Autism be damned my boy can work a case (he got hit with a rifle while breaking and entering)

[bugsysaboy]

Kite Headcanons <3

ALRIGHT THIS ONE IS FOR MY FELLOW KITE STANS!!! all 5 of us!!!!

No content warnings, sfw

-has the worst appetite known to man /hj

-he usually just eats soup

-he can easily be thrown off by the texture of certain foods (certified jello hater!)

-although, honestly, if he's hungry enough he'll eat anything.

-autism be damned, my boy can work a grill campfire.

-anxious as FUCK in restaurants. He's too awkward to order and will just s t a r e for too long unintentionally at the waitstaff.

-also will be awkward about starting his meal and will just hork it down when no one is looking. (Look, he grew up on the streets, eating fast so no one takes his food is just a hold over.)

-REALLY GOOD CANDID PHOTOS BUT DO NOT ASK THIS MAN TO POSE! HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING!

-you know that meme that's the person doing the half a heart with their hand and the other person has a thumbs up? ...yeah.

-ACTUALLY THAT BEING SAID he's really handsome when caught off guard, but when he's actually engaging in conversation with someone he's kinda funny looking? Like he'll suddenly be aware of how he's carrying himself and maintaining eye contact and he will over correct.

-This man has no game!!! This man can neither pull nor flirt! 29 years old and even the idea of holding hands gets him flustered.

-on top of this if he's romantically interested in someone he's really prone to just avoiding them.

-KITE AND CRAZY SLOTS IS JUST MANZAI! KITE IS THE STRAIGHT MAN AND CRAZY SLOTS IS THE FUNNY MAN! KITE SAYING "ah, bad roll" AND GRIPING ABOUT CRAZY SLOTS IS JUST A BIT TO HIM! HE THINKS IT'S HILARIOUS BUT NOBODY SEES THIS.

-dad jokes and puns all day everyday

-also he can actually be pretty chatty, like don't get me wrong when he's really focused he'll probably just shut up but during downtime? Around a campfire? He loves to spin a yarn or talk about his work.

-He also loves to hear about what others are passionate about!

-gets a general feel for people really quickly- he'll open up to people he gets good vibes off of pretty fast, but others he's more iffy on he may keep things cordial. This can, however, lead to snap judgements about people that might not be always correct.

-excellent pickpocket, now that he has a stable income through being a hunter he won't use this ability often...

-okay might do it to prank someone

-...or humble them.

-Met Ging when he was 15 and Ging was 18

-if he sets an alarm he somehow always manages to wake up just before it goes off

-hammock conoisseur 😌

-if he was in the real world he'd be Russian. (This is literally just based off of vibes and some edit an artist made of Kite running to Russian hardbass.)

-thinks it's really funny to say "have you considered..." to someone and when they ask him to elaborate he just says "...just... have you considered."

-loves sunflowers, loves sunflower seeds

-likes to keep a spare scarf handy in case someone needs it

-makes the crazy slots noise when he's really trying to concentrate

-favorite candy is saltwater taffy

-I like to imagine that he got the idea for crazy slots because of a boardwalk carnival in the town he grew up in. The carnies knew that Kite could win any of the games they had, no matter how rigged, it was uncanny.

-...probably used the plushies he won as pillows, maybe with the smaller ones he'd let his dogs play with.

-AND YES, HIS DOGS ALL HAD NAMES. ALEXEI, BORIS, SERGEI, PUSHKIN, FYODOR JUST TO NAME A FEW

-Favorite author is Dovstoevsky

-legitimately does not remember where he got his hat from, it's just kinda always been there, you know?

-he's not super focused on material goods and he doesnt really like receiving gifts (exceptions are made for anything handmade or a really cool rock.)

-...call him pretty and he'll fold

[dullahandyke]

'natsume's room s cursed' are we sure that's not just a gas leak

i like sholmes's thing about belief it's v sweet

ASOUGI FLASHBACK!!!! hi asougi :)

sholmes's trout dinner.... pov dinner date w herlock sholmes he leaves you for a doohickey

'do all literary people take things so literally' first off youre one to talk ryuu second off autism on autism violence????

christ bvz's cracking out the wine early

bvz you're not doing yourself any favours by toasting to the victim's death

also i love susato's description in the profiles.... a huge help to ryuu always <3

also nice to have a non0murder case for a change. usually have to go to the audio cds for that

christ they really did give us precious little evidence from that investigation huh

boooo bvz don't waste good wine like that

ok predictions: blunt knife tip + lack of actual death = green is in on a plot to frame natsume

literally where would we be without susato. god bless

also ryuu appreciation he's so cute. little shaking sprites... his kind cow-like eyes have bewitched me

bvz's blue eyes unnerve me... get him some brown contacts. or at least dark grey

ryuu going back to nervous sprites... dw my boy it will be ok

YES SUSATO THREATEN THAT VAMPIRE BITCH!!!

also donut lips juror 5... :frowning2:

gregson in the background of the courtroom during the summation examination... lol

banging music continues to be banging

juror 2's freakishly tiny mouth irks me... girl how do u eat

ryuu should have called juror 2 a racist idiot to her face

ryuu why did you think asking garrideb abt natsume's character would workout

u can tell i don't play new games by how impressed i am by the animation of ryuu pacing as the camera follows him. real movie magic right here

surely juror 5 would've seen natsume if he jumped the trench tho... bvz what's the plan

booooooo once again bvz is way less cool without the cloak

points. the lovecore fucks have been spotted

also according to jules, your man was originally irish so in my mind he continues to be such

points at roly. autistic as fuck to be chewing his chin strap

'patrolling the beat is the most demanding work in the world' clearly someone's never been in the tumblr trenches

if i knew the beates irl i'd literally die from romance repulsion but patricia gets a pass for being cute. she needs to divorce that cop and get herself a real man (me)

society if this game treated fat women with even an ounce of respect

disliking the persistant domestic abuse jokes(?) this case... so uncomfy

the beats theme does not... feel fitting. for either courtroom or investigative scene

love ryuu's confident smirk... he's so >:)

bvz you need to get susato tossed so damn badly

'one of britain's guiding principles is tolerance' lol. lmao even

bvz's scowl sprite looks like 'eat yo sandwich bitch! the fuck you looking crazy for

