some pre-game batim headcanons :>

Henry: - all he does is eat hot chip be bisexual and lie /j - has a preference for women so i think him realizing hes not straight is like hey wait a minute hey wait wait - joey was his gay awakening,,, real -gets burnout super easy, it probably frustrates him a lot when he cant draw - drawing is a big comfort for him - has pretty bad social anxiety, but has become pretty good at dealing with it!

Joey: - gay. this man is not into women at all sorry 💀 "i just dont have time for girls" yeah sure fruitcake - watch me project once again and give this man bpd. like im sorry his whole thing with henry?? im not even explaining it but if you get it you get it yea - also definitely has adhd - wheelchair user !! he is able to walk, but he still needs the wheelchair when flare ups get real bad. he is stubborn though and refuses to use it at work or when hes out of the house

more under the cut !!

Wally: - he has adhd, obviously - transgender !! i feel like hes a gnc binary trans man - hes straight to me, but his gf/wife is also trans >:D t4t win - i feel like he likes to gossip. the thought of him, norman, shawn, maybe even jack whispering to eachother in a corner about some random secrets theyve overheard is super funny to me

Sammy: - AUTISM... hes autistic - gets overwhelmed and overstimulated super easily, hence why hes always so irritable - yknow what im giving him bipolar. hes my comfort character and i get to project my mental illness !! - hes gay and demiromantic - honestly? transfem i see it. bc like im thinking about how he talks about susies singing like. i know what you are - bad with boundaries.. he is so bad at them and reading social cues - hates being touched, probably is only comfortable with jack for the most part - watch him crush on like half the men mentioned in this post at least once

Norman: - hes also autistic. his sense of humor is so??? 😭 - HES ALSO DEFINITELY AN OLDER GAY GUY. he just has that energy yknow like if you agree - probably would be agender too - him and sammy are that incompatible type of autism havers does this make sense?? like some autistic people i just cant stand because of my autism, our places on the spectrum make it so hard to like them yk? thats norman and sammy - this man definitely has insomnia

Susie: - lesbian. she doesnt know it yet but she is - her calling sammy handsome isnt her being attracted to him its just gender envy 😁 - shes just a feminine transmasc 👍 - rejection sensitive dysphoria out the ASS my poor girl - very insecure deep down, so she overcompensates for it by trying to be a people pleaser n stuff

Allison: - shes bisexual !! has a strong preference for women - shes a trans woman idc idc i love her - AUTISTIC AS HELL - i imagine she had a sibling like relationship with joey - probably one of the few people that could tell him off without like. getting fired lol

Buddy: - adhd and autism,, special intrest in art/drawing - AROACE. the stuff he says about his friendship with dot?? "i didnt know we could just be friends" and him not being too into his first assumption when she pulls him away to show him the bendyland model?? yea - honestly i think he has social anxiety hes doing his best - hes very sensitive over people bringing up him being jewish, he seems so ready to be made fun of or scorned for it :( - definitely some cultural detachment because of it (im projecting again) - i think dot would wanna learn about about it, buddy should teach her stuff!! like traditions and whatnot

Tom: - asexual 👍 - TRANSGENDER. probably would be nonbinary, heavily masc leaning though - he smokes a lot have you heard this man good lord. i dont think allison is a fan of it - anger issues,, mostly caused by stress and a lack of sleep, hes trying his best :( - he has arthritis. hes not old but god do his joints fee like it. he has crutches !! like joey though he only really uses em at home 💀

Jack: - wheelchair user jack my BELOVED idk where the hc came from but im all for it - he cant walk, but is able to get around just fine! watch him try and do wheelies to impress sammy only to almost fall over - 100% autistic as well. him and sammy are able to be autism together - unlabeled aromantic - hes such a loser /loving

Grant: - poor guy gets chronic headaches someone give him some painkillers - hes got generalized anxiety disorder this man cannot get a break - demisexual and demiromantic,, mans is double demi

