#esp on the dyslexia thing
Explore tagged Tumblr posts
Note
idk if you’ve had this question before, but i think it’s pretty much accepted by the frev community on tumblr that robespierre was autistic- what about camille and saint-just? do you think they were neurodivergent? i’m thinking adhd and autism respectively, but i also think saint-just might have been dyslexic. thoughts?
Hello! I agree vm with you on this!!
I see much ADHD behaviour in Camille (and write him as such to be that way in my comic, based on rl friends who he reminds me of) To add to his outward behaviours and choices, some of his personal reflections on his own inability to reign in his up and down feelings, make me feel even more certain on this. I can't think of a stronger testimony than when it's coming straight from the person experiencing it~
I haven't done very much in depth reading on Saint-Just yet (I plan to of course, but I simply haven't gotten around to it! There' so much to read about in Frev XD) but I also get autism vibes from him, from what I've read and contemporary observations of him. I'm less certain about this compared to Robespierre, but only because I'm not super knowledgable about him. I know @saintjustitude has talked about this alot, and I think knows ALOT about SJ, so maybe he can weigh in on the reasons he thinks Saint-Just might be autistic :3
I keep reflecting, in the same way I have with Robespierre, how SJ's behaviour- which when you're autistic, can be so easily misinterpreted- might've been percieved during a time when people were looking for enemies. He tends to be painted in a certain way in pop culture (and this seems to go hand in hand with how people choose to interpret his dynamic with Robespierre). Much like Robespierre, what I have read up about him doesn't really add up to how he seems to often be characterised. So, I'm curious to read up on him in more detail when I get the chance and look at him through the lense of neurodivergence.
#thank you for the interesting question :3#If you want to come off anon or send another ask Im very curious to knwo your personal thoughts in more detail too#esp on the dyslexia thing#I dont know enough about SJ to comment about that but its a interesting observation I wanna know more!#frev#french revolution

My mom is always like "you were suchhh an easy kid compared to your brothers, you didn't even cry the first night home from the hospital it was so weird. I never had to worry about you since I knew you could handle yourself" meanwhile I as a kid always felt like

You ever wonder how deep the disociative fugue goes?
#sometimes i learn things about my own life that i really just didn't remember#it scares me tbh bc how much have i done esp recently that i just dont remember?#like recently my brother made me take some quizzes related to dyslexia and I went back and looked at a bunch of old texts and writing#I did a long time ago only to realize my writing and spelling hasn't made sense ever and has always had serious typos along with#a lot of it looking completely illiterate#or like learning something about someone ive known forever that i completely skipped over about them that im pretty sure they told me#absolute skisms of existence where what i knew to be true is completely out of left field and incorrect#who the fuck am i?#how do i know if im a consistent being#my memory is inherently untrustable#my txt

soc characters as six queens
Wylan Van Eck - Anna of Cleves. She got rejected for being too ugly. He got banished because he couldn't read. Do i even need to elaborate? Her song (esp her verse in six) could literally be rewritten to suit Wylan like
What a shame yeah my face, it cost me the crown (his dyslexia costing him the Van Eck fortune) So I moved to the Haus Of Holbein! In my hometown (Ketterdam) His mates were super arty, but I showed them how to party (the crows) Now on my tour of Prussia, everybody GETS DOWN (basically a statement to Van eck and all the people who has ever disrepected him for not being able to read. the equivalent of Haters back off)
Jesper Fahey - Jane Seymour. Jane knows Henry might not love her if it weren't for her son. Jesper knows his father might love him more if he wasn't Grisha, if he didn't have the one thing that took the love of Colm's life away. Jane loving Henry anyways despite. Jesper doing the same with his father. *SOBS*
Matthias Helvar - Catherine of Aragon. OH. GODS LIKE. "you must agree that baby in all the times i've been by your side (Fjerda). "I've never lost control (never questioned), no matter how many times i knew you lied (no matter how many times he saw the faults and barbaric teachings of Fjerdan ideologies). "If you can just explain A single thing I've done to cause you pain, I'll go" *silence* (Fjerda pulling a King Henry and banishing Matthias) . NOooooo. WAY.
Nina Zenik - Anne Boleyn. PURE VIBES. . LIKE I CAN easily imagine nina going "LIKE WAHT WAS I MEANT TO DO?" When Matthias confronted her about Hellgate. Then going "LIKE OMG GUYS HE ACTUALLY WANTS TO CHOP (//choke) MY HEAD OFF" when matthias tried to kill her. Plus, "grew up in the French court" (nina grew up in the Royal Palace), "life was a chore so she set sail" (went to the borders)
Inej Ghafa - Katherine Howard. Kaz and Inej's could easily switch. I mean, although Katherine suits Inej more, with the "all you wanna do" motifs going on, it could also be reinterpreted for Kaz as all they (Pekka) wanted to do was milk him of his money. Either way they get sold/manipulated for something and ended up suffering for it. For Inej it was years of abuse and sa. For Kaz it was loosing his brother and learning how to survive Ketterdam alone.
Kaz Brekker - Catherine Parr. Again, could easily be switched with Inej with the "I'm much more than my trauma, I fought for (in Catherine Parr's case, women's education,..etc)". Inej going on to becoming more than the Menagerie girl she was forced to be (a slaver hunter, the Wraith..etc). Kaz going onto be much more than the scared naive little boy he once was.Although this also could easily go for all the crows, I feel like it suits Kaz and Inej more, since their trauma and backstory is more or less prominent and relates to hers more.