LEGSLAM

i can so vividly envision juror 2's instgram it's awful

my god a third abusive wife... i have a feeling it's abusive wives instead of husbands bcos abusive husbands are more likely to be taken seriously/not treated as a bit joke and i dont like it

[blood-injections]

HAI ID LIKE TO DISCUSS UR BAND AU. how does kobra as the vocalist work with his semi-verbalness?? or is he not semiverbal in this au?? tell me all about it pls!! /nf

HII YES YES my wifis acting up rn so I havent been able to post about this au but as soon as its back up I'll be band au posting soo much. Okay so in this au I write his autism and semiverbalness a lot like my own and I'm still figuring out like. The vocalistisms. But it's basically like, hes nonverbal until hes comfortable around people and as long as he isnt overstimulated you can't shut him the fuck up. And once he joins the band and starts playing more and gets experience being a frontman the comfortable around people part kind of goes away because he gets really confident and cocky. Like as long as he isnt overstimulated or his voice just decided to turn off for no reason- because sometimes theres just really no reason or predicting it and its annoying- most of the time he doesn't shut up. But also he has his thing where like if he's really pissed off, in this case at bli because this au starts off based within battery city, and theyre trying to 'fix' him and poisons a bit of an asshole sometimes with trying to get him to be like, following the rules and staying safe because theyre in no way loyal to bli but they havent been bitten by the rebellion bug yet ya'know? Kobra kind of drags them into the band and becoming killjoy stuff later on lmao. But anyway hes very pent up and full of rage all the time and theres a fine line between going nonverbal or screaming about it. And once he joins the band- because he finds Ghoul and Sandman jamming out on the street like with buckets and a homemade guitar just to stir up trouble and is like. Wow. And then crows come and everyone scatters and he ends up running with them, then they become friends and once hes comfortable around them and hes just hanging out while theyre practicing or something or just listening to old music and he starts singing along and theyre like. Damn boy you can sing what the hell??!? And hes like oh i dunno at first when they're like bro you should play with us you're good but he ends up going like fuck it and becomes the vocalist and its just like. He discovers he kinda loves it. Its an outlet for everything and the thrill of directly doing something illegal(because music, especially this kind, is outlawed) and dangerous just gives him an adrenaline/seratonin high and he can just let the fuck loose and screams their shitty punk songs.

Then Poison and Jet join the band and they all leave the city(not sandman, hes just there as a jam buddy for ghoul and kobra in the beginning, the suitehearts have their own thing going on that I'll expand on in their own post later). Anyway once the shows over and the adrenaline like wears off usually all the stimulation hits at once and he goes nonverbal like when I'm like hanging out with friends or performing and having a lot of fun but then we all go home and i sit down on the couch and am just like. Oh i had fun but i cant move or talk or anything now. Spoons zapped. Worth it tho. Its like that for Kobra. Shows usually go off without a hitch unless hes had like. A really bad day sometimes he cant sing so he sits aside on an amp like bundled up in a comfort jacket and cheers his band on silently and someone else screams in his place lol. Practices, since they're just chill, sometimes come when he isnt verbal, it just depends on the day yknow, so its like. When he is verbal sometimes he'll randomly start singing if hes working on his bike or not really doing anything like. Oh better get the practice in while i can. Because like i said earlier he isnt self conscious at all, hes a frontman hes a shameless bastard lol.

Anyway uhh I think I explained that pretty well feel free to ask about anything else I Need to talk about this au fhsjnd <3

#Autism king… #Autism be damned my boy can work a complex legal case (via clefairytea)

listen it’s even explicitly stated by characters in the game that edgeworth seems like a wholly different person in and out of court. you got this confident smug bastard tearing you and your arguments to pieces behind the bench, and the dumbass behind the legendary “i’m not good at small talk”, “[addressing the person he just tried to get convicted for murder] i’m a big fan of your work”, “[to another lawyer] get out of my court” trainwreck of a conversation. in my opinion this is because a trial has a very set script that he has a lot of experience with, while normal conversations are a complicated mess of reading social cues, regulating tone of voice and eye contact. this all to say that, edgeworth’s just really fucking bad at social interaction

[trichotillo-nope]

Still here...

Hey y'all! I know, it's been a minute since I started this particular blog and then subsequently disappeared. Mea culpa.

Short version: Adulting nuked my plans; and possible (probable, who are we kidding) neurodivergent shenanigans.

Did not know there was a blanket term to describe the processing nonsense that is my brain and how I overall interact with the world. Personally I'd explain it as a some mixture of ADHD/[mild] Autism/Trauma with a frosting of Trichotillomania and Anxiety/Depression.

Yes, I am in the process of psych assessment hell. Thus this post now exists in the wild world of Tumblr. So, for my American followers (since I'm, y'know, in that hellscape), here's the gist of how that works in case any Adults are considering going through this process.

See a psychiatrist/psychologist who can perform the evaluation and assessment. Your health insurance may require a referral from your medical doctor.

Go through 1-2 (minimum) pre-assessment interviews because of course. It's one part diagnostic and one part insurance requirements and probably some skeptical "you're not neurodivergent" and you will feel like you're on trial even if you are a Textbook case of whatever thing(s) you think you are. It's important, at least it's been so for me, to bear in mind that what you're experiencing is valid even if it's not one large overarching issue but a combination of several "smaller" issues mimicking the expression of another because there is overlap.

Try not to self diagnose if possible because of the overlap; though I understand the inclination to do so especially with more neurodivergent people discussing how their neurodivergence impacts their daily lives via social media.

Advocate for yourself.

These tests are expensive. I'm looking at near $2000 between me and my insurance and guess who is covering the bulk of it - hint, not my insurance.

Your insurance probably needs a pre-authorization and approval times vary by insurance provider (mine took about 10 days to okay things; it could have been longer). Note: Your Assessor will contact your Insurance with the pre-authorization form.

If you or our assessor suspect autism, be prepared for your insurance not to cover those tests.

Expect, if you have a mainstay therapist, that the assessor may wish to speak with your primary mental health provider.

