I saw someone on Twitter post that one of the many things they love about Jeckole is that Nicole went to her new school with the intentions of basically not getting attached to anyone, then immediately after meeting Jecka, she wanted to know her and cared enough to actually wanna reach out to her

📼 in rainbows / radiohead (2007)

track rec: weird fishes/arpeggi ↳I'd be crazy not to follow / follow where you lead / your eyes / they turn me / turn me into phantoms / I follow to the edge / of the earth / and fall off / yeah, everybody leaves / if they get the chance / and this is my chance

🌉 narrow stairs / death cab for cutie (2008)

🚗 sam's town / the killers (2006)

track rec: bones ↳we took a backroad in my car / down to the ocean / it's only water and sand / and in the ocean we'll hold hands / but I don't really like you / apologetically dressed in the best / put on a heartbeat glide / without an answer / the thunder speaks for the sky

🔥 heretic pride / tmg (2008)

track rec: autoclave ↳when I try to open up to you, I get completely lost / houses swallowed by the earth, windows thick with frost / and I reach deep down within, but the pathways twist and turn / and there's no light anywhere, and nothing left to burn / and I am this great, unstable mass of blood and foam / and no emotion that's worth having could call my heart its home

track rec: goodbye, my danish sweetheart ↳there's some kind of burning inside me / it's kept me from falling apart / and I'm sure that you've seen what it's done to my heart / but it's kept me from falling apart / now here I lay as I wonder about you / would you just tell me what I'm meant to do? / 'cause I've waited and watered my heart 'til it grew / you can see how it's blossomed for you

🚀 how to: friend, love, freefall / rks (2018)

track rec: mission to mars ↳we changed the format completely, cut the filler for meat / it's just blood on your TV making killings for free / the ticket lines are past the sign down at the end of the street / meet and greet, VIPs go a million a piece / we delayed the show for entry and so expired on the lease / now we're gonna re-release it, t.b.d / change the title to: fuck you / it's what you want it to be / when you know it only pay to make nice / pack your shit and standby, please / your friends are trying to leave and get high

Whether you attended or not, what have been some of your favorite moments from the Eras tour?

[bonbonsandbeskar]

"I may process moments and thoughts differently, but it does not mean that I feel any less than you."

Okay. I don’t usually make serious posts, but I felt like this was something worth discussing. Now the episode hasn’t even been out a full day, and I’m already coming across a few people fretting that Tech is going to get ‘called out’ by others for being a ‘dick’ over the way he pointedly questioned Omega “what is your issue” and the way he has been at continuous loggerheads with Wrecker.

Now I know there has been a lot of ‘if’ing and ‘r’ing about the confirmation of Tech being autistic, whether it’s a canon thing or whether it’s just up for us to decide and interpret. Well I’m here to say that I think this is possibly the biggest indicator we have had for Tech most certainly having autism. A common condition that people with autism can have as a facet in their characteristics is that of alexithymia: problems with feeling/expressing emotions.

I’m no psychiatrist by any stretch of the imagination and I certainly don’t claim to speak on the behalf of every autistic person (that would actually be impossible seeing as the web of characteristics/conditions is incredibly diverse) but as an autistic person myself, I can tell you the way Tech has been acting in this episode is completely understandable and valid. It hasn’t been pleasant or very helpful for his siblings, but it is understandable nevertheless.

By nature, Tech has always favoured taking a methodical, logic-fuelled approach to situations in order to derive a conclusion/solution. He has rarely found himself caught in a situation where this approach does not yield a sure-fire course of action, where complex emotions are involved (hence why he mentions Crosshair here because this is potentially the only other situation he can liken the emotional turmoil to). It is common for alexithymic people to have outbursts of frustration when they find they cannot adequately register the intense emotions of others or in turn express their own in a way that is understandable to their peers, such as upset, grief and confusion. In lieu of Echo’s sudden leave, the whole Batch, Tech included, are probably feeling all three at this moment in time.

This explains his tendency throughout the episode to lash out and argue with his siblings, notably Wrecker, rather than take the generic, empathetic approach of talking out his emotions with them and going through the motions together (simply because as previously said, he is incapable of this). I can tell you that this must very isolating for Tech in a time more than ever when all he would want is comfort and reassurance also. This doesn’t register with the rest of the Batch because Tech’s own emotional strains are not being generically expressed due to his own separate set of neurological circumstances. Albeit they are not recognising his own internal struggles.

Tech is caring and protective of his siblings, there should be no doubts about this. He can see the impact the Empire has had on the Batch and how it has now effectively caused two of their brothers to leave the fold. Albeit, he is more than foresightful enough to see how small and fragile the Batch has become and the trepidation of this could very well all but be fuelling his frustrations. There is every chance he is experiencing his own sense of loss and abandonment through all of this, while still trying to be rational and level-headed one of the team. I believe that for the first time, we actually see Tech struggling to come to terms that he is officially out of his depth in this area and therefore is out of control in the situation, a concept very alien and disconcerting for him. Throw in a still-cognitively-developing child, a headstrong, very emotional, child-like individual with adhd and a team leader that is very prone to characterological self-blame and emotional withdrawal on the back of this, and I would say Tech has still been managing everything remarkably well, all other variables considered.

