So!!! Today's my birthday (and incidentally my second post on here the entire year 😬) and I decided to draw my faves all together, for the @fandercalendar!!

Also, I'm aware Jake isn't canon, but I don't care- he is to ME <3

(And yes, that is in fact Curious George, and yes, I did in fact project on an 8-year-old leave me be- /lh)

i've done it. i've cracked the code.

i know why the 'playful insult' humour (henceforth referred to as roasting for simplicity) doesn't work when autistic people do it, and why they're so mean to us but fine according to others.

it's about the facade of security.

allistic people have roastable things about them that they show, and Insecurities they put conscious effort into Hiding. i'm still not sure if they Hide well enough that others actually don't notice or if everyone else is just being polite, but either way, that's The Line. anything they're not Clearly Insecure about is fair game for roasting. anything they are, they like to think nobody knows about which both comes from and results in nobody talking about it.

if someone is short, for example, and makes jokes about being short or doesn't have any obvious issue with their height, they're probably ok with jokes being made about it. if someone is short and tries to look taller with tall shoes or hair, changing their posture, etc., that means they don't want their height to be made fun of (unless they make jokes about them being insecure, in which case, same as the first one applies and you can joke about their make-me-tall actions, but probably not their height itself).

the trouble comes when autistic people can (metaphorically) see the Insecurity, but not the efforts to Hide them. they might see the visuals of Hiding, but not recognise that those efforts are a sign saying 'don't joke about this' because we can't always tell the difference between a Hiding behaviour and a regular one. The Line is invisible to us.

so when we try and join in, we don't realise that the joked-about didn't know that everybody else saw their Insecurity. the Insecurity itself is linked to the Hiding behaviour, so roasting their behaviour feels to them like roasting the Insecurity. more than that, they feel exposed, because their Hiding behaviour has been shown to be a Hiding behaviour, which in turn exhibits the Insecurity for everyone to see.

when the rest of the audience is allistic, they recognise that this has happened and The Line has been crossed, so not only does the joke fall flat, but you are The One Who Made Someone Upset. the bully, the over-the-top one, cruel.

on the other hand.

autistic people also have roastable things about them that they show, and Insecurities they put conscious effort into Hiding. however, our Hiding abilities don't work the same way as allistics. either we can't control the thing we're insecure about, so we can't (or "don't") Hide at all, or it isn't as perceptible to allistics. it might even be perceived as lampshading (a joke where someone ironically points out something cliched or obvious), and therefore, ok to joke about.

so our lack of politeness armour (Hiding) means that everybody thinks our serious Insecurities are funny roastable things. so we get hurt by their comments, and because there's no Hiding (which, to allistics, is synonymous with Insecurity), they say we're being sensitive and overreacting, because it's "just a joke".

or they're bullying us on purpose idk.

(disclaimer: i am autistic. if you're allistic adhd and you relate to this, that's cool too, but because i'm not allistic i don't know what that experience is like internally, so i didn't write about that. btw sorry if this long text post with big paragraphs scared away all the adhd-ers. also because i'm autistic, i might be totally wrong due to fulfilling criterion a in the dsm.)

"A god should be unable to die, yes?" A smile graces the villain's lips, their head raised upwards - towards the sky.

"A god is an immortal, they cannot die. I cannot die." The hero stands tall, arms lowered to their sides. Determined by their lack of mortality, they return the smile.

The villain doesn't lower their gaze, as if they hadn't heard the hero.

"What are you even looking at?" Lifting their head to the sky, they feel a sharp pain in their torso. They choke back a scream, their gaze returning to the other.

In the villain's hand is something indistinguishable, even to the hero's eye. It is but a blur as they are forced to kneel, covering their wound with both hands.

The villain approaches, their expression unmoving.

"Why don't we test that then?"

not a request but question..saw you were against Content Police and was wondering if you allow proship requests (agere related for when your asks are open again ofcc)

Combining these asks to minimize the shipcourse mentions on this blog, but also thank you for both of the asks!!!

In response to the question, I will gently reinforce that the label 'proship' is a belief about fiction, and not a specific genre of content. Even if it was a genre, I've seen a massive range in what would fall under that terminology (for example, self-identified antis who run Hannibal blogs).

I originally decided to put antis on my DNI when I posted some imagines for caregiver!Gaston, from Beauty and the Beast.

In these headcanons, I did include some caregiver dynamics that are little nods to his canon tendency to try and control the people around him, and how those toxic traits might reflect in his behaviour as a caregiver.

In my opinion, it's very important when you read villain imagines to remember that it's okay to fantasize about caregivers who take away your control and agency to make you feel small and cozy and protected, but it's a big red flag and completely unacceptable if a caregiver ever does that without your explicit permission and expressing that it's something you want from them!!!

