The 141 + König with a s/o who goes non-verbal

Tiny disclaimer: im autistic and have moments of being non verbal during breakdowns etc, so this is based mostly off of my own experience, but if anyone feels like ive said inaccurate or offensive things, please let me know as that would never be my intention. The way I've written this suggests this is a negative feeling (, since thats how i experience it) but I understand that might not be the same for everyone. For some people this might just be a daily or

Ghost

Ghost relates to you. While he wouldn't claim his experience is the same, he gets moments of overstimulation where he wants everyone to leave him alone, and will just stop reacting to people.

When he feels like this, he prefers to sit in his room, either completely in the dark or with only a small lamp on, and have as little noise around him as possible.

If you're in a stress situation, not knowing what else to do to help you, that's what he'll resort to.

He'll take you into either his room or yours, whichever you would prefer, and holds you while letting you get away from all the triggers for a bit. Unless you're dealing with life or death situations, whatever work you have left for the day can wait. Your wellbeing always comes first.

Soap

Soap is a lot more observant than people give him credit for. He's the king of avoiding stressful situations for you whenever he can.

But alas, he can't avoid it every time. Whether you start saying less and less as the minutes go on, or just stop talking suddenly, he notices immediately.

Not that he'd be quick to admit it, but he's got a written list of everything you like, even if it's just something you mentioned in passing. He absutely will use this list to do whatever he can to make you smile and relieve some of your stress.

He'll make sure to find a way to still communicate that both of you are comfortable with. He'll happily lend you his journal to write in, or he'll ask Roach for some lessons in sign language. He'd break his back bending over backwards to make you comfortable if he had to.

Gaz

No matter how often it happens, Gaz still feels a jolt of panic whenever you don't respond over coms when you're on a mission. He almost sags in relief as soon as he hears you hum, or even just hears the crackly static of you pushing your radio's button.

He knows you're a talented soldier and you're more than capable of handling yourself, he still prefers to be near you at all times. What if something happens and you can't tell him? You could be in trouble without him even knowing. He'll, just knowing you're stressed is making him want to reach for you.

He likes his job, likes helping people and ridding the world of danger, but his favourite part of every mission is when you're sitting in the exfil helo after a good mission, and you give him that wide smile he's been waiting hours, if not days to see.

Price

You and Price have been working together for so long, you both know the drill. When he starts to notice you going quiet, he makes sure he only asks yes or no questions. On your side; one click of your radio button for no, two for yes. Throw in some improvised morse code when necessary, and you've got a solid communications system.

Having this system is also a huge bonus during stealth missions, when he can't talk freely without risking being spotted.

He loves hearing your voice, but he doesn't treat you any differently when you can't talk. He'll support you in whatever way you need, without making it feel like he's babying you.

The two of you are a well oiled machine. No matter how stressful the situation, usually you can tell what the other one is thinking just by looking at them. You know you both have each other's back, verbal communication or not.

König

König doesn't mean to make a big deal out of it, and he won't if you don't, but he does worry.

After a situation like that happens once, he commits everything that helps you to his memory, and uses the knowledge to help you the next time it happens.

Even down to the tiniest detail, he'll remember. If you don't like a certain texture or can only stand a certain flavour of drink during moments like this, he's making sure you have everything you need and are as comfortable as possible. Whatever is stressing you will be dealt with by him while you're resting and calming down.

If you want to be alone, he understands and respects that, and gives you the space you need. But if you don't, there's nowhere he'd rather be than by your side.

Everyone writes Cellbit being in love with Roier, but surprisingly few people write Roier being in love with Cellbit.

#witch hat tag #orufrey #nother small post (it's not small..) meek post. mild post #sensei QRTed the last one with a sweet message and made my week <3 #drawn bc she randomly announced that originally qif & eas were going to be more openly hostile with each other #but she decided after feedback that qifrey would. Restrain himself now he has children in his life. #like pikachu with togepi in pikachu's vacation. She didn't say that part #just love that since i always say i see them as having this kind of autistic warfare expressed in ways other than actual fighting #since their youths. but i guess we don't know how much they had to interact as kids #i just know they're both opposite ends of Autistic Kids: one do-gooder kid who gets REALLY irked when others dont follow The Rules #and the non-verbal autistic kid who IS one push away from actually biting people #Sometimes autistic people shouldnt be friends. #anyway why did she randomly state this now of all times. Are they interacting in the next chapter. But why. #the next chapter scares me. a teaser piece of art she posted is like.....What is actually going to happen here. #What is going to happen . #anyway hope all fans of my silly drawings are doing well out there

ideas for what a skool sux jennika would look like,,.,, (i have absolutely no concrete lore at all but goddammit they need their older sister)

donnie was the oldest before this random ass came into their life that is why is he is probably the most reluctant to take her in as part of the family