LGBTQ+ Disabled Characters Showdown Round 3, Wave 2, Poll 9
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/dc7a62122a8e6d52ffd2a923725c2a79/fc4aec2f1804197b-d8/s540x810/798a8a6b47d79151fa3334c3db3cedcb672eb079.jpg)

A character being totally canon LGBTQ+ and disabled was not required to be in this competition. Please check qualifications and propaganda before asking why a character is included.
Check out the other polls in this wave and prior here.
Lan Wangji-The Untamed / Mo Dao Zu Shi
Qualifications:
Canonically gay, pretty heavily coded as autistic (esp in the show)
Additional qualifications by @lovewanxian : I would like to add that Lan Wangji also has extremely extensive scarring on his back from getting whipped 33 times and spent an extended amount of time bedridden because of it
Propaganda:
He's an absolute badass - in a series full of morally ambiguous or outright immoral characters, he's one of the only people around to consistently show he's reliable, honorable and strong. Some examples include Lan Wangji defending Wei Wuxian, his love interest and eventual husband, against his own clan and other clans because WWX went against their rules and tried to save innocent people, or LWJ raising WWX's adopted son for years and being a great father and mentor to him. While LWJ isn't *technically* canonically autistic, (not that this word would exist in the setting), he has flat affect, fixates on rules and his difficulty in understanding people's emotions is explicitly brought up and a minor plot point.
Wylan Van Eck-Six of Crows
Qualifications:
Wylan has dyslexia (heavily implied, but not outright said bc setting) and is gay,
Dyslexic and gay!
They are in a adorable m/m relationship, and also have severe dyslexia to the point that (when eight) he could not read or write despite formal education
Wylan is gay and dyslexic!
Propaganda:
Wylan and Jesper have the absolute cutest relationship. Also, Wylan has dyslexia. I don't think it was outright said, but that was heavily implied. It just couldn't be set out loud for the sake of maintaining the fantasy setting. He's such a good character, and is primarily known for his skill with explosives, not his struggles with reading and writing. The other protagonists also never judge him for it, and the only character who does is the kind of person 90% of readers want to kill by the end of the series.
His boyfriend Jesper helped him fake being able to read so they could beat Wylan's shitty dad.
- He's incredibly sweet - But can also be ok with murder sometimes, like when killing unconscious people wasn't good - so just wake them up. - He was thrown out of the house and his father tried to kill him, because of said dyslexia, but managed to survive. Then rebelled against his father and with the help of friends took down his empire - He is very talented at the flute. And can draw very well, along with being a great chemist and demolition experts (hired for making flash bombs and other cool shit-) - Helps break into a world-class prison, then blushes the entire time because the person he's pared with keeps flirting with him - Asks his (eventual boyfriend) if he's into guys. Then immediately gets flustered when Jesper picks it up - Is very rich heir (due to shenanigans) and there's a one-off line about this sweet bean kind of being a sugar daddy- (just gives his boyfriend money to do stocks with, to stop him from gambling) - Supports his boyfriend throughout his gambling addiction and tries to help him overcome it
Wylan is dyslexic and because of this written off as stupid by his father. However, he is actually a genius, especially with chemicals, and he uses his genius and his new band of misfit friends to take his father down and read him for filth in front of a whole bunch of important people. He is good at making things explode. He also nabs himself a hot boyfriend in the process so good for him!
The qualifications and propaganda paragraphs correspond, @wisheduponastar is the third submitter.

