      It’s probably just that our community is the very niche for this.

        I’ve legitimately had these thoughts. Being raised amab and isolated af growing up, finally found people I legitimately trusted and loved, for the first time after I was 24. The emotional shock was large to say the least.

        “Wow, this is what some other people’s every day life is? Truly being able to relax around loving people their whole life? That’s so much bullshit.”

        Less memeable, but hey, that’s what we’ve got 😅

          The first time I hung out with other women and felt included, I was asked how I felt. All I could say is that I felt “Happy.” I just hadn’t felt that way before. Despite being in my 20s, I had never been so happy existing with others.

          It took time to recognize that it was because I wasn’t dysphoric about my social existence for once. I didn’t feel like a gross outsider. I felt like one of them. It hurt when I had to go back. Finally feeling right made feeling wrong again so much worse.

      Queer/Neurodivergent people often don’t get to experience certain things until later in life because of the isolation they faced as kids. Finally having these normalized experiences can be bittersweet. You might be happier than you’ve ever been, but you’re also sad that it took so long. It can feel so unfair.

        Oohhh, I guess this is a serial comic where they set that up?

          Yes. She’s a play on the yandere trope of an adorable love interest who’s also obsessive and violent. Instead of being a villain who’s simply “crazy,” her violence and lack of interpersonal skills are contextualized as a result of neurodivergence, tragedy, and the very perception of her as evil. She’s not a psycho, just someone that needs love and attention.

      This makes a bit more sense than “Master of Puppets”

        after I posted MoP I rethought about the implied context around the original post and deleted my comment shortly after

        One thing I’ll want to do next time tho is just edit the comment instead of making a new one😅🤗

        No… I meant her dress… Please don’t make this weird, I just really like the checkered brown black pattern on her clothing and I wish to have something like that too <3
