Mischief, Whimsy, and Autism

To anyone who thinks they might be losing a therio/kintype because its not fun anymore, think about your average human person. They aren't overjoyed to be human. That isn't something they even think about. You might have just gotten over the initial novelty of the experience, but that doesn't mean the experience isn't still with you. Try connecting more to the things you CAN feel, good or bad.

My fellow kin: sometimes you've just gotta sit in the grass on top of a hill and breathe deep. Earth is beautiful. This life is worth living. Go buy an ice cream and sit in the park and watch the sun skate across the sky. Get lost in a comic book. Rest your head on the shoulder of a good friend.

Shout out to all the #loomheads who are liking this piece. I tried very hard in my research to make it a decent depiction so these tags both make me laugh & very pleased!

We're all familiar with the animalistic traits some of us exhibit during shifts - growling, hissing, howling, etc. But what about those of us who are more monstrous, more eldritch, more alien, or less... acceptable?
