yeah it's true that some neurotypicals do, but I'm talking about just calling Normal interests hyperfixations when you don't experience it. because it diminishes the struggle neurodivergents go through !!2 points

Cabi was picking berries again. The tribe was safe, but hers was a pretty boring existence. It wasn't that she didn't like it here, it's just that adventure was more her thing. There was little of that here. Cabi grimaced slightly. Well, Deat provided a bit of excitement. In the bad way. No one really liked him, but he hadn't done anything wrong yet, so they couldn't exactly kick him out. Before Cabi could pick the last berry, she heard commotion. She walked carefully towards it, but realised it was King's and Fess' voices, so she bounded the rest of the way. 'Oh gods! Is it that hard for you to lie down?!' Fess said angrily, but there was worry in her voice. She firmly pressed a paw to King's head, and pushed him down onto a nest that he was standing in. 'I told you, I'm fine!' he said back, but the usual laziness was gone out of his voice. His voice sounded slurred and unclear. Fess ignored him. 'Stay here. I'll find it.' she said determinedly, slowly taking her paw away from King, as if they had done this before and King had tried to get up. 'You can't see, Fess.' King said, a bit more worry in his tone. 'You'll be all alone outside the tribe territory.' 'But I can smell, genius. And I'll be quick.' she reassured him. Cabi decided it was time to offer help. 'Sorry for interrupting, I couldn't help but overhear you guys talking. Maybe I could help you find what you're looking for?' Cabi said with a grin. Both King and Fess looked relieved. 'Yes please. If you could. I am looking for a healing fruit, because this idiot ate who knows what, and now he's sick.' the teasing tone that Fess and King usually had with each other was gone. Fess was obviously very worried for him. 'I'm fine...' King mumbled again, but Fess just arranges the nest he was lying on so he would be comfortable. Fess turned around and set out for outside the territory, with Cabi on her heels. 'When I was still a wanderer I found a healing fruit nearby, follow me!' Cabi smiled. 'I think-' Fess started to say, but cut herself off. She cleared her throat and spoke quickly. 'Of course. Lead the way.' Fess was still obviously unaccustomed to taking orders, instead of giving them, but she was getting better at it. The smell of the fruit interrupted both their thoughts. 'Found it!' Fess smiled and rushed forward. Her smile turned to a frown quickly. 'Do you smell that?' Cabi sniffed the air for a moment, and noticed it too. It was an old scent, but it smelled like.... Deat? What would he be doing here? 'The fruits still here. He must have taken it and it grew back. But why would he want it?' Cabi mused. Fess picked the fruit, and turned to walk back home. 'I don't know. Maybe he was sick. But then again, it's Deat.' Fess shuffled slightly. 'I'm sure he was just sick, but I can't help but be worried.' 'I'm sure it's fine.' Cabi said. They both shook it off by the time they reached home. Fess strode over to King. She gave the fruit to him, and he ate it. 'You look better but you still need some rest. I'll be off!' Cabi smiled. Fess smiled as well, in Cabis direction. 'Thanks Cabi.' Fess said. King muttered his thanks as well before he fell asleep. Fess sarcastically rolled her eyes at him, but she looked happy that he was unhurt. As Cabi walked back to the bush she couldn't help but wonder about Deat. ~ Mira sighed as a Dodomingo, yet again, stole her nest. This was the third time this week. She batted at it, but all it did was make it scream and nest itself further in. 'Having trouble?' a familiar voice said from behind her. Lupo sat down beside her, an easy grin on his face. 'It's not like this happens rarely.' Mira said drily, gesturing at the nest. Lupo tried to chase the dodomingo away as well, but he also failed. 'You can borrow my nest if you like?' he said eventually. Mira smiled at him. She wasn't getting any younger and she decided it was time to tell him. 'Lupo, I was wondering if you could be my mate?' she asked calmly. Lupo's fur almost turned red, but he smiled. 'Sure Mira.' The two of them walked together down to the tree, away from the dodomingo screeching. (ultra sidecharacters get married yay) ~ Cheri breathed in, and out. She had dealt with feeling guilty for the past few days, and decided it was time to talk. She spotted Cane sitting by the ocean, idly picking at grass. 'Hey.' she said. He jumped slightly, but recognised her voice. 'Hey.' he replied dully. He didn't seem angry now. Cheri wanted to say something more, but couldn't hold back. She just wanted to get straight to the point. 'So, about me telling you about your mom, Haran, I didn't mea-' Cane quickly cut her off. 'It's fine. Really. Turns out Lupo knew, but wouldn't tell me and King because he didn't want to ruin any memories we had of her. King was pretty mad, but I guess I understand. I was mad at you at first, but thanks for telling me.' Cane finally looked up at her. He was genuinely sad. Cheri went and sat down beside him. 'You're welcome, but I should have been.... More careful about the way I said it. Sorry.' Cheri said quietly. Cane nodded, looking back out to sea. Cheri continued softly. 'Sometimes creatures we care about can be kind to us, because they love us, and since you love them back, you can't see all the bad things they've done. Life isn't black and white. No one is just bad and just good. Some creatures can be cruel and kind, and depending on the creature you talk to, they could be amazing or they could be disgusting.' 'You're right.' Cane murmured. 'I'm glad I know now at least' Cane gave a weak smile. 'Don't get yourself bogged down. Focus on the now.' Cheri smiled, and Canes smile became more genuine. Cheri got up and stood there for a few moments longer before walking off, leaving Cane so he could think.1 point

