MC needs some extra love
_______
You’re having an off day. Your demons have asked to make sure nothing’s actually wrong, just to be safe, but they’ve seen you like this a few times before. They understand. You’re just feeling down for no particular reason. Just sad and low energy. Extra tired.
Nothing happened, no one hurt you, nothing’s wrong… you just woke up in a low mood. Because it simply be like that sometimes. You just… need some extra affection today. No reason. It’s okay, they’re not judging. They’ll do what they can to cheer you up a little—they love you, you know. They want to see you smile at least once today.
_______
Lucifer:
When Lucifer notices your mood, he softens towards you a lot. He asks if anything is wrong first of course—they all do—but once he learns that there’s nothing he needs to correct and no one he needs to punish on your behalf, he just softens. He treats you more gently than usual.
He expects you’ll get fed up entertaining all his brothers, with their endless chaotic energy. So he invites you to hide out with him in his office. You are invited to just sit with him and read, or put on some music, or play a game on your DDD, or just rest… or whatever it is that will help.
He’ll even let you curl up in his lap and cuddle with him if that’s what you want. That cheers him up too.
He quietly redistributes the most taxing of your chores for today amongst the seven of them, to give you time to recharge.
You’ll find Levi and Beel doing the dishes for you when it’s your turn, or if you’re supposed to make dinner you’ll find that Mammon and Asmo have already ordered everyone takeout, and they’re already in the middle of setting it all out on the table. You won’t have to do a thing! If you were supposed to clean up a common space in the house, it’ll already be done by some of your assorted pact partners. You might even find sticky notes placed amongst your homework in Lucifer’s, Satan’s, and Belphie’s handwriting, suggesting edits and books titles to check for better information, and pointing out any parts in your work that are particularly well done.
When you check your DDD later, you see that Lucifer had instructed his brothers to take on what they can from you to make your life easier today. He was not planning on letting you know that, clearly—because he sent that in the brothers group chat. You only know because Karasu’s spy feature showed you.
His support is shown in all these soft, quiet details. Peaceful moments. Simple, but unmistakable reminders of how loved you are. It’s okay if you don’t smile today, even though he would like you too. He will verbally remind you that loves you anyway.
_______
Mammon:
Mammon’s first instinct, of course, is retail therapy. He offers to take you shopping. He’ll even pay for your stuff! He doesn’t mind if it makes you happy!
You appreciate that very much—and maybe you’d be happy to take him up on that if you were sad for a reason, but… you just have no spare energy. Just thinking about going out exhausts you more. You’d have to deal with looking at things! And forming opinions, and deciding on stuff to buy! There’s crowds and cashiers and bright lights and just… stuff outside! You can’t, you just can’t. You have no energy and you can’t.
The first time Mammon sees you like this, he’s confused. You don’t wanna go out? You don’t want any new stuff?? He sure hasn’t felt like that before!
He puts effort into figuring out what will actually help cheer you up instead. He’s considerate that way.
He tries taking you for a long drive. He tries taking tasks off your to-do list. He tries trailing after you all day to keep you company, holding your hand, chattering all day so you can’t hear your thoughts, staying quiet so you don’t get overstimulated. He cycles through every possible approach over the months, on every random day you happen to wake up like this.
It’s all greatly appreciated—and hey, some of his ideas work better than the rest! You feel loved and cared for regardless. It’s impossible to miss how much he adores you.
Eventually though, he strikes gold!
That particular day, he had been telling you a stupid joke every time he ran into you, in an attempt to make you smile. He gets a weak grin for his troubles just about halfway through the day. He beams at you triumphantly at that, impulsively scooping you up for a hug and repeatedly kissing the top of your head, and—aha! THERE’S the smile he was looking for!
From that point on, he knows what to do!
The next time you wake up in this mood, he takes the first opportunity to give you a playfully over the top show of affection. Over the course of the day, he keeps doing it!
He runs into you in the hallway between classes, he (gently) aggressively ruffles your hair as he passes you. He finds you aimlessly walking through the house, you immediately get snatched into his arms for a nice long squeeze. You sit with him as he’s scrolling through devilgram, he sets it aside for a moment to squish your cheeks between his hands and cover your forehead and nose with loud, playful kisses. You go up to him and request attention? You get kiss attacked, and he won’t let up until you crack a smile!
Your brain hurts, he says, echoing your very first explanation. It’s okay though, he says. He’ll kiss it better, he says.
He is MORE than happy to completely discard the tsundere façade to lean into this… over-the-top affectionate silliness, as long as it continues to make you laugh and smile like that.
He won’t admit it, but… this is more honest. This is much closer to who he is at heart than his usual behaviour is. Try as he might, he can’t hide how much he cares to save his life.
The realest aspect of Mammon is not the dumbass, not the money-grubber, not the uncaring cool guy that he pretends to be… no, it’s the goofy dork who loves you SO much that he’d go to any amount of effort to cheer you up.
He’s damn good at it too! HE was put in charge of your well-being for a reason! He’s the best big brother/guardian/friend/pact partner ever, and you’re his to take care of. He’s not letting HIS human go without smiling once for a whole day! You’re the sole member of his family he can openly dote on, and dammit, he will!
_______
Levi:
Levi’s go-to is, of course, distracting you with media. He tries games first, but if you’re too low-energy for that, he gets it. He tries anime, movies, shows, videos, manga, whatever you seem to respond best to.
You’ll notice a theme of letting others help, confiding in friends, opening up to people. There are repeated instances of characters asking for support from the rest of the cast and then being helped and taken care of. Lots of power of friendship stories, lots of hurt/comfort and “it’s rotten work” “not to me, not if it’s you” and team-as-family.
Maybe, just maaaybe, he’s trying to tell you something!
He relaxes when you explain that you just woke up like this, sometimes this just happens and it’s no one’s fault, there’s no problem, he doesn’t have to worry about you. He gets that! Sometimes he wakes up like that too. It does happen!
But… you’re his player two! He wants to worry about you!
So he takes care of you the way he wishes someone would take care of him when he gets like that. Gives you the extra love he knows first-hand that you need right now. He lets you choose the entertainment, he holds your hand, and mirrors what you do to self-soothe.
If you wanna lie on the floor and stare at his jellyfish decorations, he’s right next to you. If you wanna tell Henry how you’re feeling, he’s right there with you doing the same so you don’t have to feel self-conscious. If you’re stimming, he will too. That one makes him happy as well! If you wanna burrow into a pile of blankets and plushies like a hognose snake, he totally gets it and will also do that. He does that anyway sometimes, just because it’s comfy.
There’s not a hint of judgement from Levi. Ever. He gets it.
When you guys HAVE to leave his room, like for meals and such, he lends you his headphones. So you don’t get overstimulated from all the noise his brothers make. He never goes far from you, either. He always stays close enough that you can reach for him if you want to.
After dinner, when you’re tired and done with trying to act normal (not that even one of your demons is fooled), Levi brings you back to his room. He asks if you have any requests, anything you want to do, anything he can do to help you. If you know what you need, he’ll just do it. If you don’t, he’ll offer comfort in some form that makes sense to him. He understands that all you really need is some extra love when you’re like this, so he’s not at a loss. He gets it, he feels the same way sometimes, he can do that!
You end up curled up in his lap, hiding your face in his shoulder as he watches an anime you’ve both seen before at a low volume. Familiar and comforting. He’s happy to just sit and chill with you until you feel like you’ve recharged enough. He knows you’d do the same for him.
_______
Satan:
Satan’s instinct, once he learns what’s going on, is to bring you to the quiet spot outside where the stray cats he has befriended gather and then plonk the chillest one in your lap.
Cats are perfect fluffy little warm purring bundles of free therapy, after all. How could you not be recharged by this?
He’s not wrong, the cat definitely helps. It is in fact a perfect creature.
But… well, you don’t bother to spend the energy on saying so, but being outside isn’t really helping. You cringe at every loud noise. The wind ruffling your clothes every so often is annoying you. You’re sitting on concrete and it’s making you cold. The streetlights feel particularly aggressive to your eyes today. Very stabby. There are smells outside! No one wants that!
You love the cats, but Satan is giving them all his attention and you’re getting just a little bit jealous. You as well are giving the cat in your lap all your attention, and—as stupid as you feel about it—you’re getting a little bit jealous about that too. You want attention too! All the cat has to do is be cute and soft and it can have all the petting and cuddling it wants! As it deserves, yes, but… don’t you as well, though..?
You try to push that feeling away and just pet the cat. The cat did nothing wrong, you still love it, you’re supposed to be feeling MORE recharged from this! Not… whatever it is you do feel. At the end of the day you still enjoy petting the cat and you don’t want it to leave. That’s still true and that’s what matters, you tell yourself.
Eventually the cat decides it’s had enough petting for now, and gets up. Satan checks on you, fully expecting you to be thoroughly cheered up! Instead he sees you staring forlornly at your hands, mostly zoned out. Confused, he asks if you’re okay.
You nod once, giving him a hollow smile.
Now he’s concerned. He takes a minute to finish petting the cats surrounding him—noting the hint of jealousy in your eyes as you observe him—then comes to sit on the concrete stair next to you.
He gently points out that he knows you well enough to detect a lie. Especially an unconvincing lie like that. You give a noncommittal hum in reply. That’s all you have the energy for.
He wraps an arm around your shoulders, letting you slump against his side. Your head leans against his shoulder. His other arm comes up to stroke your head for a moment, then drops down again to take your hand.
In a small, tired voice, you thank him. He gives your hand a gentle squeeze in reply.
Eventually he adjusts you so he can hold you more comfortably. Every so often he kisses the top of your head, or rubs your shoulder, or squeezes your hand, or says something quietly to you. Pointing out a interesting leaf shape, telling you something inconsequential about his day, prompting you to look when one of the cats does something cute, reminding you that he loves you and it’s okay to feel like this. That he enjoys your company no matter what mood you’re in.
This helps a lot more. Eventually you have enough energy to reply to him in full sentences! He’s visibly relieved at that. Still, he continues to hold you.
It’s after this point that a different cat comes up to you. It sniffs your shoelace then rubs itself against your leg. It flops over your shoe, stretching adorably with its little paws reaching up. It looks up at you all wide-eyed and cute, and finally you give a short puff of a laugh. Satan feels it more than hears it, but still!! He feels successful!
You pet this cat as it stands up and sniffs at your free hand. You look at it with a little smile. There’s a bit more soul in this smile, to Satan’s relief.
Later, as the two of you are leaving, he slips the cat a treat and whispers a thank you to it. Then he takes your hand again and leads you back home.
(He makes a mental note to himself for next time: pet the sad human first!! Then go see the cats!)
_______
Asmo:
Asmo notices that you’re having one of those days today, and he rushes to spoil you. Like Mammon, his first instinct is to take you shopping—but specifically for clothes and makeup and skincare products. Stuff that would cheer him up.
But you’re tired, and he understands that. It’s okay, he still knows what to do!
Asmo brings you into his room. You curl up in a sad, tired lump on his bed. He lets you chill there while he gathers up the stuff he wants.
He returns to you with his arms full of stuff! Nail polish, face masks, a hairbrush, moisturizer and hair oil, etc etc. Stuff for taking care of you.
He makes a point of only doing stuff that doesn’t sting at all. No plucking eyebrows or messing with your cuticles or anything like that. Just the stuff that feels nice.
Asmo quietly chatters about people he knows and stuff he’s used and whatever the latest gossip he’s heard is. Not even really to inform you this time, because he knows you’re probably not gonna remember much when you’re like this, but more to provide you with a constant, grounding backdrop of his familiar voice.
He speaks softly to you as he wipes your face with cleanser and then proceeds with his skincare process. He gently brushes your hair, spending twice as long as necessary just because it feels nice. He insists you don’t bother to move as he sits next to you and paints your nails.
At some point he runs out of stuff to do, so he ends up just brushing over your face with a clean makeup brush. No product on it at all, he’s just doing it to make you relax, because it’s soft and it feels nice. It’s meditative, honestly. For both of you.
He spends a good long while doing that.
He finishes up and lies down next to you. He pulls you into a cuddle. You offer to return the favour for him. Do his skincare and hair and nails and stuff for him, spoil him back—because he deserves the best.
For the first time ever, he declines. He shushes you and holds you tighter. This is the only situation in which he would ever refuse that!
He says you’re more than welcome to return the favour tomorrow if you like, but for now he just wants you to rest. He did all that for you to get you in this relaxed state you’re in right now, don’t get up and un-relax yourself so fast! Keep your brain turned off! It’s good for you sometimes!
… yes, Asmo is surprised by his own selflessness too—more surprised than you are by now, knowing him. He’s always been selfless for your sake since you first became his friend. It still surprises him though.
_______
Beel:
Beel is your best guy for validation. For quiet, thoughtful, unwavering support. He’s a lot more insightful than he’s often given credit for. He’s one of the best people in this family in terms of emotional intelligence, no question about it.
He knows just what to do. He observes you as the day goes on, taking the first opportunity to pull you aside and check on you without any others around. Just to make absolutely sure there’s nothing else going on.
His voice is soft, his hands are gentle, and he puts effort into understanding you. You’re family, he loves you so much! So of course he would.
He’ll share his food with you of course—both because he wants you to know that he loves you that much, and because he’s trying to remove a task from your to-do list. You don’t have to think about getting food and preparing it and any of that if he just. Does it for you. You can spend your very limited energy elsewhere.
He’ll take you with him on his routine walk, just so you can have a change of scenery and an opportunity to chat uninterrupted.
He listens to you complain about being outside with his characteristic placid sympathy—a combination that would be a bit contradictory if it came from anyone else, but somehow makes perfect sense for Beel. It’s soothing. Reassuring, somehow. He helps a lot, just by being himself.
When you inevitably run out of energy—much quicker than you usually do, but you expected that—he offers to carry you. Or rather, he automatically goes to do it on muscle memory, because that’s just what he does with tired loved ones (Belphie usually). He catches himself and realizes he should ask first in this case. Just to make sure. He’s considerate like that.
You are very tired… and you want contact. So of course you accept the offer. How could you refuse when he offers so earnestly?
He walks in measured, consistent steps as he carries you. The sway of his movement is deliberately relaxing. He’s trying to lull you into a meditative haze, or maybe put you to sleep. Either is good, he thinks.
The warmth of him makes the… everything about being outside when you’re feeling this way a lot more tolerable. The sounds of his footsteps, his breaths, his heartbeat… all of that drowns out the background noise just enough. Your face is pressed into his jacket, so the streetlights don’t stab your eyes and all the distressingly inconsistent outside smells are entirely covered by the spices-aromatics-soap scent of Beel. It’s a smell you know very well, and the familiarity of it is grounding.
Everything about him is grounding, really. He really did know exactly what to do.
At the end of the day… it’s okay if you don’t smile. He would like you to, of course, but he will meet you where you’re at. Anyway, it’s more important to him that you feel like it’s safe to show however it is you actually feel around him. He understands the amount of trust that takes, and he’s honoured by it. Nothing is more important to him than that trust.
So, you don’t have to smile. It’s okay.
Don’t be strong, he tells you. There’s no need, for now. Just let him. Rest, lean on his strength—he’s got more than enough for both of you. He’s got you. He’s not going anywhere.
_______
Belphie:
Oh, you’re tired? A bit sad, a bit grouchy? Damn. Looks like even HE has more energy than you today. That’s not something he sees often! Well, that’s fine. He knows what to do.
It’s straight to baby jail with you!
In his arms, that is. In bed, surrounded by his best pillows, covered by the least warm heavy blanket he has, so you won’t overheat but will still feel nice and covered.
He positions you so you’re facing each other, with your head tucked under his chin. So you have room to comfortably breathe and talk, but your face is still as covered as possible so you won’t be bothered by any lights.
Emotional intelligence may not be Belphie’s strong suit, but he is observant and he understands exhaustion. This may not exactly be the usual kind of exhaustion, but still! There’s no demon better equipped to understand what’s going on with you right now, just by nature.
He’s totally fine with cuddling you in silence if you don’t feel like talking. That really works for him, actually, because it allows him to nap.
Not that he doesn’t WANT to listen to you. He does. He’d be happy to. But he gets it if you don’t wanna bother with that. It’s okay.
He will, however, delay taking a nap until you doze off first. He just wants to make sure you’re okay. He’s not about to just fall asleep and abandon you if you still need attention.
If you’re not falling asleep very fast, he will help. Not with magic, surprisingly. He’s being more… gentle, he supposes, than that in this situation.
He talks quietly about nothing important. The soft drone of his voice, kept consistent and deliberately soporific, melts into your brain like butter, slowing it way down. Blocking everything else out. Gradually turning it off. One hand rubs your back slowly, almost as if to match the rhythm of his voice.
It’s so relaxing. You feel like you could stay like this forever and never want to move, you’re that comfortable.
Belphie knows what he’s doing.
It works really well! He makes sure you feel loved and cared for, then makes sure you get some extra rest. Mental and physical recharging.
Of course, you wake up feeling a lot better. Maybe not entirely back to your normal self yet, but definitely better. How could you not?
You’re a lot less tired after you’ve slept, and less sad too… so he’s succeeded—but you’re still not smiling!
He can fix that, right?
He lets you get up and stretch first, of course. He does the same. Before you leave the room though, he wraps you up in another hug.
He pulls back to examine your face after a minute or two.
Hmm… you look comfy, but still no smile! He can’t have that! So he hugs you tightly again, but this time his fingers start to lightly poke and brush over your sides. He’s trying to force you to smile by tickling you. He’s not gonna do too much, he’s not trying to overwhelm you. He stops as soon as you crack a smile.
There we go, he says as he gives you one last gentle squeeze. That was all he wanted, he tells you.
He doesn’t let go of you for long, over the rest of the day. Always holding your hand, giving you random hugs, draping himself over your shoulders—but without making you take all his weight for once, because he knows you’re still kinda tired. Enough of it to be soothing, but no more. Just so you don’t get lonely. He doesn’t want you to get all sad again.
If you do get sad again though, it’s okay. He will squish the sadness out of you all over again, as many times as you need. He doesn’t mind.

