#THE AUTISM HAS BEEN UNLOCKED

[imagibunny]

ok ko was mentioned so legally i have to spread propaganda JUST because i love it so damn much (ok ko mutuals this one is also for u god bless)

ANYWAYS

literally the show is a love letter to 80s/90s tropes and anime, with the main character ko being a 6-11 year old boy (literally his canon age) who wants to be a hero, and the setting just. being FILLED with people with super powers (ranging from goofy stuff like coltwort the broccoli's anxious sweat mist to our LEGEND carol who can copy any power she sees. and also lazerblast and his ability to drain energy but yknowwwww)

it starts off as a slice of life type beat, with it being episodic with a couple of plot heavy episodes (commonly involving either the super hero team P.O.I.N.T or ko's shadow self tko), but an actual plot comes into play in seasons 2-3. not to spoil anything but *commits various war crimes* /pos

ALSO JUST. A WARNING IF YOU PLAN ON CHECKING IT OUT.

it seems rushed in season 3 because it was. cartoon network (derogatory) canned the show and shorted it's 3rd season, therefor making everyone have to rush the story they wanted to tell (sound familiar owl house fans?? dana did it better though)

I HAVE!!! a lot of feelings about this goofy lil cartoon but god i love it sm. professsor venomous is my dad fr fr and i would kill for anyone and everyone (except. a certain villain who shows up for tko. i hate him (not tko i love the emo baby))

Alright, so you hate modern shounen; but what's your opinion on those action-packed male-driven cartoons from the 00's/2010's (Ben 10, Danny Phantom, Xiaolin Showdown, etc.)?

Certainly SUPERIOR than Shounen, I'll tell you that. The characters are much more charismatic, the female characters are way more badass-y, and some of them at least bother to be a little bit more diverse.

I remember seeing someone jokingly referring to these types of shows as "Hamburger Shounen", and I think I'll use this term from now on, because while they do follow some elements and tropes utilized in Shounen, but they were created in western territory, rather than the usual japanese one.

Here's a list of some western cartoons that I consider to be Hamburger Shounen type:

Ben 10 (excluding that 2016 reboot, obvi);

Danny Phantom;

Xiaolin Showdown;

Sym-Bionic Titan;

Jake Long: American Dragon;

Megas XLR (borrows elements from Mecha and Kaiju, and has even parodied Magical Girls with the Ultra Chicks);

El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera (borrows elements from Tokusatsu);

Generator Rex;

OG!Teen Titans;

¡Mucha Lucha!;

Chaotic;

Static Shock;

Avatar: The Last Airbender;

Big Hero 6;

LEGO Monkie Kid;

Class of the Titans;

Code Lyoko;

Combo Niños;

Firebreather;

Into the SpiderVerse (I know, it's Marvel, but it's just so insanely good);

OK KO: Let's Be Heroes! (though this is more of a parody, and one of my least faves, to be honest... Has also borrowed Magical Girl elements with the character Elodie);

Sky High (this one's a live action movie, and I'll take this one over BnHA any day);

Hi-Fi Rush* (this one's a recently launched video game, but the accuracy it has with a 00's/2010's cartoon is just so beautifully crafted);

And that's all I could get from my memory. There's prolly a lot more out there, and I might be wrong in my predictament, but my shounenphobic instincts are saying "fuck it, we ball".

*Funny thing about HFR is that its protagonist, Chai, is 25 YEARS OLD. He's the only protagonist on this list who isn't a teenager, and yet he looks way too young and dumb to be actually 25. It's hysterical, really!

[sallyscave]

You know the feeling of when you just gained a new hyperfixation? The feeling of excitement and worry, that longing feel of desperation for whatever you’re consuming. It’s like a drug, and by god do I want more of it.

MCL New Gen Ep. 3 Review

I finally finished the episode! I'll give a more generic opinion about it here and put all the spoilers below the cut!

I think it was really nice, I didn't check how many APs I used but I saw someone else mention that it's around 1200 APs which I think is fair! I was scared about it at first because I'm not sure if I'm the only one who noticed that, ususally, the first episodes are either shorted/cheaper and that new episodes that come out are much more expensive... I hope that won't happen!

The outfits are pretty cute, also I noticed that if you want to, you can unlock the other outfit you missed for 150 hearts! It's just to unlock it in the shop without having to replay the episode, you still have to purchase each piece separately but I think it's alright since the prices are really cheap!!

I don't really know what else to add and still be spoiler free, so now it's time for spoilers! you've been warned!

I'm so so happy with how they get Candy to react everytime... I love that she changes expressions accordingly and it's much more fun!! Also I think I screenshotted(?) almost all of Jason's scenes,, I'm sorry I'm just so down bad I kept giggling everytime he said anything,, I think that's why it took me a while to finish the episode lol...

Petronilla you're so real for that... Me too... (he awakens the goblin inside me...)

Honestly I really think that we should keep this in mind everytime he opens his mouth because it's actually so true... Also how are you so obsessed... Keep it going...

