Mordecai and Rigby, confess your feelings for one another so you two can stop coughing up these rose petals and we can start cleaning them up OR YOU'RE FIRED!!!

level 1 autism don’t mean no support need

don’t mean no struggle

don’t mean all can hold job can live independently (some level 1 can do that but not able do doesn’ automatically mean not level 1)

don’t mean have friend

don’t mean no violent meltdowns

don’t mean speech not hard

nothing wrong with be level 1.

(am not level 1. but yeah)

I'm a "multiple interpretations of a character are valid" person until I see an interpretation that explicitly contradicts canon and then I start chewing on the drywall.

Me: "they are fictional characters and you can have whatever thoughts or interpretations you like! You may be close to the creators intent, you may not! What does it matter! There is joy in the exploration alone"

Also me: blorbo would not fucking say that

“This character is multi-faceted and has many valid interpretations of them, but there are also aspects of them that are so set in stone that if you take them away, you’re basically talking about a totally different character.”

the amount of people i see that have started making south park fanart is astounding if i ever start doing that shit you gotta take me out back and shoot me

are any three little words more romantically devastating than “Not like this”

the bone deep agony of someone wanting something so, so, so badly and finally having it within reach but knowing that they’d never forgive themselves if they got it in This way, if they took it or were given it when it couldn’t last or wasn’t real or the other person is only giving for the wrong reasons, maybe doesn’t actually want Them, just Someone…

and having to say that they want this but…. but not like this.

hey, fuck u buddy, I wrote this for them. this is fandom shit in the first place, u go outside.

I've seen a lot of level one autistics say things like "Have an urge to run? Hell yeah! Elope, bitch! Freedom!". This frustrates me, so I want to talk about elopement, and what it actually is and feels like for me.

I am someone who elopes when in severe distress. It isnt that I want freedom, or even that I want to leave. Its that my body takes control of me, and I involuntarily run anywhere I can to get out. I've run out of my house before, I've run into the middle of the street, etc. It isnt fun. It isnt freeing. It's scary, it's dangerous, and it feels like I am being controlled by my own body because I have no say in it. It just happens, and suddenly I am sprinting out my front door.

I've also seen level one autistics be upset with parents for having those "child leashes" on their autistic kids, saying how they "arent dogs". I think more people need to understand that these are SAFETY TOOLS and are often times NECESSARY for people who elope frequently. Stop shaming parents for having these leash backpacks.
