#But I wager there's some autism going on

[t1meslayer]

Apples and Olives (Ch. 1)

If you look at the featured image I made and don't think Carmine and Nemona would be unstoppable girlfriends... Dunno what to tell you.

Game Freak may have kept them apart in The Teal Mask DLC to protect the careful balance of the Pokemon universe, but I'm here to rectify that error.

If all goes according to plan, part 2 coming soon!

---

Fandom: Pokemon (Scarlet and Violet's Teal Mask DLC in particular - no substantial spoilers!)

Pairing: Nemona/Carmine (as part of my "Paldea's Fearsome Foursome" series)

Summary: After an exhilarating trip to Kitakami, Florian invites one of his new companions to visit Paldea in return. He senses a good amount of similarities between Carmine and his rival Nemona back home, and thinks they could be friends. However, their differences may repel the two girls like water and oil.

Warnings for an angy girl, language, and cartoon violence (i.e. Pokemon battles to come).

"Now, you've gotta battle me!"

The visitor blinks a few times, her shoulders slumped into an almost ape-like position. She glances toward Florian, who's on the tail end of an exhausted sigh.

"Well." Carmine's gaze drifts back to Nemona. "You work fast."

"There's no better way to get to know somebody than meeting them in glorious combat!" Nemona radiates giddy energy, hopping from sneaker to sneaker as she pumps both arms up-and-down in unison. "I want to see what they're teaching you over in Blueberry Academy!"

wanna ask how you feel about the eridan bpd headcanon/theory(?? not sure what to call it!) you're so good at your character analysis and i'd love to see your outlook on it

Since I don't have a degree or any formal training in psychology, I feel deeply uncomfortable diagnosing characters. I've made an autism joke before but only because I'm on the spectrum. He's definitely traumatized and anxious, but I mean those as descriptors of his behavior rather than capital-D Diagnoses. I try to focus on those when I can - the cause and effect of cognition, self-image, and behavior - and those factors may very well match up with DSM criteria, but I try not to touch an actual diagnosis with a ten foot pole unless the author has explicitly stated that X character has Y condition.

Volume 2 episode 9 rewatch thoughts, RWDE/critical thoughts ahead

.God I love Oobleck. (get him away from Port)

.Everyone I know who has a PHD does the "It's doctor (persons name)" thing too

.Nora getting mad that she isn't a main character... yet? Does she count as a main character by now, I'm not sure?

.I already know how much I hate the junior detectives bit and having them mention that set off an ominous gonging bell in my head

."History is the backbone of our very society, and the liver, and probably the kidneys if I were to wager" God I love Oobleck

.How does Ruby not know what the word tussle is, but also know about mountain glenn? It feels like how smart or dumb she is changes depending on how the writer's feeling that day.

.I can't just list every joke when I do these but I need to put Ruby going "You hadn't told us to listen to you yet, so I didn't." responded to with Oobleck going "She's not wrong" just hehheheh

.Nothing Oobleck actually says is wrong, team RWBY just keep doubting him because he happens to be eccentric.

.Ruby and Oobleck are autism to autism communication

.Time for one of the worst fights in the early volumes, It's not even that bad but I don't like the editing style that much, I don't like the background just turning into a grey void sometimes, and there are no stakes at all. But shout out to that one short animation of Zwei where they just tilted his entire model up and then back down like a 3DS era pokemon animation

.Like how much Oobleck makes it clear hunting is not all action scenes and ass kicking.

.I like how simple Yang's motivation is compared to Blake and Weiss, they all have these really deep lore reasons for what their doing and Yang's just along for the ride

.Where did Ruby get that whole ass chicken?

.What Oobleck implies about grimm still feeling like something the show hasn't lived up to, at least with grimm that don't have something weird about them like the Hound. the fact we see grimm doesn't help we see grimm both near identical too and much bigger then the Goliaths he's talking about get taken out pretty easily.

.Oobleck's speech about being a huntsmen is really powerful, this is why I love his character

.I find it interesting how worried Yang looks after Ruby tells her that Oobleck didn't ask about the whole being a Hunter thing.

.The somber ending this episode has is unexpected but not unwelcome, it's a normal amount of sad instead beating you half to death with sadness like some of the later seasons do.

HEEHEEHEE Heby time

He's autism? Yes. Special interests??

Is he Mormon? This is Utah

Has he always lived in Utah or has he lived/grown up elsewhere before moving to Utah?

What attracts him to William (non romantically)? What makes him go oh I could work with that guy he has good ideas?

ABSOLUTELY AUTISM!!! obvious special interest would be animatronics i think ^_^

as for being mormon... hrmmmm... i'd say yes. he was born into a mormon family and was raised to be one as well. considering he talks about the devil and hell in his speech. i'd wager meeting william kind of made him more open-minded though (considering william is both trans and queer and at that point henry probably hadn't really met anyone else like that. probably still internalized homophobia tho) and he's not super strongly religious by the time fnaf 6 rolls around. mostly because i dont feel like touching mormonism with a 10 ft pole

i believe henry was born and raised in utah! part of the reason he is mormon is his upbringing. im thinking he's lived in hurricane for pretty much all his life but that is subject to change.

i think what attracts him to william is that they're subconsciously kind of on the same wavelength. both eccentric, a little bit strange, outcasts (william was, anyways, but he's more popular in utah since "trustworthy" accent + no one knows him pre-transition). both like technology on some level. and of course they're both FURRIES!!! i think henry likes william because william is the first person to actually Listen when he talks about wanting to make animatronics. maybe william brings up a rudimentary idea for the springlock system and henry's like oh thats really smart actually. and william probably shows him his fursona too

Hi! I hope you’re doing well. This spring most of my peers are graduating college and the fact that I have yet to start (or even decide if I want to go) has me feeling like a total failure. I could really use recommendations for your favorite lighthearted/fun romances. Thank you!

I'm sorry that you're feeling down. Honestly, take this time to think really hard about it and don't conform to what seems "right", do what's right for YOU. College was always a given to me--I "had" to go, even though it was basically entirely up to me to pay for it... and I did, with some scholarships but mostly loans, and now I'm in massive debt with a degree I didn't really think through (however much I loved what I studied) because I was 17 and had basically zero guidance and felt obligated to begin college ASAP.

