It seems you're feeling better today. I'm glad! Have some more questions :)
11, 39, 47, 78, 90
I am! :) And capitalizing on it as best as I can. Thanks for more of these 🥰
11. Do you have any strange phobias?
I don’t know if it’s strange but I have trypophobia. It’s strong enough that I have developed coping mechanisms to deal with it. It can become like an intrusive thought once it’s on my mind. I filter for it on here, and I’m always grateful when someone I follow actually uses the tag so I don’t have to see it. I also haven’t bothered to internalize how it’s spelled (even tho looking at it now it’s really not complicated), but I have the word saved in my notes app because originally I had to Google it and let me tell you… not a fun experience!
39. What time is it?
Aha, speaking of geography. It’s 4:53 pm :3
47. Do you have any obsessions right now?
Not really! Thank goodness tbh. I hyperfixated on Fire Emblem: Three Houses pretty hard when I got into it (June or July), and went down the Dimileth rabbit hole first, then Sylvix. I’m still enjoying Sylvix, but it’s not compulsive like it was when I was well and truly hyperfixated. I’ve been avoiding finishing the CF route, tho, so I’m currently playing Spiritfarer.
78. Can insanity bring on more creativity?
Uh oh! You’ve unlocked Opinions™. The first of which is that insanity is a word I find uncomfortable because it isn’t an official psychological term anymore, it’s mostly used in law these days to indicate severe mental illness, and when the average person genuinely uses it to describe another person they’re often using it to demonize said person’s mental illness. However, I don’t think anyone involved here intended that, so I am just mentioning it because I have met a lot of folks for whom it is a word that personally hurts them, and thus I feel the need to say something.
To answer the actual question, I think it’s looking at it wrong, really. Rather than bringing on creativity, I think mental illness tends to result in unique experiences, both positive and negative, and art is an outlet for all of it. Van Gogh had what seems to be manic depression, and art was a way to express himself. Art therapy is very much a thing for folks with all sorts of mental illnesses. It allows you to explore life, yourself, whatever you want in a way that doesn’t require words (or does, if you express yourself through writing), and can maybe communicate some of what’s going on in your head to someone else who otherwise might have very little understanding. And it can even help you understand yourself, too, sometimes.
So yeah, I think ultimately unique experiences and perspectives make a person more creative, especially in the eyes of someone whose own experiences are very different. It’s all relative, baby! This is also why diversity is super important (beyond just being fundamentally a good thing), because diverse people have diverse ideas and diversity of thought leads to creativity and innovation :3
90. One night you wake up because you heard a noise. You turn on the light to find that you are surrounded by MUMMIES. The mummies aren’t really doing anything, they’re just standing around your bed. What do you do?
First of all - this one is hilarious. Secondly… cry. Fun fact about me, if a zombie apocalypse were to happen, I would like to die, thanks! Don’t wanna deal with it, too scary and depressing. Anyhow - after crying, I would probably do the boring thing which is see if they react to anything, including movement and speech, and go from there. If no movement, J and I get up and leave and probably call my in-laws because they’re the real adults around here. 😂

hello sleepy! i wanted to bestow some vibes upon you. i've been ill for the past week, but a few of the things that have made me happy have been working on a new wip, going christmas shopping, and bingeing my favorite tv show. i hope you get a lot of the things that make you happy today <3
Oh hi Genre, that's no fun about being ill.
Tumblr media
Little Apricot is here to make you smile!
I've finished my Christmas shopping, just about. My legs are always a little bit sore because I go up and down stairs so much.
I watched bits of the 2017 live action Fullmetal alchemist movie for no particular reason. I still love it even though it's not good. I was playing my game (spiritfarer) when mom called me for dinner, and she said "You're sitting in the dark with your hood on?"
And I said "yeah. I'm a sith lord from the dark side of the house" and actually this shirt says star wars so it was perfect.
Also, I collect funny conversations that I have with my coworkers, so those will be compiled into a prompts list soon, I hope.
Alright! Vibes received and bounced, sending goodness straight back to you. Also here is some sunset because I love those.

ABOUT ME
Call me Ky (rhymes with eye)
I'm 22 & a libra
I'm a WOC
I'm sadly a working girly
I'm not straight (I don't have a gender preference)
I use she/her pronouns
I'm pretty introverted & shy
I suffer from depression & anxiety
I've had a tumblr since middle school
This is my 1st time being interactive with others on this app so please be sweet
I literally made this as like a low-key rant diary/Void to scream my interests & thoughts because life,years of trauma,& damn near crippling anxiety has fucked up my social skills & I just need an outlet. I don't expect I guess anyone to respond to this. I just don't want to continue being alone with my feelings & I think this could be a place to start. If anyone does respond to this you're welcome to comment (within reason & with kindness I beg of you),but be warned I'm super shy/anxious & will shy away from responding to messages (think of me as a scared stray & don't shake your pet food can at me too intently). I just want to get all my jitters/hyperfixations/Madness/general feelings & ickiness out. Also just an FYI dni if you're a minor/uncomfortable or triggered of talks of abuse & mental illness/a bigot of any kind/sex stuff (I'm not gonna go on about my nonexistent intimate life don't worry. I don't even really talk about sex like that I just have an interest in femdom stuff from time to time (me being the dom) & I think the psychology of it is interesting as well as the dynamic).
