I JUST HAD AN IDEA

Hear me out. Nothing is worse than being at work and thinking 'shit, did I turn of the oven? Are there no more lit candles? Is the hair fryer still plugged in?'

So. At your front door there hangs a screen, with little leds that can make letters, like one of those fast food LED signs. (But not the moving letters)

On your phone, there is an app with a checklist you make yourself.

Candles: lit

Oven: on

Hairstraightner: plugged in

They are checked on the app as 'active' meaning that the LED on your front door says these things in big letters. So you cannot leave your home without seeing them.

If you blow out the candles, you can check them on the app, and the LED no longer shows these.

When you have uncheked them all, you can leave your house (you can before as well, but now there are no angry red letters glaring at you)

Once at work, you can open the app in 'LED display mode', which shows the state of your LED. If all is well, nothing should show.

Maybe even an additional feature that makes the app beep angrily if you are a certain distance from the LED and things aren't unchecked

Any tips for feeling more comfortable needing communication tools? And having to carry a backpack with my stuff? (Noise cancelling headphones,fidgets,glasses wipe, communication cards,etc.)

I just can't bring myself to using these tools,to the point where I either leave for air or I just force myself to talk in simple sentences and then melt down once I get home

I do love Murderbot's complete failure to articulate itself in a comforting manner XD Or rather, I love that it tries - it's consciously trying to comfort its clients, and just... doesn't have the toolbox for it.

Which leads to moments like the end of episode 8 where it strides in and announces "I have a plan!" only to see everyone jump and cower at its sudden appearance, so it backpedals and tries again, but... doesn't know what to do, so just ends up going "I have... a plan..." like it got partway through "oops, gotta say this better" and then realized it didn't actually have a way to do that and just ended up repeating itself but like, slightly quieter.

Or episode 7, when it's trying to get them to the hopper and goes for a "softer approach" (helmet down, like they keep asking, emphasize the danger) only to immediately lose track of its expression and tone and only catch up to having threatened them after the words are out. And then backpedaling again to clarify that it meant the bad guys...

Like, it's clearly trying SO HARD to get its clients through this mess intact and also feeling safe! With Murderbot! Because it's their SecUnit, and it wants to help, but more than that, it wants them to not be afraid of it (obviously ONLY because scared people are more likely to do something stupid, not because Murderbot's formed some kind of - bleh - emotional connection to them). But it just. Doesn't know what to say.

So it tries anyway and that just translates to it being so awkward and I love it.

Hello! I came across your blog recently, and all I've done is go through it because your hc's are so well-written and thought out. There was this one post I saw a while back on tumblr and it immediately made me think THATS SNEEP!! It's about struggles with verbal affection. The other part of the post talked about how kids on the spectrum have different ways of showing affection, and as someone who works in education, I really do think that its true. I would love to hear what you think!

I. ADORE. THIS. 👆💚

Like you have no idea. First of all this is super cute in itself but this is EXACTLY the type of mechanism that could benefit Severus and bypass his communication struggles. He has A LOT of feelings, but a lifetime of hardships silencing him (alongside his potential autism and personality) and I'm sure he might be a bit frustrated if his partner tells him they sometimes doubt his feelings for them.

Because he loves them. He truly does. He's extremely loyal and devoted.

Not being able to convey it would be super frustrating for him. Like he'd know he's partly to blame but he could also deflect and accuse them of not trusting him.

But this, would be the best idea. I'm sure he'd start doing it all the time too. Three taps in passing. Three taps on their desk. Three clinks against the porcelain when he gives them their tea mug. Three taps on their pillow as they read together in bed. Three taps against their belly as they're curled up in the dark. Three taps of his spoon against the table during breakfast while his eyes are still on the Morning Prophet. Three taps on their cheek as they're cupping each other's face.

He could even use it to say 'I love this part of you' in bed if he's too uncomfortable. Like three soft taps on the lips. Three taps on their thighs. Three taps on a mole.

Or to compliment a part of their outfit. Three taps on their little glass brooch as they're getting ready for a conference. So many words and emotions conveyed with a simple wordless gesture. It's perfect. He'd love it.

This is the ultimate headcanon for healthy post-war Snape.

I 300% back this.

Also thank you for your kind words about my posts, I am twirling my hair, so happy you enjoy my blog and thank you so much for sharing this with us. I'm howling.

giving my thoughts and ideas on Ratio's character stories

I wouldn't call this much of an analysis but we'll see how it goes

Starting out with his first character story, most of it is Professor Rond's recommendation letter.

I'd like to start by sharing my thoughts about Ratio and Rond first before actually getting into dissecting the letter itself.

So, firstly, I'd like to mention that (to my knowledge) we have never heard of or from Ratio's parents. I find that ironic considering what a big shot he is, I doubt that his parents would ever willingly shut up about their son.

Reading that Rond had a 'significant influence on Ratio's upbringing' particularly stands out to me because, at least at the time of the original letter being written, Ratio was in secondary school (Grade 9-12, though some of the wording in the letter lead me to believe he was likely on the lower end of that range).

Now, a high school teacher having a 'significant influence' on someone's upbringing isn't necessarily uncommon, nor are old teachers proud of their past students becoming extremely successful. However these points, alongside the fact that Ratio's parents are nowhere to be seen in canon, lead me to believe that there was some sort of familial relationship between them, especially seeing Rond's reaction to being asked about Ratio as well as how he had kept the original letter.

