The Bad Batch season 3 has been interesting thus far. I really liked episodes 1-7 and I've nothing particularly bad to say about any of those episodes. But honestly episode 8, and after today, episode 9, it's once again gotten to be a bit of a pain to get through. Maybe I'm just too much of a Crosshair guy, idk. Today's episode especially irked me but last time I discussed the topics it delves into I got some pissy people in my notes and I'd rather avoid that this time around.
do you ever see such a blatantly incorrect and downright stupid + insulting reading of your favorite character that you want to snarl like an angry cat
i swear to g-d im& not even the jealous type but jfc i HAAAAAAATE this feeling when im& just lowkey like. who's :)))))) this :))))) bitch 👀👀👀👀🔪🔪🔪🔪 :))))))
“what to tell a doctor to get an autism diagnosis” “here’s what i learned from realizing i was autistic at 40″ “i would never want a professional diagnosis” “person first language is so regressive” “autism symptoms are only a problem because of ableism” “we dont need treatment” “no autistic person wants a cure” “four doctors told me i couldn’t be autistic so i found a fifth” “autism is an invisible disability” “dont disclose your neurodivergency to employers” “i/dd and autism have nothing to do with each other” “nt parents/advocates have no place in autism communities” “of course im autistic have you heard me talk about horror movies” babe i have nothing in common with any of you
💕 What's your favorite thing about FFVII or surrounding games?
i think cloud is so funny. i really need to play ffvii fully one of these days (perhaps the remake when its done) and i'm not entirely sure the pace or extent to which they reveal this in main game, but going into crisis core with my only knowledge of cloud being "he's the really special cool protagonist guy who has like a soul bond with sephiroth and Has To Defeat Him as like a metaphor for personal demons or like the horrors of what capitalism can create or something" and then finding out he's literally just some guy with every mental illness ever. instantly he became one of my favorite protagonists of anything ever. they really did that! AND he's a drug addict <3
so i went to a NHL game and i had a really good time!! however i did cry when we first got inside because there was loud live music and also issues with our tickets so i immediately got overwhelmed ✌️ but once we were away from the noise and found our seats i was chillin
then we scored our first goal and the sudden loud noise of the speakers and the crowd was a lot for me. and the people behind us spilled their drinks and ice on us and i was just sitting in my seat plugging my ears fucking sobbing. and the guy that spilled his drink on me put his hand on my shoulder trying to apologize but then that just triggered my ptsd so i started shaking and crying harder. he gave me the t shirt he got from the dudes that throw shirts at the crowd, so that was really really nice
and anyways after that i was fine because i could anticipate the goals and also they never spilled on us again. so i only cried twice and honestly? sometimes you just gotta cry it out
like whatever wires i have crossed (autism + whatever else) that makes me react to noise like this has been with me my whole life. and the ptsd has been with me for a few years. and sometimes the best possible case scenario involves dealing with all that and crying about it and like. I'm just gonna have to accept that. I'm autistic and mentally ill and sometimes that's going to interfere with my life but if I'm around the right people and have access to the things I need to calm down I'll be okay. so maybe a neurotypical person would be like "yeah I cried twice I had an awful time" but for me the standards are different so I can confidently say I cried twice and had a blast.
The Velocity AU is about the process of grief. Its about trauma. Its about finding yourself. Its about identity. Its about how the circumstances of one’s birth are irrelevant and you make your own destiny. Its something that can be so personal. Its about learning to better yourself. Its about found family and the healing process when you confide in others. Its a tragedy. Its a hopeful story. Its about finding the light in a world of darkness and despair. Its about interpersonal relationships. Its about gay divorce. Its about nature vs. nurture. Its about making your own purpose in the world. Its about choosing who you want to be. Its about fighting god. Its about acceptance. Mostly its about me playing barbie dolls with the sonic lore and making my ocs hit eachother with sticks
A/N: Thanks to the lovely anon who requested this! This is a list I’ve actually wanted to write for
a while, but I’d been slightly nervous/unsure about it. But as someone who’s also on the
spectrum, I know how much comfort similar posts from other blogs have brought me! I also tried to keep this one a bit lighter, since someone
asked for a separate list about meltdowns/shutdowns, but if there’s any specific reactions/hcs
like this that you guys want, let me know! (Please note that these are based off my own knowledge/experience, so I’m sorry if they don’t fit
for everyone)
Masterlist
°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•
Jin:
I feel like he’d be slightly confused and worried at first because he’s not sure what to
do/how to help you, but once you explain a bit more, he gets a lot more comfortable, and
really is such a good caregiver when he needs to be.