He wants to kiss her so bad I just know it... He's like that one kid that bullies you just because he's into you and doesn't know how to behave

"Little kitten"

...

I'm so done with this guy he's so shameless and I love him for that,,

The illustration is very pretty! He's so handsome why can't he just do a backflip off of Goldreamz's roof (He's so pretty sometimes it p*sses me off lmao)

I think I'll try to edit this one soon too!

I think it's pretty funny that she calls him that, yeah I can see how he's a loser... (I be calling him things just cause he's pretty and annoying I swear)

She's so... I'm so gay leave me alone,,,,,

ALSO ISTG she's going to be the end of me and my wallet, I can't help but always buy both her's and Jason's special scenes (I still haven't understood if you can get the illu's without buying the scenes... help,,) and on top of that of course I'll say that I'm going for Jason's route and then buy Amanda's illus because I can't live without it,, Beemoov let me be poly for once, Petronilla has two hands for a reason!! Either let us (Me and 'Nilla) have the same outfits for both Amanda and Jason so that I won't have to spend 350 extra gems or idk;;-;

The doomed yuri... The forbidden yuri... Petronilla you're so gay... Idk I think I can hear "I wanna be your girlfriend" by girl In red from miles away... We're so over ;A;

If I get the time I think I'll try to edit this one as well!! So so pretty!

I also wanted to mention this... Man he's just like me this guy is autistic as F**K I'm telling y'all... I relate to that so much, especially the fact that he apparently seems to be thinking in percentages as well (By that I mean that at least I tend to make my decisions based on calculations and such... That's why I like to joke about having a computer for brains lol)

Looks like Beemoov's writers did their homework on this guy cause if he's actually autistic-coded I think they did a great job! Autism is a spectrum in the end but I really resonate with how they're potraying it with Thomas! Kudos!

Last but not least... Jason's text after finishing the episode... I'm shipping Jason and Petronilla so hard,,,,,, I love the blue&pink contrast, they were made for each other your honor... If we add Amanda they can be the Bisexual flag together...

[happi-dreams]

so me and my sister just rewatched both the lego movies and we have just been yapping to each-other ever since and i really need to talk about emmet as a autistic character and the movies in general because GOD—

Emmet autism power time wao

In the beginning of the first movie, Emmet is the only person we see who consistently refers to the instructions and carries it around throughout his day — kinda being a ‘script’ that other autistic people use to fit in with others or use with social situations except instead of being internalised rules it’s a *literal* instruction book (which he has many of). This being a representation of the expectations that society expects of him and the unspoken rules he needs to follow; he’s been essentially wearing a mask throughout his whole life in an attempt to fit in, but even then his peers still see him as different due to them not following the instructions as closely as he does, causing a disconnect that Emmet couldn’t know about because he assumed everyone is doing the same as him.

But by the end of the first movie, Emmet realises that he can be himself and can focus on what makes him, *him*!! Rather than constantly following what others expects of him, he unlocks the ability to master-build and uses it for specifically things that interest him and what he wants (e.g the construction robot and the double decker couch!).

This lead into the beginning of the second movie, after 5 years Emmet is now living by his own life by his own rules, he still follows instructions but this time he makes it himself! He knows that routine and it makes him the most comfortable so he continues to do it but by his own terms. (akin to how autistic people (me) use specific routines and plans to make their day to day easier).

He’s also shown to be the only person who’s appearance hasn’t changed at all, still sticking to his optimistic demeanour because it’s an integral part of his identity as a person and by not conforming to the expectations of society he’s in, he’s being himself and valuing what makes him unique — building things that are specific to solely him.

In the Christmas tree short he’s the head of the construction crew sequence team, in the movie he builds a comfortable home with all of his interests and personality stuffed inside! But it is immediately disregarded as ‘not serious’ and ‘too bright/clean/friendly’ and dangerous to society (dangerous to the views society wants him to conform to) — with that critique of his home then being an indirect critique of his character and who he is as a whole, that he cannot or should not be himself anymore, that he needs to change and be more serious, more mature, this evident key reignites the feelings of insecurity in Emmet that he should not need to feel again following the events of movie 1.

—

Considering Rex Dangervest as a character; this is a version of Emmet we see as who, after being stuck in a dryer and wallowing in feelings of betrayal and anger, conforms to what his old peers wanted from him, putting on another mask now of maturity. He changes his entire appearance, emphasising the change while also burying his past identity.

However, even though he’s being what others wanted of him, he’s still doing it for himself and to attempt to squash or bury the deep insecurity he now has. He’s learned that instructions aren’t needed anymore, which is yet another thing he has completely removed from his identity now and in an attempt to be as un-himself as possible, he lives his life impulsively and destructively — his entire crew being composed of raptors than people, reflecting his distrust of people and further separating himself from them, furthering his isolation in toe.

Rex is also a unreliable narrator, lying about his accomplishments and playing it up to further conform into this mask he has created and making himself seem much more special and interesting than what he may actually be, using this to push himself further away from who he used to be (quite similar to Lucy actually, but taken even further through him taking what everyone says about him literally).

