They/Them. Natalie. 28.
I'm not about to waste my precious, divine energy trying to explain and be ashamed of the things you think are wrong with me.
“Crawford is the second high-profile Ferguson protestors to be found dead of gunshot wounds in recent months. Darren Seals, a well-known activist in the community, was found shot dead in a burning car on September 2016. His case remains unsolved. Maria Chappelle-Nadal, a member of the Missouri Senate, tweeted her belief that Ferguson protestors are being hunted.”
“Crawford’s father Edward Sr. told the Post-Dispatch that he died of a gunshot wound, which police are treating as self-inflicted. Crawford Sr. told the newspaper that his son had been in “good spirits,” recently, and was in the midst of training for a new job and moving in to a new apartment.”
i am pro-copyright infringement. anybody who does fanfiction or fanart or anything should be pro-copyright infringement and obviously we are on the Fanart Website. why this is not a more popular stance among people who spend all their time doing transformative works is beyond me

Respect to Gus Walz, but if I was labelled as a freak by MAGAs for failing to adhere to ultra-conservative gender norms, and everyone else rallied around me by saying “How dare you—she can’t help acting like a freak, she’s neurodivergent!” I would become a fucking supervillain.
There is the context of him being mostly non-verbal and the fact he was so moved and emotional he was able to circumvent it for that moment, but yeah people not knowing how to word and contextualize that situation, or just being positively-ableist, fucking sucks.
It’s an understandable mistake, but he actually isn’t non-verbal.
Non-verbal Learning Disorder (which is poorly named on multiple fronts, as it’s also not its own disorder, but rather a proposed categorisation for what is effectively a specific symptom cluster) is a term applied to people whose core deficits impact their non-verbal skills. In fact, many people with NVLD have advanced verbal intelligence/skills, which results in some of their other deficits being dismissed or overlooked.
I haven’t personally had this term applied to me, but given that I have ADHD, autism, dyscalculia, and dyspraxia, which are all overlapping disorders that are affiliated with NVLD (which, again, isn’t officially a distinct thing; it’s not in the DSM-5), I wouldn’t be surprised if I qualify, as I’m highly verbal but have deficits with spatial awareness, fine motor coordination, processing numerical information, etc.
So anyway, yeah, there’s really no reason to bring his ND into this, because a teenage boy crying because he’s welling with pride and love doesn’t need to be explained away!
a fun thing to do when you come across an image of Mr. Beast is to zoom in so you cut off the lower part of his stupid grinning face and just look at his eyes. they’re never the eyes of a happy man
if Beetlejuice and Bloody Mary said each other’s names three times they would instantaneously swap places. with thorough planning this effect could be used as a faster-than-light communications link across arbitrary distances
