🎸⭐️ EMA Band AU || music taste headcanons (pt. 3):

pt.1 pt.2

🗝️🥁 | Eren:

Eren just really likes loud shit in his ears. The louder the better. He mostly likes songs that are fun and energizing. He’s not super huge on lyrics, more just vibes. Eren mainly listens to metal but delves into rock, shoegaze, and slower tunes when he’s feeling more mellow or… emotional.

Top 3 artists:

Radiohead

Slipknot, maybe Korn

System Of A Down

honorable mentions: Pierce The Veil, Bring Me The Horizon, Deftones, Loathe, Linkin Park?

Songs he likes:

Chop Suey! - SOAD

Karma Police - Radiohead

Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) - Deftones

Duality - Slipknot

Freak On a Leash - Korn

Good God - Korn

Falling Away from Me - Korn

Jaded - Spiritbox

I Don’t Care If You’re Contagious - PTV

Sonne - Rammstein

🧣🎸 | Mikasa:

Mikasa enjoys fun and melodic music— songs she can sing and maybe even dance along to. She is really inspired by female vocalists in rock and metal. I imagine she likes indie pop/rock a lot too, and maybe even shoegaze when she needs some background noise.

Top 3 artists:

Paramore

Evanescence

BABYMETAL

honorable mentions: Poppy, Ado, bôa, Mitski, Arctic Monkeys, Glare

Songs she likes:

Spit - Poppy

Twilight - bôa

Everybody’s Fool - Evanescence

Ignorance - Paramore

Decode - Paramore

Thick Skull - Paramore

Distortion - BABYMETAL

Monochrome - BABYMETAL

Townie - Mitski

Brand New City -Mitski

🐚🎹 | Armin:

Because he is classically trained, Armin holds great admiration for instrumentalists and probably listens to a lot of jazz, orchestral, and classical music. I think he branches out as Mikasa and Eren influence him, and discovers other genres that appeal to him too—namely progressive metal. He’s drawn to music with experimental, impressive, or just pleasant instrumentals. Armin also probably focuses on lyrics a lot and can’t listen to a song if the words aren’t thought out or intentional in meaning.

Top 3 artists:

Laufey, or probably Mitski

The Contortionist, maybe Ok Goodnight

Joe Hisaishi

honorable mentions: Grouper, Ichiko Aoba, AURORA, Toshifumi Hinata, Patrick Watson, Polyphia?

Songs he likes:

Star - Mitski

Stjernestøv - AURORA

Merry-Go-Round of Life - Joe Hisaishi

HANA-BI - Joe Hisaishi

Let You Break My Heart Again - Laufey

Je te laisserai des mots - Patrick Watson

Eleanor Rigby - Cody Fry

Trios Gnossiennes: Gnossienne No. 1 - Erik Satie

Reimagined - The Contortionist

Day & Night - Ok Goodnight

thank you for reading :)) i just listed whatever came to my head, so lmk if u have any other music headcanons for this au!!

anyway, EMA band inspired playlist:

[shiberamune]

i saw @minor-dot-inconvenience 's post abt what mitski songs would destroy the breakfast club and then felt the urge to assign them all system of a down songs since it's my favorite band. i limited myself to 3 songs per character, except for bender, since i think he would be a soad fan therefore i relate 99% of their songs to him. this is more for me but i like posting them anyway (some of these choices are based on vibes and some are based off the meanings/lyrics of the songs) john: B.Y.O.B, sugar, war?, chop suey, toxicity, mr jack, violent p//nography, stealing society allison: lonely day, question!, holy mountains brian: lost in hollywood, tentative, soldier side (also just to be funny: science) claire: revenga, she's like he/oin, dreaming andrew: old school hollywood, cigaro, vicinity of obscenity had to censor some words but whatever

[sevicia]

TALKING ABT CHOP SUEY! AGAIN!!! BUT!!!!!

I also love how the intro is so inviting (like with a few other SOAD songs) before going all heavy and high energy and having these dips into a more mellow(?) melody during the "self-righteous suicide" part before rising back up into something you can mosh to and eventually peaking when the "FATHER!" part starts, then soaring until dipping again at the end.

