💰Fandom Merchandise! First, a plushie of: Shadow the Hedgehog, Knuckles the Echidna, Sonic the Werehog, Tails, Julie-Su the Echidna (I don’t care if nobody is really making a plushie of her, I WANT IT! I also already have Sonic and Amy Rose) a Nicole the Holo-Lynx themed Chromebook, a Bunnie + Antoine action figure set, a Sonic Underground themed pillowcase (Meaning a picture with Sonia, Sonic and Manic on it) and a Future Freedom Fighter themed blanket (With every member on it! And coloured rainbow)

💰Video Game Stuff! Pokopia, a new 3DS, various in-game player costumes for SoS: FoMT (They have quite a few) and a new phone with more storage to play mobile games like Pokémon Masters EX + TCGP (I don’t have enough space for them on my phone anymore but they’re safe on my iPad)

💰Treats! Oreos, Cheetos, mars bars, sushi, Chinese food (From 4 Seasons), soft serve vanilla ice cream, shrimp linguine (From Red Lobster), gingerbread cookies, McDonald’s fries, Wendy’s burgers, etc. (Tooootally didn’t get hungry making this list, lol)

These are my true feelings, NOT a “BRAG”

While I do notice a person’s physical appearance and I do have preferences in that regard (I tend to like bigger women for example), it’s literally the last thing I think about when it comes to romantic relationships. Nobody is “Ugly” in my personal opinion and, honestly, I’m more focused on mutual interests + personality than “Looks”. This sometimes comes out wrong (A person says “Am I unattractive?”, I say “I don’t think that’s important” or whatever. It’s an awkward situation). Specific people have said that individuals like me (Meaning under the asexual umbrella) just don’t understand how “Vital” appearance is to those who DO have s3x! Let’s take a moment to reflect on this small statement:

❤️Not all asexuals swear off s3xual relations/activities

❤️”Looks”, particularly based on youth, don’t last forever. Just think about it, if you were considering a long-term relationship and dated/married only for a younger appearance, you’d be screwed! (It wouldn’t be fair for anyone, but you’re probably well aware I can’t stop you… As long as everybody is old enough + has the ability to consent)

❤️I do feel physical attraction myself, however, it’s not a priority. The most romantic love I think I’ve ever felt was with people who I talked about my special interests with! Just yappin’ almost nonstop! (Maybe it seems different to you but I’m allowed to have a unique feeling of attraction)

Thanks for reading! (Respectful questions welcome!)

Okay, lots of people say video games are not good for anyone, they “Ruin your life/brain/mood”. But let’s put aside the fact that certain games can actually keep your brain healthy in different ways (Depending on how it works strategy wise, Pokémon is a supposedly researched example). I’d say the biggest benefits of gaming are:

🏆The social aspect (Even occasionally). Joining communities with similar game interests is a great way to make friends (I wouldn’t have known many people in my life if I didn’t like video games)

🏆The much needed escape from whatever. While yes, a book or television show could do the same for certain people, games can’t be counted out! Whenever I play, I feel more relaxed and confident (I love sharing stories from my games with others)

🏆The creative outlet (For both official content and fan-made content). Lots of individuals enjoy making video game ideas, either for an already existing game or a completely new concept! (Me included). The people who actually create the ideas for games are incredible to me, no doubt!

Overall I play Pokémon and Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons regularly but I enjoy Sonic stuff despite not being physically able to play most of their games (Motor skill issues). I love all 3 big fandoms and their awesome communities! So before you look down on games and their players, remember to be kind and realize that some people met others, felt better and challenged themselves through gaming!🩷-An autistic game lover!

I printed out my karaoke list for my day program!

(And yes, they’re all my favourite Sonic songs😝)

Apparently they have small idol performances!

