(Hello, sorry if this sounds weird/rude, idk how to phrase this sentences tbh)
I really want to start writing fanfics, but I keep repeating the same word 3 times in the sentence and I don’t know how to phrase it in any other way to get around it, or making the sentence sound weird, and I keep having to relying on Google to type or using my iPhone mic speaker (it sometimes doesn’t work 50% of the time)in the search engine and type “spell [insert word here]” to recognise the words or know what it means, idk if some of that is because of autism or not.
Do you use any software application/apps to help with writing,
Also side note: when I’m trying to text to somebody on discord, I keep thinking the text I’m typing sounds rude, but I’m not trying to make it sound rude??, and then I just feel really high anxiety about it, is that normal???
Sorry for the long gibberish text lmao
Hi! This isn't rude or weird at all, don't worry! I also get really anxious sending asks or asking for advice, you're good.
I'm not the best person to ask, since I'm still very new to writing and I'm still figuring it out myself, but I'll try my best! Putting it under a readmore because it got long
I personally don't use any apps to help with writing. Google docs has some built in features, like autocorrect or suggestions about word choice/placement or grammar, but that's about it. I've heard Grammarly is good?
For spelling:
If autocorrect isn't working I simplify the word then look up synonyms for it. For example, if I'm struggling to spell "delighted, then I'll simplify that word to "happy", and then google "happy synonyms", and keep looking up and searching words until I get to it.
This is also very good if you're struggling to think of a word you need, or if you don't understand what a word means. Adding "synonym" to your search works wonders, for me at least.
Another option is beta readers! They read through your work and can help with things like spelling and grammar, etc. I get my sibling or mum to read through my shit all the time, and I'll go to friends for advice as well.
For actually writing:
I know exactly what you mean with the getting stuck on a sentence or word and not being able to get around it. I had been wanting to get back into writing for around a year and this always stopped me and made me give up, it's only recently, the past couple of months, that I've started to actually commit to writing and get around it. I still get caught up in it!!
A couple of things help me! The main one is sometimes you have to let yourself write Badly. I have multiple docs of when I first started to write again, and it's all bad, but making myself write it, without expecting to publish it, helped me figure out what works best for me. And more importantly, it helps you get back into the actual habit of writing, and gives you something you can go back and work on. It sucks, and it's hard, but sometimes you just got to write the world's worst sentence.
If that's not working, just bail. In all of my wips, I have half completed sentences where I was really struggling and couldn't get around it, so I just stopped and worked on something else, something easier, and then when I think I can try again, I come back to it.
Breaking to down into really simple sentences also helps, to have a foundation you can build on. Most of my fics start out like "Sonic and Tails have a talk about why Tails is upset. Tails is not making eye contact and is looking at the ground. He says that he didn't like it when Sonic ate his mints without asking. Sonic apologizes and says that he didn't know they were Tails' mints." Even dot points would work. Just the bare basics, and then now that I know what exactly is going to happen, I can go back and start actually Writing it.
One thing that helped me actually figure out how to write was reading other people's works, and noting what I really liked about their writing. What pacing choices, word choices, how they use actions and dialogue etc etc. Even doing things like "hmm I would've used a different word there or swapped the order of those actions" can help you figure out how you want to write.
I hope this helps? I'm not sure how much sense it makes sorry akgfdkjh

