Bdubs is rich, rich enough that he doesn't know what to do with his money. He doesn't want a big house, he doesn't like how gaudy rich decor is, he still has his junkyard pickup from highschool and he'll only replace it when it catches fire (again). He got a full scholarship to college and got a great job right after graduating.

Etho...isn't poor, ok? He's just, modest. He's got a little apartment that's water tight and cozy. he doesn't need a car, skateboards to work and college and he has enough excess money to buy himself a little treat every week. it's senior year, he's living as good as he can.

They ran into each other doing Etho's commute. "Ran into each other" meaning Etho didn't look both ways and Bdubs' shitty breaks can only break so fast, so Etho's day was put on hold because getting hit by a truck is uh, uncomfortable.

He's not dead, just a little fucked up, especially his leg. It doesn't hurt right now but he knows it will based on the angle. He's lying dazed on the pavement when Bdubs reaches him, "FUCK ARE YOU OK OMG IM SO SORRY"

Bdubs brings him to the hospital and surprisingly waits for him to be all fixed up. Then Bdubs covers his medical fees even though he really didn't need to. It's Etho's fault he was hit after all.

Obviously with a broken leg Etho can't get to work, which he tells Bdubs in passing while he's driven home. "O no worries, tell me your schedule I'll take you."

"I can just get a taxi it's no biggie."

"I'm offering u a free ride."

"very correct, lemme see your phone I'll text you."

And so friendship.

And then more???? Idk man I was almost hit by a car today lmao

-carrie

Where Bdubs won't spend on himself, he certainly would on Etho. If the man let him. He's offered to buy Etho a car, to replace anything that got damaged in the crash, even to pay for any missed work.

The most Etho agrees is the medical bills and a new skateboard. He won't even accept a bike! He only accepted the medical bills because he 'has enough student loan debt' (Bdubs offered to pay for that too. Etho at least considered it for a little longer.)

It takes a while until they meet comfortably in the middle. Etho will happily take a ride from Bdubs - as long as Bdubs lets him contribute fuel money. It motivates Bdubs to actually get a decent ride at some point, though he keeps the pick up.

Most importantly, Etho gets more than one treat a week now. No matter how frugal Bdubs tries to be, it all falls apart when he's presented with sweet treats. They could even call them dates.

I swear I have read your big post regarding Peter Parker's neurodivergence and why it is best to avoid labelling him, but he definitely has a weird brain

Can't find it and feel kinda sad about it cuz I deeply related to it

i know exactly which post you're talking about and i can't find it either! i've raked through my archive, and it's just - nowhere to be seen. i think tumblr eated it (it happens.)

really, tumblr's search functionality is so so useless, i don't know what to tell you. there are plenty of keywords i can search to find it that post, but the search functionality actually just does not work!

undiagnosed audhd-addled peter parker, my darling, my light, my life, my everything.

i think peter parker's such an interesting creature to write, because a lot of people will point to a certain behaviour about him and say "this is an autistic thing, right?" but a lot of those behaviours are actually, in my head, tied to certain traumas in peter's life too.

people say "oh, the food thing, peter's a picky eater because he's autistic" and yes, absolutely. but also it's tied to his trauma with his parents.

peter gets overstimulated, and yes, it's an autism thing, but also he was bitten by a radioactive spider and his senses are dialled to 11.

it's a similar case i've found for myself, too – where a lot of friends i have kind of diagnose me because i have autistic traits, but actually - i'm hesitant to claim the label or pursue diagnosis because, actually, i know where these certain behaviours come from, and they come from certain traumas. there are events i can pinpoint in my life and say "yep. that's where this behaviour comes from."

so - i think there's a lot of overlap between trauma and autistic traits. the brain is very complex! i think the reason for that overlap is maybe as simple as the fact that people with autism and people with trauma are both doing the same thing - developing behaviours to protect themselves or soothe themselves. so - i think it's nice to be able to see a character like peter parker, who may or may not be autistic, but recognise behaviours in him and see yourself in him.

people who go undiagnosed for whatever reason - people who are really good at masking - so good, in fact, that they have no idea they might be on the spectrum - everyone and anyone at all can look at peter parker and recognise themselves. because i think we discredit the thought that every single brain does the same thing! develops certain behaviours in order to survive. every brain has that same software - we've just all been faced with different hardships that we need to overcome, and that's were all the differences come in.

autism is a spectrum, i guess - everyone falls into it to some degree. and i think events in your life probably push you along on it. but i don't know, i didn't study brain science. probably what i'm saying is very stupid and uninformed. of course there's brain chemistry involved. but i know people in my life living with autism and certain events in their life have exacerbated certain behaviours or made coping with it a lot more difficult. so maybe trauma is a catalyst.

