So I just accidentally found out that Amazon has a new option where you can make the dialogue louder than everything else, and um, LOVE THAT?? My partner usually doesn’t like wearing their hearing aides outside of work and sometimes has trouble reading subtitles fast enough, also I have processing issues and overly blasted background music really fucks with my ability to understand things sometimes

gotta say though, as a german i can't really take the name "augustus" seriously, because the english pronunciation sounds kinda like the german word "orgasmus" (which means exactly what you think)

Please tell us EVERYTHING about your dyke scarecrow au🎃🐦‍⬛
ghjk its not even rly like a full fledged au or anything i just resonate so heavily w the character and i was like. sure ok everyones making their own version of their fav rogues, why not me? so basically shes just like a mishmash of all my favorite interpretations and adaptations of the character with a heavy sprinkling of Gender
(also some vaguely paranormal spooky shit bc im so obsessed w scarecrows potential as like an actual horror character. in my version its left deliberately unclear if scarecrow the villain is %100 a persona made up by jon or if its a literal possessing force that has haunted her from childhood. make of it what u will.)
the whole origin story thing goes a little like this. jon crane (she/he/they/it), born johanna keeny, was raised by his fundie xtian grandma, mary keeny, in a farming town in georgia. from childhood she was kind of an oddball, and had a strange preoccupation with fear, loving ghost stories and occasionally menacing the crows that were common on the family land just to see them scatter.
they were always booksmart but also pretty socially inept. bullied at school and either ignored or brutally "disciplined" at home, she found consolation and comfort in books, everything from classic literature to dense scientific texts to trashy pulp horror. jon also struggled with (largely undiagnosed/untreated) chronic pain and, as a result, sleep issues. when she was able to sleep she often experienced sleep paralysis which manifested in nightmares and waking hallucinations of the scarecrow in the field outside the window speaking to her. its voice was wretched like nails scraping glass, but it spoke kindly to them, promising to protect them from the true nightmare that was yet to come. jon tried not to listen. she considered herself too sensible to believe in boogiemen. but as she got older things got worse, her body and mind continued to act against her, certain secrets regarding her sexuality came to light, followed by a confrontation with her granny after she began to threaten her with the promise of "exorcism"...
eventually, jon was left with no choice but to let the scarecrow handle things.
more assorted infodumping below the cut
after using the meager inheritance left by dear departed granny to pursue higher education in gotham, jon legally changed their name both in order to make it harder to track down their history and as a final spiteful gesture, taking the surname of the man grandma keeny had blamed for the corruption of her daughter.
legally she is still johanna and doesnt necessarily mind her given name but still vastly prefers jon. a very select few people are allowed to call her jonny, and NO ONE is allowed to call her joni/joanie any variant thereof.
their rise to villainy is still mostly the same since thats one thing that is generally p consistent in canon. professor of psychology, not well liked by students or staff, secretly working on a pet project involving testing the affects of fear on the human mind with some less than willing test subjects, yadda yadda yadda
scarecrow both is and isnt a separate entity from jon. jon, being scientifically minded, most of the time considers scarecrow to be the natural result of a traumatic childhood manifesting in a protector figure that gains control of their shared body during moments of intense stress or panic. this is true! in certain less rational moments however she believes it to be a completely foreign being, a literal demon that has plagued her family line for generations, like granny always said. this is also true! how can both of those things be factually correct? figure it out yourself!
scarecrow is always eager to wreak some havoc on anyone who gets in jon's way, but as for jon, he has refused to directly inflict violence on anyone since his grandmother. she was his first and last. jon's far from a pacifist, but hes also not bloodthirsty, and scarecrow begrudgingly respects his wishes. after all, its better if the test subjects stay alive as long as possible anyway.
jon has hypermobile eds. as a kid they used to freak out their classmates by messing around with their double joints and stretching out their skin. it became a lot less fun for them in adolescence when the background hum of joint pain suddenly teamed up with their growing pains, also made worse by grannys dislike of doctors delaying their diagnosis for years and their refusal to use mobility aids when they needed them out of fear of the bullying getting any worse. they finally gave in and started regularly using a cane in college but sometimes theyll still try to go without it. not great.
also related to the above, she has had kind of a fucked relationship with self medicating to deal with pain in the past. and in the present to a degree. also kind of a fucked relationship with pain in general.
probably autistic and definitely experiences some flavor of paranoid psychosis and ptsd but was never diagnosed with either because 1) they knew it would impact their ability to pursue their field of choice since they would always be considered "too close" when it came to matters of psychology and 2) theyre pretty sure theres nothing another doctor could tell them about themself that they dont already know and better.
masks like their life depends on it in public and pretty well most of the time. people for sure know theres something up with that crane guy but not enough to really give a shit most of the time. fucking hates stimming around other people. fucking HATES being treated as infantile or less capable.
one of the many benefits of becoming scarecrow, whether in terms of the villain persona or the being that is and isnt jon, is being able to be a lot more visibly bizarre without being treated like a child. instead people just treat it like a threat, which it prefers greatly.
vocal stim of quoting lines from favorite books, old nursery rhymes, and even the occasional half-remembered church song. jons grandmothers religion was largely a burden she dropped as soon as she could, but unfortunately they kinda went off with the southern gospel.
she had her first kiss with a girl from her class after sneaking away from a halloween party together. they got caught and after the news got out the girl hurriedly got back together with her ex boyfriend to protect herself from the inevitable backlash. scarecrow thinks she should have gone the way of dear old granny, but jon stubbornly disagrees to this day despite it all.
people generally think jon is older than he is. this used to bother him but now hes kind of into the whole weathered old butch vibe. certified queer elder moment.
still as much of a nerdass bookworm as she was as a kid. cried until she made herself sick the first time she read carrie. will take this to her grave.
of course theres more but once again this is fuckin long enough already.