Hurry up and wait. I started this process in November with an expected timeline of maybe 2 months...we are way beyond that now and my assessor (sweetheart and patient though she is) drives me bonkers with her response times. Like ma'am...I told you schedule maintenance is a thing I have a physical reaction to and this is just [pterodactyl screech here]. ***

Hurry up and wait.

Be kind to yourself. This will exacerbate and exhaust you.

I'll have more once I've actually gone through the assessment. In theory soon? But we've been saying "soon" for weeks now my primary therapist and I (she is not my assessor).

I just want answers to the question "Why brain do that?" so my therapist and I can better manage my tomfoolery and shenanigans but damn I'm tired.

Yes, I recognize that I"m fortunate to be scheduled at all and that i got into with the practice I'm going through in a relatively short timeline. The practices some of my friends were going through for their regular therapy quoted me much longer lead times to even do the preliminary sessions. I also recognize that my experience is not necessarily universal but boy howdy.

Why am I referring to this psychiatric professional as an assessor? I have no intention of receiving care from this practice long term. Their lack of communication ticks a whole new level of anxiety and stress for me across multiple levels.

Alright. I'm done now for this post.

M'k bai!

Lee Junho who sees Youngwoo in the lobby and walks up right up to her all smiley and pretty and gorgeous 🥰🥰🥰

Lee Junho whose smile could light up an entire town and who looks as if his heart is about to burst when Youngwoo says "I waited here because I wanted to see you."

Lee Junho who tells her "Then you should've called me over. I almost walked right past you." because he doesn't want to miss out on a moment of spending time with her.

Lee Junho who teases Youngwoo and asks "I see. So that's all you needed?" When Youngwoo says "I waited to see you and I did".

Lee Junho who laughs and looks SO DAMN HAPPY that Youngwoo noticed he's 12 minutes late and she was waiting for him.

Lee Junho who understands from one phone call that she has to go to a meeting and immediately asks if he can see her at lunch.

Lee Junho who immediately tries to be awake and look presentable (and he's SO CUTE FOR IT Y'ALL) when he receives Youngwoo's call as if a high school boy who just recieved his crush's call.

Lee Junho who is patient with Youngwoo and her mannerisms and says "Let me look at your face too." (SWOON) and tells her how to hold the phone. Who wants to see Youngwoo too 😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️

Lee Junho who again teases Youngwoo and says "Right, so that's it then? Since you got what you wanted?" when Youngwoo says she's gonna hang up the call now because she simply wanted to see him and she did. Lee Junho who so so so patiently and understandingly (and lovingly) tells her "What about how I feel as the person who answered the call? From now on, please ask if I want to hang up too." because while he understands that autistic people like Youngwoo may not understand others feelings immediately and might be fooled about other people's feelings and expressions (Youngwoo had told him this in a previous episode), Junho is also gently teaching her about how to recognize other people's feelings and give others people's feelings a thought and wants his feelings to be validated too 😭😭😭♥️♥️♥️

Lee Junho who doesn't miss a beat in answering "No" when Youngwoo asks "Do you want to hang up now?"

Lee Junho who slowly and slowly makes Youngwoo talks about others things than work and whales while also giving her a chance to talk about all of these.

Lee Junho who thinks all these dad jokes are funny just because Youngwoo is saying them 😭😭😭

Lee Junho who looks like he fell harder for Youngwoo when she says "You keep popping into my head like whales. Even though you're not one." Who looks nervous when Youngwoo says "This is the first time I have constantly thought of someone, so it's quite strange." Lee Junho is extremely moved and happy about this confession because although it's not an I love you, it might as well be. Lee Junho who gets a verbal confession of sorts that his feelings are reciprocated just as strongly and who looks serious for a moment knowing the relationship that is about to come is going to be serious because he loves Youngwoo truly and so does she!!!

Lee Junho (AND SUNSHINE GIRLBOSS SUYEON!!!) who understand that Youngwoo takes everything literally/seriously and so they help her talk about the divorce case in metaphors.

Lee Junho who immediately runs to help who just witnessed her husband die in front of her and tries to calm her down.

Lee Junho who makes sure the lady is safe and then immediately RUNS TO YOUNGWOO TO CALM HER DOWN KNOWING SHE'S BEING ANXIOUS.

Lee Junho who says it's fine and doesn't think of it as a big deal when Youngoo thanks him for hugging her and calming her down during her anxiety episode.

Lee Junho who has DONE HIS FUCKING HOMEWORK ABOUT AUTISM KNOWING HIS LOVER IS ONE AND WHO HAS RESEARCHED HOW TO HANDLE AN AUTISTIC PERSON'S SENSORY OVERLOAD EPISODE.

Lee Junho who KNOWS SO MUCH, ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF TOOLS MIGHT HELP AUTISTIC PEOPLE, SUCH AS THE HUG CHAIRS IN FRANCE

LEE JUNHO WHO SAYS "DO YOU REALLY HAVE TO BUY ONE? I'LL BE ONE FOR YOU. YOUR PERSONAL HUG CHAIR" BECAUSE LEE JUNHO WANTS TO STAY BY HER SIDE ALL THE TIME, IN ALL HER MOMENTS OF HIGHS AND LOWS. WHO BASICALLY MEANS TO SAY "FUCK ANY TOOLS, I'LL BE YOUR HUG CHAIR. I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU FOREVER."

Just LEE JUNHO Y'ALL.

JUST LEE JUNHO WHO HAS YOUNGWOO'S, MINE AND EVERYONE'S HEART 💜❤️

[i-arch-my-backula]

Random slasher headcannons

I got this idea from @skylarsblue please read theirs I love it so very much. Anyway enjoy this stupid list of stuff. Also it is way to late for me to be up but hey it’s summer baby. 

Billy Lenz

I know we all love dirty, greasy rat man Billy but what if he sneaks into like the sorority showers and like uses their fancy hair and skin care stuff. How else is his hair so perfectly fluffy

He would love to have painted nails but he could not sit still long enough to let them dry. I feel like he bites his nails too or at least chews on his fingers or stuff. 

Cat dad.

You know those things where like it’s just like “Fucking forg” in like flame letters and a picture of someone holding a frog behind it? Billy would love those. He loves the stupidist like most nonsensical humor ever. Like show him the thing where it says “Ohio burger” and everything on the burger is shaped like Texas and he will be dying for the next 20 minutes.

