(Background by me, which you can probably tell from the different lineart style)

You know how in the show everything turns into purple, blue etc. during ghost fights? That's what I was going for.

Me: Not doing lineart is so fun 😊

Also me:

Here is the background on its own

Ghastlings are so cute we all should kill oursrlves idk

I'm starting an Autisic Arin headcanon compilation

Arin "takes everything literally and has trouble seeing through lying/sarcasm" Ninjago

Arin "I'm terrible at social cues" Ninjago

Arin "I tried to be excited about my special interest but no one was listening so I kinda faded out of the conversation" Ninjago

Arin "People praised me for being naturally good at the beginning but now they talk about my 'wasted potential' " Ninjago

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big
