Guess-i-do-art - Swan's Things™️

Twitter/X thread from Victoria Duncan on X:
"At some point, very early on, undiagnosed neurodivergent children are faced with a terrible dilemma.

They will tell someone they're in pain, someone they trust, and that person will say no they're not. That didn't hurt. It can't have. They're being selfish/dramatic/lying.

The child has to get their head around it. They feel pain, but a trusted caregiver says they don't and they're being bad for saying so. How can it be true?

There are only two, bad, options.

The child may choose to believe the caregiver and decide that they are wrong about their pain. They will make this choice again and again over the years and slowly learn to ignore their body until they are barely connected to it at all. They learn not to trust themselves.

Or, the child might not be able to ignore the reality of their pain. In which case, they have to give up on pleasing their caregiver by keeping quiet as demanded. They learn that adults won't believe or take care of them. They learn not to trust other people.
I think whichever choice you make, you carry the rest of your life, disconnected either from your own body and experiences, or from other people and meaningful relationships. Maybe both.

Anyway, diagnosis is the only way out of the dilemma. It's the only way your reality can be different from other people's without someone being at fault - is if you have a word like "sensory overwhelm" to explain the difference.

That's why diagnosis changes lives & why people want it so much.

This is about saying you're in pain because of sensory overwhelm, but it can also be about saying you're tired from sitting still or socializing or reading and someone says you can't be. Saying you "don't like" an activity you find hard, and having people assume the worst of you.

say what you will about steven universe but it's objectively hilarious that arguably one of the most toxic ships in the series is just. two coworkers at the same shitty minimum wage food service job

Here Is My Combined Fandoms Au Thingy…? My First Real Fandom That I Interacted With I Believe Was My

Here is my combined fandoms au thingy…? My first real fandom that I interacted with I believe was My Little Pony. Currently I’m hyerfocused on Warrior cats!

I’ve seen people do this before so it’s not that weird I guess? I think it’s neat!

I drew Fluttershy as a Warrior cat! I call her Flutterheart. She gives off medicine cat vibes 🫶

My Friend Told Me To Draw Ice King With Pancakes And Bacon 🧐

My friend told me to draw Ice King with pancakes and bacon 🧐

I’m about halfway through Adventure Time right now, I just made it to s5 last night. And oooOOOHHHHH MY STARS THE LORE IS INSANEEEE

Most people tend to draw AT fanart in a style similar to the show’s, so I attempted to do that while also combining elements from my own style 🤨 idk it kinda worked

Someone hold me back before I purposely look up spoilers because I can’t control myself

He looks like a little fox in the second picture 🫶

I Said I Would Eventually Post My Lars-centered Steven Universe AUs And I Will Not Disappoint

I said I would eventually post my Lars-centered Steven Universe AUs and I will not disappoint

I may have said this before but whenever I like a character I tend to pour a bunch of extra trauma on them as a way of showing affection 🤷 I have a weird obsession with Lars so… this happened

This AU doesn’t really have an official name, I just call it my Villain Lars AU. Pretty self-explanatory 😅 I think this one is my all-time FAVORITE that I’ve created!

The base of this AU is basically “what if Steven’s revival powers didn’t work immediately? What if they took a couple hours or even a couple days?” The Diamonds discover Lars’s body, he comes back to life inside the palace, Yellow takes interest in him. Some stuff happens and… villain Lars 😈 White tried to mind-control him, but it didn’t work since he’s not a Gem, but she can very much influence his thoughts and actions.

Songs of the AU: Hell’s Comin with Me, Hayloft II, I Had Some Help, Without Me