You have GOT to share with us how you read so much. I’m so curious!!!
hey!!!
✨ how i read so quickly ✨
🌿 format: i read exclusively on apple iBooks, i find i read so much faster there then a physical book. i love physical books, but don’t like the texture of paper under my hands (im autistic and sensory sensitive)
🌼 fast reader: im a naturally fast reader. this obviously helps a ton. i have hyperlexia (opposite of dyslexia), and can get through books quite quickly (i can get through 400 pages in about 5 minutes)
🌈 learn to skim: my brain naturally skims over unimportant words or filler scenes sometimes. this helps as well. obviously this is controversial probably, but this is literally how my brain works
✨ get familiar with common themes/tropes in your favourite genres: it will make a new book easier to get through, as you’re already aware of what’s going on from previous history. no book is truly original
🍭 diversify your reading list: switch up genres to keep yourself entertained so you can read for longer
🌊 take breaks when you need it: don’t force yourself to read more. i probably average about 1.5 hours a day of reading, unless im insanely busy. but some days i do less, and you need breaks to avoid reading burnout. i have a lot of control over my routines, so im very privileged in this sense. i realise 1.5 hours is a lot
🐠 read shorter books (duh?): when i was getting back into reading / starting to read crazy amounts, i read lots of short books and that got me comfortable with literature. now i don’t even blink at the page length, unless if it’s over 600+ pages
🦚 track your reading: either on storygraph or goodreads. i find looking at reading stats (esp storygraph’s) so motivating to read. it doesn’t need to be 1,000 books, it can be 50 or 10. the most important thing is just having a goal to work towards
🍀 highlight as you go to help retain information whilst reading quickly
feel free to add me on storygraph - lottie1803. goodreads is in the pinned comment on my page
sorry this response is a little delayed, this week has been wild. if i think of anything more, ill add to this list. thanks for your question

I have like. Such extensive backstory HCs for Grim and Gnarly and I just never talk about it. They just live in my head. I think abt them almost as much as I think abt Allan, I like them a Lot.
I had developed Grim's backstory pretty heavily but not Gnarly's, so I've been thinking abt his.
My take on him is that he had insanely shitty parents who did not like or care for him. He left at 16 and couch surfed. His first job was at a butcher shop. The owner, Butcher John, was very gruff, kind of rude and standoffish, but he really did take Gnarly in. This guy in the few years Gnarly worked there was more of a dad to him than his actual dad ever was. Neither of them were ever comfortable with Gnarly calling him that, and neither were ever comfortable talking about feelings, trauma etc. All Gnarly knows is that Butcher John went through something similar as a kid.
Something about Gnarly is he is genuinely smart. But no one ever expects this from him. He has dyslexia and some trouble reading and teachers and especially his parents always assumed that meant he was Stupid. He's not!! But he grew up thinking this so he never really tried, because what was the point ?? And in high school he really embraced the "Cool guy, doesnt care about anything" image. He also was really averse to doing anything seen as non-masculine. Gnarly always grew up more into boys than girls(And later figured out he didn't like girls at all, he just felt like he had to) and his parents were Not happy about that, to say the least.
But this also led to him not embracing things he liked that didn't fit that mold. Until his idol and basically adopted dad came home with a guy. Gnarly genuinely had no idea Butcher John was queer. He was the most masculine person Gnarly knew, ever. When he was told "I'm not doing any of this to be masculine. I'm just doin it because I like it." it really hit him. So he started letting himself doing things seen as nerdy, like reading. He found out he loves reading historical fiction and non-fiction, as well as fantasy. He started taking piano lessons, too, in addition to guitar lessons.
Even though he felt more self confident, he still was convinced he wouldn't be smart enough to get into college. But he did- on scholarship. This led to him feeling like he was taking it away from someone else, dealing w imposter syndrome, before John encouraged him(Along with John's now husband! Also named John. Which is why the OG John is referred to as Butcher John.)
Even though Gnarly never refers to him as his dad or anything, he keeps in close contact with him even as an adult. The only time he ever saw Butcher John cry was when Gnarly called him, after being able to escape Hell. Until Griddle happened and Gnarly introduced Griddle to the Johns- that also made Butcher John cry.
Fun fact: Nowadays, Butcher John is a vegan. He doesn't regret being a butcher, considering he always used every part of the animal (His husband is a taxidermist! Its how they met.) and always modeled and taught Gnarly respect for nature. But when he wasnt able to verify exactly where the meat was coming from anymore after farms stopped being local, he closed his shop and went vegan. Hes a little preachy about it, but Gnarly know its out of a deep respect for animals. (Though vegan, John is fine with using vintage animal product clothes such as leather.)
Gnarly still hunts, and is as far as vegan as you can get, esp since deer are insanely overpopulated near Meep City. But respect for nature is a big thing for him, which is why he loves taking camping trips with Gristle- and once Griddle and Gnasty are old enough, them too!!
He still struggles heavily with anxiety, self doubt and imposter syndrome. But he has a family now, which is more than he ever had as a kid.
Also, when he found out his dad kicked the bucket, he came home to Gristle and Grim throwing him a surprise party to celebrate, which Gnarly appreciated SO much. Fuck that guy !!
I need to design The Johns since they're important figures in Gnarly's life. They're like. The opposite of Grim's mom.

