The thing about making OCs to me is there are three things that are most important to know when making them

What sort of traumas have they ensured that would make them act completely "out of character" in one situation or another

What sort of passions or hobbies do they have that would make them weirdly knowledgeable in a certain area or really happy about something. The more useless the better. This guy knows nothing about the history of colonialism in Fairy Land but he has an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of the tomato trade with the Dwarfs or whatever

What sort of weird kinks do they have that would make them get so horny they act completely "out of character" in one situation or another

These are the cornerstones of OC inceptions to me. Specific traumas, specific interests, specific kinks. Does half of it show up in writing? Absolutely not, but when you know it, it's a good thing to be able to incorporate into a scene that otherwise feels a bit dead or lifeless.

the point of art is not to be great but to make it transparently obvious that there is something wrong with you

Local PSA: invisible disability does NOT mean you can live your life like a "normal person" invisible disability meant that if a stranger looks at you in public they wouldn't know what's going on.

Like if a wheelchair user were to decide to run into a corner store to grab a candy bar because they know that their legs can last that long without, the cashier wouldn't know.

Or someone with "mild" scoliosis walking upright through their shoulder leans slightly to the left. Maybe they just have bad posture. The lady in the next isle thinks to herself.

The person with EDS or POTS or whatever sort of condition wearing compression gloves out and about. Perhaps it's a fashion statement?

Or what about the people with intestinal issues? They can look like "normal people" too.

You never know what someone is going through.

You never know what they might need to survive or if they're on the edge of a flare up or even if they are currently going through one just by one look.

I think both disabled and non disabled need to realize this. You're not "no longer disabled" because you can "live without" disability aids. They're there to help you. To make your life easier. If living without a cane is going to make it more likely you'll fall over and hurt yourself, use the cane.

If you need to sit down to do dishes or cut vegetables because you need to save your legs for taking out the trash, sit down.

If you need a shower chair because you don't know if you'll pass out, use the shower chair.

People are going to judge you regardless for multiple reasons out of your control.

I'd rather they judge you while you're being safe.

You don't need to struggle to be "normal."

You can just be you.

However that looks for you.

Use your disability aids.

being aromantic and into whump is like. shoutout to whump for being a great opportunity to engage with stories about intimacy and vulnerability and powerful emotion and physical interactions with other people and intense relationships that are not presumptively based in romance. what would i do without you.

Sorry if I'mway out of line for asking you this, please ignore this ask if it makes you uncomfortable in any way.

So do you know if individuals with autism enjoy being tied up? Im autistic and I feel comforted by i because it makes me feel safe. I feel the need to be compressed but I don't really have a way of doing so. Weighted blankets don't really help unless I wrap myself really tightly. I get overstimulated and one of the only things that calm me down is restraining myself.

I was just curious if this is normal.

If it's normal do you have any tips and safe self restraints?

Hey hey

I can't say anything about self restraints because I haven't done that BUT-

There is an account I follow and love on Instagram, @queerquechua, who talks a lot about rope binding and restraint as a form of stimming for them. Highly recommend their account, also for their discussions on trans joy, their connection to water and nature, and their spouse who is equally badass.

I think it's the same principle as weighted blankets, really. The sense of something holding you in place can be really soothing and combat overstimulation. I can't do weighted blankets myself because it's too MUCH surface area, but like having a small weight right below my collarbone, usually a folded heavy quilt. I also am a fan of rope, too, and find it really calming.

But yeah. I think it's very normal for the autistic brain to get a lot of soothing and comfort from restraint and to have it as a stim. But just be safe, make sure you can always get yourself back out of it.

stop freaking out about getting old and start planning out what kind of old person you're gonna be