He will eat anything he can get his hands on. He’s like a baby in that way you know? Like he’ll look at like purfume and spray it in his mouth and just like like how it tastes. Keep him away from the air freshener.

He also has a very high tolerance for spice. He can drink an entire bottle of hot sauce in like 30 minutes max. 

He either has a high tolerance for caffeine or he’ll have a heart attack if he drinks a cup of coffee.

He has echolallia and probably mild autism. no this isn’t because I’m autistic, well maybe

Seems like he’ll like be ok with touch but it’s gonna take some time for him to actually be comfortable with touch

He will eat raw meat and not learn his lesson when he gets sick

Brahms Heelshire

Also a cat dad

Probably likes to knit things. Like he’ll have this big ass blanket he’s been working on for like a super long time. 

His parents forced him into the walls don’t @ me about this you know I’m right. 

He’s sensitive to food textures. Like if an apple has the wrong feel in his mouth he can’t eat it. 

His posture is so bad omfg. We’d be back pain buddies. He’d have an extra like two inches if he wasn’t hunched over all the time. 

He would love worm on a string. Like buy him one and he’ll play with it all the time.

He probably always wanted one of those porcelain faced dolls but he was too afraid to ask his parents.

He loves art history. Like he wants to collect paintings and he studies artists all the god damn time.

He likes to bake but he can’t do it on his own. He tried and it was a disaster.

Thomas Hewitt

I agree he is a metal head but he listens to Dolly Parten too. He’s a sweet country boy what do you expect.

Lowkey would love to have his nails painted black.

He’d be so confused if he got a hug. Like I mean the man’s never had one before.

He loves the smell of flowers. He’s around blood and meat so much he loves to just reset with a good floral scent. So can someone get this man some flowers?

If he was born into a different family he wouldn’t kill people. I just feel like that’s the case.

He’d love to have a big dog because I say so and I want a big dog.

He started to collect bones as a kid because he was just like really interested in.

I feel like he’d be good at taxidermy. Like if he got the proper tool and stuff he’d be good at it.

I don’t think he’s as dumb as the movie says he is. Like he hid in the car to get that girl, that was pretty smart.

Lester Sinclair

He collected bones as a kid. Probably always wanted to do something with preserving the dead. Definitely has some taxidermy he made in his house.

Out of all the brothers he is the most domestic. He’s good at cleaning and cooking and has to help Bo and Vincent clean up their house once a month.

I feel like Jonesy was a stray dog before Lester adopted her. He probably found her eating some road kill and was just like “I guess you’re my dog now.”

He’s a bit dense so it’ll take him a bit to realize you’re into him. But if you laugh at one of his stupid jokes he’ll really start to pick up on your flirting.

He makes bone jewelry. Like Texas chainsaw massacre style. He wears it when he’s not working and probably made some for his brothers.

I wrote about this before but there’s a lake he’ll visit when he wants to. Probably bring Jonesy and if he had an s/o or someone he’s interested in he’ll bring them there.

Poison ivy does nothing to this man. He’ll still get the rash and like the bumps but it’s not itchy. He has a high pain tolerance and like can get hit my a car and walk away ok. That’s a bit of an overstatement but it makes my point.

He’s polyamorous because I’m poly and I say so. So are Bo and Vincent fuck you

I got this idea from someone who’s @ I can’t remember but they talked about how Lester made the handle for his knife and Vincent’s and I totally agree. This man has a hobby and it’s making knife handles.

I feel like he would have seen a stray cat, left out food for it but a raccoon ate it instead and he just said “fuck it” and now he’s feeding a raccoon.

Loves to like hug and cuddle shit. His love language is physical touch and he will always let people know that. If no one is around and he needs to cuddle something he’ll chose Jonesy or a pillow, litterly anything he can get. 

Vincent Sinclair

He loves tea. Do I have a basis for this claim? No he just give me tea drinker vibes. 

I feel like he would have some sort of guilt for not helping Bo as a kid or something like that. Like he felt like he was the favored twin/ child. He would also feel bad for Lester cause I feel like he was sort of forgotten by their parents and Vincent and Bo kinda had to parent him.

He would love to watch ballet. Like he loves the costumes and the dances and would probably adore drawing/sculpting something so graceful. 

If his hands weren’t always covered in wax he’d paint his nails black. I just feel like he would like the way it looks. 

He probably learned a lot about medicine from his dad and takes care of his brothers when they get sick or they need help. I saw how he tried to go back and take that arrow out. 

His mask is a comfort item of sorts. Like he rarely takes it off and if he does it’s usually when he’s alone. 

He would love to put his hair up but Bo won’t let him have hair ties because of how they remind him of the straps on his chair in a way. We know he kinda takes his trauma out on his victims but seeing that happen to his brother is too much. Same goes for his partner. 

If he’s in the mood he’ll listen to metal music. He’s kinda a metal head but not super hard core into it. 

He has to do some kind of like work out to keep his body as giant and beautiful as it is. I feel like he’ll go in the woods and work out there and stuff. Probably gets some meat from Lester too if he runs out. 

Would be good at origami. Like he’s good with his hands and would be great with making things.

His knives were a gift from Lester when they first started remaking Ambrose together. 

Bo Sinclair

The man doesn’t have anger issues he’s just a bitch. 

He’s a himbo and I love him for that.

If anyone tried to mess with his brothers growing up he would beat them fuck up. Talk shit about his family? Boom you’re getting decked by him. Don’t say shit about his family. 

He’s pan because I want him to love me and he’s got that kinda vibe. Also I want him to love me. 

He thinks who vape are pussies. “Just smoke a god damn cigarette like a normal person.��� 

He got into cars as an escape of some kind in his childhood. Like I just feel like it. 

He has a skincare routine that if anyone found out about he’d kill them. 

He can sing like one of those dudes from the 50′s. He does it by himself but he like can. 

He’s a liquor man not a beer man. Well like he prefers liquor. 

Bubba Sawyer 

HE IS GENDERFLUID END OF DISCUSSION

He has a few dresses he wears when he’s alone and makeup he puts on some of his masks. 

