something they don’t tell you about being autistic is that every character you write WILL end up autistic/autistic-coded whether you like it or not

From @theamd426 Falling asleep in class/work for teenage Reggie and Julie please!!!!
Reggie sighed as he clocked in, donning his vest. Overnight shifts were always the worst, but they paid more, so he took them on occasion. At least this way he didn't have to deal with customers, all he had to do was restock the shelves and take inventory.
"Hey Reggie!" Julie called as she clocked in. "Ready for an exciting night of work?"
He shrugged but offered her a smile. "It's better now that you're here. I was terrified I would be stuck with Brett."
Julie wrinkled her nose at that. "Ew, no one should suffer like that." Then she giggled, and Reggie joined her. Brett was a useless layabout who usually smelled of weed and made terrible racist jokes, so no one wanted to work with him.
"At least I get half the music choices with you," Reggie said, elbowing her. They had similar tastes, and had a playlist for whenever they worked together, a mix of the stuff they both liked, since no one else was working, no one else could argue about the music.
"Well crank it up and we'll get started," Julie said with a hip check.
With the music blaring, they got to work; first tossing out the spoiled produce, and taking out anything expired from the coolers. Rotating stock so the older stuff went in front as they put the new in the rear.
Reggie started on the inventory as Julie filled the shelves, then they switched the next aisle over, taking turns as they went to make the night go faster. Chatting as they went, about their upcoming senior year, their co-workers, their friends, and plans for university. The two of them had been friends for awhile, and had come to work here by coincidence, making their bond even deeper.
Being good friends also made it easier to get through the long night shifts together, even if they finished long before they were due thanks to how well they worked together.
"Wanna go chill in the patio furniture before we start on the cleaning?" Reggie suggested.
"Sounds good," Julie agreed, covering a yawn as they went. "Sorry, I should have napped this afternoon but Flynn was having relationship drama and best friend duties trumped my need for sleep."
"Ugh tell me about it, I have to listen to Alex whine about his ginormous crush on Willie more than I don't," Reggie replied. "However my nap plans got waylaid by Luke and his new bridge for Destination Nowhere."
"Think we'd get in trouble for sneaking in a snooze?" Julie asked as they lounged on the patio furniture.
"As long as we wake up in time to wipe the cameras," Reggie said. "Though you know Kenneth doesn't care as long as everything gets done."
"I'll set an alarm," Julie said, taking out her phone, yawning again. Reggie already had his eyes closed but murmured his consent.
This wasn't the first time they had done this-though they usually did so in the staff room where the cameras weren't, but like Reggie said, their manager wasn't a big harper for the rules given they had caught him napping amongst the holiday blow ups more than once.
They never napped long-half an hour at most, but it was a much needed refresher. Even if they were both a bit groggy when Julie's alarm blared.
"Alright, I'm up, I'm up," Reggie protested, rubbing his eyes.
"Five more minutes," Julie moaned.
"No way Molina, we gotta get the cleaning done then I propose we clock out early and go back to yours for a lengthy snooze," Reggie proposed.
"Why my house?" Julie asked as she stretched.
"You have a million couches and your family will let us sleep, unlike mine," Reggie replied.
"Fair enough," Julie said. "Let's get too, I can hear my bed calling my name."
Reggie nodded and they went back to work, leaving as soon as it was done and getting a quality amount of sleep once back at the Molina house.
Of course, they also forgot to wipe the cameras, and the next shift they were on, there was a screenshot of them snoozing printed out in the break room for them-surrounded by a big red heart and Kenneth's name signed underneath it. They both blushed, but decided that next time they caught him cuddling the stuffed animals, they were definitely getting proof as revenge.
Even if he was right about the heart by the end of the summer.