I know that I’ve touched on the harassment that people are getting for posting theories about Tech being alive, but there is another element that I believe we should discuss: the fact that the harassment is being disproportionately lobbed at autistic fans. Now, I’m not trying to imply that all of the people leaving these nasty comments are sitting around thinking about how much they hate autistic people, but whether they realize it or not, the types of posts that they tend to leave nasty comments on tend to be posts made by people displaying what might be autistic traits. In fact, a lot of posts that have these harassing comments are made by people who make it no secret that they are autistic and sometimes even mention it in their bio.
So what do I mean when I say that a lot of these posts may hint at OP being autistic? For starters, autistic brains tend to latch onto things with a great deal of intensity, and sometimes our brains latch onto specific fictional characters. We know logically that these characters are not real and that there are objectively more important things to worry about, but our brains simply do not care. Focused autistic interests are a source of a lot of comfort and stability for us in a world that is often overwhelming, and they are important to us as a result. A lot of the people dogging the Tech posts seem to take issue with how “obsessed” people are with the character and his survival, which in some cases, is due to OP simply being autistic and having a focused interest.
Another trait that can manifest in autistic people is difficulty with emotional regulation, meaning that even “small” things can make us more upset than our peers. The people leaving harassing replies seem to have picked up on the fact that people are “too emotional” over a fictional character and sometimes even make their replies extra graphic (ie. “he’s rotting at the bottom of the chasm”, “he’s flesh paste”) in order to get a rise out of the OP. Obviously, not everyone who makes posts like these or has these challenges is autistic, but I believe that my point still stands that going after people with these traits will cause autistic people to be disproportionately targeted, which is an ableist pattern.
Sometimes, however, the harassment feels more intentionally targeted at autistic fans. A lot of Tech fans really value Tech as autistic representation and feel like killing him off in our current popular culture environment where a fair chunk of autistic portrayals are negative is in poor taste. The “Tech is dead, get over it” harassers blatantly ignore or ridicule these statements, showing zero empathy to the people who feel seen because of this character. I have seen people bulldoze into posts where autistic fans talk about how much they hope he survives because they see themselves in him with comments like “he’s dead, get over it.” In one instance, I saw an allistic fan tell an autistic fan that Tech was “forced diversity” and that if Disney was going to attempt autistic representation, then the character shouldn’t be “boring” like Tech. I don’t think I really need to explain why this is inappropriate.
It’s fine to disagree with a popular fan theory or debate about it in good faith with someone who is up to it, but what I am seeing goes well beyond that. Harassment is never, ever okay, and you should know better than to leave replies like the ones in these screenshots below when you see a fan theory that you don’t agree with.