Gonna be dumping my headcanons here, got the idea from a certain someone on this blog hehe ^^ SORRY IN ADVANCE THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE LONG
Mephone is autistic and aroace also totally grew up on Survivor and TDA
MEPHONE ALSO HAS DYSLEXIA
Suitcase is a demigirl (she/they)
Fan the AuDHD ever
Test tube is also acoustic (in the /pos way, just trying to mix up my wording here)
Clover has ADHD also Lesbian
Balloon is autistic and was both trying to play the game and mask in season 1
Nine is aroace + genderfluid
So are Six and Fifteen but both mainly use she/they
Four was the kind of kid you'd see eating grass during recess (still is)
Eleven exists SOMEWHERE out there and is probably dancing around in circles
Two isnt actually british they just watched so much british media that they started imitating the accent and now they cant stop also theyre nonbinary
Four is a huge horror fan, esp likes things like Faith the Unholy Trinity or Kinitopet, he's very nostalgic for old internet things like that.
He also does math for fun and WILL write it on the walls or desk or whatever surface is close enough if he runs out of room on the paper.
Flower for all her cockiness cannot take a compliment for the life of her and would melt if someone started complimenting her and genuinely meant it. Also lesbian.
EVERYONE in just not is some form of nuerodivergent you cant convince me otherwise, except maybe book and cake
also, if headcanons for confessiony are something that are ok,, I keep imagining them either really liking or really hating religion related games like COTL, Faith and Water Womb World, specifically the first two cause they both have confession booths hehe. BUT IF YOU DONT WANT PPL HEADCANONING STUFF THATS COOL TOO AND I APOLOGIZE!!!
= Four/4️⃣