🎈🎈🎈

I finally attended my day program! I’ve been waiting years for this! I tried one out previously but it was a bad fit… Anyway, I made a new friend on the first day, I was asked to write a script for them (They have a drama group, they actually wanted me to write something for them because of my writing skills/background!) and I engaged in fun activities (Karaoke, crafts and more to come!). The people there seemed to really understand disability acceptance + respect (A client had a meltdown but it was quickly dealt with, not put on the back burner, not punished, they ACTUALLY LISTENED! Nobody talked down to them either! As sad as it sounds, this is kinda rare in some places…). My service dog, Eevee, was initially a bit nervous but she eventually felt more relaxed in this new environment after a few hours. Overall, I think this might be the right fit for me!🥹

🦋Women don’t owe you children, s3x or a certain job

🦋Disabled people don’t owe you inspiration, pushing past their limits or hiding at home

🦋Transgender people don’t owe you a certain fashion, use of their “Original name” or “Old pronouns”

🦋Nonbinary people don’t owe you androgynous looks, fashion or to “Pick one” on their IDs/government stuff

🦋Fat people don’t owe you weight loss efforts, bland outfits or less representation in media

🦋Gay/lesbian/pansexual/bisexual/etc. don’t owe you attraction to anyone with the same identity label, to not have kids or fit very narrow stereotypes

🦋Asexual people don’t owe you “Trying it”, thinking of reconsidering the label due to having attraction or not dating

(A lot of the examples here are relevant from group to group)

I’ve recently been binging Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar (Playing at least 3 in game days per real day). I really like that there’s a nonbinary option for players, you can also marry candidates regardless of your gender identity (Now I can date women in SoS games💖). Also, yes, I purchased the DLC✨(There’s an alpaca, chick, cow and ninja set of outfits!)

This is the lady I’m after! (This is an old photo, I’m up to at least 4 hearts with her, it’s summer, year 1 and I got lots of stuff done so far, of course, lots more to do!)

(This is a funny photo, I’ve got a silly sense of humour😂It gets me every time!)

An few updates to my personal pinned post🥳

🟢🟢I know it isn’t Mother’s Day but…🟢🟢

🟩I didn’t buy an apartment in the area to get me into the high school I needed, my Mum did!

🟩I didn’t fly to Ontario for service dog training (And to acquire said dogs), my Mum did! (Multiple times)

🟩I didn’t give birth to myself, my Mum did!

🟩I didn’t personally buy clothes that express my love of rainbows and dresses, my Mum did! (I have lots of rainbow stuff now!)

🟩I didn’t initially accept myself for being autistic, but, my Mum did! (She taught me that!)

🟩I didn’t shop and pay for the food I just ate (Pasta, shrimp and dragon fruit), my Mum did!

🟩I didn’t even think of going to the mental health hospital when I was having mood/anxiety problems, my Mum did! (I’m so glad because it helped me feel better in the end!)

🟩I didn’t know much about LGBTQ+ stuff, my Mum refused to just “Let it be”, she taught me the importance of learning about who I am! (So, in the end she did! Yet again!)

🟢🟢Love you Mum!🟢🟢

My Sonic OCs (Drawn by me!)

Reagan the poodle💜

Seesee the chihuahua🩷

I don’t usually draw because of my fine motor skill issues (Connected to my autistic brain, lol). I like how these turned out though! (I’ll add profiles and colours later)

My new plush arrived yesterday! Amy Rose is one of my favourite characters, along with:

✨Julie-Su

✨Tails

✨Manic

✨Shadow

✨Bean the Dynamite

✨Sticks

(Most characters I know best in the Sonic Archie Comics)

My lesbian car from Sonic Racing Crossworlds!😝

This game is pretty good btw✨

Hi, my name is Maggie and I’m looking for a partner (I’m only romantically attracted to women and some nonbinary individuals, I don’t want s3x). I really like Pokémon, Sonic and dogs! I’ll need lifetime support because of my disability but that doesn’t necessarily need to be my partner’s responsibility. I take relationships very seriously (Both friendships and romances). My dream is to be an author/disability advocate. If you have any questions, just dm me (Or comment, whatever). I’m looking to date in Canada (I live in Manitoba). I’m extremely empathetic (It shows, I cry at movies and during songs along with irl stuff). I’m currently in my early 20s and I have a service dog (If you’re interested, I have pics of her!)

A beautiful song that I recently discovered. I’ve always loved country music (I was raised on it) even though I’ve been listening to multiple different genres.