Shawn: - adhdtism 😭 - LOVES to talk, he could go on for hours dude - i feel like he knows a lot of ridiculously obscure knowledge. for why? dont worry about it - he gives me genderfluid vibes - literally just some guy

hmmmm.. is thaw!slime an e9 or an e1...? or an e7? but maybe i got the potential e7 core vibe bc he's a really healthy e1 (and also most likely still has a 7 fix)????

and also when i guessed e9 for him, i figured he probably has a 1 wing. but maybe it's the other way around and he has a 9 wing??? though wings are confusing sometimes (and honestly, they're relatively new in comparison to the rest of the enneagram so the stuff i'm reading doesn't even include them most of the time. + they're really divisive. some ppl in the enneagram community think that both of your type's wings have an impact on you, though maybe at different points of your life, some ppl think only one wing ever does, and some people disregard wings entirely.. im not fully sure where i stand on them yet tbh, though i do think they're interesting, even if there's not as much info about them as there is for other aspects of the enneagram.)

but like, e1s and e9s are both in the anger triad, and so they both care a lot about autonomy and control, they just get it in different ways, through their different stances. e9s withdraw to feel some kind of autonomy, while e1s try to earn/work for it.. (btw e8s are the aggressive stance, so they'll be the ones who Demand autonomy. just in case anyone was wondering)

then there's always the question of how much autistic traits play into personality traits, and how they differ (this is also a problem that i ran into when trying to type both myself and my litle brother). bc e1s like for things to be done right all the time, but an autistic sense of justice can also do that. so how much is the e1 and how much is the autism, and how can you tell the difference, yk? bc obviously not every autistic person is an e1. there's no single 'autistic' type (though there technically kinda is, since naranjo called e5 the 'autistic type', due to how they are known for having very fixed interests and not being great at or interested in socializing with other people all that much. ofc, i don't think he's saying that all autistic ppl are e5s, nor is he saying that e5s are all autistic, just that there's a lot of overlap between those traits. but comparing the enneagram to things in the dsm is honestly a whole other post in itself..) but like. it's a bit hard to have one type encapsulate a wholeass spectrum, and i've made a list on where different autistic traits and experiences can overlap with the different enneatypes.

but yeah i'm just not sure on thaw!slime's type yet lmao. he definitely hasn't shown up in the story enough times for me to actually type him with very much certainty as of rn, this is mostly just me speculating on what he Could potentially be, and pondering on where potential mistakes could be made... i guess we'll just have to wait and see :]

#thaw nation #the enneagram is great and super accurate. as long as you correctly type the person in question. therein lies the issue.#i think that's part of why ppl are skeptical of this test tbh. bc most of these online tests for the enneagram are disgustingly inaccurate #so ppl go with the wrong types for themselves and then it's not as helpful as it can be #i thought i was an e2 for the longest time (back when i didn't know anything about it).#then i actually got into it a couple years later and realized that that test i took was very inaccurate and the results skewed towards e2 #ofc there are other reasons too but that was definitely my issue with it before. i was mistyped and figured that it was just a bad typology #ever spin #forgive me for any mistakes in this. it is 2 am 👍

It's 3am, i am exhausted mentally and physically, I am sleepy so I don't know if i'm going to make sense but I will try. I just want to say, that the more i read Nietzsche, the more i feel like his philosophy is written for me. For most people, their intellectual hero would be Einstein, but for me its Nietzsche. Nietzsche has changed me in profound ways that nobody else in my lifetime. I would also add Dostoevsky. I love these men I am actually tearing up as I write this as no words can just express how I feel about my realizations and reflections on their wisdom and how it impacted my views in life. Its like everything in my world just started to make sense. In my world, which has always been cruel and chaotic, full of pain and suffering, yet there is something beautiful about it. I wish to meet a Nietzschean in the 21st century, but then again I am incapable of forming close relationships with people. I don't think I am in the autism spectrum though, because I am not socially retarded. I just can't speak to people in general about things I don't care about, such as gossips and other nonsensical blabber. Its not because I'm being arrogant, i do think its a problem that I can be pretty bad with small talk, but I don't know, i just don't know what questions to ask when I'm not interested, even its something to do with me.Its like my brain stops working when confronted with "stuff idgaf" because it doesn't have any room for irrelevant information. Despite my excellent memory I tend to be forgetful of basic stuff that normal people don't forget and I often misplace my personal belongings because I just genuinely never think of them. And another thing is, its not like i can just tell people about what honestly goes through my head when they try to make conversations about topics i don't care about. My opinions about anything mainstream are usually extremist, brutal and critical so unless I have an issue with you then I don't see any point in expressing them. I don't like lying and being fake either (unless i have ulterior motive) because its just makes me feel awkward. So in summary, 'just be yourself' advice doesn't always work, it could possibly even make someone even more socially retarded. The only thing I usually do is ignore people and act like I dont breathe the same air as them, I'm nearsighted anyways and without my glasses I can't see shit.