He’s closest to Nubbins. He’s the nicest brother to him and he hugs him often.

 He likes soft calming music. Something to sooth him after all the screaming and abuse he gets on a daily basis

Loves to bake when he can. He likes feeling domestic and stuff. 

Never went to a formal school and his brothers had to constantly stand up for him and make sure he was ok. 

He has an emotional support chicken he keeps at the house. 

Probably good at taxidermy but doesn’t do it like correctly. Like he doesn’t use the right stand he just stuffs with with stuffing basically making it a glorified stuffed animal.

Michael Myers

He finds scaring people so fucking funny. Like you know he was laughing with that ghost shit.

He really likes sweet shit. He’s scare a kid just to steal their halloween candy.

My explanation for how the og Michael is a tank while he’s looks like an average 5’11 dude is that he was kind of experimented on while at Smithsgrove.

He has a high tolerance for alcohol. Like drinking a third of a bottle of vodka would get him tipsy.

RZ Michael Myers started to make masks as a coping mechanism and it just evolved from there.

His hand writing is like really sharp. Like someone trying to be edgy is his handwriting.

He can’t grow facial hair. He was in that asylum for what 15 years and nothing. He couldn’t shave while he was there so he just can’t grow any.

Can eat raw meat and be fine. The man would do it on purpose to like bulk up.

He has low iron levels and that’s why he doesn’t run.

The reason the og targeted mostly teenage girls was because his first kill was his teenage sister so it’s kinda like that.

Og likes classical music RZ likes metal music.

I think we have different definitions of ego (^^ ;;)

When I said Ford has wonky self-esteem, I meant that it fluctuates. At least... The surface parts of it does. But I believe that a fluctuating self-esteem is the result of low self-esteem, which Ford definitely has!

I think you can have a big ego and low self-esteem and, most importantly, still be an incredibly kind person, like Ford. (And yeah, he definitely has autism)

I'm projecting on him cause I relate to him a lot too. In my case, I have a big ego and I'm doing my best to be less ashamed of it so I can work on it better.

Ford has many faulty views of himself and how he must be loved due to his upbringing (cough Filbrick cough cough). He seems to believe that in order to be loved, he must be admired, to be pedestaled. Then finally, everyone will treat him well, not just Stanley and his mom. To achieve that, Ford must be the best of the best, the most amazing person in the world. Ford pushes himself into greatness at the expense of his own needs, failing to realize that he doesn't need to be amazing to be loved. He just needs to be himself.

It's still ego to me and while it's certainly not a good thing in Ford's case, it's not a moral failing. Ford is far from evil, and he has plenty of reasons to be evil. But Ford chooses not to be because he's better than that, because it's wrong, because even though he has been hurt millions of times by many different people, most of which are intended to hurt him, Ford would rather risk his entire self to save the world.

Ford-haters need to realize that his ego isn't bad and that Ford isn't bad. They can hate him for all I care, but they can never come up with a good reason as to why. So instead, they resort to ableism, sanism, and purposefully misunderstanding him. Even downright rewriting him!

Rambling rn and inarticulate, so I'mma stop it right here. Again, I'm pretty sure ideas of ego are different. I'm a psych major and I have quite a few mental disorders that are demonized. And what I don't have, at least one other beloved does. And even then.

So uh. In short, I think Ford has a big ego AND a big heart AND just needs to realize that he doesn't need to be perfect or extraordinary or self-sacrificial to be loved. (Just like Stan. I'm gonna go cry now because my boys need so many damn hugs)

well hold on, if we define a character flaw as any limitation a character deals with, regardless of whether it's something Morally Wrong With Them or not, then Ford's paranoia counts as a character flaw since it does in fact negatively impact him and the people around him. Let me use better wording here: I will die on the hill that Ford's paranoia is not a moral failing.

[well-its-not-human-anymore]

So this is a personal one for me to ask and if you're not comfortable with it don't mind it; how would the tmnt boys (seperate) react when the reader confesses that they're autistic after the boys got curious when she had some peculiar, behavior or stims. The reader would be stressed, because she has a crush on the tmnt boy in question and she didn't want them to find her weird or just stop interacting with her. When she's met with confusion instead, because the boys never heard of it, cue this weird conversation where reader tells them to the best of her ability what it is and the boys just keep asking questions. Also some general headcannons with it maybe?

Okay so I'm actually really happy that you asked me this because I feel like ASD isn't portrayed a lot in any type of media. My ADD and ASD have a lot of overlap so I hope I can capture what you're asking of me!

Now let's get into it!

TMNT Headcanons

The boys reacting to an autistic reader

Leonardo

he wasn't really sure what was happening the first time you reacted

one minute you were standing next to him doing dishes and the next you were attempting to claw your skin off like an angry cat

Leo tried not to look annoyed as he watched you rub your hands against your shirt until your flesh started to turn red

you looked like you were crying but he knew you weren't

but your face was starting to turn purple and your cheeks were puffy from the effort of holding your breath

"Y/N? You need to breathe."

You shot a glare at him, scathing eyes meeting his now very concerned expression

your own softened and you clutched your arms to your chest, heaving oxygen into your lungs until your face became a normal shade again

"Are you okay?"

The words were stuck in your throat and you weren't sure if you should nod or shake your head

so you gave him a half-hearted shrug

he frowned back at you but turned to finish the dishes on his own

when he questioned you about it later he couldn't help but be curious

"Well actually it's uh- it's kinda a sensory type of thing? There are certain textures that I can't stand touching do I avoid them but if I come into contact by accident my brain just kinda explodes and I shut down."

"How exactly does that work though?"

"I don't really understand it much but like- you know that feeling you get when you think there's a bug on you and there's not but it really really feels like it?"

He nodded

"Yeah, it feels like that. And anytime I touch something that triggers that reaction it takes FOREVER to get the feeling off my skin. That's why I usually wear gloves when I do dishes. Guess I just forgot to grab 'em today."

He was sympathetic

and god, you were so embarrassed

lucky for you, Leo's not an asshole

"Well thank you for explaining it to me, you really freaked me out earlier. I'll talk to April and see if we can keep a pair or two at the lair just in case you forget again."

