I decided to make my own comfort kit for the convention I’m going to in about a week! I figured you might want to see it since it was your idea (and Nepeta’s, obviously), and yeah. Thanks for the idea, you wonderful people! I think it’ll help a lot. :D Contents: 1. A reusable coffee cup thing. I plan to bring some soothing herbal tea as well. 2. My 3DS and games (I keep them all in that big pencil box that the 3DS is resting on top of, usually). 3. My iPod and headphones. They’re not noise-cancelling, but they muffle the outside world well enough to be helpful. 4. A deck of tarot cards. I dunno if this is weird or not, but I find shuffling cards to be super soothing!  5. Ibuprofen, since I’m prone to migraines. I also plan to bring my meds and vitamins and such in a little baggie in case I forget to take them one morning. 6. A sketchbook and pencil. 7. My iPad. 8. A piece of my beloved blankie. Over the years, it’s developed a very unique, familiar scent that sticks even after being washed, which I find unbelievably comforting. (PS: Your portrayal of Asperger’s syndrome is heartbreakingly accurate. I’m on the spectrum myself, and Nepeta’s story was so easy for me to relate to—it felt almost like I was reading about myself! Major kudos, you are all awesome. <3)

All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin’ the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
and speak my point of view
But it’s not sane, it’s not sane

I just want someone to say to me
I’ll always be there when you wake
Ya know I’d like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I’ll have it made

And I don’t understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there’s no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it’s a great escape
escape…escape…escape…
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
ya don’t like my point of view
ya think I’m insane

Its not sane…it’s not sane.

vastderp:

no rain was a huge fucking thing for me when I was a tiny preteen genderqueer person who felt completely alone and everyone was laughing at me for the way i dressed and acted and i didn’t understand why

it gave me hope

also bees are fucking awesome and i’ll cut anyone who disagrees

[reblogging Past Me because it’s been like years since i sperged out on this song. It’s the official Brainbent theme, and I am genetically incapable of shutting up about how awesome it is in every single way imaginable.

By the way, this video was some fridge brilliance because do you know what bees do to communicate? They dance at each other.]
