Batman Script wip

I think he deserves to be a little[very] autistic

I'll probably tidy up the diologue here and there, maybe add some more idk i just need to get it out of my head first

(BTW this is for my 1920's batman comic of which the current working title is "Gotham: In a Bottle". Since I finally got the arching done I'm getting to woek on the script and will probably be sharing bits of it here and there)

btw you can buy blood from butchers, I know this bc I took a forensic science class and we bought 16 gallons of it . . .

Eddie has adhd, his gf is autistic. auhd power couple bby

POWER COUPLE

They keep each other calm in their own ways

Nobody understands them like they do

One day you just sat next to Eddie at lunch and hellfire is so confused and Eddie is like “oh this is my girlfriend” *hellfire minds blown*

Eddie fidgets a lot so reader would give him her hand to play with

Reader gets overwhelmed with loud sounds or coward places so Eddie would pull them into a bear hug and cover their eyes while pulling them away from the madness

Sorry this one probably sucked I am not too good writing at adhd or autism butttt I am learning and would love to hear more about this power couple.

[sh3nlong-promakh0s]

the only characters in the avatar/lok universe who are most likely autistic areeee....

honestly desna and eska lmao sorry not sorry (this is a headcanon obviously anyway)

[exilynn]

Hey, loves. I brought some HEADCANON'S from my BOOK;AU with Eddie. This is nothing more satisfying (it's all to promote my content and have some fun)

(FLIGHT OF ICARUS- LOVE'S DRAGONS

Being in a relationship with Eddie from the perspective of Flight of Icarus - Loves Dragons

🏹 It's not a good idea to talk about other guys who resemble him— Eddie is a card-carrying jealous type. He respects you, but he can't help wanting to be the only guy in your life!

🏹 The love between you two is mutual, and the passion is intense and frightening. You would die for each other. But maybe it's just a "fantasy," and you're both aware of the limits of wanting each other in your lives.

🏹 From Eddie's perspective, everything you do can excite him, just like in The Police's song Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic.

🏹 You and he have a few things in common, even in music. Like your shared love for Iron Maiden, Depeche Mode, and more.

🏹 You're the center of his world, and he tries not to overdo it to avoid scaring you, but he ends up being a damn last romantic anyway.

🏹 Eddie found the same comfort in you that he has in Wayne, and he sees that as a gift after feeling like he was 'cursed' his whole life.

🏹 That time you played D&D into the early hours, he surprised you with his courage and determination. He believed in your abilities, but you definitely hooked him (forever?).

🏹 Since you write, he teases you, pestering to read your writings because he knows what they're about (erotic literature/drama).

🏹 The fights, a key point: Eddie knows he acts immaturely in some of them, but you always find a way to understand each other again despite the complexities. And those fights are "resolved" in bed, that’s it.

🏹 You "stripped" his soul and calmed the "dragons," and he couldn't be more grateful. (He lost his virginity with you.)

🏹 Despite his 'corroded' childhood and youth, Eddie gives his heart and soul to you, as if it's not much, but it would be his everything.

🏹 Not being used to affection and interest, you were the only girl who cared about his past jobs. Like when he told you, embarrassed, about working as a bartender for a while on the east side of Howling, but you looked at him as if he were your treasure, and you were the dragon that would protect him.

🏹 Eddie knows how to provoke jealousy by saying nonsense, never intending to belittle you. But he brags about his past and that damn "romantic adventures" diary.

🏹 He says stupid things like, "I'm not Kurt Cobain, but I'd kinda take a bullet for you."

🏹 Raised by women, he’s completely respectful towards all women he interacts with. And don’t worry, he’ll be there for you if you're dealing with a terrible PMS (even if it means challenging your red dragon within).

🏹 Eddie is never quite sure if you enjoy his world—I mean, you brought the comfort he never had in childhood with his dad. So he sees you as a significant attachment figure.

🏹 He knows, he just knows where to touch you if he wants to stir a mix of excitement and confusion.

🏹 Eddie loves a light BDSM game when you grab his handcuffs off the wardrobe and show him who's boss (he enjoys that role reversal).

🏹 He would show you Hot Wheels collections you used to play with and a bunch of junk he kept somewhere from the old mechanic shop where he worked with Wayne as a teenager. It's all part of the flirting, trust me.

🏹 He would joke about how you ignore him and give attention to "non-living" things, referring to "stupid devices" that don't entertain you.

🏹 He always makes sure to check on you, and if he suspects you're not okay, he'll find any excuse to cheer you up and help you shut off from your problems.

