OK but I am so obsessed with Binx and their warlocks - the way Binx has to give something up to give her warlocks favours, especially big favours like what she gave Scratch?

I haven't really experienced this idea of playing AS the powerful being/patron in practice before, but I'm really enjoying the idea of them not having loads of power that they can hand out on a whim, or just deriving power from their people's worship or devotion or oath or whatever you want to call it, but it actually being a two-way thing where they also have to put real work and effort and resources into this relationship

#i legit teared up a little bit when she gave scratch the spell slot bc like #it felt like she was really putting something o herself into it #maybe not the hugest sacrifice to give up an inessential part of your outfit but it was something she'd worked on and it was her mask #so it was almost a safety net or shield against all the attention they were getting at the ball #and they probably legit saved his life #idk im just rotating binx around in my head like a washing machine #also andhera #is it just me or are they both autistic coded af #a court of fey and flowers #via shitposts #dimension 20

Personally, I loved all the flag designs because they stood out and added splashes of unique in a sea of rainbows.

The wording was "represent what you think of when you think of Pride!" And I strongly believe that these people understood the assignment. Not everyone will think rainbows and glitter everywhere as their first reaction or as their focus. Some will think of the Stonewall Riots, some of the community as a whole, some what they see at a Pride event, maybe others about their identity and the feeling of belonging, etc. The point is that different people will think of different things when they think of pride and that is okay! Very diverse community. We won't all think alike!

#mweor #kinda like if I asked you all to think of a cake #not everyone will think of the same type flavor or style of cake #and that is okay because a cake is a cake which means all the cakes fit the think of a cake instruction #sorry if this makes no sense #I am bad with words #and explaining #and examples and metaphors and whatevers #i mean this as a polite explanation of another view and to tell everyone that I liked both the rainbow and flag designs #I have trouble reading tones and sometimes come across as the wrong tone apparently so just wanna let yall know #this is friendly encouragement and I'm autistic af #rip

handshake w/anyone framed as "abnormal" but once again [trans] handshake [autistic] the way this is so parallel to me continually taking all winston's material in stride and in earnest as just more regular stuff that's probably even extra appealing, then be left to piece together that we're also all supposed to have always taken it all as a joke in the first place

#like yeah what of it? epic? nice? fun? kind and dynamic and engaging? #waiting around on the payoff for anything for him but we were apparently supposed to have laughed at him in the moment & moved on #less obvious than in other series; here they still operate by the same rules but it's obfuscated by everyone being ''''''weird'''''' still #and everyone also being hostile to everyone else. so that being ramped up towards winston is unsurprising but not inherently exclusive #like waiting around for anyone to process anything abt an autistic person. any minute now. & then they never do like wow just like irl #yet it's still disappointing & inherently insulting every time. just like irl #luckily taylor not being cis / being gnc af is not a joke but ofc not itself this sky high bar #whilest characters who Are meant to be being assholes do make jokes abt ppl doing gender/sexuality wrong #whilest even if you assume winston is cis & straight; he's doing both ''wrong'' ''enough'' too #certainly thinking abt & discussing if he Did get more gnc w/it....that could be a joke to ppl. viewers for sure. characters possibly even #you do get that overlap like ''well but it's still wrong when you do it'' as an additional layer re: being autistic even if someone's #Supposedly fine w/ppl being trans; gnc af; etc. add the [negative intrinsic qualities ascribed to the physical qualities] factor. like irl. #winston billions #meanwhile the person who tweeted this is also both trans and autistic

Halsin's autism coding really jumps out in his camp confession scene

Both the romantic and platonic one. Starting with the romantic one:

He thinks asking about his past lovers is a sign of interest (I notice a lot of autistic folks like us tend to never get it "right"- when we guess that someone might be interested because of cues we were told were romantic, we get it wrong, whereas when someone is showing certain cues, we think it's just friendly!)