Round 1 of preliminaries, group 15
Tumblr media
The first two places get a place on the bracket
Little reminder: there will be 2 more rounds of preliminaries, the losing blorbos of this poll still have 2 chances of getting in the official bracketPropaganda under the cut
Wen Kexing (Tian Ya Ke / Faraway Wanderers)
"Author: so theres this OP cannibal murderer who's a huge homosexual and has a dissociative disorder... Me, completely ignoring the OP cannibal murderer part: wow a huge homosexual with a dissociative disorder, hes just like me fr!!!!"
Homura Akemi (Puella Magi Madoka Magica)
No Propaganda
Nico di Angelo (Percy Jackson Series)
"gay (canon), trans (not canon but very popular headcanon), autistic (implied), depressed (canon), emo, and separated and left out by all his peers"
Heinz Doofenshmirtz (Phineas and Ferb)
"I too believe I am a threat but am a minor inconvenience at best."
Reki Kyan (Sk8 the Infinity)
"Sighs dramatically. Everything about him is just like me Fr I just. He’s an artist who gets excited over his art but nobody is as excited as him so he gets shut down a lot. He gets worried that his friends are gonna leave him behind because he’s not as good as them at skating. He self isolates after a fight and avoids his friends like the plague despite them only wanting to help. It takes him talking sense into SOMEONE ELSE for him to realize he doesn’t need to be good at what he does, he just needs to have fun doing what he’s passionate about."
q!Quackity (QSMP)
"No bitches. Just so bitchless it's sad. He fumbles every single bad bitch he's tried to bag. His good buddy that he clearly had some romantic feelings for? Sure he flirts with him, but he flirts with everyone and is lowkey not interested because he likes somebody else. Doesn't matter, he has two other guys he's into, and it looks like they might be into him! They both fuck off out of existence, one to become an entire different entity even. OK WELL YOU KNOW WHAT? There's this NEW guy who is interesting and good looki- Oh, the best friend from the beginning? Already dating him. And they're planning on getting MARRIED, how wonderful!!! good for them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well one of the guys that left just MIGHT come back!!!! So he sticks to that hope and becomes obsessed. So much so that when the guy comes back your friends tell him how obsessed with him you are and he's like 'uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'. He just takes Ls left and right, not only in love, but on EVERYTHING. He has so many issues and is so tragic and his way of understanding relationships is so bad and is such a loser, just like me!!"