hi! I saw your post requesting requests and figured I'd bite.
In terms of free time and hobbies, I enjoy collecting things. Whether it be mushrooms and flowers from the forest behind my house, trinkets found in antique stores, an ore or mineral to add to my rock collection, diagrams of steam and diesel locomotives, or bones of small critters, I probably have a small amount handy somewhere. I actually do enjoy gifting random stuff I find as I am collecting shiny objects. So definitely not a hoarder situation, mind you.
As a person I've been described as "a gremlin with crow like tendencies" by close friends, which, fair, I guess. I like giving more than being given gifts because we got that childhood trauma and religious/debt guilt up in this bitch. (I'm bitches and God bless America ig.)
To those who don't know me well, I come off as intimidating because I always scowl and rarely speak. Which is not true, my face is just Like That. It's hard to express emotions man, thems shits confuddling. Don't even get me started on the difficulty of speaking vocally, you cannot autocorrect sounds and it's hard to describe things in the moment!
But alas, the Autism decided I shall take the L and stutter when confronted into a social situation.
I'm partial to Liyue due to my ancestry, and appreciation of culture present in its lands. The story of the Adepti fascinates me, and I can see that a lot of Chinese mythos and auspicious symbolism is placed into this love letter to Chinese history. And the music! I can listen to Azhdaha's boss theme and never tire of it. I can relisten to the tale of streetward rambler and Guizhong and fail not to cry doing so. It's so rich in history that I cannot help but feel in awe of it all.
And my favorite element? Geo. Because I vibe with it deeply. It's the element of foundation, stability in life's tumultuous waves of chaos. It's sturdy and tenacious, which I relate to as the eldest sibling growing up protecting my younger sibling. If I were a Geo Vision wielder, I'd probably be a shield/tank character, because I'd be able to protect those I hold dear from danger.
Yours truly,
🪨 Anon
omg do i have my first anon right here??? if yes i'd love to make a list of anons 💔 i loved writing this so much, so please gimme more, i'm begging
Tumblr media
Zhongli!
He probably finds it fascinating that you collect so many little things, especially the rocks and minerals. He would love to go on long nature walks with you, I feel you would both learn new things with each other's company and knowledge.
When he saw/heard you say that giving gifts you like more than receiving them his heart melted, you definitely have his interest won. Little by little he would try to convince you to accept small gifts that he can give you, like taking you to antique stores, to restaurants or bringing you new ores that you are missing in your collection.
The first time he saw you and got to talk to you maybe you found it awkward or something like that, but it was certainly impressive for him to try to get to know you and your interests more closely.
And the fact that you are related to Liyue thanks to your origins only makes it more interesting. It makes me think that maybe you met him by doing more research on the topics you like.
In short, he would love to hear you talk and then give his own opinions or read you some of the old stories that only he knows so well, adding facts to make sure it is something more detailed to what you might have heard, he may want to surprise you to keep you closer to him.

i am like. sincerely at the end of being able to do literally anything at all right now besides lie in bed. i am in so much excruciating pain mentally quite literally the only thing i’ve been able to do today is sleep, have ptsd nightmares during sleep, wake up from each individual nightmare the entire night - then stay awake in bed all day, crying for hours on end. exhausted is not a word that can encapsulate even relatively fucking close to how i feel. holy shit.
i can’t even think clearly. i can barely write this post (thank you autocorrect lmfao) and crying this much is considerably abnormal for me, my body physically cannot cry easily, and yet i’ve cried essentially this entire day.
does it actually get easier? does having severe mental disabilities i have to rearrange my entire fucking life around to the point simply walking out the front door and going to the grocery store with my wife for maybe 20 minutes tops feels like climbing an overstimulating panic-inducing mount everest, does *that* get easier?
or is that something people just say to keep me here. my wife says it’ll get better, my friends do, but at what point does that actually happen? i have never gotten to live a normal average life. i’d give anything in the world for that, i sincerely would, i am so fucking tired of this.
autism not too bad today? alright how about your ptsd then, oh not that? okay then your schizoaffective disorder is going to fuck with you all day, maybe a manic episode that’ll last for weeks, maybe a depressive episode (hi i’m in one right now! haha!!!) or maybe you’ll simply be scared out of your fucking mind that each and every person that cares and supports you actually wants you dead. OH actually how about a combination of all of these? yeah we’ll mix it up today and do that instead!
i can’t take it anymore, i truly can’t. everyone’s words of reassurance feels like nothing to me. i’m scared to hope for a good future when it’s repeatedly been snatched away from me so many times, over and over and over and over again.
i sincerely can’t do this anymore. i’ve tried so fucking hard and it’s not enough. it’s never ever enough. i’m not enough.
i don’t care what happens to me, i can’t live a life like this. it doesn’t feel worth it anymore. all i do is plan around disabilities that affect me so severely and quite literally dictate my life, i don’t feel i can live any even relatively decent quality life this way, but it’s not something i have a say in - sure, accommodations but those only go so fucking far. they don’t help with this as a whole, nothing fucking does. i’m so over this. sorry for this rambly clusterfuck of a post but i’m so tired, probably said that too many times already. it’s the only feeling i feel right now.
i might use my private blog for a few days, i just need to be alone with myself for a bit lmao, so if i do disappear that’s where i’m at.

