some pokemon drawings I made recently
Been thinking about @humanityinahandbag Post about knuckles showing affection violently for a while now
Knuckles and Affection
I've made an executive decision that Knuckles is a child who needs to be taught how to show affection. Because he was raised as a warrior, and his love language (throw back to @smallpwbbles' post) is often times defending those he considers family.
He'd do anything for them. Take a bullet for them. Stand between them and danger.
His love language, his way of showing that they are absolutely adored, is by proving that he will go above and beyond to keep them safe.
And that is absolutely the softest, sweetest idea
UN-FUCKING-TIL
he ends up breaking every single appliance in the house because he can't tell the difference between a technical glitch and a personal attack.
Which means that it is entirely plausible that Tom could come down the stairs to find Knuckles mid-breakdown while he goes absolutely ham on some random kitchen appliance.
Maddie: "The coffee maker burned my hand..."
Tom: 😑
Knuckles, still pinning the Keurig to the floor, absolutely sobbing: "DISHONORABLE. TRAITOROUS. APOLOGIZE TO MOTHER, NOW. APOLOGIZE!"
Self Diagnosis
So apparently it’s time for another self dx info post because people are gross
INFO:
basics
- self diagnosis isn’t looking at one post and going “hey thats me, im autistic”
- self diagnosis includes research and introspection
- self diagnosis of multiple disorders is reasonable - comorbidity is common (see: autism and ADHD, ADHD and SPD, many personality disorders with each other, though more than one is rarely diagnosed due to overlapping traits)
- self diagnosis doesn’t take away resources from anyone
- the only people who don’t take a disorder seriously “because of” self diagnosis don’t take it seriously anyway
- the DSM is available online
- it doesn’t matter if they’re wrong - if they’re self diagnosing it’s because they had a problem and the resources and coping mechanisms within ____ community helped them.
re: doctors
- many doctors refuse to diagnose
- a lot of these reasons are racism and sexism
- some traits/symptoms are internal and are therefore not seen by doctors
- doctors diagnose based on behavior. people self-dx based on.. behavior.
re: racism, classism, sexism
- many poc (especially black people) are diagnosed with “being {race}”
- many people who are perceived as girls won’t be diagnosed because {sexist reason such as ‘girls cant get autism’ - yes thats a real reason people have been denied diagnosis}
- going to a professional is expensive. it doesn’t matter if you were “obviously _____” or not - it’s expensive.
hey just so everyone knows: this post has over 1,000 notes and 2 people were jerks. 2.
{ID - four panel digital comic of Team Rocket.
Jessie lays under a blanket, looking anxious; her boobs are comically poking up through the sheet. James stands above her smiling and saying, “Good luck.”
Cut to Jessie in bed again, this time with very little boob-bump under the sheet. Nurse Joy stands over her saying, “Your breast reduction was a success!”
Jessie sits up, asking, “Where is James?”
Offscree, Nurse Joy responds, “Who do you think took your boobs?”
Cut to Jessie standing above James sleeping in bed. He has huge boobs and is wearing an orange bikini (in reference to the banned episode,
Beauty and the Beach). Jessie is wailing, “Noooo!”