#a lot of my traits have been exacerbated lately and i remember it was much easier for me before #and some of my friends have said “oh it's because you've been masking too long and now you're facing autistic burnout.”#and that made sense to me i think.#but then i found out about the stress thing. me overproducing stress hormone. and that's a very physical thing.#and that explains why i've been overstimulated more than usual lately. and why everything feels like too much.#and i wonder how many of these traits of mine are going to subside once i have lamar removed #and it makes me wonder a lot of things. and it's so weird how much your brain is tied to your biology.#i wonder how much i'll change. i wonder how i'll feel. i wonder if i'll still feel like me. i wonder how much me is me right now.#and how much of me is being altered by weird freaky hormones. who am i?? who will i be??#i'm almost looking at this as like. a superhero origin story of some sort. like this is my spider-bite moment. maybe.#will i be different? will i cope with things differently?? now that my body isn't fighting something anymore??#maybe i'll be normal. i don't know. i don't know.#i don't know what it'll mean for me.#but all of these things mean i relate to peter parker in a certain kind of way #i don't think you have to be diagnosed with autism to recognise and empathise with those traits i think #i think everyone can see themselves in peter. and i think that's the benefit of having characters that aren't diagnosed.#because there's so much overlap in the human experience. and certain feelings aren't exclusive to just one group of people.#peter has such a rich identity actually. it's an autistic thing. it's a queer thing. it's a jewish thing. it's a trauma thing.#there are so many overlapping parts of peter's identity that inform who he is and how he behaves and it's never just one thing.#it's a product of all of his things.#just like me! just like everyone.#so me? i guess i can be a million things. you can explain what i am in a million different ways.#a hundred different psychologists can all come up with different ways to explain why i be the way i be.#i don't think it's something that can be simplified.#sorry wow. i'm really going off here in the tags.#i hope people don't think i'm stupid. i don't know brain science. i'm just philosophising as usual.#sci speaks

hate to break it to Sarah but for the most part, people raised in cultures who's beliefs they fundamentally disagree with usually don't despise their people and call them savage brutes or whatever for complying to the standards they were raised with. From my experience, people can acknowledge that that's all they've ever known.

it simply does not make sense to me how Rhys, Cassian, and Azriel can see their own people as brutes. They know what it's like, they understand the culture, they understand the beliefs their people were raised with, and instead of trying to change their culture's beliefs in a meaningful way (which if they wanted to, they could, none of this "oh but change takes time" bullshit. Enforce the wing clipping ban, cowards.), they spend their time whining about how ruthless the Illyrians are.

SJM, pretty please, this is not how people are. And frankly I think it's a bit harmful for the bat boys to be portrayed as "the good ones" from a marginalized group. I don't know how to properly phrase it, but i've seen it in my own life. The farther I stray from something stereotypically associated with my culture, the better and more reasonable I'm treated by the people around me. It just strikes me as icky for the bat boys to be portrayed like they are the only reasonable illyrians, like they are the exceptions, like they are the only good ones, BECAUSE they stray away from Illyrian culture.

#i'm so bad with words i hope this makes sense #it just all strikes me as baffling #maybe it's just because i'm an immigrant in a rich white town and have seen the “oh but you're one of the good ones” firsthand #anyways moving on #anti sjm #anti rhysand #anti cassian #anti azriel #anti ic #anti bat boys

One of the things I love about Glass Onion is the way that the camera and music work together to tell nonverbal jokes.

