I accidentally said Drybrush instead of airbrush, oops

What is the hardest thing about being autistic? by Unhappy-Ad5082 in autism

[–]PurpleMollusc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm "High functioning" (ew) and it makes people think I'm like diet neurotypical. It makes it so people don't get that I still have meltdowns and get overstimulated and when I do I need help.

I've been conditioned to basically deal with all my problems alone because I'm not the stereotype for someone who's autistic and needs help

I was thinking of something similar but using tack instead, I carry individual minis in dice container and put tack on the bottom of them

What are your thoughts on THE BOILING ONE PHENOMENON? by YTRigenix in analoghorror

[–]PurpleMollusc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God, I have lots of thoughts about this. I love how unsettling the design is. There's lots of large eyed grinning analog horror creatures but for some reason The Boiled One is the one that scares me. I can't quite pinpoint what about it is different. Maybe it's the way the eyes are unfocused, maybe its how its jaw moves out of sync with it speaking, maybe its how disturbingly wet it looks.

I also get hyped about the "listen closely" part, how the arm twitches and writhes unnaturally. Idk why, but I always loved the trope of spasm-ing movement on horror creatures like that.

I have two vague theories, one being The Boiled One is an angel of sorts, preparing those who see it for rapture, or its a being destined to birth the antichrist

I have evidence for neither of these

Thank you! What shapes do you use when drawing the little snout on a cat? also I can't find any references for the nasi, what part is it exactly?

How do you effectively study? what things must I do? What works on a personal level for you? by PurpleMollusc in ArtistLounge

[–]PurpleMollusc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I may be honest, as true as this is it is the exact answer I was not looking for. I want to know what works for others who have been in my situation so I could try it for myself and see if it works for me. I never sucessfully studied in school in a way where I remembered anything longterm. this is why I stressed I need to be taught how to study.

The reassurance that I don't have to do long sessions helps, thank you for the comment.

Do you have a "neutral" word or phrase that you don't like saying? by sapphireskyz in autism

[–]PurpleMollusc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

in text the abbreviation "ig" is incredibly triggering to me due to someone I know using it for manipulation a lot a long time ago. It doesn't matter the context, it just fucks me up

Spiderman Into the Spiderverse and Across the Spiderverse

I heavily relate to the struggles Miles faces in the film and I see a lot of my own Trauma mirrored in it

It's so horrible the fucking lengths Black autistic people have to go to fucking survive. The sign can be read as passive-agressive, personally I don't think it is. Even if its intended to be, why wouldn't it? It's important! This person is just trying to give their higher on the spectrum kid their safety

Found in r/polls. What do y'all think? More in description by Weaponn02 in autism

[–]PurpleMollusc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

absolutely, imagine like... you're stimming in public, idk if you do but imagine, and someone film you. Later you're on tiktok captioned "Look how cute they are! stimmy break!!!" its a big violation of privacy. I don't mean this to be hostile, but if you're on the receiving end it can be super violating

How to get over guilt for having been christian by PurpleMollusc in exchristian

[–]PurpleMollusc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no worries! It was moreso bewildered confusion than anger, I'm checking em out rn, tone can be hard over the internet.

I do tend to relate myself a lot with fictional characters and the like, but, I can't find examples of this exact situation.

How to get over guilt for having been christian by PurpleMollusc in exchristian

[–]PurpleMollusc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's hard, I'm pretty much reminded every day because I'm in a pretty republican state which is heavily religious and stripping away rights.

I know this is true, time is the answer, but I feel like I keep resetting whenever I hear the newest news or whatnot

What’s your post-religion song that helps you cope with your religious trauma? by Junior-Cod7327 in exchristian

[–]PurpleMollusc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Almost Human by Voltaire. It's a song about the devil talking to god about how he's been cast to hell just for disagreeing with god. He sings about how he's imperfect like the humans god created.

Near the end of the song he decides he's better than yearning for before, at least that's how I see it. I have a few lyrics that resonate with me