I have NPC energy, i only talk to people unless they approach me first, and if they did, it has to be something i care to talk about. I usually like talking about ideas, scenarios and whatsup with people close to my heart. It honestly sucks sometimes but whatever. I feel like its better to mind my own business than waste my time on stuff i don't even care about. That being said, I have an exemption about this certain type of people who likes to talk, I'm talking about narcissistic snowflakes who likes to talk about themselves. I genuinely enjoy listening to them because they are more likely interesting, entertaining and quirky compared to the general, normie population. There is always something intriguing and fascinating about them so I tend to also get along very well with these individuals which should be surprising considering I also display narcissistic traits. But behind the scenes, i feel like me being mixed with a narcissist triggers my other dark triad traits. They make me feel like i'm in control of their life and there just something amusing about that yk. Narcissists are actually more easier to manipulate than normal people if you know how to play your cards well. But i dont have always bad intentions. Like I said, I just genuinely like their company

Going out of tangent, I did have an ex boyfriend who was a narcissist, and he was probably the only partner I got along most with. He wasn't annoyingly self absorbed, he could communicate like a normal person and always had interesting questions (but i know he asks questions so he could talk about himself lol). He talked like he was special, like he's the main character. But you know what? I could listen to him talk about himself all day long and would thank him for his time and sharing stories. I like that energy. I'm attracted to confidence. I guess it helps his confidence because hes arguably also the hottest guy ive ever been with, he's 6'3 tall, has 6 pack abs and also 7" down there. Ya, thats the shallowness in me. I'm superficial sometimes not gonna deny that. But no, I dont miss him at all. And even though he gave me some good experience i am no longer attracted to him, which is weird but idk, i guess its because right now i'm still hang up on Robert, my thirst for him is really preventing me to have feelings for other people and i just dont know what to do, hes an asshole who treats me like shit, he has just that handsome face and he makes me feel good sexually but hes absolutely nothing compared to Jonathan. Its funny that im just objectifying men but again, im not complaining about being objectified either. im just being honest, its hard trying to stop myself from being a hoe, i'm suffering but i CANT do that because i'm a moralfag and supposed to be a high value woman. But then again, my ego and my self respect come first before my thirst. If he actually does give me love and attention like Diego and even his older brother does to me i would have no problem actively engaging with him but he's acting like a douchebag and right now i'm just not available to do any casual sexual relationships with shitty people no matter how thirsty i am. its not my thing. i prefer relationships with solid foundations and not just some fast paced connection. thats just not gonna fly with me

Hi! Actual serious question: How do you not feel awkward when stanning someone a lot younger than you? And I don't mean this in a judgmental way, it's cool the 1D fandom covers such a wide age variety. It's just, I look at people like Billie Eilish and Olivia Rodrigo, who are younger than me, and sometimes I'm like oh god they're CHILDREN. (I know they're adults, but yk what I mean right?)

How do you do that? 😅🧐

To be honest, I'm not sure how to answer this. I think the only time I ever felt awkward about being a fan of anyone I was in my late teens. And I felt like it wasn't cool to be into the Backstreet Boys even though I really always loved boybands. lol. I stopped giving a fuck a looooooong time ago. I've always loved pop music and I probably always will.

