I just like walking sticks, I usually have a bigger one that like a staff but I found this one that's cane length ive been digging lately. I don't need a walking aid but theyre still nice to have for walking and also for the fit imo. But now idk if im coming off as just eccentric or rude. Am I alone on this?
Since you guys showed a lot of love for my previous post where I showed my past bird inspired makeup, I decided to post this here too.
The birds in order are:
Secretary Bird
Red Avadavat
Pigeon
Great Horned Owl
Scarlet Macaw
Common Grackle
Peacock
Pileated Woodpecker
I felt like Secretary Bird would have a fancy, but still corporate look to her, so I wore a white shirt and dark brown pants to match her body color (black from the legs down). I painted the area around my eyes orange, and added white and black lines to the outline to resemble the feathers that come out of the bird’s head.
Please excuse the bathroom pics I don't often encounter a full length mirror (except for when I need to piss and / or shit and I clearly love to commemorate my bathroom trips 🥰 /j)
Ever since my autism diagnosis I have been working to understand how much of my outwardly presented self is a learned identity I have created in order to mask, and how much of me is really "me". The conclusion I am arriving at is that the masked self is still me, but that I actually derive more pleasure and meaning in life from being comfortable and meeting my sensory needs than from striving to appear "put together" all of the time. It is exhausting enough just existing, but ADHD brain loves to seek fun and exploration in places my Autistic brain wants there to be predictability and comfort.
You beautiful folks blow my mind with ur copious quantities of swag. Hopefully my heath improves soon so I can find ways of being expressive while also being sensorily comfortable :)
Tattooed eyes, split & tattooed tongue
Cropped and pointed ears
Heavy black work with white over
Really like the color of it, but still deciding if I like the crop, and how I styled that area. And the bandana is fun but it does hide the awesome braids my friend did for me. The chains look absolutely sick.
Anyways, as always, I welcome your honest feedback!
