Murky developing her own sign language (MSL... Mishka Sign Language) for when she goes non-verbal and her new family figuring it out as she goes, broadening the signed vocabulary each time and perfecting the signs as everyone just kind of fools around and tries to find out.

You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining social networking websites. I thought so much of Tumblr that I elected to establish my Administration here, in the Citadel so thoughtfully provided by Our Benefactors. I have been proud to call Tumblr my home. And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through on your way to parts unknown, welcome to Tumblr. It's safer here.
autism hell hole is a blog dedicated to my friends and their wildly different interests + their shitposting.
we wanted to capture the era of 2010s tumblr where ask blogs ran rampant, so you can ask us WHATEVER questions you like… i just can't guarantee that you will get a response from who you have the question for.
every admin on this blog is artist, so expect some extremely insane drawings to spawn from… all of this. (especially from the person playing jerma985).

One bonus Barney Calhoun photo from two weekends ago because I'm salty that my tags aren't working on the original post.
SO-ho pumped to wear this nerd again this coming weekend, hopefully with bonus pulse rifle if I can get it done.
I haven't been in the fandom long but after learning of the Freemance wars, I have something to say.
The interpretation that Gordon Freeman is grooming Alyx Vance or is a predator in some way is laden with misogynistic undertones when you take the time to think about it.
"Surely this grown woman cannot make decisions for herself about who she likes. She must be being manipulated by a white man! We have to protect her from herself!"
It's deeply infantalizing and horrifically misogynistic. Alyx is 24 years old. Dr. Freeman is physically and mentally 27 years old. The notion that she is being manipulated completely strips her of her autonomy.
Does a woman choosing to like a man scare you? Does it scare you so much that you have to turn against her and make her out to be a helpless and naive victim in order to make it better? Pathetic.
It's not protective. It's sexism packaged as modern sensibility and completely deprives a grown adult woman of her agency, sexual autonomy, and maturity.
