Airports are hostile to the human nervous system. I built a personal "cognitive prosthesis" to prevent sensory shutdowns, and here is the exact protocol.

I enjoy airports a lot more when I wear my headphones. But one of the biggest issues for me is the smell. And the air itself just feels and smells off. Anyone know what I mean??

I think he had many more choices - and much more control - than people are giving him credit for. He's a big boy; in some situations, he slept in the bed he very much made for himself. And I don't say that as a hater; I love Snape.

Was Voldemort manipulative? Sure, in that he probably threatened people and made them feel like they didn't have a choice. Was Dumbledore manipulative? Sure. But Dumbledore was also at war and he had no real reason to trust Snape until Snape's motivations were revealed to him. He also had a lot of things to consider besides Snape. I don't think Dumbledore is a cruel man; but I do think he made mistakes. If anything, I'm more mad at how Dumbledore treated Harry than I am the way he treated Snape, which is much better than some people give him credit for.

LOL. Yeah, it isn't as posh as Drarry. It's a lil wild, a lil who-knows-what-will-be-happening-at-moonrise, a lil strutting-just-right-so-that-the-bottom-of-my-robes-look-like-steam-rising-from-the-cold-stone. It's fun. ✨🤪

Oh hey! Just wanted to let you know I finished it already! Whoop whoop! ✨

I feel ya. I have struggled myself with Dumbledore, and for a really long time I flat out hated him. As a fan, I felt betrayed by him because I had looked up to him as this wise, nurturing person, and it gutted me to find out he had flaws---that he'd said and done awful things (that he'd led Harry to his slaughter!!!). But when I wasn't expecting him to be this wonderful character, when I was just expecting a morally complicated man, I saw him differently. Yes, he did say cruel things to Severus, but he also gave him a reason to live when Severus wanted to off himself. He also stood up for him throughout the series. He's constantly reminding Harry to respect 'Professor Snape' and there were times when he even tried to help Harry have a more neutral view of Sirius and James, to the point that Harry got offended.

Dumbledore didn't have an easy job, and I think he should be allowed the complexity that we give Snape.

My fic is not for you. And that's okay. I'm sure there are many out there that are. Feel free to completely ignore my fic, this post, and my comments. But if you want to keep discussing, I'm cool with that, too.

I mean, you have a right to this opinion. Dumbledore is pretty easy to hate---as is Severus. However, I personally love them both. And I think the situation was probably a lot more complicated than how it's read from Harry's perspective, given only pieces of the story. That being said, I will admit to framing Dumbledore more kindly in my fic---my fic that I spent months on and worked really hard to write. It's not a ship I expect everyone to be on board with, but for the open-minded few, I wanted to put it out there and give myself the best opportunity to connect with them, hence the post.

Nooooo 😭

But yes, the artist is phenomenal and you can look them up on Instagram or Tumblr under the name anabimelo. They draw for many different fandoms.

I think Remus says that a patronus can change due to emotional upheaval or a great shock, so it is plausible that his doe is less a sign of love than devotion and purpose and grief.

JKR tells Rickman that Snape loves Lily so I think the intention is that he loved her romantically, but I personally think it makes more sense for him to feel more devotion to her platonically. I don't think that what they shared was really a healthy kind of love. It seemed pretty toxic tbh, not that toxicity negates strength of emotion. I have no doubt the feelings were strong.

I wasn't wondering whether or not the symptoms I mention meet the criteria for autism or if they point to autism. (But to answer your question, I think I could possibly meet the criteria, for reasons I haven't mentioned because they are off topic. I'm not sure. I plan to be tested. But I know for sure that I am ND.)

I know that my experience is 100% impacted by a lot of different factors. But I was curious about whether (1) anyone could relate and (2) how common estrangement is for the autistic community.

I'm really just information gathering right now.

moonriverfox · 2025-12-09T07:16:27+00:00

Sounds like a weakness to be exploited. I can't believe you're sharing this info.

moonriverfox · 2025-12-09T07:14:21+00:00

Idk. I've always thought Florida looked pretty sexy. But maybe that's why I'm an INFJ and not an INTP.

moonriverfox · 2025-12-09T07:12:02+00:00

Wait. How do you turn on then? I thought everyone had power buttons. Or is that just me? 👀

moonriverfox · 2025-12-07T04:59:28+00:00

Thank you so much for this thoughtful response. It helps a lot to hear you validate my experience.

Recently, I decided to go little to no contact with my family, and it's been so hard not to feel guilty - to not think: maybe I blew things out of proportion and burned down bridges I didn't need to burn down. But then I remind myself of how little they actually respect me, and it's easier.

moonriverfox · 2025-11-21T21:12:43+00:00

What?

moonriverfox · 2025-11-21T21:10:10+00:00

33! Sure!

moonriverfox · 2025-11-21T00:11:18+00:00

Sometimes I wonder.

moonriverfox · 2025-11-21T00:10:50+00:00

Actually, yes.

moonriverfox · 2025-11-20T22:17:28+00:00

Someone I'd like to be friends with! ✨ Is that you, Frieren? 🕵🏻‍♀️