When i was almost entierly friendless and lost in myself,lesbians and trans women gave me their friendship in the form of kind words,support,defending me,making things for me they knew i'd love,fun hangouts and did and have done nothing but make me love myself in my transmasculine and nonbinary/bigender girlhood even when i don't know them and are the type of woman i relate the most to like i do my fellow black women and i'm now dating a trans woman who was my best friend for a long time and stuck by me through stick and thin and i love them-they are pre op and e and have specifically asked for they/them until they can start their transition-with my entire heart,soul and life because they were exactly the person,the kinda girl i could've used in my life as a bullied autistic tomboy that was getting fucked up without even knowing it and i deeply admire my lesbian friends femme and butch alike for their amazing gender expression and how beautiful their love is and they've said the same about me
Lesbians and transfems are not hateful.They're wonderful people who're full of so much love and just because with the exception of my girlfriend that love's not romantic that dosen't make it any less valuable and you 'interfighting is stupid,we're supposed to be having t4t sex!!!' niggas need to lower your borderning on sexual harrassing voices because you sound like creepy douchebags and like conservatives too when you rag on 'f*mboys',a tma slur to begin with,for being too feminine and kiddy and cringe or whatever rethoric you haven't unlearned.If a lesbian or a trans girl dosen't like you,there's a very high chance you did something to provoke them or him or her or xem or [insert the neopronoun that will piss you off the most here]and you might've done it on purpose.The patriarchy dosen't stop at cishets and it's worth noting that pretty much all my trans guy friends are somewhere on the nonbinary spectrum.Don't be talkin' bout lesbians and tgirls being too harsh on men and having 'male experiences to analyze' at all actually,because you're implying a lot that never applies
If you want to be as much of a man as cis men,then you be prepared for the fact that you're as capable as misogyny as them,ESPECIALLY if you're cis passing and i never will be because i'm so femme presenting and naturally adrogynous looking thanks to being black/white that i find my looks perfect for my gender and i'm still a man just as i am a woman.Lesbians don't have fuck men to be 'real allies' and you can't make them the bad guy for not wanting men if you get to the good guy for not wanting to be near girlhood at all and unless they wish to be identified as such by multigenderhood or another factor,trans women have every right to not want to be lumped in with men or lack of gender at all.Intersectionality is very important.In all aspects.Not just when it might benefit you.Be serious just silly goofy little guys,you haven't been funny since you started that shit and i'm going to strap you to a Looney Tunes car unless you stop telling lesbians to stop defining themselves by not loving men and bullying tgirls for loving being girls.Those are my best friends and my girlfriend and my friends' friends you're harrasing you ungrateful cunts

So, we have a LOT of gripes with this post but more just want to address then individually without giving the OP any harassment so:
Tumblr media
These first and second paragraphs is fine honestly, we won't tell people how they should feel about their own experiences.
The problem starts at the next part where OP starts trying to tell people how they should feel about their own brain.
--------
Also we just REALLY need to get this out of the way woth no other comments —
"We don't label [implied word is diagnose] personality types"
LMAO try saying that to uhhhh — *checks notes* — people with PERSONALITY DISORDERS.
--------
People who generally live life functionally but who every now and then are reminded that they’re disabled and need help in very specific situations. Like somebody who doesn’t struggle much socially and who doesn’t need supports at school or work but who sometimes doesn’t have as much energy for doing the dishes because they’re exhausted from living as an autistic person in an allistic world.
Did you know that therapists require a diagnosis to see literally anyone, ever? At least in the United States?
By your logic the neurotypical idea that "nobody is normal" actually exists. Why is someone who goes to a therapist and is forced to get like, let's just say a depression diagnosis for the ease of thos conversation. Why are they allowed to get that diagnosis, do the therapy, then consider themselves completely neurotypical but an autistic person isn't allowed to do that?
Please make that make sense.
And if you didn't realize everyone who's ever gone to a therapist loses their neurotypical card and is lying to you (using YOUR OWN LOGIC these people would be lying/faking neurotypicality) then don't worry about that! We didn't know that either until this year.
Anyways, that leaves us two options: either everyone is disabled or these people are allowed to choose their neurotypes in spite of the system labeling them otherwise. We sincerely hope why you realize the former is more shitty and we do not have to explain to you even bodily autonomy you don't like is still an inalienable right.
--------
So if you’re like me, please don’t speak over higher support needs people. Recognise that, if you can generally live independently, you are lower support needs than a LOT of others.
Is this about the assholes who went "waaah!! Don't call yourselves nonverbal!!! You share the same brainbody!!!" yes and as a plural system, we are still DIFFERENT PEOPLE. SOME OF US ARE NONVERBAL AND CANNOT SPEAK WHEN FRONTING WITHOUT ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE FROM ANOTHER HEADMATE. SOME OF US HAVE TO BODY DOIBLE EACH OTHER JUST TO GET THE DISHES DONE YOU DESCRIBED IN THIS POST.
YES WE DO STILL HOLD A JOB TAKIMG PHONE CALLS. BECAUSE THE VARIETY OF AUTISTICS IN OUR HEAD MAKES. IT. SO. WE. ARE. COLLECTIVELY. NON-DISORDERED.
We may be endogenic, but we would still not, in any way, survive the world as a singlet. We are low support needs on a fucking technicality because they confirmed us as an autistic person when the brainody was two!!!
Just because you do not benefit from a purely social model of disability doesn't mean there are autistics who straight up wouldn't have issues anymore if people just..accepted them and society in general was less shitty.
The ONLY!! WAY!!! We have seen this kind of statement be used is to gatekeep people like us who try to describe their experiences of plurmisia and its intersectionality with ableism.
We are a non-disordered autistic collectively with specific members in our system who ARE in fact disordered autistics. The only reason we don't have people who describe themselves as neurotypicals in this system is very specifically because they do indeed feel a change in them when they arrive here.
Yes! We are a lot lower in support needs! To the point we do not consider ourselves such! Because of our multiplicity. Not because our autism "isn't that bad" or anything like that.
------
TLDR:
Stop fucking telling people how to feel about their own experiences.
If youre trying to gatekeep what we think you are trying ro gatekeep, you're an asshole and need to stop. Maybe we are just lucky, who knows, but we have NEVER seen this kind of sentiment occur in a way that does not have an undercurrent of plurmisia and/or other ableism.
You can in fact be a nondisordered diagnosed person. It happens all of the time, otherwise therapists as an institution couldn't exist lmao.
Additionally, as far as we are concerned, there are, in fact, situations you can be simultaneously non-disordered and disordered.
How about you follow the advice you said to everyone else, and not tell no-support and low-support autistics how to feel about their experiences? You're a fucking hypocrite OP!
Someone or somesys with more experience analyzing this kind of thing from a mad pride lens and/or a bodily autonomy lens is absolutely free to add onto this but we're just. Tired. And also kinda we have to be at work in likeeee 10 to 20 minutes.