Anxiety attacks dont make any fucking sense. Usually I know why I'm having one, but never see them coming.
This time I could feel it coming on, for over an hour. I thought having music would make the difference, but its not my stim music, so of course it wouldn't work. But I dont know why. Its not money related, I dont feel like my friends hate me.
I'm just scared. And tender, if that makes sense.
I dont understand all of this, as is blatantly clear by my saying "I dont get it" in every autism/anxiety/panic attack related post I've made in the last 6 months. Does anyone? Are we supposed to analyze this and apply logic to an illogical situation and...reverse engineer it?
Because I can't fucking think straight to save my life right now. I had enough presence to plug in my phone and dig out my ear buds.
I think fondly of the days when I would feel anxious and just push it down. Then get a migraine a day or two later.
The common trigger (as unoriginal as it is) seems to be staying up too late. And here I am tapping on my phone instead of trying to sleep. But is there any point in laying in my bed next to my partner and shaking, sighing, and twitching? Why disturb her? Even though I feel guilty on the nights I dont go to bed.
I might pass out in 10 more minutes, or lay in bed until day. How did I get here? I went from calm, confident and capable to a mess practically overnight.
I masked so hard I didnt know I was. I didnt know I was suppressing everything, I didnt know I was making myself sick. I thought I was feeling things in the moment and moving on.
Then seemingly overnight (maybe a couple of weeks, it was disturbingly quick) I didnt take my armor off in stages, I ripped it all down to nothing. I have no protections: anxiety attacks in the grocery store, an inability to move some mornings, a crushing weight on my chest, a racing heart out of nowhere. Right now I'm shaking so badly autocorrect is doing most of the work.
There wasnt any point to this. Not really. No one who might read this hasnt already gone through it 1000 times. This is old hat, not that it diminishes the severity.
On a positive note, they do seem to be coming less frequently. I'll take it, its a damn sight better than 5 or 6 a day, laying on my floor gasping for hours.
Same rules as always: scroll by if you want. I dont ask anything of anyone, even to read it. Not like I'm comfortable enough to actually say anything here. This is all vagaries, which makes me mad at myself. I need to be hoenst with myseld and those around me, and in some instances I just can't. Because I am a coward and I'm afraid of how people react.
This is just making me spiral, and I just want to send it before I delete it.

Hello Tumblr!
I'm moving here from Reddit due to API policy changes over there, and even though I personally don't use 3rd-party APIs, there are many people who do, plus I just think it's stupid regardless. Even though I bet that the only people this will reach will end up being people who already follow me, I still want to say that if you were following u/Blood_Covered_Bread this is in fact me. If you go to my Reddit account, this blog will be linked both directly AND in the Resite link I posted due to linktree not working for me. Don't expect a lot of content here (or anywhere else) though because I still have a negative amount of motivation to do anything other than scroll through shit and play ACNH.
I'm still a fairly new Tumblr user though (and I'm neurodivergent; on a year-long wait list for Autism testing + I was dx with ADHD at 6) so please be patient with me. I also type quickly so please feel free to point out spelling mistakes, as I don't have autocorrect and either miss red-lines or the error isn't caught in the text due to it being a legitimate word.
I'm into Ace Attorney and FNaF, but am open to looking at other people's fandoms and OCs.
My Specs are:
Windows 10 home edition
HP Laptop that is about 4 years old - Hand-me-down from my uncles' fiancee after she used it for college
12 GB of RAM
900+ GB of Storage (I've used like a third of it though lmao, might get a TB when I figure out what kind of storage add-on I need)
According to Avast Anti-virus (free edition) I have 14-16 outdated drivers
64-bit OS and processor
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz 2.40 GHz (Copy and pasted from my settings)
Touch screen with 10 touch-points (Yes, really. I don't even wanna know how much this cost brand-new)
Main browser is Firefox
In other words; my laptop is expensive but also dogshit, and I use Firefox.
Did you need to know that much about my laptop? Nope! But I don't care because at least I didn't dox myself.