Ok speaking of changes GOT made… is there any changes you like? I struggle to find big moments, but there are small additions I love. Like Ned praying before he dies, Robb hitting the tree when he finds out, the chemistry that Kit Harrington and Rose Leslie have…. But there are very few structural changes I think improve the story.
hmmm so I can't lie there is a LOT I just don't remember anymore about the show, so wringing my mind a little to come up with something.....
I won't mention things that I think were adapted well (like Ned's execution) as those aren't adaptational changes. and I also won't mention things that I like the idea of (e.g. Jaime's dyslexia) but not the execution (they made out it was part of the longrunning 'stupidest Lannister' joke).
and like.... well I'm stuck already lmao?? I'm not even trying to shit on the show I just feel like it was a consistent exercise in either understating GRRM's work or butchering it entirely. so I can think of only a few things:
I can't find the link to where I talked about this at length but the scene in which Jaime and Ned duel in the streets of KL was a good one imo. I think it was more in character for Jaime to just recklessly fight Ned himself, and a neat parallel to what I suspect will happen between Ned, Arthur and Howland - in that when Ned is attacked from behind by one of Jaime's men in the midst of their fight, Jaime angrily ends the duel bc his man has essentially dishonoured it. I think Ned's fight with Arthur will end as it did in the show (with Howland stabbing Arthur from behind and Ned finishing the job, bc he needs to reach Lyanna), and this is like a parallel to show Jaime and Ned have the same principles, yet each have broken them in times of desperation. My personal theory is that this was a change GRRM recommended - the parallel seems notable to me, and not one that would've even occurred to D&D, esp. given they never gave any particular shit about Jaime's story. And this may sound spurious but I recall that GRRM remembers in an interview, saying the weather was different in the show version of the scene than in the books.... which makes me think he was maybe onset for this one, possibly because of the rewrite??
I'm v much in favour of ageing up the youngest characters. My ideal starting ages for the youngest characters in AGOT would've been Jon/Robb/Dany - 18, Joffrey/Sansa - 14, Arya - 12, Bran - 10. To me they all feel much too young for the roles they play in the story, and it occasionally kills my suspension of disbelief
I way prefer the book’s version of the Red Wedding but I do feel like Catelyn's single cry of despair works better than the book's manic laughter. maybe the laughter was a more vivid image for the books idk
I do actually like how we see Robb's grief onscreen it's very movingly played by Richard Madden. I also love Catelyn's expressions as Robb rides back from the Whispering Wood, like both these scenes are great reminders of their mother/son relationship in a setting where they aren't really allowed to be just that. and like just Michelle Fairley tbh I really like her work as Catelyn even though I don't like how the character was adapted more generally
Breaking the 'concept but not execution' rule just to say I think it was definitely a good idea to explore the High Sparrow as this weirdly charismatic figure so we can see how others might be taken in by him, even whilst we see the extremes of his faith. but that subplot was not executed well at all so fuck it
Yeah I agree that Jon and Ygritte having a slightly more charged romance also works. In the books Ygritte comes and goes quite quickly and I think there is something to be said for lending a bit more gravity to that relationship. I don't think they necessarily had to be the grand romance that the show makes them out to be but I didn't hate it
I might be forgetting other things that worked because some seasons I haven't seen since like 2015, but honestly it just doesn't work for me as an adaptation. things I liked in the show before reading the books feel completely naff in hindsight, knowing how they were supposed to play out, so..... eh

Thing about dyslexia is that yeah you can be compitant and check ur writings over a million times and try to rub out ur mistakes. but often when i do that. esp under any stress/time crunch i cna make my writings even more incorherient because i struggle to read my own wordss and like. figuring out the proper way to refix it.
like dyslexia makes so many weird specific parts of reading and writing hard. in a way that can be almost indescribable. like how do i explain... its like being able to do the backstroke vs only doggy paddle in water. Yeah we are both swimming but you are moving leaps and bounds more then I can, and trying to mimic you feels like drowning.
#its so hard being a dyslexic writer. all i do feels invalidated by my typos and mistakes#i almost had an advanced writing piece in like. one of my high school finals. and i just didnt get in andvance bc of my typos. i had like 2#but it marked off a ton... how am i suppose 2 feel about that. besides that my typos make me less valuable

hihi!!! i’m chook! i’m british, trans ftm and aroace.
i dont use tumblr a huge amount, half because i set time limits to try and not be chronically online, and half because i am too scared to interact with any posts past liking them 99% of the time. but im here i exist do say hi if you want i want to make friends im just permanently plagued with the Horrors
i do art, i will be trying to post more of it going into 2025, this blog will probably be for other stuff too though? art may be stuff related to media i like but i much prefer drawing ocs, or just doing other art stuff, so that’s probably the art ill post. working up to doing comms one day!
things i really like include portal/portal 2, splatoon, general video game glitchhunting, MCR, doing art, thinking about my ocs, being thoroughly whimsical and silly. other interests kinda rotate in and out.
please note i do have issues with tone esp over text, tone indicators work but i much prefer full words, e.g. (joke), over the single letter ones because half the time i completely skip over tone tags while reading. i have slow word processing issues and am kinda waiting on dyslexia testing, but i think the sendco at my sixth form forgor
DNI list
- anti lgbtq+, racists, ableists, any form of bigots. i don’t want to have to interact with a bunch of dogshit takes, it kills my whimsy
- supporters of israel’s genocide
- NSFW accounts, i am a minor and i really just don’t want to see that regardless tbh?
- rude or mean folks, and if you plan to make jokes at me that can be perceived in that way please clarify that they’re jokes.
if you’re making me uncomfortable i will block you
also please do not steal my stuff and put it in ai training datasets, i do not condone the use of ai to create “art” that people pass off as their own creations just because they typed a prompt.
to end with here is a picture of my stupid goober son socrates. he says have a nice day