Consider your heart melted

you couldn't even find the words to thank him and holy shit was your face red

"Hey y/n?"

"Yeah Leo?"

"Why didn't you ever tell me- us that you were autistic?"

Did you rip the band aid off now or make something up? Which would ,technically speaking, be less catastrophic in the long run?

"I uh- I really like you and I really didn't want you or the other's to look at me differently..."

wow, you liked him? miss ma'am you have saved this boy a world of anxiety and damn does he thank you for it

"Thanks for telling me... and y/n? I really like you to."

Awh fuck yeah, best possible execution of band aid-ripping-off ever

Donatello

Donnie wished he could act surprised when you finally told him

he really wanted to, it would've made you feel better for sure

but he sucked at lying and he didn't want to make you feel like he thought you were an idiot

because that was so far from the truth

after going through extensive research on Mikey's behalf when he suspected he had ADHD Donnie had stumbled across many different websites that discussed the symptoms and overlaps between both disorders

to make a long story short, Donnie knew that you had ASD and he was waiting for you to tell him

it would probably come off as rude if he brought it up in conversation right?

he didn't want to risk it

but that didn't stop him from keeping an eye on you and your behaviors

he was a man of science, of course he was going to analyze you

not in a weird way or anything, just as a curious sort of precaution

but the longer you were involved in the turtle's lives the more noticeable your stims and meltdowns got, Donnie did his best to cover for you without making you suspicious of him

eventually he'd come up with something that he hoped would come across as a friendly gesture and wouldn't set you off or scare you away

it was game night at the lair and you, as always, were perched on the arm of the sofa, a large grin plastered on your face

inside your head was exploding but you were masking it pretty well if you do say so yourself

but Donnie was, well... donnie was donnie

so when he noticed you starting to rock a little more visibly he removed his attention from commentating the game and grabbed a pair of headphones from the side table

you were beyond confused when he passed them to you but your face revealed everything

"They're noise cancelling, try them on."

holy shit it was like putting your head underwater, everything was muffled

not in the way normal headphones did, you quite literally couldn't hear anything at all, just a calm amount of nothing

you nearly started crying when you realized that Donnie had figured you out on his own

but you'd never been more relieved about anything in your life

Raphael

he wouldn't admit that he was mesmerized by your presence

you practically radiated calm

his complete opposite

it was his favorite thing about you, because despite your quiet disposition and calming aura you weren't afraid to call him out or rebut any of his insults

this was not something you expected him to appreciate nor was it something you thought would make you catch feelings

but damn if you didn't

he'd been sitting in on yours and Donnie's little experiment for an hour or so now, watching you both exchange quiet whispers and inside jokes that you always seemed to lag on

then you slipped up

not bad, nothing detrimental to the project, just the same mistake that you'd already made ten times over

you might as well have exploded

"Y'N, you just have to move thi-"

"I KNOW DONATELLO. I FUCKING KNOW AND I JUST CAN'T DO THIS BULLSHIT!"

you set everything down gently enough to avoid breaking it before turning and storming out of the lab, waving your hands like they were on fire

Raph and Donnie exchanged a look that sent the larger red turtle following after you

when you calmed yourself down enough to talk you kept your gaze locked on the wall, explaining that you couldn't make eye contact when you were upset

he might not be the smartest brother, but Raph's no dummy, he put those pieces together pretty quickly after you told him that one small detail

he wasn't upset that you didn't tell him and you'd personally never been more relieved

your heart nearly splattered into the stratosphere when you finally gace him your own explanation

"yeah, I like ya too."

you grinned so wide you were sure your face would split open and your entire body rocked side to side with excitement

he thought that was pretty adorable too

And he did stick around to offer a bit of support when you apologized to Donnie for screaming at him

Michaelangelo

to be frank it probably shouldn't have taken so long for Mikey to realize that you were autistic

the similarities between your own personality and his ADHD were so in sight it was near painful

it was his turn to make dinner that night and you'd made sure that you came over early to help him set up, you knew how side-tracked he'd get and you were the poster child for solid routine

what more perfect matchup existed?

trick question, there isn't one

you were on one side of the counter cutting vegetables and he was on the other throwing said vegetables into the mixing pot

the music was at an ungodly level of loud so your only means of communication were screaming over it

"MIKEY."

"WHA?"

"YOU GOT THE-"

"YEAH."

"AND THE-"

"UH HUH."

"COOL, HAVE YOU SEEN THE-"

"TONGS? NO, THE SKEWERS. YEAH, THEY'RE IN THE OTHER DRAWER."

"THANKS."

the two of you went about your previous tasks, thinking nothing of the conversation that had just taken place

at least until you'd begun washing your knife and cutting board

that's when Casey walked in, looking both perturbed and annoyed at the same time

"Alright, which one of you knows telepathy?"

Mikey exchanged a glance with you and you returned it with a raised eyebrow

"The hell you mean brah?"

he looked at the both of you like you were the ones that had grown four extra heads before speaking again

"You literally just had a conversation with like five words and somehow just knew what the other meant? What's up with that?"

you glanced at Mikey again

"Holy shit, did we?"

"I mean, not really. You used your hands."

now all three of you were confused but it quickly became two when Casey shook his head in defeat and left the room

"You know I think he's right."

he blinked first and your staring contest ended

"But you used your hands-"

"I got autism Mikey, one does not simply not use their hands as forms of speech."

"You're-"

"Yep."

was the silence laughing at you? could it do that? it was kinda rude

"Huh, that actually makes sense, that's not mean is it?"

you shook your head no

"You're just me but fast."

Mikey agreed with that, pestered you with a few more questions, and went back about working, as did you, you saw no reason to address it further

but your cheeks burned red

"Yo- Y/N that actually explains why everyone else thinks we're a thing."

you didn't know if you could choke on air or not but you did it anyways

"Are we?"

he gave you his signature grin

"If we are then Raph owes April a hundred bucks."

you returned his smile

"Oh this oughta be good."

I'd like to preface this by apologizing for my near three week absence. Life got crazy and my writer's block hopped on a train, went through a school zone, killed seven pedestrians, and committed tax fraud before tumbling off a cliff never to be seen again.