Now that it's calm........
A lot went down and I want to apologize to everyone because that was not the intention whatsoever. I have not made commentary because I did not want to fuel the fire, nor was it my intention for others to become involved.
Let me make this very clear.
I AM NOT DOXXING ANYONE NOR AM I BITTER ABOUT BEING BLOCKED.
STAR'S CLAIMS ARE FALSE AND SHE IS PURPOSELY PAINTING ME AND MY FRIENDS AS VILLAINS BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT WANT TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR HER ACTIONS. THIS IS A PATTERN SHE CONSTANTLY HAS AND PREVIOUS PEOPLE SHE HAS KNOWN HAVE COME FORWARD SAYING THE EXACT SAME THING ABOUT HER, SHE'S KNOWN TO CONSISTENTLY PLATFORM HOP TO AVOID ACCOUNTABILITY.
I blocked Starlatte first on Tumblr and then on Discord because she repeatedly crossed boundaries and as an adult, I felt the need to draw the line of communication there. The claims that I'm retaliating for being blocked are false and just straight petty.
The post I made was just to warn others and Star was never named in the post. SHE chose to publish Cherry's ask to publicize what was happening even after Cherry asked her to keep it private for her own safety.
I genuinely worry about Star, but she does not want to be helped, she wants to be enabled and a victim. I was civil with her, I really was. But I never claimed to be her best friend or ever said I would denounce the people she hates so much. When she first approached me about what-the-hazbin, I told her to prioritize her own mental health over my blog. She insisted she could handle it but still unfollowed me. I never took any negative interaction personally because she's a minor and I'm the adult.
Also, I am not affiliated with the people she pissed off earlier in the week due to her ignorance on the sex worker community. That's their beef and the fact that 2 different groups (fans and criticals) are saying the same things about her should be pretty telling.
(Readmore for more info but tbh, I don't like super long posts so I'm just going to ask that you DM me if you need me to clarify more)
Just.....take it from an adult who's already tried to deal with her nicely, do not personally interact with Star. She has an extreme parasocial relationship with Vivienne Medrano and just cannot keep being enabled by newcomers. We could've just blocked each other and left it at that but she always needs to be the victim and stir up drama, this is your warning sign if you've ever been hesitant about your interactions with her.
And yes, I still believe she is lying about her age. As I stated in my original post, someone already reported her blog under "harmful to minors". Again, if Star didn't blow this up as much as she did, nobody would know her dirty laundry. Tumblr isn't known for the best tech support, we all know this.
I believe she's lying about her age because she keeps miscalculating and claiming different ages. I know she's shown her "proof" but she's conveniently leaving out the part where she claims she was 12 in 2014 (meaning she's 19 turning 20). She also keeps switching between it being Autism that forced her to make the mistake in numbers, that her phone forced it, that her laptop forced it, that it's because Tumblr doesn't have autocorrect. It's a new lie for her everytime and she needs to stop being so harmful to herself and others. If doxxing was my intention, I would've done it without her consent. I wouldn't have allowed Cherry to reach out to her. Because yes, Cherry asked me if she could and I said it was fine but not to expect much since Star does not want help. If I wanted to doxx her, I could've done it a long time ago because she's always posting too much personal information without any prompting. She's been approached about this before and is hostile to anyone who points this out with an excuse that she's a minor, has Autism, is a POC, etc etc
I know Star's patterns and know for a fact she's been making posts about me after blocking me herself. I know this because again, I've seen her do it multiple times to other people. I took this chance when I blocked her and knew she'd throw a fit as soon as she saw that I was still civil with the people she wants everyone to hate. Which again, she wasn't supposed to see in the first place due to being blocked.
Feel free to verify the information about me yourself, I'm really sorry everyone that got involved had to be in the first place. But I promise you, Star is not a victim of abuse from her former friends. She's the main one with the abusive and manipulative behavior with the idea that she can control people and Vivienne Medrano.

Everyone is talking about the hug scene from sk8 and how that's the canon scene. No THIS is the canon scene.

