I can’t sit still in my seat, my classmates recommended me one of these, but do they work or are they just a nuisance?

For my 37th Birthday on Canada Day I got the most sentimental Barbie. I got the Autistic Barbie, growing up I loved playing with Barbies until I was 14 & my dog ate the majority of them haha. I don't use an AAC device, but I do use stim toys and ear defenders or loops when needed and have noise cancelling headphones.

Alejandro Ripley was nine years old his mother is convicted for drowing him in May of 2020. She said two black men had taken him. That gave me Susan Smith vibes. Poor kid never stood a chance. There is really too much evil in this world. I saw an older post here which is why I thought I would talk about the case. He seemed like a sweet boy.

I understand special needs kids can be hard but killing them isn't the answer.

Geek out in the explanations below!

My name is Bijhan Agha. I'm a trans Muslim Uruguayan of Iranian descent with autism. My nonbinary spouse, RaeRae, is my editor. The comics are alternately illustrated by SwapTrap, a cis man from India; and Pallet, a trans man from Australia.

What is Time Wars
I've created a fictional universe where Humanity and Vampirekind have been eternally locked in a shadow war across every culture and in every era of history. In the deep future, time travel is invented, and both sides send agents into the past to recruit "temporal natives" to change the course of history. While the Vampires recruit the influential and powerful, Humanity empowers the marginalized and ostracized, fighting for a future beyond bigotry.

NOVELS

All of the novels are available exclusively in digital formats: PDF, EPUB, and DOCX.

The Undying Queen and the Dragon's Son
I wanted to tell a gothic horror story, and have the magic of the universe rooted in real history. Artemisia of Halicarnassus has always been fascinating to me: a woman who inherited her father's regency due to her unparalleled skill as a warrior and sailor, and the first woman to be a naval admiral in recorded history. I'm also intrigued by the historical figure of Vlad Dracula, made famous by the novel Dracula, but whose real legacy is much more devastating and brutal. I decided to make them both just as immortal as their legacies by giving them X-Crystals, powerful magical artifacts in the Time Wars universe, which allow the users to manifest their emotions as physical and elemental powers. I did thorough research into both Artemisia's time and culture, as well as 15th century Wallachia, including maps of the capital city of Tagoviste. The story I told here is at once loving and upsetting, a center of hope surrounded by a patina of despair. I hope it thrills, terrifies, and inspires you.

Legends of the Order
In much the same ways that some civilizations lionize their historical figures - such as Heracles of Thebes, Arthur Pendragon, and Julius Caesar - assigning them magical properties or even worshipping them as gods, I thought it would be a wonderful thing to re-imagine the heroes of America as such. The story is about Harriet Tubman and John Brown being given alien technology by agents from the future, so they can wage a broader and more devastating campaign against the Vampires who are behind the insititution of slavery and machinations of war. When a treasure trove of alien technology is discovered under the Nevada desert, Tubman and Brown must assemble a team to heroes to race the Vampires to the buried starship. It include an ensemble cast include a gay tans man who uses a mysterious stone to teleport, a free Black cis man who worships the Olympians and uses robotic limbs to fight, a trans Muslim Persian woman who has an X-Crystal and hunts Vampires on her own terms, and a gay Chinese-American former coolie who has become the sheriff of Rock Hen, Nevada due to this amazing gunslinging - among many others. The story is told alinearly, except for the climax, challenging the reader to piece together the timeline.

The Phantom Revolution
Realizing most of my stories are from the perspective of those interacting with time travelers, this story follows a Time Corps Agent of the Human Republic from the 161st Century. She is a shape shifter, able to take any form, as she conducts a series of missions across history. However, her rival, Nadira Adona, is a Vampire who can also shape shift, and who seeks to upend our hero's journey. The story is told linearly through history, though each of the two time travelers experiences the events in totally different orders. The interweaving time lines, use of extraordinary technology from the future, and the mysterious ways they interact with the "temporal natives" is at once thrilling and puzzling. Though the emotional core of a woman trying to win a war against a deadly foe is clear, the order of events challenges you to read context clues and put together a clearer picture of how the characters experience events.

Starship Tatanka - Border of Terror
I wanted to model a future which is simultaneously aspirational in how society has overcome concepts like racism and queerphobia, but also pinned in by the Vampires' insidious efforts to perpetuate classism, capitalism, and hegemony. Inspired by the Star Trek's vision of scientists and explorers being a driving force in civilization of the future, I developed a delicate social network of unusual people from disperate cultureal backgrounds and of various neurodivergent natures who are working hard to form a crew for an isolate starship on a mission to map the nebulae on the border of the Galactic Human Republic. All queer by modern standards, they live in newly-formed polycules, managing their romantic relationships in addition to their professional ones. All of that is thrown into chaos, however, when a Time Corps Agents from the 161st Century arrives and announces that not only is there a vast Vampire conspiracy on a nearby world to initiate war with the enigmatic Ongol Empire... but one of the crew is a Vampire themself. The story that follows is full of puzzling mystery, brutal violence, daring escapes, political intrigue, and even starship battles. For fans of queer literature, and/or classic science fiction.

The Adventures of Ash Grey & Saturn Olympus
A spin-off of the novel Legends of the Order, the character of Ash and Saturn are focused on in more detail.

Saturn Olympus is a Black cis man who worships the Olympians, and who uses robotic prosthetics for his arms and legs. They are the 19th Century's greatest Vampire hunters, having annihilated most of the monsters in Washington Territory, a region controlled by the Vampire Warlord Leonard Victor. Ash and Saturn are also two men in love, regarding themselves as husbands in an interracial, interfaith, gay marriage. However, at the same time that Victor sends the cyborg bounty hunter, Alice Hayweather, to kill them, Ash discovers he's pregnant! Now they have less than 10 months to hunt down to evade Alice, and hunt down and kill Victor. They'll need help, though - and so they begin the task of assembling a team of heroes to wage war.

The Adventures of Zero & One
With inspiration from "magical friends" anime and manga, like Digimon and Pokemon, I wanted to make something where both halves of the team were equal, and immerse the hero in a world totally unknown. Set in the distant future, Zero of Mars is a nonbinary youth of an ethnicity that does not yet exist in our time, who crash-lands on a planet called Elentia full of living sentient robots called Elemorphs. The Elemorphs come in all shapes and sizes, each drawing from different elemental power sources. Despite a language barrier, Zero makes friends with an Elemorph named One, who looks like a small deer and has nature-based powers. Together they discover a series of clues left behind hundreds of years ago by Time Corps Agents from the deep future, putting them at the center of a mystery which spans the ages. Soon they discover they're being pursued by a Vampire agent and their Elemorph collaborator, who seek to conquer the Elemorphs and bring them as enslaved living weapons into the Time Wars.

I really hope you find something in here which appeals to you. Me and my spouse have worked really hard to try and make stories which inspire, dazzle, and entertain. We struggle often to survive, and any help you want to give us by supporting our work would mean the world to us.

Let's push back against eugenicist talking points, anti-autistic sentiment and ableism. We must do it.

I hope this is helpful for many. myeligible.ca

Dolls are my special interest but I often impulse buy, so I made it visual!

I feel like this happens so often to me, people think that I’m mad or that I’m sad or a lot of different emotions that they think I’m trying to express when sometimes I feel the opposite of how I am being interpreted.

these aren’t all the pins I have but there was confusion on my last lanyard tour that I was a klepto because of the formatting of the pin but I am not I promise

some of my identities have changed since and I definitely could add more pins
