#esp when its a dog that doesn't get played with v often and Wants to play

[piplupod]

i feel like i'm an incredibly annoying person to have over at a house because if there is a pet in the house i will be paying way too much attention to them every time they are in the same room as me. i am unable to be normal about animals existing in the same space as me.

if you have a pet and i know about it, there will be at least 20% of my brain dedicated to thinking about how theres an animal on the property the entire time I am there.

if a cat walks in, i WILL look over at it for a few seconds and not pay any attention to a single thing anyone is saying. if a dog walks in, i WILL be trying to figure out if i can make friends with it in a way that doesn't make everyone roll their eyes at me.

Hey bestie✨love your fanfics! May I humbly request a Glitchy Rex x insecure reader? Perhaps autistic too? If not thats cool ✨

im gunna answer this in a bulleted headcanon typa post, which is hopefully fine bc if i write One more fanfic, esp w glitchy i Will explode ( and yes i am still procrastinating on the one i have a draft of. i got two of my back teeth pulled out and am recovering so thats my excuse + its so long and too much writing for me to comprehend rn + I do not have many "new" ideas )

newayz, ofc ofc!! we love our autistic couple

glitchy red x insecure ( and autistic ) reader !

♡ guess who's also autistic. thats right babey its glitchy!!!!!!! he's the ADHDtism creature. along with a lot of other stuff. but rlly whatd u expect. he's a red.

♡ due to this, he'll happily listen in on your rambles or partake in activities that make you happy. you got special interests? he might not understand a word of any of it for some things, but he'll happily listen and intake the info and try to add to the conversation by asking questions. he likes your voice as its an extreme comfort of his, so your rambling is very nice.

♡ i like to imagine before he somehow gets out you twos day to day life when hes still inside of the cartridge is just turning it on and you idly rambling to him while he listens, gives input, and updates you on how he is over there. you are a v comforting presence to him and you give him a reason to want to leave.

♡ he himself would ramble so much abt pokemon to you. my mind is mentally metronoming glitchy hcs between "he would hate a lot of pokemon stuff" or "he would be so autistic abt pokemon" . prob changes depending on the time of day and what he's talking abt specifically, but he does like at least explaining or talking about his whole... living situation in the cartridge, along with pokemon and their stats and whats the best for certain gyms, and strats and stuff like that, along with really obscure facts. he's seen it all and he's seen a bunch of different players playstyles, so it's natural to him to have absorbed that kinda info and be interested in it. competitive mf...

he is literally this image.

♡ if you're ever self-deprecating around him or something of the sort, he's going to verbally attack you with compliments. moreso responding with like "What? That's stupid." and maybe following up with a compliment to the part of yourself you insulted, eg "Your face is the prettiest thing I've set eyes on. It's not ugly." he'll also be sure to kiss around that spot more often and compliment you more often and more casually.

♡ similarly, if anyone insults you intentionally or not he is on their ass, like a fucking rabid guard dog if he was present for when it happened. he'll be yelling at them, or quietly telling them off with like, a simple "Shut up." or something, depending on how bad it is. if you feel bad about it he'll once again try to reassure you that you're perfect the way you are to him and that whoever told you that was scum. he likes to be aggressive and make clever yet insulting quips since he doesn't have much of an outlet for his internal rage, and it also makes him act all cool so he sort of enjoys when somebody is being a dick because it just means he can make you watch him verbally destroy them. and he likes to impress you.

♡ if this happens but its like, prolonged harassment, he is literally going to doxx whoevers being a bitch towards you /hj. moreso, he's going to track them down and try to threaten them so badly that they don't do jack shit to you after that.

♡ i like to think glitchy is constantly moving some part of his body. he's pretty impatient, and will usually resort to thumping his foot quietly or drumming his fingers along a table. stuff like that. he will also often shove his hands in his pockets and play around with the fabric inside of it. give him a stressball, that shit will be popped so quickly. he also likes to idly throw something up in the air and catch it if hes reaallly bored. he usually does this w/ his pokeballs.

♡ this is good in a relationship if you like touch, cuz' glitchy will put his attention on you when hes bored or zoning out, and will instead often touch you or kiss you or talk to you. one of his favorite things is brushing his thumb over your hand, or running his hands through your hair or something.