Angsty Twin Headcanon Time
Just some angsty Vax & Vex headcanons from my fanon!
(warning! this post includes implied self-harm, referenced child abuse, referenced transphobia, referenced ableism & implied SA)
Vax and Vex hate certain things about each other, some that remind them of their parents in one way or another and others that just leave them heartbroken -
Vex has their father's anger, shouting and hitting things when she gets really pissed off - sometimes Vax will put himself in her way on purpose so she only hurts him while she rages.
Vax goes all distant and shuts down verbally when he gets angry, keeping it to himself and bottling it all up until he eventually explodes, usually hurting himself in some way to try & keep his anger in check.
Vex is very unaffectionate and even pushes Vax away when he tries to hug her, not because she hates affection but because she's scared of being weak and letting down her guard.
Vax is quite stubborn and doesn't care for the rules, doing whatever he wants when he wants to, just like their father used to do - he often ends up hurt as a result, that or arrested.
Vex looks almost exactly like Elaina did and always complains about it - It's something that just breaks Vax's little "momma's boy" heart every time she does.
Vax (a trans man) looks a lot like a younger and more feminine presenting Syldor & he hates that a lot - Vex does too, but she could never tell Vax that.
Vex bad mouths Elaina for not trying harder to save the twins from Syldor, but Vax knows that she just uses it as front to actually bad mouth herself.
Vax is loyal to a fault, ready to die for anyone who is even the remotest bit nice to him even just once.
Vex trusts nobody at all and only worries about herself, Vax, Trinket, and her closest of friends.
Vax has learning disabilities such as dyslexia and dyscalculia, being autistic and ocd (not op projecting at all), and this has caused people to get frustrated with him a lot to the point of fights and arguments.
Vex is also autistic and ocd, but masks rather heavily out of shame that her father instilled in her.
Vax is Rudiusborn and has been having night terrors since he was born. Since they were 10 and moved into separate rooms, he's always ran to wake Vex in search of comfort after a dream wakes him up - Vex won't tell him but she really wishes he'd stop it.
Both twins are bisexual and demiromantic with sexual trauma, but Vex is hyper sexual while Vax is sexually repulsed. They don't know this about each other and even believe each other to be the exact opposite.
When Vax first came out as trans, Vex didn't react well because she saw how much it angered Syldor - even now she still feels some residual anger as a very small part of her believes Vax coming out is what made Syldor get as abusive as he was.
Vax blames Vex for their mother's death, though he'd never tell her this - he thinks that if Vex hadn't forced them to stay in Syngorn for so long, they could have reunited with Elaina before Byroden was destroyed by Thordak, as if Thordak would never have went near Byroden had they went home first.
Vax hates being called Scrawny, and Vex hates being called Stubby, but they both endure the others' nickname for them because they know that they're not maliciously intended or anything.
Vex knows Vax was Clasp because of her and hates herself for it very deeply.
Vax knows Vex lied about how she found Trinket, but he doesn't want to upset her by asking for the truth about what happened to give her the scar over her right eye.

Talking about my autistic headcanons part 1 out of ???
(shit on my headcanons, get blocked. I mean it.)
Luffy:
He canonically has a samefood, meat. Other characters have foods they like and are associated with, but not nearly to the same degree as Luffy and his meat.
He also canonically says the same thing every time he picks up a den den mushi (phone for non fans). Reads like a social script to me!
He always admits he's going to be the pirate king, even at times where it may be better to hide it! He also never changes up his wording while doing this. (Most OP characters don't, but he is the most obvious about it so sssh)
His logic and thought process are considered very unpredictable in-universe.
In the orangetown arc, there is one scene where Nami thinks "don't tell them we are pirates" and he just immediately goes and says it. Big mood for me.
He also never considered that he had a father before his grandfather brought it up to him. That seems like the exact same thing I also overlook, tbh.
That being said, I headcanon him as a big hand flapper. I further headcanon that because of his devil fruit power, he is able to move his arms in ways nobody else can. Strangers that don't know about his fruit find it very uncanny valley.
He has 100% unintentionally hit one of his nakama while handflapping. "Sorry Zoro."
He's also a big pacer. I don't make the rules.
Autism is 100% a known thing in the OP universe I decided. Law and Chopper imply that medicine is quite advanced, so I don't see why it wouldn't be.
That being said, Luffy never mentions he's autistic. When asked about some of his symptoms, he just replies that thats something he does. He isn't ashamed, he just doesn't get what the big deal is. Somebody looks at his medical records for reasons, and he's like "yeah. Didn't you know?"
Extremely sensory seeking. Will do anything to have a new sensory experience.
Special Interests in piracy and bug collecting!

I don’t know if you play honkai star rail or know anything about it but on the game dev’s own social media app (which is pretty much unmoderated unless you post leaks/adult content and full of people who can’t read/are puritans) someone took a screenshot where two characters were having a conversation that implied they were dating
one of the involved characters looks child like, although in game that specific race is mentioned to be just short adults (Pepeshi)
Although OP didn’t say anything, I’m guessing they were implying that the relationship was wrong 🙈
Honestly the only reason I use HYlab at all is because I use the check in function for the company’s games.
And unfortunately the garbage app is designed so that “hot posts” with a lot of engagement are featured even if you switch to a different tab, it’ll just revert back to showing the most controversial posts
LORD That sucks, It's frustrating when social media is basically designed to get people into arguments. Also the whole " minor-coded " thing is so fucking dumb and almost always an excuse to shit on afab people with small breasts, short people, or autistic people.
" Omg this character acts like a child! " Are they acting like a child or are they acting in a way that you perceive as not typical for an adult, because I have news for you! A lot of autistic people are called childish for the same reasons.

Going Through All the Mastermind Gin Arguments on TVTropes
Only I get progressively more and more ridiculous as the arguments begin to break me.
Tumblr media
Incorrect! We see Gin get pulled to the ceiling in Chapter 3 as a result of magnets in the collar. He DOES have a collar.
Tumblr media
It *must* be important? Really? There's no way this is a funny gag. None. Come on, you can do better than that. The idea of little kids using adults/older siblings as toys to play with isn't even uncommon, how many gags are there of little girls dressing up their fathers in fancy outfits to play tea party? This doesn't hold weight.
Tumblr media
"He's suspicious because he's not suspicious!" That's what this argument boils down to.
Tumblr media
?????? What on earth is this trying to argue??? Gin can die in the game so he must be dying for the game? Sara can die in the game too? Most of these deaths are mini game game overs, and you can get gin as a partner often in these. You know who else you can often get as a partner? The other characters who have personal info available.
Tumblr media
1: I can't believe "A child didn't talk about going into the next grade while he's in a murder game where he could die" is actually listed as reason why he's secertly an evil mastermind. You know what, you're so close. Maybe the reason Gin doesn't expect to graduate to middle school is because he could die! In this murder game. That he's trapped in. Like everyone else. Come on...
2: That's a joke my guy! That is a joke about attractive men who flirt with a lot of women being referred to as "Lady Killers"! If anything its foreshadowing about Megumi, but it's not an implication on Gin's part unless you're reaching. Midori calls him a lady killer as a reference, and to unsettle the audience by implying he's been watching the whole time.
Tumblr media
This is the only one I don't have a solid rebuttal to, I admit. Gin sure does respond with ellipses. Does that mean he's secretly an evil mastermind? I.. still don't see this as being anything to make a case on, but I will concede this one. One point.
Tumblr media
before we go any further, I wanna say that Op is in fact trans, alright? okay.
...
Tumblr media
Top ten reasons Gin is seceretly evil and killed over a dozen people: he maybe kind of misgendered a guy, possibly we're not sure.
Tumblr media
Nope it's just a child playing with a toy. It really could be that simple. I won't rule out that there's something hidden within Mew-chan, but somehow I doubt an entire fucking human head has just been chilling in there for several days and no one has commented on the smell, and it's somehow not leaked any fluids which would stain the plush.
"This 12 year old is: *Procceds to list off autistic traits*! Clearly they're trying to avoid suspicion!"
This is the part of the analysis where I stop and give up.

