Actually let me talk about this for a second because I have been doing a self prompted character study on Sherlock based on the fact I DO NOT FOR A SECOND BELIEVE HE IS A SOCIOPATH.

And I think the writers of the show know this. It wasn’t an accident on their part, I think it’s very intentional.

Sociopaths are described as having little to no care about other people or their lives, sometimes even not caring about their own, but I don’t think it’s true in Sherlock’s case.

Yes he is antisocial and doesn’t appear to care who lives or dies, but we all know he does care.

What he does, is intentionally dissociates to save peoples lives.

He is right, feelings do get in the way of investigations, the reason he’s so good at what he does, is he’s able to separate himself from what’s going on, which leads me to my point…

I am by no means an expert but I pride myself on my intense love of phycology, and it’s that love that started me on this tangent that currently has its own 3 page essay in a notebook on my shelf.

I think Sherlock Holmes has a kind of dissociative disorder. My evidence:

- mind palace. A thing some people do but, I should point out, is not often seen in neurotypical people, and is also not often seen in sociopaths. The ‘mind palace’ as the show calls it, is often a place someone goes to in their own head to escape situations in which they are stressed or feel in danger. This is not technically how Sherlock uses it, but I’ll explain the connection in a minute.

- when put in situations where he needs to be at the hight of his productiveness, he disconnects all feelings he may have about a case in order to be more efficient.

Both of these things lead me to believe that stress triggers a disassociative state in Holmes.

He also ( SPOILERS!!! MASSASIIIVVE SPOILERS IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE LAST EPISODE )

Engaged in Confabulation, which is when someone’s brain changes memories in order to protect itself from further stress, which would have been caused by traumatic events.

This is another thing that you see often in people with a dissociative disorder.

I think he has a subset of depersonalization/derealization disorder, which is the closest real diagnosis to what he seems to have.

I’ve also entertained the notion of him being on the autism spectrum, but I’m always careful with that because I have autism and I have a tendency to project so that could just be me relating to him in some ways. And, it’s very well known that autism and dissociative disorders kind of go hand in hand, so sometimes it can be hard to tell if someone has autism, or just a symptom of it, which is what dissociative disorder falls under in that context.

But if I was to say he is on the spectrum, this is why.

-often considered sociopathic ( is not, as I just explained )

- often considered narcissistic ( is not, and if you think he is you seriously overestimate how much he cares about himself and what happens to him. He does care about other people, it’s just hard to focus on things he can’t see immediately in front of him. )

- lack of understanding of feelings

-under/over stimulation

-very in depth knowledge on some things, complete oblivion in others ( unless he deems them important ) ( aka, hyper fixation )

-unable to focus on things he doesn’t care about

-disconnects in stressful situations

-often makes decisions people deem childish ( ex: not helping Mycroft solve a case because of a sibling fued )

AGAIN I AM BY NOOOOO MEANS AN EXPERT- AND I AM NOT CLAIMING TO BE- I JUST FIND THINGS LIKE THESE REALLY INTERESTING!!!

Anyways.

Thanks for coming to my red talk 🙌

He doesn’t feel things that way… I don’t think.

I will never get over extremely powerful youkai (or GODS) coming to Natsume's rescue because he was nice to them or formed a genuine friendship with them, while exorcists watch on horrified and confused and very jealous all at once

THE MUSKETEERS 10TH ANNIVERSARY REWATCH / fave episodes [3/?] ↳ SEASON 1, EPISODE 8 / the challenge

I’ve seen people say that they didn’t like Ares in the show because he wasn’t “intimidating enough” or “scary.” Personally, I think Adam Copeland was a great choice.

This man is a 4-time WWE Champion, a 7-time World Heavyweight Champion, and a Triple Crown Champion. He is an award winning pro-wrestler, inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. This man knows violence. The idea of just standing next to him is intimidating.

His Ares is one who’s cocky and smug and laughs at the very idea of war. He treats conflict like a game because, to him, it is. He sees death and destruction as entertainment and he smiles like he’d sleep better after killing you.