Like when Benoit basically has to hold Miles' hand to get him to the conclusion that someone reset the puzzle box Benoit lies about receiving:

Benoit asks if it's possible that someone reset the box, and Miles then declares that someone must have reset the box like it is this huge reveal - and the camera zooms out while the music subtly swells as though he really has figured out something smart, when actually he literally restated what Benoit just said.

#original #I love the reveal that he's not even a smart con artist he's just a piece of shit #he's just a shameless copycat that people keep enabling to do bad things bc they assume he knows what he's talking about bc he's rich #like that line in Fiddler on the Roof - 'it won't matter if I'm wrong or if I'm right cuz you're rich they think you really know!'#glass onion #knives out glass onion #benoit blanc #Daniel Craig #ed norton #I hope the YouTuber sideways does a video about this because he does incredible music theory videos about movie scores #and I bet there are a bunch of hidden meanings within the music that I have no idea how to pick out #that man is like a wizard to me I don't understand how someone can understand music that much!#So cool!#I started this movie like 2 hours ago and I'm barely half an hour in cuz I keep stopping to write film theory essays on Tumblr #oh Adderall you cad!#I have no regrets I feel like this is helping me understand film better. i care a lot about the language of Storytelling #and I must say my favorite medium is film. I am writing a graphic novel right now but if I knew I could just skip that part and make it #into a show. I would do that. I don't wanna draw that much! I like drawing! but I want to see it as a show!!#this is too many drawings!!!!!#but for various reasons the film industry is not really a great place for me - or even possible as a physically disabled person #hard to work yourself up to the director's chair when all the entry positions involve standing for 14 hours at a time #I hope that if I ever do manage to make my graphic novel into a TV show that I will maintain enough control over the project to ensure #accessible hiring practices and workplaces #but in the meantime I guess I have to make waaaay too many drawings #no I can't shorten the story I don't have that kind of control it is an epic saga and the world's longest Slow Burn and that is that

pretty much this article exactly say my thoughts of why i just dont care about the submersible. they catastrophically imploded, which is the nice way out for them, and also they collectively had more money than any of us could ever dream of seeing in our lives (all billionaires have blood on their hands. btw)

put my thought and general ick around the way it has all been spoken about into words perfectly ^

(turned reblogs off bc i dont want this treated as a news source with people sharing without even reading the article first, which is also an opinion piece not breaking news or something)

#kiddo say #same thought as the rich idiots climbing chomolungma - your money shouldnt grant you access to every corner of the world #get off that sacred mountain you're soiling and abusing the people of. i hope your fancy little submersible explodes.#oh it makes me so fuckin angry

gnna be honest im like genuinely and profoundly horrified by how little knowledge and understanding most therapists and psychiatrists have. it's actually shocking how everything they know is at base level and only covers the most "usual" mental health issues such as depression. even after years in school it's still like they're only capable of applying their very limited knowledge on "normal", neurotypical and healthy people. they actually have no idea how to treat people who are mentally ill. therefore they only cause ever stronger feelings of isolation, alienation and wrongness upon their patients

#the help i've gotten is ridiculous. it's like they can only treat a normal person who just had a rough patch at work #and is going thru a divorce so theyre extra stressed #thats the limit of who they can help lmao #like... it makes me so dejected #to have finally ubderstood this #if ppl do experience that therapy helps them thats great! it's lucky to come across the one or two therapists that are actually good #but like 9/10 times thats not the case #the mental health care system is crazy and it is NOT designed to actually help anyone who experience mental illness #IF you even manage to access help bc unless you create issues for society they'll just keep turning you down #idk i can write 20 pages on this bc there's so much to say #but the bottom line is. there is actually nowhere to go for mentally ill ppl. no help unless you're very lucky (or rich)#it's extremely dejecting and thats why i lowkey hope a lot of ppl who struggle will never come to this realization #when you open your eyes to reality and see how hopeless it all is you're completely alone and helpless so just live on that false hope #anti psych

My dearest patchy, congrats on one year with this blog!! Your celebration sounds amazing and I cannot wait to see what you come up with for everyone. Your writing is always amazing and you’ve always been so supportive of everyone around you. You’re such a positive light in the world and I hope you know that 🥰 if I may, I would love to stay awhile and read an intriguing book of old. Whatever you suggest I know will be amazing 💜💜

I must say that your presence is always such a joy to me, my sweet Elle, and it has been since far before I even opened my little shop. I cannot thank you enough for your support and patronage throughout all my little sales and offers of potions; your trust in me has warmed my heart. 💛

So, if you wish to continue to trust me, and believe you me I would not lead you astray, then I suggest to you the moss green book that is sitting so perfectly in the middle of my far shelf.

