Venting through Sulemio.. it's difficult being strong, but knowing that you're doing so for the people you love, perhaps its enough to keep going.

I realised just how much I mask in regards to autism, cause i always thought of myself as "lightly autistic" or "high functioning" even though i know it is bad to use those sorts of labels. It was only until I realised just how much of my social abilities are founded on how i use echolalia. I repeat almost everything people say but I've taught myself how neurotypicals communicate, so I'm able to replicate regular social interactions even while mimicking others.
I've even realised there are some times where i go completely non-verbal except for the use of echolalia and specific scripts. Like- im like Bumblebee from Transformers. I stitch bits and pieces of my echolalia together to communicate when i just cant speak from my mind. Its weird and its the only way i can describe it.
Another thing that made me realise that I am probably, very, very heavily autistic was how confused I get by neurotypicals. Me and anogher AuDHD friend were talking about how neurotypicals differ from autistics in terms of logicalising our emotions and I realised just how different from neurotypicals I am.
And working at my new job (as a waiter), I've realised how much I rely on my scripts. If a conversation with a stranger or a customer follows the way i have practiced in my head, then I'm a social extraordinaire, the king of conversation. If they ask me a question I wasn't expecting, its like I can't understand english anymore, I start stuttering, i unconciously twiddle my fingers, I rip the skin off my lips with my teeth. Its so weird how jarring the change is, at least from the inside.
It feels good to know I'm not just- like- "neurotypical with sensory issues" like ive been interpreting it for at least a year. but it feels tiring to know I have my work cut out for me when it comes to unmasking.
FYI: I am an undiagnosed autistic with ADHD. I have done diagnostic tests and consulted a doctor who told me "yeah, you're autistic", I am just not in the financial situation to be formally diagnosed.

you know. sometimes when im trying to come up with a rain world oc i beat up myself a lot for "not being good enough at creating ocs" or the oc being "unoriginal" or not "creative" enough.
but. you know what? fuck it. i will make whatever makes me happy.
is the oc considered "too simple"? i dont care. it makes me happy.
the oc doesnt have a "good backstory"? i dont care. it makes me happy.
and even their design. their design is too simple? i. dont. care. if the oc makes me happy, then that is good and enough. do whatever makes you happy. seriously. look for the stuff that makes you happy, look for the stuff that you enjoy making. and then you will feel very good.
even though this is directed at myself mostly, i also apply this to my mutuals and. well. anyone really.
dont force yourself to try to make a "good enough oc". everything you create is beautiful, and that is all that matters.

Something about being plural makes any moment where my existence is validated, really intense? If that makes any sense.
For example, being acknowledged individually between switches. Or, for our headmate Mitten, she exists more in headspace or around the body rather than being a fronter. She needs extra acknowledgement to feel real and seen and cared for. Or even little things like seeing all my followers reblog my lil system posts with their tags. Seeing mutuals or familiar urls/PFPs.
Very nice to engage and interact casually/warmly with others who understand/relate to me. I love you (yes, you, even if i don't know you.)

i love your
I love your sometimes off-key singing voice. I love your messy, unbrushed hair. I love your mis-spellings and forgotten words. I love your unorganised spaces. I love your voice cracks and stammers. I love your acne and marks and blemishes. I love your eyebags and wrinkles. I love your hangnails and chewed fingertips. I love your forgetfulness. I love all of you. The bad parts. The imperfect parts. The weird parts. The human parts.
I love you. I love you. I love you.

A loser refuses to give up
Tumblr media
I might be a loser or not a professional but I still enjoy my hobbies and I never give up. No matter when I lose or at a low level I will be proud of myself and try again. Practice does matter 💪

