“Will fell first” this “Mike fell first” that but what if they actually fell at the same time?
To be honest, I don’t think it really matters who “fell first” and who “fell harder,” but I do actually believe in a simpler and possibly cheesier truth— they fell at the exact same time.
The moment in question is of course, the shed scene. Specifically right at this moment— right after Mike tells Will that meeting him was the best thing he’s ever done.
C’mon, just look at them!! The intense stare, the fact that they are the only two in frame, the shaky breath, the tears, the lack of score, the quiet, intimate moment between them, I think there were feelings bubbling beneath the surface, but to me this is definitely where they both “fell,” so to speak.
So I don’t think that they fell at different times, I think they just handled their feelings in different ways. It’s a similar struggle, but contrasting ways of dealing with it.
so, I wanted to make a self-insert oc as this is my new comfort story, and that I feel represented, I had to !! I did two versions, a normal one and a "at work" one
meet: Yellow 💛
he is a friend of blue, and has also suffered from S/A.
Victaton has already clarified that blue is the only one man in the company, but this is just a silly self insert of mine for my own comfort, so it doesn't matter, both mutually support each other <3
!! crucial !! piece of hilson lore confirmed - they're fucking LOSERS
honestly? so affirming to me. this isn't news i know but to get this explicit piece of interaction about being a lonely child and now being weird adults who don't know how to make friends or have "normal" conversations or connections like this is the shit i eat for breakfast, especially accompanied with the complete and utter sense of surrender to this fact that wilson displays. there's absolutely no reason whatsoever for him to defend himself or act as if what house is saying isn't true bc it is and they both know it and knows the other knows it even if they've never actually talked about this once which is very likely but they know cause they're the same and they only have each other and and and
I don't think I'll ever get used to the way Charles and Carlos look at each other, even in that new pennzoil reel (which was shot during the Canada gp if I'm not wrong), have you seen the way they were looking at each other at the beginning of the video? Insane…
Au in which Danny dies visibly in public but bc he's a half ghost he doesn't like, die *die* he comes back but people saw so whoops guess I'm dead for real and he hides away for a bit until like a week later or whatever comedic timing is better he just appears back at his house and if someone ask he's not Danny the guy who died last week he's uh Jonny the newly adopted Fenton kid
dick: Hey, wanna hear a funny joke?
kory: I only like dark humor.
dick, turning the lights off: What do you call a fake noodle?

dick: An IMPASTA!
I swear I have read your big post regarding Peter Parker's neurodivergence and why it is best to avoid labelling him, but he definitely has a weird brain
Can't find it and feel kinda sad about it cuz I deeply related to it
i know exactly which post you're talking about and i can't find it either! i've raked through my archive, and it's just - nowhere to be seen. i think tumblr eated it (it happens.)
really, tumblr's search functionality is so so useless, i don't know what to tell you. there are plenty of keywords i can search to find it that post, but the search functionality actually just does not work!
undiagnosed audhd-addled peter parker, my darling, my light, my life, my everything.
i think peter parker's such an interesting creature to write, because a lot of people will point to a certain behaviour about him and say "this is an autistic thing, right?" but a lot of those behaviours are actually, in my head, tied to certain traumas in peter's life too.
people say "oh, the food thing, peter's a picky eater because he's autistic" and yes, absolutely. but also it's tied to his trauma with his parents.
peter gets overstimulated, and yes, it's an autism thing, but also he was bitten by a radioactive spider and his senses are dialled to 11.
it's a similar case i've found for myself, too – where a lot of friends i have kind of diagnose me because i have autistic traits, but actually - i'm hesitant to claim the label or pursue diagnosis because, actually, i know where these certain behaviours come from, and they come from certain traumas. there are events i can pinpoint in my life and say "yep. that's where this behaviour comes from."
so - i think there's a lot of overlap between trauma and autistic traits. the brain is very complex! i think the reason for that overlap is maybe as simple as the fact that people with autism and people with trauma are both doing the same thing - developing behaviours to protect themselves or soothe themselves. so - i think it's nice to be able to see a character like peter parker, who may or may not be autistic, but recognise behaviours in him and see yourself in him.
people who go undiagnosed for whatever reason - people who are really good at masking - so good, in fact, that they have no idea they might be on the spectrum - everyone and anyone at all can look at peter parker and recognise themselves. because i think we discredit the thought that every single brain does the same thing! develops certain behaviours in order to survive. every brain has that same software - we've just all been faced with different hardships that we need to overcome, and that's were all the differences come in.
autism is a spectrum, i guess - everyone falls into it to some degree. and i think events in your life probably push you along on it. but i don't know, i didn't study brain science. probably what i'm saying is very stupid and uninformed. of course there's brain chemistry involved. but i know people in my life living with autism and certain events in their life have exacerbated certain behaviours or made coping with it a lot more difficult. so maybe trauma is a catalyst.