🌙 you already told us bella's sleep schedule so please answer for the main 5 except bella! + 🗺️ for everyone you mentioned so far in the college AU ^_^
OMG YEAH! I ended up rambling a little so I'm putting it under a cut but tysmmm for the ask<3
🌙 - What’s their sleep schedule like?
OK! Like I said for Bella she's very early to bed early to rise but as for the others:
Polaris: She sleeps on the later side, and might sleep past breakfast, but she wakes up before noon at least. But please have breakfast anyway.
Saiph: sleeps early, wakes up early. Unsurprisingly the fire guy is a morning person. But unlike Bella he'll have the occasional "stay up until 3AM" night and won't even adjust when he wakes up
Al: He sleeps at like 5AM. You'll see him at noon. He might adjust this while on mission though. Unsurprisingly the shadow guy is a night owl
Mira: Goes to sleep early but she'll wake up on the later side with Polaris. Eepest girl in the world
🗺️ - What languages do they speak?
First off all the kids raised by Venus still know ASL on top of English, Saiph and Felis probably took it as their secondary language class in highschool for an easy A so that's it. Mira on the other hand would've taken Mandarin for herself on top of that.
Polaris probably only really speaks English, she would've still been raised by Thuban as a young kid so I'm not sure how much Inuktut she'd retained from her parents? Also she likely didn't do well in any language classes in school (dyslexia 😔), but I still think learning to speak in more languages is something she wants to do esp with her cartography interest overlapping w learning about the world.
Al speaks English and Japanese, though he's probably weaker in the latter, maybe speaking really formally? He'd never really committed to learning any specific language in highschool either, just no real motivation. I think he'd know some words or phrases in Cook Islands Maori from his mom but not enough to hold a conversation (might also highly depend on whether or not she's alive in this au idk 💀)
Bella speaks English and probably some French. Similar situation to Al, where she doesn't really speak much to the parent who knows it. Except she actually did commit to taking more classes for it in highschool so she can hold a conversation!
Bernard speaks English, and probably also picked up trace amounts of French from Vesta, he'd probably also take up Arabic for himself and still take Spanish in school, on top of classes for German and Latin. Mira thinks he used to be in one of her Mandarin classes too. Classic overachiever. Probably also speaks Klingon too if we're being honest.
Juno knows English and is actively studying Latin, maybe planning to take up Ancient Greek, Sanskrit, or Old Norse. Old languages pretty much.
Lacerta speaks English and Spanish, probably also took the latter in highschool despite already being fluid. Hilarious if she also speaks Klingon but keeps it a secret to protect her image.
And what's important to remember about Regulus is that, while he's annoying, all the things he thinks about himself are accurate. He IS that smart. He'd probably speak a bit of any language mentioned here and then some. (Except Klingon, he doesn't know what that is) But he's probably the most fluid in English, Farsi, and Latin.
Anyway if you noticed me saying probably and maybe a lot it's because the au still has a lot of concepts about it that are up in the air for rn so I'm not sticking to everything 100% concretely but this is what I think so far at least 👍 yay

