Medically recognized, but not formally diagnosed: a psychologist or other professional recognizes your autism, but you don't have a formal diagnosis
–
We ask your questions so you don’t have to! Submit your questions to have them posted anonymously as polls.
There should be a “peer-reviewed” option for when your autistic friends go “Hey I’m pretty sure you’re also autistic, you should look into that”

(amazingly this has nothing to do with that humanpetguy post I just replied to)
one of my favorite fetish worldbuilding tropes, because of how fucking dumb and unreasonable it is, is the Federal Department of Kinky Shit.
It's the very specific thing that happens where it turns out in your setting, there's a Government Agency that does Kinky Shit.
Like you gotta go to the Big Testing Center when you turn 21 to find out if you're gonna be turned into a ponygirl, by the USDHA: The United States Department of Human Agriculture.
or maybe you get a letter in the mail, and oh no! your number has come up in the Slut Lottery. What's that mean? Why is there a slut lottery? NO TIME TO EXPLAIN, IT'S JUST HOW IT IS! GET TO SLUTTIN'
It kinda makes me want to write one of these stories just so I can try to write a backstory that explains WHY IN THE FUCK their world is like this and no one seems to complain.
It's basically the same trope as "medieval village sacrifices a maiden every year to The Dragon" but modernized. Now there's a Government Agency in charge of Feeding Virgins To Winged Reptiles, and everyone is just fine with that. Apparently the supreme court said it was okay, or we had a constitutional amendment to give the government the power to turn young adults into meals for wyverns. How did that get ratified, anyway? You seriously got 38 states to vote in favor of taking citizens and feeding them to a monster?
This would almost be a commentary on the heartlessness of the draft except they're clearly way too horny about it. It's like instead of saying "the draft is like a monster that eats our children and we just smile and wave the flag", they're saying "the draft is a monster that eats our children and I'm masturbating to it"
I forgot about one of the counterparts of the Federal Department of Kinky Shit: the far-off land of Kinky Shit.
This is where instead of pretending any real country has turned into a strange kink dystopia/utopia, you've just say there's another country, somewhere, which coexists with our boring non-horny countries.
This can be used in several ways: your protagonist gets kidnapped to go there, they marry someone who takes them back there, or they go visit for whatever reason and decide to stay.
This exchanges the "there's a federal agency of Kinky Shit" worldbuilding for "there's a country that does Kinky Shit". Like, IN THE LAND OF THE OTHER WORLD KINGDOM*, ALL MEN ARE SLAVES TO THE DOMINANT WOMEN!
It's probably slightly racist? Like, I think it's inspired by that old genre of fiction that's like "beautiful white woman is captured for the sheik's harem". Which was always sexualized so it was probably slightly fetish porn from the beginning.
* this was actually a real place. It kinda still is? It's in the Czech Republic.

actors love to make their characters subtextually gay not just because they’re a little gay themselves though that often is the case but rather because having a secret is like energy drink to acting, and being gay is the easiest most obvious secret. whenever you’re unsure of your character’s motivations consider: maybe they are gay? see where that takes you. should be pretty far

I-I'm sorry but I can't stop thinking about this
My roommate just called from the kitchen to ask what was wrong because I laughed so hard I gave myself a coughing fit.
I'm so glad the music is what I thought it'd be.
I love that the nature of humanity is to repeat itself

Suddenly struck with a need to explain to you how boat pronouns work (I work in the marine industry).
When you're talking about the design of the boat, you say "it".
When the boat is still being built, your say "it".
When the boat is nearing completion, you can say "it" or "she".
When the boat is floating in the water you probably say "she", unless there is still a lot of work to be done (e.g. no engine yet) then you say "it".
When the boat is officially launched and operating, you say "she". If you continue to say "it" at this point you are not incorrect but suspiciously untraditional. You are not playing the game.
If you are referring to a boat you don't really know anything about you may say "it" ("there's a big boat, it's coming this way"). But if you know its name, it's probably "she" ("there's the Waverley, she's on her way to Greenock").
If you are talking about boats in general, you say "it" ("when a boat is hit by a wave it heels over")
If you speak about a boat in complimentary terms, it's "she" ("she's a grand boat"). If you are being disparaging it may be it, but not necessarily ("it's as ugly as sin", "she's a grotty old tub").
If she has a boy's name, she's still she. "Boy James", "King Edward", "Sir David Attenborough"? The pronoun is she.
If it's a dumb barge (no engine), you say it. But if it's a rowing boat (no engine), you say she.
I hope this has cleared things up so that you may not be in danger of misgendering floating objects.