I suppose that I might share some feeling regarding my own masculinity I've been having about myself to the world, perhaps some will find them relatable.
tl;dr - I'm AMAB, and while I struggled with accepting my masculinity, trans men made me feel at peace and safe with it, and I cannot thank them enough.
Now for the longer version:
For quite a while now (a few years, in fact), I have been struggling with my masculinity, as an AMAB person. I grew to feel super uncomfortable with the implications that came from being a "man", at least as it can be stereotypically understood. I know very well that masculinity has positive aspects, like strength or reliability, but being called a "man" made me also feel like someone automatically perceived as aggressive, or dangerous, or a sex pest, or a creep. As far as I'm aware, I am none of that - but I can't help that being "a man" makes me feel like someone who poses some sort of danger, or is a threat to those around them. It no doubt comes from experiencing toxic masculinity - more so from my peers and general society, as I'm thankfully privileged to have a normal family, where everyone is, well, normal and supportive and non-abusive. Still, that toxic masculinity, or hearing about certain men being just, fucking losers, made me want to detach myself from being called a "man".
This is partially why I embraced the identity of a demiboy. Someone mostly masculine, but still someone who does not want to call themselves a man. To be clear - there is more to my identity than just discomfort with stereotypical masculinity. I have interest in outfits and activities perceived as feminine, there are subtleties to how I like to picture myself in art, using a feminine name (Marcy) towards myself, using gender neutral pronouns (they/them) etc. - it goes deeper than just what I outlined above. That's a story for another day, though, what matters for this post is that I felt that unease with my own masculinity.
I guess this is where trans men come in. Briefly - over time, as I interacted with trans men and transmasc folks in general, I started to feel a weird sort of appreciation, maybe even jealousy for them, like I wished I was more like them myself. Eventually, I started to realise that their comfort and the gender euphoria they feel from being masculine made me feel more at peace and secure with my own masculinity. Seeing as one can feel genuine joy from being a man, from the masculinity they themselves worked to achieve, and from the positive aspects of that masculinity, while also rejecting the toxic parts of it... It just, makes me feel SO much better with myself as well.
Perhaps it sounds silly or obvious? But that realisation that I do NOT have to embrace all the baggage that comes with masculinity, and I can instead pick and choose parts of it, shaping my own version of being a man that makes me feel comfortable is something that made me feel massively better with myself. Being a silly guy gives me genuine gender euphoria - so I just embrace that "silly guy" part of masculinity, and give up on the toxic parts of it, like aggressive dominance, or hierarchical view of the world.
Going onwards, I don't think I'll be changing my pronouns from they/them, or drop the demiboy description of my identity. As I said - there is more to my identity that just discomfort for being called a man. But at least, I can be at peace with my own masculinity.
I genuinely have every single trans man and transmasculine person to thank for it. You made my life better, and I could never show properly just how deep my appreciation for you all goes.
While it doesn't really apply to me, I'm certain that trans women and transfeminine people have a similar influence for cis and gnc women. In fact, I have read a similar post from a female perspective before, and I have no doubts that this post influenced my realisation in how much more comfortable I am with my own masculinity thanks to transmasculine folks.
Trans people are a gift to this world. Their presence alone makes the world such a more beautiful place, period. I wish them all plenty of luck and joy going onwards! And once more - thank you all.

A piece on my personal healing in the last 4 or so months after the ending of a very unhealthy relationship
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
For about seven years I was in an on and off relationship with an old friend of mine who I met online when we were both around 11 years old. It always went the same way; I would get into a relationship, it wouldn’t work out, I would get out of the relationship, and they would reach out to me before we inevitably entered a 3-4 month relationship and then the cycle would always restart. This is fairly typical of teenagers I think. Due to growing up together, both in very toxic environments, we did a lot of mutual damage to each other whether intentionally or unintentionally — most during about middle school, but enough that it left a lasting effect. The nature of our relationship was always toxic, and we had always been at odds and without proper communication, but the finality of this last ending in the relationship, although inevitably a positive change, certainly threw me for a loop before I could really begin to open my eyes and appreciate the weight that has been lifted from my shoulders. I am posting this for my own clarity and healing, as well as any others it may help who may relate to it, but I should add that if the person I am speaking of in this piece or any of their friends manage to get ahold of this and want to reach out to me; please don’t. I am happy. I hope you’re happy too, and if you aren’t, I hope that you can be. Have a good life. I was just as tired of fighting that battle as you were.
with that being said, much love to anyone who sees themself in a difficult situation or may relate to/understand my perspective. You are strong and I am glad if this will reach anyone in a way that is helpful.
Thank you :)

One of the most surreal experiences is having a parent finally accept who you are after years of nothing.
She used the right pronouns without making a show of it. She just did it. That's all I've ever wanted.

And also because its my blog and i can do whatever i want here, i have some news and stuff abt me/ positive vent under the cut!! Please read it if it's possible ^^
I have not been doing well at all for the past few months, (but actually like, my whole life), but the good news is that i might finally get therapy soon! My parents got me some medication, and if it doesn't help me (which I'm sure it won't), they will be willing to finally help me! I really need this, i was really fucked up for a while, and i am glad to finally be freed from this nightmare. Sorry for the inconvenience and that i don't post as often these days, but I'm sure that when i get better I'll be able to draw way more^^ thank you all for sticking with me when i wasn't well at all and couldn't do much here. Thank you for being here even if all you did was just like some random drawing. It might not seem like much, but it helped me get reassured that what i do isn't for nothing and that my efforts are worth something. Thank you all
