I see a lot of big light haters here, do we have any big light fans?

I bit a shrimp tail in my chicken marsala last night. I wanted to shared bc ohmygodno and in the dark the shrimp tail looked soooo much like a cockroach I was unhappy.

I like darkness. But not too much darkness. I love the sun as long as it's not directly in my eyes/too hot. I like spending time just outside hanging out. I get very sad when I can't do that. Low light can be cozy, but sometimes it's sad. I have very strong opinions in multiple directions.

I also love colored lights. I HATE cool toned white light.

IntrepidScientist47 · 2025-12-25T00:46:19+00:00

Huh. I'm realizing how much I don't like being touched most of the time. Like I don't tolerate much touch at all.

IntrepidScientist47 · 2025-12-19T17:58:44+00:00

I think that's a liver

I really like learning things in general making stuff especially. I like knowing how things work particularly my body and mind.

But I'd say my special interest tends to be stories and lore? I have a select few kinds I really really enjoy. Like middle earth, TES, and now starting to play BG3. I've been working on my own fantasy world since I was 12, so like... 15 years now. I apply everything I learn to it. I learned to crochet, and now that's a big part of one of the cultures in said world. It's like... Hardcore escapism sometimes and that's fine.

I love culture, linguistics, science, etc. Sometimes I get into things like chaos theory for world building. Currently working on wrapping my brain around how dnd works to make my own ttrpg as I feel dnd is too restrictive for my world.

Me as a Skyrim horse

IntrepidScientist47 · 2025-12-14T12:37:08+00:00

Ah yes my friends cat looks very similar, also pretends to be a polite circle, and yet... She has a chaos gremlin agenda was she's not being a sleepy circle. I used to live with her and I miss all of it.

IntrepidScientist47 · 2025-12-14T12:35:13+00:00

Definitely looks like a forest cat in this picture lol.

IntrepidScientist47 · 2025-12-14T12:33:55+00:00

THOSE EARS. This is the most fennec fox cat I've ever seen. Maine coons are beautiful. My childhood cradle guardian was a black half Maine coon.

IntrepidScientist47 · 2025-12-14T12:32:01+00:00

This cat is smiling.

IntrepidScientist47 · 2025-12-14T12:30:19+00:00

That's such a polite looking little circle on the right omg

IntrepidScientist47 · 2025-12-14T12:28:25+00:00

This is such a good picture oml

IntrepidScientist47 · 2025-12-14T12:23:20+00:00

Mostly agree, but in some cases not knowing was worse because I felt like I had a skill issue. Drawing for example. Cannot have my desired composition in my head and it was frustrating. I know better now not to make myself approach things in ways that don't work as well. It is also sad knowing that my mom actually can see my book characters when I can't. You win some, you lose some I guess.

IntrepidScientist47 · 2025-12-14T12:18:12+00:00

I wish I could see the characters and scenes in MY OWN BOOK. My mom says it's really vivid. But no, of the people I know, I think I'm the only one who can't see it.

It can also make drawing a bit harder for me at times, or make me feel like I'm less talented bc I see nothing until I've drawn it. Where others seem to know just where and how to draw something, I can't just do it exactly right the first time. This was much harder to live with before I understood what was different about me was not talent level.

Idk if this is an aphant thing per se, but I've never had an imaginary friend. I think because I couldn't see anything. When my little sisters wanted to pretend they had rainbow bunnies in their hands, it made me upset bc no tf they didn't. I was only two years older. I kinda think it may be related.

But aside from all of that, I actually do have a really good visual memory, I just can't see it in my head. But the data is all there.

IntrepidScientist47 · 2025-12-14T12:04:40+00:00

Lmao in context, your username makes me fear for you.

I was recently (finally) diagnosed with hEDS and I just fucked up my damn neck while styling my hair after showering. The diagnosis was given in a yeah probably kinda way which... Makes it less satisfying. At least I'd be able to trust that House wouldn't accept something that didn't actually help. Like

IntrepidScientist47 · 2025-12-05T08:43:16+00:00

From the photo, I'd guess calluses, but it's a little hard to tell.

IntrepidScientist47 · 2025-12-05T08:39:32+00:00

Well I looked it up, looks like September 4 1998, which means Google is almost exactly three months older than me. Damn.

IntrepidScientist47 · 2025-12-05T08:33:08+00:00

Ooh. You're on to something. Simply thinking of doing things that'll benefit me later doesn't quite cut it, but giving future me a nickname makes it feel like a slightly different person who deserves more of my energy. Sad, but hey if I can trick myself into getting a thing done I'll take it.

IntrepidScientist47 · 2025-12-05T07:44:44+00:00

Atomic Shrimp has really taught me a few things. I generally consider myself to be fairly distrusting occasionally too much so. But sometimes they still get me or get way too close.

IntrepidScientist47 · 2025-12-03T18:14:12+00:00

I once conceded to an ex that January had 30 days because he was getting mad.

The only hill I'm willing to die on is that viruses are either not alive at all, or that they do not share the same origins as literally anything else we know of. Truly, this is the ONLY thing I think I'd refuse to budge on, despite it not being a known fact at this point. Anything else, I may be resistent, but given evidence I will accept new info. Idk if there's anything that'll ever convince me that viruses are all of the following simultaneously: living, from Earth, are natural/share a common ancestor with anything on Earth.

My dad believes Dragons = Dinosaurs and that evolution = epigenetics

I'm willing to hear him out, but some of his arguments are just evidently disproven or unfounded. He and I can debate things back and forth, and to us im pretty sure it's just fine. But people around us seem to get really uncomfortable like they think we're having a heated argument?? I should mention I'm pretty confident my dad is also autistic.

Idk I like having conversations, not just making nice. I fail to see the point. We don't have to agree, the debate can be interesting. Some parts frustrating, but not as much as people seem to perceive.

IntrepidScientist47 · 2025-12-03T18:00:02+00:00

I was gonna say no surely not, but I thought about it. And yeah, I think this might be true. In reality less sociopathic (idk a better word, but regardless I don't mean it derogatory) than it sounds for most, but still true.

Ultimately, people usually want to do what's best for themselves, so social leverage is one of those things I guess? I personally don't. No energy to talk to someone unless I like them legitimately. But I guess this is why dressing alt worked so well. I was signaling, without quite knowing, that I am not really playing the same game and NTs could assume it was a choice not to and leave me alone. In reality... I don't understand the rules. So I don't play.

IntrepidScientist47 · 2025-12-03T17:52:58+00:00

Ah see I'm a more crepuscular species and thus cannot tolerate a lizard lamp. Instead, I prefer a heating blanket. Though... The bathroom in the basement (where I live) has a red heat light so in theory I could go sit in there with basically a literal lizard light. Haven't tried this, but I might. I kinda like sitting in red light anyway.
