Hi! If it's okay could I possibly request a matchup for Baldur's Gate 3, pretty please?

I'm demisexual & bi so anyone will be fine.

MBTI: INTP

Enneagram: 5w6 (tritype 529)

Alignment: True Neutral

Leo Sun, Cancer Moon, Capricorn Rising, Cancer Venus

I'm autistic and ADHD

I'm the friend who remembers everything. Like every detail of the night of Friend A's 21st birthday despite us all being very drunk.

I want loyalty, respect, and someone who makes me feel cherished in a relationship

I like to read, bake, and learn about all kinds of things. I like all types of music but my current music obsession is Lauren Paley.

I collect rocks, crystals, gems, and minerals.

I like to paint but because I'm not good at actually making my art look like real things I just do abstract.

I can be kind very socially awkward and oblivious to people flirting with me unless they're being very obvious.

I need to be comfortable with people before I let them touch me. Ironically I'm very touch starved.

But once I get comfortable around you I can be a hyper gremlin who dotes on the people I care about and will not shut up about my hyper fixations and random factoids.

I put a lot of thought and work into gifts for the people I care about.

I can be pretty reserved as a defense mechanism due to a lot of family trauma but once you get past my walls you will see how I love deeply and passionately. And that I'm secretly a hopeless romantic

I love to explore but I'm fairly introverted so I don't like being around large crowds.

I'm creative and love working with my hands.

I'm imaginative and can get lost in my own thoughts and daydreams

I'm introspective and avoidant but can be insightful.

I'm fantastical (which is my nice way of calling myself a weirdo)

I am intensely loyal and protective of the people I care about.

I do have a playful and sarcastic side that is reserved for the people I truly trust.

I walk the line between idealistic and realistic. sometimes it seems like I have a foot planted firmly on either side.

My fashion aesthetic is a cross between Dark Naturalism and Romantic Academia

My preferred interior design style is Hygge.

I don't know if I'd call myself frugal because sometimes I'll spend my money on stuff I don't need or have any use for but I got it because it looked cool. Other times I will actively talk myself out of buying things I do need to save money. (ex: "Yes this migraine's got me ready to puke and cry but I won't die if I don't buy more ibuprofen")

I don't necessarily have a favorite color but I do prefer either deeper shades of colors or pastels. I'm not a fan of bright shades.

I love working with animals and I especially adore cats. I will either give them over-the-top names every time.

I have 2 currently; Duchess Anne Marie Clawdia Meowington and her brother older brother Grand Duke James Whiskers Goofball Meowington the Third.

I love the smell, sound, and feel of leather. Bags, books, jackets, anything.

If you hurt someone that I care about I will avenge them. usually by scheming and destroying your whole life.

I have a quirky, dark, and self-deprecating sense of humor.

How I process things is in three steps; detach from everyone, repress/numb myself, and then move back toward everyone while wanting to be as helpful as possible.

I pick up on things other people might miss and make connections that aren't generally obvious.

Social cues are definitely my weak spot along with passive aggression. if you're upset with me about something you'll have to just outright address the issue because otherwise, I'll never get it. I may eventually realize that you're upset with me, but then I'll get stressed because I genuinely won't know why. and if you don't fill me in on what I did wrong, I'll spiral and eventually just assume that whatever our relationship is now over.

My stims include - tongue clicking, knocking on random surfaces, and rubbing my arms when I get excited.

I adore animals, especially the kinds that are less liked by society. possums, snakes, etc. though I also love cats and currently have a cat. I would have more if I could. I handraised him, and bottle-fed him after rescuing him. he's 10, spoiled rotten and I defy anyone to tell me he isn't my child. his name is Grand Duke James Clawdius Meowington the Third.

On bad days I can be a bit misanthropic.

I hope this isn't too much information and is formatted okay!

I match you with...

SHADOWHEART

○ it's the deep rooted understanding of the way one another think that finalizes this match for me. Both of you need to to process things solo, are deep thinkers, and just... get the way the other person processes and thinks. You can almost just tell when the other is daydreaming vs spiraling, and neither ever hesitates to help the other

○ The other thing was the deep passion you both carry. It takes time for both of you to open up and feel safe, to love someone, but once you do you give everything youve got. No matter how much you put in, Shadowheart will always match.