hey guys just let you know the word hyperfixation should only be used by neurodivergent people, aka people with adhd and/or autism, etc. as someone with autism and adhd it's really offensive to see neurotypicals using neurodivergent only words. anyways my current one is night in the woods. help.1 point

Sway had noticed something…odd recently. Sway is a bit of a restless sleeper at times so she can have issues staying asleep and therefore is awake at odd times of the night. This means that she’s noticed Quaint’s odd nightly behavior. Sway noticed that when Quaint must think everyone is asleep she sneaks off into the tall grasses at the edge of the group’s home. It’d be fine if Sway hadn’t noticed that she was doing this either every night or every other night recently, so it was weird, Quaint wasn’t known for being secretive. It was making Sway extremely curious, what could she not want anyone to know? Sway had to find out herself or she would be plagued by the thought forever. When Quaint snuck away that night instead of just trying to go back to sleep Sway carefully rose from her ‘nest’, a small patch of the ground decorated with grass and other various soft objects, and cautiously followed Quaint’s scent. Sway was careful of her every movement, just one wrong pawstep could alert Quaint of her presence and that’d be awkward to explain, and it would get her no answers to satisfy her curiosity. It didn’t take long for Quaint to stop moving before looking around, causing Sway to dart onto the shore and crouch down to avoid being spotted. After holding her breathe for what seemed like an eternity Quaint seemed to relax. “Alright, no one is around” Quaint said, confusing Sway before she heard pawsteps which made her ears perk up further to try and figure out what that was. Instead of anything dangerous a smooth voice spoke, the type of tone that projected confidence and calmness. “If no one has followed you yet I don’t see the need for such concern” The voice spoke, and Sway fought the urge to poke her head out and see who was talking. “It’s good to be cautious” Quaint spoke in a tone that suggested she wasn’t exactly thrilled with this other one’s calmness. “So have you told the rest of your group about the news?” The voice asked making Sway’s face scrunch up in confusion, not having heard any news or anything extremely important from Quaint recently. “No, not yet. I will when the time comes” Quaint said making Sway even more lost, and slightly on edge for what this news is, was it dangerous? And who was she talking to? Questions swirled in Sway’s mind, almost making her miss their continued conversation. “The pup might be hurt if you’re not careful though, and that’d be unfortunate” The voice’s words made Sway’s eyes practically shoot open as she heard, her mind racing as she tried to figure out if she heard that right. Quaint is gonna have a pup?! Sway couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t tell the group, it could be unsafe for her to push herself if she’s pregnant! Then she realized they were quite absorbed in their conversation and carefully poked her head out from its hiding spot and tried to get a peek at the nicheling Quaint was speaking to. She was relieved to see they were chatting too much to notice her presence, or perhaps it was due to the darkness of night. The nicheling seemed to be yellow with orange stripes, they also had antlers sitting on their head along with razor sharp claws on their right paw. Sway quickly put her head back into hiding as she processed everything. She decided now would be a good time to leave, the longer she stayed the more she risked getting caught. She carefully made her way back the way she came, making sure her paws were perfectly placed to ensure a quiet getaway. After getting back she curled up on her nest and looked at the stars above, pondering on what to do now. Should she tell the other group members? Or would that make Quaint hate her for telling something that was obviously a secret? Deciding it was too late to think about such big choices Sway laid her head down and tried to drift off again. Sway’s mind stayed stuck on what she’d found out a few days ago, it felt like a weight had been placed on her shoulders by learning about it and it was started to take a toll on her. The other group nichelings had been quite busy recently, Quaint said they should try to expand their home so they’d have more room, which Sway couldn’t help but wonder if it was actually because of the pup that was secretly on the way. “What’re you thinking about?” A voice startled Sway out of her thoughts and caused her to whip her head towards the sound. She was a bit startled as she noticed it was Soar, she forgot that was today. By now Soar had been helping the group for a bit now, nothing extremely eventful had come from his patrols but it was helpful nonetheless. Sway looked at him silently, contemplating on whether to tell him or not. If she told him she wouldn’t be telling the group, but would Quaint hate the fact she told someone outside the group even more? Soar didn’t push, he simply watched her think as he didn’t want to pry. “Can