It works so perfectly it is so satisfying to listen to and bc I read the 1st verse as disguising your authentic self because of the harsh judgement so many people face for just being human, it makes me think of the energy changes throughout the song as moments of emotional authenticity in the sense that we have a gentle melodic start followed by an intense and fun instrumental that makes you want to just enjoy the music and not really think about the lyrics. it feels like the harsh parts are masking the more emotional lyrics in a way, and the first energy dip ending abruptly with the (amazing btw) "DIE!" scream to bring the fast pace back makes me think of having a moment of vulnerability only to try and "cover" it up with something easy to enjoy. but the second "when angels deserve to die" is carried so gently by Serj singing it alone after harmonizing with Daron, tentatively trying to be genuine just a little bit longer, it is just so beautiful sound-wise and contrasts with the comeback of the instrumental just ramping up to the outburst that leads into the end of the song, the screams of "FATHER!" with such raw anger turned despair right after, and the instrumental turns gentler again with I think like a piano or something ?? added in right when "Trust in my..." starts, the vocals are still so emotional esp. on the last "I cry" before "when angels deserve to die" is sung so clearly and even with an air of resignation.

Like you have these super fun moments against the lyrics and the musical (??) changes, it's like the song is trying to break away from the need to be loud in a way that others approve of and finally breaks free screaming until reaching full vulnerability at the end. And it breaks free following that very same intensity, taking it until it just can't anymore.

I'm just ramblinggg atp but just trying to avoid being vulnerable in order to be "fun" for others and meeting their expectations right up until your very end when you can't change the way you lived. To me the song conveys this so perfectly whether it intended to or not IDGAF!!!!!

(also disclaimer that when I refer to certain parts as "more enjoyable" or "seeking approval" I mean that as a metaphor (??????) for the way people act cheerful/calm in order to avoid being judged for expressing what they really feel and how this harms you in the long run, with the song taking the role of a person. I do not mean that the song itself or just SOAD as a band does this. in fact I would argue they do the opposite which is what makes them so unique and overwhelming. heart.)

[disruptxrr]

don't know how to amuse u but here take this gif

also what songs have u been listening to?

you are so real ily. thank you for the club penguin gif (i love penguins) MUSIC!!!! okay so lately i have been listening to soad a lot. my favorites rn are “B.Y.O.B”, “violent pornography”, “needles” & “chop suey!” (of course) other than that, i discovered a band two days ago. they are called “superheaven” and so far they seem pretty cool, my favorite song by them rn is “poor aileen” and a lot of slipknot but that’s not new (i fucking love “prosthetics”)

[hammy-fan]

i cant believe that soad made chop suey and also THAT STUPID SONG ABOUT TERACOTTA PIE THAT GETS STUCK IN MY HEAD CONSTANTLY

[im-just-trash-o3o]

Whats song has really impacted your life and how you listen to music?

Oooo that’s a tough one cuz there’s multiple!

I’d say teenagers by MCR and chop suey by SOAD cuz they changed the course of my music interest forever by introducing me to their genres of music.

But actually I’m gonna say Kotik Kotik AND dostala, both by Alexander rybak. My brother @yeennqueenn and I when we first met both knew the song Dostala, but in different languages! Me in Russian, and him in English! We bonded over our mutual love for Alexander rybak’s music and had never met another person who knew the song before, we also didn’t know there WERE other languages versions of them!

Whereas Kotik Kotik was the first Russian song I fell in love with. It was my enlightenment into my absolute love for Russian music and culture and language. It’s also become a song me and my brother like. Since that song, I’ve learned COUNTLESS Russian songs despite not speaking Russian, I have tried to start learning the lang language a bit, and I’ve even gotten into learning MORE songs of different languages!

[flameontheotherside]

We went to Vegas

I didn't take a lot of pictures because of all the excitement. But it was a lot of fun. I got to see all the bands I went there to see. Seeing Slipknot and SOAD was sort of a spiritual experience for me. I felt Erik with me and when Chop Suey came on Rick grabbed my hand because he knows why I can't hear that song. I didn't cry. I dissociated. We couldn't get to a mosh pit for SOAD so it wasn't like I could push and shove people to get away from the pain of that song.

Sick New World was awesome. I just wish they stretched it out over the weekend instead of cramming so many bands in one whole day! Vegas reminded me of Florida minus the humidity which I could live without. I had to be greeted with the same wet and cold climate we left when we returned.

I'd love to go to Sick New World again if SOAD was headlining again. This year they sounded older. They have mellowed out since I saw them in 2006. But I'd love to see them at least one more time.

I've been talking to Erik a lot lately

He's concerned about my depression. It's under control but I stopped seeing my therapist. They aren't very professional or put together. Long story short. They never scheduled me for my next appointment and they assumed since I never called that I didn't want care anymore. Whatever I'll find another therapist. I also have to find a new psychiatrist. It's hell. Just very frustrating shit.