♡ because you are probably pretty open with your interests to him, finding gifts for you comes pretty easy. he also just has a good natural sense for gift-giving, i'd think. like he subconsciously sees something and goes "oh, maybe you'd like that" in his head. don't ask how he gets these, he probably doesn't have money ( he manipulates his glitchy powers to duplicate the item like missingno, or just straight up teleports it to you/your home or something. likely both. )

♡ he really just thinks your the sweetest thing ever, and also you know a looot of stuff he doesn't. he's new in the real world, so watching you explain very specific things that happen in real life to him fascinates him, genuinely... its another reason why he loves your rambles. he could listen to you explain anything with a lovestruck expression ( ...which is constantly a resting neutral expression with a small smile sometimes, he's not super expressive unless hes mad. )

♡ if you're averse to certain foods or textures, he'll learn that quickly, since he does try to cook for you on occasion... maleeewife.. on first impression to most people that aren't you, he acts like he doesn't really care about you but he really really does - he's just not that expressive a lot of the time and he also is awkward with PDA.

♡ he himself probably gets overwhelmed with or icked out by a lot of food tbh so he eats pretty slowly and also has to gradually get used to certain foods with overwhelming flavors. he's used to literally not eating anything so this makes sense. its also the 'tism tho.

♡ he likes to cuddle while you do any activities you like. its comfy and he gets to see what ur doing. win/win.

♡ he's touchstarved but also hates getting touched suddenly. if you are the same he relates. due to this, early on in the relationship he'll instinctively flinch if you touch him w/o warning probably. but the further u get the more he follows you around like a lovesick puppy yearning for your touch

♡ overall he just loves u soooo sooo much.. you can say literally anything to him and he'll hum and nod and go "Uhhuh." with a small tiny little itty bitty smile on his face... this is where he feels safest. in your arms or holding you in his own while you just talk to him.

IT WON'T LET ME COPY AND PASTE SMH ... but !! top three favorite muses you've played ? how many pets do you own ? if none , what kind of animals do you like !! ( much love , friend !! )

top three favorite muses you've played: i still have these on my list, but the first is wanda maximoff. i really have enjoyed her story so far, esp during wandavision and into multiverse of madness. seeing her evolve into the scarlet witch and then seeing her in MoM doing everything she can to get to her children even if that meant becoming, for the moment, a villian like character. its fun to like figure out her justifications, her motives, to write her feeling of always being a mother and wanting it so bad in MoM she's willing to do whatever to get it ? even if, in the end, she sees its wrong to take a version of her sons from their own in universe mother. wanda's powers, the power she has a nexus being, is also veyr interesting to me ! her story is a tragic one, getting everything taken from her and i tend to gravitate toward those kind of muses. a the 'im not a monster, im a mother' figures--like she said in the movie. maybe bc its easy for me to get in those kind of mindsets.

the second one is rhaenyra targaryen. i don't get to write her often rn, but i love her story as well. she's also, surprise, a very good and passionate mother figure. but, she's also strong and determined. she can have a softness to her for those she loves, but it isn't her entire character. she has grit, she can bare her teeth esp when it comes to her birthright being stolen from her. i'm excited to see her in the second season and how she evolves in the wake of her son being killed in the final episode and in whats to come. i also just love the targaryens lmao.

the third is prob chani kynes from dune. i've read her in the books and seen her in the movies and kinda mesh those two mediums together as well as my own headcanons? what i like about her is her fire, is her fighting ability and her fierce nature. she's outspoken, she's strong, she's stubborn and knows what she believes and doesn't even if the man she loves is becoming this entity she isn't entirely in support of bc she's scared of what it'll do to him and what it means for her people, her planet she loves so. chani is a warrior first at her core, but she's also a wife and a mother. she holds these moments of softness, which she rarely does growing up somewhere so harsh, for those who matter most to her. and she's willing to kill for them if she has too, something she would have no issue with if it kept them safe. but, i also love how . . to the end . . she placed so much importance on her people, on her planet, on them not being forgotten in this chaotic coming of the 'messiah' in paul. because arrakis is so important to her.

how many pets do you own?: two, both corgi's ! the eldest is woodie, he's three years old. he's more of an auburn tan color. he's very much . . quirky but in the way that he has his own distinct personality. we got him right after our family dog, zack, suddenly passed away so he's a v special dog to us. then second is miss dena, she's one about to turn two. she's more tricolored. mostly black with some white chest/stomach bits and tan on her eyebrows and face. we got her when woodie was about two and she's such a lovey dog--i love how much she wants to be loved on and give love. she's jus a little baby n we love her to bits. <33

hello gay audiobook anon here, so i am well into book 2 and i have to say there are so many people learning so many things about the ways their nephews and uncles and father figures like to fuck (burrich the bitey stallion be still my loins). my favourite tho is nighteyes chiming in every so often like a cross between the michael jackson popcorn gif and Texts From Dog

anyway, i am very interested in how gender is playing out too, like the world is built ostensibly equal (women as warriors and in all walks of life, female inheritance etc) but still very much not in practice? or is that just my perception? v glad to see molly, kettricken, patience and lacey (lacey!!!!!) balancing out the sausage fest a bit lol what r ur thoughts, & does the gender stuff develop more later? i assume so esp bc of the fool.

