The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.
In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.
But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.
"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?
"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.
Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?
It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.
This scene lives rent free in my brain
This is how you match each other's freak
Yes Supernatural is 15 seasons long but it’s really simple. every season something happens and the world is about to end and one of the main characters goes I have an idea I’M GONNA KILL MYSLEF and that’s it. for 15 seasons. and the gay yearning of course
sooo I figured it out yay! they're supposed to be ITE-artworks.
here's the finished product :)
it's named 'taivas ja luomakunta' or 'heaven and creation/cosmos' I think in English. but the translation doesn't have the same feel as the og to me
close-ups bc I'm kinda proud abt how they turned out:
ofc I had to make one of them an angel (I was watching spn while crafting these so). the wings were so much work and frustrating bc they're not the same shape and turned out different than I hoped but they're fine ig. plus the wire coloured my fingers grey so that was fun :D
and the reference painting for anyone interested. Taistelevat metsot (the Fighting capercaillies, 1886) by Ferdinand von Wright
what on earth am I doing with these? they've got to be done by thursday bc it's the last class of the course and I've literally got no clue or plan on what they're gonna be. gotta love art classes :D
(ignore my messy table lol)
speaking of, I just remembered I have an art acc too lol (but I'll be posting my art on here too whenever I actually finish something):

every episode I rewatch, I don't remember what happens based on the name, but in the first five minutes of the ep something makes me go "ohhh, this one. I remember this." e.g. I just started 01x11 'scarecrow' and immediately when I saw the forest I remembered what happens, like the ep flashed through in my mind.
scrolling through the spn tag on ao3 is tormenting bc literally everything is something weird, like 1 in 10 is something that I'd be willing to read, even if I have filtered out stuff I don't like/wanna read about :D what tf is this fandom on?
Rosekiller are so obsessed with each other.
I’m talking matching tattoos. Clothing with each others faces on them. Celebrating every anniversary (first kiss, first meeting, first date, etc.) Never going anywhere without the other. Outfits that compliment each other. Etc. Etc.
Everyone is sick of them but they’re too busy trying to crawl into each other’s skin to notice
so I finished watching supernatural a few days ago and now I understand why people said "f the finale" bc what was that?? why? why did they do that??
on another note I started watching the show again bc ofc and it feels so nostalgic, I can also notice how much more like grandiose (idk if that's the right word, dunno how to explain it either) the show got by s15, the cases are so simple and they're so young in s1
The three-ring binder is the apex of book technology, by the way. All the advantages of a codex, plus you can add, remove, and reorder pages at will - pages which you can furthermore protect from damage in transparent sleeves, and store commentaries, notes, and other paratextual addenda behind them without obscuring the primary content. Truly the queen of codices. Reblog if you love the three-ring binder.
so happy to see the babies on the tl agian 🥹🥹#
How have I been on tumblr for 3 years and 8 months but I haven't even posted anything yet?? I've decided to change that rn for no apparent reason other than It's late and I'm bored and don't wanna go to sleep lol
A little intro abt me:
I'm queer and use they/them pronouns. I write on ao3 sometimes, acc: yooniedae (link at the bottom). My native language isn't English but I'll try my best to not make too many mistakes.
Most of the time, however, I just obsess over my special interests, and that's mostly what I wanna do on here as well as basic rants and spamming whenever I feel like it.
As my username suggests I'm a supernatural fan and autistic (and hc Cas as autistic bc c'mon, hence the username). In addition, I also love bts, art, psychology, mdzs, the marauders era, criminal minds and shoot from the hip (a new special interest I've found and I love them sm). I'm also an avid shipper at heart (e.g., taekook, yoonmin, destiel, wolfstar, wangxian, etc.). Basically just anything queer and/or psychological ig lol
I plan on also sharing links to my fics on here (whenever I post them lol, it's more of a hobby so they'll be very sparse). You don't need to read them, I just like to share them bc usually I like them at least a little bit.
But yeah, that's about all I can think of rn, I'm gonna go back to finishing spn s15 bc no I have not finished it yet smh (but I have gotten spoiled so I know what happens).
Here's my ao3 account for anyone interested:
queer • all pronouns • audhd • I discover a new/old special interest like once a month • yooniedae on ao3, tt & insta
