Song of the Day: January 9

"I Heard It Through the Grapevine" by Creedence Clearwater Revival

#song of the day #I'm at my grandfather's house now! #he's more than half deaf (partial hearing in only one ear) and the only thing more substantial than his record collection #is his sound system #CCR loud enough to feel in your bones. take a shower while the music plays and feel the water droplets vibrate as they fall. it's amazing #I missed the fuck out of this old man. had no idea the extent of it. I missed him so bad #old man with his La-Z-Boy perfectly molded to his body and his turntable collection and his novelty soda cozies and his model planes #it stormed like hell all day and none of us could hear each other speak over the wind and thunder and dogs howling and blessed CCR #so we've just been hanging out. played monopoly except again we couldn't hear so it was like monopoly + charades #sensory input through the /roof/ I forgot what it was like here. bliss for my brain #tomorrow if the weather stays calmed down I'm going to ask him what 'who'll stop the rain' is about #get those soothing background 'fuck vietnam' sounds going while I do my reports for work. missed this shouty old man like hell

i have planned to write a pseudo-essay or some kind of detailed look at linebeck in phantom hourglass and how he can be interpreted as autistic but thats not going very well right now so here are some autistic linebeck headcanons

He has low empathy and as such has a hard time responding very well to emotional situations, but he can take advantage of his lower empathy in situations where empathy could make things harder, like tending to wounds or rationally handling emotionally-charged situations

His coat is a comfort object and he made it specifically to act as a very slight accommodation; it’s heavy and barely lets any light through it, and he can keep all kinds of little things in pockets sewn into the inner lining, but larger objects do make it more uncomfortable to wear at times. It’s mostly good to carry around things to fidget or stim with and can be helpful in trying to recover from overwhelming sensory experiences

He doesn’t usually stim in public, but taps his fingers on tables quickly and tends to rhythmically snap his fingers when excited, and on his ship is more vocal and more willing to stim, even if around others. One of his main stims that he’ll do for no particular reason is that he’ll hold his arm or back of his wrist/hand up to his nose and mouth for the smell.

He masks frequently to please people. His default mask is that arrogant and brave front he puts up for islanders and other he may come across. Usually, if that mask doesn’t work, he tends to double-down because it usually works and, in his experience, dropping the mask has usually gone badly (non masking he’s rude and blunt but more outwardly excited about adventure and his ship and all of that, i consider it where overseas in the game is when he usually isn’t masking. this shifts his arc to be about him learning to stop masking and feel comfortable being himself)

His special interests could include stuff related to treasure hunting but it could really range from stuff about adventuring or the ocean or engineering (relating to his ship) to stuff not at all touched in the game like music. He really enjoys music, listening to it, playing it, and writing it. He also enjoys and is fascinated by shellfish.

When busy or otherwise occupied, he doesn't usually notice when he's hungry. He doesn't have as much of a problem noticing thirst or exhaustion, but feeling hunger is a problem for him, and often leads to him going a long time without eating. On the other hand, he doesn't mind eating the same thing repeatedly and is perfectly fine with blander foods, so handling food supplies for when he'll be overseas for a long time is easy for him.

He knows he's autistic, he's known for a pretty long time, and he has books on it; he also knows that Link is autistic, but doesn't say anything about it and instead waits until someone else tells him. Until (and after, I suppose) Link actually learns that he's autistic Linebeck just makes sure to keep note of what accommodations he might need and if there are any textures or tastes or smells he can't stand. He doesn't have much of a problem helping out during sensory overloads, even soon after meeting him. It's more out of understanding how it feels to not have your needs met and a sort of solidarity rather than actual friendship.