I also had a total mental breakdown during my first semester and had to take over a year off before I was ready to go back. I still graduated, and though I have regrets about not thinking through the money and major stuff, I did genuinely enjoy my college experience after I went back. I think I would've enjoyed it even more if I'd taken time to decompress and figure my brain out. So sincerely, no pressure, no rush, in terms of timelines you can do this at any point. One of my favorite classmates was in her 60s.

ANYWAY. Soapbox over, I've got you!

Generally, I would recommend Tessa Dare if you want a fun historical romance. Some of her books do deal with heavier topics--from what I recall, The Wallflower Wager touched on childhood sexual abuse, and that's the heaviest one I think I've read from her. But if you want to try her out, read A Week to be Wicked--it's fun, it's a road trip, the hero makes an amazing joke about the heroine being a sword swallower... And they're really hot. I also love When A Scot Ties the Knot, Any Duchess Will Do (though heads up, this one does discuss the loss of a child) and basically the entire Spindle Cove series.

Talia Hibbert has some really fun contemporaries. Her Brown Sisters trilogy is great; usually they touch on serious topics like mental health and chronic pain while not getting TOO heavy. Act Your Age, Eve Brown may be my favorite--it's light enemies to lovers and both leads are on the autism spectrum. There's a scene where he finds her dildo that's both hilarious and hot?

Alexis Hall is HYSTERICAL, and I would super recommend Something Fabulous and Something Spectacular, his historical romcoms. The first one is a m/m road trip romance where this stuffy duke proposes to a woman horribly, she goes on the run, and he has to track her down with her sparkly fun twin brother... who he falls for... Something Spectacular has a nonbinary genderfluid lead try to help her ex get the attention of a famous castrato soprano, only for the soprano to notice her rather than her friend. These books are literally laugh out loud reads for me.

Heated Rivalry and The Long Game by Rachel Reid. M/m hockey romances, light enemies to lovers--these two dudes are the biggest hockey rivals in the league, but they've been secretly hooking up since their rookie season. Hot, romantic, emotional. It does deal with themes of homophobia and internalized homophobia and there is some "can we make this work" angst but it's really such a lovely and loving duet. It makes me SO happy, and they're two of my top "pick me up" reads.

Annika Martin's The Billionaire's Wake-Up-Call-Girl!! Such a fun contemporary romcom, but it's also sexy? The heroine is supposed to set up wake up calls for the billionaire CEO of her company, but she fucks it up and can't afford to lose her job, so she does them herself and he really likes her caustic attitude and doesn't realize she's an employee, so they get... dirty? It's so frothy and fun. The next book in the series, Most Eligible Billionaire, is also fun and light, but the heroine does have a backstory involving attempted SA that's heavier, so heads up. Aside from that, it is ridiculously funny.

A Witch's Guide to Fake Dating a Demon by Sarah Hawley if you're open to paranormal. A witch who's supposed to have untold power accidentally summons a demon who needs to collect her soul, and they enter into a stalemate that does involve fake dating. Hot, also?

The Queer Principles of Kit Webb by Cat Sebastian. Local lord needs to steal a special book from his evil dad, so he tries to hire a retired highwayman who's like "fuck no but I'll teach you how to do it". They fall in love. So funny but also emotional; Kit (the highwayman) is desperately besotted while Percy (the lord) is like "UGH I CANNOT HANDLE YOUR EMOTIONS".

Georgie, All Along by Kate Clayborn is a great "I am stuck in life and need to figure shit out" book about a 28-year-old who returns to her small town after losing her job as a celebrity's personal assistant. She uncovers this notebook where she wrote all her hopes and dreams as a young teen, and begins to try to live them out with the help of the older brother of the guy she had a crush on (and of course, he's a former bad boy).

Praise by Sara Cate, if you want an adventurous contemporary that has some angst but nothing super heavy? The heroine is 21 and recently broke up with her cheating boyfriend. She goes to his estranged dad's place to pick up the rental deposit the bf owes her, and the dad.... who is 40... thinks she's one of the girl's sent to audition for the role of his professional (not inherently sexual) submissive? And she thinks being told to kneel on the floor is just something he's doing for a bit so she does it and LIKES IT? And he realizes who she is and is like FUCK but feels bad so he hires her as his (platonic, super professional) secretary? And he is the partial owner of a sex club?

Never have I read a book where I felt more "God I wish that was me", I won't lie. The whole series is very good, explores some deeper topics but isn't SUPER heavy.

The Nanny by Lana Ferguson is a contemporary about a woman who takes this nanny gig working for a hot single dad chef... only to find out that he used to be a huge fan of her on OnlyFans. Hot and light and I liked it A LOT.

I also would sooo recommend India Holton's Dangerous Damsels trilogy. I love them all, they're hilarious and romantic and have a great world of flying pirates and witches and spies.

[northwest-cryptid]

Alright so let's talk about this yea?

Now it's important to note that the age at which you encounter this fae is important to your answer. If you're a younger child, your number can be higher with a much safer bet considering you literally have more bones to work with.

Oddly enough a large matter of importance here is how the bones are taken, rather when the bones are taken; are they taken all at once? Are they extracted one at a time? Is it like a credit card where I owe a bone every month?

For the sake of consistency we're going to say that the bones magically just poof out of your body all at once when you make the declaration. Otherwise it's too easy, just spend a small amount of the money you gain replacing the bones one by one when they're taken. Sure it's not that simple but it's doable.

However if we are going by the idea that you're not a child, and you're losing all the bones you wager at the same time; and we assume you're not currently in a hospital or location where surgery can be done immediately, what is the safest bet?

Well assuming you're not missing any bones, the average human adult has about 206 bones total. However some of these bones are more essential than others; for example if you lost your entire leg you would have more than enough money to replace the entire thing if you cared about that considering the following:

You're just missing the bones, all of the muscle and tissue is still there, so while likely expensive, you could easily get surgery to install artificial bones or at least metal rods to act like bones.

You'd have about 56 million in your pocket for just the one leg. This is because "There are 62 lower extremity bones. They consist of 10 hip and leg, 14 ankle and 38 foot bones." We can deduce here that the 10 for hip and leg would be reduced to only 4 since we don't want to remove your hips just the legs; which only contain the four bones femur, tibia, fibula, and patella.

Alright so let's assume that you still need at least 1 arm/finger to access your phone and call for a ride to the hospital at the end of this. What is the optimal amount of bones you wager from your 206?

