But autism is ALWAYS a disorder. There are good parts along with the bad, but it ALWAYS causes disorder to one's life, even in the good times. That, and it can be absolutely soul crushing sometimes. There are genuinely autistics out there that can never live independently because of their autism. They aren't making excuses. And they should not be silenced for this new movement that seems to think autism is all fun and games.

Disclaimers:

I am a diagnosed autistic

I have family that's autistic

I tried not to use too many stereotypes, and instead included most of what I experieced plus some things I've seen around the community.

Not every autistic is the same, and some will experience most of these, while others will experience less. That is normal.

DO NOT self diagnose off of my Tumblr post. If you resonate with any of these, please go do some actual research, and IF YOU HAVE THE MEANS, go talk to a professional.

My adaptation of the God of Arepo short story, which was originally up at ShortBox Comics Fair for charity. You can get a copy of the DRM-free ebook here for free - and I'd encourage you to donate to Mighty Writers or The Ministry of Stories in exchange.

Again it's an honour to be drawing one of my favourite short stories ever. Thank you so much for the original authors for creating this story; and for everyone who bought a copy and donated to the above non-profits.

"You can't be a lurker on tumblr." Yes, you absolutely can. I've been quietly reblogging things since 2014 and I haven't interacted with anyone in years.

Life can be unpredictable and cruel. It has a knack for finding ways to bring you down, even when you're at your happiest. It can take your highest high and pull you down to your lowest low. It torments you, biding its time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike - the moment when you're most comfortable, most secure. And just like that, it rips everything away from you, leaving you with nothing.

For example, imagine your wedding night - the happiest day of your life - only to have it all ripped away from you. You were bitten and turned into the undead, your new existence a far cry from the life you had envisioned.

Customize your character’s gender, presentation, and motivations

Romance five characters, with a poly option

Be a vampire, with class vampire lore

Befriend or antagonize multiple characters

Embrace your new vampire life

Or don’t. Not my business

Casimir [F] - Your partner, who you got engaged to. A soft soul with a love for books and learning and a love for the simple life.

Sterling [M] - The vampire who turned you into this.. thing. You don’t know what their motives are, or what their planning, but its something bad. 

Marlowe [NB] - A young vampire hunter looking to rid the world of your kind to protect humanity. They’re a bright fellow, who is very optimistic.

Hemlock [M] - An old man who’s spent his life studying vampires and their society, and raising you. He doesn’t particularly like them, but he’s still given you a home, even after you turned.

Harriet [GF] - A vampire who's more on the chill side of life. They spend his time sipping coffee and relaxing at the theater, and have a deep love for opera. She might look like a bookworm, but she's never opened one in her life.

Roree [M] - A scientist in his past life. He lived a life of logic and reason, when it abruptly came to an end by the hands of a vampire. He now lives his days a thrall, forced to serve a Lord who treats him like garbage.