The way he feels the need to explain why he thinks you're interested in him before you accept or reject. This one isn't explicitly explained, of course, but it is very easy to read it as an autistic person afraid of being harshly rejected/told they're insane to think there was a connection, so he puts out an explanation first in the hopes of softening the blow if he turned out to be wrong.

Halsin completely, and adorably, misinterprets the player if they tell him "maybe your heart stirs easier than you think"; he doesn't understand that the player is partially slut-shaming him (which is rude af on the player's end, but he misses this because he's honestly un-slutshamable, so he would never be offended here) and partially asking for clarification- how can you have had many lovers yet your heart doesn't stir easily? Not understanding this, Halsin goes on to tell stories of his past exploits, which are hot and very welcome, but also very much not what the player as getting at.

If the player is an absolute asshole and mocks him by comparing him to a deep rothe, he is crushed, but stays calm, simply telling them that they could have just said no- he doesn't call the player a jerk like they deserved. Just feels very true to the 'tism experience.

This line alone could stand as proof, I think: "Nature gifted us our desires, and the means to act on them. But we muddied its beautiful simplicity with rules, social strictures... clothes." He hates social structures for their complexity, and prefers something simpler. The dislike of social structures, of their nebulous nature, is a core autistic experience.

If the player says they only helped because he's a useful ally, he once again misreads; he misses that the statement was a rejection, and responds earnestly that he sees them as much more than an ally.

For the new platonic path:

If the player tells him they just want him to carry heavy things for them, he responds differently based on his approval levels to them (I.E. based on how close they are and how kind he feels the player is); at low approval, he is deeply hurt by this, and sadly muses that "perhaps not all friendships are destined to be balanced and reciprocal." Yet... he still considers it a friendship, even though that is in practice no friendship at all. A lot of autistic folks have this experience of being friends with people who don't share the same level of affection, or even outright mistreat, us.

In fact, the same thing happens in another variation: if the player snarks about Halsin inviting himself along (a way of saying "get lost"), he laughs and warmly says that he guesses he did invite himself along, and that he will be "more tactful when trying to make friends in future." Declaring oneself friends with others is such a classic autistic experience, but even MORE so is declaring yourself friends with someone who only tolerates, or even actively dislikes, you. It's quite sad- but also very endearing, because I feel so SEEN in that moment.

people reading Toshiro as being repulsed by Laois and drawn to Falin and saying it's dumb af because they're both autistic but he's doing the autistic men - annoying autistic women - manic pixie dream girl are ignoring several things but the biggest thing for me is

Laois and Falin are both autism coded but the way they behave, especially towards Toshiro, is radically different. Most obvious example that we see time and time again is Laois blatant disrespect of Toshiro's personal space. He is constantly right there, in his face, touching him, taking every minute of his time while Toshiro, having grown up in a very different sort of world with very different social cues that Laois would not be aware of, is fucking dying because, as he says, he knows Laois is being totally sincere in his actions and Toshiro would appear and feel like an asshole if he was blunt with Laois!

Falin, notably, doesn't do this! Toshiro is seen interacting with Falin several times (including having these hangouts interrupted by Laois), but she doesn't push into his space and demand physical intimacy the way that Laois does.

I desperately need dunmeshi fans to get their heads out of their asses about Shuro and remember that this man is from a completely different culture than the Toudens and everyone else and has different societal rules and cultural norms that basically handicap him in awkward situations like most of the interactions we see from his and Laois's past. I also need people to fucking recognize that Laois and Falin are very similar and very neurodivergent but their behavior towards Toshiro in particular is very different and Shuro is drawn towards the sibling who doesn't constantly make him uncomfortable in a way Shuro feels he can't call out.

And you're allowed to ship Falin and Marcille without fucking demonizing the man who fell in love with her weird and gentle nature!