We've determined that you have about 56 bones in each leg not counting your hips/pelvis. This means we're already sitting pretty at 112 possible bones. Alright, so then it all comes down to probability right?

Now as a fellow ADHD individual who struggled with the way school taught math; I will recap how probability works for those who don't know. To calculate probability, you must divide the number of favorable events by the total number of possible events. In this case, we have 112 favorable events, and a total possible number of 206 events. But... ask yourself, are we calculating this correctly?

Well, technically speaking sure, we're calculating the probability to have 1 single bone of the 112 correctly. However the probability changes as each bone is taken, and furthermore we likely want to see the probability that fate picks a bone we DON'T want it to.

For example, if you only wager 1 bone, and we assume that every single bone is equally as "vital" for survival, even though this is not the case as losing a spine bone higher up could paralyze you from the neck down, while losing a toe bone won't really impact you at all; we're seeing a probability of simply 1 out of 206.

While on the surface a 1/206 odds chance to be paralyzed from the neck down for 1 million dollars doesn't sound so bad, we have to consider the fact that it's actually really hard to calculate the proper probability of something like this.

However we can understand that 112 is literally 54.37% of 206; above 50% that's not exactly great odds for everything being localized to your legs exclusively. You're looking at roughly a heads or tails chance here.

Now you see, as an individual with ADHD and autism I often find myself in situations where I desperately need to consider the scientific statistics of the situation but employ a faster, more dangerous; but in this case potentially profitable strategy of simply:

Fuck it we ball.

31 - 60 is likely the safest bet for your buck here. You're gambling around the 25% mark of your overall bones. That being said, no science is done without testing and our fellow tumblr user has given us a very useful website to see which bones would be taken. So let's gamble 25% which comes out to about 41. Alright let's see what we get!

Oh I am VERY dead. Lost my entire spine and skull and my pelvis and my arms.

So what's my take away here? More of your bones are vital than you likely consider, at first glance it's easy to believe that given that over half your body's bones are in your legs and arms, these would be more likely to be taken than say parts of your skull or spine. The problem with that line of logic is that while yes, that's true; you do have way more bones in your legs/feet/arms/hands than the rest of your body, the bones located elsewhere are much larger and thus more vital. If you lose any part of your skull outside of say, your ears, teeth, or jaw; you're basically good as dead. If you lose your spine you are going to become paralyzed.

So is there actually a safe bet here?

YES THERE IS.

And what exactly is that safe bet?

Well if you want to know, the SAFEST bet is to simply not give up any bones, there are many bones in your body that are simply far too vital to your survival to gamble them.

But what if you REALLY want to make some money? Well, then just pick one. Why?

Because greed is ultimately your downfall here, even if you don't think of it as greed. You might hear me say that about 25% is good safety bang for your buck, truth is; it seemed that way when I had done initial calculations. However running an actual test shows me that no, you are ABSOLUTELY DEAD. The actual chances you manage to remove exclusively your leg/feet bones or some equivalent non-vital bone is astronomically low when you factor in how many bones 41 RANDOMLY SELECTED bones actually happen to be.

But the whole premise of this preys on the idea that you fail to grasp just how much 1 million really is. So let's say you go with just one, everyone calls you a coward, but don't worry they won't be talking much longer when they no longer have a spine, skull, or various parts of their pelvis and ribs. So you'll have the last laugh here. That is, as long as you're luckier than this unfortunate soul:

Or uh... this unfortunate soul:

Well you know what they say, third times the charm:

Have I made the point super clear that this is NOT A GOOD GAMBLE.

Bones are actually way more important than we may give them credit for, at least the vital ones are. Bones tend to be a sort of all or nothing; which may lead you to believe it should be a matter of "go big or go home" you might even think that 2 - 5 is a better gamble than just one. Why only walk away with one million when you cou-

DID THE ABOVE DEMONSTRATION MEAN NOTHING TO YOU?! It took me three attempts to find a non-lethal bone removal for JUST ONE BONE. Do you realize how much you could do with 1 million dollars?!

A quick search online will tell you: Middle Class Defined by Region. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the median income in 2021 was $70,784. So American families earning between $47,189 and $141,568 are technically in the middle class, according to the Pew Research Center's definition. This means for just 1 bone, just 1 which is risky as hell as it is! You could be living a middle class living situation on the HIGH end for nearly 7 years without earning a dime!

"But Cryptid I could survive 5 times as long if-" NO! YOU COULD SURVIVE 2 SECONDS

"but I kept playing the human bone generator until I got a favorable outcome that proves you wrong lol"

Alright, fine; this is the LEAST lethal outcome I got across multiple generations, and the worst part is; this was after 5 minutes of attempts.

only problem here is that your nasal bone and sphenoid bone are completely gone, not broken or something; GONE.

For anyone who says "yea and I'd have 5 million dollars!" Please consider: The sphenoid bone has many essential functions. It helps form the base and lateral sides of the skull in combination with the orbital floor. Its many articulations with other bones give the skull rigidity. It is an attachment site for many of the muscles of mastication.

You have nothing, you're somewhere between either being dead or wishing you were.

Remember, your safest bet is to NEVER DEAL WITH THE FAE EVER BECAUSE THAT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA. Your comfortable gamble is ONE, NO MORE.

JUST 1. Take your 1 million and live a happy li-

MY COCCYX!

I saw this question posed on tiktok, but I think Tumblr would really enjoy it too.

If a fae creature offered to give one million dollars for a bone chosen at random, how many bones would you allow them to take?

Light clarifications; The fae is not the one choosing the bones. The bone is taken at random. Each bone, no matter the size or importance, is worth a full million dollars. You must also declare the exact number first, you can't go bone-by-bone. You either say 2 or you say 10, you can't work your way up to a higher number. The bones are removed instantaneously, and the money is given immediately as well. You will not get in government trouble for acquiring the money.

Tell me in the tags/replies how many bones you'd let the fae take. And as always, reblog for bigger sample size.