🏹 He’s a big, romantic lover, and when he’s high, he creates entire semi-intellectual debates (the perfect opportunity since he's a nerd). "The guys from Athens looked like they were wearing grandma's clothes they bought at a thrift store" (probably in a discussion about Socrates and the academy).

🏹 One of the worst things he can see is you crying, so be aware that he'll make you laugh (after you’ve sobbed and he’s hugged you tight).

🏹 The whole thing about him seeing himself as the town's (freak) because of Jason and his crew (Jason, you bastard). Eddie doesn’t feel like that anymore —the horrendous creature—since he fell in love with you and you brought emotional stability into his life.

🏹 When he runs out of creativity for songs and crumples up papers but then reconsiders because you taught him a sacred (fake, made-up by you) proverb: the "I should."

🏹 Eddie is the type of "star lover," so he’ll invite you, in the middle of the night, after you’ve bundled up, to stargaze (because he appreciates you and couldn’t be more comfortable comparing you to them).

🏹 He’s the noise guy, but he doesn’t mind spending some quiet time when he's with you. Putting on some slow music, whether to dance or just to enjoy the moment in the trailer with you.

🏹 He’d probably have a custom necklace made for you and give you his skull ring, even though he sees it as his "lucky charm."

🏹 He’s a tease, that’s the word. If you want to sit still for a while, fiddling with something that isn’t him, he’ll bug you until you pay attention (needy but mature enough to understand space).

🏹 He lightly squeezes the back of your neck when you're anxious—the neck and shoulders are the tensest parts of your body, and he knows it. Besides your restless legs, which he calms by holding them with caresses.

🏹 He loves that "hit and return" game, like when you challenge him to a silly duel.

🏹 Eddie protects you at all costs; if you have unfaithful friends, he’ll choose you over them every time. Anyone who harms your honor is no longer worthy.

🏹 If he sees someone circling you with malicious intent, he’ll pull you away from what he calls a threat to his Punk Fairy/Banshee.

🏹 He would dedicate anything to make you feel like the most badass, strong, and beautiful woman in the world… especially in his little world.

If you guys like it, I'll bring some of the best quotes he said in the book <3

[aussiellama]

Anthony Vaughn ADHD and Autism headcannons

(I am not diagnosing him)

(I am diagnosed autistic, but not within ADHD nor do I believe I have it)

Chews on everything

Pens (has had many explode on him)

Sleeves

Rubbers

Cheek/lip

Owns chewrly but only uses at Spider's house.

Loves drawing and would do it on the walls as a kid.

At school he fidgets with his pens, bounces his legs.

At Spider's or when home alone he is a big vocal stimmer

Stim- hands flaps, rocks, bounces

He has echolalia

He hyperfixates on movie, tv shows, songs

He can't infodump at home and he struggles to write his thoughts down so he unleashes on Spider.

He has Auditory processing disorder

Is quite gullible

He has been picked on a few times but thought they were just joking around with him.

He's a big sensory seeker and is always eating sour foods and drinking fizzy drinks

He touches everything.

Is scared of storms as they cause sensory overloads.

Hates the sound of clocks ticking (same)

Hates itchy clothes.

Will often forgot a word when speaking and has to use other ones

As mentioned above I am not trying to diagnose him this is just for fun as I seen others headcannon him with ADHD and I've read a couple of fanfics where he is autistic.

I do not adhd so if I've said something that doesn't sit right with you please let me know.

Feel free to share any headcannons you have and if there is enough I'll make a part 2.

[honkshoo-zzz]

mm oddly specific tf2 headcanons in no particular order based around a fic i’m writing (some NSFW, so be warned, and some courtesy of @officialbananabro and our joint brainrot):

• sniper is an insomniac due to trauma-induced OCD. he has to check all windows and doors before going to sleep, and even then often ends up just keeping surveillance out the window all night because he can’t sleep

• scout runs for fun: helps get rid of excess energy and has just been doing it forever so he’ll jog around base if it gets particularly slow work-wise.

