So, like, I just really wanted to write this down and like others have talked about this but like... most of y'all prob know the whole saying of "autism is a superpower" and all that. And that's all well and good, and it aims to encourage people to see autistic traits and behaviors in a positive light, and notice what they can bring to the world.
But do people think about this?
Autistic people aren't superheroes. They're people. Humans. Humans who think and breathe and laugh and cry and feel.
Autistics are not these crazy, weird anomalies to dissect, to study. We are not an attraction to laugh and talk about. We're people.
People who have struggled and been misunderstood and isolated because this world was not built for us, because we do not have the tools necessary at our disposal. Because no matter how hard we try there will always be those people. Those situations. Ones we are not able to handle like others do.
And this isn't just autism! It also goes for other neurodivergent or people with mental health problems - and even problems with physical health! We do not fit in the category of "normal" that has been fabricated by society that puts people in groups and places some higher than the rest, so we become this weird, alien thing to look down on and study.
We are not aliens.
We are people, just like the rest of you.
i think we deserved to see more of nico and bianca as siblings. like im talking 3am in the hades cabin, theyre arguing and hitting eachother over what cheeto flavor is the best. they have eachother as babies as their lock screens. they learn what escalators are together. nico appearing at the foot of bianca’s bed “i frew up☹️.” theyre laughing hysterically in a quiet room to the point they cant breathe. theyre gossiping in italian while walking out of school. theyre filming stupid tiktoks together. nico cheered the loudest at bianca’s graduation and vice versa. they swore they were never going to speak to eachother again after disagreeing over what voltron character is the best but broke after two seconds. “will, if you want to date nico, you’ll have to get the sister’s blessing first.” just. theyre siblings ok.

oh no he deffo just disappears. goes poof. hell be on his roadtrip w ty, chilling (as much as he can considering, yk. everything), and back home jessa will be freaking tf out, thinking hes been kidnapped (or kitnapped- k ill go see myself out) or smth
You know what I’m really curious about? How the fuck will Jessa let Kit go with Ty?? JUST LIKE THAT??? They’ve been protecting him for years with all the wards and stuff and they will just agree to let him go for probably a crazily dangerous (for him at least) mission??? There has to be smth to it, either Kit just disappears from home or idkkkkkk
Do you think Kit Herondale has ADHD? and do you think that because Ty is autistic, his POV is very different when he writes?
I guess I'd say that if you as someone with ADHD relates to Kit, that is cool. Like I said, there's not a wrong way to relate to a character. But I didn't write him consciously as someone with ADHD because if I had I would have done what I did writing Ty — months of research and not writing the character without consulting with sensitivity readers who themselves were people with autism. I wouldn't have felt I was doing a character with ADHD justice without doing all those things.
I do think Ty's neurodivergence would impact his narration of a story, yes, so I won't be (and am not currently) going to be writing any parts about Ty (whether he narrates them directly or not) without multiple sensitivity readers consulting before they're edited. That is why you have not seen much from Ty snippet wise from TWP. I would not even want to post a first draft publicly without consultation, given the possibility of hurting or upsetting someone with representation that doesn't feel right.
Hello, My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become harder than I ever imagined, and I’m writing this with hope in my heart that you might hear our story.
The ongoing war has devastated my family. We’ve lost 25 family members—each one a beloved part of our lives, taken too soon. I miss them deeply—their laughter, their presence, their love. Every day is a reminder of this unimaginable loss.

We are now facing daily challenges to survive—things that most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams with the constant fight for survival.
💔 Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income. 🍞 Basic Needs: Food and water are becoming harder to afford with rising prices and scarce resources. 📚 Dreams on Hold: Like so many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive. 😢 Unimaginable Loss: Losing 25 loved ones has left a void that can never be filled.
I’m sharing our story with the hope that someone out there might care. Even $5 can make a big difference for us, and if you’re unable to donate, just reblogging this post can help spread the word.
Your kindness, no matter how small, is something we’ll never forget.
Your support is not about changing our entire situation—it’s about giving us a little relief, a little hope, and a way to keep going. We are not asking for much, and we understand if you can’t donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as a donation.
Thank you for reading this far. It means the world to us to know that someone is listening. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.
With all our gratitude, Mosab Elderawi and Family ❤️

Im sorry scarian for my betrayal but...
ok, reading tlbotw and yk whats rlly sus? magnus feeling fine. like not just saying he is, but actually feeling it. cause, yk, he just got stabbed by some magical evil demon thorn sword and is now... oozing magic? regardless its weird, especially considering they have a CHILD and magnus should be tired from that, and even mentions before how max's sleep schedule does not match up w him and alec's. and on top of that, cassie mentions it multiple times.
theres this one particular time that made me go from "thats sus" to "thats RLLY sus", which is where the book goes, "“I feel fine,” he said, and realized he was telling the truth. He felt good, even, as if he’d had a full night’s sleep and a proper breakfast instead of barely any sleep and Jace’s too-strong black coffee".
Like, thats so sus. that thorn is DEFFO doing smth to magnus.
GEM APPRECIATION POST!
@dronepikachu is doing a geminitay appreciation week this week! I may not do every day, but I have been really enjoying drawing her recently, so here is her hermitcraft s9 look :3
Okay added in the cheek scar! You can honestly barely see it
Okay so I made Pac fanart. It looks like shit, but tbh it's, 1, my first piece of digital art, and 2, my first fanart. Also, my pen tool thingamy was broken so I drew this with my finger. Enjoy!
