Greetings y’all, did anyone really think you could talk about one of my special interests without me enthusiastically interrupting?
Soo… Cathy, you’re ADHD, I’m Autistic, and Calidris is both. We’ve…[Read more]

Yeah! I was pretty young at the time – I actually can’t remember why my parents got me tested but it’s probably because I was having trouble concentrating at school.
Hans Asperger was an Austrian scientist who collaborated with the Nazis and sent a lot of disabled/autistic children to their deaths (the Nazis were…[Read more]

I have a few thoughts!
Umm…so HUGE ramble incoming XD
So, I’m actually in a (kind of?) similar boat here – A few months ago, I realized that the love interest of my story, Kit, is bisexual – AND TO BE CLEAR I’m also trying to pursue this carefully, and from a Biblical perspective (that homosexuality is a sin.) Like you, I’ve prayed…[Read more]

@this-is-not-an-alien Hi! Thanks so much for the response and I am sorry it has taken me this long to respond myself. I appreciate your perspective and ability to explore trauma. My goal is to have a similarity in weight to one of my favorite book series Chronicles of the Kings by Lynn Austin (highly recommend if you haven’t read it). One of the…[Read more]

“Yes.” Sir Scary answered tensely. Alessio bit his lower lip. Don’t say it don’t say it don’t say it Nithel would not want you to say it…
“Were you the…last person on the face of the earth when you proposed to her?” He asked…coughed, rubbed his jaw and instantly tried to “cover up” for saying that by blurting out questions to Arsene.

“If your burning vengeance is so great, then come and defeat me.”
So. That sounded ominous.
And sure enough, a verrry ominous crack sounded overhead.
“Before we begin coming up with a plan, might I propose running very fast?” Nathair said calmly. Until – that is – a slab of stone crashed from the ceiling. “Right now!”
He shoved the first per…[Read more]

The thundering in the sky told Hades he needed to hurry.
“YOU’RE MARRIED!” Alessio blurted out.
In a tensed voice, Hades answered. “Yes.”
This sounded familiar.
“She must have very low standards.”
Oh, <b>this d*mn brat was annoying.</b>
“Why aren’t these handcuffs off now?” Alessio said in a strained voice. “Anyway, what’s your actual name…[Read more]

WAIT YOU GOT AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS!?!?!?!?!?!!?!??!
I’m too broke for that. 😂
I actually don’t know the origins of the name but I do know I haven’t pursued getting a diagnosis because of ablism – among other reasons – and malpractice. Worst fear being put on drugs to “cure” me just for science-experiment for them and then getting drug…[Read more]

YES BECAUSE I HAVE IT TOO (actually I was diagnosed with ADD and Asperger’s back when ADD and Asperger’s were actual diagnoses, but now they’re not so I just have plain old ADHD and autism, which I’m fine with because the origins of the name are very creepy and kinda related to eugenics and the Nazi regime. Kinda interesting story behind it…[Read more]

So.
There is another person here. Some punk in armor that clinks stupid-loudly.
I wriggle my foot and listen.
“Ah, we were just making an alliance to kill whatever monstrosity transported us here,” what’s-his-name says in an easy tone. The same kind that Grimme uses when she’s about to kick butt. “Would you be willing to join?”

“He doesn’t need help, Alessio.”
Alessio was about to pop off with something “clever” but then he realized with panic…
“What Alessio? My name’s Margret.” He said hastily as if to cover up before Arsene notic –
“Alessio’s a nice name you know!” Arsene called out triumphantly. Devils! For an instant he felt completely cornered, even though i…[Read more]

New characters just never stop coming…

“Oh Lucy,” Arsene exclaimed in high falsetto “I didn’t know you identified as a woman.”
“Did you just assume my gender, Maria?” Alessio said without missing a beat.
And. This continued. For a while because each of them had an ever more sassy response and refused to be outplayed.

“Okay, Sarah.”
What the heck?
“Oh Lucy,” Arsene said in the fakest voice Hades had ever heard. “I didn’t know you identified as a woman.”
Oh no, this was going to go back and forth, wasn’t it? Okay, he could tolerate it. He had disciplined himself years so that he couldn’t be angered immediately (Key word). However, there was…[Read more]

“So…What’s your name?”
Alessio didn’t answer right away. For a second he almost considered telling him. Maybe not yet…? Too many people listening and Sir Scary was right above him and he wasn’t sure –
“I’ll call you by a girl’s name if you don’t tell me your actual name.” Arsene smirked. And now it was a dare. Alessio stared at him flatly.