• scout is a comic-book enjoyer. what comics he likes are up to individual discretion, as i don’t know enough about em to pick em

• spy is a SLUT who is afraid of commitment (hence running from scout’s mom when he. made scout, and probably fucking a couple of the other mercs)

• sniper has a mullet. i don’t CARE what the official art says. THAT MAN HAS BUSINESS IN THE FRONT AND A PARTY IN THE BACK

• spy is a bottom fuck you

• sniper is NOT into piss but WILL make jokes about it and WILL NOT DENY IT when it’s brought up

• soldier cannot comprehend that two mercs would be fucking until it’s literally spelled out for him. he’s not homophobic he’s just a lil slow

• medic and heavy have been happily married for (probably) decades

• medic knows ALL of the hot-goss around base. he knows who’s fuckin who, and who knows about it, and who is SUPPOSED TO know about it. and he relays all of this information to heavy during brunch cause he thinks it’s funny

• sniper and medic are autistic, scout has adhd, soldier and demo have PTSD, and somehow spy is perfectly mentally healthy besides having mommy AND daddy issues (probably)

• engie is smart enough to determine who’s hiding relationships around base, but is polite and minds his business

• basically everyone knows sniper is fucking spy, and when he starts bonin’ scout, EXCEPT for soldier. and when sniper and scout announce their relationship soldier’s the only one to be like “WOW CONGRATULATIONS BOYS WHO WOULDA THUNK” but everyone else is unfazed

• medic is a HUGE masochist and likes heavy *literally* throwing him around the room during sex. like homelander-stormfront chucking-through-the-wall type shit. heavy’s not as into it but it makes medic happy so he does it

• spy also enjoys getting his hair pulled, but won’t take the mask off during sex so his partner has to do it from under the mask/use the mask instead (without pulling it off)

• scout and miss pauling, after scout confesses and miss pauling rejects him due to being lesbian (among other reasons, but that’s the biggest one), they become gay besties and scout goes to her for advice on sniper n they gossip n such

• however miss pauling being miss pauling already knows pretty much everything before scout gets to her so she’ll just. give the advice before he can even ask it. example:

s: “hey, miss pauling, can I ask you sum’?”

mp: “i can’t help you nor sniper with sniper’s ocd-induced insomnia, that’s something he needs to work on himself before i, let alone you, go butting into it. give him time, and be patient, and he’ll come to you when he’s ready.”

s:

s, stars in his eyes: “wow you’re good”

• also pyro, of course, knows everything but is too busy hosting tea parties and setting her guests on fire to do anything about it. shorty is living his best, aro-ace life, unproblematic and slaying.

ok i think that’s it for now. feel free to add i think these guys are silly and need as much content as possible thank you uwu

[ripleylove]

pairings: the judgment day x austistic fem reader.

genre: fluff!

summary: Damian,Rhea,Finn and Dominik couldn't live without you,and their little gestures demonstrated it.

A/N: final exam in 2 days. im not happy. i hope this ends soon cause im gonna smash my head on a chandelier.

this is a kinda headcanon type of thing? I hope it's okay!!

The love you felt around you was special.

You didn't feel different like your previous partners made you feel,you just felt right with them.

The way they made efforts to make you happy was heartwarming,and you couldn't help but fall for them even more.

Damian never failed to make you feel special,his big and strong figure protecting your clumsy one.

The two of you always baked cookies together,and he was always careful about any textures that could bother you.

Also,the way his arms wrapped around you was ethereal,caging you in his protectiveness and his strength.

When you would watch the stars with Finn, you always made a wish and then you kissed,sealing the promise to have each other with a love forever true.

If you felt down and you felt like clouds were in your head,Finn didn't make it a big deal,no,he just tried his best to comfort you while staying in bed,your forever safe place.

When you got hurt, Finn was always be the one to put a cute little bandage where you got hurt,kissing it better after.

With Dominik,life was never boring. He always had fun things to do (some of them extremely stupid,but since it's Dominik we're talking about,it isn't even surprising.), that the both of you would always do.

He was super jealous,in public would always try to be close to you,Damian,Finn and Rhea to show that they're taken and loved.

If people in public made you feel overwhelmed,he always took your hand and took you to the nearest cafe to buy you a boba,not without telling his other partners,of course.

And,finally,Rhea. She always did your make up, experimenting with new styles and new colors that weren't in your comfort zone,to try something new. And,of course, you also did hers.

At lunch time,when the five of you were eating,she always shared half of her food with you,lovingly feeding it to you.

As always,she would softly trace the tip of her nails on your neck while you were cuddling,especially when you needed some stimming. It would give you chills,and your giggles never failed to make her smile.

The four of them were completely delighted when they were with you,each moment spent with you was simply wonderful.

The love they had for you and for each other was incredible,the world for them could not go on if you weren't with them,so every night they prayed to never lose you.

You were the reason they woke up in the morning,and, especially,you were the sunshine on a dark day.

Other than yourself what are your TOP 5 writers on Tumblr?

