Save me Marvin Jacksepticeye,,, Save Me,,,

I went really overboard with the galaxy under his cape don't mind me I really like stars and galaxies

Also his mask too,,, it's not at all based on the mask I have,,, naur,,,

And a little extra fact of my version of Marvin I'd like to include: his hair (once naturally brown) naturally turned green due to his magic so now he dyes it brown to seem less conspicuous

Have this version of him too cause I couldn't decide which hair color I liked more

#my partner. who's been into JSE as long as I have. has said this is the most Marvin version of Marvin and that's a HUGE compliment #my little autism #with his t-rex arm #I wanna smooch him #in a gay man way #Marvin #Marvin the Magnificent #Marvin the Magician #Altrverse #void silver #jse #jse egos #jacksepticeye #fanart #art #jay draws #digital art #reference sheet #marivn reference #I made his pants too shiny but it's fine

[trigger warning: mention of sexual assault]

the specific breed of queer queerphobia is just as if not more frightening than non-queer queerphobia, specifically in this case as it relates to acespec/arospec people (terms which will hence be combined into "aspec" for the sake of clarity, see the tags for a quick note about this)

if it's not already clear from my posts, i am very supportive of the silenced, erased, and shunned parts of the queer community. i involve myself a great deal in breaking down the walls that queer people have decided to erect in order to determine who does and doesn't get to call themselves "queer". nothing breaks my heart more than seeing other people who experience the world in a way starkly different from perisex, allosexual, alloromantic, cisgender, heterosexual people, get shunned from a family who also experiences the world in such a difference way, simply because it's not different "enough", or not different in the way they want to be different

aspec people will always unquestionably be queer, regardless of anything else that would or wouldn't make them queer. period.

aspec people should not and should never need to "justify" themselves to attend pride, not just "as an ally", but as someone whose relationship with romance and sex (the act) differs from what is expected of a "normal" person. they are inherently different, they are inherently queer. full stop.

aphobia exists, regardless of whether or not you follow your blatant bigotry with "no it doesn't". you cannot erase your shittiness by following up your shittiness with "by the way, I'm not being shitty". and if you know you are being aphobic, and you are proud of such a thing, rethink the way you see queerness as a whole. you are a vile human being, and should unlearn the oppression olympics. you not only are an athlete in it, but you are the obstacles. you are the fucking problem.

aspec people regularly face discrimination and harassment for being aspec. the comments of "why do you refuse to give me grandkids" and "maybe you just haven't found the right person yet" and "you're broken" and "you're going through a phase" have all been said about gay people, about lesbians, and about aspec people. aspec people face violence for being aspec. aspec people face corrective rape for being aspec. aspec people face crocodile tears claws that intend to "help", aspec people face blood and claws that intend to hurt, aspec people face real, visible hatred. and even if they weren't "oppressed enough", WHICH THEY UNDENIABLY ARE, 1) there isn't an oppression goal someone needs to hit to become valid, and 2) queer people should not be defined by the oppression we face, anyway.

"b-b-but what about cishet asexual people!!!" i have never seen a sentence less scary in my life. cishet people can be queer, you know? cishet people can be intersex (if they choose to identify as queer), cis people can be asexual and aromantic, pericishet people can in fact be demisexual and heteroromantic, and guess what? they're still queer. they still differ from what's "normal". they're still allowed to pride, because pride is not meant to gatekeep.

pride is meant to celebrate our differences, to fight against those who try to suppress us, and to unite those who feel crushed by the heel of normality.

so don't fucking do their job for them.

I haven't actually watched a lick of star trek but. People on the @autismswagsummit poll between them said they would be friends, and going by what little I do know of Data, I'm inclined to agree!!! So here are the them :) the two cat loving autisms....

o7 to all the trekkies btw, sorry that your boy lost 😔 but as a reminder, op of the summit potentially has something in mind for those who did, so!! Keep your head up kings. Also a reminder to everyone to be nice to the poll maker and others, it's literally just a silly tumblr competition jdhdhh

[ID: art of Data from Star Trek and Mob from Mob Psycho 100 interacting. The background is a pastel orange and the characters are done in lineart and with light shading and highlights. Data is slightly smiling as he holds his cat, Spot, and Mob, who is standing next to him, is smiling as well as he carefully pets her, Spot stretching her head up to meet the contact. End ID.]

