My name’s Mercury. They/Them pronouns. White, neurodivergent, and queer. Minor. Gushing about books + other nerd things. I might post some writing or art stuff eventually and I have several long term projects planned, but due to school a lot of that has taken a back seat. Black lives matter, love wins, neurodiverse people deserve accommodations.

Oh My God What- This Explains So Much- Why Has No One Told Me This Before- I Need To Take Notes
oh my god what- this explains so much- why has no one told me this before- i need to take notes
To my friends on the spectrum, let me explain to you an unspoken social rule that possibly nobody has ever explained to you before
If a neurotypical asks you, “What game are you playing?” they’re not asking you to describe the game.
They’re asking you if they can play too.
If a neurotypical asks you, “What are you watching?” they’re not asking you to explain the plot of the movie/tv show to them.
They’re asking if they can watch it with you.
.
When neurotypicals ask you “What are you doing?”
What you think they’re asking: “Please explain to me what you are doing.”
What they’re actually asking: “Can I join you?”
Now here’s the really fucked up part. If you start explaining to them what you’re doing? They will interpret that as a rejection.
What you think you’re saying: [the answer to their question]
What they think you’re saying: This is an elite and exclusive activity for a level 5 friend and you are a level 1 acquaintance. You are not qualified to join me because you don’t know all this stuff. Go away.
.
This is why neurotypicals think you’re being cold and antisocial.
IT’S ALL A HORRIBLE MISCOMMUNICATION.

Changing your username because you were totally going to do kotlc only but you’re way too easily distracted and you read too many books to stick to one thing.
hey reblog this if you think mocking someone for their lisp/stutter/speech impediment/etc is fucked up
I just started watching the owl house and oh my god Lumity. They’ve only interacted thrice and I’m already addicted.
Yo ✌🏻
Reblog if you’d be okay if your friend came out as transgender
