Dahling you simply must read this book! It’s all about this devious little caterpillar who simply gorges himself on all manner of divine things

What I feel people frequently forget about autistic special interests is that they aren't always information based. They may simply be visual or mental

Someone may have a special interest in a show, but instead of that meaning that they will talk about that show often, it may mean they watch that show extremely frequently.

Special interests are ways of regulating, not simply encyclopedias we have in our heads. Sometimes it's watching something frequently. Maybe only listening to one genre of music, maybe it's a collection, maybe it's an action. I'm tired of it only being seen as autistic people's personal encyclopedias

wait. holy shit i did this with rise of the guardians. and the book of life. and trollhunters. i ltierally watched rotg so much i memorised not only the script but the WNTIRE soundtrack. book of life less so. trollhunters its mostly lore… i did that…

okay this is the last time i'll do this

i just felt like proving myself for a bit doing this one ever since i saw that one reddit post banning 'the night before' templates

[avikkiva]

i was looking at your art summary over the years, and i adore whatever choice you made for your art in fall of 2020, it's like you stopped drawing the hyper-thin stylization of people that's common in art these days and started drawing real people. hopefully that makes sense, I love how human and realistic your art looks, especially in the facial structure and body types. thank you so much for your incredible art! have a lovely day

Oh, I understand what you mean about the hyper-thin stylization and I agree! It's so weird to realize that for me it felt ordinary and standard? I didn't even think about them being thin, I just thought they were "normal". And it's scary to realize that many artists really do perceive the stylization of extreme thinness as the universal norm and any depiction of slightly fat people as fetishization 😕. I'm going off topic auhh I'm so glad that someone relates to such details! Thank you for your kind words and have a nice day!! 🌸

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream but with 60 clones of the same guy

I've been loving the hell out of Living the Dream and I've always had one Mii who I absolutely adore. If you've ever seen my account, you know who I'm talking about considering I draw him all the time; Quit!!!!

^ here he is on my main island. So I decided I wanted to run an experiment: I would make an alt save with 60 of the same Mii. Every single Mii will be a clone of our beloved Quit (seen above) with the exact same personality, voice, face, dating preferences (all Quits can date all 3 gender options), everything. The only difference is that 20 of them are male, 20 are female, and 20 are nonbinary (because I'm curious on if Mii gender impacts how a Mii forms friends). It was a lengthy process making 60 of the exact same Mii, but finally...

Welcome to Quitland. My general rule for this save file is that I must interfere as little as possible with the Quits lives. I'll only give them food, new clothing, treasures, or new housing if they directly ask me for it. I can't force any relationships either (barring the tutorial which forces you to do so). I want to see how these 60 clones all grow and adapt, and how they will eventually differentiate themselves. I had put all 60 Quits in at midnight so right after doing so I decided to head to bed. I then proceeded to spend the chunk of my morning doing quite possibly the stupidest thing ever:

Creating a giant pixelated Quit to put on the ground. From there I learned about something kind of interesting. Turns out when you create 60 Miis all at once, with all of them having no little quirks, friends, or really anything to define their AI past their basic personality, they become... ...kind of stupid. Here are some examples of small groups of Quit randomly choosing to follow one "leader" Quit for no reason. They REALLY enjoy doing this. Its not uncommon for small packs of Quit (usually containing 2-6 members) to just stalk another Quit for extended periods of time. I believe they are developing pack-hunting strategies. This scares me.

They also enjoyed talking. A lot. My entire island is just constantly full of random Quit chatter 24/7.

I'll admit though it is very rewarding just seeing all of them standing about, doing weird Quit things. I feel like a proud father of 60 single-celled organisms.

Also I got quite possibly the funniest Tomodachi Life clip I've ever seen:

There ain't a single brain cell between any of them. Honestly it was really fun just watching them frolic about, like an ant farm made entirely up of brainless homunculus.

In terms of actual development between the Quits, some of them became acquaintances and a few even became friends, but the REAL development was between Quit 1 (known as Original Quit) and Quit 3:

Quit 3 started crushing on Original, and just a few minutes after that Quit 3 surprised me by deciding to just up and confess to Original. This was pretty shocking...so far, every other Quit has been fairly reserved in making relationships. While plenty of them became "like-minded" (not surprising considering they all have the same mind), few were brave enough to become friends, let alone lovers. Perhaps Quit 3 is some kind of deviant Quit???

Well lucky for Quit 3, their boldness ended up paying off...and Quitland got its first couple!

I wonder how long it'll last... Besides that, only one other romantic event happened. Which was Quit 48 developing a crush on Quit 28. (I know it's hard to tell that this Quit is different from the Quit above...but trust me, its a different guy.)

...could this be considered an example of egomania...? I mean they look identical...

And that was about everything interesting that happened on day 1 of my little experiment. I might post more if anyone has any interest in the Quit ant farm. This is a little different from what I usually post so hopefully the people who follow me just for the art don't mind a bit of a change lol. To end off, here's some group pictures after I finally unlocked the photo mode:

Personally I'm a really big fan of chicken Quit right now.

This post is… EDIBLE?

[mephistopheles]

yall i swear to god if a bitch says her pronouns are she/her then her pronouns are she/her

[mephistopheles]

my close friend from uni was a cis girl who had the audacity to wear pants and cut her hair short and like nobody at this school, a place OBSESSED with ‘respecting everyone’s gender identities,’ would call her ‘she.’ after MONTHS of this she started wearing a fucking pronoun pin to work and i dont even think that fixed it. me, im sorta androgynous; i have shaggy self-cut hair and go by a neutral name, but i always say my pronouns are she/her, and people ive worked with for months and have introduced myself in front of fifty times will STILL reflexively say ‘they’ for me. i respect the progressive circles i run in, but this IS evidence of misogyny. people’s definition of “woman” or “girl” is so narrow and high-maintenance that even the tiniest deviation from the norm gets you forcibly defeminized. but it’s a compliment, right? like who would wanna be a girl anyway?

[mephistopheles]

replacing an inescapable gender binary with an equally-inescapable gender trinary is stupid 🩷

Victor Glover (Pilot), Artemis II - April 4th 2026

[brainbleedo]

The crew crying as they become the furthest people from earth, the naming of the Integrity crater and that bright spot Carroll after Reid's wife...

I love humanity, I love how we go to the moon and we name that bright spot after someone loved. We name that crater after the little craft that carried them so far.

Something about us being so small, barely making a dent in the universe, but still going with love.

Apollo 17 vs Artemis II

[mementochao]

Despite everything, it's still you.

That's really cool actually

[tanoraqui]

#excuse me but are you telling me that the Apollo pic is made with the help of the SUN and the Artemis one with the help of the MOON??? #that's actually so poetic i want to cry

@gorandomshesaid wait i need to sit with this one. wait.

[ukulelekatie]

Discovering an unnamed crater on the moon that no human has seen with the naked eye before and requesting that it be named Carroll after your late wife is quite possibly the most romantic gesture I’ve ever witnessed
