(got Diagnosed W Autism Yesterday Who Cheered) I Think Surrounding Myself With Exclusively Autistic And

(got diagnosed w autism yesterday who cheered) I think surrounding myself with exclusively autistic and trans people as an autistic trans person has made my life exponentially easier and I am ACUTELY glaringly aware of quite how socially inept, horrible at making friends and bad at functioning I am whenever I am around neurotypical cis people but I forget a lot of the time bcs I spend most of my time alone and occasionally see my autistic trans friends ... (however I feel very effected by my adhd all the time especially when I am alone like my adhd effects me whenever I want to do anything ever who booed)

Most solid take I've heard on the subject.

5 ways to do a Minecraft Movie that doesn’t suck:

1. Do an adaptation of Max Brooks: The Island. This is already a fascinating retelling of what waking up in Minecraft would be like and it was written by the guy who wrote World War Z! I genuinely don’t know why they didn’t do this in the first place because Jack Black is the guy who read the audiobook! It’s so obvious it’s painful!

2. If you must have “real people in Minecraft” then have them wake up there without knowing how they got there. Steve tells them if they defeat the Ender Dragon the portal that opens after will take them home. Boom. Now your entire plot is your characters working towards defeating the dragon and going home. You still get the nether and piglins. You still get creepers and villages and maybe even raids. You get the whole gauntlet of what Minecraft offers.

3. Do it Wall-E and Cast Away style. Guy wakes up in Minecraft, does not know how or why he’s there. Most of the action is conveyed entirely through pantomime, with one guy. He’s alone in Minecraft and he needs to survive. The film is him struggling as he comes to grips with the weird mechanics of the world such as floating trees and creepers.

4. Do it as a semi-horror movie. Have the majority of the day segments be about a guy trying to prepare, have the nights be horror filled encounters where each day there’s a new terror he’s not familiar with. Culminate with him slowly getting worse and worse off until he finds a village. Have him get taken in and brought back to health. He decides to defend the village, and the final battle is him putting his survival skills and knowledge to the test against a very aggressive raid.

5. Literally just animate Minecraft Story Mode. Keep it animated all the way through. It’s just Story Mode but with better graphics and more concise editing. Oh wait! That’s already being done now! It’s called “Block by Block: The Amulet” and it’s going to be premiering on YouTube in 2025 and it’s being made by fans of the game!

…

And those are just the first 5 I literally thought up while in my car waiting to pick up food. This is not a hard concept. Like Minecraft offers up SO MANY potential ideas for stories. Why did they pick the worst way to do this?

Spitting daggers, goodness

Forgive yourself for trusting the wrong people. You're not foolish, you're a kind human searching for connection. Embrace the lessons, but don’t let them harden your heart. Continue to trust, but with the wisdom and strength you’ve gained.

Most of the Cody's I knew ended up in bad places so uh...

Here's hoping all the Cody's out there are doing okay <3

Something I've started doing, is curating my feeds online. There are a LOT of people who just want to spread hate and discontent, but honestly... I don't really care.

There's civil rights, and then there's just hate speech from another perspective. So I go out of my way to block these accounts from my feed.

Want nothing to do with it, and I suggest you do the same for your own mental health.

Much love, and peace to you all's. Avoid the toxic drama whenever you can ❤️
