#don’t go into the woods

[soullessjack]

oh my god I know I’ve mentioned it before but I rlly cant stop thinking about it. don’t go into the woods is literally the pinnacle of autistic representation (to me). bear with me because I have a migraine and am struggling to stay conscious but. There are just so many various autistic experiences shown throughout the episode and what happens to jack in it. Like it’s borderline upsetting (for me) to watch because of how resonating they are.

firstly, jack actively wants to try and put himself out there. He wants to make friends and have normal human experiences even if he can’t exactly stop being ‘special.’ (Also, he does specifically say that he is “himself” again once his powers are back, so it’s like, yes that is something he more or less sees as an inherent part of himself, but I think the part he struggles with is the consequential nature of his powers and who he is. as I’ve said before, it’s one thing to simply be different than it is to be treated differently. )

furthermore, once jack realizes the kids are basically ‘safe’ to be honest with, as they’re aware of monsters, he’s the exact opposite of shy about his powers. that’s one thing about him I really love . Like he LOVES to show off and impress people and be praised/appreciated by others.it’s such a silly trait I wish was characterized more often. He also just instantly starts unmasking and info dumping Twice about Haitian zombie law (to Sam and Dean) and how to kill monsters god he’s so special you don’t understand. He is not a gatekeeper you WILL be forced to know about his special interests.

however even tho jack is shown to be very proud of his abilities and hunting knowledge the very Minute that he senses the other kids think he’s weird (Reminding everyone that they were judgy from the start and did not in fact invite him over because they like him) he just Cannot Stand It . That’s the consequential part yknow. Like jack does see and feel his powers as just an inherent part of him (which they Are), he’s literally said they feel like breathing. It’s just Who He Is yknow. but the consequential part of it is that people are either afraid of him, they hate him, or they think he’s weird. And jack doesn’t like any of that shit. He doesn’t like being cast out or defined by the thing that makes him a little more different.

‘he’s back to being the oddball.’ back to it, like that’s just the unfortunate default he’s stuck filling. (Also on another note I think it’s really sad on that he can already recognize the particular facial expression for “We Think You’re A Freak”). It’s like he can just sense the rejection and isolation before he even actually receives it, and the mere perception of that is enough to totally throw him off. Totally not an experience any autistic person has ever felt before. Totally not similar to a particular co-morbid form of dysphoria that commonly plagues autistic individuals. Not at all.

This episode has probably the most bleak ending to me? Not in a competitive sort of way, the show has gotten far bleaker I am aware. But in both the original script (that got entirely changed) and the actual episode, it ultimately ends with Jack just not having friends. We’ve all seen the episode I won’t recap that far. Head still hurts bad. But In the script, Jack only ever shows the kids various combat moves with an angel blade, and the accidental stabbing is by Eliot, and Jack healing Stacey is basically the Big Reveal of his powers and , as the script above shows, what he Really is. ?.

I guess all of the combined stress and just shock of the monster world (Eliot is previously shown to be basically paranoid of things out to get him earlier in the script) is enough for the kids to very gently let jack down and say they’ll see him again or something, but it literally ends with jack’s inner monologue that he knows he’s never gonna see them again, and going “so much for having friends.” The End.

And idk. To me It’s just so. Isolating. Like. You try and make friends and be a little normal and belong somewhere else for once but the entire time you get the vague sense that you’re still too weird and out of place, that everyone else also thinks you’re weird and out of place. You’re so used to rejection that the impending sense of it starts looming over you, but you still wanna put yourself out there! You still want to at least try! And then you get the pile of bricks dropped on your head. The Impending Rejection. Everyone leaves you alone again and you’re left with the solidified knowledge that you are in fact, too weird and too different to belong anywhere else, to have friends. You can’t be normal or accepted, you’ll always be alone and isolated and rejected.

Autism 101 yay

you know all of those movies and shows about princesses and twins and twin princesses and swapping places etc etc. well miraculous ladybug is actually also one of those shows, it is just told from the angle of “what if the twin princess was your mom and she gave you so many issues”

•The Beginning Of The Way•

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

Harmonia was walking through the lair and just thinking about her life and her siblings lives

When her old ‘Mother (What the kids call their egg-incubator they used to call ‘mother’) recognized them as her children

How she would ignore and neglect them for weeks or months on end and if she didn’t turn them into ghost when she recognized them they would probably be do, and than would love-bomb them just to go back to neglecting them and ignoring them until she wanted them to do something for her

So when she disappeared for who knows how long it took the kids to take a while (Decades) to notice her disappearance…and they weren’t really complaining they were already taking care of themselves and didn’t really have a positive relationship with her altogether so you can’t really blame them when they were not devastated about their ‘Mothers’ disappearance and they were fine just taking care of themselves and the lair and the being alone was a plus.

