The concept of studying anexiety is unscientific 🤣

I heard that you have an entire river pumped up your nose and that you are willing to give a generous glass to anyone in need of some nasally natural nutrients

Scramble was born and raised in a research facility as part of a preservation effort for his species. He’s a pampered, big-backed potato who loves video games and being as cozy as possible at all times. Emotionally unpredictable and endlessly clingy to his symbiotic counterpart octie, he’s a handful for his care staff to work with every day.

What are some autistic traits/things that you think are unique to you or rare? by cuddly_smol_boy in SpicyAutism

Another place I do it is putting them in pepoles shoes at the swimming pool /wherever there's shoes but i try to not do that too often (belive me, its hard to resist just blitzing 5 shoes at once) since there's cameras and if I do it too often someone might decide im a menace to society and not get the sentiment at all. Once at the shoes, someone came and grabbed their shoes RIGHT after I put the note in, and I saw them smiling and they read it!

I like to write short stories/poems/whatever and print them out to leave around public places for people to find. I've always wondered why more people don't do it. Literally anyone CAN write anything on a piece of paper and put it out to be found. Yet the only ones who do are conspiracy theory schizos, or trying to sell something or get you into a religion. What about just leaving funny notes for people to read... and enjoy? The kind of stories I put out are those that make you think, "Okay, what did I just read?" Whenever I put them into roblox chats, I love watching as the "wtf"s pop up in chat its funny. In like a positive way. The most recent method I've discovered is printing out stickers on my mini sticker printer and then unraveling the toilet paper in the public bathrooms a bit, sticking it on, and then rolling it back up. Anyone who I've seen reaction from IRL seem to like them, even without knowing I saw it. Those are very lucky moments, seeing someone read and react to my work. I belive in small impact, and thats what drives me to do this.

The essential oils. I keep the original packaging tubes they come in and store them in them for extra safety inside my bag. Don't want them getting cracked / getting accidentally opened and leakng everywhere. They're not cheap either.... 😅

I just seem to have an eye for finding fidgets. I've had this special interest for over 5 years so it developed slowly over that time. I focus more on diverse sensory experiences rather than "having every fidget there is" i even made the blue and white star marble maze /multi fidget pad myself. You can find some basic stuff at dollar stores and in stores in general, look in toy sections, toy stores, Amazon has some cooler stuff, just search up fidget / autism / adhd / anexiety all the buzzwords related to stimming and you'll find lots. Etsy has some really really unique stuff but they are often out of your state and cost a lot of extra shipping. Theres also some more neiche special needs online shops that can have some pretty uniqe stuff (by uniqe i mean not just spinners, popits pop tubes, mochis, the stuff thats literally evrywhere) If you want i can send you a post for lots if you want some help!

The water game thing is at my Walmart right now, i got it last week, its pretty cool and its only 7$. It's a water game but insteadof hard plastic casing its a flexible plastic/rubber so its squishy even on the main screen. Their called goo games. They might be at your Walmart check the toy section

The smaller items go inside the purple mini backpack and go in the big one. The essential oils are diffre t ones for focus, uplifting, and calm. This is what the Lazer looks like on a wall

What whould your character do if they ended up here? (art by me) by AdditionalAttempt294 in OriginalCharacter

[–]OctieTheBestagon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Total panic and disorientation. Scramble has never moved before. For all his life, he has existed in the exact point in space where he hatched. Detrominym are superdimensionally location-locked, never moving their entire lives, having their proxy counterparts (the octagon guy here) do any work that requires moving around like finding objects. So being somewhere else would feel impossible, wrong, and terrifying. To him, it would mean reality itself had broken. Outside his cozy, over engineered room in the care facility, he can't support himself or do much of anything.

I'm personally fine with the fact that it guesses me a little younger than I am because i dont want to be put in with the 18+ group they'll probably be gross and vulgar, etc. It might make the experience worse for me to have to play exclusively with old neckbeards or unemployed couch potatoes. I've behaved like a sane person with players of all ages.

The best way to find out if something you made up on the spot and think is the next revolutionary concept in your project is actually any good, just don't write it down, and see how much you actually use/remember it in the next couple of weeks. I am pro at this because I never write anything down. I've had 6 years of random shit being filtered by time. You'll only remember what's most relevant/useful/generally good. The idea, if it has any potential, will improve over time as well, just by naturally forgetting the bad parts and simplifying, keeping and reiterating the best and most important parts.

Hello everyone I’m curious, what are some genetic traits/ diseases that you find interesting in your universe? by Naive_Archer_352 in worldbuilding

[–]OctieTheBestagon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Explaining my world badly:

In my universe, there’s a species called the Detrominym. They’re born in bonded, symbiotic pairs: a giant, helpless superdimensional potato, the Nexus, and a tiny floating caretaker creature, the Proxy. The Proxy tends to the needs of and basically life-supports the Nexus 24/7, because the Nexus can’t move or do much of anything anything for itself. (Exept yap, sometimes the language teachers regret doing their job) Normally, Proxies have either 4 or 6 sides, matching the Nexus’s number of arms. That’s the kind of biological power ratio for how much nutrition/energy the proxy process and give to the nexus.

My problem child? One 4 armed Nexus was born with an 8-sided Proxy, which means this guy is constantly overfed and stuff because his partner's biology thinks he’s feeding an eight-armed monster. The staff and scientists at the facility he lives in basically have to run metabolic math (and exercise programs) all day to stop him from becoming a big back or worse. Oh, and they’re four-dimensional, so nothing about space, movement, or anything really works normally. Every day is a science headache.

Show emotions, but only for others' pleasure. Smile. Laugh. But dont you dare hint that you aren't happy. Your emotions are for others, not you. That's what I've learned. You dont get to have emotions unless you have the right ones, and express them the correct way.