Ooooof good question (I don’t consider myself a top 5 writer btw!)- these are in no particular order but:

Well a go-to reread for me is anything by @girlgenius1111 (not ashamed to say I have cried at her Sol stuff) - the way she writes is so incredible and she has a good mix of platonic and romantic stories too

Also @wileys-russo is another one that springs to mind - Fresa makes me cry and also makes my heart happy too and her romantic stories are 10/10 too (the latest Alexia angst with the marriage proposal and time skip to a baby?!?!?! Ugh my heart)

@mj0702 is another - ngl I would do almost anything for BB (Baby Bronze) and her writing is absolutely brilliant (the humour is so funny yet she manages to get the vulnerability across too)

Another writer is @woso-dreamzzz - all her stories are absolutely insane but I especially love Princesse (the big adventures series), Second Times A Charm, Pup and Cub - but I also love her head canons and elaborations etc that she does (10/10)

I also really like reading @flemingsfreckles (specifically Better Boyfriend than Him and Replacement but all of her stuff is really good)

I have way more than 5 that spring to mind but these are some stories that are fantastic:

@vamos-meadema - the checkmate series is elite highly recommend a read

@enwoso - her Grumpy universe is so beautiful

@vixwritesagain - rush is so good and her headcanons and expansion of the universe she’s created is amazing

@starrynights-sunnyskies - her Misa x Putellas!R social media stuff is so good

@jflemings - all of her Jessie fics r beautiful but I love Piper’s World

@wosounited - love her stuff too and she’s in the middle of reposting old stuff (with some edits) and some newer things too I believe but I love her stories too

@ceesimz - I love her austistic!R content and it’s so beautifully written too

Some other writers that deserve shout outs too:

@afterglowkatie

@ktgoodmorning

@hgfictionwriter

@lessi-lover

@inuyashaluver

And my bestie @lyak12

Forehead smooches to anyone that writes anything - you are all very loved

[dysfunctional-doodle]

too many turtles made me headcanon mutant mayhem mikey as having dyscalculia :]

do you have any neurodivergence headcanons for the turtles you want to share? (can be about what they have or what they do)

I hc mutant mayhem Donnie and Mikey as austistic (they literally had the autism rep stickers in the concept art for both of them so it’s kinda canon to me), and so are most of the Donatellos in some way, some higher on the spectrum than others because…it’s Donatello. Just like how I hc that most Michelangelos have ADHD or ADD, I see it not as a trait that defines their character but a trait that has helped build their personality in the best way possible :)

Also, mutant mayhem leo I hc as having an anxiety disorder that, like some anxiety disorders often do unfortunately, worsens as he grows more mature. And I hc that 2003 Leo suffered from depression in season 4 and still has episodes that his brothers help with. I actually have included this aspect in my future design of him - he has his brothers’ mask tails woven with his own to remind him that he is not alone and will always be supported by them.

And finally, Raphael. I hc that 2003 Raphael also has autism, hence his struggles with controlling his emotions and frustrations at change (for example, he was very uncomfortable in Fast Forward, when they travelled to the future).

Obviously no one has to agree with these, I only really hc them to aid me in writing their characters rather than draw attention/label any of the bros in Too Many Turtles just by these neurodivergencies

Feel free to discuss your own hcs, or disagree with mine! I am sorry if I offend anyone with any of these, I am very eager for some reeducation if I have accidentally offended anyone :)

YES I LOVED IT.

I feel Eddie went under the radar for a lot of people due to his dads rep, so when it came to getting support for adhd people swept it under the rug and just assumed he was a bad seed. most people see him jumping his legs in class struggling to pay attention and just assume he’s a bad kid, not that he maybe needs support or anything. and when it comes to studying oh my god he can’t with all the words and focusing for hours on end, when he first started hs he would try to study and have his books open then one thing led to another and his books are forgotten while he makes a thing of Mac and cheese. that’s why when he starts trying to graduate the third time he really tries but feels defeated when his brain just doesn’t want to cooperate with him. which is where his gf comes in, who somehow sees things differently then others and suggests weird tips to help study. and holy shit it works for him. for the first time he’s studying and retaining shit. he’s slowly passing his courses, if only by bringing his f to a c, but hey it’s still passing!

