the thing that always gets me ESPECIALLY about autistic representation in media is that we are universally portrayed as happy-go-lucky, whimsical children, completely oblivious to the fact that the world constantly judges and scorns and HATES us.

We notice. I noticed. The reason I am as messed up as I am today is because i spent 20 LONG years in an environment where every day i was subjected to that. To noticing.

what an absolutely neurotypical view of us. Coddling themselves, getting to act like the way they treat us is fine because we don't understand that our peers dont respect us. Why would we? We're so subhuman to them, it's like asking if your cat notices you playfully insulting it.

Every autistic person I've ever met is on some level bitter and angry and TRAUMATIZED at their upbringing. Of having to go through school as the laughing stock, as the weirdo with no friends who no one wants to talk to, as the animal in the corner you can make do cheap tricks so they can experience some Simulacra of what genuine human connection is.

Now tell me, does it sound like I didn't notice?

Realising the Ravens played Exy the way Tetsuji wanted and the Tojans the way Kayleigh wanted, and that’s why USC is Kevin’s favourite team.

one scene in TKM that makes me crazy every time is when Neil and the others are just getting back from picking up Andrew from Easthaven.

Neil has never seen Andrew not on his meds (and not in withdrawal) and he has literally no idea what to expect. Andrew doesn’t speak and everyone else is scared of what he’ll do unmedicated. Meanwhile we got Neil over here

He just sees Andrew as an anchor, a wall to hold him up. And yeah he doesn’t know an unmedicated Andrew, but regardless, Neil feels like he can breathe again because he’s there to bolster him up.

it's not the markhelly show!!!!! it's not the markgemma show either!!!!!!!!!! it's the "can you fundamentally grind an adult human being's consciousness down into nothing, cutting them off from their entire sense of self, thus turning them into an ideal blank slate ala 1800's euroamerican christian theories about children being pure souls without sin FOR the furthering of some fucked up capitalist cult's unknown goals" show !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeremy, against all odds, manages to "control" Andrew and Kevin when they interact with Jean in TGR (or at least calm them all down and redirect them to what's truly important with a subtle smile).

What are the chances that his character will be able to "control" a major titan who also happens to be Jean's forever-lost companion?

Yes, I'm talking about Neil Josten. That indomitable creature.

Oh, Jeremy, that's your Mount Everest.

pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them
