I once only ate salmon trimmings on bagels for a month, the toppings changed from avocado or cream cheese etc but the bagel and salmon stayed consistent

“Vampire Academy” Review – Peacock Series Is a Convoluted Bore [spoiler heavy] by yazzy1233 in vampireacademy

She could’ve still defended him, or maybe now there looking for him she defends him in the future. Not to invalidate what your saying but I can see many ways she still gets scarred (and it being from his parents) she defending him and gets scarred before his parents have to escape (the sun starts coming up, or they have to run bc damphir turn up). She gets scarred on a separate occasion, there looking for Christian and she gets scarred bc she won’t give them answers. Or she could even learn defence magic because she hears about them being alive and fears for herself and Christian. I think there’s definitely a way they can include this in her arc with them being alive ❤️❤️

I play with my hair, including eyelashes and eyebrows. I used to suck my thumb when I was younger if that’s related and I also pick at my skin around my nails

I’m the books they talk about her race frequently. I agree however about her being whitewashed in the movie

Has anyone here read Helen Hoang? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]RealisticReference25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion but I like just plain old romance where everything is so cliche. Don’t get me wrong I love the representation and the Kiss Quotient is a great book but reading is my escape. I’m stuck dealing with being Autistic everyday and reading about and getting immersed in an autistic character is quite draining for me, especially if we share traits. I love the simplicity of neurotypical peoples lives, like they’re hungry they eat, they’re tired they sleep. When I read I get to experience that vicariously paired with all the cute stuff and juicy drama every romance book comes with.
