Pov, you're a Dock Town citizen and you need a mystery solved, so naturally, you hire Neve Gallus. She shows up with this idiot who won't stop cracking jokes, and who seems to only be there for moral support. There's obviously something going on between them. They bicker playfully like an old married couple. They finish each other's sentences. Maybe a woman who you know used to be a templar shows up and tries desperately to be the voice of reason, but she just ends up getting dragged into the bickering as well. Their investigative methods seem chaotic at best. You wonder if you've made a huge mistake. Then, they somehow solve the case in five minutes.

Hey, isn’t it fun how Agatha All Along gives away its biggest twist (that the Road never existed, that it was entirely a fabrication of Agatha’s from the jump) in its title? I just think that’s neat. Here’s an entire story built around the idea that we have to walk the Road. It’s not real, btw. It was Agatha all along.

From the comics we know Logan knows at least 10 languages and is fluent in like 6 of them. So, for future movies give me Logan who can hold a conversation with Kurt in geman! Give me Logan who makes an effort to speak Spanish with Laura! Give me Logan who appreciates different cultures and who knows japanese and Japanese etiquette! Give me Logan who can imitate a british accent to disguise his true heritage and surprises both Charles and Erik! Give me Logan who knows French and translates what Gambit says to Wade!

okay being real with you guys though. i am Completely Serious when i say the easiest way to secure other people's loyalty and support and admiration and whatnot is by being nice. this is the autism website so i'm trying to express this for people who aren't sure how to make friends or how to make people like them.

the easiest way to be liked and to get a small army under your command is by being kind. a lot of people think you have to be funny or talented or smart or clever or special to be liked.

You Do Not.

you literally only have to be friendly enough and kind enough that other people feel at ease around you. complimenting people, thanking people, asking people questions, acting interested in their answers, making casual small talk: these are the weapons in your arsenal.

if you are seen as someone who's kind and someone who's good at heart then other people will be willing to go to bat for you. and if that doesn't come naturally you can just study how other people do it and imitate them.

Just Be Nice. The Results May Surprise You!

one of the things about having an unstable parent is that it can so easily ruin your future. you want to get out, but getting out takes having agency. it takes the resume and the grades and the stellar community service history.

but you have to choose your battles. you know if you sign up for an after-school activity, it'll be okay for a while, so long as the activity is parent-approved and god-fearing. over time, like all things, it will become an argument (i can't keep carting your ass to these things) or a weapon (talk to me like that again, see if you get to go to practice). sometimes, if you love the thing, it's worth it. but you also know better than to love something: that's how they get you. if you ever actually want something, it will always be the center of their attention. they will never stop threatening you with it. telling you of course i'm a good parent, i came to all of those stupid events.

you learn to balance yourself perfectly. you can either have a social life or you can have hobbies. both of these things will be under constant scrutiny. you spend too much time with her, you should be at home with family is equally paired with you're acting like this because you're addicted to what's on that goddamn screen. you cannot ever actually win, so everything falls within a barter system that you calculate before entering: do you want to learn how to drive? if so, you'll need to give up asking for a new laptop, even though yours died. maybe you can work on a computer at the library. of course, that would mean you'd be allowed to go to the library, which would mean something else has to bleed. nothing ever actually comes free.

and that bitter, horrible irony: you could be literally following their orders and it still isn't pretty. they tell you to get a job; they hate that your job keeps you late and gives you access to actual money. they tell you to do better in school; they say no child of mine needs a tutor. they want you to stop being so morose, don't you know there are people who are really suffering - but they revile the idea you might actually need therapy.

you didn't survive that fall the way other people would. you've seen other people scramble and get their way out, however they could. maybe you were made too-soft: the answer didn't come to you easily. it wasn't quick. it was brutal and nasty. some people even asked you why didn't you just work hard and escape during school? and you felt your head spinning. why didn't you? (they control your financial aid. they control your loan status. they love having that kind of thing). maybe in another life you got diagnosed sooner and got the meds you needed to actually focus and got attention from the right teachers who helped you clear hurdles to get up out of here - but for now? here?

the effort of trying. the effort of not-dying. that kind of effort was absolutely agonizing.

it really is tragic that jack got regulated to the "naive baby" corner when he's easily one of the most interesting characters on supernatural
