Be pretty.

Yeah. You know what, yeah. I'm trying to build my wardrobe a bit louder and queerer so that its recognizably queer, nerdy, silly, and also beautiful.

People hated Wednesday? What?

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Where did anyone say in the post that people hated Wednesday?

[–] FleetingTit@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

No, they obsess over the character, which means liking it more than is healthy, I think.

It is nice to see autistic characters develop in a fantasy setting. I think it is not so much about the character as it is about its circumstances.

Yeah over the years I've watched Autism go from millennials' joke of the century to genZs' new fad... and yeah it's making me lose even more respect in people.
