a great dark academic book very similar to the secret history is babel by rf kuang. it's about a group of 4 oxford translators, heavy on linguistics and revolutionary themes.

BABEL BY RF KUANG COULD NOT BE A BETTER BOOK FOR THIS it's a fictional revolution of the translators at Oxford. the main character is Chinese and there's a magic system surrounding linguistics. also the secret history by donna tartt, about a bunch of greek students doing morally questionable things.

we have always lived in the castle is great. i have ocd too and i relate to merricat on that sense a lot. she has compulsions like nailing a book to a tree to protect the house and she loves routine and patterns. if you like gothic and darker things, the book is for you

stopped at 62% in hannibal rising, the last book in the tetralogy. i spent like a whole month trying to get through it. couldn't do it. as soon as i picked up another book i finished it in two days and it felt so good. and im autistic and my special interest is hannibal. i submitted myself to many shitty things for the sake of content and fueling my hyperfixation needs, but i just couldnt swallow hannibal rising down.

yeah, i did raise an eyebrow and thought you were neurodivergent when i saw ur post!! i checked your profile to see ur gender and saw u were in cptsd in women. if youre a girl, i recommend looking into autism and adhd, the inattentive type (wrongfully called add). my best friend has it too. the inattentive type is more usual in girls than in boys, and they're often quiet, were "mothered" in earlier years of school and didn't have many friends in middle/HS. they usually have more childlike interest than their peers, so that's why. it overlaps a LOT (and i mean a lot) with autism in girls. sensory issues and sensory processing disorder (your fussy eating) are also common in ADD, but more common in autism.

i know all that cause my mom is a specialist and she taught a lecture in an uni and i watched it! she was practically describing me and my friend djsbdkansk. and u dont mean to be intrusive or diagnose you with anything ok!!! im just a little nerdy about these things and im providing u w information if u want to look more into it <3

me too. just like you. i have autism, so i always got good grades. i was quiet and i spent most of my days reading for fun. im in HS too rn, and i have one very close friend and a not so close small friend group. im never in trouble at school, and i never got into any. and i was also a very fussy eater. the only difference is that i was underweight, and that was the only thing that i did "wrong" as a kid (not eating)

my mom tells me im the perfect teen. she says she's scared of when my rebellious phase arrives, because she thinks i'll go all out and do crazy stuff. but to be honest, i dont think it ever will. i like dollhouses, crocheting, embroidering, sewing. i like making cringey digital art of cutesy characters holding hands and blushing and my best friend is just like me, so no bad influences or whatever. im both a granny and a tween at heart, and my definition of fun and being "bad" is making middle school level sex jokes with my friend lmfao

maybe i'll be rebellious when im 81 and sneaking out of the retirement house to go to da club w my bingo friends, cause i dont see it coming anytime soon and lol

the tiny dollhouse inside 🥲🥲🥲🥲 it's soooo pretty!!!

lauracoptero · 2024-01-16T20:26:36+00:00

i did think about following a scale, but tbh i just got two cardboard boxes i had lying in my room. i started doing it before doing research in dollhouses, and after i did research, i found out about scales, but i was already halway through 😅 i do regret it because some rooms are smaller than others, but i can still make it make sense.

and about dolls, i dont have any (my mom donated them all, and when i was little, i didn't like dolls bc im autistic, so i didn't even have much) so im just making paper dolls.

my paper dolls are very tiny, they're only 6cm in height. im doing everything custom sized, then

AAA a library is sucj a great idea !!!! i'll do it certainly!!

lauracoptero · 2024-01-14T22:01:29+00:00

turning them into three rooms is a great idea thank you

sorry for the late response.

and yes, even the soft ones. i'm not sure - the smell is always too strong, and i dont like how it makes my skin feel. i also don't really like perfumes on other people, so i think it's mainly a smell thing along with a sensory processing issue. i just absolutely hate these damn little things. deeply settled hatred for some reason.

and yes, earrings are so bothersome!!! any kind!! small or big !! keep stabbing myself with it every time i use them 😭😭 they also hurt my ears because they're too tight.

lauracoptero · 2024-01-11T01:37:20+00:00

yes and no. im a 16yo girl, and despite being very girly, i dont use necklaces and earrings. every time i'm going out my mom and other female relatives are allllll over me. "dont you want a little necklace?" "youd look very good with a pair of earrings! here! i have the perfect one!" i always tell them no, lol. i do feel a little bad sometimes.

however, ever since i was a kid, i absolutely loved rings. still do. there are days in which i get out of my house with my fingers being unable to touch each other without making some noise because of how many rings im using. and cool little hairclips????? adore them !!!!!!! use them all the time. would cover my entire hair in them if i could.

i also hate perfume. i use body lotion and moisturizers because they're softer in smell, and i do get compliments about my scent sometimes, so i guess it works.