Ok now for the fun stuff
My interests (off the top of my head) include:
Movies
*horror/action/sci-fi/thriller/animated movies from my childhood & "some" of the new stuff
I like most MCU & DCEU movies (I owned a tumblr in the mid to late 2010s I'm practically a veteran. But I will say I have more nostalgia for the older mcu movies,but I kind of fell off in the past few years of fond remembrance outside of fandom for it as a whole. I actually really enjoy most of the new stuff (all of the shows except fatws/some of the 1st season of loki)
My favs include
Studio ghibli (I didn't watch a single movie till the age of 19) specifically Howl's moving castle/Spirited away/princess mononoke/kiki's delivery service/arriety/the cat returns. These movies fill with legit smiles & warmth
All the john wick movies (mf Keanu Reeves)
All of the evil dead movies
The lost boys

There's definitely more I just can't think off anything else
I'm not really a first person shooter game person & really don't like 1st person pov in games. I don't know why I just don't care for the perspective.

Hey, so for the new year I wanted to talk about some of my favorite things from this year!
So, some of these things came out pre-2021, but I experienced all of them for the first time this year.
I went with 5 choices for each category. The first one listed is my number 1 favorite, or tied with the one below it. The rest are in no particular order.
————————
Movies:
•Spiderman No Way Home
-Fuck Disney/Sony, but I will say that I was genuinely smiling all the way home from the theater after seeing this.
•Tick, Tick… BOOM!
-Musical movie directed my Lin Manuel Miranda and starring Andrew Garfield. It’s about Johnathan Larson’s life pre-Rent, working on a musical called Supurbia right before turning 30. Exactly what a movie adaptation of a movie should be.
•Encanto
-You’ve probably already seen lots of posts about it, but basically it’s a magic family full of fantastic characters dealing with generational trauma. Some of the songs truly slap.
•Bo Burnham’s Inside
-Funny and also heartbreaking. If you don’t know him, Bo Burnham’s a comedian who combines music and comedy. Well, Inside’s all about him trying to make a comedy special while stuck in his house during quarantine. There’s not really any way to describe it that makes sense, so just watch it. (tw for all sorts of stuff including talk of mental illness and suicide. If you’re worried, I’d suggest looking up trigger warnings before jumping in)
•The Secret World of Arrietty
-Studio Ghibli movie that I think is really underrated. All about a race of tiny people called Borrowers who live hidden away in the houses of ‘human beans,’ taking only what they need. It’s super cute!
————————
Tv:
•What We Do In The Shadows
-So chaotic and good and fantastically queer. I legit could never fully express how this show makes me feel, I truly love it so so so much. Hilarious comedy about vampires in modern day. I cannot recommend it enough.
•Young Royals
-Short Swedish show about a Prince falling in love with a boy from his new private school. It’s a really cute romance, but the show itself is really good on its own. (tw for vomit in the first episode)
•Over The Garden Wall
-You’re probably already familiar with this fantastic miniseries from Cartoon Network, since it came out years ago and is super popular. Well I finally watched it this year, and I definitely think it lives up to the hype. It’s super creepy and fun. Perfect for around Halloween.
•WandaVision
-I absolutely loved it, but if you’re not already into marvel stuff, it’s not gonna make much sense.
•Bob Ross: The Joy of Painting
-Ok, I know I’m literally decades behind on this one, but I only watched it for the first time this year. Super calming and enjoyable. Definitely check it out if you haven’t before.
————————
Games:
•Inscryption
-Literally finished this like 2 hours ago, and it’s what made me think of making this list. It’s so fucking good, I’m obsessed. You definitely wanna go in blind, but I will say it’s a creepy card game with some roguelike, escape room, and rpg elements. (tw for blood and self harm)
•Slime Rancher
-This is the game I definitely logged the most hours in from this list, with ~30 hours in my first playthrough and ~45 hours in my second (both this year). Super cute exploration/farming sim game with a surprisingly heartwarming story.
•Jackbox Party Pack 3
-another thing I was definitely behind on lol. Party pack 4 is still my favorite so far, but I absolutely loved this one when I played it for the first time this year. A pack of a bunch of iconic minigames to play with friends. Great for keeping touch during Covid!