[mickgaydolenz]

asia,

self imposed tumblr ban is over if you could not tell by my reblog spam last night lol

i got assigned work to do for co-op (just stuff we would do during our in class days) and so i’ve just been doing that whilst watching venom: let there be carnage. let me tell ya that movie is just one long enemies to lover to reluctant friends to lovers 10k one shot. divorce movie i tell you

the new mandalorian season is going well. i’m so glad to have him back eek eek 🐁 only downside is that when i go on trip i cannot go full autism mode when i watch it </3 bc it will be releasing every wednesday and for two wednesdays i will be on trip

back to watching lotr now! i love the costumes so much. HATE the contacts they use though like why do legolas and elrond’s eyes look like That. jesus christ

xoxo younger sibling (also senior auditions for the musical me drama class is putting on were yesterday, tomorrow we find out who is who and i’m a little nervy)

ahahahah i did see, love that you can go full yippeee mode for the next little while before you have to be forced into the autism silence chamber. although i am so, so, so excited for you to go on that trip (you better fucking recreate some hannibal moments in the cringiest way possible or i’ll simply weep). i’m dying over your description of venom, i’ve never seen the movie but i’d wager that that is the most accurate description of it anyone could ever come up with. agreed that the lotr contacts give uncanny valley vibes, something just way too fake about them. DUDE YOU NEED TO TELL ME WHAT YOU GET FOR THE MUSICAL MAN!!!

[guiltyidealist]

I researched Alan Turing last spring and it made me so fucking emotional. Like this feeling of... rich metaphysical kinship. Connection across time and space. Comradery transcending the tangible. 

Alan Turing (1912-1954) invented the computer as we know it -- binary code -- and saved countless lives on the Allied powers during WWII. It got out that he was a homosexual sometime after and he spent the rest of his life chemically castrated and under close surveillance by the UK government. His death was ruled a suicide, but his mother & family members protested this due to some plausible deniability. 

You know that story. But that’s not the part of the story that made me emotional. Not in the way I’m talking about. 

Alan Turing loved Snow White. The Disney movie came out during his lifetime and he was fucking infatuated with it, sparking a fondness for animation. He was endlessly captivated by the poison apple and its symbolism.

Did you know that? Do you love Snow White? Alan Turing, the gay man we have to thank for every core structure of most modern societies, loved Snow White. You two loved Snow White. He loved Snow White and you loved Snow White. Y’all loved Snow White. Have you ever pondered the symbolism behind the Snow White poison apple? Turing would go on if you got him talking about the fucking poison apple from Snow White, nerding out over its purpose representing the duality of life and death, fixated on the scene where Snow White bites into it. 

Alan Turing was considered a genius and attended many pristine schools. His schoolteachers were often irked by his “careless” tendencies, wearing loose-fitting casual wear rather than his uniforms and skipping assignments. 

Do you have ADHD and/or autism? Because if you do, I’d wager you’re familiar with skipping school work and wearing loose sweatpants and sweatshirts on a day-to-day basis. Alan Turing did that. You and Alan Turing skipped assignments and were told you could be more if you only worked harder (gifted kids can I get a woot woot...). You and Alan Turing wore the comfort clothes that you fucking wanted, damned be all. Y’all were neurodivergent in the school system.  

Alan Turing had never cared for studying the classics and philosophy, which was an expected standard in British culture at the time, and was instead enamored with the sciences and mathematics. He neglected the former and didn’t pay attention during the lessons. He was ridiculed, scolded, and looked down upon for this. He had a stern talking to every now and then from various teachers to not waste his time with his interests, which were regarded as less respectable at the time, nowhere near the height at which Western culture holds them today. 

Do you love mathematics or the sciences? More so than the classics like Aristotle perhaps? Alan Turing did. Philosophy bored him to death. Ever spaced out during lessons that didn’t interest you? Have people who are supposed to help you grow ever stifled your unpopular interests? Alan Turing underwent that. You two loved maths or sciences, you two know what it’s like to love a shunned subject and be discouraged from it by others at every turn, you two know what’s like to be unable to get your brain engaged with a subject you couldn’t care less for. You and Alan Turing. 

But apple boy learned to be better about tending to the classics in school through his teenage friend and first love, Christopher Morcom. The two were brilliant students who bonded over their affinity for maths and sciences, feelings of alienation from peers, and blazing spirits of rebellion. They became inseparable and got into Teen Boy Hijinks But Nerdy & Autistic in school, like class fucking clowns but neurodivergent and highly intelligent. 

Were you a class clown? Had yourself a childhood crushie, perhaps on a class clown? Neurodivergent? Ever feel alienated from other people because of how different you are from them? Have a rebellious streak? Ever just have an intimately close best friend? Gay awakening? Turing did. You and Turing were class clowns or had crushies or friends or were neurodivergent or felt alienated or were punks. Both of you. Turing and [your name].

Christopher died at 18 or 19 due to complications from a childhood case of tuberculosis. Alan Turing was crushed. He mourned this relationship for the rest of his life, writing of Christopher with tender words and remaining in contact with his mother for the rest of his life. He wrote of Christopher: 

“I am sure I could not have found anywhere another companion so brilliant and yet so charming and unconceited. I regarded my interest in my work, and in such things as astronomy (to which he introduced me) as something to be shared with him and I think he felt a little the same about me…”

... which is so fucking sof holy shit. Have you ever lost somebody you loved? Somebody you were in love with? Somebody you never had the chance to confess to? Somebody so closely entwined with your person that their family became your family? Alan Turing lost somebody he loved, never had the chance to confess with, whose person was such a part of him that he carried the memories through the rest of his life. He pushed to live on and breathe each breath Christopher would never take.

Alan Turing was also a communist, even joining a commie club in college! He watched the rise of fascist dictators across the world following WWI -- in real time as he grew up in the 1910s and 1920s -- and he aligned himself politically with the Soviet Union. Other students knew him as a socially inept loner, but a fucking genius. 

You a commie? Alan Turing was. He fucking knew what’s good. You resent fascism and the incentivized abuses of capitalism? He too saw right through their evils. Got no social skills? Introverted? Known for intelligence among peers? Familiar with gifted kid syndrome maybe? Apple boy lived an existence we nowadays associate with autism and ADHD, all his skill points dumped into intelligence rather than social skills. You and him, he and you. You and him and me. Me and you and him. Us. 

Listen. I feel so much fucking affinity for and kinship with this queer man I did not overlap with in existence, who I have to thank for even making this post on this website on this computer about him. Some guy (gender-neutral) like the rest of us, like me and you, just an identifiably critical one. Like, listen to me: a person that made -- I’m gonna argue it -- the single largest and most important contribution to humanity’s progression that ever came out of any 1 person, across all of human history. And he fucked men.