pondering. i'm never leaving tumblr due to spite and sunk cost fallacy but i am realizing The Disc Horse [tm] has been getting to me as of late. you guys have seen my near-obsessive posting about the current wave of hostility against SA survivors (hell, it's why my last account got nuked) and every single day I see people reblogging innocent-seeming posts that, with the most cursory search of op's blog, always turn out to have sinister intentions.
Despite my better judgement at this point I've stopped telling people all the time because I already spent my middle school years being known as Basil The Fun Ruiner, Basil Here To Inform You Why Your Fave Is Problematic [Like, Slurs And Abuse Allegations Problematic], Basil Sending You An Ask Informing You Op Of That Last Post You Reblogged Is Basically The Spawn Of Satan. i quite literally hate to be the bearer of bad news. it's exhausting.
or, like. lgbt infighting that makes me want to tear my hair out. rampant biphobia. misandry truthers out in full force like it's 2014. posts unironically implying being Some Guy Not Really Interested In Relationships makes you more oppressed than actually being a gay person. Aren't you guys stressed??? Don't you guys see this stuff and physically feel your blood pressure spike?????? Don't you feel terrified for future generations????????????
trying to think. i feel like ive made a lot of these points before, i'm talking in circles. Keep making the same posts over and over. I know I have a doomscrolling problem and I think part of it is like, autistic exaggerated sense of justice and highly specific black and white moral code. I have literally lain awake at night thinking about people who are wrong on the internet. Because, like... that's a real person! Who is awful! And then they GO OUT INTO THE REAL WORLD and I can't STOP them.
This was always a bad website but it feels like its gotten worse as of late. A lot worse. like. fucking nightmarishly worse.

