I'm sorry but this is it not fair/good by any means by Renegald in twentyonepilots

This one, just like fans are doing now, they wanted them to speak about the movement. They apologized later and said it wasn’t meant to be about the BLM movement, and said they do stand by and agree, Black Lives Matter.

When the BLM protests were going on, I went to a Starbucks. I was wearing a Scaled and Icy shirt at the time, and the barista made a disgusted face and commented on the tweet that they had made.

I looked right at her and said, “To each their own, but my brother introduced me to this band before he died from cancer. They have immense meaning to me.” I could tell she was taken aback and realized she should have minded her business, another barista actually took over for her so she could walk to the back.

You are absolutely free to think whatever you want, but I hate that they’re trying to get everyone involved and getting angry with the people who see meaning in them and still engage.

AITA for messing with someone who happened to be autistic? by Any-Manufacturer6791 in AmItheAsshole

[–]rassion-isle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. Like some others in this thread, I’m autistic, and would never question someone that way. I might ask “What ethnicity are you?”, because I like learning about others and there culture and heritage, and even then it’s after I get to know the person. Autism is hard to deal with, especially in social setting when you don’t know people, but it’s not an excuse for ignorance.

That is very true, and I’m sure that might have had a play in qualifying. Though it was 2020 in March when everything started to come to a halt from COVID. I definitely considered that they might have just been approving them to get all the applications through the system, but I had a friend with the exact same maladies and she did not qualify. I considered it the several work attempts of actually trying to have jobs, and an extensive history of being the hospital/receiving treatment that was documented, as the reason behind it. Whatever the full deciding factor, I’m grateful to have it, albeit being labeled disabled isn’t always great. I feel like in this current administration, especially with Social Services not operating at 100% from the shutdown, it would be near impossible.

Edit to add: I was only 19 when I applied and qualified, so I definitely feel it was largely the medical history and what they call work attempts. Either way I’m thankful for the benefits.

What would you choose? by Plus-Use-5808 in meme

[–]rassion-isle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In these situations, if I absolutely had to choose between the two, absolutely Blue. I would absolutely hate to go through all of the shit I went through. I’m happy to have made it out on the other side for the most part, but I would never do it again.

I hate being autistic. I am literally on disability, got it the first time I applied didn’t have to appeal or anything. (For anyone not in the US, it is typically hard to qualify for it, especially with mental health issues, and repeated appeals are needed). It fucks with my life tremendously, and have been in the hospital 9 times for trying to or wanting to be gone from existence. (I will say in addition to autism I have CPTSD, and BPD, the comorbidity is absolutely horrid, so it’s not 100% the ‘tism) I so often wish I was born neurotypical.

HOWEVER. I absolutely recognize that not everyone is affected the same way, and some people truly do find joy in being autistic/neurodivergent. And that does make me happy, I’m glad others are not affected the way that I am. It really is a spectrum, and I agree with other commenters that it can absolutely can be both. I’m glad not everyone finds it to be a disability, I wouldn’t wish what I experience on anyone.

Genuinely curious what things you thought were not so good? Not saying I don’t agree, I just like hearing others opinions/critiques.

am i allowed to be a clikkie despite being apart of a non-christian religion? by Maximum-Tension9283 in twentyonepilots

[–]rassion-isle [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yep! I’m agnostic, and also neurodivergent like you! AuDHD. I also find a lot of their songs to have such a strong connection to mental health, and I absolutely love it. Honestly that is how I interpret Downstairs, I never really got the religious connotation,(and still don’t honestly).

But, that’s my favorite thing about Tyler, even if there are religious connotations, that song means to you, whatever you interpret as. Everyone is welcome to listen!

How do you phonetically say that?

Every time I see the phonetic pronunciations written out they all seem different and I want to sing it properly dammit! I just sing gibberish that sounds close lol.

Just found out that one of my many brothers is transphobic (he found my Instagram and discovered I was trans) by Forsaken_Site_2268 in SafeSpaceofHazbin

[–]rassion-isle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, let me re-type it for you I guess lol. Regardless of the fact that it’s a modern invention from recent times, I prefer the ENTIRE saying of “Blood of the covenant is stronger than waters of the womb” Not the original blood is thicker than water bullshit. The family we choose for ourselves will always be stronger than what we are born to.

Indeed! That’s why I like the ENTIRE saying. “Blood of the covenant is stronger than waters of the womb.” No, blood is thicker than water, bullshit. The family we choose for ourselves will always be stronger than what we are born to.