Which is again, not to say not to enjoy darkstalker for his potential as a sympathetic villain and understand his various and complicated motivations and actions. Im just saying if youre reading every other page of darkstalker and only the parts that you like youre missing out on an amazing complex character and heartbreaking situation to get your serotonin for crying about your baby boy who committed genocide in an entirely in character event

I love darkstalker! I sympathize with him as someone who was raised in a visciously abusive household, lacking love from a specific person who was supposed to hand it out unconditionally, as well as being strange and out of place and having certain conditions that make you inclined to potentially hurting others (bpd, psychosis, autism, what have you). Thats why its VERY IMPORTANT to me that people understand darkstalker for what he is, for at what points he is sympathetic and for what points he is a villain. I hate to be represented or projected onto a character so cruel as to neglect and, yes, id wager outright abuse those closest to him. He lies to his friends constantly about what he does to them, outright, through his teeth about extremely big things like enchantments to basically spy on someone for leverage over them and to outright brainwash them. No hesitation. It worries me that people think that may be normal excusable behavior with proper intent.

I wish darkstalker got better. Truly. I wish he hadnt dug himself into a deeper hole even though the hole he was tossed into by fate was not fair and so very deep. He did not need to keep digging himself down deeper though we all do at some point. He had many opportunities to even simply consider what he was doing and he refused. It really hurts.. when people say, this is a good example (sympathetically) of characters with toxic patterns when i am of one with toxic patterns earnestly trying to get better. I may refuse help but not because, as darkstalker shows, i fucking revel in being able to go behind others backs to hurt people and feel control. There are many complicated reasons but comparing wanting to rule a continent and in that rule exterminate hundreds who act out of line to having depression is insanely out of line

“Not all writers have the financial ability to hire humans to help at certain points-” give me a break with that bullshit!

If you think me or my friends can afford to literally pay a beta reader, let alone a whole team of them, I’d wager you probably don’t understand what writing communities are about, or what they can be.

(I made friends and beta read their shit for free, and they for my shit too, and it’s a labor of love and yeah, it takes some time, but it is more than enough because that’s what friendship and reciprocity and community is about)

(And don’t even get me started on that ableism claim, as most writers I know have some sort of neurodivergence going on (autism, ADHD, etc), and that has never stopped them from writing beautiful stories just using their own melon and their imagination, without having to resort to the GENERATIVE PLAGIARISM MACHINE 5000)

Ok, rant over. Idk what came over me, but I meant what I said.

Nanowrimo supports AI.

Zendesk post titled ‘What is NaNoWriMo's position on Artificial Intelligence (AI)?’

Besides there being no mention of scraping or of stolen material, or even any idea of they’re talking about generative AI or older proofreaders, this statement is horribly classist and ableist in itself, essentially implying that lower class and/or disabled writers need to use AI to make their works ‘suitable’ for the upper class market.

If I could get a little personal, that is so fucking stupid. I’m disabled, I’m relatively new to writing, and my work is rough as fuck around the edges. Disabled people can write. We don’t need AI to do it for us, even if it was completely 100% ethical, which it really is not.

So yeah. Nano is pro AI, if you want another reason to hate them.

Autism and Structure/Certainty

You hear a lot about how people with ASD need structure and routine, and can’t handle changes. I always thought this didn’t apply to me. I can’t imagine doing the same thing every day and not getting bored. I don’t have to plan out every second of my day; I usually just see what I feel like doing when my free time actually rolls around. I thought maybe my ADHD just cancelled out that ASD trait, or that I was just less autistic than I thought.

But the problem is actually with the words we use to describe it, with how the idea is so poorly understood.

My psychologist introduced me to a different, more appropriate word today. Its not about ROUTINE, its about CERTAINTY. Its why I can move an appointment to a different day and it doesn’t stress me out: I’m still walking through the same door, still getting there the same way, its still about the same topic. In other words, I still know exactly what to expect. But seemingly little changes, like when my cooking group changed from having all the participants come grocery shopping to having only one participant come, can completely throw me off. I no longer know what time I need to arrive, whether I will be coming to pick up the other participants, etc. It made me so anxious that I didn’t even want to go to the group any more, and I wouldn’t have gone if we didn’t change things a little more, so that I could be picked up with the other participants instead of driving myself there. That way, I knew exactly when I would be picked up, and I knew I would be dropped at the building with everyone else while the groceries were being bought. I had certainty. 

Anyway, I just think its really interesting how poorly understood a lot of aspects of ASD can be, even by “experts” and people that have it. I’m sure there are some autistics out there who may become really anxious without a really strict routine, but I’d wager for most of us, it shows up like this. And really, even if you do need a strict routine, that’s about certainty, too. It would be really cool if we could change the language around this a little, so that other autistics can use this knowledge to their advantage.

Is Alice Jones Autistic?

I’m not entirely sure where the autistic!alice headcanon originated. It might have been from an Autistic Headcanons blog or it might just be from the observations of individuals.

I can’t speak for everyone because my main reason for believing she’s autistic is that I’m autistic and I relate to a lot of her traits. Now, some of those traits could be explained by her being forced to grow up in isolation or even by a mental illness (I do see her as having co-morbid mental illness(es)) and some of these traits are headcanons themselves, so it really just depends on how you see her.

I’ll list some of the things that lead me to believe she’s autistic and not all of these apply to every autistic person:

Has a possible special interest in painting/drawing, chess and maybe even parkour. Take for example in 7x13 when she needs to play chess to help her relax. She likely wanted to play chess a lot more than Rogers could keep up with and I bet she talks about it and art a lot.

She can talk in a very abstract way. It’s a way that makes sense to her but not necessarily to anyone else and I don’t just mean when she’s talking about the curse. It’s the way she talks about the curse: “See something? I see everything. Now I’m ten feet tall!” “There’s still time before the pills make me small again.” (I know it’s an Alice in Wonderland reference but say, in her cursed memories someone read the book to her, this could be echolalia). And I’d be willing to wager she makes up her own words.

She thinks outside the box. Like myself, she seems to have trouble thinking inside the box and doesn’t so easily conform to societal norms: “What’s the point of a solvable one (puzzle)” and she made a heart-shaped beignets that was literally heart-shaped. She also seems to have difficulty telling that some things are wrong (not that all autistics do this, but it can be an issue): “Weaver said it was for the best, and I can’t always figure that out for myself.”