Can we talk about how reki literally fills the hole in langas heart that was left there after his dad died? How he made him feel like he had purpose again? And how episode 12 perfectly captures what the last stage of grief and finally letting go/moving on looks like?
Like... pls,,, these screncaps.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The whole show kinda revolves around the grief of langas father and the effect it had on not only him, but his family, and the people around him as well. And episode 12 wrapped that up so nicely. Because langas dad would've wanted him to eventually find someone who shared the same burning passion and drive as him... and that person was, reki. All he wanted was for his son to move on and enjoy life and have fun, and that's what he did.
In the end, I think sk8 was really well done because of this aspect.

reasons why Viktor Nikiforov is AutisticTM:
❄️He doesn't understand emotions very well and has a hard time describing his own, especially when it comes to romance.
❄️He's very hypersexual and relates being in a relationship to sex because he has a hard time describing the actual emotions that go along with a relationship, where as sex you can feel.
❄️on that note, he heavily relies on touch to understand people and how they're feeling, and the only way he knows how to cheer up others is through physical touch.
❄️ He doesn't really understand social cues and boundaries in general and like,,, whats appropriate and whats not appropriate?? like how he constantly wants to sleep with Yuuri as "bonding." Most people just say its because thats normal where he comes from. but even when Yuuri tries to tell him no, he still tries to??
❄️ skating 👏🏼 special 👏🏼 interest 👏🏼
❄️ lastly, he's very straight forward and monotone and doesn't relly think before he speaks, and when he hurts someone's feelings he has a hard time comprehending why.

Ok so my thing when people hc characters as autistic, specifically neurotypical people, is that they always go for the very stereotypically autistic-acting character. They always go for the quiet one that likes routine or is a picky eater. Like, those traits are great traits to base your headcanon off of, but don't always just go for the quiet picky eater that likes routine. This is coming from a quiet picky eater that somewhat likes routine, but the thing is, those aren't the only traits I possess, I can be hyper at times and I love being around people and physical touch, but I'm no math savant and I can't type a proper text for the life of me without relying on autocorrect lol. Just,,, Please, think outside the box when making autistic headcanons.

I'm going to embarrass myself for science
I did shots for my 21st birthday. And decided to take notes because that's what I do. Here are the completely unaltered notes. May they be useful for writing or at least enjoyable to read.
Personal experience:
Coordination definitely shot but my instinct is that it isn’t, def. bad
There is a layer between and the world, might be nice if I didn’t crave a sense of control
-I meant between me and the world, is that my coordingation not working or something else?
Less instinct to censor, but still an ability
-might be cause I don’t want to get super drunk and am therefore not experiencing maximum drunkenness, but if my character has high tolerance might be fine
-also people might just take alcohol as an excuse
Thank god for autocorrect, again the lack of coordingation is real even I my instinct is that it is not
-later addition: might be interesting storywise? Maybe not
-is that a autism thing (thing took three tries to spell) or a practicing metacognition thing being able to tell I mean
-not having double vision, is that a real thing? Do autistic people not have it?
-I am having trouble tracking, prob. Because my lazy eye. Still no double vision
-this is maybe 7 shots in 3ish hours. I drank when there was a murder scene in Deadpool 2 nd that’s also how I timed it. The 7this the limit in terms of making coordination much worse. And the things below
-limbs are heavy, so is my head
-probably my reacctions are slower, hard to tell they are always shit
9- now everything is vague, I am forgetting things once they happen, still not double vision, just inability to describe things. I said forget, but it’s more like they fade into vagueness
-quiets the part of my brain that is analysing and double analysing everything social or otherwise
-now my vision is swimming
-alright that’s it I can’t do this anymore
-might take notes on a hangover, that’s probably not gonna be fun but I am curious so I want to experience it once.