—

But back to Emmet, when he meets Rex he is in a vulnerable point in his life both in situation and emotionally, he’s unsure of whether he should be himself or how others feel about him. He wants to be loved and known by others and not being ignored like he was in the beginning of the first movie, he’s clearly willing to change himself in order to achieve this goal even if it’s not good for him, Rex had (has) this same insecurity and feeds into this intentionally, encouraging Emmet to change himself and grow tougher and stronger mirroring what his peers used to do with him, showing a cycle of hurt that is caused because of those words and actions.

Emmet changes *insanely* quickly, learning the master-breaking ability immediately as opposed to Rex who likely needed years to perfect it, likely pushing most of his feelings deep down and even though he’s accepted more of himself at the beginning of the second movie, his whole life before then was constant repression and masking, the instructions he was given by society actively told him what to do and how to feel, how to answer others but he was never given an outlet for any negative emotions.

That many years of repression cannot be undone such a short time, but Rex gives him a destructive outlet to vent his emotions rather than a constructive one — furthering what Rex wants Emmet to be and what Rex sees as good now because of his own trauma, wishing to now better his past self and help him realise the ‘truth’ earlier than he did, both to help Emmet but also protect him from what Rex had to go through but in the end hurting Emmet anyways.

In conclusion,

Emmet is uber duper autistic and he should be able to get a therapist and also be silly *drops mic*

I have more I wanna yap about but imma give myself a lil break cause i have like, a whole talk about the second movie plus a rewrite of the entire dryer bit plus fun things but ye

But i really hope this sounded good !! if you have literally anything to add or rebuttal please let me know! :D

[rainbowgod666]

Wizardposting blogs and my view of them, OR:

My ass out here cataloguing wizards like they're pokemon 💀 i ran out of things to do fr 💀💀💀

@official-megumin: dutch (EDIT. SHE ISNT. I WRONGLY REMEMBERER A POST OF HERS. I KNOW HER ASS IS LIVING [OR FROM] NORTH EUROPE THO) megumin that still has the "only knows one spell and its the stupidest and hardest to unlock and use. Balancing the Meta my ass" problem. In a relationship with @a-sentient-cup

@autism--wizard: just a lil neurodivergent guy that likes spooders. Not much of it really. Possibly strong enough to defeat spiders georg

@the-adhd-sorcerer: moot :) also more powerful than they let on, but its like DBXV2: starter gear and GODLY stats

@mossy--wizard: moss-fueled neurodivergent boi with lots of moss. Yes their blog feels like a wet forest in the sunlight, drying up after a long rain. Not really interacted with them tho...

@wizard-council-bureaucrat: basically the MC of tumblr wizardposting. If they say something its either wizard law or just a suggestion. Probably the only wizard here that ISNT "surprisingly powerful even though their learning was less than advanced"

@wizard-intern: the blorbo.

@the-gnomish-bastard: ok i get that theyre basically pilaf from dragonball, but A: the stew arcanum is REAL bur the 24 gods thing either sounds like bullshit or he made a stew out of 24 REALLY HUBRIS-FILLED PEOPLE (which would explain his "holy fucking shit how are you even capable of HAVING A STRUCTURE WITH THE FUNCTION OF A BRAIN"), B: he was the dude that came up with the whole "floating wizard island thing" (which has so many holes like wtf put it back down) and C: im pretty sure they have been corrupted by some kind of mushroom deity, which would explain the fact that when calling him "stupid" its like SCP-682 saying that humans are disgusting. Because there literally isnt a stronger word in the human language. How in the fuck does someone have so little intellect we have to do like the jewish population of europe after 1945 when they came up with the word "shoah" to describe what happened to them. To the user running that blog. GET SOME PSYCHIATRIC HELP ASAP. Holy shit.

@not-a-suspicious-wizard: "I aM vErY tRuStWoRtHy" dude everyone knows you wanna do some weird "subjugate reality" bullshit. How about you start making drafts and NOT murdering opponents? Seriously dude if you wanna be in charge as long as you dont try weird "consolidating power like its the 1940s" shit its alright. Maybe take some craftmanship things as a hobby! Make your own throne! Come up with something to do when you are too tired to do Dominant King Bullshit! Play modded minecraft/terraria! Make origami! If youre gonna blanket the world in darkness, at least make it look cool and welcoming instead of "inevitable rebel uprising lol have fun with Prophetic Children lmao" :3

@incompetent-wizard: are you SURE youre incompetent? Chances are, you're just unlucky 😊

[kings-highway]

Trick or treat!

hello hello hello thank you for arriving at my door! for you, my lovely giant gay robot, i have curated a never-before-seen Ushiten drabble, written while I wait for my landlord to finish repairing the towel rack. Its about birthdays, its about autism, its about friendship, enjoy~

---

Ushijima has never really celebrated his birthday anyway. After his father had left, that kind of childish, big celebration had been pushed aside. His mother would give him a gift, something quiet and practical, new shoes, new sweater, books or something he needed for school. She'd make him his favourite meal, and then the day would be over. Ushijima wasn't really even sure if any of the other kids at school had known it was his birthday, but if they did, they didn't mention it. He was used to the affair being quiet and unassuming - unimportant.

