stuff and things

The only thing Viz has hold of are publishing and marketing rights, and we all know they’ve been leeching on the property while doing nothing to aid the upkeep of the site they legally promised to manage. It’s a corporation interested only in whatever is the most profitable at the time — that being recent manga releases, not archiving webcomics from the 2010’s they purchased to turn into print books. It fucking sucks. And I’ve already said this before: it would be all the more beneficial to Viz if people had to buy the books to read Homestuck.

The flashes were never converted into anything but shitty blurred YouTube videos, I don’t even know if most of the games are still playable, and *I* was one of the people to point out the search function was randomly breaking the site, which led to the screencapped post. (You got an error trying to reach pages from google, and also from trying to search pages with the in-site engine. I still don’t fucking know what’s up with that.)

The unofficial HS collection is a community effort to emulate and preserve the way Homestuck was meant to be read before it got mishandled by a disinterested corpo board. Hussie isn’t a Viz manager and this isn’t the first time they’ve acknowledged the company’s fuck-ups - just recently a bunch of minor gifs and icons used in the comic were broken and they had those fixed. It’s kinda silly to act like we’re not watching an author with little control over their work wrestle with people who don’t care to keep it online in real time.

-wake up at 6am

-shower at 6:15am

-eat breakfast at 6:30am

-do important outings at 7am

-come home at 3pm

and so on..

And that is nothing like what I and many other autistic people experience (though it is what some experience).

Routine can be more accurately described as needing to do things in order to feel comfortable.

For example, I have no set time I wake up, I have no set time I do anything. But when I do wake up, I need to do my morning tasks in a specific order or I’ll struggle to function.

I get out of bed, turn on my lamp, switch my computer on, go to the bathroom, make my bed, get dressed, and sit down at my desk. That’s what a routine looks like to me.

If I’m cooking, I need to do things in a certain order or the food will be “wrong” (this could possibly be down to ARFID, but that is also comorbid with autism.)

There are other things like this. I guess you could call them mini routines. They aren’t a typical routine you’d see in a neurotypical or even someone who’s allistic.

For the longest time, I thought this was a symptom of autism I did not have at all but I do.
