Imagine OJ Haywood and Hobie Brown meeting 😭

adding more fuel to the 'oj is an autistic king' fire: horse therapy is a Thing for autistic people, like apparently we get along very well with horses and do well training them

i would like to share with the class: i’m always right

you talk to horses and you speak in a reserved monotone and you don't look people in the eye and you're the only person in the cosmic horror who understands the Horror. interesting

OJ Haywood is the example of autistic swag, his special interest for horses and how to properly tend to their needs literally saved the day

He's an icon, he's a legend, and he is the moment

watching NOPE again, and im obsessed with the part when Emerald and OJ get home after visting Jupiter's Claim. While they're tense with each other over Jupe's offer to buy the ranch, the shot is from the side with The Cloud in view most of the time. OJ walks out of the shot. And then Emerald takes a second (hits the vape) and the shot has changed. Its toward her, and as she reaches out to OJ, the shot is between them. Between ONLY THEM. He turns around to see her and BOTH of their backs are to The Cloud. And then they're hanging and doing sibling things. And everything about that scene makes me cheer and woop and shout for joy. Adore this fuckin movie

Saw Nope today and OJ is autistic af.

just watched nope anyway oj haywood is the autistic rep we deserve

more nope textposts weird autistic men only edition

One thing that I’m surprised I haven’t seen anybody mention is that I feel like it’s easy to read OJ Haywood as autistic, which would add an extra dimension to the fact that he was the one who realized Jean Jacket doesn’t like eye contact

ok the Haywoods being Black is so important to me and important to the plot but have we talked about just How Important that is? yes the obvious line of plot (them being exploited etc.) but also very specifically their mannerisms????

ive seen the headcanon circling around that OJ is autistic. im not gonna say no he isnt, because everyone is entitled to that opinion... but like... your evidence isnt evidencing because the traits youre saying he has because hes autistic seem to be a lot more because he’s Black. specifically a dark skinned Black man. ALSO WHOSE BEST FRIEND IS HIS SISTER. 

bell hooks wrote about the history and generational trauma when it comes to Black people and gaze. google is free. HOWEVER I want us to remember (with this fucked up ass movie coming out) why was Emmett Till brutally murdered? because he looked. when I was growing up I would get smacked by my mom if i got caught staring at someone. in any context. if I hold eye contact while expressing boundaries to any white person, my doing so would be seen as an act of malice. not because of my tone or anything (im neurodivergent I am so aware of my tone at all times) but because im making eye contact. also, because of slavery and the generational trauma that has still made its way into parenting tactics today, Black people are always respectful. always. we were raised that way. so it only makes SENSE that OJ is avoiding eye contacting the he is spared by jean jacket (and they even were able to coexist) was because he respected her. he respected that she was the predator and her space.

ANOTHER THING that I've noticed is that Black boys with good relationships with their sisters exhibit a very specific set of mannerisms that OJ executes perfectly. the gentle reminders, conveying intensity with the smallest of gestures. he doesnt need to tell her he loves her for us to get that. hes her biggest supporter and at the end of the day she knows she can count on him; hes her family. 

ALSO (I have so many thoughts on this movie) someone on here said that they are doing the things you tell the main protagonists in like “normal” horror movies not to do and you keep rooting for them. and if I remember correctly they say it’s because u understand their motivation behind it, but like low-key high key, I think a big part of why you root for them is because they’re Black. Jordan peele said multiple times that the reason the movie is called nope is because that how Black people behave in horror movies (not midsommar tho but tbh I blame white academia for that one) we say nope and we run. and so this idea of not doing that is so (not necessarily) abnormal (but that’s the only word that came to mind), that you cant help but root for them.

tldr: I love when Black people make shit for Black people.