So he's not particularly bothered by spending the day on his own. Shiratorizawa was a boarding school, even at the middle school grades, so he'd been celebrating his birthdays like this for some time now. He doesn't even think its worth mentioning to the new team - its his first year at the high school, first year with the team, first year with this roommate, none of it feels... relevant. Why should he make a big deal about something he doesnt care about?

He got a text from his mother that morning - nothing so far has come in from his father, but technically it's still yesterday for him, so he thinks maybe he just didnt consider the time change.

He unlocks the door to his dorm, but gets halfway through the process before finding out the door was already unlocked. With a frown, he pushes open the door, calling out a greeting and inciting the intruder - one fellow first year Tendou Satori - to shriek in surprise, trip himself backwards off the chair he was standing on, and flail all the way to the ground. Ushijima starts moving reflexively to try and catch him, but pretty much everything about this is flawed from the start. Although it's technically successful, it's clumsy and impractical and Tendou's gangly limbs have already started thrashing and twisting around, and apparently likes being held or supported about as much as a feral cat would.

So Ushijima lets him go, looking up at what he's been hanging on the wall and-

"Happy Birthday?" he reads off the banner.

Tendou, trying to catch his breath and recover from his scare, looks up at him with a red face.

"Yeah. It's your B-day, ain't it?"

"Uhh..."

"Sorry it's... a little lackluster. There would have been more, I promise, but I only figured out tmit was today like an hour ago. And I thought you'd be out longer."

Ushijima turns to face him. "What's happening?"

Tendou stares back, before straightening up and saying: "Well I was trying to throw you a surprise birthday party, but clearly there's a solar flare or something interrupting my guesswork because you came back really quick."

"I always go in the morning," Ushijima agrees.

"Its summer vaycay? Why are you at the gym on your birthday?"

"...I like it?"

"Weirdo," Tendou sings, before clearing his voice and opening his arms, as if becoming a different character entirely. "Either way, bienvenue à la birthday, Leon is picking up a cake right about now, and Semi is on his way over from his mum's."

"...Why?"

"Because it's your birthday," Tendou repeats, more firmly. "Are you dense or something? What about this is hard to understand?"

"I didnt ask anyone to come over," Ushijima says, a spark of panic glowing in his chest.

"I know, I know," Tendou says. "But you can't celebrate your birthday alone, that-" he cuts himself off, perhaps finally switching that intuition of his back on as he gets a look at Ushijima again, who has started flexing his hands, turning slowly to look over the room.

"I wasn't planning on celebrating like this," he says.

"Oh," Tendou says. "You really don't like surprises, do you?"

"I didn't ask people to come over," Ushijima replies. "I don't need them to bring me things, it is not that important to me, I don't... want to spend the evening in a group of people."

"Its not... just people, we're you're friends-"

"But you're still people," Ushijima says. "Who in short order will be in my room for an indeterminate amount of time and I will not be able to control when they leave nor will I be able to leave myself because I will already be home and-"

"Okay," Tendou says, putting his hands up and approaching slowly. "No worries at all. I can text the other guys, and they will stay away. We can just call it off."

Ushijima takes a slow breath.

He is beginning to think that maybe his lack of birthday celebrations was not, actually, lack of investment on his mother's part.

"Everyone will be annoyed, or mad, that they put the effort in, we should-"

"Hey, Ushi," Tendou says. "That's not your problem. Let me take care of it. Its your birthday, so you get to celebrate however you want. Thems the rules."

Ushijima nods slightly, looking back at him and trying to take in the sincerity in his expression. He's only known Tendou for a few months, but he's an odd little fellow, all spikey features and curled lips and exaggerated expressions. Ushijims thinks this is a new one, though, this kindness. He'd always just seemed... well, for lack of a kinder term, self-serving.

"You really won't be upset? That I'm refusing your party?"

Tendou smiles, shrugs, and says: "Hey, life's a lot more fun when you indulge everyone's weird little quirks. I'll plan something you like next year."

Ushijima frowns. "That sounded-"

"Like a threat? You betcha."

And this makes Ushijims smile. Almost. He thinks he would smile, but he doesnt feel his face do it. Maybe, he thinks, its because that althought Tendou joked about being a threat, it was more of a promise. And a promise meant that Tendou wanted to stick around at least that long.

"Thank you," Ushijima says, and Tendou gives him a mock salute, then turns and waltzes off to the door.

"Oh!" he says, turning around as he opens the door, pointing at him. "But you will have to put up with the gift. Its there on your desk-" Ushijims glances over to see the neat, cleanly wrapped narrow box. "Spoiler alert, its chocolate, but I... uh... did it wrong, so maybe dont eat it. But it's the thought that counts, right?"

