DRiP Presents: Intro (Hood Assassins) by AutismhoodMedia

The Hood Assassins In the shadowed corners of a sprawling metropolis, where skyscrapers loomed like silent guardians and the glow of neon lights spilled into dark alleys, a group of unseen protectors patrolled the streets. They were known only as The Hood Assassins — a clan of elite ninjas whose strength lay not only in their agility, precision, and combat skills but in the unique way they experienced and processed the world. Each member was autistic, their minds wired with a sharpness and clarity that made them a formidable force, yet often unseen and underestimated by their enemies. The origins of the Hood Assassins were steeped in secrecy. Founded decades ago by a wandering sensei who believed the world overlooked its most brilliant warriors, the clan sought out individuals who thought, felt, and moved differently. These ninjas trained not just in martial arts and stealth, but in learning how to use their neurodivergent strengths to their advantage. Hyperfocus became an unstoppable drive for precision. Sensory sensitivity sharpened their awareness of their surroundings. Patterns that others missed became obvious pathways to success. Leading this modern-day band of shadow warriors was Kai, a strategist whose love of routine and meticulous planning made their operations flawless. His mind mapped out every scenario, every angle, ensuring the team was always three steps ahead. Then there was Ember, whose enhanced sensory perception could detect the faintest footfall or whisper, a human radar whose intuition guided the group through danger. Ryo, an expert in technology and gadgets, relied on his ability to hyperfocus and create ingenious devices that left their adversaries bewildered.

The haunted house

Every year, on Halloween night, an eerie transformation grips the old Bradbury house. Hidden deep within a twisted forest, the house was always abandoned, covered in creeping vines, and decaying wood—until October 31st. As the clock strikes midnight, the house awakens. Vines slither across the ground like snakes, entwining themselves around the dead trees, drawing them closer. The structure groans as its windows flicker to life, glowing a sinister green. The once lifeless doors creak open, re...

DRiP Presents: Dudley and the Halloween mirror by AutismhoodMedia

Dudley and the Halloween Mirror It was Halloween night, and Dudley was dressed as his favorite character—a little boy with a blue beanie and big round glasses. He had been looking forward to this day for weeks, planning every detail. His neighborhood was buzzing with excitement, pumpkins glowing on every doorstep, and children laughing as they ran from house to house. But Dudley felt something was different this year. As he walked through the neighborhood, he found a mysterious mirror standing in the middle of the park. The moonlight bounced off its surface, making it shine like magic. Curious, Dudley stepped closer. He loved mirrors because they helped him understand his expressions better, something that was sometimes tricky for him. But this mirror wasn’t like the others—it showed two Dudleys! On the left side of the mirror, there was the Dudley he knew: smiling, wearing his blue hat, and holding a candy bag. On the right side, though, was a different Dudley. This one had neon green eyes, glowing like fireflies, and a skeleton costume that shimmered with wild, swirling colors. He looked a little spooky but still had a smile on his face. “Who are you?” Dudley asked, tilting his head. “I’m your dark side!” the other Dudley answered with a giggle. “But don’t worry—I’m fun too! Just different.” Dudley stared at the other side of the mirror. He had heard people talk about having different sides, but he never quite understood what that meant. Sometimes Dudley felt different from the other kids. Sometimes noises were too loud, lights too bright, and he needed time alone to recharge. But he never thought of those feelings as a “dark side.” “Are you…bad?” Dudley asked quietly. The dark-side Dudley shook his head, the glowing neon colors swirling around him like a rainbow. “Nope, just different! You see things in a unique way, and that makes you special. We both do!” The idea made Dudley smile. He had always liked thinking about things differently, noticing details other people might miss, like the exact pattern on a butterfly’s wings or how the wind made different sounds depending on the time of day. Maybe his “dark side” was just another way of looking at the world. “Wanna go trick-or-treating together?” asked dark-side Dudley, holding out his hand. “I think we could have double the fun!” Dudley hesitated for a moment, then grinned and reached out. As soon as their hands touched, the mirror shimmered and both Dudleys stepped through, now one again, but with a little more sparkle. Dudley felt a surge of confidence. His dark side wasn’t something to be afraid of—it was part of what made him Dudley!

Joking with anxiety | MakersPlace

by Jason McCarver. "Joking with Anxiety" is a vivid encapsulation of my internal world, a visual representation of the tumultuous dance between my anxiety and the facade of cheerfulness I often present. The striking colors that flood the canvas are the emotions I feel intensely, each hue a note in the cacophony of my daily existence. The fragmented, almost cubist distortion of my features reveals the dissonance I experience, my outward appearance disjointed from my inner turmoil. The eyes are the focal point, one clear and piercing, holding the weight of reality, while the other, clouded and dreamlike, reflects the confusion and chaos …
