his tits look bigger in the paper drawing lol
hhnnnnnngghhhh…. men..
big, chubby, hairy men…
Did a background. Doesn’t look the greatest, but I also just never draw backgrounds (lol). I want to at least get better at doing basic backgrounds for pictures like this though so my art looks better to the eye.
This isn’t really anyone’s business, but I’m gonna vent a little here anyways since no one’s going to see this. If you are seeing this, the tags have content warnings.
I hate wintertime. I hate the snow. I hate Christmas and everything associated with it. I’ve been like this for years now, and it’s just been getting worse each year it seems.
Everyone shoves the holidays down people’s throats, spewing things about how it’s “the happiest time of the year”. It makes me feel left out, and I just really wish that I knew someone in my life who felt the same way at this time of the year so I wouldn’t feel so alone.
I try to shelter myself away from all of that as much as possible. I want to make this time of the year as tolerable as possible until I can heal from whatever makes this season so painful for me. I’m in therapy now, so hopefully that helps.
About Twi !!
Figured that since all I ever post about is my OCs, I’d might as well make a post explaining who tf at least my persona is.
Twi (pronounced “tw-ee”) is a male identifying gay fuckwad who uses he/him pronouns. He’s homosexual and aegosexual, meaning he experiences sexual attraction to other men but doesn’t feel the need to go through any sexual acts. He has ADHD and autism.
I mostly ever draw him as a seventeen year old, but that’s mostly just because I have no idea what he’d look like as an adult. Thinking of giving him a little bit of a gut and more body hair though.
Feel free to ask me anything! Nothing is out of bounds!
Headcanons are welcomed! Same with shipping, if interested.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately, wondering about who I am and all that. I think I might be cupioromantic.
Even though I’ve had boyfriends in the past and all that, I’ve never actually had romantic feelings for really any of them. They would ask me out, and I was pretty much like, “alright, bet,” and I think that might’ve just been because I really, really wanted to be with someone. I love the idea of dating someone and having someone hold me and all that mushy romantic stuff, but I’ve never really had a crush on anyone for as long as I can remember. When I was in elementary school, specifically from second to fourth grade, I even used to pretend to have a crush on these guys at my school. Like, pretend in the most obnoxious ways possible because I thought that was normal (haha, autism).
Now that I have this in mind, I feel this sense of clarity mixed in with despair since what this tells me is that I’m never going to experience romantic love. I know I’m not alone in this though, since there’s a bunch of people all over the world like this or experiencing something similar, but it doesn’t make it hurt any less. I’ll work on accepting that as time goes on though. 👍
struggling to accept myself so I drew myself with the cupioromantic colours with aegosexual and gay pins (with lineart)
Been art blocked so I asked people on my Instagram to help me come up with things to draw. Here’s what some people came up with:
Pomni!
Request was to draw my favourite “One Piece” character. I have multiple favourites, so I drew Emporio Ivankov since he’s super underrated.
Bee!
Prompt was to make my OC dress as my favourite character or animal. I hyperfixate a lot and don’t have a set favourite, so I drew Twi wearing a cat onezie.
How did I do?
They would have been eighteen today.
Aider & two OCs I’ve been working on recently bc I felt like he needed some friends
could’ve done better lmao
couldn’t decide which I liked better so here’s both
hi i’m Toby. My pronouns are he/it and I draw lmao
Most of what I draw consists of my OCs but sometimes I’ll make fanart for some smaller fandoms like “Faith: The Unholy Trinity” and very rarely other things. I typically draw either traditionally or digitally, with my digital art very rarely being (albeit not that great) pixel art. I’m hoping to be able to start to get myself to animate soon, and possibly voice act eventually.
I’m learning German and Spanish, but my first language is English!
I’m Canadian with no plans to travel. I’m autistic and have ADHD, and I hyperfixate a lot (as you could tell from seeing my art). I’m also a Satanist and open to answering any questions. Also feel free to request art!
I usually post on Instagram (same url as Tumblr), but I’m trying to post more OC lore over here.
Have a lovely day!
Aider is autistic, and with that comes meltdowns and shut downs.
Ben, being his best friend, will sometimes sit down with him and make sure he’s okay. They don’t usually say anything to each other while they sit, not for a while at least until Aider’s calmed.
Autism
It's autism acceptance month and I'm autistic so I had make this
I have an autistic level one (low support needs) character that doesn’t speak, but physically can. Just finds it painful (emotionally? not physically) and hard. He was mute before I decided he was autistic, and I want to know if it can be the sole cause for it? I’ve seen a lot of contradicting opinions on what being nonverbal means. He used to speak bc he is physically capable but he got comfortable w himself and others and doesn’t do it anymore, or very rarely. Can this be solely autism-related? I feel like it is not selective mutism because not speaking is simply what they prefers, not something caused by any particular emotion or anxiety. I experience that sometimes and would like to know if it can ever be permanent/full-time and in that case if it can be considered being non-verbal.
Hi,
Autism is definitely a common reason for people to not speak, or to previously have been able to speak but no longer being able to do so, either at all or consistently.
Here's a blog post from Assistiveware, an AAC company, explaining intermittent, unreliable, insufficient, and expensive speech! It has its own resources. To me it seems like your character experiences intermittent or expensive speech — I hadn't heard of expensive speech before, but I knew of the other three — and is therefore semiverbal.
Nonverbal is more for people who don't speak (whether it's because they never do, or cannot), and people can become nonverbal without having been so their whole life. Sometimes it's extended to people who have maybe a couple words, like 1-5.
You could potentially describe your character as 'doesn't speak,' or 'rarely speaks,' and those are perfectly acceptable descriptions, too.
Hope this helps!