•Spiritfarer
-You are the new spiritfarer, tasked with bringing spirits to their final destination with your magic boat. You get to explore this super cool world while developing relationships with the spirits. I cried way too much while playing this, but like in the best way.
•Townscaper
-super cute game where you get to design your own towns on the water. Super simple ui and fantastic graphics. There isn’t a crazy ton you can do, but it’s super enjoyable anyways.
————————
Books:
•One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston
-lesbian romance about an ex-child detective turned waitress and her girlfriend who’s kinda dead and has been trapped out of time on the New York subway Q train since the 70’s. Ah, classic love story! But seriously, I highly recommend. It also gets pretty spicy if you’re into that lol. Oh, and did I mention the major found family vibes?
•The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
-another gay romance story with a huge focus on found family! Who woulda guessed? This one is very different thematically, but just as good. Older main character who reluctantly falls in love with a house full of “dangerous” magical kids and their kindhearted caretaker.
•Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
-this book is just full of fun stuff like magic and secret societies, but it also deals with serious subjects like how racism is deeply ingrained in so many of our institutions, and how being passive about it will never actually do anything to fix the problem. It’s a bit long, but definitely worth the read.
•A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab
-fantastically written start to a well loved fantasy trilogy. I’m currently reading book 2, and so far the quality has not gone down at all. Dimension hopping, treason, pirate girls, really fucking cool magic, this series has it all! (tw for blood and self harm)
•A Complicated Love Story Set in Space by Shaun David Hutchinson
-This one is a really fun gay romance sci fi that doesn’t take itself too seriously in the best way. It probably won’t be for everyone, but I throughly enjoyed it.
————————
Graphic Novels:
•On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden
-The very first book I read this year and it absolutely did not disappoint. Another gay romance found family book, this time set in an absolutely fantastically made sci fi world. Like legit I could go on and on about how much I love the world Walden created for this story.
•Heartstopper vol. 1-4 by Alice Oseman
-Super cute gay high school romance. Not a ton to say about this one, it’s pretty simple. But, it takes that simple premise and still makes it super enjoyable anyway. I believe this one is also available online for free. (tw for eating disorders and self harm mentions)
•Squad by Maggie Tokuda-Hall and Lisa Sterle
-High school popular girls who are secretly werewolves and use their abilities to kill and eat predatory men. Need I say more? Oh yeah, there’s also a lesbian romance in it.
•The Magic Fish by Trung Lee Nguyen
-The main character is a young boy who wants to come out to his family, but struggles due to some language barriers between him and his immigrant parents. Instead, they find ways to communicate through the sharing of the fairy tales they grew up on. The art is beautiful and the story is amazingly poetic.
•Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me by Mariko Tamaki
-so different from every other queer romance story I’ve ever read. Truly unique in the best way. Perhaps if someone has broken up with you multiple times, you should stop getting back together lmao.
————————
So yeah! Here are some of my favorite pieces of media from 2021! Feel free to send me some of your favorites if you want to, I’d love to see them!

Autistic Burnout: Roughly Four Years Later
Three years ago I posted the first edition of this series. I am very pleased to tell you some things have changed over the probably four years since this all started. For one, my memory has improved. I can remember things from months and years ago, depending on the thing, and my working memory has gotten better. I still have bad days (days where an entire hour can be spent asking essentially the same question over and over because I keep forgetting the answer) but I've also gotten much better at identifying the bad days and not asking too much of myself. As predicted, I still don't remember much of that first year or the months precipitating my burnout.
Other things I've noted are continued issues with reading and newly identified aphantasia. I've probably had difficulty using my "mind's eye" most of my life (the easiest example is when you're playing a video game and you open the map, close it, and instantly need to open the map again because you couldn't hold the information in your head), as evidenced by the way my dreams work, but this year I finally learned the word for it and that I do have issues with it - because I'm finally playing video games. While I've wanted to play video games all of my adult life, last year was my first year with a console of my own (a Switch Lite) and towards the end of the year I started to have disposable income of my own. This encouraged me to look up disability friendly games to play, and in turn I learned the words to look for when figuring out if a game is for me - aim assist for my dyspraxia, quest logs and map markers for my aphantasia, subtitles for my cognitive impairments. I've played ACNH, Among Us, Spiritfarer, Immortals: Fenyx Rising, and tried a couple others this past year. I look forward to Bayonetta and Torchlight 2.