Having a dead TS is hard. Sometimes I wish this never happened to me and there are times I feel lucky. My life was never easy and it's made harder doing this. But I'm fighting every day to NOT make the same mistake he did. I'm trying so fucking hard. I just wish right now I could stop fighting.

😘💕 Have a wonderful weekend loves...

[silly-jellyghoty]

I'm bored :(

I'm pretty bored rn so I'm gonna list some of my favourite albums of all time, as well as my favourite tracks because I have nothing better to do :)

Some honourable mentions as well: Meteora - Linkin Park, Hellbilly Deluxe - Rob Zombie, Iowa - Slipknot, BABYMETAL, Stay Hungry - Twisted Sister, Black Sabbath

Also, I do like a lot of music so there are a lot more, but these are some I always like to visit

OK Computer - Radiohead Literally how could you not put this one. It's one of the best albums ever released. A literal journey. Favourite tracks: Paranoid Android, Karma Police, Airbag

Toxicity - System Of A Down Probably the best metal album there is, or nu metal at least. System have no bad songs and I'm convinced. Chop Suey is their most popular song for a reason. The last 30 seconds >>>> Favourite tracks: Shimmy, X, Chop Suey!, ATWA

System Of A Down More SOAD lol, this time their self titled debut album. Too underrated, people don't talk about it enough :( one of their best songs is in that album (Spiders) Favourite tracks: Spiders, Know, Sugar, Darts

Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park I just got my CD of this album today!! Again, one of the best nu metal albums. Probably the best Linkin Park album too (love their other stuff though, Minutes to Midnight >>>) Favourite tracks: Papercuts, Crawling, In The End

Nevermind - Nirvana Iconic. And amazing. And Nirvana. This album omfg I love it Favourite tracks: Come As You Are, Smells Like Teen Spirit (cry about it idc), Lithium

Hurry Up, We're Dreaming - M83 This is like the only non rock/metal album here because it's THAT good. You wouldn't believe that it came out in 2011. This album makes me feel things I can't describe, I recommend that everyone listens to it at least once in their lives. Favourite tracks: Intro, Outro, Midnight City, Wait, Reunion

Follow The Leader - Korn This is currently the only Korn album I have on CD (I just ordered the self titled one today though) and I love it. The song with Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit?? Cool af Favourite tracks: All In the Family, Got the Life

Ride The Lightning - Metallica This IS the best Metallica album and idgaf about what anyone says. This is too amazing, I bought it for my dad recently because he loves Fade To Black. Do I blame him? No. Favourite tracks: Ride The Lightning, Fade To Black, The Call Of Ktulu

Paranoid - Black Sabbath I would be crazy to not include Black Sabbath. Favourite tracks: Iron Man, War Pigs

Spit - Kittie I LOVE KITTIE SO MUCH AAGGHH. I ordered their album Oracle today, wanted to get Spit too but it's so expensive and for what??? I'm too broke for that :( Favourite tracks: Brackish, Charlotte, Paperdoll, Suck

Slivers.exe - MEJIBRAY One of the most iconic Visual Kei albums I must say. This album alone got me into vkei. Japanese metal wouldn't be the same without MEJIBRAY. Favourite tracks: Kore wo Izon to Yobu nara, CRAZED BRAIN

LOVE IS A MELODY - D&D I giggled typing this because it's so different to everything else here. D&D was a Japanese Eurobeat girl group from the 90s and their music SLAPS. All of it is on Spotify so hooray, also check out their sub-unit Aya&Chika from D&D. Kiss in the Sun is too good Favourite tracks: SUNSHINE HERO, SHAPE UP LOVE, BRAND NEW LOVE

SUPER EURO PARTY - HINOI Team Again, this is another Japanese Eurobeat girl group, but from the mid 2000s instead. They had a couple of original songs but also did covers of classic Eurobeat tunes. Nice album Favourite tracks: NIGHT OF FIRE, IKE IKE, SUPER EURO FLASH, AISHITERU

Voulez-Vous - ABBA Pretty people love ABBA Favourite tracks: Voulez-Vouz, Gimme Gimme Gimme!, Chiquitita, I Have A Dream

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd Solely because of Shine On You Crazy Diamond Favourite tracks: Shine On You Crazy Diamond, Wish You Were Here

The Dark Side Of The Moon - Pink Floyd How could you not love this album? All Pink Floyd albums are insanely good, though Favourite tracks: The Great Gig In The Sky, Breathe (In The Air), Brain Damage

I feel like I've put enough here LMAO, also I would've put like pictures of the album covers but I honestly can't be bothered so I'm gonna leave it here but if you actually read this then thanks!! Hopefully you like these albums too :)

[inside-the-tardis]

Back again, to drop the hottest tea of my life on a blog that I never want people to read

So I don't know the person I am, okay.