Please, have a small peek, I promise you will like it~ 🔮

You felt a sense of unease fill your spirit as stood, eyes adverted, at the foot of the throne room you had entered. What was once giddy excitement that took purchase in your heart quickly faded as the gazes of the monarchs of this land fell onto you. It made your skin crawl and you did your best not to shift from toe to toe, knowing that your restlessness over them would lead them to judge you further

The House of Shinso were notorious for being fastidious. From the food the ate, the cloth upon their skin, the jewels to adorn their brow, to who they decide to keep in their company. All of it held under the scrutinous gaze before they were either tossed aside or given the permission to stay – many were within the former.

In this case you could not bring them much fault, after all their son was to be wed. it was only natural for his family to want him to marry the most suitable bride they could find; after all they were meant to spend a life together, and to help bring good fortune after their match. They couldn’t just allow any woman to be apart of the crown, to gain or keep the title of princess for in years to come they would be Queen. It wasn’t a matter of if the woman that stood before them was of good breeding, pretty of face and had wit. But rather if they would be able to hold their head high and rule in a matter best suited for the kingdom they would leave behind.

A tough decision indeed. That is why tests had to be put in place to ensure a good match.

And you? You merely stood before them humbly. Unlike the many that came before you, the ones who had plenty of money, land, and a strong name attached, you were but a princess from a small land from far away; from a family that had not much to their name, or many a word said about them, from a land that was neither struggling nor thriving. A comely woman with not much to note.

Well, at least that was what his parents thought. But Prince Hitoshi seemed rather taken by you. From the gentle way you walked, to the kind smile you gave, to the sweet and soft melody your voice carried; it was all so different and so very much welcomed in his world of rigidity.

Yet he knew that his parents would not allow you his hand. That you would not be deemed good enough to pass any test they would give, if they felt you worthy enough to even think of such a notion. No, Hitoshi had to be clever to ensure that he would marry you, someone so beautifully warm and kind, and not someone rich with gold but with an icy heart.

Stepping forth he bowed to you, a small smile gracing his lips for the first time in a long while as he moved to stand by your side and properly address the King and Queen.

“If I may,” He began, voice rasped with underuse before he took a moment to clear it “to stand here and wait for you to find a flaw with royal who has traveled so far to see us merely means there isn’t one so easily seen, correct?”

“And what are you getting at?” His father spoke, the deep rumble of his voice made your nerves tremble further as you sucked in a quiet and shaky breath.

“Perhaps a challenge to prove her worth would suffice? After all, only so much one can prove if they just stand before you.”

The King scoffed at the notion, the Queen herself even rolled her eyes at the thought of wasting further time upon you. It made you shrink in on yourself as you tried to hide away from the distain that felt for you that lingered in the air – especially now that their son seemed interested in a courtship with you.

But they could not deny that he was right, what basis could they provide that would be suitable enough to reject you? After all, they could not squander their name with your family, trades of good still needed to be provided to them – even if they came from lands they didn’t find appealing. Though what test could they give that would lead to failure every time?

It took a moment, but the Queen’s eyes brightened as she sat higher in her throne “Perhaps you are right, my son.”

“You agree then, mother?” Hitoshi added, brows furrowed in confusion at the lead his mother had taken; especially when she waved off his father, sparing him a coy glance before she continued on.

“I do, after all you were right. It is difficult for one to prove their worth if they do not have the chance to showcase anything.” She smiled at you, though you could tell it was not sincere “So, I have thought of a way she could.”

You waited with bated breath, your nerves aflame as you waited for whatever impossible task they were to give you. Though you were flattered to have the Prince’s favour, you knew that to be an even worse consequence than to be of lesser standing.