Even from here, Ushijima can see the little gift tag hanging from the bow, and the messy, scratchy writing, where Tendou has tagged the gift not from himself or a group, but under the title of 'your bff.'

It is interesting, Ushijima thinks, that he would not have needed to know who it was from to understand the vague gift tag. He would have known. He's only known him a few months, but he would have known.

"Yes," Ushijima agrees, looking back to where Tendou was. "It is the thought that counts."

[brandwhorestarscream]

Are we talking about transformers and xenomorphs? Cause I have thoughts on Megatron aligning himself with a queen and using Starscream as a breeder for xeno-cybertronian hybrids. Though he's more uhh traditionally impregnated. Idk the thought of a face hugger coiled around his thighs, fucking him with its ovipositor is so fucking hot

Ohohohoho honey. You're new here, aren't you?

Congratulations, you have unlocked the Power of Autism. Prepare to be ranted at lmfao

ANYWAY YES!! My beloved cybermorphs AU is smthn we've been building for months: beautiful terrifying cosmic horrors in the form of cybertronian-xenomorph hybrids, a techno-organic species we call cybermorphs. Megatron doesn't align himself with a queen, he is a queen! The very first one, in fact 😌 he and 4 others make up the very first generation of morphs, springing from 5 unfortunate warframe mecha that were exposed to and infected with xenomorph embryos

Xenomorphs and cybertronians are some of the most adaptive species in existence, both on polar opposite ends of the spectrum: one streamlined to be the ultimate, perfectly evolved killing machine that can thrive without oxygen or food, and the other a nearly-invulnerable inorganic species with the ability to rewrite their physical form at the drop of a hat. Put together they make the most dangerous, invasive, and voracious species the universe has ever seen. All of the xenomorphs killer instinct and capability to rapidly propagate blended perfectly with cybertronian invincibility and next-level processing power. They're damn near unstoppable

To address the other character you mentioned tho 👀 Starscream usually takes one of two roles in this AU: most commonly, he's one of the first mecha Megatron mutated into a morph (as a queen caste, he has transmutative royal jelly + venom), and Starscream serves at his side not only as one of his praetorians (a caste of xenomorph that essentially act as an immobile queen's royal guard), but also as one of his favored sires. In some universes, he serves as Megatron's King, a field military commander that commands the drones + warriors while the queen is immobilized in the hive. Starscream and Megatron's offspring are what we refer to as Vosimorphs, incredibly fast flight capable morphs that spit venom and can cloak very efficiently.

NSFW under the cut 🤭

As far as facehugger valve-fucking someone with their ovipositor 👀 see I hadn't really considered that! We've once discussed some crazy SOB (Shockwave. It was Shockwave) offering himself to a morphling egg and doing a handstand so the "highest orifice" instinct made them go for the valve instead, but 🤤 now I'm just imagining someone all strung up and immobilized by the secreted resin, the facehugger nestled up against their valve and sucking at the lips, thoroughly penetrating them for the implant while the poor incubator moans and thrashes and tries to get away. Be still my beating heart 🥰

Some modern assassin head cannons because I just finished replaying AC2

Desmond is at least half Hispanic (because I am) and can Speak Spanish almost fluently. He will cuss people out in Spanish without them realising and struggles with Ezio’s bleeding effects because Italian is similar Spanish

Desmond has ear piercings AND YOU CANNOT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE, I MEAN LOOK AT HIS INSPIRATION- FRANSISCO RANDEZ

Desmond is definitely Bi *remembers when his voice actor Nolan North wanted Deadpool to be into dudes in that one game*

Desmond has been fired from multiple jobs (not just bartending) this means he can do a lot of random (useless) shit

Desmond has ADHD

Shaun and Altaïr have Autism

no one knows if Shaun is gay or not and he likes to keep it a mystery (he has no idea either)

Lucy is definitely the only straight one in the modern gang

Since Shaun has very punk ideologies, I like to think he used to dress that way as a teen (healed over ear piercings)

Most of Shaun’s family is definitely dead, you can’t snoop about in an all powerful, secret organisation and not have severe consequences.

Rebacca had a German Mastiff or a Rottweiler

Desmond’s eyes reflect light in the dark (like a cat) after he unlocked the ability to use eagle vision

Desmond is a shit drawer

Desmond has very himbo/caveman energy

no one knows if Lucy is a natural blonde and she likes to keep it that way

Once Shaun got really fed up with the rest of them and they all heard Limp Bizkit blasting from his room

Desmond would definitely listen to Chappell Roan (femininomenon and good luck, babe!)