this is bullshit, you need to learn how to do your job better
all the pens clatter out of your coat pocket when you yank it down your arms and you stare at the concrete for a long time, debating whether or not this will send you over the edge. realistically, it's probably not worth it, and screaming and fuming and groaning into the empty break room will probably just alert someone further into the building, amp up those rumors about the wing being haunted—but it might make you feel a little less tense.
it's so stupid; the patient clearly has no idea about anything that's done around here and you know that, but it doesn't make hearing the complaints any easier. the disrespect against you, your coworkers, all the hard work you do daily and what it's taken you to get here to this position.
you shove the material into your locker and bend to pick up your pens, the little notebook that fell out too, and you carelessly toss them in as well, slamming the door shut before they can come tumbling out after you; that, on the other hand, would definitely have sent you into a frenzy. the mess you've created will be a reminder of how this day ended, but future-you can handle that after a solid eight hours of sleep.
the metal reverberates through the back room, the slam echoing in the silence you've been left to. by the end of the day, most of your coworkers are happy to be gone, letting the ugliness of the shift wash off them as they shed their coats, as they leave their work behind them, and normally you can follow suit, but some days that ten hour shift refuses to let anything slide. at least for you.
it's ridiculous. you know it is. you shouldn't let this ruin what of the day is left to you, but you can still picture the patients face when he said it, the disgust in his eyes at your response. all the words you want to fling back into his face are rolling around in your mouth, and you can't stop thinking about what you should have said, just to try and make him understand.
"y'okay?"
you jump, looking up from the bench where you'd been tying your shoes to see bakugou. your manager. you hadn't even realized he would still be here, or in the back. it's been hard to think about anything else.
"uh, hey." you shake your head, watching his hands as he begins to tug off his white coat. meeting his eyes makes you feel a little silly, because you're not sure how much of the last twenty minutes have been silently thought or mumbled out loud. "yeah, just—assholes, you know?"
"fucking for real," he grumbles, leaning against the short row of lockers as he crosses his arms. for nearly all hours of your day together, you only ever see him with his sleeves down, and something about seeing his forearms, the biceps bulging against the material of his scrub top, feels intimate.
god, now you're just being weird. about your fucking boss.
again.
it's hard to say when your little crush on him began. before you'd been promoted to working under him, all you'd ever heard was horror stories. how aggressive he was, the little tolerance he had for mindless conversation and idle chit-chat, anything that would take away from you doing your job. bakugou worked quick, and if you turned out to be the one slowing him down with your incompetence, there would be hell to pay. in order to keep up with his pace, stay on his half-way decent side—you had to know what you were doing, be confident in it, ready to make decisions at the drop of a hat.
and it's terrifying, sure, but there's something about it you can't really pinpoint. seeing him come in on his scheduled days, solve problems because he knows what he's doing, the quick math he can do in his head and the extensive amount of knowledge he has about—everything. in some ways, he's a complete jerk, but you would be lying if you said the intelligence and confidence wasn't so attractive.
"what'd they say?"
you blink, and bakugou has shifted some, relaxed, hands tucked into his pockets. "the usual: why we aren't helping him right now despite all the other people waiting to be checked out, why we can't just grab pills from the shelf and throw them in a bottle and give them to him and send him on his way."
he snorts. "right, because it's not like we're running a fucking business here or anything."
"oh, yeah, clearly not." all the things you wanted to say to the patient before are piling back up now that you're talking about him again, and you have to take a deep breath so it all doesn't come rushing out. "not like we have operating procedures or licenses to protect or lives to fucking watch out for."
"obviously we should have helped him before anyone."
"obviously."
when you roll your eyes, he laughs quietly, shaking his head as he turns his attention elsewhere. a little smile plays on his lips and it has your stomach dropping almost painfully; it's not often he ever wears anything other than a scowl and furrowed brows. the sight of amusement on his face, no matter if its fuled by a patients own idiocy, is so new. more friendly, less professional.
this isn't the first time you've ever wondered what he's like outside of work, in jeans and a soft cotton tee. or maybe he wears a sweatshirt and cargo pants. heavy boots or sneakers or loafers—you have no idea. he has a facebook page, but you're not friends, so the only photo you can see of him is one in the middle of some canyon, hiking, in a sleeveless tank that shows off his muscles too well.
a beat of silence goes by and you pop all the knuckles on both your hands because you shouldn't ask him this, but you do anyway. "are you...going to mina's thing after work tomorrow?" his smile vanishes, face schooling back into it's resting, irritated expression, and you immediately wish you could swallow those words. "probably not, right? that's like, what, fraternization or something?"
bakugou inhales, holds it, and then sighs with a shrug. thinking. "'m a superior to mina, but i'm not really her boss, so no. but i ain't going to that shit, she always drinks too much wine and ends up tryin' to make me dance with her or something." you laugh and his eyes flick to you. your mouth and your neck and your eyes. "you goin'?"
would it be embarrassing if you said yes? would he think less of you? "uh, i don't know yet. maybe."
it doesn't matter anyway. because he's your boss.
he nods once and chews the inside of his lip, and when he speaks again, his voice is a little quieter. something he doesn't want reaching further into the building. "would be fraternization with you though. can't hardly be in the same place as you outside of here," he gives a lazy gesture to the walls, the ceiling. "if i want you to stay with me."
you think you might throw up. the sound of his voice echoes in your ears over and over and that's not what he meant and you're such a creep, but you're never going to forget this moment. what it felt like to hear him say something like that.
"not—fuck—not with me, just—fuckin'—here."
"yeah, yeah," you shake your head quickly, trying to seem aloof as you survey the change of color on his cheeks. the fluorescence back here sucks, but you think he might be turning a little red. "no, of course, i get what you mean."
"you'd have to, you know," bakugou shrugs again, looking down at his shoes as he shuffles, a little restless. hand scratching the back of his neck. fiddling with his watch. the collar of the coat still in his arms. "change departments and shit, if we wanted to—outside of work, or whatever."
"yeah," you don't mean for it to come out so breathless but it does, and his eyes shoot to yours. "and, i mean, we don't want me to do that." you bite your lip and he swallows, adam's apple bobbing as he watches you with more attention than you think you've ever had from him. "right?"
"'course not," and his voice is just as low as yours, but it picks up after he sighs, eyes drifting away. "you're the only one here that isn't a total dumbass, so, can't afford t'lose you"
"oh, only half a dumbass? what a relief."
"should'a taken that guy before anyone else, then maybe i'd be sayin' something different." he looks at you again when you laugh, another small, amusing smile hinted on his lips. a silence settles over you and you try not to wilt under his stare. you wish you could know what he was thinking. "next time someone gives you a hard time, just come get me alright? i'll fuckin' tear 'em a new one, i don't care."
what you wouldn't give to know. if there's even a single thought about you. if he's looked for more pictures of you on facebook. if he wishes he could go to mina's party, if he wants to see you outside of here.
bakugou swallows again, mouth firming back into a thin line as he steps away from the lockers, straightening his posture as he starts to leave. "won't let people talk to my staff that way. not just you, but anybody."
"yeah," you nod. the disappointment feels like a blush on your face, heat on your cheeks you don't know if you're hiding. not just you. not just you. "i'll remember that for next time."
he nods once before shaking his head, telling you to go home, get some rest, and then he's disappearing out the break room before you know it. all you can focus on is the shift of muscles under his shirt before he's gone.
and maybe it's best you don't know, afterall.