But on the bright side- I got my SAT scores back and started some scholarship applications. Super happy with that. School's out in a few weeks so I'll be able to write more (hopefully).

Anyways, I hope I got this one down okay. I may have hyper analyzed the request so I might be a little off. But I really enjoyed doing this one and I hope you like it!

hiba facts bc he’s on my mind this fine evening (edit: this ended up being long so i put it under a read more lol)

- really terribly farsighted. cypress family trait of eyesight atrocious.

- he splits his time as much as he’s able between the main pearl clan settlement in the alabaster icelands and a small base he has in the foothills of the coronet highlands. he isn’t always able to travel back and forth as much as he’d like, given how he’ll occasionally be knocked outta commission from some climbing-related injury or pokemon attack.

- he doesn’t have any pokemon that are strictly “his,” but there are a few chimecho that like to follow him around.

- he’s very curious about pokemon!! just like, in general lol. more specifically though, he admires those who are able to form partnerships with pokemon and for a very long time he wanted to become a warden, despite his disaster-prone and foolhardy nature making him not the best fit for the job.

- other reason why he wouldn’t be a good warden is he can’t play the flute for shit. alas :(

- what his actual job is as an astronomer for the pearl clan, an important position that has him not only keeping track of the changing weather and seasons, but also keeping track of the will of Sinnoh through the movement of  stars and planets (though in the case of the latter, he is generally more the observer than the interpreter.)

- basically, autism be damned my boy can work a star chart 

- i think it would be fun if hiba was the one who initially found ingo and brought him back to the clan. certainly a concept for my brain to chew on. either way, i think they can hanging out.

- on the subject of hiba hanging out with characters i think him and laventon would also be besties. talking about pokemon sightings and space-time distortions like its the hottest gossip and whatnot.

ok im done talking about my guy for now. i go to bed.

The Boys With an Autistic MC HC !! (SFW !)

(aka I’m projecting bc sad) (I also have adhd so there will be adhd moments)

Lucifer:

This boy has so much work yet he still find the time to help you put together a routine

WILL make sure you stick to it

He will rearrange the entire school if it will help you

If any demon and I mean ANY demon is even the slightest bit mean to you they go mysteriously missing the next day

Sometimes he infantilises you but he doesn’t mean to, tell him to cut it out and the shame will rip through him

In line with that you will probably find him cutting the crusts off your sandwiches and rearranging your stuffies, up to you if you want him to stop that (I hate crusts and my teddies deserve to be comfortable too)

Makes sure you’re accommodated everywhere in the devildom not just rad and and the hol

One day you realise his suit jacket? Perfect fabric for stimming

He starts dressing according to the fabrics you like

Let’s you hold his sleeve arm when talking bc it’s a good stim

Will put his jacket on you when you’re overwhelmed and need some familiarity

You start to associate his smell with safety

Mammon:

Pretends he doesn’t care

Treats you the most normal out of all the brothers

Has actually memorised your routine and knows your stressors/meltdown/shutdown triggers

White knights you very subtly

You think demons are very accepting in the devildom but in reality mammon does the same as luci but his approach is much more ‘stop it before it starts’

Buys you stimmies bc he loves the way you look when you’re happy stimming (yes BUYS not steals)

Too embarrassed to give you them so they just appear in your room

He’s just coincidentally in the hallway when you come rushing out to show people

You eventually realise it’s gotta be him bc he’s always there when you find em so you just start running directly to him

Loves it if you have echolalia

Tries to get you to repeat ‘the great mammon’ as much as possible

If he finds you repeating words/beeping at the microwave he will engage and do the same until you happy stim (then he will try get you to repeat ‘mc’s first man the great mammon’

If you start calling him that ?! The boy will melt. (I get intense echolalia with ‘mammonie’ and i think he would straight up die hearing mc go ‘mammonie mammonie mammonie’

After all it makes sense that the great mammon is constantly on your mind

Levithian:

Another nerd ?! Heck yeah!! !

Very glad you aren’t a normie

Perhaps relates the most to your experience against the allistics as ppl don’t like him bc he’s a ‘yucky okatu’

Loves when you talk about a special interest (SI) because you’re just as obsessive as he is

Will try and get you obsessed with anime and manga if you aren’t already

Is a shut in so he gets that people are overwhelming and scary at times

Is uncharacteristically vulnerable and open with you bc he feels like you understand his existence at a deeper level

If you like squishes (and show him first) he will start asking for the deep pressure hugs when he feels he needs them

But ofc bc you’re both you, the method for asking is just repeating the word squish over and over while you hug

Eye contact !? Oh hell no

Most of your conversations are done facing away from each other

Asmodeus:

Same clothes? Comfort items? No no no no no you gotta look beautiful like you are!

Does not entirely get it at first, how can anyone want to wear something more than once?

Once you explain it he will drag you shopping (to high end shops, using avoiding crowds as an excuse to pamper you) to find a signature, beautiful, comfortable and easy to put on outfit for you to wear

He will then buy 30 of them just in case you lose anything

He WILL give you presents randomly after you told him you like to wear clothing with emotional significance

Bonding time includes decorating your ear defenders and sunglasses

If your SI is anything to do with fashion or beauty or just asmo things in general this boy will NEVER leave your side. You become the only person he wants to talk to

If you excited stim by bouncing, hand flapping or squealing he is right there with you creating a feedback loop of excited stimming

When he finds out you like routine he will check you’re doing the beauty routine he made for you every night

If you’re too tired he will do it for you (or even if you just ask he loves being close to you)

If you’re touch repulsed he will ask every time before he even gets close to you (EVERY DAMN TIME ! This man understands consent and the fact that some days touch is too much others it’s not)

Satan:

Acts like lucifer visa the routine n rad but with no infantilising

Reads every study ever done on autism and neurodivergence ever

ANGOR at human world autism studies bc they’re dumb and there’s so much more interesting things to investigate to do with being autistic

He does go to the human world and he does stab a$$ and those involved

If you let him he will study you

Tracks your sleep, eating habits, and mood regulation (after he asks ofc)

Meltdowns? No that’s a regular day in Satan’s head

He lets you use his rage room (he definitely has a room exclusively for smashing stuff) if you feel even a little stressed

