Aziraphele: Oh Crowley...nothing Lasts Forever

Things that make me (autistic and goth) a vampire:

Sun? No, thank you. Instant kill.

Counting everything. Please don't throw rice at me.

Invite me directly. "You're always invited". No, I have to stand at your door and you have to say "Come in", else I can't physically enter.

Did someone eat garlic like 5 days ago? I can tell.

You don't want to be informed for three hours about the different sounds bats make?

Black cloths. Everything else is too overstimulating.

Very formal and rigid way of speaking and behaving, almost like a dark lord in 1894.

"I've recently started this hobby... wait, this was a decade ago?"

Autism Acceptance Month: Autistic Headcanons

“Well, I read through that Handbook for the Recently Deceased. It says live people ignore the strange and unusual. I myself am strange and unusual.”

extremely fucked up that one of the symptoms of adhd is forgetfulness and difficulty sticking to habits and schedules and one of the best ways to alleviate those symptoms is by remembering to take a pill every morning at the same time

There are no disabilities which are raised above ableism. The person in the wheelchair, the autistic person, the person with schizophrenia and the person with an invisible chronic illness may all experience society's ableism in different ways, but none of them can expect to avoid it. So the "you wouldn't say X to Y" advocacy needs to retire yesterday. They say all kinds of ableist shit to all of us and it's time to try out some actual solidarity instead of arguing about who has it slightly worse

my thing with vampires doesn't even have the decency to be one of those childhood obsessions ("I roleplayed warrior cats on the playground and now I have a cat fursona" "I used to think I was a wizard as an undiagnosed nd kid and now I'm all about gandalf big naturals"), this happened to me in my early teens. it's barely even an academic interest, I got there eventually but I had to deliberately shoehorn it into my major. it's not even something respectable like a kink or other sick and twisted sexual perversion. no, this is something far, far worse.