○ You help each other grow and learn to communicate. While you're definitely observant enough to know when Shadowheart wants something or is upset, anxiety clouds your judgement into skewing her emotions against you. As you grow comfortable with each other, you begin to learn that you're safe enough with her not to be so scared. She, in turn, learns to be more direct.

○ Both hopeless romantics, there are no shortage of kind gestures in your relationship. From rose petals and candles with a hit bath, to whispering the sweetest of nothings to one another as you fall asleep, romantic moments are commonplace. That keeps you both happy, satisfied, and feeling loved.

HEADCANONS

○ Shadowheart takes the I love you more competition surprisingly seriously. You get into the silliest of play arguments, bickering playfully about who loves who most. (I love you to the moon and back -- well I love you across the universe and back -- ect.) It goes as far as the two of you making grand gestures and waxing poetic at each other until the whole camp is groaning - reminding the two of you that they're still actually there

○ One of these little moments actually sparks your proposal. Shadowheart is the one to say the words, but only after goading you into saying you want to stay with her forever. She challenges you on it, asking you to marry her. The rest is history really

○ Almost all of your dates take place in the comfort of the dark, somewhere secluded. Both of you are more comfortable with no one else around, letting you really be yourselves and relax together. Night walks in the woods are commonplace.

○ You info dumping may be Shadowhearts favourite thing about you. She adores learning about you and what you love - she genuinely wants to know every detail.

anime featuring adult women

there are a lot of great female characters in anime, but sometimes it feels like they’re all supporting characters in shows about men or they haven’t graduated high school yet. I wanted to compile a list of some anime with adult women front and center

kidou keisatsu patlabor on tv:

in the sci-fi future as imagined in 1988, human-piloted robots called labors are used regularly by all kinds of people, including criminals. to combat labor crime, the police develop a special unit of patrol labors—patlabor. instead of following the prestigious division one, we follow a cast of quirky characters in second-string division two, as they solve cases ranging from mundane to dangerous to paranormal

izumi noa, and why I love her:

she’s incredibly strong-willed and stubborn. she’ll stand up to anyone. she’s obsessed with labors, not just piloting them herself but repairing them and learning about new developments in the field. even though division two is primarily men and there is the “men at work” vibe of so much military and police fiction, noa fits in easily with the guys and no one excludes her. the few times people do question her skills bc of her gender, they’re immediately shut down

other women in the cast:

nagumo shinobu, the captain of division one. we never actually see her or her unit at work, but they have a great reputation. I just love her bc she’s very funny always shutting down the captain of division two and I like that in-universe there are women in leadership roles like this

kanuka clancy, a visiting cop from new york. her relationship with noa is very strong, definitely shippable. she’s adept with a gun, a sword, and a giant robot. she’s the serious member of the team who yells at the others for being dumb but there are still times where she goes completely off the rails and ignores the law to do what she knows is right

wotakoi: love is hard for otaku:

momose narumi is an office worker and a fujoshi. she wants to keep the fujoshi part a secret this time around because things went south for her at her last job once people found out she was an otaku, but it turns out several of her new coworkers are fellow nerds. most importantly, her game-loving childhood friend hirotaka works at the same company, and the two of them reconnect as friends… and soon more than friends. it’s a romance drama involving only nerds

momose narumi, and why I love her:

she’s a lot like your standard high school girl protagonist who runs out of the house because she’s late for school, but this time she’s late for work. she’s really funny and straightforward, except she thinks she has to hide that side of her at her job. she and hirotaka have a great childhood friends to lovers relationship. she’s kind of rude to him but he adores her (though he’s kind of bad at showing it). I love a cheerful girl/serious guy romance that’s done well and I think this one really is

other women in the cast:

koyanagi hanako, narumi’s new coworker who’s a fellow fujoshi. she’s also a cosplayer, specifically a crossplayer who specializes in cosplaying as handsome guys. she and narumi only met each other under their fandom nicknames before, but they were big fans of each other and hit it off instantly when they meet at work. they’re cute friends even if they always argue about who tops in their ships

psycho-pass:

in a futuristic society, people’s mental health is constantly measured by “psycho-pass” readings which track their emotional state and judge the likelihood that they will commit a crime. naive rookie cop tsunemori akane leads a team of enforcers, people who are considered “latent criminals” too dangerous to live in normal society but who are still useful to the police. akane develops a close relationship with enforcer kougami shinya in particular, but kougami has his own intense relationship with the elusive criminal makishima shogo. as the team of detectives investigate him, they uncover secrets about the system they never wanted to learn and their fates become entwined with makishima’s

