Hey check out my friend’s cool art! Commenting, reblogging or otherwise interacting rather than just liking means a lot to them so please do so :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELCHOIRDORMIK!!!

Decided to make a sequel to Norm and Noah connecting their queue

Oakie dokie (lol), the poll closes at 4pm today! Please vote for this acorn, I am unreasonably invested. I will post a piece of my art for every new Oakie vote this post gets (please like or comment if you vote so I know)! If you’ve already voted, you can vote again- each voter can vote every 12 hours.

Tumblr people, can I ask something weird? Can I ask you to vote in a popular tournament poll…. Not on this hellsite? 🥺👉👈

Mascot Madness - SUNY

SUNY Mascot Madness is the battle to decide New York's favorite college mascot.

My school’s mascot is Oakie the Acorn, and they’re probably the Tumblr-est mascot you could think of.

I mean, they’re an acorn for goodness’ sake, they’re officially non-binary, and they’re all about sustainability. The school they represent is also very tumblr- SUNY ESF is a school dedicated to saving the Earth, and its student culture makes it a place where the genders are queer and the neuros are divergent :) People just stop to stare at a weird mushroom or interesting insect all the time here, and if someone spots them, instead of ridicule, you’ll probably have two people staring.

In conclusion, vote for Oakie!

Anyway if you see this you have to reblog and tag with a delight from ur day -- even the littlest thing counts

As an autistic person, I didn’t have this experience, because I not only have had a loving and unusually accepting family all my life, I’ve had a friend group almost entirely made up of fellow neurodivergent people. But some of my autistic friends have had this experience. I try to reassure them that someone will love them for who they are, that for some friendships, there aren’t any lines at which their friends will get sick of them. I will never get sick of someone for being “too autistic” and cut them out of my life. At times, I may get sick of a certain behavior and need a break from that particular thing, but I will come back, and there are others, autistic and not, who are the same way. I want everyone reading this to know: there are people who would love you as you are, even if you haven’t met them yet. And if you feel alone, feel free to message me; I may be just a stranger on the internet, but if I can help someone by listening and being there and being the friendly oddball I am, I’d be glad to.

Thank you @lane-thepencilthing for voting for Oakie in the SUNY Mascot Madness tournament (link). So maybe I could’ve posted these separately but this screwball nonsense all kinda goes together. This is a silly Hollow Knight modern/gijinka AU in which the characters are trying and failing to be normal people in the normal town of Hallownest. Chaotic ideas under the cut- it’s mostly just silly.

Hollie is a Gifted Kid who just wants to be “good” and ends up being the one who mostly takes care of their little siblings because their parents are absolutely slacking off on that. They’re very tall and stand out in a crowd, but they’re shy and quiet and don’t want to stand out and are always hunched over. Also, everyone in the Pale family is autistic. When I tried to make these characters act normal they all gave off extremely neurodivergent energy XD

Hornet is a tween who is Not Like Other Girls and likes spiders and will probably bite. Herrah is basically a Crazy Cat Lady, except she has a bunch of pet spiders. This combined with the fact that she’s crazy strong and kinda intimidating anyway means most people avoid her. If you say anything bad about her mom, Hornet will come after you. Ghost, predictably, is a little chaos child. They lose speech/can’t always speak and have both autism and ADHD. Grimm is kinda frenemies with PK, but Ghost and Grimm Jr. are the best of friends. They get into trouble together often. Grimm will often just drop his child off at PK’s house unexpectedly, and Ghost will get all excited about the surprise sleepover, and PK will be like “Grimm you can’t just do this” and Grimm will be like “Watch me.” The one good parent in this is the crazy woman whose house is full of spiders.

Grima Propaganda! (Because I deeply appreciate this messed up villain)

The Fell Dragon Grima, the dark deity bent on eradicating humanity, the bringer of the zombie apocalypse, and a lot of fans’ blorbo.

When you first meet them in Fire Emblem Awakening, they’re the Big Bad villain with little actual characterization, but that didn’t stop the fandom from loving them, and they got more lore and characterization in DLC and other games in the franchise. There is soo much Murder Dragon Romanticization in the fandom and it seems to be running on sheer swag and charisma. It’s also true that canon is enough of a mess that you could make the case they’re much less evil than it seems… or maybe that’s the fandom talking. There are Tumblr folk who celebrate “Grimas” every year. Grima should absolutely be a Tumblr Sexyman: he’s the villain certain people love, dark and mysterious and eldritch and full of issues and trauma. The fan fiction this character has spawned includes some of my favorite fanworks.

Their (unwilling?) vessel is none other than the amnesiac player character Robin, who was born into an evil cult for the purpose of bringing their dark god back to life. Robin and Grima are so interconnected that the death of one means the death of the other (a great source of angst, at least until Robin is revived by the power of friendship). A lot of people headcanon that Grima and Robin are actually the same entity, and the varying interpretations of Grima and Robin and how they’re connected are such fun.

Grima is also:

-an artificial being whose creator tried to kill them

-a dragon monstrosity with six eyes and six wings that’s so huge the final battle is held on top of their back

-referred to with mostly he/him but kinda inconsistent pronouns in game, probably some genderfuckery here

-I headcanon Grima is Above Gender

-parent to a Very Traumatized child (or several)

-a GIGANTIC effing DRAGON with six eyes and six wings

-I keep wanting to add more but I can’t let my brain be consumed any further
