Just a Cryptid Who Stims

Important: I am profiction/proship, an intersectional feminist, a trans queer bi man and in my 30s. If any of that is an issue I am not the stim blog to follow.

👽 I am a visual person (and have autism and other learning difficulties) and struggle with more abstract or vague ideas, I really appreciate suggestions of specific imagery/stims/clear ideas of what you want in your board, thank you!  👽

Things I will not do stimboards for/include in stimboards:

👻 My gifs are free to use with credit! Please at least credit the original video source if you decide I’m evil, they deserve having their work appreciated.

Aww thank you, I hope you're having a lovely weekend and taking care of yourself!

🍂 That November Feel Stimboard

x x x / x x x / x x x

[Image id: A 9 gif stimboard using imagery representing the month of November. Line one is a gif of someone stroking an autumn leaf on a tree, a gif of someone tugging their scarf closer to keep warm and a gif of hanging Halloween decorations blowing in the wind. Line two is a gif of someone stirring cream into a teacup of hot chocolate, a gif of a time-lapse of a jack o lantern rotting into a pile of leaves and a gif of someone's shoes as they walk over autumn leaves. Line three is a gif of a rotting pumpkin and fake spiderwebs decorations blowing in the wind, a gif of autumn leaves on the ground in the rain, and a gif of hot chocolate being poured into a cup.]

thank you so much, this was so sweet, I hope you have a good day too!

I am establishing a boundary here: if you spam me with messages (more than 2 in a row) trying to inform me about a subject over and over again I will block you. Please, you can send me a message/an ask about a subject and then send one with something like "I can give you more info if you want" and wait to be invited or declined.

I am not a machine, I am a guy with learning disabilities that make it difficult for me to process a lot of information at once. I am trying my best to make my boards more accessible but I have limits and I cannot possibly anticipate everything that could be an issue. I am very sorry for that, I am only human.

I am sorry to the Anon who I just blocked, but I did say I found the repeated messages stressful and would block you if you did not stop.

Sorry for being so grouchy to you, things have been a little rough today but that certainly wasn't your fault.

I get that (the anxiety thing, thank you for explaining). Lack of good tagging is definitely an issue in stim content on Tumblr (even I struggle in the stim tags because of my own eyestrain and sensitivity to motion and light) so I think it's good to give people advice on the things they can tag. Thank you for trying to help me with that and I will try to tag more things when I make stimboards in future so people can filter and feel more safe.

I think I've found and tagged the right one!

(And I agree with your other suggestions; I tend to tag both 'sparkling' and 'flashing' for lights reflecting on water and I try to tag 'fast gif' or 'jerky motion' for gifs that are fast or have jarring motion. I probably miss some but I'm always okay with people asking specific stimboards or gif sets to be tagged :3 )

To the sweet Anons in my inbox, thank you for the info about epilepsy and tagging, I generally use 'eyestrain' and 'flashing' but as I don't have epilepsy myself I just hope I'm tagging the right things! (I am very sensitive to flashing lights and certain sounds+movement and will get dizzy, sick or even faint at certain ones though, so there are just some things I wouldn't even try to gif lol).

I'm not currently active sadly (I kinda burnt myself out a lot) but hopefully one day I can be active again! Hope you are all doing well and looking after yourselves!

Blackberries & Honeybees 🐝🍃

[Image description:

A 9 gif stimboard showing different close-up views of a hedgerow made up of blackberry bushes. The blackberries are in different stages of ripening; some still unripe green, others turning red and some are fully-ripe and dark purple. Leaves and stems of the bushes wave in the wind and shadows move across the leaves and berries. Some gifs also show the stems with white flowers and honeybees and bumblebees collecting pollen and flying to different flowers.

[Image description: 2 gifs, from left to right;

First gif shows a section of a river with grass and shrubbery on each side of the river, and trees on the far side. The sky is blue with large white and grey clouds. The river is blue and the water sparkles as it reflects the sunlight.

Second gif shows another section of the river at a different time of the day. There are trees, grass and shrubbery on the river sides. The sky is grey and clouded over, and the grey water sparkles in the sunlight.

Oh! I think it's a tie between jiggly-puff and haunter? They've been my favourite since I was a little kid!

(now I want to know your favs anon!! 👀)

Stimboard requests will be closed for a bit, as things irl are a bit chaotic. Sorry everyone, and I hope your Friday is going okay! ^v^

[Image description: 2 gifs, from left to right;

The first gif is a night timelapse of a telephone box on a mountain in Wales. The telephone box is lit up and behind is a tall telephone pole silhoutetted against a starry sky, stars shooting across and seeming to rotate as the night goes on.

The second gif is a night timelapse of Llechwedd mawr (a stone cottage in Wales). The cottage windows are lit up with a yellow glow and the sky of stars seems to rotate behind as the night goes on.