Ares doesn’t need to be all gruff and serious in order to be intimidating, just the potential of danger of enough. You can tell by looking at him that, if he wants to be scary, he’ll be scary.

Adam Copeland is a fantastic Ares.

if there was an alternate universe where Viktor was mentally healthy and not actively dying, him and Sky probably would've dated. or at least would've been way closer friends

I see a lot of ppl talking about how Jason should be reconciling with Bruce after learning that Tim basically forced his way into being Robin. But A: he was mad over more than just the Tim thing. And B: he probably wouldn't beleive it.

Like in most versions of his orgin(including the original if we dont count circus Jason) Bruce very easily gives Jason Robin, like my guy didn't even ask for it or anything it was just handed to him. And Dick was all mad because he was just fired from Robin because it was too unsafe, but Bruce does his whole "it's to help himmmm 😖😖😖 so he doesn't become a criminal and stufff" and things become more okay. So I imagine when Jason is told "but Tim forced his way into being Robinn" he's like yeah sure no fucking way am I falling for THAT.

Like he's just thinking that if Bruce gave Jason Robin so easily after his whole realization about the dangers of child soldiers with Dick, then it's not too crazy to think(ESPEXIALLY after Bruce didn't kill the Joker so to jason it looks like he jusy didn't gaf), then it's not too much of a jump to think that after a whole realization about the dangers of child soldiers with Jason, that Bruce jusy found a new one.

Just, like. Consider it fir a minute

as a possessive, jealous Eddie Diaz truther I actually thing the jealousy switcheroo in buddie is incredibly appropriate.

buck can have other male friends besides Eddie, and he's completely fine about it, cause he's sure of his place in bucks life. he know he's buck's best friend, and would never replace him. he knows that besides Maddie, and the kids (Chris and jee) he's the most important person in bucks life.

When is Eddie jealous? when bucks gets a new girlfriend, when he partners up with Taylor for the treasure hunt instead of him. We see him being actively hostile. Cause that's a position Eddie doesn't fill in bucks life, a romantic partner (even though he wants to), so he's unsure of himself.

When is buck jealous? when Eddie gets new friends, we already saw that with Lena Bosko in season 3, cause buck is insecure of his role in Eddie's life (in pretty much every single life of his friends and family), he fears abandonment. He fears that someone will take his place as best friend. But when Eddie is with Ana, buck is calm in my opinion, he's stressed just cause he can see that Eddie is not happy.

all these words just to say that Eddie Diaz knows he's in love with his best friend, he's known for a long time, that's why he's jealous when buck has a romantic partner. while buck still has his eyes covered to the truth, and in his mind what he and eddie have is a totally normal besties relationship. that's why he's jealous and anxious when Eddie gets a friend.

ngl, I hope Viserys is watching all this go down from the afterlife and realising that this all could've been avoided if he'd listened to Alicent and married Rhaenyra to Aegon as she suggested

Like I get that there's multiple reasons why he didn't. probably because that would've meant everyone would assume, as the oldest son, that Aegon would have all the power and the lords would look to him instead of Rhaenyra, which is valid they probably would've at first

But you cannot tell me that it would've ended that way. You're gonna look me in the eyes and tell me Aegon wouldn't love being the pretty kept boy to his queen and absolutely refuse to be anything but arm candy while Rhaenyra ruled? Literally all she'd have to do is give him a smidge of affection and he'd fold like a deck of cards.

Oh the lords think he should be in charge? Too bad, he's just here to drink wine and look pretty.

Everything with Harwin and, later, Daemon? Cannot tell me that not only would he not care, he'd be so down to get in the middle of that, like Rhaenyra wouldn't even need to ask, he's stripping off immediately.

The guy didn't even want to be King, but arm candy to a Queen that pegs him on a near daily basis and actually treats him well? You could not stop him from sprinting down that aisle, I will never believe otherwise