#loz #legend of zelda #phantom hourglass #linebeck #OBVIOUSLY he experiences some nasty rsd and he's a bitch about it that's like. basically canon so i didnt mention it #a lot of linebeck’s autism is based and referenced off of my own with some extra additions #which is why i have an easier time writing him as autistic than link #kindness is a choice and having low or no empathy does not in any way make someone heartless but linebeck does abuse his own low empathy #to be a mean bitch with minimal emotional consequences #i think linebeck would call link a dipshit to his face and then not feel bad about it for like a few weeks until he starts caring abt him #linebeck stimming by smelling his arm is actually my main stim. its probably why i sit all fucked up bc i sometimes do it w/ my legs lol #the masking bit does kinda fuck some stuff up but i personally enjoy that take on him #one of his comfort objects is an old orange cat plushie named copernicus and if you know what that is specifically from thank you im sorry #linebeck being way into music has no canon backup i just like the idea of him playing piano and composing some form of his own theme #piano is a mad sensory experience btw i dont yet know how to really play it but when i did keyboard in pit it was a fantastic feeling #bangin' out the tunes. it was a really good sort of stim if i was feeling a bit overwhelmed by all of the new tech and music too #salty talks #not entirely an autism headcanon but he thinks gender is a sham and less identifies as a man and more specifically considers #his gender identity to be 'real man of the sea' which is initially kinda silly but kind of a fucking gender move tbh #i dont think he's explicitly trans or nb he's just having fun fucking with his own gender and doing whatever he feels like doing #he isnt a man but he is a man. kind of like how im a dude but also not. yeah. #these were initally going to be call 'quick' headcanons but you can see why i uh. didn't end up going with that

the maggie gioia thoughts strike yet Again 🤏🏻🕶️🤨

#so i never realized it but magdalena and gioia Both have their own synch meters that are analogous to the devil trigger bar yk #and gioia's is for the like.. the telepathic connection between her and the agathos. almost like a cell phone connection yk! the more full #the bar is‚ the stronger the connection between them is + the easier it is to execute more complicated manuevers and attacks #it is a similar idea w maggie but ofc more Internal.. it's like trudging through snow or clawing your way through sensory overload #i always imagine hers as like.. the clearing of static. or washing up on shore after being shipwrecked.. like the two consciousnesses #become more aligned with each other and she is able to make sense of things which in turn allows her to do cooler stuff #to make a long story short‚ gioia's thing is very external and maggie's is wholly internal right. #anyhow. the Realizashun...... 🤌🏻 gioia's is very much so like. a natural development of her being a warrior/ #duelist/??? you know? she was Raised and Trained to fight so that is natural for her! that's why the bar manifests as like. the natural #cohesion between two comrades in the trenches who don't have time to speak. they just Get Each Other and know each other's next moves #instinctually. Meanwhile Magdalena was a civilian her whole life!! she doesn't have that same kind of battle experience #her entire situation is new and terrifying! so her sync meter is very self-focused.. like a dead-eyed stare becoming more focused and sharp #and as she gains better footing in the situation‚ the synch between her and the seeker becomes stronger+ only then is she able to exert her #willpower on her surroundings 🧃 i think that is a fun leetle inversion between them 😈 the soldier vs the poet ykwim! #you know. i think magdalena's thing would function pretty similarly to vergil's concentration gauge.. the cleaner you play‚ the more crazy #shit you can do 😝 but the implications between the concentration and synch gauges would be. Very Different 😎 #sriracha.txt #nero prime #💃🏻