Shaun had an aneurysm when Desmond told him he’s never watched Star Wars

Desmond has never celebrated Christmas (his father probably thought that holidays were a waste of time)

okay this is something i’ve been thinking about since watching hazbin hotel

tdlr: the four horsemen and its correlation to hell, heaven, and power of overlords.

so, i’ve been doing a lot of research about christianity for a hazbin hotel oc/persona, bc i was *accidently* put into a christian cult/future megachurch as a child and this is what they call healing. as such, i’ve been doing research into the book of revelations vs. the book of ezekiel. SPECIFICALLY the interpretation of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. typically these are interpreted as death/pestilence, war, conquest, and famine. now, there’s two interpretations of the four horsemen. one where its interpreted as the four horsemen being on the ‘good’ side since their released by jesus/lamb of god/lion of judas by unlocking 4/7 seals of the book in gods right hand.

the other, which I interpret more, is the idea that the four horsemen of the apocalypse dont belong to a side. their whole shtick is that they enact chaos and destruction by virtue of gods will in order to prep for the rapture. their very existence is contradictory of each other, to be an enactment of god (which is considered good or holy), yet enacting destruction and chaos.

which brings me to this little thought.

i wondered /what/ gives a sinner power in hell. we’ve seen that deals certainly do something, but it seems as if some demons just spawn in hell with a shit ton of power. at first i thought ‘oh yeah its gotta be dependent on how bad they are or what sins they committed’, but that DOESNT MAKE SENSE. 1) (i only number this and nothing else) alastor is one of the most powerful sinners in the pride ring yet even he has a moral code (re: vizies q+a answer about alastor having similar morals to dexter). And for someone like Valentino, who I would argue as the most ruthless evil motherfucker out there, to have less power than a walking and talking TV, it just doesn’t make sense. Of course- the originals sins we see in Helluva Boss are going to be powerful because they are the original sins, but what about everyone else, about humans.

That’s what the rapture is about, clearing the earth and saving the “good” people, the idea that humanity has become too poisoned and we need to start over (they shit on humanity for 90% of the show, justifiably). But the four horseman represent everything in humanity that remains eerily constant. there was always been war, famine, death/pestilence, and a need to control others (conquest). they are but facets of what already exist. so what if a sinners (previously humans) powers come from their enactment of these principles during their living life. Alastor embodies a lot of famine (cannibalism) and death (serial killer), Vox has a need to control (conquest) others, Carmilla literally runs her entire company based on the fact that people need weapons to fight against angels (war).

and it would make sense why adam, despite being the supreme douche leader that he is, hasn’t been cast out of hell. he does what he does because he believes its a necessarily act, but all it does it scream war and death like a 5 year old on caffeine. the four horsemen do not choose a side, so no matter where their represented, heaven or hell, its still a justifiable fuel for power.

anyways autism speaks and sure is it loud. this is a very whishy washy theory but i think it’s an interesting idea and i am 100% down from criticism from people who understand the bible way more than me.

Natsu Headcanons:

Genderfluid Dragongender Aro Bisexual, He/Any pronouns

5'8", well muscled, he's got some fat padding, but overall not a lot. He has a fast metabolism rate (largely in-part due to how fast he has to consume and digest fire), causing him to not gain a lot of weight.

Mixed, he's half Japanese half Māori. He takes after his mom in all but hair color.

He has ADHD and Autism. Look at him.

Left with some serious burn scars on his arm after Alvarez, along with a lot of scales. His dexterity in that hand isn't the best anymore but Wendy healed it as much as she could.

Best sense of smell out of all the dragon slayers, he is comparable to a bloodhound.

Due to being a dragon slayer he has red scales lining his cheekbones and the top ridge of his pointed ears. He has larger canine teeth than average. His tongue is also slightly forked on the end. Later in life (around 30s) he has scales on the back of his hands and tops of his feet.

After unlocking Dragon Force, one of his coal black eyes lit like it had been placed in flames, and now it is the color of fire.

Lucy is his life partner, and he would do literally anything for her. It's unsure if that partnership is romantic, queerplatonic, or what, but it's still a partnership.

He is an extremely tactile person and struggles with the concept of personal space especially when he likes someone. Lucy has lectured him about it before. He's... Working on it.

He has a tā moko band right below his guild mark, he got it from Gajeel and it represents the connection between the time periods that he and the rest of the dragon slayers are from.

He fucking loves having stuff in his mouth. In a modern AU he would probably constantly carry his phone in his mouth and have a chewing stim.

Differences in his gender from day to day/moment to moment are mostly internal and he rarely expresses verbally, but sometimes if it's relevant to the conversation he'll state it.

He has texture issues regarding sleeves he doesn't like them most of the time.

He thinks sex is just something fun to do, nothing too serious. Because of this he's been known to have casual sex with his friends.

Meltdown

Spencer Reid x Female!Reader

-Description: You and Spencer are together. When Spencer experienced a meltdown, you are there for him.

-Warnings: Angst, fluffiness, meltdown, Autism Spectrum Disorder (Spencer)

-Word count: 992

-Note: (Repost from Wattpad!) This is a somewhat more heavier subject, and I hope, everyone has respect for each other. Everyone experience this different, and hopefully, you are all okay. I'm always here to talk! <3

Masterlist

Spencer's POV:

I would've been fine.

I would've been fine, with the sudden change of plans, that sent the team here in the first place. I would've been fine, forcing myself making eye contact with the officers during the briefing. I would've been fine, with the stranger occupying the space where Emily should be.

Really, I would've been fine.