I am really glad that they are showing these characteristics to us within this dynamic where the Batch do consider each other family and therefore pull together and get through whatever crap the galaxy throws at them. It is these traits and tendencies that are projected by Tech in this episode that are a very common reason autistic people are scorned, ridiculed and segregated off by their peers irl. Even though we cannot generically express it, we deeply appreciate those that stick by us and try to understand us during periods of emotional uncertainty, disarray and stress.

It touches me to see that despite the Batch not always being able to see eye-to-eye with Tech and vice versa, they will still accept each other for who they are, quirks and all, and love each other. I only wish people could learn from this

Idk if this is controversial, but studying for a English/writing degree at university shouldn’t make you NOT want to engage with writing or literature. Just a thought.

It’s weird to have anniversaries that used to mean everything to you pass you by unnoticed. Yesterday was Skin Deep day, the anniversary for a fandom that saved my life in so many ways and yet it was a normal day. The love I feel for the Rumbelle fandom will likely never go away but right now it’s an ember instead of a blazing flame. I hope you had a wonderful Skin Deep day complete with Love is Purple gifsets and all the Woobie!Gold.

On the eighth day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

Sick/Injury for Mounders "You've had worse. You'll live." College Life AU CW: Mentions of alcohol/hangover

Bdubs had the worst hangover of his life. And, to make it worse, he got the flu from his roommate, Joel. In an attempt to help, Joel texted their mounders group chat to bring some stuff for him. It took a lot of snot filled begging, but Bdubs convinced him to not mention the hangover so Pearl wouldn't scold him. "If you hadn't let Scar convince you to go to that party, you wouldn't be hungover right now." Joel said from his spot by Bdubs' bedroom door. "I KNOW!!" Bdubs groaned and rolled over so he didn't have to face him. "He didn't even have to convince you, did he?" "NO! He asked one time and said Impulse was going too so I agreed! I didn't even try to say no. Gah, that Scar. He's too charismatic." "You don't seem to think very highly of your brother." "No, I do! It's just- every time I go to a party with him, I get the worst hang over. He's bad luck!" "You just can't handle your alcohol." A feminine voice came from outside the door. "Pearl! You weren't supposed to knoooow." Bdubs groaned agained. "Hey Pearl." Joel greeted her after opening Bdubs' bedroom door for her to come in. "Hi Joel, Hi Bdubs. Mumbo's coming with some stuff that should help. If we had known you were hungover too, he could've brought Tylenol." Pearl walked over to the bed to check Bdubs' forehead. "He'll probably bring some anyway. You know how he is about health." Joel said right as there was a knock at the door. "I got it." He went to the dorm door and opened it to reveal their mustached friend, though a mask was covering his lower face. "Hey Mumbo, how many times do we have to tell you you don't have to knock?" He opened the door fully to let him in. "I'm being polite! I brought a lot of stuff that I thought could be useful." Mumbo showed the grocery bags of stuff in his hand. They walked down to Bdubs' room and waited as Pearl finished lecturing him about drinking too much. "How do you feel, BdoubleO?" Mumbo stayed just outside the door. "AWFUL! I feel dead!" "You've had worse. You'll live." Pearl told him as she looked through the bags of stuff Mumbo brought. She grabbed the Tylenol (Joel was right, of course Mumbo would bring some) and poured two in her hand before giving them to Bdubs. He took them with the cup of water on his nightstand and laid back down with a groan. "This sucks." "I think you two should put a mask on, I brought extra." Mumbo held out a pack of facemasks for Joel and Pearl. "Yeah, why not." Joel took one while Pearl declined. "What foods did you bring?" She asked. "Oh, yes, I'm so hungry." Bdubs made a motion of rubbing his stomach. "Some different soups, ramen, rice. Easy things, basically." Mumbo answered. "Well, Bdubs, what sounds good?" Pearl turned her attention back to him. "Chicken ramen?" "I brought that, yeah. I'll go make it." Mumbo left Pearl and Joel to keep Bdubs company. Joel had to help Bdubs eat a bit but he was mostly fine on his own. With his friends taking good care of him, it only took a couple days before he was feeling better. But, they wouldn't get a rest because a couple days after that, Pearl would tell the groupchat that she was sick now (to which Mumbo said she should've used a mask).

garak is the Go nuts show nuts (to a point) parent and bashir is the Judgmental look Well I wouldn't do that... parent. Keiko and Miles have a very similar dynamic. Molly and Iskra bond over it