So when Harmonia found out they would be getting a new Aphrodite, she almost had a heart attack! She was already worried about keeping Phobos and Deimos from fighting random and more powerful ghost and get hurt and to keep creeps from Eros and to add someone who could hurt them….it scared her

So when she met Danny (Before her siblings to make sure he’s at least somewhat safe to be around and to make notes on his temper, to keep her siblings safe) so you can see why she was surprised when Danny started off by saying how he was not there to boss them around and to make them stay and that if they wanted to leave they could and if they needed help just ask him but he will ask they stay for a bit at least

And how glad she was they made the hard decision to trust a adult for once

Now they have a amazing mother figure who actually takes care of them and adores them just as much as they adore him and they get to mess with the Ancient Of War (HOW dare this man be married to their Mother!!!) and have no concerns about what he will do to them

So yeah the kids are pretty happy with their life’s or well afterlife

Vash followed Meryl’s eyes to meet Nick’s, watching as they rolled in his head. “We’re cryptid chasers,” he admitted with little to no shame. “Ever heard of the Humanoid Typhoon?”

don’t go into the woods is frankly a very painful watch as an autistic person but it’s also very funny because not only does jack try to make friends by literally teaching some kids how to kill things but also the whole ep goes out of its way to show you that THIS GUY HAS NO FUCKING FRIENDS NO BITCHES HE HAS ABSOLUTELY ZERO PLAY THIS IS A CERTIFIED EPIC FAIL and I think we should appreciate that a teeny bit more

Avery’s NSFW Alphabet

Of course I’d write the smutty stuff before anything else lmao. 

Here y’all go and MINORS GET OUT OF HERE IF YOU SEE THIS

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Even Softer with you than he, usually is. Will drag you to the bathroom to clean up, and maybe, if not to exhausted, will cook something up. He just wants to make sure you’re alright.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

His favorite part would be his hands, he enjoys the reactions he can pull out of you, whether through simple touches, or fingering you / jerking you off. His favorite part of you would have to be the thighs, he loves squishing his fingers into them, gripping them whether he’s pounding into you or riding your dick/strap.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Loves filling, being filled, swallowing, being covered in, covering you in it. He’s a little nasty lmao.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

He certainly has a lot going on under the surface. He’s a little nervous about showing what else he’s capable of.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

He has some experience, via a few past relationships, but is always down to learn more if it means pleasing you. 

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

He willing to try a lot, but he enjoy’s the classics the most, or positions where you’re seated in his lap. 

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

On the more serious end, but he’s willing to laugh if something goes wrong. 

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Trimmed, dark, a little curly. He also has a prominent happy trail.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Ranges from shear softness, to absolutely feral. He desires, taking care of you deeply. 

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Maybe a few times a week before he met you. He still does on occasion if you are not available, or if you’re not in a relationship. Yet.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Mutual Masturbation, Marking, Edging, Vouyerism, Gagging, Roleplay.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Bedroom, Shower, Kitchen, Woods, His truck. Just nothing extremely public.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Seeing you stretch, showing off your tummy. Any glimpse of thigh. Neck kisses. Being aggressive with him.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Anything dealing with ageplay, piss, scat, dd/lg are big turn offs. 

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

He prefers to give, but love’s to receive as well, especially if you gag on him a little. Pretty good as well, even better when his fingers get involved.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

For someone that’s relatively quiet, he certainly enjoy’s a faster pace. He will still however, cater to you needs. You decide you want him to let lose however, RIP.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Doesn’t mind them, but prefers to have a longer time with you.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Is fine with semi-public, as long as he know he has control of the space. If anyone even looks at you in that state, well, bye bye to them.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

Great stamina, almost to much. Huh, that’s a little strange.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Has a few, but doesn’t often use them. Is willing to add more if you ask.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Enjoy’s edging, both you and himself, if you get the chance to be on his thigh, just be prepared.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Can get loud at times, but if you want him to keep it down, he’s fine with either you shoving him fingers in his mouth or biting you. 

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

When you learn his dirty little secret, he’ll be more willing to- REDACTED INFO

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

7.5 Inches/19.05cm hard, 5.5 inches/13.97cm flaccid, decently thick. Uncircumsized, with a slight upward curve. A little lighter than his normal skintone, pinkish red tip. 

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Pretty tame for the most part since he does still have to earn his masters, but if you ask, he’s almost always down. 

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

After you’ve been taken care of, he’ll usually stay up a little longer, take care of anything he’s neglected. Maybe take a quick stroll through the woods.

Mytho fans id like to issue a formal apology. I realized I, too, know how it feels to have your special little guy mischaracterized and trampled over by his own damn media and now everyone hates him but YOU understand you understand him and they’re wrong they’re all wrong and also there’s this other guy everyone insists is better like it’s a competition and it’s really annoying and you just want everyone to see your pookie bear the way you see him. I understand. I’ve always understood. I am a better man now.