Her father brings her things that could be seen as sensory aids (I know this was to help her experience the outside world but it’s an additional way of looking at it.)

Doesn’t have a great sense of danger. I know she’s got some mad skills, but still she doesn’t hesitate to jump out of the window of a goodness how many stories-high building. She’ll happily fight a jabberwocky, befriend a troll (that, at the time, she didn’t know was of her own creation) and defend said troll in front of angry dudes with weapons and she rolled out of a freaking moving car. She also walked across the road without looking in 7x14 (#relatable). That incident could have even been chalked down to her not being a good judge of distance or to her being over-stimulated by the traffic. When you get overstimulated your whole sense of exactly where everything is around you just goes out the window. It’s probably not the only time that’s happened. God knows how much trouble she got herself into in Wonderland and the other places.

Has a connection to creatures and and an attachment to objects like Mr. Rabbit and she even slept next to the viles of sand her father got her. It’s understandable that she would be attached to the inanimate objects that were her only company for years, whether she’s autistic or not. She seems to relate more to creatures, such as the troll and maybe even some creatures in wonderland (goodness knows if she was out-running the bandersnatch for fun or what).

Doesn’t like to sit still for long. Sometimes seen stimming with things in her hands.

Seems to be fairly selective with what she eats. Eating the same thing everyday is not an uncommon autistic trait (I literally have beans for breakfast, lunch and dinner) and it seems that marmalade sandwhiches are the thing for Tilly. It could be a sensory issue. She seems to have a preference for sweet food as salty food might be too strong for her or it could just be because we love routine. It brings a sense of much needed security in an otherwise over-stimulating world.

Likes routine. I’m sure her father liked to make sure they had a routine in the tower but as Tilly she seems to have her routine of going to the troll, playing chess with Rogers, talking to Weaver and eating marmalade sandwhiches. She doesn’t seem to be completely averse to spontaneity however, since she was willing to go to Wonderland and other places but then and again, she was desperate to find a cure.

Is more vulnerable to manipulation. Listen, I love Alice & Rumple’s frienship as much as the next guy but you can’t deny that he was manipulating her at first in 7x18. It seems she doesn’t have a brilliant sense for figuring out the intentions of others. The same goes for when Weaver tricked her into eating the pill-sandwhich.

Has what can be seen as autistic meltdowns. This is a difficult one to assess because her sometimes erratic behaviour is likely due to a mental illness but there are many co-morbid conditions that can come with autism. But if we are to look at her outbursts as meltdowns, then we can see that they are triggered by things not goin the way Alice expected. If an autistic person has pre-planned their day then any disruption to that can cause a meltdown or shutdown i.e. Rogers saying no to the game of chess, Rogers and Weaver not listening to her pleas for them not to talk to Eloise coming as a shock, Weaver giving her her meds and not remembering his life in the EF and the incident at the hospital. Nothing was going as Tilly expected and there was no way for her to fix it. She tried to calm herself down by pacing or swaying slightly from side-to-side. It could have all been further exacerbated by the bright lights and in some cases loud noises of the traffic/the hospital lights/the light in her shipping container. Her outbursts were completely out of her control. I’m sure she would have never pointed a scalple at Rogers and Weaver if she weren’t in that state. The fact that she didn’t remember how she got to the hospital could be because of her meltdown, often after or during one you don’t know what’s going on, what you’re doing or why your doing it. This could also explain why she loses time like she explains in 7x14. This could also be partly down to the fact that she might have poor short-term memory which is common in autistic people.

Could the fact that the curse couldn’t completely erase her memories be due to her having a very strong, photographic long-term memory? Just a theory!

Seems to prefer to socialise in small groups (this could be due to circumstance).

Is seen as ‘weird’, ‘eccentric’ or ‘odd’ by others who don’t understand her way of engaging with the world.

Sometimes repeats phrases “Something’s bad, something’s broken, something’s wrong.”

Has difficulty with conflicts, arguments and being yelled at.

Sees the world in a special way according to her father so it’s likely she’s not like other people he’s been around.

Is okay being around other people but may 'play’ on her own e.g. when she was in Rogers’ car with the mushrooms. She was content to be around him while doing her own thing.

In some situations she may be masking e.g. at first with Margot, so that she could pass for allistic.

Can sometimes get her words confused: “You know me better than anyone. I can't have done it, could I? Or I could've done it, can't I?”

Difficulties communicating her thoughts and feelings, in words, to others, especially if anxious, stressed or upset, hense part of the reason she ends up having an meltdown.  

I personally think she’s undersensitive to movement and touch so she might have issues with personal space and it could be why she isn’t often still and moves around alot.

May have issues with executive funtion e.g. time management, orgazisational skills, inhibitions, working memory and problem solving which she may have been helped with by Rogers once she moved in. It makes your mind a freaking jumble so I wouldn’t be suprised if she has issues with this.

Seems to have some trouble in social situations. This could be due to all those years in isolation but there are definitely times where she will just speak her mind or do things that might be seen as socially inappropriate e.g. the situation with the troll, her just popping up in Victoria’s car and scaring the shiitake musrooms out of her. She sometimes seems a bit confused by what other people are saying e.g. the whole “Targot” thing and others seem confused by her.

I could honestly go on about this for days. Like, there’s so much more I could talk about. I might make another post expanding on this, but this is just my perspective! As I say, a lot of this could be down to her years alone in the tower or a mental illness but this is just one way of looking at her traits!

New Year’s Mini-Review Pack 2019

Another year is over and I want to make the mini-review pack from last year a yearly tradition to announce it.

Sometimes I watch shows that I have something to say about, but I don't feel like writing a real review of them.  Here are the five I want to highlight this year.

Happy New Year, nerds!

-----

1. Food Wars (2015)

Episodes watched: 7

Platform: Hulu

Souma is in the family diner business, trained by his father on expert renditions of “low-class” foods.  He expects to continue in the family business, and even rescues the diner (via cooking, naturally) from sabotage by a developer trying to pressure his father into selling the building so it can be replaced with high-rise apartments.  But despite that, his father shuts down the restaurant “for a few years” to go abroad and sends Souma to a fancy boarding school for aspiring chefs.  The school is sprawling and eclectic in a way only anime boarding schools can be.  And, like any self-respecting anime boarding school, it naturally has three things: an absolutely nonsensical student government, an extraordinary level of old-school elitism, and most importantly, duels.  Disputes can be settled through challenges of head-to-head Iron Chef-style cooking, with wagers riding on them ranging from "you have to join this club if you lose" to "you're expelled if you lose".  As far as I’ve watched so far, there are a few episodes focused on setting up the premise and main characters and a few focused on these competitions between students.  Although the latter concept can be tedious because I’m not much of a tournament show person, it is nevertheless fun because this show commits to its absurdity.