Like objectively, if one had to find oneself, I never would be able to pin point my issues and draw a conclusion. I'm simply too close to the subject and always biased.

However, within my limited understanding of an appraisal, I shall now proceed to appraise myself in a paragraph followed by a tabulated demonstration.

I believe, and I don't know how much the reader can rely on this, but I'm about 5' 3", lean, skinny and wheat ish. I have medium length hair, always unruly, sometimes unkept. I wear baggy clothing, shirts that fit me too big or baggy jeans and pants, a lot of hoodies and sweaters and one black coat that needs to be lint rolled. I never get around to it. My room is many times in constant and differing stages of disarray. Things that you will alwyas find on my bed are: my ash tray, a pack of cigarettes, plsatic baggies, lighters, for every 1 that works, there are 3 that don't, and some sort of dessert. Today it is maple and pecan pie with peanut butter cups. I love snacking and I love sweets. On my bedside table is always, two glasses of water, empty ice cream cup from yesterday, pens (for every 1 blue pen, there are 3 black pens), potpurri, my lamp, three candles of different shape, size and colour and a reed diffuser.

My other bedside table holds a Taurus crystal ball, fairy lights, another lamp , seashells and rocks I picked up from Blackpool, potpurri and two scented candles. When you enter, you can hear background music, right now you'd hear the Haider playlist, Aao Na by Vishal Dadlani. I wonder how long before I also myself begin talking to a skull for company. Arre aao na ki thak gayi hai zindagi

so jao, Followed by SOAD's chop suey, and truly one of my favourites,

I cry when angels deserve to die, in my self-righteous suicide You would think I'm constantly perterbed.

And I am indeed, by many things. This human vessel, that requires constant looking after in many separate ways, all of which I've grown more mindful and consistent about, (nutrition, hygiene, hydration and exercise). These human connections and relationships, all of which I find cumbersome and quite a handful. The human condition of needing to work for fulfillment, for wages, for something to do and worry about, and having a livelihood and so every week for 4 days I set out to make money as a health practitioner.

I also have, this house for which I pay rent, bills, tax and upkeep. Much of the maintainence, sorry, all of the maintainence and upgrades are always mine. The way I like it.

I also like gadgets, I have this phone that keeps buzzing and usually holds bad news more than good, (everybody to keep in touch with, a chore, and sometimes looking at the things everyone is doing, a true evil), a laptop where I can make magic, another laptop to churn out productivity, a digital camera and a TENS machine.

I have gym equipment, yoga mats, weights, resistance bandsz and glute bands, alot of exercise related papers and notes neatly arranged in files and organised digitally. Laundry is everywhere, mixed in with good clothes and bad, too many to name, too close to give away, and too precious to really discard. They mooch off of space like nothing else. A coat hanger with a bunch of coats, more scented candles, alot of trash papers, some old flowers, stationery of all kinds, artsy stuff, there are paintbrushes, acrylic and water colours, a paint by numbers potrait, anothesr three paintings handing about my room and three 1000 piece puzzles, all packed up. Many books line the floor, too many to name, I love to read. Bits and pieces of everything else that I liked, picked up or found somewhere all live on here. God alone knows how I will muster the strength to move out when I do, or how even would I transport all my stuff. For all these evils and many more (consumerism, capitalistic tendencies, the evils of over-spending, hedonism, or god forbid, we have some fun), I find myself leaning more and more towards the idea of minimalism.

Having said that, it is a glorious Friday and I have begun my day with glorious joint and strawberry and mango tea. I believe some chores are in order and Imust get to them . Teeth cleaning everyday twice should be mandatory. I eat the maple and pecan pie. Echoes by Pink Floyd plays in the background. It is important to remember that your thoughts are not you - whatever they may be , they are dynamic and in a state of flux. All thought processing in order for objectivity should be observation. No attachment, (no criticism? ) .