Likes talking about your SI’s with you bc it’s rare he finds someone so knowledgeable on a subject

Beelezebub:

The kindest most patient boy

Helps you find foods that don’t mess with your texture issues

Checks to make sure you’ve eaten in case you’ve been distracted and not realised you’re hungry

Doesn’t understand AFRID because food is good?? But is willing to help you with it (see previous points)

Stims with you because it makes you happy

Will let you info dump for hours even if he doesn’t get it

Is generally very warm so he makes the perfect person for squishes

Perfectly happy to just sit in silence and not talk or make eye contact

Belphagor:

Definitely understands the exhaustion that comes with being disabled

If you even look overstimulated he will kidnap you for a nap (whether than be physically or if you’re touch repulsed he will fake an emergency (the emergency is you being over stim Ed) just to get u out, it’s the only thing he puts effort into)

Shares his secret super soft blanket stash bc you are the only one who can appreciate how freaking soft the texture is

Best person to look after you in a shutdown bc he kinda gets it

Gets his own ear defenders and sunglasses so he can sleep in class (claims it’s solidarity with you)

Just enjoys your company like his bro so ditto on the silence thing

(There’s more I can think of but this is already really long, comment if u want part 2)

[alexis-royce]

I'm assembling a quick list, please add more, and mind your trigger warnings, horror is a genre that frequently seeks to allow the viewer to feel uncomfortable for fun!

Books:

Frankenstein - Mary Shelly, You know this one. Life, death, and what it takes to be a terrible father.

Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Robert Louis Stevenson, Another classic. Good, evil, and the dangers of feeling pressured to hide who you really are from the world.

The Works of HP Lovecraft - Purple prose written by a mean little puke, but the guy sure loves to drag his knowledge-seeking protags into the dirt and then kick them several times until they're unrecognizable!

The Death of Jane Lawrence - Caitlin Starling, Crimson Peak vibes. A surgeon pulls a mega-hubris and ruins his life, and then our protagonist gets her hands VERY dirty to follow him down. 

Doctor Faustus - Christopher Marlowe & Faust - Goethe, Two takes on the classic tale of one man's desire to take as much science out of mad science as he possibly can

The Monster of Elendhaven - Jennifer Giesbrecht, we follow two men with very dark intentions, through a plague-stricken, pitch-dark gothic horror.

The Invisible Man - HG Wells, Griffin is a classic scenery-chewer, and he lives to make terrible decisions. Wells was a socialist, and the whole point of this novel is not that science is bad, but that unchecked power can never prevail over a bunch of people who can actually work together. Griffin is prime blorbo real estate, please join me in loving my terrible man

Film:

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Rebuild Movies - The rebuilds have a slightly different arc for Gendo Ikari, which might just be what you'd like to see. But in any version, there are a few scientists having a pretty awful time and making deeply poor choices.

The Evil Dead Franchise - Ashley Johanna Williams should not be alive. The forces he is engaged with run him through the ringer, and they take and take and take from him. So he brushes the blood off, builds a chainsaw arm or gets out the chem books to reinvent gunpowder, and ignores the people back home who have turned him into a walking cautionary tale.

Re-Animator - In case anyone missed Herbert West up there. Autism be damned, my boy can raise the dead

Breaking Bad - Walter White is a monster and that show is the slow drip reveal that he always was. If you've been turned off from the show by people who acted like he was a badass, I am here to reassure you: he is pathetic all the way through, and just trashed by the end, and that's a lot of the fun!

Musicals:

Jekyll & Hyde - An adaptation of Stevenson's Novella, brewing heavily from early cinematic adaptations. Some of the purest concentrated melodrama you will ever consume.

Rocky Horror Picture Show -  "I'm going home."

Podcasts:

The Magnus Archives - They, uh. Seriously commit to the downward spiral on this one. They stand at the threshold that most media has as the worst case scenario, grab ahold of a man's vocal chords, and fuck him up reeeeeeeaaalllly badly. It's great.

Webcomics: 

Girl Genius - Phil & Kaja Foglio, Steampunk worldbuilding where "Sparks" are people so drawn toward inventing and creation that they take increasingly dangerous risks, endangering themselves and the people around them.

The Search for Henry Jekyll - MidoriLied, An adaptation of Stevenson's Novella that preserves and refreshes its roots as a mystery/thriller, with increasingly astonishing linework and panel composition.

Video Games:

If On A Winter's Night Four Travellers - Every step you take as Dr. Samuels will have you chewing on your shirt-cuffs, muttering "Oh no, don't do this, the cost keeps increasing, there will be nothing left of you!"

Romancing Flesh - Body horror and queer tragedy under the icey grip of the red scare.

Portal 2 - Cave Johnson, oh my god. But also Aperture itself. The entire facility as an incarnation of mad science itself, degrading and destroying anyone foolish enough to think it can be controlled.

Fallout New Vegas - Too many examples to count. But check out the quest Old World Blues. It's got the specific flavor you crave.

Fallen London - I would probably hit post wordcount trying to summarize the number of subquests this game has where a mad scientist falls victim to their own hubris. There is a literal rainbow of impossible colors in this game that all have different ways that scientists have destroyed themselves. And since you cannot stay dead, you can experience them over and over. But there is one quest that is all about the downfall, can only be done once, and it's a legend in certain corners of the internet. If you choose to go seeking for it.

Tabletop games:

Genius: The Transgression, A New World of Darkness fan game that is as robust as any published setting. If you want to make your own characters who are overcome by passion for science, revenge, and showing them all that they were wrong to underestimate you, this is an excellent game. I've personally played a long form campaign and used it in campaigns of my own, big recommendations.

My Life With Master - Play as the minions and communally design the scientist you serve, and ultimately- tears streaming down your face- betray.

Bonus:

Young Frankenstein - This film's a comedy, but it is about a respected scientist getting pulled into the lifetime nightmare that is his well known heritage. The musical's got some rough edges, but it adds something of a gutpunch right before the end, I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it

Yo anyone got any media recs with mad scientist protagonists? Books, movies, anything

Been hankering to watch the downward spiral of Some Guy’s life/reputation due to their own hubris a la The Fly or Herbert West. Absolute Poor Little Meow Meow material.