Honestly feeling like shit. I had one boiled egg to eat today and I can't bring myself to eat anything else which means meds on an empty stomach which is always great /s if regret killed I would be dead. Why did I write that? Why did I post it? Why didn't I ignore the hate? I know the answer to all of that but I regret everything. And I want to fucking die. There to spit out the poison and feel less like going through with it.
It's funny that people claim to be neurodiverse but when someone acts in a non palatable neurodiverse way they suddenly become hostile and say we're giving the community a bad rep. And I'm like lol what community? I never felt accepted in this alleged community because I'm unmasked and reactive and everyone wants neurodiverse people to be cute little babies who stay quiet at all times. I'm so very tired of people assuming I'm using my conditions as an excuse. Like maybe don't assume the worst in people how about that? Maybe I'm explaining why I behave a certain way and maybe it's a spectrum so just because you're a little smol uwu bean who doesn't react to anything doesn't mean everyone is like that. Some of us have anger management issues and need to be medicated to survive. Some of us don't have access to proper healthcare. So no, when I say I am neurodiverse I'm not excusing my shitty behaviour I'm explaining it but apparently the only type of neurodiversity that is allowed is the palatable yesman kind. If you're not a tame little baby you need to be eliminated.
And God do I wish I had never been born. Do I wish they'd just let me die when I wasn't born breathing instead of unclogging me. I didn't ask to be born and I hate being alive

