I'm being DEAD serious here guys. Make problematic ocs. I'm telling you. It's so much fun. And easier to get invested in them sometimes because they really STICK OUT in your brain. You fall in love with them.

For help developing problematic ocs try out these two methods

Method one: think of a problematic choice your oc will make. This could be; abandoning their children, killing a sibling, siding with the oppressor whatever. Work backwards from there. What are the implications of someone who would make that decision.

Method two: give them a motivation and work forwards from there. For example; they have the motivation to survive no matter what, they need to be the ruler of their society, they will not go against a specific religious/moral code etc. now make sure every decision they ever make is in line with that and crucially put things in their way that'll make them make fucked up decisions to get what they want.

Now! You have! A fucked up oc! And you will love them! I promise

lucanis is a 'I could sit in our quiet kitchen on a grey tuesday afternoon drinking coffee and talking with you about nothing much in particular forever and be the happiest man who ever lived' romantic, not a 'classic tropes and grand gestures' romantic. this is a distinction and conceptual gap I personally feel is crucial to understanding what's going on with him when romanced. for all his almost painful sincerity and clear depth of feeling he's not a very effusive guy by nature, but in the history of time no one has ever, with their whole soul, chest and being, been so genuinely and openly happy to just do laundry and taxes with you.

homestuck was so perfect for autistic teenagers bc it took characters being sorted into categories and having Attributes to its absolute extreme. forget four hogwarts houses, every character has their associated colour their zodiac sign their associated animal their dream planet their god tier class and aspect their typing quirk their pesterchum handle their weapon their planet of x and y, as well as each of them having a handful of other very quantifiable Personality Traits and Interests (e.g. this one is a clown this one is angry this one likes fashion this one is just rufio from hook for some reason) and THEN they all also have their respective ancestors and dancestors(?)(plucked that word from my memory) who have all of those things as WELL

and god not to mention the fucking quadrant system

as a 13-15 year old autistic kid i didnt even need homestuck to have a plot i just happily made a big big spreadsheet of character attributes in my brain

this is still the funniest way to start a romance in a video game possibly ever

Absolutely GINORMOUS art dump of sketches and sneak peeks I don't think will see the light of day ever / any time soon.. Tried my best to sort them by relevance to each other! Please look at the inner workings of my mind over the past at least 12 months

Quick scribble cos I couldn’t get blushing Emmy out of my head. He’s thinking about stuff.

i swear i will draw something normal with them but for now bear with my crack doodles and silly headcanons...

anyway. hear me out. awkward prowl makes sense. awkward prowl is cute. but i need more awkward jazz bc that is just so so funny to me. i mean...

i mean he flirts with his crush for thousands of years and then his crush suddenly does it back?? and he doesn't know what to do next??? all these years and he really hasn't once thought about what to do if prowl will decide to reciprocate his feelings??? and listen. jazz is always collected and confident, he is very very cool guy, he's able to find a way out of any situation, improvisation is his specialty... BUT sometimes even he can be caught off guard. and it happens so not often that in such moments he just turns into a deer in the headlights

I'm on my fourth Woman Married a Loser and Tried Her Best but Died for It and Now She's Back drama (Marry My Husband, Blossom, The Double, Perfect Marriage Revenge) and I love it, I love it, I love it. Because you can feel the feminine rage radiating from the screen. These women swallowed the lie that they were the problem in their marriage. They forgave and excused and bent over backwards just like society told them to and it didn't work. It was never going to work. In the end, nothing they did mattered and their precious lives were still seen as disposable. And now they are back and they are furious and it's great.

seeing other people’s descriptions of dr ratio wanting to ‘cure stupidity’ is so fucking startling. what the fuck do you mean you think he’d equate having emotions and caring for other individuals as stupidity when his entire ideal is caring for and wanting the best for humanity.

Love it when jupeter fics doesn't make Nureyev more important to Juno than Rita. like that's his best friend that's the woman that got him out of bedrock and gave him a second chance multiple times in 20 years. The reason he is a detective.

im sorry but eli saying that caltech not having demetri was the ONLY thing keeping it from being his number one choice and that making demetri reconsider going to mit without eli because its NOT his number one without his number one... thats romance baby

Tuvok is not as autistic coded in-narrative compared to what I've seen of Spock or T'Pol where they're othered heavily by those around them and have themes and arcs about struggling/striving to fit in BUT I do think he provides the vital autistic representation of not really angsting about your differences from other people because you're too busy and unaware and then even when you ARE made aware you mostly just think 'glad that's not me'. I think it's vital to have that sort of totally unbothered rep. I love that Tuvok is completely satisfied and proud of being Vulcan, doesn't long to experience emotion or struggle with a desire to express himself in a way his crewmates will understand, to be closer to them. I love that he has a long time and close friend that respects who he is and doesn't try to change him and that how close they are isn't framed as being in spite of his Vulcan nature. I love that being Vulcan isn't framed as a hindrance to him, like a roadblock to living a full and rich life. He has a wife and four kids and is a devoted husband and father. He's getting into gay horror scenarios. Tuvok was born on autism planet and he's thriving.