The Incredible Hulk (1968) #246

#I actually really appreciate this guy’s consideration for why the Hulk distrust words #it’s been written in the past in a way that suggests that sometimes the Hulk finds processing information in words really difficult #to the point where it could be almost painful for him #and so even someone saying the right words to him wouldn’t help because that words are being spoken at all is overwhelming #and there could also be a sensory issue component to that #I think the novelization of the 2008 Hulk movie had a really interesting approach to this #where the was a scene where Betty was saying all of the right words to try to comfort and calm the Hulk down #which was followed up by the Hulk’s perspective where he could understand the tone of her voice and so her overall positive intention #but it was just so hard for him to focus to be able to actually make out what she was saying and the meaning of the words #which ties into that take on the Hulk as being this panicked response that really isn’t built for anything outside of that context #but it’s also notable how portrayals of the Hulk that are more verbal have him as this very straightforward character #he doesn’t lie or deceive people and he’s blunt in a socially unaware way where he’s actually often pretty rude #and you will have these scenes where the Hulk is just like stop I don’t want to fight #and the people attacking him are like ahh it’s a monster as though they can’t hear him #part of the tragedy of this character is that he’s not always great at communicating but when he is it doesn’t matter #so I like the idea that words are also not an ideal way to communicate with the Hulk because while he’s able to be direct #he doesn’t really have the skills to navigate that other people aren’t always blunt and truthful like he is #what I like about this character is these kinds of divisions #he’s got lots of problems and having issues with verbal communication is just one of them but then there’s lots of ways to play that issue #and they’re not necessarily contradictory and so can be played together #marvel #bruce banner #my posts #comic panels

Omg Hi, I love your ocs Peter and Winnie! I’m am so hooked!!! What is their story exactly?

I'm not sure if this is a new ask or one that I missed from back when I posted those drawings, but Peter and Winnie's story has actually changed recently, inspired by a dream I had! The first major change is that Peter is now Christopher, and they both have last names: Winnie Seo and Christopher Stuart. Initially, i had both of them meeting at an orphanage, but I've decided one of those predatory "troubled kids and delinquents" boarding schools where the parents sign guardianship over to the school is a better fit for the story I want to tell.

Winnie and Christopher were both sent to this boarding school for different reasons that ultimately boil down to them being neurodivergent- Christopher having unmanaged ADHD that causes him to lash out emotionally and get into fights at school, and Winnie being selectively mute due to her autism. Both of these traits will prove to be vital to their survival when a strange, supernatural virus hits, devastating the world's population and forcing survivors to fight against zombies who spread their infection through speech.

Once Christopher and Winnie escape into what's left of the world, they initially build their home base in an abandoned mall. Winnie's special interest is electricity, and for her age she's a prodigy at figuring out generators and batteries. This base lasts them a couple years before fuel runs out- when they strike out once more, their final destination is to the Hoover Dam, which Winnie believes will provide them enough power for the rest of their days. Along the way, Winnie and Christopher invent their own nonverbal language- Winnie never learned ASL, so her method of communication includes silent visual cues from moving her hands or head as well as auditory cues like snapping, stomping, and so forth.

When the virus in this universe first takes hold in the victim, there are no symptoms. But as the victim continues to talk, the disease progresses. First, the victim starts to lose their memories, and their speech becomes less coherent. Their speech becomes more and more garbled until everything else scrambles with it, leaving the victim a zombie whose only instinct is to spread its infection. (If you've ever seen the movie pontypool, it's effectively the virus from pontypool- except all spoken language on earth is effected, and not just english.) but since Winnie and Christopher don't talk, neither of them is able to incubate the virus, and the infection dies in their system and immunizes them.

Winnie and Christopher eventually run into other survivors along the way, including a deaf escaped inmate named Sawnie who becomes their adoptive father figure on the road to the Hoover Dam. Christopher is also on a search for his parents, who he hasn't given up hope on finding despite them sending him away.

That's Sawnie, btw. I should really draw more of him, because I'm pretty fond of how his design came out.

The story is still sort of a loose mishmosh of ideas and themes, but I'm going for it being an allegory for how neurodivergent and particularly adhd/autistic people have to navigate the world differently and essentially find 'cheatcodes' for surviving and thriving in a world that isn't built for them (like how Christopher, Winnie, and Sawnie survive by communicating nonverbally). If anyone reading this knows more about neurodivergence and the politics surrounding it than me (I am neurodivergent myself, but that doesn't make me an expert) and wants to give me some feedback or advice on this story, I'm totally open for it!

