in your most recent tyson post, you said something about leo being distinctly autistic-coded and I was wondering if you could elaborate on that? it sounds really interesting (sorry if you've already posted something on this, I couldn't find anything though)

Of course! I do have a specific tag for talking about Leo's autistic-coding/traits - [here], and [one for Nico as well].

The main aspects with Leo being autistic-coded actually have a lot to do with Nico being autistic-coded, because it's the comparisons between the two that most clearly indicate Leo is autistic-coded rather than it just being his ADHD or etc.

So with Nico being autistic-coded, it's very clear in the Titan's Curse that he's intended to be autistic. First, the first series has a repeating pattern of secondary characters being very distinctly neurodivergent-coded in different ways (Annabeth's adhd/dyslexia, Tyson's down syndrome-coding, Nico's autism-coding). With Nico's introduction, he's pretty stereotypically autistic and we're given a lot of descriptors about him that are notably not attributed to him being ADHD, like it would be for other demigod characters. He doesn't register social cues such as people getting annoyed at him, he's asking/making inappropriate or impolite questions/comments, he gets particularly upset about change (such as Bianca joining the Hunt) and generally gets emotional, and one of his most notable traits he's introduced with is the fact that he has a special interest (MythoMagic) - and we're shown that this special interest particularly colors how Nico navigates the world. While ADHD has hyperfixations, we don't really get much acknowledgement of hyperfixations with demigods usually - Annabeth gets a little, but most others don't and it's not nearly as focused-in on as Nico's is.

Then as the series continues we see these traits stick with him and him start to show or voice more traits that similarly indicate he's autistic: He regularly mentions how he doesn't understand living people and prefers the company of the dead (social issues). He has more notable stims than other demigods (twisting his ring, fiddling with bones, etc). He's indicated to have strong sensory preferences (usually wearing mostly black/aversion to bright colors, usually wearing layers/his coat, multiple times he's described as wearing loose/baggy clothing or clothes too big for him). He has specific comfort items (his ring, likely his jacket(s) as well). We later get even more information about his special interests (Mythomagic/mythology/history and an older interest in pirates - the latter he specifically notes likely heavily influenced his feelings towards Percy). He struggles with emotions and facial expressions and tone. He struggles particularly with ostracism and feeling like he doesn't fit in and has something distinctly different about him from the people around him (who notably, all have ADHD, which indicates it isn't the ADHD that's making him feel that way), and other characters regularly describe him as being off-putting because of his strange behaviors - again, different from specific ADHD traits they recognize. And that last point is kind of notable because we have Hazel and Bianca for comparison - we know people are off-put by both Nico and Hazel because of being children of Hades/Pluto and their powers/aura, but other characters get past that general feeling of discomfort way faster with Hazel. And even after characters get past the death stuff with Nico, there's a second thing that they aren't moving past that isn't a factor with Hazel (Nico's autism).

So that brings us to Leo - Leo is paralleled to Nico a lot. And there's some very specific traits about him that we know are autistic-coding because of how they're used with Nico: He similarly struggles with social cues/etc, and in a very similar parallel to Nico describes how he prefers the company of machines to people because machines make more sense to him. He has similar types of clothing/sensory preferences (again some stuff with layers but also - pockets! He likes having pockets and things to put stuff in! He's even introduced as having a jacket with lots of pockets), and he has a distinct special interest (machinery) that we specifically know heavily influences how he views and navigates the world (constantly comparing things to machinery, describing things with machinery metaphors/terminology, etc etc). He even describes his entire general worldview to Hazel and it's a machine metaphor. He also similarly struggles with ostracization like Nico does, the only difference being that Leo specifically puts on a persona to compensate for areas he knows he's lacking in and very explicitly describes it as a means to make people like him, because without it he normally struggles to fit in (He's masking!). We also see notes of characters describing that similar discomfort with Leo's behaviors that they do with Nico, except without the aura of death this time. And when we're in Leo's POVs we see a very stark difference between his masking and his actual personality/behaviors such as his internal dialogues or how he behaves when he's alone. Also, like Nico, he stims more than other demigods, though for Leo it's more attributed to his ADHD. Leo also, more often than most, similarly struggles with tone and reading the room, such as making misplaced jokes/comments or etc.