tbh in regards to the phil and sunny thing, i think it’s just phil being a british man who is over the age of 30. that’s how they all interact with close friends’ kids and nieces and nephews n stuff. plus, he’s more up north so that kind of banter is wayyy more normal and casual. speaking from experience here, but i’m way more likely to relax around a parent’s friend that makes jokes that are sometimes at my expense than someone who is just super polite. makes them feel too distant.
sunny probs isn’t british and doesn’t feel the same tho. phil isn’t being malicious and i think he just finds sunny chaotic and fun. i think he’s also just quick to treat the new eggs how he treats the other eggs, maybe forgetting that he doesn’t really know them well enough to make jokes and doesn’t think they’ll take them srsly, esp since sunny seems to confident and headstrong.
obv, if phil gets told he crossed a line, he’ll apologise 🤷 however, it’s up to tubbo or sunny to tell him he crossed a line and for them to set boundaries. phil can’t read minds sadly. we just need some good qommunication <3 (but i like conflict too so i hope it maybe isn’t solved too soon pff)
soz for the long wall of text! just wanted to give my thoughts since i’m also from north britain and qphil is one of my povs!
(sorry if I misread anything dyslexia does not like large walls of text)
I’ve been watching phil since 2020, and he was the person to get me into twitch (funfact), generally speaking I mainly watch British streamers even though they are at a bad time for me, I do understand how Phil jokes. That’s why I didn’t take Phil’s comments about Sunny stealing very seriously, I think it’s a fine line to balance sometimes he’ll say things he’s always been comfortable joking about and I do think some people are taking that too far. Phil’s humor is sarcastic, and to outright ignore that is an inappropriate reading of his character.
My issue stems from how it treats Sunny and Tubbo’s parenting in particular with more negative comments, while I think a lot of the comments to Tubbo can be ignored (i.e questioning why he’s able to have an egg, that came off as much more lighthearted). It just not within his previous characterization the level of mocking he’s done towards Tubbo about Sunny, that were I feel its a more of a built up resentment. His attitude to Sunny in particular is more noticeably negative than how he treated any egg when they were new, and more relevant Em. He has mocked Sunny’s choices, how she talks, and has spoken negatively about them without them being there. Phil is mean to Sunny, genuinely, but he is still good with the other eggs.
I do think you’re right about him being more comfortable joking with Sunny due to her personality but at the same time she really wasn’t acting overly confident with him more childish. Also I do assume he’ll apologize if he gets told off for his attitude, but at the same time I doubt that will happen because Tubbo just doesn’t do that stuff. This is something that will hopefully fixed through time, and once he learns to completely separate them from Tallulah, which considering Tallulah’s issue with Sunny right now will take awhile to fix.
Thank you for your thoughts though, It’s nice to know how other people are taking his behavior.

okay I have a genuine question
people who have seen the Percy Jackson Disney+ show, do they EVER mention dyslexia and ADHD, bc in the first three episodes, there was no such mention, and the roommate and I will not be able to get through any further ones
like, the first episode we see Percy's dyslexia, but it's not explained what it is, and Percy describes things that as someone with ADHD I recognize as ADHD symptoms but again it's not explained what it is
and just showing/describing something is not enough imo, esp given the source material
#my mom says they mention it but idk she might be misremembering#also related question: PJO fans did you enjoy the show#bc it's quite obvious that I very much DID NOT#(btw I took a peek at the summaries of the other episodes and holy shit#it just gets worse and worse! like Sally doesn't even petrify Gabe that happens on accident?????)#(fucking. it felt like they were trying to give Sally some more agency in the first few episodes#but then you take THAT away from her? and I'm guessing play it for laughs???)#speecher speaks

input on dyslexia thing: for our system we all have dyslexia to some degree but it seems worse with certain members, esp H bc hes very energetic and rushes through everything and doesnt slow down to read. our adhd symptom holder also struggles more bc its so easily distracted

I love the fact that people are enjoying my loregasm posts!
I actually didn't expect them to be popular or lots of people to enjoy them? (ESP with my LD in spelling and grammar and dyslexia on full show in these.) Like part of why I'm doing this is to sort out and figure out aspects the lore for myself and make sure I get things pretty correct in my fanfics. ALSO to rant about history to my little history nerd heart's content.
I'm always a lore nerd too. So it was only a matter of time before I did something like this. But I keep getting notes about people liking them? And people keep thanking me for them? And I'm just so happy you all enjoy them? Thank you all for encouraging my nerdiness.
#merlin loregasm rewatch#people that enable me by telling me they like my stuff are VERY IMPORTANT#ILU
