Autistic Hunter Week

Day 1: Infodumping with Steve

i know this is very late due to the amount of stress from school assignments, so im pretty satisfied i've managed to complete this. (was also gonna add stimming onto there, but i got frustrated at the drawing proportions so i figured i'd do it in a separate post in the future)

Thinking about androids with disabilities. Weak servos, faulty wiring, damaged vocal processors, cognitive corruption, anything and everything that humans struggle with having a robotic equivalent. And just because they’re mechanical doesn’t mean it’s an easy fix, these are parts that cost thousands of dollars and need a specialized technician if they can be replaced at all. Disability does not disappear even if we can leave our flesh behind.

Modern Fantasy Monsters: Daycares!

Daycare centers that have a nice center for children of all species. They are very accommodating to all species. 

Guest speakers who come to talk to the kids. They can range from a worker from a unicorn sanctuary bring a unicorn to the class or a elven librarian to read to the kids for story time.

Special railing for centaur and minotaur children to get their barring’s on their little wobbly legs. 

Rubber/ soft non-toxic nasty tasting wraps on chair/table legs so that werewolves and other werecreatures can stop chewing on them. 

Werewolve children crying to the caretaker about their teeth hurting due to their fangs growing in. After the pain period, the excitedly show the daycare attendant their brand new big boy/ big girl fangs. 

Small witches having accidents with their magic, Someone turns a classmate  into a frog? No problem, this is why we always have a magic user daycare attendant on hand.

Daycare attendants holding dragon eggs like babies in carriages around the park to get some sun. 

Having overnight daycare attendants for nocturnal creatures like vampires. 

Playgrounds built for children of all sizes! Plus they are very colorful too!

Different activities for children to play and learn. Outdoor lessons about the wonderful world of science and also getting to learn about forest magic, Writing out runes in crayons and other fun activities

You know what I'm thinking about Hunter and Lilith again, so here's some thoughts about about Hunter Staying at the Owl House After Hollow Mind (I don't know what we're calling that AU collectively)

Eda noticing Hunters entire body tense and his shoulders straighten when Lilith enters the room and not really knowing how to approach him about it, but she's damn well going to try (after reading a few more 'How to Talk To Teenagers' books)

Luz actually notices him using a more subdued version of The Voice (you know the one) when speaking to Lilith and she immediately tries to have a discussion about it but he has no idea what she means, because that's just how he talks (to scary authority figures)

King isn't sure why Hunter acts so weird around Lilith, he doesn't talk to Hunter about it but when Aunt Lilith visits and he's done receiving his awkwardly loving Cool Aunt Lilith Hugs, he makes sure to sit as close to Hunter as possible and give him one of his underlings to hold, just in case

Hunter watching his sister and brother call Lilith "Aunty" and wishing he knew how to earn that privilege

Hunter not being sure what to do to earn Lilith's favour so he actually starts offering to go on "Missions" for her, like going to the market for groceries and/or elixir, fetching her books from the library from the restricted section, etc. Lilith Does Not take this very well

Actually now that I'm thinking about it, I want more people to explore hunters reaction to other people with curses, I eat those fics up like good spaghetti

Tw panic attacks and light ref to abuse under the cut

Lilith and Hunter are left alone in the Owl House (somehow) and Lilith starts to Bird Out and Hunter brings the elixir straight to her, no matter how hard his hands shake and his vision starts to blur, because this is the one thing he knows how to do Correctly

Of course Lilith stops Changing but that dosnt mean she isn't mad that he helped her out of Pity and she gives the former Golden Guard a piece of her mind about it but when she actually notices that he's not biting back, not even reflexively like he's started to do against her needling, he's not even looking at her. His eyes never leave the floor and his pale face is unreadable as he begins to sweat, trembling hands becoming clenched fists, chest hitching with growing hyperventilation, but he doesn't make a sound, not even a wheeze, but it's all so telegraphed perfectly that even Lilith can tell something is so very, very wrong.

He doesn't flinch when she goes to put her hand on his shoulder but she knows he wants to, but then he sinks to one knee and starts to mumble half coherent apologies through short, withering gasps of air and that's when she truly realizes she's Fucked Up.

Don't think about

don't think about Alador not knowing where any of his kids are

don't think about Edric and Emira gripping onto each other as their world falls apart around them with no idea where the rest of their family is, if they're even safe

don't think about the fact they might not even be together

don't think about Darius feeling the pain of the draining spell but all he can think about is the sixteen-year-old kid he cares about despite himself feeling the same pain

don't think about all the other children with coven sigils, in so so much pain as the man everyone trusts betrays them

don't think of Gus' dad learning no one knows where his twelve-year-old son is

don't think of people running for cover as their world falls apart and rebuilds around them

don't think about the ones who couldn't get away in time

don't think of King, so young and so scared, alone with the collector

don't think about Willow's dads patiently waiting for their daughter to come home and their bone-deep grief when she doesn't

don't think about the twins screaming and wailing when Alador tells them he doesn't know where Amity is and the last time he saw her, she was going to fight Belos, the most dangerous man on the Isle

don't think about Eda realizing that despite her best efforts in the end she couldn't protect either of her kids

don't think about Eda reuniting with Lilith and both of their faces falling realizing the other doesn't have the kids

don't think about Camila opening the doors and being so relieved to see her daughter but so worried when she sees how tired and sad all the kids huddled together at her front door are

don't think about the kids quietly but surely patching each other up, older and much more exhausted than they should be

don't think about the fact none of them are going to be to get a good night's sleep for a while

don't think about the kids huddled together mourning people that may be alive because they just don't know

Names taken literally

[sabotdrop]

Names as a tool for worldbuilding

Efficiency

In any writing, naming something helps save time in the long run. A name is a symbol, a container for more complicated information. It helps to be able to refer to Ganondorf instead of saying "the buff ginger who keeps reincarnating to fight Link over and over again and is sometimes pig" every time you need to talk about him.

Importance

Because we name things that we expect to be referring to again, a reader will expect named things to show up in a story multiple times. Giving a character, a place, a concept, etc. a specific name can hint to readers that it's going to be on the test, and they should probably remember it.

Mystery

If you give reader's a name out of context, especially if you make it clear that it's important, it turns into a mystery box. The reader can't see inside it, they don't know what the name refers to, but they know that it's going to be important. You can have it appear in dialogue, in old dusty tomes, in the protagonist's dreams, and each time give the reader a little more information about it, until eventually the name has been filled with meaning.

This is where it can help to have names that sound cool. If the name suggests a question, some sort of mystery, in and of itself, readers will be curious about it from the start. One way to do this is to build a name around a contradiction. Something like "the lofty abyss" or even "beggar's magic", which isn't so much a contradiction as an unusual pairing.

Naming Patterns and Linguistics

In a setting with its own languages or dialects, names will probably reflect the language of the people who invented them. Readers might be able to guess at the nationality or culture of a character based on their name, if they've been exposed to similar sounding names of the same origin.

If you use invented words to name things, the same word might appear in multiple names. Readers can recognize similarities between names and guess at the meaning of a new name based on ones they already know.

Real Names and Allusions

In stories set in our own world, (whether its past, present, future, or some alternate timeline), you can borrow the names of real things to make use of their preexisting associations. A laser-firing satellite codenamed "Damocles" has different implications for the story than an unnamed one.

William Gibson's book Neuromancer does this to great effect. A man has lab grown eyes made by Nikon. A Salvador Dali inspired melting clock has holographic hands that bend to fit its frame. A Rastafarian space station called Zion. These specific details that pull from the real world make the setting feel much more grounded and real.