psycho-pass is written by urobuchi gen (madoka magica, fate/zero) and if you’re familiar with him you know what to expect. the show is pretty grim and gory. content warnings for rape, violence, gore, body horror, police violence, the predatory lesbian trope, forced institutionalization, and probably a lot of other things I can’t remember. not a light watch, is what I’m saying

tsunemori akane, and why I love her:

she’s incredibly principled. she sticks to what she believes is right despite immense pressure. it’s precisely because she’s naive and doesn’t understand the system that she is able to fight against it. she grows a huge amount over the course of the series but she never loses her compassion or her sense of right and wrong. she’s pretty badass too

other women in the cast:

karanomori shion, a lab analyst at the public safety bureau. she’s your typical sexy and flirtatious anime character but I think her position within the setting is interesting. although she’s categorized as a “latent criminal” unfit for society, she seems to be valued more than the enforcers. she’s also bisexual and dating a woman, though she plays into the “bisexuals can’t settle down” trope a little. she is not actually the best character or peak representation but I’m pretty attached to her and a certain type of woman will be too

kunizuka yayoi, a lesbian former musician and the only female enforcer. she’s shion’s girlfriend. there is a predatory lesbian character in this series, but it’s not kunizuka. I think her being a lesbian is handled pretty well. she has romantic and sexual relationships with women that are important to her, but she doesn’t hate men or flirt with every woman she meets (traits I hate to see in lesbian characters written by men). she’s really serious and calm but still cute and I love to see her growing respect for akane over the course of the show

death parade:

two people wake up in a strange bar with no memory of how they got there. a mysterious man with white hair named decim and his assistant, a woman known only as “the black haired woman,” ask them to play a game. the games are both absurd and dangerous, and as the contestants play them dark sides of themselves are revealed. decim’s job is to judge them based on their behavior while playing the games, but the black haired woman’s influence causes him to wonder if he’s doing the right thing

like it says in the title, the anime deals with the topic of death, and death by suicide comes up as well. I don’t remember everyone’s backstories but I think violence and abuse come up several times. there are also mannequins that move around on marionette strings which is kind of freaky

the black haired woman, and why I love her:

it might be wrong to say that she’s the main character when she isn’t introduced until the end of the first episode and her name isn’t revealed for half the show but listen. she’s the emotional core of the show and the person who sets the events in motion. she’s a very emotional person and that’s her strength. her relationship with decim is the classic “woman teaches cold-hearted man to feel” trope but I think it’s an outstanding example bc it centers her emotional experience and the two of them are not explicitly in a romantic relationship. I’ve been trying to avoid spoilers but for her it’s almost unavoidable. I love the way that her story is slowly revealed over the course of the show culminating in an incredible sequence in episode 11. I think her depression is handled so well too. it’s heartbreaking

other women in the cast:

nona, the boss of the arbiters. she’s a schemer who knows a whole lot of things she’s keeping from everyone else. I really like her outfit above all else. baggy pants with suspenders… a great look

mayu, a high school girl who is a contestant in one of the games. she tries to be cutesy but is prone to anger and makes incredible faces. I like that she’s an obsessive fangirl character who’s played for humor but is also shown as being noble and sympathetic

sakura quest:

koharu yoshino is a woman who moved to tokyo to find a job but has no luck. when she finally gets a job offer, it’s to become “queen for a day” of rural manoyama village. upon arriving in manoyama, she learns that she was only hired because they thought she was someone else but they still want her to work there for an entire year. now she lives in a small town and is tasked with both revitalizing the citizens and drawing tourists in, along with the help of four friends. it may not sound funny and heartwarming but it really is. it’s a good story about connecting and reconnecting and also the head of the tourism board wears a chupacabra mask sometimes

the main characters, and why I love them:

koharu yoshino, queen of manoyama. her struggle in the job market is unfortunately relatable to many people today and I love that she wishes she could have a job as a queen. she’s great and she really comes to love the town despite everything

shiori shinomiya, a very sweet manoyama native. she’s almost too nice but it makes it all the funnier when she gets intense

maki midorikawa, an aspiring actor who is famous among manoyama citizens for a small role she played in the past. she’s serious about acting but her family wishes she would get a more stable job. she can be kind of rude but she does love her friends and her town

sanae kouzuki, a web developer who moved to manoyama to escape the intensity of city life and the negative effects it had on her mental health. the problem is she hates rural life and is afraid of bugs but is too proud to admit it on her blog. the only true city girl among the five

ririko oribe, my favorite of the five. she’s shy but loves cryptids and the occult. it’s very easy to read her as autistic and the other characters affirm her interests and behavior. her love of cryptids even helps the town out when Spanish tourists come in search of a local legend. her relationship with her grandma is really good as well, with the two coming to understand and love each other over the course of the show