Eddie knows she’s known as the weird girl, quiet and keep to herself but passionate about certain topics. she usually avoids the cafeteria during lunch because the sounds and smells are too much, opting for the library to start homework and listen to music. Eddie is fascinated by how different she sees things, sometimes suggesting weird things that always work. it’s like everyone else is operating inside a box and she’s already broken free from hers, or so he thinks. and god does he love when she just kind of cuts to the chase, blunt as fuck not afraid to say what’s on her mind. when ever he’s feeling down about himself he knows she’ll tell it to him straight without worrying about sugar coating it. sometimes he doesn’t understand her hyperfixations but he’s always willin to lend her an ear, not caring if it’s something he doesn’t care about, as long as she’s passionate about it. sometimes, when she doesn’t have the energy to mask and kind of shuts off, he loves when she just walks up to him and buries her face into his chest, letting him hold her tightly as she recharged (as she calls it)

sorry you inspired me <3

I love thisss😭❤️

Eddie and reader are so misunderstood but they get each 🫶🏼

They know when each other need their recharge.

I wish I had more so say I love this couple🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

Man, I don’t watch Dungeon Meshi (yet), but from what I’ve seen…

Laios is indeed perfect autism rep, and that one scene from this week’s episode solidified that.

His anger at being treated like an idiot by Shuro just because he didn’t know how to read the signs that he was bugging him, the hurt he must have felt having the rug pulled under him upon realizing a potential friend wanted nothing to do with him, it...totally didn't remind me of how hard it was (and still is) for me to make friends in a place I just moved into, thinking I finally found some only to get the premonition that they secretly can't stand me because I got a little too excited about having found a place of belonging...

Yeah...totally not a huge "that's me" moment...not one bit at all...

It was. And you know what? I feel heard, to an extent.

Point is, I should get to watching this show soon, Laios is joining my austistic headcanons as of this moment, and Labru is the best ship.

[appleflavoredkitkats]

do you have any headcanons on what russell went through during his time with the utopians?

HELLO ISSY!! im in the middle of plotting my version of ivywood so i have SOME things... but not everything is fully fleshed out! here r some of them (under the cut!)

since it's sort of implied that russell's been raised there since birth/childhood, i feel like his parents only joined because they were struggling financially, which the utopians would have aided

i do think russell would have HATED the strict regulations at a young age. like obviously, he would still grow to adapt to some things (ie. desperate need to prove himself worthy, because the utopians would have deprived that of their followers) but to me, russell is just too much of a curious child. he wouldn't have kept his curiosities at bay, especially since he loved learning about more mind-boggling things like cryptic codes, linguistics, the human brain, etc. at a young age

i think this guy! would have been a very lonely child! esp since he's austistic and trans! since he's afab, i feel like his autism diagnosis would have come in late (like maybe 10 years old?) and that's the same time he would have realized he was trans. so he basically became a disappointment amongst the utopians. like parents would tell their kids that russell would be the child NOT to imitate u get me

but i feel like as much as i think russell would come out of this with insecurities, i think his pride is one of the reasons that got him out of there in the first place? and i mean, call him egotistical all you want, but the last thing russell would want to do is doubt his capabilities because that's EXACTLY what the utopians would have wanted.

in my version of ivywood, i made "once upon a crime" happen AFTER "wild wild death" because i hc that trevor neuman was responsible for russell's interest in psychology. but don't get it twisted, he doesn't rlly like the kid- rather, the higher-ups in utopia saw potential in his intelligence and wanted to profit off of that. to me, russell might have possibly made the foundations for their brainwashing mechanism, but russell himself doesn't realize that it actually works

i do think russell was genuinely close to his parents, although they don't get along all the time because the two are depressed servants of the cult. i do think russell would have had a closer bond to his mother though. i'd like to think she actually helped russell escape at 16. the only reason she didn't go with him was because she wanted to convince jupiter to go with her, but he adamantly refused out of fear.

the higher-ups definitely knew that caroline (russell's mom) assisted his escape and so they would have murdered her and framed it as an accident. when this happened, they utilized jupiter's grief to make him stay in utopia even longer.

after hearing news about his mom's death, russell would have sneakily watched the funeral from afar. that's when he received the note that says he has nowhere to hide.

i need to flesh this out even more, but i definitely think russell reached out to the pbpd after he escaped. i think it would be funny if andrea assigned frank to look after him, at least up until russell finds a secure job to move out lol. there is a reason these two are at each other's throats all the time !

to return to the utopians though, i genuinely think that the fact russell was raised in a cult fucked up his sense of identity and vulnerability, in a sense that. this mfker HATES showing his true self to anyone in fear of it being used against him. his flirty, manipulative mask is definitely just. a mask. because it's a survival skill he developed after escaping !

moreover i do think he gets impostor syndrome sometimes because as much as he's a genuinely prideful person, sometimes he thinks he feels the need to grab everyone's attention because he was so deprived of it when he was young. so sometimes he does have to grapple with that, because he HATES thinking that a part of him is still disgustingly utopian