we go on a patrol together? A walking one” Sway specified as she didn’t want to talk about it in the middle of the group’s home, even if no one else was around at the moment. Soar slightly squinted his eyes in a confused manner but eventually gave Sway a decisive nod. “Sure, lead the way” Soar spoke, wondering what exactly this was about and why she didn’t want to speak about it here. Sway exhaled with relief before leading him away from the heart of the group’s territory and into the grasses. “So…” Soar simply stated after they had stopped in a small clearing away from the group’s home. Sway was silent for a few minutes as she gathered her thoughts enough to form some decent sentences. “I found out something a few days ago and wanted to talk to someone about it” Sway started as she shifted from paw to paw in a nervous manner, trying to breach the subject of what she’d found. “Oh, why not talk to a member of your group about it?” Soar asked, confused as to why she’d talk to an outsider, as he considered himself, about what she had found. Sway let out a slightly frusterated groan as she swayed back and forth on her paws a bit faster as a way to air out her annoyance with this whole situation. “I can’t! Or well maybe I could but I don’t know if that’d be worse or better or even if keeping quiet is a bad idea or a good one” Sway’s voice had a slightly harsh edge to it but it wasn’t directed at Soar, it was at herself for being unable to decide what the best course of action was. Her curiosity was satiated but at what cost? Soar’s face turned into one of concern as he listened to Sway, wonder what exactly could cause such a reaction from Sway, who had been nothing but excitable and sweet until this point. He reached one of his wings up and awkwardly settled it on one of her shoulders as an attempt to soothe her worried a little bit. “Bottling things up isn’t a good idea but I don’t know what you’re talking about so do what you feel is right” Soar tried to give some comforting words but they were a bit unsure as he was still missing many of the puzzle pieces himself. Sway firmly planted her paws on the ground, stopping her swaying motions, and took a deep breathe. “Well I found out that Quaint is going to have a pup and she was talking to this unknown nicheling” Sway forced the words out, wanting to not overthink her choice any longer. Soar blinked a few times, shocked, before taking his wing back and settling it on the ground to digest the information he’d just been given. “I’m guessing the pup’s other parent?” Soar asked as he sat down while looking at Sway, who sighed before giving a shrug. “I don’t know, I left quickly after learning about the future pup because they didn’t know I was there” Sway said making Soar slightly tilt his head. “Were you eavesdropping on them?” Soar asked to clarify, wondering why she would be eavesdropping in the first place. Sway winced at the phrasing but couldn’t exactly deny the accusation. “I suppose I was, but it was because Quaint had been sneaking away at night and I was concerned that she was keeping this a secret from the rest of the group” Sway quickly tried to explain, wondering if Soar would tell Quaint about this whole thing and the fact she’d secretly been listening to her and that other nicheling’s conversation. “I guess that would be pretty concerning, don’t worry I’m not gonna tell Quaint” Soar said making Sway relieved, and wonder how he’d known what she was thinking. Sway’s shoulders slumped with relief at his words, not knowing how she’d try to explain away that one. The rest of the patrol was uneventful and filled with more pleasant chatter. Sway felt she had grown closer to Soar from that conversation at least. After that patrol, and his usual air patrol, Soar was strolling along the shore to relax for a little bit before flying back to his home. As he strolled along he noticed a familiar yellow nicheling sitting at the edge of the shore. “Hello Show” Soar greeted, making Show’s attention turn from the waves in front of him over to the bat-winged nicheling instead. Show gave Soar a grin as he waved a paw in greeting before speaking his own. “Heya Soar, how was the patrol today?” Show asked as Soar approached him by his spot on the sand. Soar didn’t have to think about his answer much as he took a seat a comfortable distance from the fanged nicheling. “Same as usual, nothing exciting or threatening” Soar replied as he felt the sand slightly sink under his paws and wings. Show gave a friendly nod at the bat-winged nicheling’s reply. “That’s good right? That means no aggressive creatures are coming to try and kill us” Show idly said as his attention was once again caught by the tide as a wave came close enough to almost touch his paws. Soar simply gave him a polite nod and turned towards the sea himself, not expecting there to be anymore conversation. … “Do you have a group yourself?” Show’s question slightly startled Soar but he answered quickly and without hesitation. “Nope, just me myself and I” Soar said as he kept his gaze towards the waves, not exactly enjoying that conversation topic but not wanting to come off as rude. Show noticed his slight tone of discomfort and spared him of answering any further. “Alright” Show simply spoke as he didn’t want to make Soar uncomfortable, turning his attention back towards the sea as well, pushing away any curiosity that may have tried to get his attention. The two nichelings spent some time watching the shore until Soar decided to make his way back home after exchanging some goodbyes.1 point
