I realized that essentially all of my favorite book characters have autistic or ADHD traits. Taylor Hebert (Worm) and she's the same from the funfic "A Wand for Skitter", Murderbot ("The Murderbot Diaries" by Martha Wells; there is also a coincidence in my agenderness and grey/asexuality), Lenie Clarke and Ken Lubin (Peter Watts' rifter book series), Harry Potter and Hermione from HPMOR ("Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality" by Eliezer Yudkowsky), Miles Vorkosigan ("The Vorkosigan Saga" by Bujold), Ciaphas Cain and his loyal assistant Ferik Jurgen (Warhammer 40,000, Sandy Mitchell).

Overall, this is not surprising given my personal history of ADHD and autism. The funny thing is that I began to reflect on the topic of my own autism precisely after I read the Murderbot Diaries and came across a discussion of the character’s autistic traits. I was undermined from within by the thought, “What if all this bunch of coincidences are not just coincidences?”

Much was the same, but some things were not characteristic of autistic people, but at the same time, they were clearly not characteristic of the majority of people around me. I don’t remember the first time I heard about ADHD, but I immediately recognized some of my traits. When I read that ADHD and autism are often combined, I decided to take tests online first... and got high scores on both topics. Then, the doctor officially confirmed it for me. Bingo.

Well, for the- what, fifth time now? I have pored over the pages of Peter Watts' Blindsight/Echopraxia and Rifters trilogy. The man knows how to write a fucking good sci-fi novel. Absolute gold standard in my heart. He makes the debate of conciousness actually interesting to me, and although many of his characters are post-human entities they are still very much just people. His worlds are dark and strange and real even in their unreality.

I love you Peter Watts, and I look forward to anything you put out in the future.

Peter Watts’ The Rifters trilogy, especially Starfish, is what always comes in my mind whenever i’m at my lowest, darkest point (the pun’s fully untended).

I wanted to do the variations of black here, an attempt to create an almost completely black drawing. I don’t like how it turned out.

I got a little sick. I had to run to the doctors yesterday, and a funny story happened in the hospital. I’ll tell it when I feel better. Now my throat hurts, and my whole body aches - this is clearly not my best form for writing.

I really regret that due to poor health I can’t craft anything or train. I hope I feel better soon. First of all, I'll go to the pool: the feeling of being under water is one of the best physical sensations for me - a feeling of peaceful detachment and at the same time close contact with space around.

That’s why Watts’ Rifter book series captivated me so much.

Video from one of the training sessions.

Inktober Day 20 — Frost

Ashley is having a moment

The original concept was that I would ink this and then color it, adding frost patterns and swirlies (because Ashley has ice powers) but I ran out of steam, so. Imagine there's lots of frost there. For her sake.

“Don’t lecture me in my own field! We’ve got language and speech centers hardwired into our brains. That gives us a common starting point. Gels don’t have anything like that. Speech might just be one giant conditioned reflex to them.”

Art for a fun idea where @larissa-the-scribe ‘s oc Lyn as a very little girl gets lost in the Fae realm for a day of two and gets adopted by secretly-soft faerie that just wanted to take a nap in the sun... but the little human is gonna get hurt or worse if left to wander alone so. Someone’s got to babysit 🙄