I saw your comments on a post of why Leona gets more hate than Vil, and I can only say:
You majesty spoke ✨FACTS✨
Asker = you❖OP = original poster of the topic
Thank you, I don't want to assume, anyone else or you the asker, to assume the worse in the OP poster.
Don't witch hunt them:
I am just going to make a post like they said.
This is mainly aimed at them but I am just trying to get my points across
This was about why Leona gets more hate than Vil.
They said themselves but I think they had a different meaning for what they said. But they said it badly.
Main critical points was mostly why people brought up racism
The evidence of fandom mistreatment
How they formatted it was badly if they wanted just a "Leona vs Vil"
How in general darker skin characters in comparison are mistreated with others outside of ND.(similar but different topic)
How Leona and Vil got same cannon treatment but not Fandom treatment. Not just fandom "opinion"
I tried talking to them in the DMs after they consented to talking there and I ended there as requested by op when they asked after we give our two pieces.
I wanted to talk in the DMs but it was a mess, I did try waiting for them until they were done chating and I believe they did so too.
But it was still hard.
Just to clear up things Vil and Leona is my favorite characters.
But I am Ace trappola and Trey fan at heart.
I'm also Black and Autistic.
I took debate classes that talk about formatted arguments.
I been in the fandom a long time.
I am not the best but I will try to lay out what I am saying.
I tried to give not give bias but everyone have bias.
Under the assumption they did talked with a lot of friends from different backgrounds.
Their intentions weren't racist or intentionally ignorant they just wanted a normal conversation.
I still do think that.
Although I do understand their intention wasn't to bring race and just wanted to compare Leona and Vil.
Defending people who likes Vil.
But I think they misinterpret the issue/debate/discussion and what it is about or what they implied by accident.
I did talked last night about how they formatted the argument badly and they didn't cut clear lines.
After they consented to being criticized.
I mention, if they didn't want to talk or debate about .
if it is racism or not they shouldn't really formatted the discussion like that.
Expressly it is clear, it is more to just finger pointing. Since there is nuance and history in this debate/fandom.
Let's get this out of the way, basically to a argument.
You need to clear up what you are arguing about.
Context to the topic
Person A arguments
Why they might think that why or have a explanation.
Your response w/evidence and reasoning
This fandom does have a history of racism/colorism outside of just characters.
"Belly dancing outfits" topic, Stereotypes of dark skin characters.
Discrimination in general.
I remember when a twst creator had blatantly said the R slur despite not being Autistic or disabled.
Leona vs Vil have been a topic for a long time at during the JP translation era
{where there wasn't any EN server yet}
So already there's a fair assumption that race could be at play in the Leona vs Vil.
I did not had time to say this because they cut me off saying "I don't see, eye to eye"
I just don't agree
Then of course the comments about in their own Original post sub-quoting:
"How it is more racist to assume that the person who likes vil is racist" -OP poster
"Why the fandom treats Leona different doesn't come from racism"
Which isn't really the point when people say the treatment of leona is unfair or discriminatory.
It isn't a petty response to Leona vs Vil, in fact the Leona vs Vil is unrelated.
To unfair treatment of Leona which is a different debate.
Which I think they mixed up multiple debates that happen over the years.
But still they still bringing it up.
I think they thought it was all just Leona vs Vil.
it is about the treatment of Leona in the fandom and how it comes from a general mistreatment of darker skin characters.
Despite many of the darker skin characters having the same growth and treatment in cannon.
𖠅
Let's start with Leona and Vil because it is easier since it started from Leona and Vil.
One of their points is that Leona "murder" was premeditated.
Vils wasn't:
Leona and Vil "attempted" murder of somebody.
Vil was mentally unstable but he did made the choice to actually commit murder, he would of continue if his friends didn't came along.
Leona did tried to stampede Malleus, but considering Malleus is a well known powerful fae, I believe his intention was to more than to injure Malleus like anyone else.
They did mention how Leona harmed his peers more but honesty both actions would of harmed their school/classmates.
Both would of ruined their and everyone reputation.
One would of been more physically if Malleus were to lash out.
One would of been more mentally and emotionally
Another point or group point they made: Is that Leona treats his peers badly.
Which is up to debate.
Although Leona does Laze around, he does pay Ruggie to do his job. Other than chapter 2 where he commit horrible crimes.
It doesn't effect anyone but mostly him. Also he is only rude whenever someone bother him first outside of chapter 2.
✎But he did many good stuff
{Spoilers}
He does donate his clothes to Ruggie.
He pays attention to his teamates to the point he gives personal gifts to his dormitory folks.
He literally sacrificed himself to the government police when abducted so Ruggie doesn't get hurt.
He let's Riddle lay on his limb to let Riddle rest.
He let's us stay in his dorm
He helped Vil during Fairy Gala, even though he did have a motivation he could of just let someone else do it.
He is shown to care just like Vil
✎Vil is like the same
Vil does help small businesses
Vil cares about his peers too to the point he will take time out of his day to adjust their clothing.
He can't help but to be critical, that's his love language.
He pays attention to the small things.
He is also appropriately affectionate.
Gives praise and gratitude.
But also:
He gives unwanted criticism
He is also physical with his peers sometimes.
He also gets on people outside his dormitory.
He literally stands back when someone else is getting physically hurted in his own leadership.
He lets Rook his vice harass other students of other races and let's Rook sometimes inappropriate touch other students.
He is unintentionally classist, he made comments about MC outfit despite their living conditions.
He also get on epels accent and dialect because it is too "incorrect".
He also doesn't really adjust to how his peers want to dress or present as their affirming gender.
Both of their cons
Both of theses guys will dip out when someone is in trouble.
But Leona mostly isn't in power majority of the time.
Vil is mostly is in power to do something.
⌨︎︎
The main difference between theses two is how their growth is shown, backstory and Lore.
Both got pros and cons
Otherwise their shouldn't be much of a race issue or difference.
ဗီူဗီူWhich is the main debate problemဗီူဗီူ
It isn't that people is overacting over a character comparison.
Is that OP you mention race multiple times in your argument, you mention that people had brought race into it.
You didn't say why they did.
Which is a important factor into formatting arguments to why people in the fandom not think that way.
Because there many people who act that way.
☄︎
OP said sub quoting this:
"I never seen people outright say I hate Leona for being dark skin"
People don't have to say "I hate Leona because he is black".
✎There's things called Micro aggressions and of course racial discrimination. Which I seen a lot of darker skin characters had that treatment not just Leona.
Because when you brought race into it OP you brought up the Colorism/Race issue.
Discrimination can be seen in
Whitewashing
Giving negative stereotypes to POC that harms our community
Removing any positive traits from the character and replacing them with stereotypes.
Removing representation
I faced a lot of Micro aggressions:
Ex: Just chopping up a argument is just people "overacting". Also combining multiple two seperate debates about treatment of characters with the fandom(A) vs with a character comparison(B) .
Despite the Nuances and multiple meaning in Debate A.
It is unfair and not good to do that because you are brushing off vaild feelings with evidence.
I have seen, like I said earlier.
"Belly dancer outfits" or negitive Orientalist ideas
@gwaaaaar who worded this perfectly ▼
"Its unfortunate that foreign culture is seen as so distant that sometimes it gets sexualized"
Although there's appreciation, there is sometimes fetish-ation.
But also there's the:
✂ Aggressive black male stereotype
🜲 The predatory South East Asians/Black males
𖠌 The fetishism from the fandom of the Romani character from the Disney movie with "Hunchback" character.
𖢘Romanticism of Rook fetishism towards other minority coded characters.
𖠈Sometimes with Native people too I seen stereotypes.
-
Leona falls into thoses mistreatments so it isn't just "different opinion".
It could be, I don't deny it.
Expressly when you combine two seperate discussions.
OP you will have theses responses, when you ignore it or don't address it.
Your points will be chop up to bias OP if you don't put a line what this debate is about.
You could of just say Leona vs Vil and end it right there OP.
It makes spaces this unsafe and when fandom actively ignore poc people. Wording it like that makes it unclear who is your target audience, or what you are arguing against.
This could clearly come off as, any racial criticism towards how a fandom treats two different characters is wrong and just opinionated based.
By the why you worded it.
Rook does gets better treatment than Leona.
Despite Leona getting harrassed by Rook even stating himself he doesn't want to be compared to being "wild".
Leona being intelligent and skillful as Vil.
Leona being caring towards people he is close with.
Leona gets reduce to being a lazy asshole that isn't thoughtful, jealous will take you away from friends, is physically/emotionally abusive, and is a "alpha male".
Despite not how male lions act like for one
How literally he is said to respect woman.
Rook despite stalking and touching without permission, being more physically active, despite making off comments, despite criticizing his friend at the worse moment, despite also pushing it sometimes, and despite not being consentful respecting people wishes.
He gets more soft stories, he doesn't really get framed as gaslighting or doesn't get as much toxic stories as Leona or Jamil.
He doesn't have aggressive words used on him during text, unlike Leona or Jamil.
Main reason why I am using Rook as a example, and not the Leech twins/Kalim because leech twins are ND coded a lot of discrimination for the Leech twins happens there.
With often they are babied or seen as less functional.
Rook really isn't, you can say Rook is ND coded with how he "hyper fixated" on the characters he harrassed.
Saying this lightly
But mental illness isn't a excuse for bad behavior always.
More of a explanation.
Rook is functional to think, breath, and make decisions, in fact babying him because of it is bad.
Like Kalim made harmful mistakes but he understands and tries to improve from it.
Rook been told off multiple times for his and he still continues.
See how Rook is way more aggressive than Leona and still gets better treatment. Vil is on the same level as Leona and still gets the better treatment.
I'm not saying people cant have opinions, but sometimes thoses opinions harm others.
It can lead to unwelcoming spaces to poc. If you word stuff just "Leona vs Vil".
Like people could like a game/fandom and be critical. A fandom is a diverse and wide area of demographic of people, there's bound to be people who dislike Leona or Vil.
Theres bound to be people who is intentionally or unintentionally discriminatory.
But you cannot say the fandom treatment is just only "different opinion".
it is too wide and too vague that to the point where it completely hurts POC when they give vaild critical points.
You did say there's different opinions OP but OP that also means there's people who I listed who display Colorism or Racism.
You could accidentally vaildate thoses harmful ideologies.
I'm going to leave Comments on and Asks on for people who wants to continue discussion, critical advice or wants to give me points.
Otherwise have a Nice day asker @therezabravo and thank you for the compliment.