Catches onto your different stims pretty quickly and what each one means.
Like, y’all have whole conversations solely through funny little hums and stim noises.
Really good at reading and matching your mood/energy. You wanna talk about the
Mayans nonstop for two hours? Cool! You want to just sit silently and do nothing? Also
cool!
He’s really good at normalizing your symptoms and making them seem like nbd(because
to him, they aren’t) Food sensitivities? He’s got them too! You hate loud noises and
crowds? Same Honey, let’s get the fuck outta here! He knows they’re not quite the same
thing, of course, but if it makes you feel more comfortable and safe being your true,
unmasked self with him, then that’s all that matters to him.
Really good at calming you down when you feel overwhelmed or on the verge of
meltdown.
Does his absolute best to bring your mood up whenever you’re struggling or feeling
really down, pulling out his best dad jokes(even if they don’t make sense to you),
bringing your favorite snacks, etc.
Yoongi:
I think he would handle it really well. Does his research after you tell him, and asks you
about it casually during dates/hangouts.
So fucking respectful of your boundries. If you prefer to have your own space, he’s totally
fine letting you do your own thing. If you need more closeness and cuddles, he’s all over
that too, letting you sit right next to him while he works.
Not only lets you rant about your special interests, but makes the effort to take interest in
them and asks questions. Randomly buys you little things related to them.
He’s so calming and soothing when you’re feeling stressed or overstimulated,
understanding whenever you randomly need rest or quiet time(stress nap buddies)
Keeps things like extra sunglasses and headphones in his bag for you, just in case you
forget yours.
Would have a lot of fun if you have audio stims, letting you listen to his new songs
because your reactions and enthusiasm are so cute to him. Makes you panning audios as gifts.
Always there to look out for you whenever executive dysfunction decides to kick your
ass. Washes the dishes, doing the laundry, restocking your safe foods, etc. He would
also be really good at body doubling.
Hobi:
I honestly think he would be really good with an S/O on the spectrum. Like, he literally
designed Mang, who is soo ND coded like omg😭, so I think he would be able to
understand you really well.
(if you haven’t seen the videos of him talking about Mang’s personality and character
traits during the re-design process last year, pls go watch them, I almost cried)
Loves buying you new fidgets and stim toys whenever he finds new ones to try(he even
has a collection of chewlery that he wears bc he thinks they’re neat).
Is really good reading you and distracting you when you start to get overstimulated or
anxious, sometimes noticing before you do.
Lowkey protective over you in spaces and situations he knows are stressful for you,
positioning himself next to you whenever he spots things he knows bother you.
You know how Yoongi described him as a vitamin? That’s how it is for you now too.💛
He’s so stimmy himself, so he would find a lot of your stims really relatable and
endearing. Like, if you start happy stimming, he can’t help but join right in, bouncing or
squealing with you. It makes him so happy that you feel comfortable enough with him to
share those parts of yourself with him.
Namjoon:
Instantly super supportive when you told him, making an effort to research on his own,
as well as listening to your personal experiences to understand as much as possible.
Happily sits and lets you info-dump about your special interests. He honestly loves
seeing you so passionate and animated about whatever you’re talking about and loves
getting a glimpse into how your mind works(it was probably during one of these
moments that he realized he was in love with you)
Surprisingly good pebbler, he’s always finding cool rocks or shells for your collections.