From @theamd426 Spending the night for the first time with Reggie and the Whole Molina family…
"You know if you don't want to stay you can call me anytime, right?" Paula asked as they pulled into the driveway.
"I know," Reggie replied, though his voice was whisper quiet and subdued.
"They're a nice family, and they have two children, so you won't be alone. I think the daughter is around your age and their son is a few years younger," Paula assured him as she helped him out of the car.
Reggie hummed in response, keeping his head low as they headed for the door, clutching the handles of his duffel bag tight to his chest. He didn't have much-all of it he got once he entered the group home, having left all of his own things behind when he ran away after his dad nearly broke his arm.
He knew he was better off in the foster system, away from his parents who hurt him in untold ways, and now going to a foster home. But he wished he had some of his own clothes, his books, anything of his own, but getting them had meant going back to his house, and even if they had promised his parents wouldn't be there when he went, he didn't want to set foot back in there just in case.
The Molinas seemed nice enough, welcoming and happy to have him. The food was different than what he was used to-a little spicier than normal, but Reggie had always liked a bit of heat. Plus it beat the instant oatmeal and bland food he was used to at the group home.
Carlos offered to show him his video games, and Reggie gave a weak smile-he had been pretty good at the arcade before everything, but he had never used any system that you got to use at home. But he figured he could give it a try, especially since Carlos promised to go easy on him.
Julie asked him about music, and was excited he knew how to play a few instruments, offering to show him the studio the next day. They didn't have a bass for him to use, but there was an acoustic guitar and a piano, which was more than he was used to. He did miss his bass though, that was his biggest regret that he left behind, missing the looks that Rose and Ray exchanged when he said as much.
They told him that Rose's sister, Victoria would be by tomorrow and she would be bringing him out to get a few things since they hadn't personalized his room any. Reggie tried to protest, but they insisted they didn't mind getting him a few posters and a set of sheets.
Ray promised to show him around the next afternoon, to show off the neighbourhood, and the school he'd be attending with Julie in a few weeks time. And Rose promised to let him contact his friends from his old school; Luke, Alex, and Bobby so they could hang out once more since he was finally settled. He'd seen them here and there since leaving home, but it had been a hot second since the four of them had hung out properly.
"You sure you don't mind?" he asked meekly.
"Of course not mijo," Ray assured him. "You're family now."
"Julie and Carlos' friends are always here," Rose told him. "So your friends are more than welcome."
Soon enough it was time for bed, and Reggie let himself be lead to his new room. It was plain, just as they said, but it was nice enough. A bed all to himself, with clean sheets and a new stuffed dog sitting on it. A shelf with a few books, with more than enough room for more. A dresser with a few staples, but he could put his things in it and have space for the things they had promised to buy him. He could see himself being happy enough here.
Sure it might be only a temporary situation, even though the Molinas had assured him if it worked out they would love to adopt him. Reggie kept his fingers crossed that it would work out-it meant no more uncertainty, and a rwal family again.
He snuggled into the bed, preening when Ray read him a story, and Rose kissed him goodnight. Maybe he was too old for that, but he loved the attention, and hoped they kept it up for quite some time yet.
It was hard falling asleep that night though. He was used to sleeping in a room with many other kids, adults bustling about, people coming and going. It was odd to be in a quiet room all to himself. But the bed was cozy, the dog tight in his grip, and eventually he fell asleep with hope for the future blossoming in his heart.
Maybe in the morning he'd find himself kicked out, or that they had changed their mind about letting him stay. But until then, he was going to enjoy his time here. And maybe... maybe one day he could be a Molina tood.
Which he was, in less than a year. And he found that suited him quite well.

Alex Mercer would play the slapstick during the school band’s performance of Sleigh Ride and Reggie would be so jealous.
It gets even worse though when their band director tells Alex that he can make a little routine or dance around the stage if he wants and Alex takes full advantage of this.

you guys know you can get USB connectable CD, dvd, and blu-ray players right. and you can buy external hard drives with crazy amounts of space for an amount of money that would make the average person from 2009’s head explode bc of how cheap it is. and if you do this and get ripping software such as handbrake for CDs and DVDs and makeMKV for blurays you can both own a physical copy of whatever media you want and make it accessible to yourself no matter where you are. do you guys know this

Love this take!!!!! Because Alex had to have gotten his anxiety from somewhere!!!!! I’m writing a fic set in modern times and his parents aren’t homophobic but just like super cautious especially since he has a peanut allergy and probably asthma. They don’t want him out late anymore incase he gets attacked for a hate crime… eeeeek the possibilities!!!!
Not to be devil’s advocate but Luke said Alex’s parents were “never cool again” after Alex told them he was gay. I love Luke but he is an unreliable teenage boy.
Alex felt comfortable enough to tell his parents he was gay in 1995. His parents would’ve been teens and young adults in the 80s.
What if his parents weren’t homophobic but instead just afraid for their son? They probably knew several people who had died of AIDS. I imagine Alex’s parents were misguided and just scared for their child.

Alex, coming out: i am gay.
Luke: that's cool, man. You're safe here, if none gets you, we do. We love you no matter what and we love all of you, what matters is that you find happiness within yourself.
Bobby: and if anyone gives you shit about this, we won't let 'em get away. You're our brother.
Alex: thanks, it means a lot to me. Reggie, you've been quiet.
Reggie: when I said d&d was cool, all of you started laughing at me, luke almost kicked me out of the band and bobby said he was disgusted. Dont get me wrong, alex, i love you, man...but you asked me if i was gonna lead "a campaign through loserland".
Luke:
Bobby:
Alex:
Alex: yeah, I'm still uncomfortable with that side of you.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but as a creator -
I am fine with "the audience" -
downloading my fics
printing my fics
copy/pasting or screenshotting my fics
sharing your saved copy of my fics with anyone else who might want them in the unlikely but never impossible case that my fics are no longer available on ao3
making a book of my fic(s) and running your fingers across the pages while lovingly whispering my precioussss
doing these things with anything I create for fandom, such as meta, headcanons, au nonsense like 'texts from the brodinsons,' etc
I am not fine with "the audience"
doing any of the above with the purpose/intent of plagiarizing my work or passing it off as their own in any capacity
feeding my work into ai for any reason whatsoever
Save the fandom things. Preserve the fandom things. Respect the fandom things.
Enjoy the fandom things.