Sorry for sending this message twice but I was still groggy from my sleep meds when I sent the first message and I’m worried that I might have been incoherent. I love your response to that “neurotypical feminism post”. Like the way they positioned experiences with street harassment as some privileged thing only non-disabled women deal with was disgusting. I’m an autistic woman (I do identify as nonbinary but I’m afab and femme presenting) and while I’ve only experienced street harassment once that one time was extremely traumatic and I just can’t believe anyone would frame that as a form of privilege (or imply disabled women don’t experience harassment because what???)
Don't worry, it was perfectly coherent ^-^ (I'll reply to this one since you say some of the same, with additional information).
First of all, I'm sorry that happened to you. It can leave you feeling so furious and so powerless. That's what makes it so despicable to me.
That part of the post in particular was SO DAMN ENRAGING. If I cared to be generous I'd guess OP (or the bnf with the anxiety comment, for that matter) was saying something on the vein of, "we need to understand different women might experience different brands of misogyny, because women are different and misogyny has one (1) goal: screwing us all; and in order to get that, it adapts!"
But she used the term "hit on". That immediately put me on edge and I wasn't feeling too generous xDD
I've suffered various forms of street harassment in my life and the idea that not being on the receiving end of it could be a bad thing... gtfo of here lmao. Like I mentioned in that reply it's been a while since I've received the most "conventional" form (it hasn't saved me from the others!). But you know when it was that it happened last?
It was about three winters ago, right Before Covid TM. I had my unwashed hair all underneath a hat, baggy pants that are (and look!) over a decade old, and a bulky coat that goes down to my knees as I went to the grocery store for a snack. Oh, and get this: it was from the time my knee was really fucking me up. SO I WAS OUT WITH A FUCKING CANE, LOOKING LIKE A BALD BLACK BLOB WITH A STICK THAT VERY MUCH MADE ME "VISIBLY DISABLED". Did that stop the drunk 40+yo man from telling me exactly how he wanted to fuck me? Sure as fuck didn't. At least I had something at hand to beat him with if he'd decided to cross the line (+ I had pepper spray in my pocket. That purchase has given me a lot of peace of mind ngl).
I also remember the first time I was on the receiving end of street harassment. I was with two friends I stopped hanging out with not much later, so I must have been 9, 10yo at most. My friends were one year older than me, very blonde and very tall. My boobs had come early and they were not small. Apparently, these things meant these two 20yo guys from my hometown just HAD to follow us and comment on our bodies and just how bitchy all of us were for not meekly or graciously accepting their "compliments". The only reason I didn't leave this experience terrified is because of the circumstances (not being alone, small town where Someone Is Always Watching and you all know each other AND each other's family, which makes these men a tad more accountable than That Rando whistling at you in the city, ime).
Basically: street harassment is NOT ABOUT ATTRACTION. It's NOT a "compliment" about a woman's physical beauty. It's harassment. It's designed to terrorise you, plain and simple. Men will do it to children, like I was. They will do it to old women, to ugly women, to butch women, to Muslim women covered from head to toe... How you look can be the weapon used against you but it's not the point. They don't want to flirt with you or start a relationship with you or what have you. They want you scared and to "know your place". That's it.
This was never clearer to me than after covid's lockdown, btw. Here in Spain there was suddenly this fucking epidemic of harassment against women walking alone on the street, at any hour of the day. Masked, dressed plainly to do some basic errands, whatever. I guess confinement had left a lot of these men without the opportunity to terrorise women in this way and they were really itching for it rme (probably accompanied by a new progressive government implementing some laws they didn't like, I'm sure).

If anyone was wondering why I keep making posts criticizing the anti-psychiatry movement for erasing autistic people and being completely ignorant as to how brains work. It's because I keep seeing posts like this:
Tumblr media
"You are not autistic, you have symptoms of autism." So frustrating in so many ways. I am autistic and I'm tired honestly of both neurotypical and neurodivergent people trying to redefine that out of existence. I don't know if OP is autistic themself but I honestly don't care; if they are, they have some serious internalized ableism going on. Autism is not a nebulous collection of "symptoms" that can be changed around or, what this person seems to be implying, fixed. Autism is the condition of my brain from which my autistic traits come from. Same with adhd. They overlap because they are similar but these are real, physical attributes of the brain, which is an physical part of your body, much like the physical parts of your body that produce diabetes or cancer. (This is NOT to compare autism to cancer; just using their words.)
Not every psychological disorder functions the same way. Maybe they're thinking of depression, or OCD, or personality disorders, which exist as a collection of symptoms that develop throughout life. I was not born with OCD. I was born with autism, which my sibling has, and my dad has, and has mountains of evidence pointing towards it being a genetic, heritable condition. Just because doctors can't diagnose autism with a blood test doesn't mean it doesn't exist. My G-d.
Don't know how to tell this person that many physical conditions are diagnosed by... analyzing symptoms and seeing which predefined category you might fit in. Just as an example. Fibromyalgia has no known specific cause and is diagnosed exclusively by analyzing symptoms. Still very much a physical illness. :/

I can think of a way that doesn’t make me super uncomfortable. I love pushing fictional characters to the brink but not over the edge. The best part of angst is the recovery if you ask me (which if you're asking me to write, you are).

I do not like to share bed because I'm autiste and have some specific issues about bed and sheets (texture, numers of blankets, temperature, etc...)
No no I get that! I definitely get why some people wouldn't like sharing a bed, in fact my gf and I have separate beds and we go back and forth between sleeping together and separate bc we often need or own personal space, but I was more just baffled by the OP of that post kind of implying that obviously everyone secretly hates it or why would anyone like it. That "be honest everyone dislikes this thing you do as a couple" attitude which bugs me. Your (OP of the post) experiences are not universal etc.

I can't speak for op of that post but autism itself ISN'T solely a good thing. It's a disorder and a disability and while I'm happy for a lot of people who are comfortable being autistic, a lot of people are actively harmed by the symptoms that come with the disorder itself not just the social aspects of it and I think it's really unfair to act like it's always a gift for everyone who has it. I don't have to love something that makes it harder to live my life. I'm happy for you if you do, but I don't.
with respect, i don't agree with the categorization of autism as a 'disorder' to begin with. we are pathologized as disordered when compared to allistic people.
i never said autism itself was “solely a good thing”, i said i hoped the original poster meant ‘diagnosis isn’t always a good thing’ because autism itself is just autism. it’s not inherently good or bad. i didn’t disagree with most of that post. i disagreed with some of the wording, and had ideas i wanted to add in the tags. i wasn’t formulating a structured argument or anything. but, now that i am: 
i also never said that autism is always a gift, or implied that it is a gift at all. like, that’s straightup not what i said. my comment was about how an autism diagnosis is something i never wanted and didn’t need because all i got from it was trauma; what i needed were accommodations and i never got them. instead, i was put in “therapy” where i was dehumanized and trained like a dog for nine years of my life. and now i’m an autistic adult and i desperately wish i had some external support, but there is nothing and no one that can provide me with the support i need outside of the psychiatric system, which has done nothing but harm me. if allistics accepted and embraced autistic people, we wouldn’t be left in the ‘care’ of people who harass us, abuse us, and control us.
yes, i am comfortable being autistic. but my executive dysfunction frustrates me. i don’t enjoy having meltdowns. it took me my entire life before i began accepting myself as an autistic person, and all that entails.
it's not that we don't know how to communicate, it's that allistics lack the compassion to learn how to communicate with us without treating us like we're subhuman. it's not that we're "slow" learners, it's that allistics keep forcing us to learn things on their terms, at their pace, and in their learning styles instead of our own—and punishing us when we can't conform to their impossible standards. we have physical limitations that allistics either accuse us of faking, exaggerating, or they ignore our limitations completely and do nothing to meaningfully, non-judgmentally help us.
the world around us was built to hurt us for being autistic. it was built to make our lives hard by ableists. i’m not saying we wouldn’t still have frustrations and pain and hardship related to being autistic if all of the ableism around us went away, but i am saying that we probably wouldn’t experience nearly as much of it. the reason autism positivity is important is because it is not possible to “cure” autism. we can’t be ‘turned allistic’. allistics need to accept us, especially high-support autistics.
high-support autistics deserve to receive the care and assistance they need without that support only being provided under the condition that they submit themselves to the inherently traumatizing ordeal of having their very autonomy ripped away from them. they deserve support that isn’t contingent on how ‘obedient’ they are. they deserve support from people other than ‘mental health professionals’ who dehumanize them and talk down to them and hurt them. they deserve caretakers who actually listen to them.
and all autistics deserve to get the treatment and assistance we need for high-instance concurrent physiological things like seizures, gastrointestinal issues, and incontinence, too, without also having to be forced to endure the various so-called “therapies" (operant conditioning) that force us to behave and conform according to allistic standards and be obedient to make allistics more comfortable with our existences while we suffer for the sake of appeasing them. and we deserve the right not to work, like all disabled people do.
if we could get actual care and actual accommodations for things without the strings attached, without caretakers and healthcare providers controlling our lives without our consent, wouldn’t our lives be easier?