SHES BASED OFF A MATA MATA TURTLE !!!! THE BEST KIND OF TURTLE IN THE WORLD REF PICTURES UNDER THE CUT

#donnie is also fully non verbal #that little turtle hovering next to their speech bubble is the aac device she built #not pictured is the chain linked rings on his hands that connect to the device (named shelldon) #ill make a ref for them eventually #sksx tmnt #skool sux tmnt #sksx donnie #sksx jenny #sksx jennika #tmnt #tmnt fan iteration #my artsies #god i love mata mata turtles these silly mfs are like 90% my reason for living

[thesherrinfordfacility]

tickled that "you like waiting inside" might be less of 'crowley likes the bookshop so much that he prefers to stay there whilst i run my little errands' and more like 'crowley has dozed off behind his glasses and is completely oblivious that aziraphale has been and gone in the first place'

#like crowley goes non verbal and aziraphale just thinks 🥰 aw 🥰 pretty demon just doesnt want to leave 🥰 #🥰 hes being so stubborn 🥰 i love him smmmm 🥰 #no my guy he's just fast the fuck asleep. you ever tried sleeping in a car it's horrendous #good omens

As much as I mourn all the lines that appeared in mario movie trailers but for some reason, didn't make it to the finished product (RIP "I'm not afraid! I'd do anything for my brother!" YOU LIVE ON IN MY HEART ALWAYS AND FOREVER), I've been thinking about "I hope you told your brother how much you love him, because you're probably never gonna see him again" and the rest of that whole dialogue exchange in particular from this specific trailer and how much I wish we'd gotten that moment because I think it would have helped spotlight a vital aspect of Mario's character that the movie already does a REALLY good job with getting across in the first place: the way he communicates how he feels through action and acts of service instead of words!

(more under the cut because this got too long, haha)

Mario is usually a very quiet protagonist so this tracks with the games too, obviously, but even movie!Mario seems like someone who isn't overly verbose or who's especially eager to enter into heavy, feelings-based conversations (at least not without a struggle). Talking about his feelings might not come easy to him, and he maybe even forgets to say things outloud that to him, seem obvious. (Meanwhile, I think Luigi is always up for gushing about his favorite people (see the interrogation scene lol) and probably ends every phone call/text message exchange ever with "love you!" to Mario and his parents, to the point that he might accidentally say it to acquaintances and customers too on occasion, LOL).

So thinking about this exchange with Toad and how, even if the movie didn't acknowledge it past that point, this idea would be hanging over Mario throughout his journey hits harder because you can imagine him thinking: hey, when WAS the last time he told Luigi outright that he loved him that wasn't a distracted "yeah, me too" response to Luigi saying it first? Maybe it's been a long time. Too long. So long it's genuinely upsetting for him to realize! What if his brother doesn't actually know how much Mario loves him, because he does, he does so much, and he's been an idiot for going so long without saying the actual words and now he can't, he CAN'T and he would give anything in the world to go back and do things differently!

And of course, all this panic is totally unwarranted and even silly because I think Luigi knows like his own name how much Mario loves him. Because the audience watching this movie knows how much Mario loves his brother by that point! Mario never says the actual words - in fact, he never says anything particularly positive about Luigi, other than "you were great!" regarding the commercial in the very beginning - and yet it couldn't be any clearer!!! I think it's pretty impossible to come out of this movie (if you were paying attention in the least) not seeing that love plain as day in everything Mario does, down to the littlest things, because he is a man of action and that's how he expresses himself best!

