I just realized I NEVER shared this little mothman doll I made back in fall, he was a one day project and has moveable limbs plus removable neck fuzz! To weigh him down I used various small bells so he also jingles :)

Does Kuras eat?

Kuras doesn’t need to eat, so he never remembers to. On the few occasions when he has attempted to fake eating for the sake of politeness, his acting has been unconvincing at best.

… so he is like a mom… fake eating Play-Doh pasta their kid made for them.

Tbh I think that when an autistic person says something and you interpret it in a way you think is offensive and then the autistic person is like “no I didn’t mean it that way” you should probably just consider the possibility that they actually didn’t mean it that way instead of preparing the pyre

Some time ago, one of my best friends said that they found me abrasive until they learned to ask “what did you mean by that” when something came off wrong, and then my intended meaning would always be different than what they thought I meant.

We’ve gotten along great ever since.

hey can you do me a favour?? Can you go get that nice pristine sketchbook or journal you’ve been hoarding and put some kind of mark on the first page?
Anything will do, like a smudge of graphite or a blob of ink, or perhaps a very scribbly dinosaur. Just put something there. Please, or the dinosaur will be sad.

I was SO SAD for this dinosaur that I grabbed the nearest notebook (a calendar) and drew a little sailing ship for him

oh thank goodness!

IT’S OKAY IF YOU MESS IT UP

SKETCHBOOKS ARE FOR MESSING UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THEY ARE!!!! It’s right in the name! Like @sleepnoises said a while ago, they’re for the quick putdowning of ideas! to catch the stuff that comes out of your brain!
(I don’t mean to say that pretty sketchbook pages are bad, but it’s important for your health to do quick scribbly stuff too. if not in a book then perhaps on small scraps of paper)

The dinosaur is very glad to see so many doodles in the notes!
Also lots of comments with very good suggestions for people who have a hard time starting, like starting on the second page, just signing & dating it, numbering the pages, or using the first page to put samples of all your usual pencils and pens and such.

Here’s how I started my new sketchbook, which I got for 5 dollars at Dollarama.
I would have drawn on that first blank page instead of just signing it, but it was partially glued to the endpaper and wouldn’t lie flat.

(Also, since the sketches are about making velvet mites with little wired legs, I must mention that if/when I get around to doing that it’ll be posted on @vincentbriggs where all my non-dinosaur arts go.)