I wanna make some things clear.
My thoughts about Ariadne are my thoughts about the way she chose to treat Anna. It is not about her choice to stay in an arranged marriage to a man or to hide her sexuality, AS I EXPLICITLY SAID: “Ariadne agreement to marry Charles Fairchild is not what I’m angry about. I don’t judge her for being discarded (though I meant to say scared but autocorrect sucks) by her adoptive parents, and I don’t judge her wanting children and family. These were different times, and even though I would like to believe I would have lived by my own truth like Anna, I don’t know if I would have.. I can’t, because I don’t know how it is to live in those times.”
It’s quite simple, I never said anything about her choices in life, because I don’t and can’t judge her for them.
I judge her for taking for granted that Anna will chose her way of life without even asking her, for her lack of respect towards her, and for making fun of Matthew for being different. Yes, it’s not alright, and I’m allowed to hold that opinion. Making fun with her posh friends about Matthew’s interest in fashion is not alright, and yes, it’s a scene straight out of mean girls. I don’t care if she’s gay herself - THAT’S NOT AN EXCUSE. If Julian is acting like an asshole, I’ll call him an asshole. I don’t care if they’re male or female. I don’t care how morally grey or bleached white they are. Characters are complex, and they do shitty things. Our responsibility as readers is not to blindly say amen to everything they do just because we love them. Criticism is important, it’s crucial. And I will not be silenced.
In regards to Ariadne being a woman of color - I’ve written here before about how life changing it is to have representation in literature, to have characters that you can see yourself in, especially if you’re a minority. I do not, in any way, think any less of Ariadne because she is a woman of color. I’ll say it again, in case you didn’t bother to read the whole text: I DO NOT, IN ANY WAY, THINK ANY LESS OF ARIADNE BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN OF COLOR.  
Cassandra created a world in which the color of your skin does not make you different. That is one of the most amazing things about The Shadowhunters Chronicles. Shadowhunters do discriminate: downworlders, lgbtq+ people, people with autism, people with mental health issues.. and any kind of different. THEY ARE NOT SAINTS. THEY ARE FLAWED LIKE THE REST OF US, they just do it, hypocritically, towards “their kind of different”. Cassie even wrote, through one of the biggest bigots of them all - Valentine, that shadowhunters don’t concern themselves with “mundane racism”. That’s funny, coming from that man, but it shows quite a lot about the difference between their world and ours. She gifted them with one single grace - they don’t care about the color of your skin.
I’m not saying Cassie did an amazing job with her representation of POC, but this post is not made to defend her.
And last - You can’t call me out as a homophobe just because I criticize a character for doing something I feel is wrong or hurtful. You don’t know the first thing about me. I’m a queer woman. I’m married to a trans person. I’m an activist. I have a mind of my own and I will not be silenced by this hate.

Uuupdate
The medical field is full of wax maggots (I actually typed wackadoos, but autocorrect is a gem). I finally went for my eval for adhd meds, and the psychiatrist fixated on some shit from my past, starting 30 years and nothing more recent than 5 years ago, cut me off after hearing exactly what he wanted to hear from any response to the Extremely Leading questions he posed, and then proclaimed that I have bipolar disorder and prescribed me anti psychotic schizophrenia meds.
Um. What. Literally zero people who actually know me could make sense of this business, least of all myself, who has been constantly examining and analyzing my own behaviors for a decade, and trying to improve who I am as a functioning adult, despite the overwhelming laundry list of autism spectrum & adhd symptoms I manifest on the regular.
There's no way I'm going to fill in a monthly mood chart (lmao what) OR put those drugs in my body, solely on the overt pretentious word of someone who seems to be, as my friend and coworker called him, the physical incarnation of the patriarchy.
Once I mentioned the name of the psychiatrist I'd seen at the hospital, a coworker immediately broke in with, "Oh shit you just had to say his name; that guy's an utter Knob!"
They absolutely fixated on something that wasn't ADHD, despite me saying to the initial doctor that my counselor believes I have it and even recommended a specific medication to help, because, and I quote, "The doctor believes that too many people have already been diagnosed with adult ADHD and he doesn't want to contribute to that. " That's not your call! You're job is not to avoid examining the data just because you don't believe in it; your job is to see if the recommendation of the previous medical professional who's been in direct contact with me for 3 years is correct and try to help them help me.
It was the most frustrating 45 minutes of my entire life, being asked to speculate on my entire family's medical history, when I don't know any of them. Answering questions that had no relevance to my current struggles with finding solutions to what I've been going through. When I asked when we would get to the point of why I was even at the hospital to talk to them I was told, "We'll get around to that," and then we never got around to that.
Turns out, the clinic doctor that wrote my urgent care referral did NOT EVEN INDICATE MY THERAPIST'S RECOMMENDATION. There was no indication of a mental health issue beyond "depression, anxiety, and PTSD, " all of which I have, but the psychiatrist kept trying to make me tell him that I would go on manic highs and spend money by gambling, "and then backtrack? You'd backtrack or get the money back? Right?" I've literally never gambled. He'd pressure me to tell him about my sexual "escapades" while on these "highs", murmuring a disclaimer that he was not a voyeur, he just wanted to help me because this behavior will escalate and it'll become very dangerous for me to be left alone. Um.. I'm asexual. He literally didn't want to listen to anything I had to say that didn't fit his narrow line.
I'm pretty pissed off still, because he fed this whole scenario from the most random flotsam of my life into a narrative he'd decided before entering the room, and left me zero room to actually talk about why I was there, not to mention all the traumatic bullshit they triggered by asking me about every bit of grief or trauma I could remember.
I'm seeing my counselor on Wed and you're Damn sure I'm talking about this to her.