Doesn’t mind speaking for you on days when you’re nonverbal.
The sweetest when you’re feeling overstimulated. He closes all the curtains to make it
dark and cozy and sits with you, talking as softly as needed or not talking at all, tapping
your hand gently now and then to let you know he’s still there.
Soo protective over you, almost to a fault at times. Like, you might have to scold him
once or twice about babying you, but he really doesn’t mean to, he just wants to make
sure you’re safe and happy.
The world feels a lot less scary tho with him next you. You know if you need anything,
he’s got your back.
Jimin:
The softest boi🥺 He was honestly a little scared when you first told him, because he didn’t
want to do anything wrong and was worried he wouldn’t be ‘good’ at looking after you,
but he quickly relaxed and grew more confident as he learned more from you.
The best comforter when you’re feeling overwhelmed or depressed, full of quiet
reassurances and long hugs(if you’re okay with those). He’ll gladly cuddle with you under
your weighted blanket for however long you need to feel better.
Literally set up a little “nest” for you at his place with a like beanbag chair and your
favorite types of blankets/pillows, so you have your own place to just ‘be’ and recoup
when you need it.
Carries fidget toys and sensory aids like sunglasses and headphones with him at all
times, just in case you need them.
Really good at communicating with you on days when you’re nonverbal, whether through
texts or little notes(which he always adds little doodles on to make your smile😊)
Makes sure you never feel guilty or like a burden to him for letting him in on those
tougher days. If anything, they make him love you even more because of the trust you
have in him.
It really makes him feel so proud and happy inside that you find so much comfort in his
presence and that he gets to take care of you.💜
Taehyung:
Another that I think would be particularly good with a neurodivergent S/O. Like,
everyone jokes about how he’s weird, so I think he’d love that you’re both your kind of
own unique kinds of ‘weird’.
Happily rewatches your favorite comfort shows/films with you, and speaks in fluent film
quotes with you.
Loves when you fidget and stim with his hands or fingers.
If you like pressure stims, he’s a dream come true. Like, the man’s a living weighted
blanket, so when you basically give him a doctor's note for cuddles? He’s never gonna
let you go.
As relaxed as he might come across sometimes tho, he’s super observant of your stims
and triggers and takes it so seriously whenever you start feeling overwhelmed or
stressed.
It doesn’t matter where you are or what you’re doing, if you need a break, he’s getting
you to a quiet place where you can sit and just recalibrate.
Rivals Jin and Yoongi for top spot in the acts of service department on your bad days,
making sure you eat properly, doing any household chores that need done. He even
learned how to wash your weighted blanket so you don’t have to.
Jungkook:
Was definitely a little lost and overwhelmed when you first explained everything to him,
but he really takes it in stride and tries to learn as much as possible to help make things
easier for you where he can.
The King of comfort squeezes. Like you’ve seen his arms, he gives the best hugs, I just
know it(especially on those “the weighted blanket isn't enough, I need a hydraulic press”
days)
Loves learning about your special interests. Like, It’s no longer just your special interest,
it’s our special interest. He’s even studying and finding things for it on his own to surprise
you with.
Honestly plays with some of your fidget toys more than you do, lol! You might even end
up giving him a few of his favorites😊
Gets super happy and smiley whenever you get echolalia of his songs.
Another member of the protective squad, ain’t no bad stimuli getting to his baby if he can
help it!
The gentlest with you when you're overstimulated or having a tough day. Anything you
need, he’ll do without question. All he cares about is making sure that you feel safe and
comfortable🥺
Scollace (comic specifically) headcanon things bc i can
Oh kinda implied nsft in like onw sentence by the way lol
★ Scott is incredibly clingy. This mans love language is physical touch and it is VERY apparent. He cannot go two seconds without touching Wallace in some little way. Whether it be full on cuddling or just having their shoulders kinda touch, it is absolutely REQUIRED or Scott will literally die (no he won't he's just dramatic.)