Do you ever feel like you have to overexaggerate your every feeling because your actual reaction would be just a blank face, but the people around you don't like it and suddenly say you're rude and don't engage in the conversation?? i'm kinda tired of that but i'm so used to doing that it would attract too much attention

The last couple of episodes of Fionna and Cake were pretty good! Although I liked the second-last batch better. Still not sure what to think about the way Simon and Betty's relationship was handled, but I'm not good with understanding metaphors right away. I wish they'd spoken more directly.
What was with that weird shared dream Fionna and Cake had when they went back into their world? They weren't unconscious when they first came out of Simon's head, so maybe they hadn't actually reached their world yet, and it was something else in Simon's head? I don't know what it would mean for that scene to really be Simon's dream, though. Seemed to more be about what Fionna was worried about.
I thought the author's name on the book in the future might be in a runic alphabet, but it doesn't look like it. The letters don't seem to correspond to specific runes in any alphabet, but they're in the same style.
The world you see in Jerry is canonically called Jerryworld! (Based on the soundtrack) I knew it! Or it was already used in some other official material and I picked it up from there. I don't remember. Also, GOLBetty actually got used in-show. Wasn't expecting to hear that.
Wait, why does the soundtrack track art say "SEASON ONE" on it? Was that a typo for volume one?

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
#yeehaw#1k#5k#10k#posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference#edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense#also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags#1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now#he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic#2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign#like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock#3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing#it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is#extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once#it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life#i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about#Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect#if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it#aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

A customer contacted our team with questions, and then finished their email with: "I am daunted by the complexities and unknowns." I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.