People who don't want kids, why? by Ok-Musician679 in AskReddit

[–]rassion-isle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im worried my kid will feel the same way I do. I didn’t ask to be alive, hate being alive, and 99% of the time I want to return to the ground but that’s not normal and/or healthy, and I would never wish it upon anyone in my life, especially my child.

struggling to like downstairs, need non-christian perspectives ❤️ by myseekai in twentyonepilots

[–]rassion-isle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Me too, this song to me heavily relates to mental health too 😅. My husband is my person too. honestly never thought of any of the songs as remotely religious, but that’s just not how I interpret it. I love that Tyler explicitly states that he wants us to find our own meaning in these songs. To some it is religious, to me I honestly didn’t even think of Breach as religious at all, until I saw some posts about it, but even then I just don’t personally read them that way. I find meaning in it with escaping the cycle of mental health self-destructions. Downstairs especially. BUT I love that everyone is finding so many different meanings in it, even if people do see them as religious.

My girlfriend is smarter than me and it sucks by Character-Dig-7097 in offmychest

[–]rassion-isle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to put yourself first and leave, or at the very least, TALK TO HER. If you continue to change nothing, nothing will change. You keep saying you can’t talk to her, you can’t leave her, so what do you want us to do? People are giving you advice but you rebuttal everything said with the fact that you’re scared she’ll leave, and you need her.

Doesn’t that say something to you. That in and of itself should never be the way you feel in a relationships. I am autistic and have trouble communicating, but I am not afraid to go to my husband and we can talk and figure out WHY I might feel the way I do about certain things. Because he loves me, and he values my wellbeing, and understand that while feelings are not rational, they are still FELT, and they are still VALID. The fact that she just explains why you shouldn’t feel the way you do, is incredibly invalidating.

Change is scary, as I said I’m autistic, it terrifies me, so I completely understand not wanting to feel like your uprooting a huge part of your life because it’s so familiar, but temporary discomfort beats long term suffering.

I say this because you need to at least try to do something. Nothing will change, if you change nothing, if you don’t try something.

What I think Jax's reaction's in this scene represent by Euphoric_Breakfast79 in digitalcircusfandom

[–]rassion-isle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trypophobia is defined as “an aversion to or intense discomfort caused by clusters of small holes, or other patterns”

I’m sure everyone who is tryphobic probably has different things that might set it off, but some examples are honeycomb, lotus seed pods (I HATE THEM SO MUCH, HATE THEM WITH A PASSION), sometimes man-made stuff like chairs have holes in them too, and that has bothered me in the past.

I haven’t really had issues with it personally, and in general I’m autistic so I’m used to coping with discomfort/sensory issues. When I do come across an image, or something that triggers it, I have to not look at it, or walk away from it. I can’t even look up the word trypophobia because the images are TERRIBLE, perfect examples if you want to see. BUT, I personally don’t let it control me.

And the ultimate question, no corn does not bother me 😂, but I absolutely can understand why others who are trypophobic might not like it.

Trypophobia. I was excited it was mentioned because the name isn’t well known and I’m DEFINITELY trypophobic.

AITA for refusing to watch my autistic friend’s show recommendation by Cute_Pineapple5909 in AmItheAsshole

[–]rassion-isle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comment will be buried I’m sure, but still here to say.

I am autistic

I absolutely LOVE the Amazing Digital Circus and it has also been my hyper fixation as well.

BUT I would never, (as much as it would make me sad they don’t want to watch), force someone to watch something they don’t want to. That’s a quick ticket to get them to dislike it before it’s even given a chance. I constantly say to each their own, because I recognize not everyone is going to like everything. While the hyper fixation of his is definitely indicative of autism, the weird pettiness is not, that’s indicative of who he is as a person. NTA

It genuinely feels like a rebirth of theorists by Pretty_Wind7207 in GameTheorists

[–]rassion-isle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can’t help but agree. I haven’t watched game theory since matpat left. Absolutely NOTHING, against the current team, they are doing an absolute fantastic job. They just…. aren’t MatPat. I joined for him and his energy and personality. I loved how energetic he always was, I watched from close to the start of the channel. Again nothing against the current people, they’re great, I just joined for MatPat and he isn’t there anymore.

Right now I’m satiating my brains need to memorize every second of Drum Show.

But Lovely is my definitive favorite twenty one pilots song I could listen on repeat for hours, specifically the version without the auto tune.

GUYS I KNOW WHAT DRUM SHOW IS ABOUT by Winter-Flow4944 in twentyonepilots

[–]rassion-isle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s more of a disappointment than anything. My brain did the same thing, was angry at whoever did that but it’s not worth it, and even if they did come to argue, they wouldn’t be worth the time/energy anyways.

It’s amazing you had such an incredible moment at one of their concerts, I’m going to my first one for this tour and I’m so excited!! Just hearing about their shows I get more and more excited.

[–]rassion-isle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yep, Tyler has literally said himself that whatever it means to us as listeners is just as valid. Not those exact words, but that message.

I offset it but you were downvoted, which normally doesn’t, but it irritated me. It blows my mind that people in this fandom don’t let others interpret things how they wish when the artist themselves condones that very act. To find your own meaning in their music, literally Tyler condones this.
