Mary sues
Honestly I have a very big love for “mary sues” and all other ”cringe” characters (esp sparkledogs).
I think this is because of both the recent movement of killing cringe culture/finding joy in things despite them being labeled Cringe, and just the general internet atmosphere of Nostalgia and reminiscing about our childhoods.
And maybe it’s also a point of maturity to be immature, and make stuff for the fun of it, to not constantly worry what other people think.
I wasn’t completely entrenched in the social media hubs and fandom discourse like some of my peers (and in part of that, either being too young for the demographic or just not knowing of its existence at the time, I now feel left out), I never had a true sense of community online. Deviantart was already dying when I got on, and as much as I watched youtube, I never had the means / got into making videos of my own.
I suppose there’s nothing stopping me from building a community, or joining one. Try to bring back the old time vibes of all the internet subcultures I idolized. (However.. that takes time and investment, two things that are hard to maintain for me)
Sorry, tangent-
Anyways, I love bright colorful crazy designs because they’re just so unabashedly, unapologetically, loud and proud to be themselves.”I exist to challenge fundamental design concepts and make your eyes bleed. I will fight God and win”
This Absolutely extends to Sparkledogs and Scenedogs. I love them so much. The floof, the eye bleed, the ungodly amount of emo style and accessories.
This recent resurgence in fondness is probably also influenced by me getting into Speedcore and crunchy edm club music.
(Also, as someone who doesn’t really express themselves outwardly through fashion (aside from the occasional fandom t-shirt), I can live vicariously through the rainbow colors and emo fashion. just a little, as a treat.)
I don’t really know where I was going with any of this, aside from sharing my fondness for old cringey ocs and a bit of introspection.
If you actually read all this, or, :O *gasp* took something from it, I’m glad and you get a gold star :3
(…Or should it be a black and neon rainbow half-demon-half dragon star? Ya know, to keep with the theme :P)

Meditation enables us to see the seed of enlightenment in every single emotion or thought so that any concept can bring awareness of our fundamental ground. When the mind rests in awareness, there is no ground for the creation of karma, and nothing causes the mind to shift into unawareness or solidifying concepts. The ground and path of our practice are completely based on the exhaustion of ignorance and false views

You dont need empathy to be kind.
I hate the idea that empathy is required in order to be a good person. Instead we should value compassion. Empathy is a feeling, whereas compassion is an action. Feeling/experiencing empathy does not make a person more likely to treat others with kindness, and does not make someone an inherently better person than someone who is incapable of it altogether.
There is a troubling idea within our culture that our truth lies in what is inherent to the mind, not in what we actively choose to contribute to the world. We are taught that to be a good person we must suffer alongside our object of compassion. In its bare essentials, empathy is a selfish experience. We project ourselves into the position of the person suffering which makes us care. Caring for another person because their pain causes you pain is not necessarily a mark of true virtue, and I strongly believe we need to shed this idea as a society entirely!
We should value active compassion and care over simple empathy, and teach people that what matters is how you choose to respond to a person struggling, and not what you feel inside. If you care for a person in pain, a pain that you do not share at all, and you get no sense of emotional relief from theirs, but you care for them anyway purely for their own sake, this is the mark of a truly good person. This is the difference between compassion and empathy.
Empathy is to feel pain or distress at the pain or distress of another. Compassion is to treat the world around us and our fellow people with love and care regardless of any reward, material or emotional.

things that can be symptoms of autism
- having no empathy. at all
- anger issues, being easily frustrated, explosive anger, destructive behavior
- being "over emotional" and sensitive- laughing for too long or too much, being easily amused, having big meltdowns over things people think "don't matter", having meltdowns because of even being able to hear horror movies or something sensitive someone told you. you could argue this is a type of "taking things too literally" too
- being too rough. i personally throw things i mean to just put down and slam doors i mean to shut quietly
- experimental behavior (saying or doing things just to see what will happen)
- not understanding boundaries
- not understanding consequences
- not understanding that other living things are real and have thoughts and feelings and bodies
- not understanding good and bad
- not knowing how to express emotions
- expressing or feeling a different emotion than is expected
- expressing an emotion you don't feel because you have no other way of communicating
- systemwide flat affect (tone, body language, and face)
- shallow emotions (feeling something but not feeling it as strongly as is expected)
- just flat out not feeling what you're expected to, at all
- what's considered manipulation because your brain just doesn't... work another way
- self absorption. both in terms of "only i exist to me" and "i will walk into the fucking road unless someone helps me watch where i am going". something parents of autistic children often complain about is their child coming out of their room, walking into the room where they are and they say hi and the child doesn't even acknowledge them. that. not acknowledging other people or objects or your environment at all. for me it's because my brain just literally doesn't "see" stuff but also sometimes i don't acknowledge people for reasons i don't even know. if anyone else gets this and knows why you do it lmk
- impulsivity
- incontinence
- not being able to understand, interpret, or process body signals like hunger, exhaustion, or needing to use the bathroom
- dysphagia and problems with eating and talking. can result in drooling
- issues with balance, proprioception, and motor skills (frequently bumping into stuff, tripping, falling, knocking stuff over, spilling, missing trash cans, being unable to grab something, missing your face when you eat, having a hard time dressing yourself, messy handwriting, having a hard time with buttons or staying in the lines or drawing a straight line)
- atypical gaits and mobility issues (may require the use of mobility aids)
- not being able to understand sarcasm or jokes. by themselves. just sarcasm and jokes. no complexity.
the point of this post is "please keep all of this in mind when you think about and discuss autism, and when you interact with others, especially people you know are autistic."
happy autism month.

