Can we talk about Autistic Tucker? We always talk about Autistic Simmons, Autistic Caboose, etc, but never Tucker and I want to talk about Autistic Tucker.

One of the ways that Autistic masking can present is by becoming a jokester or a "class clown" type. I think that Tucker learned early in his life that he could make friends- or at least make other people laugh -with his bawdy jokes and his catchphrase (one could even call it echolalia), but as much as he talks about sex, it seems like he doesn't seem to actually have that much experience with it. He built up a persona of being hypersexual and he probably has a lot of sexual feelings, but he doesn't seem to have a lot of comfort when it comes to sex, especially when it's with a partner that's more experienced or more confident than he is (like Kai).

It's also worth mentioning that it's significantly harder for Black people to get diagnosed with Autism than white people and even though RVB is technically set in the future, it's also set in the early 2000s where there was a lot less Autism visibility in general, let alone in more marginalized populations.

We see the kinds of relationships that Tucker has with Church and with Wash, how they are similar and how they are different (whether you ship them or don't). As antagonistic as Church and Tucker are towards each other, Tucker consider Church to be his best friend and he's comfortable with how they treat each other- not necessarily comfortable in the sense that he likes it, but comfortable in the sense that it's what he's used to. With Wash, things are, in a way, more antagonistic because Wash isn't charmed by his jokes and laid back exterior until he softens a little bit. They butt heads more seriously than he did with Church, but they also get to have a bit more of a deeper and vulnerable relationship because of how Wash lowers his own walls on Chorus. When Tucker and Church "make up" on Chorus, Carolina comments on how there was no apology or anything like that, and both of them just say that that's how guys are, but I think they both just wanted to get back to the relationship they had and that relationship didn't require any kind of emotional vulnerability. The closest Tucker gets to showing emotional vulnerable wrt to Church is when he's arguing with Wash and says "I wanted to be with my best friend and now all I have is you," but he never tells Church directly that he is his best friend or how much he means to him because that's not the kind of relationship they have and (speaking from my own experience as an Autistic person) that's a really hard subject to broach when you don't have the framework for it.

This got off the rails a bit, but I'm firmly planting the rainbow infinity flag on Tucker and I have a lot of feelings about it.

Is it funnier if:

Shishido tunes in to the VTuber's broadcast knowing he'll fume about exposing Kiryu being his idea first

Shishido is already a fan of the VTuber and tunes in as normal only to fume about exposing Kiryu being his idea first

Shishido is the VTuber

SHISHIDO IS THE VTUBER

Back in 2018, an Argentine journalist gave Messi his mom’s lucky red ribbon when the team was struggling.

Fast forward to 2022, Messi still has the ribbon as Argentina become World Champions🥹💙

of all the star wars movies, which of them do y'all 1) enjoy the most 2) consider the best quality and 3) think you've rewatched the most. add your answers in the reblogs or replies, i'm genuinely curious how much of an overlap there is within everyone's three answers. mine don't overlap at all! they're revenge of the sith, empire strikes back, and the force awakens :^)

37?

37- talents

getting white people to like me

um i would say writing. that's about it lol. even though im not sure lately if im even good at that? i guess i still have the google document with all the nice things that people have said about my writing but it seems kind of narcissistic to have LOL. i know M and E might read this post and i know this is going to sound weird so sorry in advance but genuinely the I Have Never Read Fanfiction Of That Caliber / We Would Totally Read A Book Written By You incident genuinely rocked my world like i cried about it to my bff i cried about it to my entire extended friend group i cried about it on my public instagram story i almost cried about it to my youth group like that's how much it meant to me i was NOT NORMAL about it

i guess that was why i wanted to do creative writing at nanyang because i know (or at least i've been told that) that's something that i can be good at and it's the only thing in the world that i've ever been passionate about and i really want to get better at it. but i guess it's not really useful for careers and mom said no and i know the only pathways for writers in this country are 1) lawyer 2) Move To America so i guess i am stuck with business psych :(((((( yay

the irony of rehashing the same "Black French can't be french because they're from Africa" talking points as racists just because you're pissy muh colonizer country won a silly football match and thinking you're on the good side of the fence

tragic.

you know what, it's just getting started.....good job my malayan tigers 🐯🐯....what a great comeback for us before leaving this tournament ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Do you ever read something you 1000% agree with, but said a little too angry and passionately and you feel weird??

Love you babe, but the NTs decided that displays of perfectly accurate emotion means you don’t get human rights today. I’ll mask for both of us and make you a boba tea if you can remove the caps lock from your reasonably emotional post. I know I am a pissy coward worthy of no respect, it’s my means of survival.

I really do deserve a fucking apology for all the times my friends and family valued strangers on the internet and their opinions more than me

How am I supposed to be just fine with being ignored for years and years or bullied for openly liking what I like, only for those same fucking people to then turn around YEARS LATER, AFTER THE DAMAGE WAS ALREADY DONE, and be like "actually this is cool, so glad I found it" while still ignoring me. Why am I not allowed to be fucking pissed about it? Why is it considered ""gatekeepy"" when I get upset someone who deliberately ignored me for years and insulted the shit I enjoy when I asked them to get into it cuz I thought they'd like it suddenly finds interest in it because it got popular online, not because I'd been begging them to give it a chance and to listen to me for years???? Why is that not allowed????? THAT'S SUCH AN ASSHOLE MOVE, WHY IS IT 'NOT OKAY' TO BE MAD? WHY DON'T THEY GROW A SPINE AND APOLOGIZE FOR DISMISSING ME FIRST? HOW ABOUT THAT?????