So the answer is that yes, I will write some stories that reflect dynamics that I don't want people to think are healthy IRL: for example, anything with Hannibal Lecter, or Elias Bouchard. I will occasionally write about manipulation and control and helplessness, and I will do my very best to tag those dynamics so that people can avoid them if they so wish. (ie. my Alois and Claude fic)

I don't write explicit content or very much romantic shipping content, so I don't think that the most traditional 'proship' associated things are a risk/relevant discussion for this blog. But I do sometimes write about unhealthy relationships (ie. Rick and Morty are an abusive familial relationship, but I might write about how Morty feels complicated love and dependence towards Rick). Again, all of this material will be tagged, and I think I heavily lean towards the more fluffy kinds of dynamics.

As my rule has always been, you can request anything SFW you'd like when requests are open, and I'll make my decisions about what I'm comfortable writing! I turn down requests for many reasons, but I try to never be judgmental or rude about it.

Alexander 💀

(English translation under the cut.)

ALEXANDER HACKE: I already knew Rudi from the Die Haut days. I was a guest singer on their last record, Spring. I also did some tours with Die Haut. At the beginning, I found him a bit suspicious - pretty boy Rudi. I didn't know if we could work together. I didn't really know his work and I was afraid that he was just a poser, and a Bavarian one at that. A pretty boy from Munich and Einstürzende Neubauten - and that was supposed to work?

RUDOLF MOSER: One night at Ex'n'Pop, Alex strutted up to me and said, 'Hey, pretty boy Rudi, forget about the idea that you're going to be the drummer of the Neubauten!' At that [text cuts off]".

OLDER RELATIVES STOP TOUCHING ME AND CALLING ME PET NAMES CHALLENGE. IT’S NOT CUTE AND IT’S NOT FUCKING FUNNY. WOULD YOU DO THAT IF YOU KNEW I WAS A LEGAL ADULT? IF I WAS VISIBLY AGING? IF MY AUTISM DIDN’T MAKE ME ‘CHILDISH’? WHY DO YOU THINK IT’S OKAY TO JUST GO UP TO YOUR KID RELATIVES AND TOUCH THEM WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION? YOU DON’T DO THAT TO FELLOW ADULTS, SO WHY AM I AN EXCEPTION? STOP IT. AND WHILE YOU’RE AT IT, STOP ASSUMING THAT WE’RE AUTOMATICALLY BUDDIES JUST BECAUSE WE’RE RELATIVES. WE’VE MET TWICE WHEN I WAS LITTLE. I DON’T FUCKING KNOW YOU. AND EVEN IF I DID, THAT WOULD’NT GIVE YOU A PASS TO CALL ME ‘SWEETIE’ AND FUCKING STROKE MY HAIR WHEN I HAVE NOT TOLD YOU THAT IT WAS OKAY TO DO SO. I AM NOT YOUR FUCKING PET. STARS I HATE ADULTS SO DAMN MUCH SOMETIMES. I HATE HOW PRESUMPTUOUS THEY ARE. I HATE HOW COMFORTABLE THEY ARE WITH ENCROACHING ON MY PERSONAL SPACE. I HATE THAT THEY STILL DON’T CONSIDER ME THEIR EQUAL.

why am i still not. worthy of respect? why is respect the exception? and not the rule? why do i need to ask you to stop? can’t you just ask for my permission? how will you act if i say no?

Greetings, Dirk Gently fandom; I bring you great news! A saviour has been born!

Introducing: a searchable DGHDA scene index!

-

What is it?

It's a way to categorise and search for every single scene in the show.

You can sort by character, tone, season, activity level, etc, and the spreadsheet will automatically give you all the scenes that match your search with a link to their start and end times on YouTube!

Why?

The original intention of this was for fic writers – as the writing equivalent of a folder of reference images. But it has as many applications as you can think of for it!

How?

Four days of me hyperfocusing on spreadsheet formulae. Worth it.

-

But!!! There's a Problem!

See, I've set the whole thing up, with formatting and formulae and so on – but, at present, there isn't actually anything in it.

There's something like 900 scenes in the whole show.

So: I'm asking for your help!

I've got a document linked below explaining everything involved, but in short: if we produce a community effort and divide the episodes between us, the whole thing will be filled out and functional much more quickly!

There's no pressure to do anything you don't feel up for, so don't feel like you have to input loads to take part! And if you don't take part at all for any reason, that's also completely fine. Your presence in the fandom is always enough <3

If you do feel up for anything, your help will be greatly appreciated!!

Interested? Read the document and get in touch!!

The Guide Document:

The Spreadsheet:

(The sheet is view-only at the moment for safety. Read the document and get in touch with me if you'd like to help out!)

-

P.S. We've got an active DGHDA discord server if you'd like to hang out and discuss anything DGHDA related! The guys there have been vital to this spreadsheet's production so far, and are wonderful to be around; come join us if you want to! Here's the link - DM me somewhere if it's expired!