But then, someone bumped into me in the local police station.

Normally, I have no problems with physical contact. But, I needed to know it was coming, and I needed to trust the person.

This stranger bumping into me, while I was already on edge, only made things worse. Far worse.

'I'm sorry.' the stranger apologized, because that's what you do when you accidentally bump into each other. You both say sorry, and move on with your lives.

I wanted to say sorry back, I really do, but I just couldn't. I froze for a moment, as I tried to speak, failing miserably. The man gave me a look, and walked away.

Suddenly, I was very aware of the coffee smell, that was hanging in the station. The fluorescence lights, were suddenly brighter, and the complete stranger, who just bumped into me, hadn't showered today. I could hear people chat, but couldn't make any word out of it.

I felt the tears sting, and knew, that I was on the very edge of having a meltdown. Not here. Not now. I wished, that I was home, alone, and could fall apart there. I needed privacy. I started to pace quickly to the single-user restroom, hoping no one would notice. When I made it into the restroom, I was quick with locking the door and turning the light off.

I broke down.

__________________________

Y/N POV:

I saw what happened. I saw, Spencer bumping into a stranger. I saw, his world changing, because of too many stimuli. I saw, him on the very edge of tears, of having a meltdown. And, I saw, him running towards the restroom.

Spencer, having a meltdown, never happened before. It happens rarely, and I never seen it happen. But, I knew what the symptoms are. When he told me, he was Autistic, I asked questions or search for information on the internet. I wanted to know as many things as possible, in order to help him. To understand him.

Now, I was fully able to keep my promises.

I rushed after him, and knocked gently on the door.

'Spence, it's me. I know what is happening, and I want to help you. Please let me in, I'm alone.'

That last word was the most important. I was alone. He didn't needed attention on him, especially not now.

After a few seconds, the door unlocked. I went in, and immediately locked it after me. There he was. His body, shaking, tears streaming down his face, as he bites his lip, in an attempt to sob as quiet as possible.

The most important thing to do was, stay calm. The least thing he needed, was more worrying. Since, this is the first time I experience this, and it's different with everyone, I wasn't sure if he needed a comforting hug, or that the physical contact only made things worse. So, I decided to just open up my arms, letting him decide.

'You don't need to hug me. Do what's best for you.'

He doubted it. But, made quick the decision, to crash into my arms. I hugged him. I wanted to hug him tightly, but I knew that he needed all the control. He needed to know, that he could pull back, at any given moment. He needed completely control.

I rubbed softly his back, as the tears were still streaming, uncontrollably.

'I am so proud of you, love. You're doing so good. Everything is going to be okey. Just let it all out.' I spoke, softly, hoping it would help.

Eventually, his tears lessened, then stopped, as we were now in comfortable silence. He pulled slightly away, and turned the light back on. Without saying anything, he went to the mirror. The tear traces were mostly gone, but his eyes were still a little puffy and red. He splashed some water in his face, making his eyes a bit better.

'Repitive thinking is a death mill for the brain. For complete brain usage, diverse stimulation is the key.' he spoke out a random fact, most likely wanted to make sure he could talk again.

Then, Spencer turned around, looking at me.

'Thank you so much, (Y/N). You don't know how much you helped me.' I could see the appreciation on his face, making me smile.

'I'm really glad, I could help.' he walked towards me, and wrapped me into a sweet hug.

'Normally, I would have been fine, but then there was this stranger, bumping into me, and-'

'It's okay, love. I understand, everything is okey now.' I hated to cut him off, but it seemed like the best option. He began to get nervous again, and the last thing I wanted, was to make him relive the moment.

'Are you okay?' I asked him, as we pulled apart again.

'Yes, much better now.'

'Good, and remember, I'm always here for you.'

'Thank you. Really, thank you for helping me.'

'No problem, genius. Are you ready to get back?'

'Yeah.'

'You sure?' I asked again, wanting to make sure he's ready. He nodded his head, as I was about to unlock the door.

'Love?'

'Yes?' I turned around, facing him.

'Im here for you too. Always.'

When the when the autism kicks in and suddenly it's 1 am and I have a completed Lear design despite the fact he doesn't show up in my au until the sequel fic

Naturally the best course of action to take with Hoopa!Lear was to make him more emo, and also pink, and also tan because I felt like it. Severe infodump under the cut cuz I am so. about him

Brief overview of the au- it just involves a lot of multiverse bullshit, as well as pokemon-human hybrids known as either gods (for mythical or legendary pokemon, created by being blessed either by an Arceus or fusing with the pre existing legendary) or demons (people who sell their soul when they die and tangentially become part Pokemon because fun character design). The story follows this guy named Akagi as he works to defeat his father once and for all...to put it simply.