Sword gays showdown, round 2 of bracket one

Propaganda:

For Zoro:

Literally training to be the greatest swordsman in the world. Has a special three swords technique (one blade in each hand plus one with the handle held in his teeth). I haven't read the manga or watched the anime but the live action adaptation gives me extremely gay vibes and based on the fandom things I've seen I'm not the only one

bro uses three swords. has one in his mouth. dont ask how the HELL he manages that. one day he will be the worlds greatest swordsman....after he beats the current greatest for both the titles of greatest swordsman and fruitiest swordsman. he's dramatic as FUUUCK like bro what the hell. has homoerotic fights with the local twink like everyday. directionally challenged, can and will get lost in a paper bag, doesnt know left from right...he probably cant read, too. hes too silly ngl

First of all, im in like episode 250 and so far he hasnt been shown attracted to any woman at all during the whole show so far, not even when one changed clothes in the same room as him and this is anime so you know there were other characters with bloody noses and shit. With that out of the way he wields three swords at once [two in his hands, one is his goddamn mouth dude. Its cool af trust me.] When he was little he made a promise to his best friend that he'd be the best swordsman in the world. Later she died in a tragic accident and left her sword which he still uses today. He also carries a cursed sword but he overpowers the curse with a combination of skill and sheer luck. He got stuck in a chimney. While his crewmates sail their ship he takes naps. He learned how to cut through metal by fighting a guy who could turn his body into metal blades. That's metal. He refuses to fight this liberal marine officer because she looks like his childhood best friend and its just understandably really awkward for him. He's autistic. He's a he/him bisexual lesbian. He's a gay man. He's ace/aro. He's whatever you want him to be babey!!

he has 3 swords, wields one in his mouth sometimes, his dream is to be the greatest swordsman in the world

three swords and big aroace-spec gay vibes

He not only has a sword he has *three* swords. He's absolutely gay there's no way to see this man as straight. Also one time he licked his sword for no reason and that was really funny to me so I had to mention it

Look, this man thinks about three things: Swords, His Captain, and Booze. He’s on a quest to be the worlds greatest swordsman. The Live action has a scene where he declares his undying, unwavering loyalty to his captain WHILE reaffirming his promise to be the worlds greatest swordsman. At this point His dream and his Captain are so intertwined it’s crazy. Man is so sword-y he’s got three of them. When one of his swords broke he carried its empty scabbard until he was able to give it a SWORD FUNERAL. He hears a sword is cursed and takes that as a challenge. He will literally tell his swords off for “bad behavior” when they “act up” due to being straight up cursed. He tests one by throwing it in the air and sticking his arm out to see if it is so blood thirsty and ill tempered that it will cut him. Even though he’s literally the first mate if you ask him what his role is he’s going to answer Swordsman.

He's dedicated his life to two things: becoming the greatest swordsman in the world and his captain, Luffy. 

He mastered the three sword style. Its his style. It would've been more swords but he could only fit one sword in each hand and one in his mouth. He wants to be the world's greatest swordsman, a deal he made with his childhood best frenemy (before she died falling down the stairs). He thought he was All That at the start and was almost completely decimated by the actual Worlds Greatest Swordsman. Now, after two years forced training with that guy, he's probably in the top tier no-doubt, and honestly could already be the best but we just don't know for sure yet. Also, did I mention: he's got the whole demon/devil imagery going on at times. And he has absolutely no sense of direction! plus is a total softie when it comes to Chopper and all the children who somehow gravitate towards him. And he loves naps!

One of the guy's main goals in life is to be the best sword fighter and he fights with three swords which I think is telling enough of his skill.

