The Idea That Being Autistic Is Now “trendy” And A Diagnosis Can Give You Social Clout Is So Laughably

i love anathema

i think as a fandom we do not give anathema enough credit. first off. - my girl has a PhD at nineteen

- that's right, it's Dr. Anathema Device

- she carries a foot-long knife on her at all times

- her bike is called Phaeton. a phaeton is a type of carriage. it has two horses and an open roof

- her first word was nice, her second was accurate. her first sentence was this:

I tell ye thif, and I charge ye with my wordes. Four shalle ryde, and Four shalle alfo ryde, and Three sharl ryde the Skye as twixt, and Wonne shal ryde in flames; and theyr shall be no stopping themme: not fish, nor rayne, nor rode, neither Deville nor Angel. And ye shalle be theyr alfo, Anathema.

- she spells like it's the 1600s

- she looks 'vivacious' idek abt that one

- she drew on the title page of the Book. she DREW in THE NICE AND ACCURATE PROPHECIES OF AGNES NUTTER.

- I can't do better than the actual quote for this one:

"Other members of the family had said that Agnes made things obscure to conceal them from the understanding of outsiders; Anathema, who suspected she could occasionally think like Agnes, had privately decided that it was because Agnes was a bloody-minded old bitch with a mean sense of humor."

- she's an actual witch

- she's nineteen? like my girl is doing all that at NINETEEN.

- when she loses The Book she methodically looks for it, then chaotically looks for it, then melodramatically falls to her knees and bemoans the situation then looks around because DRAMATIC STRUCTURE dictates The Book should be there

Thanks for coming to my ted talk, Yours, an anathema fan.

a milestone

goth fashion is a parody of old money. the sooner you understand this the sooner you can unlock the full potential of your inner darkness. also stop buying from shein.

I walked past a goth shop today and it looked really cool so here's a drawing about a goth shop :-)

the beautiful thing about ADHD is it can take you down many paths. within minutes you might go from checking if there's any holidays soon to discovering a national holiday to raise awareness for a little known disease and then suddenly you're spending your morning down a wikipedia rabbithole and you're rapidly experiencing the joys of learning and connecting the pieces of the universe together and entering a higher state of enlightened being. or at least having fun.

the horrible thing about ADHD is all that's nothing but a useless distraction from your REAL purpose in life: being a capitalist drone

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