@nekaiatsoome oooooh yes okay okay okay I Definitely Have Thoughts :D (also before I get into this I mention it a lot but I am autistic and I definitely end up coding characters like that even if it’s by accident lmao)

When Mac and Jack met at the desert, Jack was always known as the ‘chatty’ one, and Jack was never sure why. I mean, out of all 20 year olds that he knows, basically none of them are too keen on being quiet

Eventually there’s one bomb where Mac just begins talking about certain electrical compounds, but it seems like Mac’s just saying it more to himself. Jack feels like a bit of an outsider listening in through comms

For the entire time Mac spends defusing the bomb, he continues talking about the same thing

Jack thinks it’s a little quirky, but, hey, everything this bomb nerd does is a little quirky

At some point Jack teases him about knowing a lot about that subject, and it kinda just shuts Mac down, and Jack doesn’t know why

Sometimes when Mac’s deep in thought during experiments or defusing, Jack will get to hear Mac talk on and on about the same subject, which he doesn’t mind. In fact, Jack begins to enjoy it

They go to DXS, and Jack learns a bit more

Firstly, he finally gets to meet the infamous Bozer. He’s just as great as Mac said, and Jack’s feeling great about having a partner in crime when it comes to playing pranks

One day Jack’s over for a barbeque, and Mac begins talking about a certain type of conductive heating while Bozer is grilling. Despite the fact that Boze was just talking about some film, he’s perfectly content with just listening in on it. Mac talks for the entire time they grill, and even continues afterwards, barely eating, so he can continue talking

It’s probably one of the happiest times Jack’s seen him

At some point Jack asks Bozer about it, and he gets the cryptic reply of “His dad never let him ramble about things. it only feels right to let him now that he lives with me.”

The first time Mac infodumps in front of Nikki, she kinda shoots him down, which makes Jack get all protective, but in all honesty, there’s nothing much he can do about it. He does notice Mac’s a little bit more subdued for the rest of the mission, though

As Mac gets closer to Nikki romantically, Jack notices less and less of Mac’s rambles.

Whenever the two are alone, Jack does his best to get Mac started on a favorite subject, so he’ll get to talk and talk about it as much as he wants

After Nikki “dies,” Mac doesn’t really talk much

This includes infodumping, and it breaks Mac’s heart a little more

After Riley comes, Mac’s mumbling to himself during a mission while he’s doing his best to arrange a fulcrum, and Riley asks what he was talking about

He kinda shuts down, but after realizing that she’s being genuine, Mac ends up infodumping about certain physics laws

It’s the happiest Jack’s seen Mac in a long, long time

Patty leaves, and their first mission with Matty is awful. She doesn’t like the way Mac works, and she doesn’t like the comms being clouded with “useless information”

It takes months of forming a friendship with Matty until Mac feels comfortable infodumping again. Sometimes she cuts him off, but Mac knows that there are time constraints sometimes

After he dad comes back, it’s like Mac completely shuts down again.

Even coming back post-Nasha, Mac never really infodumps. He’ll give necessary bits of knowledge when it’s needed, but Mac doesn’t go into details again.

It takes a lot of work on Jack’s end before he gets Mac comfortable enough to start infodumping again

Everyone on the team knows that Mac’s at his happiest while infodumping, so they try to let him go for it as often as he can

Keep infodumping, all of my neurodivergent friends! You know you’ve found your bubble of people when they don’t ever cut you off, and don’t ever settle for less! You deserve to infodump all you want <3

#oops this became long #i have lots of feelings about autistic mac jeje #i wholeheartedly believe that mac was canonically written with ADHD #but i took him and said ''hmm no that's autism'' and it's not like anyone can stop me lol #nekaiatsoome #macgyver #angus macgyver #macgyver 2016 #we do love ourselves an autistic mac #autistic mac
