Not being aware of your expression could be an autism thing but I also think it’s just a people thing because everyone I know (autistic or not) has a neutral or “resting” face that they’re normally not aware of. Although, depending on the situation, it could also be related to mismatched facial expressions/emotions which is an autism thing (smiling when sad or frowning when happy for example)

The smiling at people in the room no matter your emotion could be an internal rule you’ve come up with for how to socialize. In which case, it would be an autism thing.

Crying if water splashes on you could be a sensory thing if you don’t like some sensory aspect of water and that’s why you cried. It could also, again, be internal rules about not liking water on you. For example, I’ve always loved water. But I have an internal rule about it not getting on my face if I’m anywhere but the shower and get upset if my face gets wet say, at the pool. Both of these reasons would be autism things.

Not knowing why you’re crying could be due to alexithymia, which many autistic people experience. So, yes it would be an autism thing.

it’s something my friends tell me a lot haha. i’m not sure, its mostly because i find it hard to work out what my feelings are

i think a good example of this is a crush i had on a girl in year 11. i switched guitar groups so i could spend more time with her, and she made me smile and !!!! whenever she messaged me. i wanted to kiss her i guess but i also didnt. like i was more comfortable in having a crush than the idea of actually going out with her. so i found comfort when our contact and my crush on her inevitably sizzled out. shes actually recently started a band and im like !!! for her bc shes amazingly talented (we used to perform together) and hella cute

also i just. dont get crushes the same as all my friends do. i just. dont. im not sure how to explain it. we reckon im some sort of a-spec but i dont rly wanna put a label on it and im not a fan of the SAM, i’ve just accepted im slightly weird in this aspect

also possibly because of my Rules. i wont go out with someone whose friendship i highly value, because it’s not worth losing them when it inevitably ends. i wont go out with someone who i have not met in a going out type context (eg. its okay to go out with someone i met somewhere and we started talking/flirting and thats our only real point of contact at first, but it’s not okay to go out with someone in your friendship group or who is friends with multiple of your friends)

expertise: what experiences have you had that would make good guides?

Eu não sei se tenho muitas não. Acho que baseado em experiências pessoais eu poderia fazer algum guide sobre como escrever personagens que tenham depressão, ou que estudem/trabalhem com jornalismo (já que eu sou formada nessa área). Ou então para personagens introvertidos, talvez? E eu já escrevi um guide que é bem baseado em experiências pessoais que é o de personagens assexuais. Agora, saindo da área de guides de personagens e mais para rp em si, eu acho que conseguiria escrever um guide sobre como moderar um rp, já que eu já passei por esse perrengue umas três vezes.  

delight: what do you wish you’d see more of in the tags?

Em termos de rph, eu acho que ainda tem algumas coisas que faltam na tag br. Eu acho que seria legal ver mais guides de coisas relacionadas a personagens, porque pelo o que eu vejo os rphs focam mais em coisas mais rápidas e em resources de photoshop e tal. Tanto que quase sempre quando me perguntam se eu sei de algum guide pra jogar um personagem de tal tipo, a maioria das coisas que eu acho é em inglês, eu acho que seria bem bacana ter esses conteúdos mais acessíveis em português.

reminisce: what is your most cherished memory of being an rph?

Eu gostei bastante de quando eu postei aquele guide sobre como escrever personagens assexuais e várias pessoas mandaram asks e comentaram/fizeram perguntas, interagiram bastante com o que eu escrevi. E ainda depois veio gente que disse que fez personagem assexual em um rp depois de ler meu guide. Esse tipo de coisa me deixa feliz pelas coisas que eu faço aqui (ainda mais esse guide que foi um dos meus favoritos de fazer).