#am i hyperfocusing on a tumblr tournament of all things?? .... maybe just a little bit. no i dont know why #gotta say tho my favorite thing about all these polls has been learning about new characters #and seeing ones that i would have never in my life imagined in each others vicinity be drawn together. so i wanted to add to that!! #anyways as might be obvious this is my first time drawing data so i hope its alright. i have homework now to do augh.... byee 😞 #data soong #star trek #kageyama shigeo #mob psycho 100 #autism swag summit #my own art #spot star trek #art #described #my own post #aughhg looking at references im really not satisfied with how i drew data actually. whatever whatever i dont have time WHATEVER!!! oug

ynow i always feel like caffine does absolutely nothing to me

bc i can have coffee and im feeling anywhere from on any given day: tired sleepy, riddled with anxiety and/or hypersensitivity, and 🧍 emoji irl

then days where i give the coffee a skip, i can range from: tired sleepy, riddled with anxiety and/or hypersensitivity, 🧍emoji irl

i dont think days with coffee strike me as any particular state more than others compared to days without coffee

#using autism creacher as a visual reference #i dont think the caffine helps with anything #it just enters the body then.... nothing #autism creature #autism #adhd #potentially #its a heavy part of the adhd selfdx #that and the memory #autistic #actually autistic #coffee #caffeine #i did stop drinking it for like 1-2 weeks and i felt the exact same as when i was drinking coffee #i stopped bc eczema flare up and was trying to find out if it was the coffee causing it #spoilers: it wasnt the coffee #i also didnt have any withdrawals? maybe i havent been drinking that much/long enough to get withdrawals? #no headaches or whatever in that timeframe #ofc i do also get days where im brrrrrr and i git the energy but like #thats not a coffee day only event #this one is doing numbers just a lil bit huh

Okay clear shot of the new outfit is great but I still want turnarounds, HAT MAN. WHERE IS THE CONCEPT ART. IT'S BEEN OVER FIVE YEARS.

I love it already though. I miss the wolf/World Between Worlds motif on the belt buckle but the flower is neat too. Reminds me of the White Lotus logo from Avatar... which now I'm thinking about it is probably intentional since Filoni briefly worked on Airbender too. 🤣🤣🤣

#Yes I know it's basically the same outfit she's *been* wearing just white/light blue-grey but STILL #at this point it's the PRINCIPLE OF THE THING. WHERE IS THE CONCEPT ART FILONI I NEED IT TO DRAW HER #I NEED ACCURATE REFERENCES MY AUTISM WON'T LET ME DRAW HER WITHOUT IT 😭😭😭😭 #K8 Rambles about Star Wars #Ahsoka #ahsoka series #ahsoka spoilers #star wars #ahsoka tano #ahsoka the white

As someone with a terminal "badly written JRPG villain autism" diesase thank fucking god that Cassette Beasts only referenced Greek philosophers everyone and their mom knows about like Socrates or Plato.

And Diogenes because Diogenes is funny.

#kirika talks #cassette beasts #this post is brought to you by ''had there been a seven sages reference i would've combusted and dropped the game'' #because again. badly written jrpg villain autism #iykyk

couple miscellaneous adbot doodles from the last few days! a string puller doing what it does, talking heads and crowd pleasers gettin' along, and a new oc, mach popeil. voted cog nations favourite infomercial host for the third month running, he's a beloved tv salesman with a small burgeoning fan club and a smile sharper than this free* set of steak knives!

my shirt that says "i don't have an eating disorder" has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