This past year was also the second year I read a book. The year before that, 2019, it took me months to read a single nonfiction book. In 2020 I read all of Peeps by Scott Westerfield in a week. I was really missing my old life, the eat books by the handful person I used to be, so I looked up the wisdom of disabled people who have come before me, I looked into what dyslexic people do to read. (If you take one piece of advice in all of this, it's that there's disabled people who have been where you are and know things you don't that can help you get to where you want to go.) I figured out that reading out loud, chunking (using pieces of paper to block out all but one paragraph on the page to keep you from getting overwhelmed or zooming), and reading while listening to the audiobook work for me. I got halfway through the sequel, The Last Days, before I realized I didn't want to finish it and dropped it, and while I've only read a Battlestar Galactica graphic novel since, I do have plans to read some other books from my past in the future. Knowing that it's possible alleviates the anxiety and makes it easier when I do get there.
Paradoxically, and yet predictably, I flourished during this first year of quarantine. I do laundry every week, as well as consistently wash dishes, manage trash, pick up the bedroom, but I also cook for myself. I organize my pillbox, I make weekly grocery lists, I've been keeping a journal, and I make monthly financial plans for myself. I watch YouTube videos of every length and can watch movies again as of this year. I keep up with over ten podcasts, varying from disease anthologies to comedy. In January of 2021, I experienced the most voracious want to experience new things, new food, new sights, new smells. I consider this notable because I had only let new things into my life in small, slow ways since the burnout. Being autistic, I acknowledge that I crave control to protect myself and also because it's part of being autistic. Opening myself up to the unknown is a huge step in feeling safe and stable.
These gains were hard fought. This past fall and winter were awful, with three months of it being spent in an ill-maintaining-ill-maintaining cycle that left me so tired I went on a liquid diet for a week afterword so as to not even think about food. In January, my family and I realized we had lost family members to QAnon and I accepted that for my sake my parents and maternal grandparents are dead to me. The people around me have hit another wall and have no emotional bandwidth to reach out anymore, leaving it to me (the one with bad memory and emotional object permanence) to manage the labor of reaching out consistently. I am still thriving.
Time has shown me I will remain cognitively disabled on top of all the other things for the rest of my life, but having the language to talk about my needs and leaning on the people who have come before me will help me craft the best life for me. I hope me talking about my experience helps you feel like you're not alone if you're also going/have gone through autistic burnout, or at least helped you understand that burnout is not a life ender. It's a life changer for sure. But my life is still worth living, and the labor spent figuring out how best to live it has been worth it.

Mio’s Status Report - February
Hi, I didn’t left Tumblr or this blog, I’m just going through life. And health stuff.
I am sometimes motivated to continue or post new stuff, but the energy isn’t there. I’ve been in peculiar stuck with the latest Hiveswap Act 2 audio editing’s progress. Doing it manually is demotivating and time consuming. Since it’s been a while, I remind y’all that it’s just the unpleasant noises and breathing on the mike that I’m removing, I’m not even putting funny text. And nah, I haven’t find a good way to automatically remove ‘em , I tried. So I’ll continue to work on it when I’ll feel it, I definitely won’t abandon this project.
Moving on to incoming important stuff:
In a few days, I will receive my new system unit for a Windows computer. This one will be used mainly for gaming purposes. Though I have yet to figure out the OBS program stuff for this one. It has a better RAM, sound, internal room, so there’s no worry about sacrificing hard Go on the internal disk anymore.
The bad news is that I haven’t managed to find a proper screen for it yet. Gonna pursue my search.
I also need better headphones (the current ones hurt after an hour or so) with a mike on it.
With the “nO iT’s NoT fOr MaC” annoying barrier removed, I’ll be able to purchase several games that I’ve been ogling for a while. Here’s a non-exhaustive list, including games that are both on Mac and Windows: Hades, Spiritfarer, Age of Empires II: Definite Edition (only between friends), Stray (coming in 2021), El Hijo - A Wild West Tale, Paralives (TBA)…
Here’s the games I already have in my Steam library that I wish to play: Untitled Goose Game, The Gardens Between, The Stillness of the Wind, Machinarium… Some will be recorded, and others will be done on my own. Nothin’ is set in stone.
Perhaps I’ll purchase Oxygen Not Included? Idk, I like playing it with my bro, but it isn’t the type of game I’ll be good at, with all the complex management and stress inducing situations. We’ll see.
I know I said a year ago that I’ll figure out the Streaming thing, but there’s still the sound issue on Mac, so having the new computer soon will open doors on that prospect too.
I have several HS quick thoughts in store, however I can’t force myself, especially when I’m ill. For this too, I’ll do it when I’ll feel it, and god damn do I want them to be done!! That’s it for now, I hope ya folks are doing well work and health-wise, I think I’ll take it easy this week. See ya soon, hopefully~ PS: Of course I will do the other acts of Hiveswap (and Hauntswitch if it ever see the light of day), gonna finish Act 2 first!
