IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)
On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!
Do you love transgenders?
Do you love communism?
Do you love queer romance?
Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?
Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?
Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?
All of the answers should be: YES I DO or else I WILL BAN YOU
Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY
The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists 
, Zionists 
(they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) 
in Bosporus, and the monarchs 
of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.
On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union 
is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain 
)that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human 
, Shimmi 
(Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran 
(a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.
First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist 
leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home 
, but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light. 
As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack...
And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.
Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands
All are Communists 
All serve the Union 
All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism 
but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt
Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?
Can they kiss? (oh my god please kiss ISTG THERE IS SO MUCH SHIPPING AHHHH ITS GLORIOUS)

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
I've been talking a lot with my best friend about autism, recently, because I've been having a lot of revelations about my autism. And... I'm starting to realize that not only am I definitely, without a shadow of a doubt autistic, I also present a lot of the general stereotypes about autism (which is a neutral thing, not good or bad.) I'm deeply socially inept, have zero volume control, have low empathy, talk with a monotone (my friend told me this and I was like ??? I thought I talked with highly varying tone? but it makes sense), have an extremely one-track mind, have very ritualized behavior, cannot read people, have frequent meltdowns when things don't go my way, and basically cannot mask to save my life.
Despite all of this, I still feel like I "outwardly" present very neurotypical, but my best friend assured me that I absolutely do not, so I guess that's a problem of perception. Tbh I can never tell someone is autistic unless they tell me (not being able to read people extends to autistic people, lol), so whatever, maybe it makes sense that it applies to me too. I'm also starting to realize that my autism does disable me in several ways, like the one-track mind thing (monotropism)? I have that to an extreme. It takes a huge amount of energy to force my brain to multitask, and when I say "multitask" I literally mean "think about more than one subject within the timeframe of a week" (school as been fun!)
The one thing that I still kind of don't know about is sensory stuff, like I know I have some kinds of sensory issues but I haven't been able to really pick them out clearly yet. I feel like they were a lot more heightened when I was a kid. But I'm sure if I do some digging, I'll find out more about myself in that area.
I think I'm very likely on the spectrum but it's really interesting to me how different our "types" of autism are, I have a ton of sensory sensitivity and am really quiet. I try to overcompensate for difficulty reading people to the point that I can end up reading too much into innocuous details of how someone said something or their expressions or phrasing, but sometimes pick up on a detail about someone that a group of NT people all miss
I'm bad at multitasking though too
Idk where I'm going with this but I just think the way people's brains are all different is neat
I really do think our collective societal understanding of neurodiversity is woefully incomplete, there is both a ton of variance and a ton of overlap. I'd be surprised if we do not dramatically change or reshuffle how we categorise and understand autism in particular within fifty years.
Sounds similar to me, I can read people fairly well and puck up on stuff that people don't typically see.
Senses are tweaked similarly along with being quiet lol
Stupid joke, indirect genital reference
(tell God you really want an innie)
(end up being extremely introverted instead)
spoiler
I have an innie, until it's not an innie
I was born with it
I don't wanna have to do junk origami just to wear leggings

I'm fortunate where everything kind of goes mostly inside.. but I do feel it for people :/
My ability to read people can vary. In terms of directions people are going (whether on foot, bike, or car) is really good imo. When i drive, I subconsciously do a lot of prediction, so even if I'm spacing out, I'll do things like switch lanes to let people over who haven't indicated they're doing it, be confused why I suddenly switched lanes, and then figure out what my subconscious was doing.
With my brother and my cousin, I often can tell what they're going to say before they really said anything or can translate something like a specific laugh at a price into an accurate quantitative guess of what the price was. Idk how well I can reading emotions that well for them though? And for most other people, I don't think I'm good at reading in either context.
The word "empath" and stuff around it are kinda woo-woo imo, but I'm really attuned to reading other people's feelings and moods to the point of getting sympathetic pains from other people's injuries
Most of it is developing hypervigilance from having a volatile parent growing up and not magic Force powers or whatever but it can come in handy
Then again, I can also be socially oblivious and knowing what someone is feeling but having no idea why can be frustrating
I've heard a lot of autistic people have experiences with hyperempathy, and it kind of surprises me that I don't, because I also grew up (and still deal) with a difficult family situation. Yet I still cannot feel peoples' other emotions at all, including my parents' (which has gotten me into a lot of trouble in the past.)
idk how my brain failed to develop that coping mechanism. Brains are just funny.
Difficult family gang
I missed the "how small talk works" development personally
I got up to 98% on the test, I am hyper focued on one thing at a time. I can't really multitask.
Read up on misophonia see if you have anything like that. But generally go through each of your senses and see if anything can be higlighted.
If you wear sunglasses does that help you more than without. Or noise cancelling or ear plugs see if you perform better when you quieten things around you. Taste can be gauged on how picky are you or do you mix sauces with your food or hate it. Do you avoid certain foods because of flavour or texture? Same with smells. if you make a list on thibgs you botice it can reveal quite a bit. Can take a bit because bot everything can be revealed at once.