For Sayaka Miki:

my favourite scene is the one where Sayaka turns off all her pain receptors to battle the shadow witch, uncaring of the damage dealt to her body, because what is a body but a decaying vessel you must eventually abandon anyway? that was very depression of her <3 Also there’s that one time (in the rebellion movie) where Sayaka stabs herself on her own sword to release the witch that dwells within her. and then she immediately gets up to fight back to back with her girlfriend. that moment lives rent free in my head. Sayaka is so depression and I love her for it:)

SHES SO GAY ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY SHE FLIRTS W THE MAIN CHARACTER HER NARRATIVE FOIL IS ANOTHER GIRL W TBE OPPOSITE COLOR SCHEME THEYRE RED BLUE LESBIAN MOMENT YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT ELSE ??? SHE COMES TO THIS FALSE REALITY LITERALLY JUST TO SEE HER GIRLFRIEND ALIVE THEY LIVE TOGETHER AND THERES A WHOLE OUTRO SEQUENCE JUST W THE TWO OF THEM SHE STUDIED THE GAY BLADE I STG also she uses a sword 🗡️ love u sayaka

listen I just think [nsft under cut]

trans croc should fuck buggy using his own cock as a strap, all while forcing him to call himself croc's naughty little girl <3

buggy should warm croc's dick while he's doing paperwork because that's all he's good for, and croc pretends to be getting annoyed that he's so squirmy and hungry for stimulation but he's actually getting off on it

mihawk's first time with buggy should be fraught with mihawk asking himself (and buggy) 'what did shanks see in you?', and buggy returning the favour. it was bittersweet and a bit brutal. mihawk actually felt a bit bad after.

mihawk should be in an established relationship with croc that's built on mutual respect, if not love, and appreciation of each other's skill & rep <3 they're steady, mature, and sensible about it. they have a genuine, deep connection that they never expected to find in each other, but now it's there, it would take a lot to break.

he and croc are very relaxed and kinda gentle and versatile and switchy with each other? But then they both see buggy and internally say 'I want to obliterate him'

It takes quite a while for mihawk and croc to admit this to each other though. When they finally do, it's a big relief - they just... shake hands, exchange a nod, and get to work

To start with, they really don't give a shit about buggy at all, they just wanna fuck him. but he's... kinda adorably flustered and fun and responsive and... hm. He's a worthless little worm. But when they tell him that, he tearfully agrees and gets hard? Cute.

mihawk is suuuuper quiet but buggy and croc both find any vocalisation they get him to make a HUGE turn-on

mihawk has cold-dom'd buggy to tears

croc has rough-dom'd buggy to tears

both of them have death-threat'd him to begging and tears mid-sex, but he never safewords because he's soooo stupidly horny about the danger and degradation

buggy just ugly-cries a lot okay

mihawk is surprisingly good at aftercare, even if he approaches it in a very regimented, methodical autistic af way. He's the most invested in the future of the Cross Guild, and somewhere deep within that mysterious brain he's planned their throuple marriage. Even though he still despises buggy and croc alike on some days.

croc is kinda standoffish and leery about showing affection at first (to anything but his bananawani). With mihawk it wasn't a big deal - but buggy is absolutely, 5000% a snuggler. Not to mention a terribly rough, mobile sleeper. And though he always bitches, croc can't imagine waking up without a foot wedged under his chin or a disembodied arm hooked over his knee. He doesn't know when he got used to having these two idiots as semi-permanant fixtures in his life, but he's kinda pissed that he doesn't want them gone.

buggy is still 90% terrified, 10% horny, but that's better than 99% terrified, right? He still thinks of himself as an intruder - a business-only investment who's only alive because he's a useful scapegoat + fucktoy. Of course they don't actually like or respect him. Who would? He's out for himself, like he always has been. Ready to split if the water gets too hot or a better opportunity comes along.

...but his followers love him.......and the sex is good (even if it inevitably leaves him a shaking, whimpering wreck).........and he might actually have a chance at snatching the One Piece if he has two awesome powerhouses in his pocket.................... and.... and look, the sex is really good, okay?