I think it’s sweet! (I also like lyric videos😝)

🦫🦫🦫

Things I do that I find cute (Well? Some):

• Put emojis around every name in my contacts (Eg. 🦔Banana🦔, AKA what I call one of my aunts)
• Speak with a baby talk voice when I praise my service dog
• Wear bright rainbow dresses (I have many different rainbow outfits now!)
• Swim like I’m an actual fish (I love swimming)
• Eat specific foods weird (I have problems with motor coordination so I’ve always had to eat a certain way to make less mess, especially with spaghetti, or eating crackers with a spoon)
• Stim by moving my hands up and down (It’s usually accompanied by my smiling face)
• Narrate when I’m watching a show/movie with a person (I explain what’s going on but I don’t talk over the characters, I also look over at the person’s face periodically to see how they’re enjoying the story)
• Get really geeky and excited over my special interests (Pokémon, Sonic, SpongeBob, etc.). We’re talkin’ collecting hundreds of images of the characters (I have 6,000+ Pokémon images and 500+ Sonic ones!) thinking about them nonstop, infodumping everyone possible, etc.

Questions are welcome!✨

Sonic

My Sonic vocal song playlist on YouTube (Mostly my favourites, there are 3 unrelated Sonic videos at the end, they just don’t fit anywhere else)

Enjoy!😘 (Hopefully the link performs properly)

Okay, to the parents and other caregivers of autistic people that have more challenges (As well as the individuals themselves):

I’m sorry that autism took away what you might’ve envisioned for them (Marriage, university, for them to have kids of their own). As an autistic woman who is getting a job in 2026, is trying the dating scene, etc. my life looks different. Lots of autistic people have situations where they’re unintentionally violent, I stress how lucky I am to have grown out of that, just that, LUCKY! If violence doesn’t stop and you’re doing your absolute best (Lots of autism caring families do) then it’s not your fault, make sure you get the help you BOTH need (Not just them, you deserve it too). Just remember, those violent meltdowns are results of stress, anxiety, big emotions, some are completely unavoidable, that’s unfortunately the reality for many. I try my best to be positive but families are actually suffering from the lack of support and understanding for someone autistic in their lives. Some never speak, some have to be moved to a facility or another place just to be properly cared for. I just want you all to know, it wasn’t your fault, not the diagnosis, not the uncontrollable behaviour, not the pain anyone experiences. My love goes out to you all, maybe someday the things can be done, not a cure, but a coping system for those who need the help. Don’t give up hope and don’t think you never deserve to be seen/heard by society🩶🩶🩶

2026 resolutions!✅

😄🗯️

Okay, here’s something I might’ve said before:

As much as I enjoy talking about stuff I love (Pokémon, Harvest Moon, Sonic, etc.) with people who are already huge fans, I somehow find almost maximum joy in explaining (Or rather info-dumping) people who don’t know what I’m talking about specifically. As long as they’re willing to learn, I can work something out🤭

🐝🐝🐝

Okay, some like to tell sensitive people (Like me) that we’re too soft on others, that we could never be in a position of power, in a medical field, etc. Well? I know I wasn’t meant to be a doctor or politician but I don’t see my tears as weakness…

When I lose someone I love, I feel upset but I try to remember this saying “How lucky am I to have had something I love so much, that it hurts so much to say goodbye?”

Another saying I try to remember is “Big feelings aren’t to be completely experienced by the truly weak, it takes courage and heart to really feel what you’re feeling” (Meaning, it’s brave and worthwhile to process and accept your emotions, rather than running away from them, this includes expressing our emotions safely)

Third saying: “We’re expected to have our lives rewritten at eighteen years old, no more mistakes or you’ll be heavily punished, no more living with your family or you’ll be left behind, no more expressing yourself as a teenager or you’ll be a disgrace… Don’t judge those who have been denying this reality, life is unfair but never add to the unfairness” (Meaning, those who chose to reconnect with their inner child, still live with their relatives or dress like they did as teens might not be accepted as “Normal” in society, however, you don’t need to point that out to them! Recent studies says most people don’t fully mature emotionally before 30+ and even then it’s not the same for everyone. Be kind and realize that their story is theirs)

As a sensitive autistic woman, these are some of my favourite sayings🐝

New rainbow dress!🌈

Mum bought me 2 different rainbow dresses for Christmas and they finally arrived!

A reminder as we’re going into the new year!😊

(Questions welcome!)