#text #(this is a reference to another tweet i dont have a shirt that says that) #ed tw #weight loss tw #talk about weight in general tw #like yes i eat the same thing almost every single day & have to force myself through every bite #no i dont have an eating disorder #i just have autism and anxiety and its making my life a little bit unliveable at the moment ❤️ #i know i also have arfid which yes is an eating disorder but not like. in the way people probably think of if they look at me during #a meal and judge the way im eating and decide they think i have an ed (which i know is anxiety and nobody does that but still) #but i probably wouldnt get diagnosed bc im at a ''healthy weight'' #even tho i know that for My Body it's not healthy . i was eating relatively well for a brief period of my senior year of high school #& very briefly my freshman year of college #and i got to around [number] both times #and they were both short periods of time so i still dont know what like. a healthy weight would be For Me and for My body #but i know a doctor would tell me my weight rn is Normal and Good and that if i gain weight thats Bad and Wrong #even though i am definitely not eating enough and not getting enough Fuel For My Body To Work Right #its such bullshit. also i hope whoever invented the bmi kills themself #Well anyway. swagever ive been eating one singular slice of pizza for half an hour so i gotta get back to that

Ausium be damn…this boy made Diary Of a Wimpy Kid fanart!!!!!!1111!!!!!

Yeah.

Sooo on Reddit (and Tikitok) there this comic/LLB (Look Like Books) called Dysfunctional Perspective and I binge read the whole series and it’s very cool and I think the art style is cute. Basically the comic is Greg is a unreliable narrator and the Heffley family is abusive.

I deleted my Reddit account so that why the fan art is on here. Lol

in therapy today i just talked about the dark urge and astarion and my therapist was elated about it. it was fantastic. “wow you’ve really been using this story and those characters to process things. that’s amazing!”

the era of being ashamed of my interests is over. it’s apparently Cool and Healthy to use fiction to cope. i wish i could tell fifteen year old me about this it would blow her mind

#she speaks #arctic plays bg3 #bad brains blogging #you’re gonna have to pry SFF from my cold dead hands because ‘this creature is not human but nonetheless a person’ is THE most #important thing ever actually #i love taking my feelings and experiences and externalising and concretising them through metaphor #my favourite thing about astarion is how he both has literal cptsd AND metaphorically through his vampirism #that fucking rules #also shoutout to another thing therapist said today: #she was originally sceptical of my potentially having autism #then she was like ‘ok you have some traits but you’re probably not diagnosable’ #then today she was like ‘you make so much sense when one thinks of you through the lense of autism’ #amen sister i’ve been right there with you #but now i’m getting my second assessment soon! which won’t change anything about me i am and will be ‘tism-y regardless #but it’s going to be interesting to see what happens #also i told her about my WISC scores and she was like ‘jesus christ tell them to evaluate you for adhd too’ so uhhh #they already screened me for that and i believe i tested negative but let’s see #the WISC score was why i was even referred for an assessment so

Personally, as an autistic person, I love people being flabbergasted about pronouns. Oh wah wah wah you’re having issues with how to refer to people?? Baybe I’ve been struggling not to refer to myself in the second person since 1997, don’t @ me until it takes you 20 years to remember which way is right and which way is left without making an L with your fingers

#i’m kidding btw pronoun discourse is exhausting #and dated!! haven’t we figured this out already? i’ve been here since 2010 i thought Discourse was Over ™️ #referring to myself in the second person? oh yeah baby #misgendering cis ppl b/c all language sounds like simlish? hell yeah brother #actually autistic #autism #<- i wish these had the rainbow tags too lol #lgbtqia #lgbt #gay #lesbian #trans #queer #bisexual #i just like the colors tbh #homosexuality #<- iirc this one doesn’t get the colors which wow hahaha how… typical #nonbinary #didn’t realize i’ve been using they/them my entire life talking about ppl i wasn’t specifying because it felt right? #wasn’t even tryna be woke pronouns are just hard mang

Uhhh… so I am now no longer holding true to the idea that the writers didn’t intend for Donnie to be autistic at first 😭😂

#yes yes I know #Sheldon ew #me too #but I understand how he’s unfortunately kind of the first thing neurotypical people think of when they’re trying to go for ‘’autistic’’ #considering he may’ve been a reference? #im amazed by the representation we got /g #rottmnt #rottmnt character designs #rottmnt production #rise Donnie #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise donatello #autistic donnie #tmnt #autism #but like… literally why do those HAPPEN to be the two visual references 😭 #biceratops

#this is about how the term 'neurodivergent' has been watered down to just referring to adhd or autism
