What on earth happend to the dc bro 😞💔

I really don't like the emphasis on "it's okay to need accessibility because if there's more demand things will become more available" in disability discussion because 1) this is often untrue and 2) you still need the help even if a resource is finite. whether or not you get help shouldn't be reliant on whether or not that'll be useful to someone else and I wish the idea that you can only feel good about getting help if it's convenient wasn't so pervasive

the thing that always gets me ESPECIALLY about autistic representation in media is that we are universally portrayed as happy-go-lucky, whimsical children, completely oblivious to the fact that the world constantly judges and scorns and HATES us.

We notice. I noticed. The reason I am as messed up as I am today is because i spent 20 LONG years in an environment where every day i was subjected to that. To noticing.

what an absolutely neurotypical view of us. Coddling themselves, getting to act like the way they treat us is fine because we don't understand that our peers dont respect us. Why would we? We're so subhuman to them, it's like asking if your cat notices you playfully insulting it.

Every autistic person I've ever met is on some level bitter and angry and TRAUMATIZED at their upbringing. Of having to go through school as the laughing stock, as the weirdo with no friends who no one wants to talk to, as the animal in the corner you can make do cheap tricks so they can experience some Simulacra of what genuine human connection is.

Now tell me, does it sound like I didn't notice?

SS Aftermath au!

Not-so-small character info dump

Poppy is able to change her appearance by shifting around the bubbles in her body. However, this power is rather minimal, so she only uses it to make herself look more friendly. The bow can shift, too, due to the toon's clothing now being a physical part of their body. She drops her friendly appearance when she's mad or alone, and becomes almost completely unresponsive for a while if she keeps her form changed for too long. Her bubbles are harmless, but they do make a loud sound when popped.

Razzle isn't too mentally unstable and is doing surprisingly well after recovering from being a twisted. He is hazardous, though, considering that he keeps subconsciously trapping the other toons with his ribbons. He also traps toons when he's mad at them, but he hasn't actually hurt anyone yet.

Dazzle is extremely sensitive to noise and lashes out if something is too loud. If he hurts a toon, he becomes extremely apologetic and immediately calls for a healer.

Glisten is ashamed of his appearance and will attempt to murder whoever sees what he really looks like. He always wears a cover over his bow (despite how uncomfortable it is for him) and uses a bow to keep his hair (which naturally curls the opposite way he wants it to) covering the shattered side of his face. He only takes this stuff off when he's going to bed, so he's only a threat if someone barges into his room uninvited. After he calms down, he tries his best to avoid whoever he tried to harm. If left alone for more than five minutes, he gets really anxious and has a full mental breakdown if no one is in his teleporting range. He also goes insane if his bow gets too damaged.

Vee is extremely insecure about her appearance and hides herself under her cloak. If someone sees what she looks like under her cloak, she gets stressed and lashes out. She's also sensitive to sound, so too much noise will also make her stressed. When she gets too stressed, she crashes out and begins to attack everything that moves or makes noise. In this state, she creates a ton of glitchy pop-ups and emmits shockwaves that slow down toons. Unfortunately, she also goes insane if she gets wet. She will only stop rampaging once her battery gets low, and she will proceed to isolate herself in her room until someone (usually Shelly or Brigtney) drags her out. Luckily, Vee is self-aware and will try to lock herself somewhere safe before she becomes a threat.

I should foreword this by saying none of I am not licensed to drive, so this is all observations as a bystander/passenger/pedestrian

Is it just me or are there a ridiculous amount of stupid drivers? We live in a country where driving is very helpful, but not strictly necessary, most of my essentials are in walking distance, yet I still see a lot of cars around, and the things people do does not inspire confidence. I seem to know more about driving than people who have been licensed to drive a motorised vehicle that can very easily kill people if you don't know what you're doing. Then I see people backing up at awkward angles in the middle of the road, stopping in yellow boxes, the whole nine yards. We were hit by a car once, which is very much a painful experience, so this is something of a personal issue. Do people just forget everything after they pass their tests, or are they just handing out licences to anyone who knows the clutch pedal from the brake pedal? Is it an overconfidence thing? It might have something to do with drink driving, there's definitely a lot of talk about that and it makes sense considering where we live. The government has made several campaigns calling for people to slow down and be careful when driving, including a fair bit of new driving legislation, yet still there are a saddening amount of road deaths. The numbers aren't even going down from what I've heard. Idk, it's just very worrying, and probably why I don't want to be getting a license anytime soon.