........and maybe he likes how mihawk is quietly thoughtful, showing care through little actions rather than words (fixing little things Buggy's complained about, always somehow knowing which part of his back to rub)

...............and how croc only cares about money and power, but still sometimes gets this strange, soft look in his eyes when it's a quiet evening and the three of them are sitting together sharing space, but all doing their own thing. he always looks oddly scared about it, like he doesn't quite know what to do with whatever he's feeling, and buggy has this stupid urge to cuddle up beside him and rest his cheek on his big shoulder and just share his warmth

but he doesn't because he doesn't want to get punched into next week

.........until one night he does and croc just looks down at him with those unfathomable eyes and smiles

and across the room, mihawk's deep in his book, feet curled up under him in the chair, but he's smiling too

and now Buggy's the one getting all choked up, though he doesn't know why

This is all to say that Buggy is the last one to catch feels. One day he busts into The Meeting Room (sex dungeon) in the middle of an actual meeting and shrieks 'ARE WE DATING????' to which croc and mihawk blankly stare and reply buggy. buggy we have been in a dedicated polyamorous relationship for five years

THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN EVERY EPISODE OF TEEN WOLF EVER

part ii (part i HERE)

coach finstock philosophy being the thing that actually fixes you

a soundtrack that consists of the sort of music that makes you wish you were no longer alive, plus (ironically) the excellent song lose your soul by dead man's bones 

jeff davis forgetting character's ages and back stories and sometimes the characters themselves (fuck you forever for kira, jeff, you massive poopy head)

jeff davis forgetting the plot

jeff davis forgetting the fact that nobody likes him

tuning in for sterek and staying for sterek even when jeff davis stops giving the sterek scenes together, and staying for sterek even after one half of sterek leaves, in the hope that the half of sterek who left will one day return so you can keep on watching for sterek even though sterek is not even canon and you know inherently it never will be  

brilliantly appalling special FX

meredith having even crazier eyes than the character from the show orange is the new black who has crazy eyes and is actually named crazy eyes 

tyler hoechlin hands down having the best spine-tingling-hairs-standing-up-on-the-back-of-your-neck werewolf roar of any werewolf on any film or tv show about werewolves ever FIGHT ME

queer allegory my beloved <3

isaac inexplicably wearing a scarf all-year-round

all the characters bar derek (only bc it's hard to get it wrong with a henley and black jeans which is all he ever wears apart from the one-time crimson thumbhole shirt that was inspired drip) having honestly the worst fucking dress sense

jackson being the angriest most brilliantly hammy antagonist ever with the best facial expressions known to humankind who ends up evolving into the most adorable gayest gay to ever gay living his best life in londonia with his lovely boyfriend ethan where they are now both runway models for jean paul gaultier (who everybody knows is a french werewolf from way back when in the la bête du gévaudan era)

getting the feeling you should be doing absolutely anything else with your time instead of watching these idiots yet being completely addicted to loving this penny and dime clown show more than you love your own nearest and dearest 

VOID STILES BEING A 1000 YEAR OLD FOX DEMON THAT MAKES YOU HARD

having the constant need to shake scott vigorously because he is the funko pop! bobble head we all know and are forced to tolerate 

chris argent being such a cringe over-the-top-gun-toting-who's-your-daddy-badass that he somehow actually manages to circle back around to being rad af  

chris argent being so real and a dilf

none of the characters ever talking about the fact that scott's dad was an abusive arsehole apart from stiles because stiles is a champion amongst men who makes sure to tell scott's dad between scenes that his head looks like a cross between a crescent moon and a foot

every single character on the show knowing that there is not a hint of a shadow of a doubt that derek and stiles are doin the narsty—even the off-camera characters we never get to meet are always congregating on the reg in the grocery store or the coffee shop or the WSWA (We See Werewolves Anonymous) bi-weekly meetings and are all like "you know that furious-looking autistic dude with the spectacular monobrow whose eyes are sometimes definitely way too blue? and the noodly peewee herman MIT ADHD kid with the duct tape jeep whose dad is the sheriff of this fictional town none of us live in? they are definitely fucking omg." 

each and every school lesson we see scott and stiles attending actually being a top secret pentagram level mission impossible code for whatever supernatural shit is about to go down in beacon hills that day 

outing you as the monsterfucker you really are LMFAO

I went to my local library to charge my phone and found a book that made me think of @autistic-af

