundering typhoons I hope the goat forgets that soon, he wanted to go back!!) The twits had a weird explosion of hair again and I had to help them out..i wish we had a lawnmower... but as a thank you they've been *trying* to cut mine and uh... tintins been taking photos

Without my consent

So i will not be sharing that information because I dont want them to say "oh its been a while since we've cut the captains hair! Haha let's do it again!!" If they pull that again IM GOING TO RIP THEIR-

you seem avoidant for a girl who’s so hungry to experience the full breadth of human connection

When I was 6 I had trouble getting to sleep at a normal time because I'd get so anxious and scared that I'd have nightmares. So my logical solution to this was having the Doctor Who Official 2011 Annual in my bed. I had plenty of toys I could've snuggled up with at night (and some were in my bed too) but no. I must cuddle this big ass hardcover book in the hope that matt smith as the eleventh doctor will protect me.

Extremely battered 2011 annual for reference

Me when the characters in a story start arguing and letting their nasty sides out and i get to see if their relationship can stand it, grow, or if ultimately they break apart. Or maybe even a secret third worse thing.

like how every single autistic person seems to have some version of what I call the impermeable membrane which is like this sense of a veil or film or sheet of glass between you and the world. Like you can describe it to someone and they’ll be like oh yeah my impermeable membrane/sheet of glass. like people will talk about how autistics talk and move but I think a lot of autistic people have a shared visual language as well. or how autistic people have different relationships to gender the way queer people do. That gender is performed which takes agency and skill and creative choice. Even the concept that a lot of autistic people have interests that don’t match their aesthetic or aren’t limited to one subculture creates a unique type of cultural dissonance that would be a notable feature of any other artistic culture or movement. Like autism not just being something that acts upon you (as it’s described by everyone else) but something that’s expressed through you with agency and skill

in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD

instead ask:

is it SINCERE

was it CATHARTIC

was it FUN TO MAKE

is it MADE BY ME

and don't forget to stay silly

Something neuroscience-y that helps with prose: attention is selective. A character will not notice everything in a room. They will notice what matters to their goal, fear, desire, training, wound, or obsession. A jealous character notices hands. a hungry character notices food. A soldier notices exits. A lonely character notices pairs. Description becomes character when attention has a bias.

Signs of abuse, neglect, or mental health issues in younger people often get turned into a joke or a stereotype and I think that’s worth talking about.

The depressed teen that hates their parents has been a trope for years. Saying someone has daddy issues or that their behavior is fatherless is an insult. People call kids “ipad babies” and make fun of their short attention span.

It’s dismissive. Dare I say victim blame-y?
