the thing about the “love letter” core of these characters is that it is turning out to be a very fascinating coping mechanism. of like, when i have that moment of “oh no my autism is making me so fucking annoying/embarrassing/whatever right now” self-awareness, instead of getting shuttled into the semi-usual downward self-cringing spiral, i find myself breaking off into “actually, i think one of these characters does the exact same thing and the other one Loves them for it”, which i find i like a lot more

#N posts stuff #this one not for the side blog bc it’s more about Me than the characters specifically lol #BUT i will say that yes this was triggered by me realizing several hours into a movie marathon that i was constantly #talking over the movies and kinda spoiling them just bc i got excited to talk about them & forget to think about like #the fact that other people can hear me and don’t have my exact comprehension/knowledge of things and whatever. Oops #but then also yeah. i think changeling does this constantly and augustus loves it bc she likes how it makes the movie predictable #like it’s not just that she likes listening to changeling infodump she Genuinely likes having a distracting interjection that tells her what #to expect from the movie. like she doesn’t like watching movies but she Does like watching them with changeling specifically bc the way it #cannot shut up for once does serve to make the experience more accessible to her. it’s More enjoyable that way #now IRL with Me it’s not like i’d use this as an excuse to disregard other people’s experiences or complaints or anything #but like tonight specifically no one said anything so it feels safe to assume no one was Actually that bothered #and that’s one of those things where i Could make myself miserable trying to figure out if people secretly hate me for being annoying #but also why would i? i can’t read minds to know if i should stop so i shouldn’t read minds to self-flagellate after the fact if it is #Equally Possible no one complained bc no one was bothered. is that making sense?#i know what i mean at least. i do love these characters tho i feel like i have never been happier to create something :3
