Idk who needs to hear this but just because you don’t exhibit observable emotional outbursts doesn’t mean you don’t struggle with emotional regulation. You can remain outwardly calm and pleasant to others and be internally screaming and panicking and wanting to bite and hide and throw up. It turns out that is not a neurotypical experience. Most of the people around you are not habitually covering up massive internal emotional upheaval. That is you struggling with emotional regulation.

Hi! Sorry I didn't respond to your message. I got overwhelmed and my mind popped like an overloaded fuse and I turned back into a confused and disoriented 6 year old version of myself.

Having a partner who isn’t social media brained is so awesome. They send us tumblr posts but don’t really post anywhere and honestly it’s great

a lot of the DSM’s very clearly prejudiced diagnoses (e.g. hypoactive sexual desire disorder, gender dysphoria, transvestic disorder, etc.) try to skirt around the prejudice by saying “the disorder lies in the patient’s distress over being this way, not the behavior itself :)” like hmmm do you think their distress has anything to do with societal expectations around “normal” sexuality and gender? or is distress just this magic thing that exists in a vacuum with no outside influence

like keep in mind that homosexuality was in the DSM until pressure was put on the APA by gay rights activists, and they “removed” it in 1973 and replaced it with many different diagnostic labels over the years to describe “this person is gay and distressed over it so we’re treating the distress with conversion therapy. blease don’t think we’re homophobic.” it wasn’t until 2013 that distress over one’s own sexual orientation was removed entirely from the DSM. do what you will with this information and begin to wonder what psychiatry’s actual motives are for continuing to pathologize queerness and gender nonconformity.

very large dragon picking you in her claws. your dedication is both cute and frankly impressive but she doesn’t even know how you would go about doing that. you certainly cannot impregnate her (even if the idea is slightly titillating)

[hemipenal-system]

no, little human, she cannot “bounce on it.” she would crush every bone in your body. oral is also out of the question because you like having skin and your tongue isn’t big enough to feel like anything for her. you definitely wouldn’t even survive her penetrating you for more than a few minutes, they’re each the size of your leg. perhaps cuddling would be more appropriate

[Argyle] We are micro dosing “not being a people pleaser to everyone and anyone anymore” by blocking or muting people on social media who we enjoy the creative works of but find to have an aggravating personality. Feels good. Sorry to [name redacted] your art and your pet photos are lovely but your posts while logically understood to be well meaning come off to us as both self aggrandizing and patronizing as if all of the world needs to hear your every PSA, and therefore you go to the shadow realm next to the other artist who we love the art of but who makes passive aggressive comments on all their art about how it must be trash and they’ll never be popular because it doesn’t get enough reposts. Best of luck to you and your journeys but you are unbearable and therefore we will no longer bear it just to see furry ass or whatever
