What is a character, as a neurodivergent person, that you relate to a lot and why?
I have ADHD (possibly HSP too?) and most of my favorite characters are nothing like me, but when they are it’s very specific. My biggest example is Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz.
I could write literal paragraphs about this (and I have) but to keep it simple, Scarecrow‘s story is literally about how he was bullied by crows who convinced him he was brainless to then go on a whole adventure so he could discover that he was smart in his own way and he didn’t need to have a brain for it. That’s at least what I got out of the story.

A huge up-spring in selfshippers as of late.
I’ve been seeing much more people get into yumeshipping recently, and I was wondering what others thought. Do you think people trend-hopping? Or are people actually starting to feel more comfortable about being “cringe”?
As someone who’s been a selfshipper since I was like 7, I’m honestly pretty content with all the new people in the community (even if there’s more drama). Yeah it is annoying how lots of people used to get bullied heavily for just mentioning it, but I feel so much more comfortable and confident posting F/O art nowadays.
My Felix the cat collection
hello everyone! I’m kind of new to Reddit but I’ve been itching to talk about Felix on here SO. let’s just get right into it. I’ve been in the Felix community for 2 years now, and my interest has only grown over time. This is a big ramble, so obviously you don’t have to read it all.
(Sorry if the images are bad quality, I tried my hardest)
Image 1: All my Felix things that are on display together.
Image 2: My Harvey classic comics. I‘m pretty neutral about these.
Image 3: My other Felix comics. The two at the bottom are from the b&w series (my personal favorites), the top two are the same issue if the “New Adventures of Felix & friends”, and the one on the righthand side is my rarest comic, a 1930s(?) Pat Sullivan comic.
Image 4: My official Felix the cat plushies. The two plushies on the farthest sides are from A&A, the ones in the middle are from toy factory. The reason I have 2 of the same stuffed animal is because the one with the bowtie is pretty personal to me, and the stars fade over time.
Image 5: Unoffical/custom Felix the cat merch. I made the 3 pins, and the Xilef figure. The Felix statue was 3D printed, and The Xilef plush was something I got commissioned by ProductsByIandMShop on Etsy
Image 6: My funko merch. 2 Funko pops and a Funko soda (I turned one of the duplicates into the Xilef figure).
Image 7: My Felix the cat bags. The matching Loungefly bags, a regular bag with a huge Felix sticker stuck on it (unofficial, but it fits more into this category), and a tote bag.
Image 8: Hot topic merch, a necklace, some earrings, and a hair clamp. I would wear these but I’m not a big accessory person, and the metal would probably irritate my skin anyway.
Image 9: My Felix the cat Graphic novel, i‘ve read it about a million times now so it’s pretty beat up, I might get a mint one for display + Felix the cat saves Christmas DVD, I really want at least the 80s Felix movie DVD to go along with it, but Twisted tales or Baby Felix would be fine additions too.
Notes: If you have any questions, advice, or anything about this I’d love to hear! I’m planning to make more custom Felix merchandise to hang up, like paintings (I’m very inspired by Don’s work), or another shelf for my Xilef the extraordinary things (I’m his biggest fan)
“I am all of me.”
Some of you may have seen this on deviantART, but I made this for their pride palette challenge. It doesn’t have much to do with shadow the hedgehog, I just find the phrase “I am all of me” very fitting for the bigender identity.
