Reblogging this super late but oh well. Point still stands
happy autism awareness day to all the girls who had “ friends” growing up who were actually bullying them . to the girls who always sat alone in the grass and wondered why nobody wanted to talk . to the girls who spoke to animals like they were listening . to the girls who created a little world in their room . to the girls who always felt ashamed for how deeply they love things and how passionately they enjoyed media . to the girls who covered their ears when they were overwhelmed by everything . to the girls who carrying a special thing around to feel safe . to the girls who never understood what they did wrong to feel so lonely . to the girls who were diagnosed later in life because they weren’t little boys who liked trains. you are so special and beautiful and you’re not worse for it, you love deeply and that is so wonderful please never try to push that down . I LOVE YOU !!!!!
I am always mesmerized by editors using a song for their edit that PERFECTLY matches a character's backstory. It's so satisfying.
Especially when I relate to the song, too. So then I relate to the character even more and AAAAAAAHHHHH-
Exhibit A, by one of my favorite TT editors:
MARINA being back is giving me life
marina performing at coachella (2025)
Katara is canonically punk:A short meta/analysis
Explicitly a noncormist against toxic traditionalist roles(i.e her wanting to be a girl but not like is expected of her by the misogyny in society)
She works hard to disprove them too and encourages other girls to do the same
Runs her mouth 24/7 but especially to authority figures
Does direct action and literal eco-terrorism on a regular basis
Changed the system as a result(Became the chief of her tribe and helped decolonize the non-FN countries)
Super kind to younger people and has a strong sense of community
Intersectionalist who is respectful of all cultures except the Fire Nation and instead does reverse racism against them for being imperialists('Ash Maker' was reperations)
Had a crush on Jet because he's an experienced revolutionary and Aang had a crush on her for the same reason

having slow auditory processing is chaos, it makes me come off as jerky, like i promise when i ask 'what' and interrupt you half way through repeating yourself with a response, its just bc im slow and i need captions for everything.
Hey, y'all! I made these today! I release them into the world to support the cause! They're sized for 8.5x11 printer paper. Take 'em. Print 'em. Post 'em EVERYWHERE.
Me at work (grocery stores are sensory hell)
Please be patient with those of us with auditory processing disorder. We just need more time for the gears to turn in our heads.
