#autistic adora

[popeyeotaku]

Adora like *struggles to figure out society's weird social rules they never explain and don't actually follow but every time she makes a stab at it they act like she's being weird* and *just wants some routine and expectations she can actually meet which would just simplify everything* and *tries to plan out difficult stressful social scenarios so she knows what to expect*

adora from shera might not have been written w autism in mind and her behaviors are explained by her ptsd and INTERESTING upbringing but oh lordy i have never felt so autistically represented in media

i feel like people focus on entraptas autism and im so so happy to have entrapta there but also AUTISTIC ADORA i love her and her stimmy motions and her rigid thinking and her rubbish social skills and her tight planning and her clumsiness.

Scorpia and Adora (no last names) from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power are autistic. Entrapta is also autistic - only that's actually canon.

Hi I absolutely agree! She Ra and the princesses of power is a major special interest! -Mod Dragon

[notfeelingthyaster]

Self improvement :)

I have never really put effort into things, least of all myself. Onwards of my finishing year 12 this September, I will be practising ultimate self care. I don’t mean bucket loads of skin care, I mean getting comfortable with leaving the house alone, doing tasks I would have relied on others for, trying new things, and making new friends. In the last few years I have really struggled with my mental health, school has only worsened it. With this newfound freedom of being graduated I can pursue the things I really want to do, not partake in mindless activities that in bulk will contribute to my inevitable burnout. I will try to update as much as possible! If anyone wants to make friends I have put some topics below in the tags that I am interested in!

[chronicsyd]

I want to talk about Cartoon Therapy and Mental Issues!

a lot of people don’t talk about this and I’d really like to go into a rant of how both Adora and Catra suffer from BPD, Bipolar Disorder, and other mental issues. 

(Also Adora is Autistic with ADHD, very much so) Like I could go on about this for fucking hours if I wanted to cause their symptoms are very clearly There and no-one talks about it! 

(Actually I could probably go into a list about certain cartoon characters and their mental health problems like how Luz Obviously suffers from PTSD and things like that) someone get me to shut up please before my brain explodes itself from thinking about this!

Trivia Tuesday (Kinda)

Look, I’m writing the bagpipe SPOP AU for me and my assumption is there is zero (o) interest in it based on past responses to info from it. That all said-

TOO BAD Y’ALL GET TO SUFFER MORE BAGPIPE AU

Anyhow, fun fact, Entrapta was supposed to be a little side character and as per usual has somehow taken over and is now the funniest motherfucker in this thing. I am so tempted to leave her as the main PoV character because she just casually is murdering people in her thoughts.

“ Entrapta had been thrilled at first because when Catra had her mind set to something she went full autistic on it and it was just fun to have someone else at her level for a niche interest. Shame about Catra being a contrary bitch though, because it got grating quickly.”

Like, ma’am, that’s a straight up axe murder of one of your best friends. I love you so much. People looking in from the outside are probably wondering how someone as sweet and nice as Entrapta likes Catra, but they’ve just never gotten close enough to have her 360 no scope them b/c she doesn’t have the time or patience for their floundering. She understands it just fine, but it’s also silly to her and she is begging you to stop making her the vent point.

[i-am-the-myrmidon]

Ugggggh you are so right. I think about how adora lets her hand trail down catra’s chin in the heart when she’s trying to say good bye and about how she never had a language to communicate that want before but immediately she uses it and I want to scream.

I am NEVER getting over the scene where hologram Catra gently cups Adora's face and pulls her into a tender forehead touch LIKE BRO IT'S SO. It's So Soft And Gay And Heartbreaking :')

AND THEN THEY GET TO DO IT FOR REAL

Done with Going Postal!

Really digging the intro. Love a good 'the protagonist is literally about to die' welcoming

Mr. Pump's introduction is my favorite thing ever

I love that there is at least One (1) undeniably autistic character in every book PTerry has written. Stanley I would die 4 u

I would also beg Adora Bell 'Killer' Dearheart to use me as her ash tray (although she probably wouldn't bc she has too much self respect)

There's no way Tump Tower isn't a direct callout to Trump Tower. Glad people were fed up with that orange fucker even before he was president

Ngl I did not expect to like Moist at first but he really grew on me

Reading the words "too big to fail" printed 4 years before the Great Recession kicked off was like seeing a big, dark shape in the water...going after someone else

The message of 'innovation is good, but corporate greed is bad' was really refreshing; so often these stories frame the technology itself as Wrong instead of how it's used/taken care of/its workers are treated

I think this is probably one of my favorite Discworld series I've read so far. Moist was a super compelling character (and I appreciated that there wasn't the usual twist of 'his friends find out he used to be a con man and turn on him'. I hate that trope). As i said, i didnt expect to like him, but the more he put effort into the Post Office and found himself caring, the more i liked him. The story itself was also very engaging- I was always on the edge of my seat to see how Moist would get out of the next situation. It was fairly straightforward compared to some of PTerry's other books, but imo that's actually a good thing; some, like Feet of Clay, I found a little hard to follow.

I will certainly be going back to read this one again, and I think it's one of his finest works. Good on you, sir.

My housemates and I are watching S5 of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, which my bff J and I love, and Ash had never seen. She's been having a blast with it and it's been really cool to watch through her eyes.

I've seen some condemnations of how Entrapta is handled in S5 that I found, let's say, unpersuasive. Re-watching now, I'm not just fine with how she's handled, but have realized how much I really love it. It's still refreshing for me to see a narrative where an obviously autistic person—an adult, which is extra refreshing!—is treated as a moral agent without ignoring her actual handicaps.

Entrapta is capable of moral failure and has failed morally in the past, despite her basic good nature and personal kindness. She has lines she won't cross and where she'll stand her ground, and she hits that line before most everyone in the Horde but Adora, but her priorities were still very wrong. She's not just an avatar of Autism, and by S5 we see that she's grown and changed without any indication that she's less autistic now or more authentically Entrapta than she ever was. AND at the same time, it's clear that there is something rather cruel when other characters evaluate and judge her behavior without making any allowances for how Entrapta perceives and processes things around her. Sometimes they don't seem to even slightly consider how differently Entrapta experiences and understands the world.

The scene (in S5!) where she belatedly figures out that the others in the scene are angry at her, and everyone except Scorpia acts like she's stupid for not already realizing it, is incredibly familiar, honestly. It's one of those moments where I felt like it could seem forced or artificial in a "teaching moment for the kids" way, and yet it's one of the most relatable moments in the show for me.