do the lady i fancy from the expanse (possibly naomi? idk im love her face)
i’ll do all of them because im love their faces too
Naomi Nagata (Belter/mohawk/neck tattoo/Roci crew)
sexuality: bi 
gender: peace and nonviolent action
mental illness/neurodivergence: i know i say ptsd a lot for characters but it fits a lot of them so yeah. ptsd. and definitely anxiety - like the type of anxiety that presents itself with a lot of intrusive thoughts about things going wrong and doing stuff that you never would irl. distraction helps a lot with that, so she does that by studying up on technical papers and listening to a lot of langbelta rhythm music. 
3 random headcanons:
she got her tattoo after completing her studies and completing her first engineering job that included a particularly harrowing solo EVA
during her tenure as Chief Engineer of the Canterbury, she took on even more engineering coursework in order to provide the crew with the best technical performance possible. She held classes of her own for those who wanted to learn, and was happiest when people showed enough improvement in their skill to earn a promotion. 
her favorite way to stay fit is dancing - whenever she’s on a station big enough to have a club or a disco she’s There in some sorta fun athletic getup ready to work up a sweat and get those endorphins pumping
Chrisjen Avasarala (Earther/Padme Amidala and Laura Roslin gemfusion/Fancy with a Capital F)
sexuality: pansexual
gender: whatever she goddamn likes!
mental illness/neurodivergence: depression. she’s been living with depression for a LONG FUCKING TIME and she knows how to deal with it, yet she wishes more than anything that she could go back to when it hadn’t stripped her down to bleeding flesh and teeth and took the color out of the sky and made her feet disconnect with the ground. She wears such heavy jewelry so that she won’t float away because she’s scared of the stars, and rightly so, because mercy is a myth no matter how tightly gravity grips you. but going forward is the only option, so it’s one foot in front of the other.
3 random headcanons:
her signature gin and tonic was something she sneaked under her parents’ nose during a fancy party they had once when she was like 14. she did the ratio of alcohol to tonic water all wrong and she probably did a terrible job of hiding her buzz but hey... u think she’s being all classy and shit when she’s drinking one of those but nah. she’s reminding herself that being young and stupid is always an option and to not take things so damn seriously
she actually HAS been to a lot of the Sol system in her early Diplomacy Days - it was important for her as a young, up-and-coming UN Employee to go out and interact with the people she’d be influencing later in her career. she’s been as far as Ganymede Station and marveled at its ecological advances.
has broken one of those flimsy glass phone thingies because it was autocorrecting her swearing to saccharine euphemisms
Bobbie Draper (Martian/i’ll kick ur ass i’ll kick ur dogs ass i’ll kick my own armor’s ass i’ll kick these cucumber sandwiches asses mm tasty)
sexuality: aromantic pansexual
gender: DUTY. HONOR. JUSTICE.
mental illness/neurodivergence: she’s the only other character besides Amos that i see as autistic, though in a very different way. She’s praised and extolled for her gifted and practically innate abilities and she has a very black and white view of things as a result of her trained morality and it takes a lot for her to really get out of that and start criticizing the authority she’s been conditioned to respect. I love her bluntness too, and that’s definitely an autism thing to me because she carries it into her interactions with her squad vs. just addressing her military superiors with that traditional clipped military tone. there’s also the cucumber sandwich scene. like... that’s #relatable content right there.
3 random headcanons:
her whole arm wrestling her suit thing is based on something she used to do with her dad. He always used to let her win until she figured it out and got burning mad at him and refused to talk to him for a week. He then stopped letting her win and pretty soon the tables turned and she had to start going easy on him (but not too easy).
she had one really bad haircut during her MCRN Academy years and whoever makes her remember it is doomed to regret it
i might be focusing too much on the cucumber sandwich scene but like... non-military food is such a heaven for her and as an officer she had a small stash of snacks and she’d save up her salary to buy local foodstuffs from her current assignment location to keep and share with her squad.
