i’ve heard a total of maybe 1.5 gorillaz songs in my life but the shit with murdoc is the funniest thing i’ve ever witnessed
like, as i understand it: cartoon band is made of four people- nice blue hair guy with the big eyes, big guy who may be haunted???, the Most Adorable Girl and a pile of trash who kinda looks like the beatles. beatle trash dude somehow gets replaced with a minor villain from the powerpuff girls and everyone likes him better
When I’m out and about and need to escape being overwhelmed with noise, light, or socializing, and the people I’m with don’t know I’m autistic, I don’t tell them that I’m heading towards a meltdown or am experiencing sensory overload.
I tell them I’m getting a migraine.
Meltdowns and migraines are, from my understanding, neurologically similar events, and for me they often go hand in hand– if I get one, it’s a signal to me that I’m likely to get the other pretty soon and need to take care of myself. The remedy is the same: removing myself from the situation and retreating to a dark, quiet room.
The difference is that NTs often don’t understand and simply dismiss sensory overload if you explain it to them as such, but nearly all of them understand what a migraine is and sympathize. 99% of the time, if I tell a NT that I have a migraine or am about to get one, they treat it as an emergency and help me get away from the source of the overload as quickly as possible. I am then free to recover in a quiet, dark place without anyone trying to invalidate my needs, forcing me to “tough it out”, or thinking that I’m rude for having to leave or to outright avoid certain events or situations in the first place.
Endorsed.
One of my partners gets seizures of the kind that disrupt sensory perceptions and cognition without being visible from the outside: we just call ‘em migraines sometimes for similar reasons.
If you do get actual migraines, it isn’t much of a stretch of the truth to say you’re getting one when you’re going to be getting one shortly.
But if you don’t, and you have a state of incapacity that requires roughly the same care? You totally have my permission as a bona fide migraine sufferer to just call it a damn migraine.
There is nothing wrong with providing a rough shorthand description to a stranger. You don’t owe any random person your full medical history, especially when you’re not in a state to be able to explain it!
… Oh. I thought migraines and overload were coincidentally overlapping. This explains a lot, actually.
i can’t believe it’s still going and still has fans like that asdshjw i was checking the show’s tag on here as well and seeing active live-blogging posts from the last week and i feel like i’ve been transported back to 2013

minecraft was popular. so of course it was Cool to hate it. same with Halo 3. that game is god tier and people hated it because it was fucking cool and good. i’m destined to combat these stereotypes. everyone download Halo 3 and Minecraft, we can all become god.
I also think it was hated because a lot of kids played it, and if you notice, adults love shitting on things that kids like and calling it “cringy”.