Oh my god unfortunately people continue to learn things about the sex lives of people of whom they definitely did not want to know anything about for like....ever in these books hdkhfskkd I feel so bad for Fitz 😂

The gender stuff in this series is.....something lol. It has a fair amount of female characters compared to a lot of fantasy series, and obviously the Fool challenges a lot of ideas about binary gender constantly through the series, but unfortunately I'd say on a whole I was more frustrated than not with the overarching messaged I got regarding gender. It's partially because of the fact that there are so many female characters and that the Fool seems to be so well written (as far as I can tell his portrayal as a nonbinary character appears to be taken seriously and done respectfully and with a fair amount of realism, although I'm not entirely clear on how intentional it was and I wouldn't say it's perfect. I'm also not nonbinary myself so i cant speak from experience, but I think there's quite a few rote fans who are and who have written on the topic if you wanna dig into that more) that I feel this way bc I feel like hobb sets you up in these books for something that will have some sort of positive or interesting or progressive thoughts around gender, or will at least show follow through with the way its set up six duchies society to interact with gender, but for the most part it,,,doesn't. Ostnetiably the country is completely unbiased when it comes to women holding land or titles or jobs that were traditionally male, but the actual way characters interact and the way characters perceive things like jobs and family and stuff feels like it takes place in a fairly rigid patriarchal society. This also makes it interesting when you go to other locations in later books that are supposedly more patriarchal and find that while there's more explicit "stay in the kitchen" behavior there, the ultimate roles a lot of characters get chucked into are like...very similar in the Six Duchies anyway. In addition to this the Rain Wild chronicles are just god awful when it comes to gender, just like truly the worst most "there are boys and there are girls and boys do this and girls do this and never the twain shall meet etcetc" and you keep reading and hoping there's some hidden theme or some way this is gonna get turned on its head and it does not it just continues to get worse.

THAT SAID I do think the female characters are for the most part engaging and well-rounded (if not always given the importance i think they deserve), and there are many of them. And the Fool is hands down the best character in this series imo, and the amount of focus on him serves the series well as it allows gender and identity to be played with and engaged with in a variety of ways while also ensuring he's a 3D character not a joke or a cardboard cutout who's there specifically and only to be a lesson for Fitz (again, I'm not like 100% sure how much RH was aware of what she was doing with him but if she's ever made a statement about it it was clearly less inflammatory than the shit she said about the fitz/fool relationship which is....probably a good sign). I just find she didn't think through the potential implications of some of her world building choices and got kind of stuck in the mould of "this is what a fantasy world is like." And also just. The entire Rain Wild traders series gave me pause as to what her thoughts on gender actually are lolololol if you're looking for a series to skip that is it!!!!!! It's not worth it for the cameos.

Also I know some of my gripes are very vague here but I don't wanna spoil you for things! I have specific things that annoy me about the way certain characters' stories turn out and also very specific gripes with the rain wild traders in particular that I won't detail bc I don't wanna tell u stuff you'd rather find out on ur own.

Hi! Am I the only one who finds it quite distrubing that aidan was playing a main role in a gay porn serie? I mean licking a young boy's ass and having gay orgy in front of the cameras while he was married and was a father of a newborn baby.. Please, do not misunderstand me, but I think everything has a limit and those things he had done in that porn serie were far beyond normal acting. I feel I can't talk about it with the other fans, and you seem to be a great person who doesn't judge, part2

Part2. I’m not homophobic, I had a gay english teacher and a friend, but they understood it that their unique sexual life is their own private thing if you know what I mean, and behind that thing there is usually a traumatic experience.. Anyway what aidan was doing in that serie was fucking disgusting. You know it’s not a big surprise that her daughter, berry has become a man, maybe she was uncomfortable with her father’s roles? She keeps making photos ofbher beeding nose and scars and things li

So there is cleraly something wrong with his “daughter”. Idk I just don’t understand this man, unfortunately when I like somebody as an actor becausw of his her incredible talent I cant help but looking for infos of her his life. And I was in shock what I have found in aidan’s early career. What are your thoughts about it? Or are these things so natural to the others?

