Girl You've Been Running Through My Mind All Day

HOly fucking SHIT-

Guys I just had a complete Shellstrop style “holy motherforking shirt balls” moment at work about Donnie’s unusual speaking patterns. You know, when he does this:

This tendency to narrate his actions in the third person or verbally say onomatopoeias in place of the sound is uh… well it’s autistic right? Look it features in literally every compilation but no one knows why other than “vibes, sometimes it just be like that 🤷”

But NO. No it NOT be like that. I finally know what this fucking nerd is doing, hear me out…

… he’s scripting.

Think about it. You know what else describes action, emotion, and sound in purely words? Books. He has these little speaking quirks, yah, but if you actually zoom out and see the whole picture, Donnie talks like he’s a narrator. This makes a SHIT ton of sense considering we already have textual evidence that he engages in scripting behavior (more specifically some possible echolalia. See: saying “New York! What a Town!” in any situation something kind of abnormal happens after he hears Splinter say it with the exact same infections and everything.)

And we also know from the mystic library that Donnie actively seeks out and enjoys reading. So it stands to reason an autistic 14 year old who likes to be left alone to work on complex machines a decent amount and takes pride in his intellect would model the way he communicates off of written media as opposed to tv or his brothers. He could fill his social tool box with lines from Jupiter Jones and Lou Jitsu movies, but he may think it would give him less of a chance to properly express his capabilities.

Books are also the only form of media that can literally just tell you flat out what a character’s expression or emotion is supposed to be without it being awkward, which would be really appealing for Donnie. What solidifies this for me is the fact that at least once he verbally says “sad face emoji”, which could not have come from a novel or textbook. But we often do flagrantly use emoticons as tone indicators, and Donnie is constantly on his phone.

I think he’s definitely aware that this is not a regular way of communicating, but he’s clearly also self aware of his issues in getting his emotional meaning across and receiving input back. So it stands to reason he would accommodate this in a way that, yes, makes him sound odd, but is at least effective.

Now for my final little “I’ve connected the dots. I’ve connected them” moment, I headcannon that Donnie learned to read before he fully got the hang of speech. Aside from… literally everything I just said, he uses sign language to tell the squirrels to blow up his treehouse in that one episode. But he does the sign for “make” a bit incorrectly (there should be a slight twist in his upper fist), which leads me to believe he was probably taught baby sign out of necessity rather than being fully proficient in asl. This is fairly common for autistic children with speech delays.

Brother, a bag of flour costs $250 in Gaza. We don't have anything to feed our children at home. Please, imagine your children in my place. Do something for the innocent children who are starving.

Intersex infographic, just to clear up some common misconceptions.

Only intersex people may add info in reblogs, perisex people learn to listen.

Edit since this has gotten traction : If this infographic has taught you something or you've found if useful, consider donating to a disabled intersex person so I can afford medication and food

My Ko-fi (anything helps but no obligation)

once again repeating what im saying on twt but in a less toxic website with no character limit

im so pissed off at people who use the "transphobia is bad because it impacts cis women too" argument, wasn't the suffering of trans women enough for you to bother caring about trans people?

if you dont see discrimination until it affects you fucking little self personally you need to reconsider your empathy bc you have the emotional intelligence of a brick wall

Last post before short break ✌️ (that’s if I can actually stay away lol. Might end up rushing some work for you all. Going to start another big project soon as well but my weekend is too busy to begin it then)

Had a dream that Blitzø was elected as Hell's hottest man of the year because nearly being executed on line TV is hot.

Everyone was excited for him, and Blitzø was sent a questionnaire to fill out for his feature in the magazine.

For every single question, he kept leaning over to Stolas working the reception desk and being all "PSSST! What'd you get for number 4???" Like he was trying to cheat on a math test.

Stolas kept trying to redirect and be like, "Well, don't you take your coffee like-" until Blitzø was all, "No, I'm trying to figure out what YOU would answer." To which Stolas was trying to say it didn't matter, only for Blitzø to jump in being all cute and saying it absolutely did matter, because it mattered to him and he liked knowing these things about Stolas.

Cut to a week later when the interview was printed, and Stolas realized very quickly that his answers had been printed instead of Blitzø's. When he started talking about correcting the mistake, however, Blitzø was just like "No, no, no, there's no mistake. They asked for the answers of the hottest man in Hell, and I gave them exactly that."

Ok, so, Hi.

Please, for future reference, know that I cannot donate money to anyone! I am a minor, and don't have a bank account! If you are in genuine need of financial aid, I absolutely would help if I could, but I can't! Obviously, this is like my first post, so none of you were to know.

However, I can try and raise awareness about it, in the hopes it helps you get what you need!

@alaafamily1992 messaged me earlier today, and I hope that me posting will help you somehow!