“Guide to bohemian cemeteries”

*note: the adjective “český” can mean both “czech“ and “bohemian”, however I scrolled through the book (mainly to look for cemeteries I know) and it focuses on bohemian cemeteries only

#only disappointing thing is that it’s mostly focused on the people buried there #which makes it something my mom would like and would drag us to them to see where “so and so” is buried #But to a foreigner it’s just a bunch of famous historical figures who you have never heard of

[canyourfavesurvivecastledracula]

Can Rose Maybud survive Castle Dracula? That etiquette book of hers seems to be more useful than you'd think for confronting the Gothic... on the other hand, she's probably delicious.

Sweet Rose Maybud! Both polite and virtuous, and probably autistic af. Of course she's delicious - but she's so kind, she would offer Dracula something else to ear first. This apple, perhaps?

Of course she accepts the crucifix. Etiquette demands it. But it is improper for young ladies being abducted by strange Counts at night to imbibe alcohol, so she declines the Slivovitz. Her book probably has a whole chapter on how a Gothic Heroine ought to behave. Never encourage your Evil Foreign Count or Bad Baronet in his wickedness - you must win him through forthright virtue.

Rose will not go exploring unescorted, nor will she sleep in places she has been instructed not to. Her manners are far to good for that. Nor would she dream of asking to be released early. ...nor is she going to commit the extreme impropriety of removing her shoes for the purpose of wall climbing. (We know from Mina what a social, aha, faux pas that would be)

Rose is also not afraid to correct other people's etiquette. She will show Dracula in her book exactly where it is inappropriate for an Evil Count to enter a young lady's private rooms before she is dressed. Especially without knocking.

Oh my God if he throws her book out the window what does she do??? Does she go berserk? Does she BSOD? Does she quote him by rote how impolite that was??? Does she find a new copy in his library?

Or does it not come to that because there's no blood involved, so Dracula is more at his ease? Does Dracula recognize what a resource he has in her - not just a dialect coach but an Etiquette model? He does not want to stand out as a foreigner after all - the things she could teach him about pocket squares and exactly how to shake hands in the English fashion. What the most socially acceptable ways are to stalk pretty girls in Picadilly.

Rose has truly amazing powers o !!!!f persuasion as well. She seems almost preternaturally able to convince people who actively wish her ill to back down in the face of her Sweetness and Virtue. She might well be able to shame Dracula for his breaches of etiquette in such a way that he's like "oh sorry my bad" at least until he gets out of the room and is like .....wait a minute.

Now I am imagining Dracula doing his whole "It is a vile thing - an insult to friendship and hospitality" bit and Rose just going "no it isn't, look here on page 143, it says a maiden engaged to be married may send coded love notes to her paramour no more than twice a month, and only if the contents would still be within the rules of etiquette if spoken aloud" and Dracula has no idea what to do with this information. Rose would be so hurt by the implication that she was doing anything that might contravene her Rules of Etiquette.

Now all this is assuming that her book of etiquette actually does cover getting carried off by an Evil Foreign Count and/or Bad Baronet. Rose is not going to rules lawyer things in her favor - she will absolutely take actions against her own interest if they are prescribed by The Book, and she is not great at... contextualization. Or getting creative with it. She's following her book, not weaponizing it. Her survival is going to be entirely dependent on how well her book anticipates this precise situation, and how tolerant Dracula is of her innocently schooling him in this way.

But I guess it's all moot because when she gets to June 30th she's going to be politely waiting for the Calèche to come and then the Girlies will eat her. Maybe she's the blonde vampire that gets first dibs on unlabeled solicitors. I think she'd make a really great vampire, honestly. So she can probably last the two months, but not actually make it out alive.

Having reversed myself three times, I must sadly say that Sweet Rose Maybud can not survive Castle Dracula