Wow, there’s a *lot* crammed into these messages, anon. I don’t think you’re reacting from a place of malice here, so please take my response below not as judgment but more like a series of observations and suggestions.

re: Queer as Folk (UK)I’ve seen the show and I liked it. It’s not for everybody, I give you that. It does have parts that undoubtedly veer into soft porn territory, but overall it isn’t porn, imo. To me it’s a story about a guy who’s 1st sexual experience was getting raped by a gym teacher at age 11-12(?) and, as a result, he’s become someone who only connects to others via sex. Him being gay is *not* the issue, it is *not* the problem, it is *not* a symptom. His unaddressed trauma which he tries to pass off as sth “cool” and tries to retroactively “normalize” via aggressive hypersexuality *is* the problem, and the show gradually brings this point home, imo. He cannot be intimate unless it’s physical & meaningless, but he starts to learn to modify this behavior w/ the help of his best friend who’s also the one he’s been in love with (and thus has been avoiding having sex with). I’m not saying it doesn’t contain provocative or even potentially triggering material, or that it’s flawless family fun (I know it’s been bashed for stereotypical portrayal of “sex-crazed” gay culture), but again, to me, it is about so much more than the sex scenes. I don’t think straight ppl should be in the business of judging the merits of shows like this one + I don’t know much about how it was received, so I really don’t want to get into all that. All I can say is that I found a very human story underneath all the steaminess, and if sb asked me to give a “disturbing” example from his body of work (that I’ve seen), it’s not QaF but Wake Wood or Blackout that would come to mind (and he plays a straight dude in both).

re: Aidan’s “taste” in rolesI think it’s always leaned away from “normal” and “conventional”. Pain & its varied, often aberrant, manifestations seem to be one big common theme in his projects, and I find that really intriguing. He’s interested in outcasts, in all forms of “otherness”, traumas, dysfunctions, and assorted fucked up things. I share this interest and I don’t think it’s wrong at all or an automatic sign of some pathology. It’s curiosity that’s labeled “morbid” only bc we live in a world that teaches us that automatically fearing, hating, and attacking everything “different” is “normal”. But if art confined itself to artificial “norms” and boundaries, depicting only what is deemed “accepted” in any given time period, it wouldn’t be art anymore. He said that nothing deeply scarring has ever happened to him, and that these roles let him explore things he would never do and be someone he never was or will be in real life. That’s it. It’s an exploration. Not everybody is an “explorer” tho. Most ppl shun and/or reject what/who they find “different” and/or “disturbing”. Others step closer, dig deeper, and maybe even try to find some familiarity in strangeness. Aidan is like that, too, imo. But I highly doubt he brought these projects home w/ him to screen it to his children and “scar” them for life. He strikes me as someone who’s v self-aware and who wouldn’t force his R-rated interests on others, esp. his kids, but I don’t think he would forcibly shield them once they are old enough and curious. But that’s just my impression. Truth is, I don’t know him. His private life, his methods of parenting are none of my business, and I don’t seek any info or picture he himself doesn’t provide voluntarily. Also, I don’t know anything about his family members, but I know enough to refrain from “diagnosing” or labeling anyone anything simply based on what they post online (esp if they are young), so I’ll leave it at that.

re: homophobiaLet’s do a thought experiment here (not the best one but hopefully it still works). Imagine a person who has cats and has never had any interest in keeping dogs. It’s completely fine being a cat person, so no issues so far. This person also assures you that they have no problem w/ those who keep dogs. After all, they had a friend who had dogs and this friend understood that keeping dogs was “different”, a likely sign of sth bad, and so always kept the dogs hidden. Now, do we really believe that the cat person has no issue w/ those who keep dogs? Keeping cats is not the only “healthy” or “default” option. It is just one of several equally legitimate options out there. Some brave folks even keep birds. Or both cats and dogs. In other words, I think you do have an issue with gay people, anon. Being tolerant when they are not “obviously” gay is still homophobic, and Aidan’s role in QaF is tame compared to, e.g. his straight serial killer/rapist role in Blackout yet you zeroed in on the former as the most objectionable one of his career bc it depicts his character having (a lot of) consensual gay sex. Good news is that while being gay is not a problem to be corrected, being a homophobe is, and you can always choose to improve. I grew up in a homophobic environment, so I know it takes time and effort to un-learn things, but I also know it is doable and v important. I’m not saying you should start binging on gay porn ofc, but keep on educating yourself. For example, BBC Four rolled out a great miniseries this year called Queers. I highly recommend it.