Adding important gems of learning, or pointers that I pick up day to day,

I get up a use the bathroom, i look around and roll another joint, and another. Until its 1pm. I've been smoking since 8 in the morning, relentlessly.

This habit of mine should be investigated, deeply and soon.

For now, I look around and it does not spark my attention. I;m sure this last joint will fix my mood, but what then?

Let us smoke and find out. Though nothing will change but all in my mind. As it usually is the case. Nothing will change except my willingness to do the same old chores, which i could do now, still tripping balls, or I could smoke some more, abuse and misuse my privilege and continue to then do the same old bullshit. Nothing matters, ish. I ran out of marijuana and then ordered some more. It is about 9pm now. I have spent the day: dozing off, watching multiple youtube videos, I cooked myself some fried garlic pepper egg rice, ate a whole can of peach slices, bought oat and honey bread and had three slices with sunny side up eggs, and now as the over pre0heats, I get appetised for my spinach and ricotta pizza coming up. I have chicken and fish in the fridge, with butter and jam of all kinds. I've eaten two croissants today, and almonds and Brazilian nuts side at my bedside table to snack. A single Sprite I keep in the fridge for myself. My kitchen is in dis-array. I have cleaned two shelves, two cupboards, one drawer. Two cupboards and one drawer and miscellaneous chores persist. I have also done laundry, washed and changed my linen, ironed all my work clothes and decided my outfit for once I do shower. Folded and packed all my clothes in neat piles and made myself a sweet cup of coffee. I then went downstairs to run an errand and check the post. All good news. The kitchen is in dis-array as I left my cleaning halfway to enjoy my coffee and take a break. I'm happy with the progress achieved today. I must make sure to get some reading done and prep for work tomorrow. March ends on a peaceful note. 31 March is number 4, same as my birth number. I continue watching podcasts on youtube as I smoke another joint. I've made oat and honey loaf croutons with hot creamy spicy tomato soup.

I just shuffled my master list playlist since it's my most rounded out. My others are mostly for specific Sims.

The song that popped up first:

https://open.spotify.com/track/0GrHWVTDsaWcD4nrCGr7VE?si=CkZckfGIQZW-OiZmWr1jJg

Doing this from mobile, I don't know why the link doesn't work. It's 'Lost in Hollywood's by System of a Down

Going based on main MAIN character, Orion would be the one reacting to this... He listens silently and contemplates a double meaning between the lyrics. This on is also on his own playlist. SOAD is one of, if not number 1, his favorite bands.

Going by my most Musically snobbish sim, River... He owns a record shop (in my personal Discord server) and is always willing to give things a listen at least once... But, he will tell you as it is. However, of course River likes SOAD. He would say the band itself is a B maybe a B+ because there's definitely better out there but he's never skipping when one of their songs comes on... Except maybe Chop Suey since it's been ruined by the mainstream.

📩 Simblr question of the day: Shuffle your favorite playlist, whats your oc/sims' reaction to the first song that plays?

answer in whatever way is most comfortable for you and feel free to share this SQOTD around, make sure to use the hashtag SQOTD and tag me in separate posts ~ 💛

Father, into your hands, I commend my spirit / Father, into your hands, why have you forsaken me?

[Image ID: A digital painting of Alfendi Layton's two personalities, Potty Prof and Placid Prof, facing forwards in front of a black background. They are both wearing white lab coats with a red and blue striped turtleneck sweater. Potty Prof is in front, smiling happily, with his left hand over his chest and his right hand outstretched in front of him. Placid Prof is peeking out from behind his shoulder on the right, covered in shadows. He is smiling calmly, with a finger in front of his lips to indicate silence. His other arm is stretched downwards to the left of Potty Prof and is holding a smoking gun. Smoke rises behind the two in the shape of a large question mark. The background is black with large, transparent, red text that says 'Before long, everyone will know of your crimes' repeatedly. /.End ID.]

