Since The Word Violence

Think you can wait?

If you want an idea of how to write a story from the perspective of a neurodivergent child, listen to My Name is Lily Madwhip. It goes into her thoughts a lot, and aside from the whole clairvoyant thing, the way Lily thinks and interacts with the world around her is a good example of how being nd changes your experience with the world, especially at that age.

It's also got a good depiction of a reaction to loss and trauma, and probably the only accurate depiction of how a child would react to life in a chosen one type of role. And it's just a very interesting story.

Also the girl who narrates it has the most adorable voice.

The full series is on MrCreepyPasta's YouTube channel.

Gay as fuck to be thinking about complimenting your assailant while he beats the shit out of you

Things Tessa would have loved doing if Cyn hadn’t freaking killed her:

Uzi in general.

Finding out that N and Uzi are dating.

Telling embarrassing stories about N in front of Uzi.

Stealing clothes and hair from all the skeletons on Copper 9 to play dress up with the drones.

N being tall enough to carry her on her shoulders.

Riding V’s pet sentinel. (She’d definitely call it a dingo)

Telling everyone V used to wear glasses and embarrassing her.

Watching horror movies with N, V, Uzi, and J.

Forcing J to be friends with the others against her will.

Being Uzi’s “I’ll help you bury a body and not ask questions” friend.

Going to drone prom and tearing up the dance floor.

Just… just finally being able to be her weird self without fear of judgement and having friends as creepy and strange as she was and… THIS GIRL DESERVED TO LIVE, DAMNIT!

The reason why Tales From The Gas Station works so well is because the premise is so fucking funny.

Imagine a guy. Just a guy. He is a cashier at the gas station at the edge of town.

That town is fucking weird. There are monsters, hauntings, eldritch gods appearing in dreams, parasites, cultists, serial killers, tree people, politicians that don't stay dead, a ventriloquist puppet that has more influence than anyone else in town.

But this guy just wants to do his damn job. He doesn't care. He is tired. If you're not going to buy anything, he'll kindly ask you to leave the store.

He gets robbed, attacked, beaten up, threatened with death, threatened by old naked men, visited by murder cultists and terrible beings and he just goes right back to work afterwards. (He's nothing if not a good employee.)

At the same time, this guy isn't normal. He doesn't sleep. Ever. He has memory issues and sees hallucinations (so those weird things are probably not real anyway, right). He forgets his friend died on Halloween and isnt surprised when he keeps showing up. Aforementioned murder cultist tries to convince him to join the mission to blow up the planet, then adopts him as his best friend when it doesn't work. He is locked in a neverending battle with the local racoons.
