Cody’s Carrd

"And oh, this too shall pass, as loneliness won’t last for long…" -Gale Song

Hey, I’m Cody! I’m an autistic, hyperlexic lover of most things cartoon, weird, gloomy and educational. I’d love to get to know you better.Still in an OCD flare-up but at least I’m medicatedMy Interests:

• Onward!

"I don’t know why I just can’t let it go; memory’s old but I just can’t let it go…" -In the Light

Before you interact:I have intrusive thoughts that can lead to rumination and distress. I may have flare-ups in which I am dry, distant or uninterested. Please do not take it personally, I’m just working through things.Though I am autistic, I do not require nor ask for tone tags.I am comfortable with “Kill yourself/Die” jokes and will make them. If you are not, inform me and I will stop.Sometimes I have episodes of paranoia or general panic. I may seem closed off, unsure or inflammatory during these times. If I seem off, you are always free to make sure I am okay/interact in general, but please be patient.I’m completely okay with joke flirting, sex jokes, (IF WE ARE THE SAME AGE) and dark humor. I tend to make these jokes amongst my friends. I do make a point of ensuring people are okay with them beforehand, so if you aren’t okay with them, I won’t make them. Just inform me.I do not judge those who need help, ever. I do not judge people for their thoughts, their fears, their worries, or anything else. I am a safe space to express even the most stigmatized of disorders. As long as you are willing to be helped, you deserve to be.

My Friends:

Bo, I have to warn you of something tragic. You see, Duncan… he’s… he’s abusing a deer. I know, I know. It’s awful. But you can fix him, I believe in you.It’s been seven months. Officially. You’re simply wonderful, and every conversation we have no matter how short is very entertaining, so thanks for being the least boring person ever. I’m glad our friendship began with the blessings that are Squangel Dward and mister Cralastor. Truly, works of art in their own. Thank you for being patient with me when I was at my worst, for never judging me, and for always listening to my extensive rants about the Zelda series. I will rope you in. And that day will be glorious. It’s gonna happen.You always engage with my interests- no matter how silly it may be to hop on call just to read a book together- and I hope I can adequately return that favor by providing you the same. TALK MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU LIKE!You make me feel comfortable talking about mental health and sharing struggles, and you’ve never judged me for my past or my trauma, even when I think it’s silly. I know you’d fight tooth and nail to protect me from the people who hurt me, and I’ve never felt that kind of loyalty before. It means the world to me. I’m lucky to have someone like you, and even if I don’t show it often, I’m grateful you’re here. Thank you, sunshine. May there be many more months to come.Hope you survive the baby. Godspeed.

Amena! Our meeting was a funny twist of fate. I should say, all of our meetings were. And all because I decided to wear my Noah shirt to class one day.Regardless of how amusing it was, I still consider it a wonderful occurrence. I’m happy to have found you, and to watch the cat TikToks you come across every day. I promise it isn’t annoying. I’m glad you want to share things with me.I’m sorry I thought you cheated IN MY DEFENSE YOU SAID YOU WOULD COPY OFF OF ME!

Kevin… What can I say except that I’m gonna getcha?Kidding, of course. Our friendship is so silly and I love that it’s being kept alive by randomly finding each other in TRD servers and going alpha mode. When I first saw your carrd I was like, “Whoa, he likes all the stuff I like.” Which was awesome because that’s pretty rare. You’re cool, you like cool things, and you make cool art. I hope to play TRD again with you very soon, hopefully when I least expect it 🦔🦔🦔

Hey ho! It feels like we’re brand-new friends, but I’m reminded every day of our Splatoon origins. We will pretend the fallout did not happen because it didn’t! Considering our friendship began on a game as absolutely infuriating as pressure I’m shocked we’re still sane, but here we are, continuing to play further irritating games. I never thought I’d meet another southern… we’re like soul siblings from the hooting-hollerin’ gunslinging states who hype up each other’s accents until it’s an unbearable veritable whirlwind of eagle caws. AMERICA!!Even though we just re-sparked our friendship I feel like we’re already super close- and I feel secure being your friend with your lack of judgement and total understanding. The videos you send me are so sweet and even though I’m not very good at replying, just know I appreciate them every day and feel the same. If you need to talk I’m always around to listen to you and give you a second opinion, and there is nothing you can say to dissuade me from that. No TMI here!Lets hope splatoon doesn’t make us marginally worse people than we already are but lord knows the effects of that game are a pox upon our souls and we will inevitably be the sweats we’ve come to hate.She diddle on my squiddle till I widdle.