Classic W/A/S: 6 / 7 / 3

Weeb: Ludicrous school setups!  The main character progressing through a series of duels!  Tentacles!  In-depth descriptions of Japanese food!  It's not the kind of weeb that makes it incomprehensible to those not familiar with the tropes, but it's certainly very Japanese.

Ass: This show has been described to me by several people as "literal food porn", and... yeah.  The cold open scene to the first episode contains... uh... basically tentacle porn.  I'm sorry.  The feelings of characters' pleasure (or revulsion) in food is depicted metaphorically and absolutely over-the-top, often with the pleasure of delicious food being heavily sexualized.  And there's plenty of sexualization of both male and female characters even outside of these scenes, although it never crosses the line into full nudity.

Shit: Very well-drawn!  The food is particularly gorgeous, as you'd expect, but the other imagery is creative, and the melodramatic writing and music are not bad, even fitting for so outlandish and cheesy a concept.

PS: I haven’t actually tried making it... yet... but the gag dish introduced in ep. 1, grilled squid with peanut butter, sounds good to me, despite the negative results you can easily find... and others seem to agree, since the concept predates the show.  Just make a peanut-butter-based-sauce rather than just using peanut butter and it should be fine.

2. Hinamatsuri (2018)

Episodes watched: 12

Platform: Crunchyroll

Hina, a time-traveling middle-school-aged psychic, arrives in our time, in the apartment of a very confused yakuza operative, Nitta Yoshifumi, who takes her in.  Shenanigans ensue, mostly centering around hilarious misunderstandings and the dubious life lessons Yoshifumi and other mobsters impart.  Mostly, the comedy and story are propelled by Hina and two other girls we meet early on: another time-traveler, Anzu, who is sent to retrieve her, fails, and gets stuck in our time, and Hitomi, whom Hina meets as a classmate when Yoshifumi enrolls Hina in school under the name Nitta Hina (claiming she is his daughter), and who gets intimidated into taking an after-school job as a bartender that she struggles to keep secret. The show's format is two segments per episode focusing on different slice of life-ish stories (though with solid continuity and more ongoing plot than you might expect for that characterization), and is usually comedic but also veers into drama and incredible sweetness.  Hina is deadpan, bad at conversation, and unable to unable to understand the context or motives of what others are saying, in a way that honestly almost makes me think autism(?), but I'm guessing is probably supposed to just be "she was raised in the creepy time travel organization and they didn't train her to socialize".  Anzu is a different outcome of the same deprivation: after not returning Hina to their own time, she moves into a homeless camp and quickly takes in the life lessons of the residents, becoming earnest, helpful, and incredibly resistant to spending money, but completely baffled and amazed at how our world works.  Hitomi, the only "normal" one, is just... the best.  The episode about her first becoming a bartender felt like a backdoor pilot, and if it were I would absolutely watch that spinoff.  The first segment of ep. 10, also starring Hitomi, is the funniest "compounding misunderstandings"-style comedy I've seen in a while... and I'm a big Arrested Development fan, so that means something.

Classic W/A/S: 3 / 2 / 3

Weeb: There are some distinctly Japanese traditions depicted, but most elements of the show could be moved to a different setting and "reskinned" for different cultures' organized crime, foods, shopping options, homeless camps, etc., without sacrificing any of the plot or comedy.  Mostly, its distinctly Japanese features are that it relies on imagery and exaggerations that absolutely scream "comedy anime".

Ass: Sexual humor and references, occasionally, but not going to far. Recurring nudity, but not full and not for fanservice.  Actually, it seems as if they've taken a cue from Terminator and assumed that, for whatever reason, you have to time-travel naked.

Shit: This show is practically made of reaction images.  Although it's not the best animated, it's very consistent, clean, and expressive.  They do well with how they did it.  The show practically demands a second season in its last episode, and I think it could make it all the way down to a score of 2 or even 1 on here if they do so and upgrade the animation a bit.  The characters are distinctly and pleasantly designed and rarely does a scene go by that isn't hilarious not because of some kind of rapid-fire jokes thing but because each segment is set up so well and characters play off each other.  Hina's lack of affect gets a little tiresome, but the other characters are great, and usually get a large chunk of an episode's screentime.

3. Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?  Arrow of the Orion (2019)

Episodes watched: n.a. — movie

Platform: in theater

Picking up sometime between the first and second seasons of the main series of Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon (or Danmachi for short, derived from the Japanese title), this follows the main cast of Bell Cranel and his ragtag dungeon-crawling party on a new quest. Artemis, Greek goddess of chastity and hunting, is in search, via Hermes, of an adventurer who can wield "the Orion" (a drastically OP spear with the power to kill gods themselves) to destroy Antares, a monster who keeps wiping out adventuring parties and has become a threat to the entire world because [spoiler].  A love... square... ensues between Bell, Hestia, Lili, and Artemis, and other various shenanigans happen that will make much more sense if you've seen the main show and its companion/spinoff, Sword Oratoria. I personally didn't find the affection between Bell and Artemis particularly believable, and I didn't expect the ending to go quite the way it did, but I try not to complain about a story not being the story I wanted it to be.  Watch it if you're already a Danmachi fan or really really like weird takes on classical mythology.  Skip if not.

Classic W/A/S: 3 / 4 / 4

Weeb: Prior knowledge of Danmachi helps immensely, but is not strictly required as there is a and although the show is another "what if we just mix a bunch of mythologies together?" and "what if a real world functioned on RPG logic?" premise, it does occasionally have an idea thrown in that will be foreign to much of the American audience (even if not distinctly Japanese), such as the Buddhist idea of gods themselves being reincarnated (something that also came up in Noragami).

Ass: As the after-credits interview feature says, they wondered whether or not they should keep -sigh- the panty shot.  And they went with "yes".  Also, peeping on women bathing has, unfortunately, become a running joke whenever Hermes appears in Danmachi, so be prepared for that.  Without giving spoilers, though, let me just say I hope not all of the nudity comes off as sexual.

