Hey, I saw your visual snow syndrome post and I thought I'd share a cool website where you can simulate what it looks like! You can adjust the size of the grain, the density, and the speed. And there are different images to choose from (great for night vs day comparison)

Ooooo I'll have to check it out

Lamproderma echinulatum

by Sarah Lloyd

has anyone made like, a Chart of what genres are in each of sleep tokens songs? i'd make one myself but i only know rock/metal terminology, and barely.

making every conversation into being about The Character with the same reliability and conviction of a youth pastor going “you know who else partied? our lord and savior”

nono no you get it you Get It ! same band different fonts ! (particularly starsets love songs) where starset has the incomprehensible beauty and scale of space, sleep token have the incomprehensible beauty i assume one might find in religion, or a similar level of devotion. Like they are so small and the emotions are so big, you have to draw comparisons to astral bodies and dieties to properly convey it, and the loneliness that comes with it. A sort of reverence and devotion for something out of your reach.

I think thematically they have similarities, aesthetically they clash a little, but it could most certainly still slap.

hear me out, but i think a collab between sleep token and starset would absolutely fuckin SLAP

they have similar lyric styles (in my opinion), both of them are almost poetic in nature, and they both have that lovely touch of devotion, longing, self-loathing, and anger throughout their songs

i dunno, just a totally random thought i had but i think it would be such a cool idea!! plus, both sleep token and starset deserve so much more attention 😭

“Fives wouldn’t sell Echo.”

Listen, not only would Fives sell Echo. He would be able to haggle for more than 3000 credits.

this was very fun to render

also first time drawing echo!

R.I.P my son. I only had you for 44 days. There will forever be a silverfish shaped hole in my heart.

when I handed in my autism paperwork, I scheduled an appointment directly with my GP to go over my fully filled out and annotated paperwork, and go over the questions I'd made notes i didn't understand or needed clarified. I think colour coding was involved.

The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.

In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.

But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.

"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?

"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.

Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?

It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.