★ Wallace is not that clingy. In fact, he doesn't even really like being touched. Of course, he's willing to hold his boyfriend while watching a movie, or sleeping, or whenever scott wants, but he doesn't need it the way scott does.
✦ Wallace is actually a huge fuckin' lier. He absolutely adores scotts clingyness, and will literally initiate the physical affection if scott doesn't. The second Scott gets home, Wallace wraps his arms around his boyfriend's waist, kisses his forehead, and asks how his day was.
★ Wallace likes listening to music or podcasts while he cooks and cleans, and if he's not really in the mood for any of his usuals, he'll just ask Scott a question about some niche Nintendo fact, and scott will instantly start info-dumping. Wallace genuinely doesn't understand how his autistic ass boyfriend manages to always have new facts, but its convenient and adorable so yknow
★ Scott literally BEGGED on his hands and knees (in both connotations...) for Wallace to not tell Stacy until Scott decided to. Of course, Wallace entirely ignored this.
✦ Well at least Wallace claims to have ignored it. Really, he just got a little too gay while talking to Stacy and accidentally let it slip.
★ When they got together, wallace let up on the drinking a lot. Not because Scott said anything, but because he just didn't feel the need to go out drinking anymore. Before they started dating, most of Wallace's free time was spent hanging out with friends, while the other bit was spent with random dudes. Once he stopped being able to have those casual relationships, he just kinda didn't need to go to bars and clubs.
(Yo! So i posted this, like, months ago, but since then ive learned how to use a ✨comma✨ so i slammed those little guys where they needed to be. Hopefully my faggotry is now comprehensible lol)
So i hc Luigi as autistic and me and @kaihoney just talked about smth and i need to share it with tumblr + expand on it a bit
So Luigi definetly has a huge collection of Rubiks Cubes. And when he moves in with Bowser he has like 2 huge ass boxes filled with nothing but cubes. Bowser is suprised and confused, maybe a bit concerned. Now, i also think the Mario World doesnt have the same medical terms we have to a certain extend so Bowser might not be familiar with the term "autism". So the conversation would maybe go something like this:
Bowser: why do you have so many... Colorful cubes?
Luigi: hm? Oh! They're Rubiks cubes and i like collecting them! Mario jokingly says it's because i'm acoustic.
Bowser, even more concerned: 'acoustic'...? Like a guitar?
Luigi, chuckling nervously: ah, no! I'm autistic and because the words sound similar people joke around, calling it 'acoustic'.
Bowser: what's 'autistic'??
Luigi: easily explained, funky neurons. My brain is connected in weird ways that most people's brains arent.
At this point Bowser is beyond confused and Luigi gives him a rundown of what autism is, essentially also using the oppertunity to explain how it affects him personally, assuming it's important since they live together now and it would be bad if he had a breakdown every two days. Funnily enough Bowser understands immediately, pointing out other people they know who fit Luigis description of autism, either saying how it's called in the mushroom kingdom/darklands etc or going "that has a name where you come from?" in the latter scenario Luigi would sort of akwardly explain how in his world it's some sort of mental disability, that you have to go to a therapist to get it diagnosed etc. This is news to Bowser bc i imagine that world being way more accepting to stuff like that in general (stinkers are everywhere but like you get the point).
WIBTA if I told my dad's girlfriend about his Tinder? He doesn't use it when they're dating, only when they argue.
i (21 NB, closeted as F) currently live alone with my dad (57 M) while I study in college. My dad has been dating this person (52 F) for about 10 years. They met through work and started dating when I was around 12. They say they get along well, but they argue often, and have broken up multiple times in the past. They do not live together because her family dislikes my dad, including his girlfriend's children (20 and 15 year olds). I also have a bad relationship with him. He does provide good quality food, supplies, and shelter, and does favors (according to him) like cooking or not nagging me for staying up late to study.