My Christmas morning haul (Before the big presents)🎄

My little brother is making us breakfast (Bacon, hash browns, etc.) and we’ll be opening presents later near the tree and have Christmas dinner tonight! I can’t wait to see what everyone gets!

Edit: A new dress and plushie (Among other things)

🎠🎠🎠

Okay, the day program I’ll be attending in January has so many great activities!

🎠Sports. I don’t usually do sports other than swimming or running/walking but I’m open to more! Bowling is one I’m not terribly excited about

🎠Food Classes. They have baking, cooking and making cultural foods too! I might stay away from the nutritional education stuff if it’s too strict or has an anti-fat bias (Y’all know how I feel about that!). They have multiple kitchen areas

🎠Self Care Options. You can sign up to attend ladies/mens groups for conversation, yoga and get honest to goodness manicures or facials!

🎠Advocacy. I intend to continue advocating at my old high school, they offer support by having groups about making TED talks, speaking publicly, etc. I’m super happy for those!

🎠Art. They have painting, crafts, theatre, story writing, beading, etc. I’m especially interested in the writing classes as an author!

🎠Various Education. Cultural classes, ASL courses and making clothes/fashion are just a few examples! I think it’s important to learn basic sign language, especially someone with a job like mine. I look forward to learn about other cultures as well!

Eevee (My service dog) is fully welcome in the program and it’s located in a big city church. I probably covered only 60% of the activities that were in the activity list! I’ll probably only go 3 days a week so I can still volunteer at my old school. Transportation is provided once the trial is complete.

I’m going to tour a day program starting Friday!

I made a little booklet with information they should know in advance (Mum emailed the document to the head of the program)

🥇

Okay, I’ve lost a few important friends in past years. I don’t know who needs to hear this but:

If you’re still legitimately close with someone and they leave (They don’t really hang out and/or talk with you anymore). Maybe it wasn’t because you did something wrong. In a recent case of mine, a friend told me they were finally going after a job they really wanted because they saw my efforts at school in advocating (Something I was good at and enjoyed) However, this meant they’d be too busy for regular quality time. I felt sad but I couldn’t ask someone I cared about to give up their dreams for me. I could look back at this moment as abandonment by a former friend OR I could see the silver lining, that I was still their friend and I inspired them to work hard and take a chance believing in themselves. I still miss this person but there’s nothing to do, we still hang out sometimes, which are still very special times for me. Autism sometimes means having fewer friends and having difficulty keeping them, but, sometimes the “Ending” of a close friendship doesn’t necessarily mean someone was at fault, some people aren’t compatible, some people can’t have too many friends at once and some people need to chase the dreams they’re worthy of. You’re allowed to feel sad, angry, anxious or whatever (I know I did!) but sometimes there’s nobody to blame. I didn’t blame my friend or myself after a while. I healed with time…❤️‍🩹

Does anyone else have trouble with these things as an autistic person?

💝Having many close friends (like 3+ for me). I can have many social bonds in my life at once but I only can have 2-3 super close friends that I talk with daily and be really honest with. Any more than that and I get overwhelmed

💝Worrying about your special interest. Pokémon is mine and while it’s doing extremely well, I often worry like “What if it ends in my lifetime!?” or “What if they start doing bad stuff and I’ll have to stop engaging with it!?” (Eg. What happened regarding Harry Potter related issues). I love Pokémon, PLEASE DON’T SCREW UP!

💝Trying to balance being informed and being sane. I know people without autism definitely feel this too but as a disability advocate, I feel obligated to always know what’s happening in my community… Until I’m on my bed crying, thinking life is a horror movie (Which it is sometimes). However, being mentally exhausted isn’t going to help anyone either so I’m often going back and forth, feeling guilty about not reading everything about what’s happening

My first bikini top!😘

My Mum bought several bikini sets and this top was my favourite!

I made another Pokémon quiz! Honestly, it was fun to make and I tried testing it on my Mum (7/18, not bad)

Answers: Diamond and Pearl, Mouse Pokémon, Evolution Pokémon, Water, Unova, Bug or Water type Pokémon, Field, Mythical Pokémon, F, F, Ogerpon, Turo, Cyclizar, 18, Throwing Pokéballs, Outsiders, Biology, The Polar Biome

I tried to take a better picture of the sky at sunrise (I couldn’t leave my house, lol). I love it when it looks pink🩷
