I WANTED TO PLAY A GAME.

I redrew the portraits of every playable character (and important NPC) in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade (FE6… the one with Roy in it).

Dorothea: Hubie is in the kitchen.

/ref!!!

Oh what’s this?! It’s my full piece for the Bernadetta von Varley Zine!

Even though it’s been a while, this piece is still one of the most elaborate drawings I’ve worked on and I’m super thrilled to be finally able to share it✨

But what all of that completely ignores is there are negative sides to autism and we will sometimes do things that piss you off. No one wants to deal with the meltdowns or the complete and utter lack of empathy or the anger and the depression. What about those of us who self injure when we stim and have angry explosive meltdowns? Who are occassionally too blunt and too withdrawn and rude and offputting?

I'm not saying it's your job to deal with all of that. It is also on us to try to manage and control our own behavior. But it just seems to me like everyone wants nuerodivergent pride until we do something you don't like. Until we start acting "scary".

Autism is a disability for many people for a reason.