But yeah! It's really interesting. Also it's just a fun thing that ADHD/dyslexia and autism have comorbidity, so it makes sense that we see demigods who are also autistic. It's also really fun to look at how other characters are coded in the series, what coding looks like in the riordanverse specifically (usually it's tied into the mythological stuff - like Chiron being in a wheelchair but he's actually a centaur, Grover being introduced as having a muscular disease but he's actually a satyr, demigods having adhd/dyslexia, Tyson being coded as having down syndrome but he's a cyclops, etc etc - it's a lot of specific metaphor stuff that I've talked about a bit before), and to look at how characters are compared to one another.

“Shadow, stop staring at him. It’s not polite,” Maria commented as she sipped her tea.

Shadow death glare recipient quietly chuckled as he also took a sip of his drink.

“Sorry about him, Chris,” Maria continued, “Grandfather said I needed a chaperone if wanted to go out, and well you know. But I really wanted to get up on that coffee catch up you had offered.”

“It’s really alright. The more the merrier am I right,” Chris tried to lightened the situation.

“I thought you said we were going skating.” Sonic complained in the seat next to Chris, as he played with his onion rings.

“Sonic, you said let’s go skating and followed me here,” Chris complained, “Where did you get onion rings? This is a coffee shop.”

“I had them with me.”

Maria muffled a laugh, while Shadow’s death glare turned to the blue devil himself. “You’re a disgrace.”

“Oh so you finally have a voice.” Sonic menaced with an onion ring to Shadow, “My man here needed a wingman and I’m being supportive.”

“Wingman?” Maria questioned, “What’s that?”

“Nothing really,” Chris commented, “Sonic shut up!”

Maria pulled out her phone and googled it. She blushed. “Is this a date?”

“Yes.” Sonic confirmed.

“No” Shadow retorted, “As if she’d go out with the likes of you.”

“What’s not to like. He’s rich.”

“Hey!” Chris exclaimed.

“Did I mention he’s also somewhat of a scientist and an actor and a model and he’s rich.”

“I think that’s enough Sonic.”

“And he’s totally in lo-“

Chris throw a glass of water on Sonic face.

“Hehe. Sorry about that.” Chris commented, “You know how he can get.”

“Shadow can you take Sonic to get dried up.” Maria asked.

“What why? “ Shadow complained.

“Please.” She said with her big blue eyes, “I’ll be okay I promise.”

“Fine,” Shadow stood up and dragged the wet hedgehog away from the couple.

And so left the two teens in a coffee shop. “I’d love it if you’d take me on a proper date. Without meddling hedgehogs roaming around.”

“You know I can’t really promise that. Your body guard is always at arms reach.”

“And your wingman is everywhere at all time.” She responded with a small smile.

“They really are the weirdest aren’t they?”

“Weirdest? No. I’ve meet Shadow’s dad.”

“Shadow has a dad? Other than your Professor Robotnik”

“It’s classified.”

“Of course.”

“I have given you three minutes.” Shadow states as he and Sonic now stand at the end of the table.

“Well, that’s my queue. It was great catching up l with you Chris. Let me know if you’d like to this again, okay.”

“Yeah, sure. It was great seeing you too,” Chris smiled, as Shadow escorted Maria out.

“So did I help or not?” Sonic asked, “Shadow almost dunked my head in the toilet so I hope it was worth it.”

“Totally was.”

A, D, E for jimothy please? 🥺💕

Prompts from this dirty ask game, and since I am not able to make a story canonically accurate to time period or the location of The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond (plus I grew up in the South *gag* and don't want to relive it), this is for the Common Education, a modern AU, where Jimmy is finally taking advantage of his scholarship to NYU (not Ole Miss b/c *more gagging* sorry).