Moving on to the actual letter.

Grade skipping is a pretty common practice where I'm from, as it allows learning at the appropriate/needed level (ignoring the fact that the school system is in shambles).

However, the way this is phrased is as if Rond were trying to convince him to be able to skip grades. If he were in grade 11 or 12 I feel like it would not have been phrased this way, which is what leads me to believe he was likely younger, possibly fresh out of middle school.

The highlight on creativity is just because it makes me smile honestly, also it ties into one of my earlier posts about how I think Ratio would adore the subject of art.

I would like to return to my point of Rond being a potential parental figure to Ratio, seeing as he seems to know his daily routine well enough to confidently write about it in his letter of recommendation.

On to his second character story, which is mostly online posts in a thread-like format.

It wasn't until his eighth doctoral degree that he was awarded with First Class Honors, also since he is the first person to receive such in two amber eras it means he was likely the only one on stage at that time.

It also states that at the time he was already a prominent figure in society, which doesn't surprise me given the accomplishments listed by Rond in the letter despite him being in high school at the time it was written. However, he would most likely be an adult by the time he finished his eighth doctorate.

No real comment on this I found it funny that they put etc instead of continuing to list fields.

I also just find these funny and wanted to share them, but the disagreement on the last comment shows how much people admire him. I feel like that's a topic that's rather watered down in the fandom, but people genuinely admire Ratio a lot and there's plenty of reason for them to.

full-time university teachers tend to teach about 5 courses per academic year, meaning Ratio has been teaching for about 10 years.

Moving onto the third story, which is a statement from a former assistant of his about his desire to join the genius society.

I find this to be an interesting point, it seems like joining the Genius Society would be an obvious next step for a man with so many accomplishments but it's stated not once, but twice that he has never spoken about the subject (to the public at least).

I am a believer in the theory that Ratio hasn't been allowed into the Genius Society due to his humanity/compassion and his desire to spread knowledge to everyone, and I feel like this specification that he's never spoken about the topic could add to this theory.

This paragraph never fails to break my heart, but I do want to talk about the mention of an anti-planetary weapon. I feel like this Anti-planetary weapon that he spent years perfecting was a final attempt at proving to Nous that he wasn't too compassionate or too humane to receive their gaze. I remember reading about this idea more in detail elsewhere and if I can find the analyzation then I'll link it here.

Also, I feel like deep down he always knew that he wouldn't be accepted into the Genius Society, but this day, as Margaret states, was the day he finally realized it, or, fully swallowed that pill.

I find these comments to be interesting as well since they specify the narrow-mindedness of the society however, there is this comment from the Data Bank;

This comment I admittedly stumbled across when looking for something else, but I feel like it perfectly encapsulates Ratio's entire dilemma with the Genius Society, maybe not to Ratio himself but it certainly applies to everyone who comments on his achievements being worthy of Nous' approval.

I am also quite curious about who exactly wrote the 'Decoding Dr. Ratio' that we have read from in all of his character stories. They seem to have a lot of connections for someone who would typically be seen as just another paparazzi or media interviewer, I'm surprised the people listed in his stories would agree to an interview.

Onto his final story, which is about his personality and methods of sharing knowledge.

I mentioned this comment in my character notes post but I find it extremely charming that Ratio remains the same and refuses to change himself or his personality to satisfy those around him.

It is also commented in his second character story by a previous professor of his that his honesty and straightforwardness were a 'Breath of fresh air' at the University.

I love the implication that either; nobody in the entire room had any questions (unlikely), or that they were simply too scared to ask them.

I also find the comment that 'Whenever someone agrees with me, I feel like I must be wrong.' Perhaps he's gotten used to being the only one thinking the way he is or the possibility that people only agree with him so they sound intelligent themselves and weren't truly listening or understanding.

I find these comments interesting as well, a majority of the fandom mischaracterizes Ratio as mean or rude although he literally explains his viewpoints where anyone can access it (which does honestly prove his point about how knowledge is not for everyone.)

Texting in theory: communication with friends! So fun! Memes! Talk talk talk! ❤️✨

Texting in practice: Oh god I don't have the energy to reply right now, I'm currently in Task Mode not Talk Mode so there is currently no battery allocated for socializing atm. Oh it's been too long, do they think I hate them? If I reply will I have to stay engaged in conversation for a few seconds? Half an hour? How long will this conversation be? When is it okay to step away and do something else? Will they think I hate them if I go too long without responding again? I don't hate them, I love them, I need to figure out how to do this. What tone did they intend this in? How do I ask what tone they meant without coming across as rude? How can I respond in a way that cannot possibly be construed as passive aggressive/rude/dismissive? I want to stay engaged with the task I'm doing, I don't want to go back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. I really really enjoy it when I'm in the right "Mode" but each notification feels like an obligation. Why does this feel like a chore? I like talking to my friends, why doesn't it feel like talking to my friends? Why do I feel trapped? Why do I avoid people I love? Oftentimes I'm not even "doing" anything when I don't respond, I'm just in "non social" mode. Even if I know I'll enjoy talking once I get started every unopened message feels like a burden. I shouldn't see texts from people I love this way, I should be happy, they want to talk to me and they love me. Why can't I just be normal about this, why can't I stop avoiding every damn thing?