Lear, or actually Lyer because he's from the first universe in context of all of this and therefore I have to use the Japanese name, was originally human just like most of the gods. This relates to the bigger picture but like 10,000 years before the story takes place there was this big event that left half the world destroyed and time all fucked up, bro almost died lmao loser but Hoopa fused with him to save his life

He then spent the next 10k years doing fuck all but being silly and visiting random universes until it was decided he was to be plot relevant where all he did was make travel easier which some how proved him more useful than any other traveling companion the mc had before

He only agrees to it because he's searching for the prison bottle so he can actually unlock his full power instead of just being 5'2" and able to teleport. And it's convenient enough that their destinations line up pretty well and he's more protected this way

Also not to get too angsty because it'll be at least a year before I can write any part of this story because I physically cannot work so out of order but given the fact he never had his character development in masters and has also genuinely lost everyone he's ever cared about because that long ass stretch of time (where bro didn't age, I'll add, he's still 17 here smh couldn't even drown the pain with alcohol or smth) he's even more difficult and it takes a lot more for him to accept that he doesn't have to suffer alone

(Also lowkey oc x canon but you cannot come into my house and insult my gay furniture when I have good lore reasons)

Also unrelated but when I was autistically scrolling the tags for him on Tumblr I learned that other people have made Hoopa!Lear design's and I was so like...that was so fun to see hehe it inspired me to finally draw mine. I've been obsessed with him recently which came out of no where- he wasn't in the story at all until a month ago

[drdemonprince]

so grateful i found your blog by chance and get to engage with your thoughts, i am pouring a drink for you if you want it 🍶

the replacement of culture in usamerica with whiteness/assimilation, esp how you describe the familial/interpersonal dynamics, resonates so much with what i have known.

i have been trying to understand my family (and a lot of people i grew up around) through the lens of childhood emotional neglect, and i'm curious if that concept has come up in your scholarship. cen has really helped me connect with autism spectrum disorders despite not having a diagnosis, as there are a number of overlapping experiences.

I wouldn't say it's come up in my scholarship -- very little of my formal training has been remotely helpful or grounded in a material analysis of reality or an understanding of colonialism, so it kinda sucks. What HAS helped me are books -- Lindsay Gibson's work on emotionally immature parents unlocked the door for me to realize that something was missing in my life, and then more political writing from marxists, anarchists, Black liberationists, child liberationists, and Indigenous scholars allowed me to better envision how a better life could be. Dawn of Everything is a great text. A lot of Ayesha Khan's recent writing has been super helpful. There's much about family abolishment on the anarchist library online that has helped me (as has Lee Schrevek's writing) and many other sources that I hype all the time! Books about the construction of whiteness such as Hillbilly: A Cultural History of an American Icon has also helped.

It can be difficult to untangle some of these criticisms of white, capitalist society from my reading of myself and others as Autistic, because there's a troubling degree to which understanding my family members as unrealized Autists helps explain their coldness and aloofness in a way that personalizes the blame, rather than positioning them within a broader cultural and economic context. But of course the real answer is that it's already hard enough for anyone to connect under these conditions, but it's even less so when even the meager existing framework for understanding emotions and relationships that you *do* have is especially primed to not fit you.

suffice to say, many of the struggles of unmasking autistics is of the exact same piece as that of queer people, poly people, abuse survivors, immigrant families, and any other group that has had to reinvent their own social scripts and construct their own families and cultures, and all of this is very very relevant to my next two books.

[nico-notion]

hiya, making a notion/studyblr sideblog in the hopes that this will unlock more motivation for school 👍

hello i'm nico (he/him), 19yr old gay trans guy

second-year college student studying transportation planning/public policy + disability studies

sexy neurodivergent: autism. adhd. anxiety. apd. etc.

I've been using notion for more than 3 years now and it has turned into my main special interest

will be posting about my personal notion, the notion I manage for my neurodiversity school club, general notion stuff, and study stuff (with yapping throughout or whatever else I wanna talk about)

will like/follow from my main blog, @autistic-twink

not going to try hard to make stuff aesthetic. in my own opinion and experience, it's just a waste of time cause I'll get bored of it within the month lmao

terfs, nazis, zionists, bigots, exclusionists, etc. DNI. thanks!

more under the cut about my tags, stuff about my different notions, etc.

tag list:

#nico's notion - when i'm talking about my own personal notion that I use for everything outside of club stuff #nico's club notion - when I'm talking about the notion that I built/manage for the neurodivergent club at my university #nico's spin - when I'm talking about general notion stuff like new features, issues, tutorials, etc. #nico's studying - when I'm talking about my own studying for stuff or studying tips #nico's yapping - stuff that does not fall into the above categories or just because I feel like it #nico's notion reblogs - may reblog cool notion dashboards, tips, tutorials, etc

i will probably make a separate post on my club notion hub, because it is the loml. i started it in spring 2024 and in total estimate that I've spent ~40-45 hours on it (and I still continuously work on it). I do not exaggerate when I say that it is my special interest :)

i've changed my personal notion dashboard soooo many times now as I have gotten more comfortable with notion over the years, and I'm currently in the middle of finding something that works for me, so I'll be posting about that. I've got a few systems down so far (task databases + notion calendar ftw) but still working on it.

if you've read this far- congratulations. gold star (you should follow me, I want other nd mutuals)
