Sometimes You Just Have To Let Yourself Be A Bit Neurodivergent.

sometimes you just have to let yourself be a bit neurodivergent.

i hate going out, it gives me a lot of anxiety and sensory input that i dont like, and i am often forced to talk to people.

so i do this thing on more difficult days, or sometimes just for fun, where i "bring a fictional character with me". i walk and imagine Fictional Character walking next to me. they talk to me, reassure me, hype me up, whatever i need them to do.

today dean winchester came christmas shopping with me. he went over the list with me of stuff i needed to get, told me i was doing a good job every time i finished in a certain shop, reminded me to take a deep breath when i got a little overwhelmed.

and yea. its kinda silly. and i know its just me talking to myself in a different voice, but it Works! especially since all of my special interests/hyperfixations tend to be tv/movie related.

so do what you gotta do to Get Shit Done. stop holding yourself to neurotypical standards. if you need Fictional Character to tell you you're doing a good job, do it! if you need Favourite Singer to walk you to school, do it! yea it might feel silly but you're literally fighting against your own brain to get stuff done every single day. you can have a little self indulgent daydream, as a treat.

Looks like Zhao's getting hungry back there...

Selfshippers what do you call your f/o(s). Like a pet name. What do they call you? Is it a general common pet name or something more specific?

Dream journal entry from September 5th, 2023: After Zhao and a couple of other characters chase after a money-stealing thief, Zhao then snatches the stolen money from the thief. The thief protests, then Zhao gives him... a certain gesture that gets blocked out by a drone robot, who is shocked that Zhao even used that gesture to begin with.

Some extra info about this drawing upon clicking the "Keep reading" button":

This scene was inspired by the Silly Mod for Yakuza Kiwami 2, where Kiryu does the same thing (minus the robot) to Ryuji and a couple of other bosses towards the end of their fights. Zhao's outfit in the picture is based off of a fan's alternate design for him, shown in this video by FlowTactics (minus the jacket):