You see it in how he shifts from mildly embarrassed to immediately Intense and Ready To Throw Down on a dime when Spike insults Luigi, you see it in how he pauses to open doors and create paths for Luigi to safely follow him through the construction site as he's parkouring, you see it when the dog becomes aggressive and Mario is just entirely focused on keeping Luigi behind him, pushing him out of harm's way, getting the dog's attention so it will attack him instead, etc. You see it in the warp pipe when his entire demeanor changes the second he realizes Luigi is in trouble, how he desperately paddles to reach him and grab his hand and comfort him about the situation. You see it in how his brother is front of mind for him at every point in his adventure and that's why he fights so hard to talk to Peach, why he agrees to the fight with DK, why he keeps trying even when things seem hopeless and no one believes he can do it. You see it written all over Mario's face during the reunion, every single little way he touches Luigi and brings him closer and checks in on him with crystal-clear relief and joy and gentleness!!! The "show, don't tell" aspect is just OFF THE CHARTS IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE because that's how Mario is. He's not so good at words and remembering to say them. When he loves someone, he wears that feeling, he lives that feeling in so much of what he chooses to do and how he interacts with the world, and while it's always good to say these things outloud now and then just to be clear everyone's on the same page (and I'm sure he does after the movie, haha), it doesn't make it any less meaningful. :)

#mario movie #mario movie spoilers #super mario bros #mario and luigi #super mario bros movie #super mario bros movie spoilers #cherrysip hc's & rambling #i know some people have talked about this a little already but i just really wanted to do so too :) #because it's just WILD to me that you leave this movie knowing in your soul how much mario loves and needs his brother #and yet if you looked at only the spoken dialogue separated from all context i don't think you'd get that at all #(or you would get it a LITTLE but the effect would be so much more muted and nowhere near as emotional or vivid as the final product) #because the non-verbal stuff is critical!!! and that's perfect for mario as a mostly silent protagonist!!! IT'S SO GOOD #(also please PLEASE don't tag this as ship i am so so tired)

[multicolour-ink]

One of the things I love to think about regarding Mario and Luigi's bond (and get emotional over!) is the way they communicate.

It's not just words exchanged to each other, it's the non-verbal gestures;

A look, a loving touch, a hand on a shoulder, foreheads pressed together - all these things speak in so much volume, without a word being uttered.

#love / devotion / I'll ride and die with you / I'll never leave your side #those are the words I get from those simple gestures #my favourite bits in fanfics are when mario and luigi hold an entire conversation just from looking at each other #super mario #mario #luigi #the super mario bros movie #super mario movie #mario movie #mario and luigi #super mario bros #mario bros #brotherly love #communication #non verbal communication #family love #loving gestures #loving touch #please don't tag as ship #i beg #brothers

Types Bingo💓

Found this fun bingo here, feel free to snatch it! I'll tag @mino-diabolik @bluebird-dolly-bride @fruit-of-infidelity @viper-brothers @lucidesunderstander @hanakohanabe and anyone interested 👀✨

No pressure of course! But ngl I'm very curious KSKDK Took me so long to gather 25 things Scarlett likes on other people (some resemble her, some complement her) so I'm pretty sure the full completion of this bingo might result on instant marriage LOL tho we don't need to aim that high (?) Adding a few notes in the tags if you do hers!

#diabolik lovers oc #scarlett wakahisa #Reblog or repost is fine 💕 #added peeps who've been eyeing the red fury and she's been eyeing back 👀 djsk but anyone feel free to do it! i'll do some if i see them #'Secret keeper' just means that they are safe to confide in #'Passionate' can be in an emotional way or in a certain interest. Or both ✨ #I noticed that she likes to compliment and touch people's hair a lot so ? Can be eye-catching or just soft #it's like the first thing that catches her attention uwu #'emotional enough' bc she cant keep up with many Feelings™ and struggles to correspond verbally (initially at least) without panicking so💀 #'Challenging' as in non-conformist or not a blind pleaser. Being challenged raises her interest a solid 200% (?)+ #but it can also apply to raising a debate (respectfully) instead of agreeing right away. Like mmm big braining 2gether (lip biting emoji) #i think the rest is self explanatory? keeping my thoughts in those tiny boxes was hard i need to overexplain ghjgj 😭 #💄. red fury | scarlett #bingolett #ADDING that i dont just mean masochism in the 'ok with aggressive love' 😭its implied for funsies but #generally she likes to bite and leave marks and all that endearingly painful stuff(?) dw she wont tear you apart if you're not into that 🗿
