Idk what to put here rn

Hi! honestly the thing that helped me most was just going on reddit and actually reading for hours. like i remember sitting there going through an autism community and someone described how exhausting eye contact is, and not because they don’t want to connect but because it takes up so much mental energy that they can’t focus on the conversation at the same time. That one post completely changed how i wrote a character i’d been struggling with for months. You genuinely don’t get that from any textbook. For trauma it was similar, i found myself in communities where people talked about how their body reacts before their brain even catches up, the physical stuff, and that was so useful

Communities like r/ADHD, r/autism, r/AuDHD, or whatever is specific to what your character experiences are so worth lurking in for a while before you even start writing. just reading how people talk to each other, what language they use, what they find exhausting about how they’re portrayed in media, or what tropes make them want to throw a book across the room.

same with youtube, finding creators who actually talk about their own experience rather than explaining it to neurotypicals is such a different thing.

and sensitivity readers, honestly can’t recommend it enough. even just one person with lived experience reading your draft will catch things that months of research won’t because some stuff you just genuinely cannot know from the outside. a lot of people are happy to help when they see someone actually putting in the effort

happy birthday, yuga,

my sweet child.

no amount of hatred can make me despise you.

do not think of yourself as a traitor.

you were nothing -

you are nothing

but a child,

and you were

manipulated,

brainwashed,

forced

into a role that broke you.

you can regret,

and you can despair,

but do not tear yourself apart.

because out of everyone,

you need to shine the brightest,

to show the world that his hands no longer hold you in his palm -

but instead, you are your own star

in a constellation of heroes,

and you cannot

ever

stop twinkling

.

smile, aoyama yūga.

the world shall know you for who you will become, not who you were once constrained to be.

what traitor?

My family works hard to protect and maintain wildlife, as well as our history. To see the home I grew up in destroyed would break me.

Not to mention, they're trying to buy out family farms, communities, and forested areas that are homes to wildlife. These companies try to take advantage of the poverty here by promising jobs and economic growth from data centers to people who are desperate for money. They also often assume we are uneducated and idiotic due to classist stereotypes.

These farms and homes may seem unimportant to most people, but many of these have been passed down from generation to generation and mean a great deal to families. To sell them would be a betrayal. Yet, many are left with no other options.

Data centers often ruin water supplies, create higher levels of pollution, and disrupt daily life for many communities.

PLEASE, whenever you see ways to support these communities and prevent the building of data centers, engage! Knowledge is power, so educate yourselves on the good and the bad of AI. Advocate for change and the enviroment.

the awkward 11 year old kid on financial aid at his fancy private school, with blue candy wrappers in his pocket and a blue eraser so he won't fail the test. blue marker doodles on his arm that he drew in the lobby of the principal's office so he won't get expelled (again.) blue t-shirt on the first day of summer, so maybe his stepdad won't take notice of him when he comes back from boarding school. blue birthday cake so the next year will be lucky and blue pancakes because him and his mom made them together and blue backpack so maybe this school will be the one where people will treat him like he's Normal.

he's wearing a red jacket when the Minotaur attacks him and his mom on Half-blood Hill and he'll never wear that color again. when it's time to pick roommates in sixth grade at Yancy Academy and he doesn't have any friends to reach for immediately, he picks the boy with the blue shoes. this boy's name is grover underwood and he's a good roommate choice because later he'll turn out be a great satyr and one of the best friends this kid's ever had. percy wraps blue paper tape on his sword's hilt when the leather grip is falling apart and the walls of his mom's boyfriend's apartment (the jerk stepdad died) are dark blue so maybe this new guy will be cool. sally and paul's wedding ring is a blue diamond so yeah, he's cool. fuck.

they can think he's weird. superstitions mean nothing in greek mythology. but he's just scared. Luke Castellan's eyes were blue but when Kronos possessed him, they turned gold. nine year old in his fourth boarding school in four years, walking home wondering if his mom still cares because he doesn't know she's sending him away to make the monsters lose track, he just thinks she's sending him as far as possible from her. being reassured by the fact that she remembered to bring blue candy from her job at Sweet on America to greet him home for Christmas break and his stepdad will call them weird but he won't take notice.

he'll redo the blue paper tape on the sword's hilt for the entire month after the battle of manhattan so nothing else goes wrong, kronos won't come back, it'll really be over. and when that goes doesn't work and the giants rise on August 1st he'll wear blue instead of his CHB t-shirt so Gaea will fall.
