No Context. Only This:

I think this is something really, really important. It can be hard to feel like you're "not disabled anough". Being "high-functioning", not ticking all the boxes, not being the textbook definition, not being "neurodivergent anough".

As a "high-functioning" autistic, I constantly feel like I'm not autistic anough. Like I act too "normal". But then I feel so guilty, because I should feel so lucky and grateful that I don't struggle as much as others. I feel so selfish for wanting people to recognise that I struggle too.

Just know you are valid. It doesn't matter if your diagnosis is official or not. It doesnt matter if you're labeled as "high-functioning" or "low-functioning". It doesn't matter, because you are valid.

(not just talking about autism btw. This goes for all neurodivergents <3333)

fuck it. shout out to "high functioning" neurodivergents

the ones who can mask easily, the ones who can get social cues, the ones who have managed to go most of their life not even knowing they were ND because they didn't present as the stereotypical ND person.

the ones who can pay attention in class, understand social etiquette, who understand societial expectations

the ones who don't feel neurodivergent enough bc they don't struggle in the same ways/areas a lot of NDs do, or they can't relate to other NDs' experiences because they always understood these things easily

the ones with high empathy, the ones who DO get the joke, the ones who are constantly told that they can't possibly be neurodivergent because they don't act like what you'd expect a neurodivergent person to act like.

you are neurodivergent enough. you are valid, and so are your experiences. not struggling as much as others do in some places doesn't mean you dont struggle at all. your condition and diagnosis is valid. your symptoms are valid. YOU ARE VALID. not checking all the supposed boxes doesn't mean you aren't neurodivergent. you are enough. you are valid. you are loved. you are valued. you matter. you belong in neurodivergent spaces, you deserve to use whatever resources are available to you, you are allowed to take up space in these communities. and i am so, so proud of you.

feel free to, and actually, i encourage you to reblog this with your experiences. we belong in this community as much as anyone else. please also tag this w/ any neurodivergent conditions i may have forgotten 💙

since this is getting lots of notes I'd like to add, even if you're undiagnosed or maybe self diagnosed, for whatever reason, (i.e. can't get access to a diagnosis, not being taken seriously, or just not wanting an official diagnosis, etc.) this still applies to you. actually especially to you folks. don't think for a second you're not valid just bc you don't have the paperwork or whatever to say it

yall, quick. whos read paradise lost (and biblical mythology?). we need 'em here stat

Okay, I’m just ridiculously curious about if/how you’re going to portray Lucifer in the upcoming TSC books, and I’m wondering if you can give us any info, snippets, anything about him and/or the other Princes of Hell. It’s probably too spoilery, and probably too early, for much of anything, but I’m really fascinated with how you’ve incorporated the Princes of Hell into the TSC world, as well as the other dimensions. I’d just love to know more. Thank you! Hope you’re doing well! ♥️

Hmmm. I don't think I can say specifically, but I can say that TWP is something of a return to the biblical/demonic mythos of The Mortal Instruments. A lot of what happens turns on various pieces of biblical mythology (since we're dealing with Lucifer!) and references to Paradise Lost/Dante.

Hehehe hideduo go brrr

behind closed doors (what nightmares does it hold?) - Chapter 1

“Hello,” Fit replied, “we have a room booked.”

The person – Pac – hummed. “Name, please?”

“Fit MC.”

“Fit MC…” Pac muttered, typing something on his laptop.

Fit scanned the room. It was quite simple, to be honest. Two doors, presumably leading to hallways with the rooms. Some paintings on the wall, a couch. The front desk was barren other than the near-ancient computer and a flowerpot with some purple flowers on them.

“Wolfsbane,” Pac informed him, interrupting his thoughts, “very pretty, right?”

---

After his husband's unexpected death, Fit and his son Ramón go on holiday to a nearby city, hoping to relax - however their hotel is anything but normal, and with the help of a charming employee they must uncover the mysteries of the hotel, before they become one too.

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!

WAIIIIIIITTTTT JUST ONE MOMENT

HUHHHHHHHHHHH

with a few different people posting about their predictions for twp, a common thread I've noticed is there's usually something regarding Ty finding out about Kit being the First Heir.... I see we've all forgotten about Ty being up that tree lmao

Lots of love to all the non-verbal and partially verbal people out there!!! <33333

I really love the autism positivity on this website, but it seems to mainly focus on verbal autistics. Can I get a reblog for nonverbal autism positivity?

randomly reminding that i'll read Ty's pov for the first time ever in twp

miss rabbit fainted

randomly reminding that Herongraystairs will finally happen in twp

miss rabbit fainted again

Gem is great!

I dunno if I'll have time to do all the prompts for gemweek so I went a bit bigger with this one. Gem and her season 8 base.
