Those were terrible reasons to not teach. “Why does she work here if she won’t teach us anything?”

@whalekeeper

So you aren’t ugly. You just don’t care for my questions. *raises eyebrow* I shall have to guess. Scared of COVID? Hiding from the police? Part of a circus?

Did you agree to go out with any of these random strangers? Are you married? If you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be and why?

I have a drawing of young Barnes and I might post it tomorrow or something.

@rae

Well, good luck!! And if it turns out badly, that doesn’t mean you’re a bad artist. <3

My mum says they’ll probably numb me, but that isn’t the same as anesthesia. I guess we’ll see. 😅

Why does it look like my post didn’t come through?

@mineralizedwritings Oh gross I didn’t know they could be that bad. I used to pick up slugs all the time as a kid to take them out of the garden. (I washed my hands afterwards of course.)

@rae

Yes, he’s flying around in the sky over the same yard Chase and Fel are approaching.

I love how Barnes avoids the question, and then both Cassius and Gabriel give full paragraphs about why they wear their masks. It cracks me up so much. 🤣

@rae

WOW!!!!!! So good! The expression!!!!!! That is SO Baron!! Yes, this is perfect!

Where were we… oh okay, I missed the last thing

To be clear, they are not much like me in any other way, and vice versa. Which I am very glad for. I try not to overidentify.

@loopylin

I’d say identifying with my characters happens with me as well, but lots of the time the traits are negative thought patterns I need to grow out of. The only cases where I can identify with actual mental conditions the characters have are Marcel, Lucille, and S…[Read more]

@theducktator

*stares back* So you’re ugly then.

[Barnes laughs]

*peers back at meme topic* Have you ever had a stranger ask you on a date?

“Yes. Multiple times. Maybe that counts as a response to your previous point.”

@whalekeeper

Real.
Ok but actually that’s part of how I got diagnosed with autism. I was writing Ellie so much and realizing how much I related to her, and at the same time noticing how many autistic traits she had. So I started getting suspicious and researching it and then I finally asked my doctor and now here I am.

@rae

Looks good! I say go for it if you’re deciding on a pose for coloring or something.

@loopylin

I’m now realizing I can’t think of any of my characters who don’t have any mental thingys, lol. Lois and Liko are probably normal? Idk

For real. A lot of the time I don’t realize a character has something until I’ve used them for a year or whatever. Then there’s a period where you question whether or not you have the thing because you…[Read more]

@rae that’s cool! That’s an impressive side profile. I’ve been struggling with those lately. I like the wind going through his hair.

@the_lost-journal

Cool. I should research bpd and ptsd sometime. I don’t know much about them.