“Soft skin is a sign of good breeding” The Queen began “and as such, no woman can marry my son unless she has this quality. So, if you are up to the challenge and wish for my son’s hand, I propose this. Tonight, you shall stay with us, upon one hundred of our most luxurious beds and linen, beneath it all shall lie an item of my choosing. If at any point during your slumber you feel it and can properly describe what it is to us the next morning, than I give you my blessing to marry.

After a moment, after all that she had said lingered in the air, she cocked her head to the side as she watched you – wondering if you truly had the courage or naivety to take her upon her offer “Does that sounds satisfactory to you?”

When you nodded you head, squaring your shoulders in defiance of her sneer, did she know her answer. Hitoshi merely smile, as he took you by your wait to help guide you to the room that you would be staying, wishing to keep you company within your receiving chamber as it was being prepared.

That night, you dreaded the embarrassment that would befall you when the dawn broke. How they would sneer and laugh as you failed to complete the task set out for you. You had hoped that at least you would be greeted with the finest sleep that you could ever wish for, the lined and beds they provided were the softest and most comfortable you had ever felt, but alas you couldn’t. No matter how you turned, no matter how you laid, something small would poke into you and leave you unable to truly sink into the realm of slumber.

When the morning came and a servant girl was cast to bring you forth for breakfast with the royal family, did you admit defeat. Eye heavy as you struggled to keep them open you allowed yourself to be parade – truly too exhausted to care for propriety; a blessing and a curse when it came to facing them. You did not wish for the Prince to see you in such a state, but the haze that filled your mind left you carefree over whatever insults the Queen and her husband would give you.

“And how did you sleep, hm?” The Queen asked once you had settled into the seat before you “Did you enjoy the linen? Were the pillows filled to your desirability? How did you find the heat of your room?”

Slowed, your eyes blinked up at her as you tired your best to listen as the hustle of the servants around you provided you breakfast, you nodded her head to her questions as you were not sure if you could respond in a manner appropriate.

“Oh dear, perhaps you didn’t enjoy your sleep!” The Queen feigned concern as she gazed at you

“No, no” You tried to reassure, taking a small sip of your tea though you knew it would not help “The sleep was wonderful, I just….”

As you trailed off to garner another sip of the warm brew given to you the Queen placed a hand over your own; silently urging you to continue onward.

“Suppose that I did not want to be rude.” You started again, carefully setting you teacup down and choosing to stare at it rather than the curious people around you “Though what you have provided me was wonderful, I could not find complete comfort in order to sleep. It was as if a small, hardened pea kept following me and piecing my sides.”

You saw as the Queen’s face fell with shock, how her jaw went slack and bewilderment came into her eyes, how the Prince’s eyes grew with delight at your confession, one that he was privy to and could now use as fodder should his parents try to back out of their deal with you.

Hitoshi stood and walked his way over to your side, he took hold of your hand and brought it to his lips…

“Apologises, love” The smooth voice of the peddler before you spoke, it caused you to jolt free from the spell the book within your hands had casted over you “But it seems you are standing in the way of some charms another patron wished to look at”

Your head jerked to look to your right, where the shining gems and gold sat, before it came to fall upon the peddler and the meek patron that was behind her “I am so sorry, did not mean to be in the way”

“No, of course not, no apology needed” The peddler hummed, a tone reassuring to your frazzled mind, as a knowing smile graced her lips “if you would like, I have plenty of spare chairs to sit upon if you wished to finish your story.”

Would you like me to make you a cup of tea as well? I can see you are just getting to the best part of the story, would hate for you to have to stop once again because you are parched.

No matter, if you shall need me, I shall be right here. Be it for tea, or perhaps even a potion or two, I am at your service. 🔮

I do hope you wish to keep what you found, for all 'sales' are final

#also I would just like to say that comely means beautiful #the reason they don't like you is because you are so beautiful but not overly rich #but Shinso? He knows you're a beauty inside and out so he's glad he can keep you #i do hope you like this for I had a lot of fun writing it 💛#🔮.the peddler's one year event #hitoshi shinsou #shinsou x reader #mha shinsou
