Some Toy Pokemon Doodles I Worked On A While Ago (including The Rough Draft Of My Slinky Shinx I Uploaded

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

This post is old, but you are STILL ABLE TO GET AHOLD OF TUMBLR STAFF in an emergency: this just happened to me recently. All you have to do is email SUPPORT@TUMBLR.COM and they will handle the situation for you. Thanks for passing this along, guys!! xo Kate

Here we go again

PSA: Stop Infantilizing c!Slimecicle

I’m making this post because it frustrates me a lot. Treating c!Slime as a child harkens back to some very shitty and ableist opinions about autistic adults and I’m begging this fandom to stop.

c!Slime is not a child. He is explicitly an adult. Other characters don’t treat him like a child. The only reason any of you see him as childlike is because of the autistic traits he shows.

While I don’t think the coding was intentional, it is extremely strong and is there regardless.

Let me explain. Canonically, c!Slime doesn’t understand human social cues. He is seen as naive, innocent, and gullible. He takes everything literally and doesn’t understand non-literal meanings. He seeks sensory stimulation through repeated phrases and the pressure of enclosed spaces. He tends to overshare and struggles to understand social boundaries. He doesn’t understand personal space, and greets people and says goodbye by kissing them, not seeming to understand that this isn’t normal. He lacks typical fear when put in dangerous situations. He copies other people’s mannerisms to better pass as human.

These aren’t child-like traits. These are autistic traits. And the entire narrative of pretending to be human just drives this home more - it mirrors the real experience of how many autistic adults have to “mask” being autistic.

Regardless of intent, c!Slime is coded as an autistic adult. Not just in a way where you can interpret him that way, but in a way where this is the strongest interpretation.

And this is the problem. Autistic adults constantly have to face infantalization as allistics don’t see us adults. They see us as mentally being children. They see us as lesser.

This is why I’m begging you guys to stop treating c!Slime like a child. Because to the autistic people in this fandom, it’s extremely uncomfortable.

Stop calling him c!Quackity’s son, stop treating him like an “innocent little baby”. Stop making jokes where the punchline is him not understanding an “adult” topic or complex social situations. Stop making jokes where the punchline is that he needs a babysitter.

Because while c!Slime isn’t canonically autistic, he is so strongly coded as such that treating him like a child in this way feels really uncomfortable. And I know I’m not the only autistic person who sees it this way.

Allistics can reblog, do not clown on this post or I will bite you

THIS WILL NEVER HAPPEN ON TUMBLR BUT

Bless me, Miku

fun fact: the reason that the plural of goose is geese but the plural of moose is not meese is because goose derives from an ancient germanic word undergoing strong declension, in the pattern of foot/feet and tooth/teeth, wherein oo is mutated to ee. however ‘moose’ is a native american word added to the english lexicon only ~400 years ago, and lacks the etymological reason to be pluralized in that way.