your advocacy for people with low empathy means nothing if you only focus on those who have high sympathy and compassion and are good at helping people and throw low empathy people who struggle a lot with those things under the bus

the fact society has normalized the idea of a rebellious phase in teens is absolutely and utterly disgusting.
those teens who are rebelling against their parents and other adult figures controls are incredibly brave and admirable. to fight against figures that could do almost ANYTHING to you if they wanted, and be open about is an extremely brave act, and i think they deserve for that to be recognized.

LoK theory: I think Korra has ADHD. Specifically Combined type.
Why? You might ask, well I have a ton of reasons and I’ll give you a few here:
1. Korra is super impulsive, often making decisions without fully thinking through the consequence, because it seemed like the right/easiest option in the current moment.
At first I thought this was just a pacing issue but then I realized that this isn’t something that really affects most of the other characters.
2. Korra is pretty hyperactive, especially in season 1. She quite literally can’t sit still long enough to meditate. She also can’t just sit on Air temple island. She has to/feels like she has to find a way to the pro bending match which leads me to my next point;
3. Korra gets hyperfixated on things, sometimes its small achievable goals (such as getting to see the probendinf match) and other times it’s much bigger less achievable things such as the world being a greatplace for everyone (and not in the same way aang or other avatars did, in a way where she gets unreasonably upset when confronted with the fact its not perfect and there is no way to make everyone happy) and sometime is more self destructive ways such as when she was trying to prove Asami’s dad was working with the equalists.
4. Korra also had trouble regulating her emotions, I don’t think this needs any explanation as this is a major part of her character and personality.
5 Korra also displays a lot of traits of RSD, I don’t really know how to describe it but it’s something a lot of people with ADHD experience since we feel way more sensitive to everything than most people. I here are some of the symptoms and you can see for yourself. Korra fits almost all of them
(The 6th one is something that Korra does a lot)
There are definitely more but this are the ones I noticed first. Do I think that Korra was created to have ADHD; maybe but I am probably just reading to much into this.
What are your guys thoughts?

There’s definitely a lack of empathy going on with *someone* here…
More to come on autistic empathy this week, because it's such a biggie. In the meantime, you can learn more about the double empathy problem here: https://reframingautism.org.au/miltons-double-empathy-problem-a-summary-for-non-academics/

Sometimes I go into states of apathy. And I just don’t feel love or barely feel love for the people in my life. I know that it doesn’t last forever, but sometimes I really do have to pretend to love the people that I normally do love in my life, and it hurts a bit

Allow me to say something good for once about having lower empathy. It’s not all awful- sometimes it’s helpful to me actually. A lot of my friends are going through a lot of bad shit. I’m better off than anyone else in our group to help them because I immediately default to fixing the problem as best I can instead of getting emotional. Empathy doesn’t make you a good person nor does a lower amount than “normal” make you a bad person. I’m still a compassionate person who wants to see people be happy. I still care!
Why do we have to be constantly negative about our traits, hate our traits, pretend they are 100 percent negative all the time, just because they’re not nice and cutesy and presentable to the neurotypicals? My low empathy causes me problems sometimes, like all my other traits can at times, but I don’t want to pretend it’s awful and life ruining at all times and that I can’t be a good friend or take care of my friends, because I can. And I’ll do it better than everyone who judges people with low empathy ever could.
DNI if you’re looking to start discourse, I don’t do that shit.

Anyways, support people with low/no empathy, sympathy, and/or compassion.
Those things are not required to be a good person, and nobody should feel like those things are a requirement in life.

“the way autistic people express empathy can seem strange to others, and they might be incorrectly seen as unempathetic when in reality, the problem is miscommunication” AND “many autistic people have low or no empathy, and talking about this does not promote stereotypes or make us bad people” can and should coexist.