The reasons I don't like him is because we share next to no political opinions, he constantly engages in toxic behavior such as harassing people over tiktok where he spends most of his free time, and holds really misogynistic opinions, such as that women should not talk to men unless they intend to engage sexually or romantically with them. He is also very racist (which is bad bc part of my family is indigenous!!) homophobic (i am closeted to him, he doesnt even know i had a girlfriend while my mother does), transphobic, and ableist (he has joked about doing harm or killing autistic children I worked with, has called my half-sibling with an ID a black sheep "jokingly", and i suspect i am autistic myself, to top it off).... These all probably sound like valid reasons to hate him. I just state them to be clear that I do have a negative bias. The only reason I don't rebel is because I want to study without many disturbances and,. He is just a pain in the ass and stressful to be around, but not actively harmful. He also denies every claim I make about him when I do call him out, so i have to confirm with my brother or bystanders to know I'm not making these things up)
Ok so. facts: Every time he breaks up with his girlfriend, he vents it all to me while they stay apart for a few weeks because he doesn't have other people to vent to. So, whenever they break up, he installs Tinder, matches with random women (he does not look at their profiles and just accept everything until a match happens), then shows me their photos to make fun of them. He usually does nothing serious about those relationships, except the one time he held a long distance relationship with a woman in a different country for a few months in 2018 and he expected me to advise him on that while the original girlfriend was making efforts for them to get back together.
I have talked to the girlfriend about my own problems with him and she validates them too. She is a sweet woman, but really non-confrontational. She insists that the two of them get along well, that he does respect her and love her a lot when they're together and she does want to be with him long term, but struggles because her children and family really don't like my dad and avoid him when he visits. I really do not think she deserves such a prick and if she doesn't know he uses dating apps when they break up then... I think she should know, so she can choose what to do about him.
I really DO wanna tell her, but I am afraid of the consequences for her and me for snitching, and while I dislike my dad for well established reasons, I do still need to rely on him, which is why i don't intend to give this info away. I guess more than anything I just want validation in disliking him and whether making this move would be too far. I'm willing to wait until graduating next year to pull it off from a safer distance.
Hannibal Lecter canonical fursona is this fucking ass ugly cat — A Ted Talk;
hi guys welcome to my ted talk, today we're going to talk about the Cats & Dogs franchise, which is obviously inspired by the Hannibal films... for some reason.
I could write about how the film's plots are similar, or about references and metaphors but I'll do much better and just compare Mister Tinkles with Hannibal Lecter, bc i think that we as a community need to talk about how the fandom ALWAYS draw Hannibal as a elegant sphynx when he is obviously this devil-looking creature
• Similarities;
1 - He lives in a fucking gothic vitorian castle and belongs to a rich dead guy name MASON??? Like, Mason Verger???😭😭
2 - He's a dramatic bitch like he's trying to dominate the world and murder a entire family just because he doesn't like dogs??? HE DOESNT EVEN LIVE WITH ONE😭 he was just feeling silly 😜 and also crime reunions on fancy dinners parties like u are fooling no one we know what u are
3 - Hes has a autistic crime partner look at this cat i swear to god — THEY LISTENING RADIO ABOVE MASON DEAD BODY LIKE😭😭😭😭 they are manhunter coded
4 - Hannigram cat toxic yaoi angst mizumono ending 💔💔💔 I've been laughing at this scene for hours now help
5 - this whole scene of him being interrogated by “Catherine” Starling and psychologically bullying the other dogs everything here is self explanatory
6 - As someone who has a fat furry white cat, this fucking type of cat are fugitive criminals it is their nature, my cat once set fire to my neighbor's house and came home with his two front paws covered in dark ash as if nothing had happened 🥰 soyeah anakin if u are reading this i love u
7 - In the end they run away too together but I don't even want to talk about it bc willcat did cultural appropriation out of nowhere and I got jumpscared
Anyway, It's fucking hilarious for the reason that some writer just said "Huh, what if we put a cannibal cat in a children's franchise??" And everyone thought it was a great idea, I would have loved to have been there when that decision was made bc it was iconic.