These asks do contain explicit description, so MINORS DNI.

A - Alone Time

I don't even care if this is a spoiler, but you catch him masturbating once, before you two ever even admit feelings for each other.

Jimmy's roommate, Steve, is an art history major taking several of your classes. Since Steve is sickly, you were kind enough to set up a video feed of your lectures, and Steve often plays them whenever he's feeling up to studying/reviewing. Jimmy is very used to hearing your voice come from the adjoining room of his dorm suite.

What he doesn't realize, as he's daydreaming about you laid out on one of those flimsy tables on the lecture hall platform, is you are actually visiting your student to see how Steve is doing. Jimmy isn't listening to the exact conversation; he's just thinking about you muttering quietly as he runs his hands over you.

And then Jimmy 'imagines' you saying his name, chanting it really, loudly because his touch feels so good, and he reaches his end with an "'m coming' out loud.

Which made you--who was actually knocking to say a quick hello to your former student--think it's okay to open the door, and he scrambles to cover himself in bed, mid-orgasm.

🥴 so get excited for that tale...

At the general store he took over from his drunk father back home, he only needed a computer that could calculate finances and contact suppliers, do some inventory tracking, etc. He didn't need a fancy laptop and he didn't need it at home, so Jimmy has never bothered much with porn. He had some casual girlfriends over the years, and Jimmy is...pretty good-looking. He never hurt for company.

Working 16 hour days regularly also left very little time to care about anything other than sleep.

D - Dominance

Jimmy might not be forward, but, yes, he is dominant. The largest population in his hometown was farm animals, and his own parents were a terrible example of a relationship. We are lucky he knows not to just mount someone he likes and stuff his dick in.

Jimmy was one of those men who didn't understand female pleasure until a knock-down, drag-out, drunk screaming fight with his ex at a bar. To be fair, how would he know he hadn't made her come if she faked it every time?

Anyway, he's dominant in the way that he's pretty raunchy in bed. He praises and coaches you as much as he orchestrates your position. He also does all this with respectful vocabulary but in an extremely dirty voice.

It's, uh... It's good. It's real good.

E - Extra Info

He has smoked for so long he has an oral fixation. Enjoys using his mouth on you very much. If he weren't quite vanilla in his sexual tastes, he'd probably realize there's a reason he loves you in a choker necklace. Just saying. Oh! And Jimmy go nuts over dainty, feminine things you wear. Lace panties are kinda his pinnacle of 'needs to fuck now' if he sees you wearing them.

He's never admitted to another living soul that he's had a fantasy about being cockwarmed while he stands behind the store cash register. Also, last but not least, Jimmy gets way more aggressively naughty during sex the fancier/nicer yours/his clothes are. I don't have an explanation for that, but I know it's a fact. So there. 😁

Thank you for asking!

Genuine question: the “real” Marauders were in the cloning tubes the whole time? The Mutant Massacre Marauders were already clones?

Hello?

[marshmellowtea]

every time i rewatch the pilot (not the pilot) i find new details about it to be actively insane about. what if chris cast vanessa as camille despite her not being good at foreign languages because he wanted to spare her from a role where she'd have one on one scenes with his father

[fourayedasshole]

Spoilers for like everything

Bree and Conner both are part fairy…. I’m horrible at whatever it’s called genetic….. stuff anyways.

It would be possible if they had a child with magical abilities fully… let me explain.

The both carry the magic gene (I’m tryna go off stuff I learned 2 years ago so correct me if I’m incorrect) it would be possible since they are direct descendants of magical. Thus at least one of there kids being fully fairy.

Does this make sense?? CHRIS SHOULD Have WENT OFF WITH THIS!. As much as I love the atom plot it had to many holes like why was the past more advanced then the future… so swap it with Conner grandchild or something. With the issues coming back like the dragons or immortal.The whole demon king and give it to a new character who would have been the demon born among mankind. The 333 could have been a threat to magic still and be a bigger threat if magic was in its prime…

Holy I got side tracked