Shit: The monsters are hit-or-miss CGI, sometimes blending with the 2D animation of the rest, sometimes looking so jarring it's actually funny. The 2D art is usually beautiful, though, and as much as I love the show, this is definitely an art upgrade overall.  The plot has a few dumb elements, honestly, or at least not well-enough-developed ones, that make me wonder if it could have worked better as a story arc in the show itself (actually developing a relationship between Artemis and Bell).  The score is a mix of reused tracks from the show plus some new stuff that sounds pretty Jurassic Park-era John Williams to me.  A few subtitle choices are noticeably different from the show, but not consequential to understanding things.  There were a lot of ugly audio glitches, especially early on, but I hope that's a problem with the equipment at the theater I went to and not the editing of the movie.

4. Supernatural the Animation (2011)

Episodes watched: 1.

Platform: Hulu.

This show follows Sam and Dean Winchester, who -- yup, you're on the right blog, and yup, that's "Supernatural" as in the long-running American live action series.  For those not familiar, the original is a sprawling drama set in basically "our world except all mythologies and folklores are true", and follows the aforementioned Winchester brothers, who hunt monsters in situations that range from their straightforward monster-of-the-week investigations to meta-humor to multi-season story arcs involving multiple trips to Hell itself.  My wife is a huge fan, so I've seen a lot of episodes just incidentally, and enjoyed some of them, but haven't really followed the show.  She assures me, though, that this anime adaptation is loosely based on the first two seasons.  So loosely that at first she thought it was some sort of interquel or sidestory.  The first episode comes off feeling like you're supposed to already be familiar with the main characters -- that they're brothers, that they're monster hunters, why they're looking for their missing father -- because not much actually gets explained.  It’s unremarkable and badly-executed and ugh.

Classic W/A/S: 3 / 1? / 7

Weeb: Although the source material is American (and further back, European and Middle Eastern, given the influence of European folklore traditions and the Abrahamic religions on the choice and depiction of monsters), it's presented in a very Japanese style. This is especially true in reworking the original's horror tendencies -- the blood splatter from offscreen and the writhing, lurching body horror that is the shapeshifter seem much more like what little I've seen of Japanese horror than American.

Ass: I forgot to write anything for this immediately after I watched it and I don't care enough to go back and check but I don't remember anything that would fall under the headings of fanservice or general nudity.

Shit: Variable.  There are occasional moments of bad CG, occasional low-frame-rate weirdness, and disjointed storytelling compared to what I've seen of the original.  The art style is pretty interesting, though, because it's not something you see animated much -- its angular faces and stark shadows remind me of the darker end of American superhero comics.  Although it's certainly not the technically worst show I've reviewed in either story or art, I find it extremely unpleasant and do not want to continue past one episode.  If you feel like doing so, feel free to tell me if it gets any better.

Content: Violence and horror imagery is somehow both less extreme and more successfully unsettling (at least to me) than those in the original live-action show.

Moment of Inertia, Issue #10 | A Tough Sell

Even when we've learned everything there is to know, many of us are convinced there's more we're not seeing. It's perhaps the most dangerous quality of modern society. 

———

A Tough Sell 

The notionofFake News has gotten a lotofattention the past few years, as well it should. There are good sourcesofinformation and there are bad and biased sourcesofinformation, and we should always try to check our confirmation biases and normalize the data we're given (these concepts are kindofa recurring thing here, in case you haven't noticed). However, there's a phenomenon that has been a sourceofmisinformation and confusion for even longer than the deliberate creationoffalse information. In fact, it's my hypothesis that this phenomenon is in large part responsible for the waveoffake news that is currently running rampant around the world. I call this phenomenon the "what are you trying to sell me?"effect (if you come up with a better name, or if there's already a name for this, please let me know). In this phenomenon, someone is told factual information, believes it, but is also suspiciousofthe person telling them - and that person's motives - because they are suspiciousofadditional factual information being withheld. I've found this phenomenon to be more insidious than outright acceptanceoffake news because it's foundations are rooted in factual information - the recipientsofthat factual information, though, are just convinced that there's more information they're not being told. For better or worse, my timing here is a bit fortuitous becausethe idea that there's more to the news than what we're hearing is back at the forefrontofdaily discussion. It's a much more persistent problem, though, in the sciences where, for some reason, people are convinced that a groupofpeople who constantly share information (to a fault at times) are not telling society at large certain key piecesofinformation. Whether it's a clinical trial that proves vaccines don't cause autism or a reviewofa key ingredient in a moisturizer, people are convinced there's something they're not being told. (Granted, not everyone feels this way, but I'd wager it's a larger portionofthe population than the portion that believes fake news.) All this really is, though, is an exercise in anti-intellectual posturing conducted by a groupofpeople who don't want to make the effort to consult multiple sourcesofinformation. If you think a scientific report (or any other report) is delivering incomplete information, then do what all the scientists and domain experts do and check other sources that cover the same topic. (And yes, I'm also saying that any "domain expert" that doesn't do this is undeservingofthe title.) By all means, question your sources and the information you're told, but don't do it from your armchair (unlessofcourse you're diligently browsing the internet on a laptop). An informed dialog is only possible when we're all informed, though, so go out, talk to people, read peer-reviewed papers (whenever possible), and use your own best judgement (I trust you all... mostly). Patterns will emerge and, more often than not, those patterns outline the truth. Sometimes the truth isn't particularly exciting. It doesn't mean there's anything more to the story, and that's okay. Isn't there enough excitement in the world already?

This is just based on my observations and is no way a professional opinion. But based on some of Cin's behaviours, does Cin have high functioning autism? I have no problem whatsoever if she is. I'm just curious. Sorry if I offend you in any way.

((Okay, first off, I knew something like this was bound to happen. Second, I actually had to look this up. No, Cin does not have high functioning autism. I‘ve always pegged her to be an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person). Which is something my Mother and I have. This is something you can be diagnosed with, but, very few people have this. There are even a few therapists who are specialists in this area.

My Mother told me when she was a kid people treated her like she had autism or something along those lines and that really hurt her. Same thing happened to me growing up as well. I can’t even begin to explain how much that hurt and pissed me off.

I’m not going to make this official, but, I would wager to say Cinnamon could be an HSP.))