My oldest son is really into music and we have the best time talking about music. He's not really into the same stuff as me anymore but he used to love One Direction, too. My younger son is on the autism spectrum and he LOVES music especially Niall's music. And music is what I always say is the way that my son learned to communicate with us. Some of his first words were One Direction members' names. "Ni-yall" "Harreh" "Youie" "Yum Yum" and "Zack". lol. He was in love with the Best Song Ever video and loved to name them all. Music is just something I've always been into and I'm so happy my kids are into it, too.

So I guess to answer your questions (sorry I rambled) I don't feel weird about liking musicians that are younger than me. You don't get too old for newer music and artists. I love pop music, and I like One Direction's music and therefore, I'm a fan. (Oh, and also I love Olivia Rodrigo! I think her album is great and inspiring and I wrote a fic about one of her songs. And it just doesn't matter how old she is, she still wrote songs that inspire me and that I could relate to!)

#sorry for rambling so much #i wasn't quite sure how to answer #because I don't ever feel awkward about it #anon #ask #also the thing about 1d is that...Louis is turning 30 this year #none of them are close to being children anymore really #and none of them act childishly #i'm closer in age to them than teenagers are...

Hi!! I am writing a spy novel featuring an autistic character, and while I have been doing research on autism and the do’s and dont’s, is there anything you would suggest/mention?

I am allistic, and my character—Person A—is an adult Black woman in her twenties. She stims a lot, has turn-offs (like touching gross fabric or eating weird textures), is good at social cues, but isn’t very good at recognizing her own emotions. Is this a good/accurate autistic person? What should I remember while writing her character?

I also want to include another character—Person B—who is a very close friend of A. Person B is highly empathetic (although not as much as you’ve described in posts about your hyperempathy) and helps Person A recognize and handle her emotions. Would this be acceptable? I don’t want to push the idea that autistic people need assistance to recognize their own emotions.

hi!!! thanks so much for sending this! i’m glad you’re being so respectful and good about doing research. but just a reminder, whatever you do, ask autistic people like you have been doing, don’t go to sites like autism speaks.

i should preface this by saying that i’m only in high school, and i am white, so it won’t be exact.

that sounds pretty accurate, yeah! i stim a lot (for me it’s pretty subtle, fidgeting too, though i flap my hands or rock back and forth sometimes), and that is in part because of my adhd. and the texture thing is super important!!! while it doesn’t happen to every autistic person, it’s pretty common, and it can be very random things (one of mine is elbow pasta. not pasta in general, i love pasta, but i hate elbow pasta specifically. i cannot stand it.) such as velvet or tin foil or wet grass. and vice versa, there are also textures we might love (especially plush or soft things)!

and social cues can be a difficult one. i myself am pretty good with social cues, but some other autistic people aren’t. everyone is different; and it’s important to remember that autism is a spectrum, but not from “less autistic” to “more autistic.” it’s more like a soup. you can have more or less of different “ingredients” like social cue understanding, stimming, hyperfocusing, verbal communication, etc!

the emotion thing is also a great question! like with other parts of autism, emotions (both how intensely you feel them and whether it’s easy to recognize them) are different for everyone.

as someone who is hyperempathetic because of my autism, i think it’s a great system of support! (and for some extra tips for character B, maybe have them occasionally get overloaded with emotion, and try to assign tells to their own emotions!)

this is especially a great system if, as you said, characters A and B are close friends. there’s nothing wrong with leaning on friends and getting support! just make sure that all of your characters (based on personalities and potential trust issues, ofc) all rely on friends, so it’s not just the autistic character who has support. but yeah, that sounds awesome!

also, whatever you do, steer clear of the sheldon cooper archetype, or the robotic, factual personalities we see all too often in autistic characters. we’re people! there’s nothing wrong with having your autistic character be intelligent; in fact, that’s a good thing! but don’t make them the super smart, math whiz, all-knowing nerd type, yk? again there’s nothing wrong with being autistic and a nerd, but don’t do the stereotype.

that said, some of us do enjoy very “left-brained” things. but in general, don’t make us sheldon coopers.

sorry this answer was so long! any other autistic people please feel free to chime in in the notes/reblogs!! and feel free to send any other questions you might have.

(also, spy novel with autistic main female character of color???? amazing, 10/10 would read)