#ask #dairydraws #my ocs #kidcore #zombie apocalypse #pontypool #character design #the original story had a more explicitly supernatural angle inspired by fran bow coraline and little nightmares #Winnie would have had magic powers related to her sensory integration #which is what i was trying to represent in that image of her that got popular #the one where sensory overload is represented as multicolored spikes from her arm #but i thought the idea of a more grounded but still a little fantastical zombie apocalypse was easier to work with #theres other characters for this i haven't mentioned but this post is already kinda long #these changes in story were inspired by a dream i had where i was playing a horror game #where i was trapped in a room and had to determine if people outside the door were zombies or nor #based on whether or not their conversations made sense #they could make full sentences but couldn't string coherent ideas together. so i had to speak to them to determine if they were threats #thus letting the monsters know i was in the room waiting to be rescued by an uninfected human #i thought that was a cool enough zombie idea that it inspired me to rewrite Winnie's story #its funny to me that these two get so much attention because theyre some of my least fleshed out ocs #sad siblings

today i am taking the cassette tapes out of their old box (operating on the principle of “if a box is ancient and disintegrating and has been re-labelled 3 times and none of them are correct its time for it to go”). I am DELIGHTED to report that the first one I tried in my cassette player (yes i still have one of those too) worked perfectly (even if it took me several seconds too long to remember how to open the player lol)

i’ve asked my parents if they want an inventory list (since it’s possible there’s some music in there they don’t have on disc) and even so I’m thinking of keeping some around for the sheer Back In My Day We Had To Record CDs on These To Listen to them in the Car of it all. I mean, uh, the professional archival preservation interests that I have.

#it is just interesting from a metadata perspective ok #you put a tape in that stopped where it did decades ago #a snapshot in time #did we know that it would probably never be played again #well haha suckers I CAN PLAY THEM AGAIN SO >: ) #personal hapo #but i also think about it from the perspective of like #ok we are going to lose magnetic data on tape at some point and all #but even just sliding it in to the player is a sensory experience #and i like the idea that i can just Do That because What If i have to write a comic in a time period some time lol #i set up my vcr again last october and it was similarly a great decision #even though my vcr likes to SPIT at me with VIOLENCE lol #not me thinking about spike spiegel kicking the antique video players to death again sob

WHY did i not get noise cancelling headphones sooner holy shit hello. im immune to Sound now. i genuinely feel like ive been inflicted with a debuff this whole time and only realised it once i stumbled across an immunity accessory

#candy posts #wow i had no idea i was so badly affected by noise! haha crazy! (<- is literally autistic) #im not even kidding btw like. i feel so much less drained over the course of the day #like obv i still lose so much energy from Existing In Public (masking) but like. god damn dude #i was doing NOTICEABLY better at the end of my longest college day bro #the last class on that day is normally sensory hell but like. it WASNT as BAD!!!!! I DIDNT CONSTANTLY FEEL LIKE I WAS ABT TO IMPLODE!!!!!!! #we love disability accommodations and taking care of yourself ❤️ #now all i need to do is get rid of the Gender Dysphoria debuff and ill be strong enough to kill God #also can u tell ive been playing too much terraria by the way i talk abt debuffs and shit. shhh

unfortunately if the kas theory is that well known/liked by fandom it most likely will never happen and eddie will stay a one-off tragic ending for the show 💔

I think they should let you request music in clubs if they don't already. I'm just assuming that they usually don't

#just because i think that the DIVELA remix of Meltdown would do numbers #if i were drunk at a club and it came on i think that would be a religious experience for me #i just forgot how much i really like this song #its vocaloid did i mention that #i think they should play vocaloid in clubs #that would be a great idea #maybe this isnt club music its rave music #i dont know i dont think so #but maybe #i havent been to one of either of those places #does a rave count as a place #i feel like its more of a thing #unless theres a place that regularly has raves take place there #i want to go to a rave #but i think that would be a sensory nightmare #i should dj at a club id be great at it #(says a guy with absolutely 0 experience)