[burningarsenic]

My Stanley headcanons because im like that (featuring some others but they're all Stanley-centric)

He likes metal/hard rock music. Idk something about his whole attitude to hippie music and the "Youth these days" has so much "Ugh modern rock is nothing like old rock" vibes

Going back to the previous one, i totally see him listening to SOAD. Especially Chop Suey, Prison Song and Sugar

Basically canon, but he has severe depression. Definitely suicide attempts. Maybe getting institutionalized if Dipper and Mabel's guide is any indication

It also persists his whole life. Even on the Stan O' War with Ford. He's not very educated on the whole mental health biz so he definitely leaves the meds on land thinking "Oh well i got what i wanted now". When Ford finds out he's turning that boat around in a heartbeat

His bond with Dipper is almost just as strong as with Mabel. Dipper is just very insecure about being coddled and seen as "inferior". So Stanley opts to be cold and harsh with him to try and make Dipper feel independent and grown-up

Also i feel like Stanley sees a bit of himself in Dipper. Ready to sacrifice everything for his dumb sibling, having this inherent feeling of inferiority and has a hard time trusting people

I feel like he was involved in some drug-dealing business

A common one, but he kept in touch with their mother from time to time. That's how he got Ford's number

Continuing with the previous, but Stanley had a very meaningful bond with Caryn. Maybe she was one of the only people who genuinely saw good in him. Assuming she passes away while he's still posing as Ford he definitely attends her funeral. Just to say thank you and apologize. Apologize for making her suffer so much because of his, he thinks, selfish actions

Soos knows much more than he lets on. Stan told him about as much of his life as he could, or Soos found out himself. Soos is just too loyal to tell anyone, even when he sees that Stanley keeping secrets is backfiring horrendously

In turn, Stanley knows way too much about Soos. He rarely shows it, but when he does, it's "accidentally" shoplifting his favorite candy or "i had this old thing lying around" and it's the newest copy of a videogame Soos wanted badly. Soos never comments on it

I don't think he's a father figure to Wendy. More of a friend, really. The mature one in a friend group who loves to cause mischief but knows when to stop before anyone hurts themselves. Wendy can tell him things she'd never tell her real dad or family

If we're talking canon, then i hc him as aroace. But unlike Ford, he's the kind that desperately wants to feel romantic attraction, have a lifelong partner, get married, maybe even kids. He just never could, not even because of the circumstance, but because of his own brain chemistry. He accepts that part of himself when he and Ford set sail though. Who needs romance when you have your favorite person in the world right by your side?

He always had an interest in science/space. It just got suppressed by other people constantly telling him that he shouldn't like this thing, it's for smart people and not him. He also never really understood the hyper-academic wording in textbooks. But rebuilding the portal kind of reignited that spark. And now he gets into arguments with Ford over which solar system planet is superior and why

He also sometimes corrects Ford's mistakes. Think that Adventure Time moment where Finn is able to solve a problem because Bubblegum got too caught up in her genius

He's very touch-starved. And also loves physical intimacy, no matter how much he denies it. That's why he and Ford are often clinging to each other for absolutely no reason. Simple touches like hair ruffles and hands on shoulders and silent comfort that the other is here. I love these guys.

He has memory lapses. They're never going away but they do get easier to handle. But the fear of "What if this is the last time" never fades. That's why he keeps a personal diary addressed to himself. In case he never remembers again

Similarly, he goes through a bit of an identity crisis when he's erased. He's not the type to delve too deep into philosophical and pointless questions and yet something keeps telling him "Is he really Stanley if he can't remember his own name half the time"

I'm very passionate abt my autism headcanons... There's gonna be some Ford in these because you can't say "Autism headcanons in Gravity Falls" and not say "Stanford Pines"

He's autistic and has a special interest in boating. I hc him to definitely know how to build a whole vessel from scratch, remember the names of very specific things and constantly corrects Ford when he calls the galley a kitchen. When Ford complains he just cackles and says "This is how i felt growing up with you, suck it up for once"

Also boxing

Stan and Ford don't even talk to each other half the time on the Stan O' War. They will sit on the dock and stare into the distance like "Did you know that while hotter stars usually have bluish colors, blue flame on earth isn't nessesarily hotter than regular one?" "A ship and a boat's difference lies solely in their weight. A boat is a vessel that weighs under 500 tones and a ship weighs more than that obviously" and neither register what the other have said

Stanley is very invested in social behavior. Ford on the other hand is the complete opposite. This leads to Stanley reading other people better than any neurotypical does and Ford to have no social perception skills whatsoever

Stan never gets a diagnosis. I feel like Ford does. Eventually. Or in his 20s. Ford never talks to Stan about how they're literally two sides of the same coin. He just lets him feel safe and figure everything out on his own terms. Stan knows but never mentions it either

They also find unique ways to deal with their mutual issues. Offering a cup of coffee as a way of saying "I'm sorry", a lighthearted punch to the shoulder as a way of saying "It's ok, i forgive you". Neither are good with communicating, and especially hearing the other out but who cares. They're both old and mentally ill and neurodivergent
