4. What is guaranteed to make you happy stim?Really good fan art/headcanons for my comfort characters/special interest, or a trailer for a movie I’ve been excited for.

6. What are your favourite stims/things to stim with?Hand flapping and playing with tangles. Though I’ll fidget with anything I can get my hands on.

12. What are your favourite things about being autistic?Special interests and stimming. I love hearing people info dump and collecting stim toys is really fun.

I’m bringing back the shop spotlight! This week it’s StrangerDarkerBetter!

@jenroses Carmina Burana is so fun!

So, funny story... when I was...idk senior year must have been? We sang it. Our choir director was a very religious person, and refused hands down to give us a translation. This was before Google, kiddies. But! I had a good friend who was an exchange student! Who spoke 6 languages! Including French, German, Italian, English and some Latin.  We got the gist. And there was WAY more giggling than if she’d just given us the damn translation already. Also, our baritone and soprano soloists were staggeringly good. Mature sopranos CANNOT pull off Dulcissime as well as a young soprano--her voice went up to the highest notes SO easily, stayed there like a lazy day, and wandered back down like a goddamn miracle from heaven. Minimal vibrato... given the subject matter of that segment, it needed that lightness.  And the baritone was amazing for a 17 year old. Like seriously buttery.

“When you’re a kid, they tell you it’s all… grow up. Get a job. Get married. Get a house. Have a kid, and that’s it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It’s so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better.”

My dog, as much as she sometimes infuriates me

Meeting and connecting with other fans, especially if they just get something that’s really important to me in the series/with the characters

My parents spending genuine time with me, especially if we’re doing something we both enjoy

Seeing comments or receiving messages that let me know something I posted/wrote meant something to someone else or they learned from it

8. What does your headspace look like?

It’s a huge house in a forest with a small beach access. If you go down another path you’ll either lose your way and end up back at the main house or find a house a little smaller, though. Outside the main house on the right is a garden and on the left of the house is a playset for the littles. In the back, it leads off a cliff that only two of my alters know how to get down safely. 

As for the house itself for how big as it is we tend to stay rooms together. I’ve never talked about my system members but all the little boys are in one room so that’s 2, the little girls have 3, J and Crystal in the basement, Blair and Blaze in one room, Aleks and Siku in another. Even I share a room if I’m not fronting. 

We have a big open “living room” type area where it’s like a hang out spot really and mainly looks like a living room beside a giant console/monitor that we stand at when we front

9. If they could all chose to have their own bodies, would they?

Some of us would definitely, but others are fine just where they are. 

10. Do you have any non-human members?

Yes I have a few nymphs, an alien, and a shapeshifter (human to wolf)

12. Do you have a schedule for fronting?
