I found this (weirdly yonic but let's try to ignore that) Venn Diagram this morning. If it's accurate, then it explains why I've spent day much time looking at autism and going, "Am I.. ? No, I'm not. Am I though? No. But, am I?..."

What I AM is so enormously, obviously ADHD, I can't believe it took me so long to notice. Even after my brother got diagnosed, I was like, oh, good for him, I wonder what that's like... 🙃

I'm really curious about the bullet point "webbed/interconnected thought patterns" though. What does that mean? What does it mean to NOT think like that? I need examples, people!

And while I'm here, I wanna know what makes an interest "special".

Anyway I'm supposed to be working right now, bye

Dangerous, but not wicked. Sinister, but not malicious. That's the sort of demoness I desire to be. I wonder... how attainable is that? I suppose the only way to know is to try.

I enjoy embodying peril, horizons ripe with ecstatic agony. Inflicting it on the unwilling, however... frankly, I find that far less fun than searching out the sort of crazed perverts who want the sinful twists I'll vivisect into them.

Working off of the characterization I provided in the previous "Librus Talks" thoughtpiece, I am once again introducing this by basically saying "Yeah, anxiety and trauma sucks."

The above post is from a mentor/teacher figure in my life (who actually is a teacher), Talen Lee. Odds are if you're seeing anything I make, you already have heard about him, as I've incessantly followed him around since my introduction to The Internet. But if you have not: well, firstly, check out his blog, and secondly, the above quote can be appropriated to him. The actual quote comes from an entry regarding a fandom's reaction to a Star Trek characters' sexuality, and while it's more about how "canon" in terms of full-scale major IPs is sort of a mess not worth arguing about, it rounds off in regards to how this extends to your own work and... well, something I've been introduced to calling The Panopticon.

... I'd write this on my actual website, but it's sort of in a weird limbo phase right now (that has only been enhanced due to the events disclosed here). So here we go! Witness my deep, personal thoughts and feelings, Eggbug...!
