Autistic/neurodivergent 👻 (💀🧼 too bc why not/it's my comfort ship and I love them)

(chock full my own personal HCs and ideas, also mental health stuff/issues/problems heyo)

CW: brief mentions of s*icide/s*icidal ideation

I have a lot more to say about this freak, than pretty boy, ADHD brain rotted Johnny, so let’s get into it‼️‼️

Ghost is socially awkward as all hell with actual negative rizz, whether platonically or romantically. Most people write him off as weird, creepy, or scary, though that's also part of his charm and mystique for some reason.

Autistic, (and it's painfully obvious lmao). Special interests include Skyrim, DND, Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, The Witcher, etc. An absolute sweat, so it’s absurdly good at the games too. Also owns a ridiculous amount of merch pertaining to these games, from t-shirts to fucking coffee mugs. Their eyes will positively light up whenever they get the chance to geek out, and will talk your ear off about it. Soap always listening to it's nerdy rants, as he just loves to hear Simon talk no matter what it’s about. But, also because he’s always so eager to learn about what his partner likes or is interested in. Every now and then it'll get Johnny to join them for a round of DND or watch him play Skyrim or some other game, or even other members of the 1-4-1. And even though Soap and the others aren't nearly as experienced and well-versed in these games as Ghost is, they still both/all have a lot of fun. Outside of video games, they’re also obsessed with marine life and sea creatures. They're especially fond of sharks, he has a large collection of stuffed sharks/shark plushies in fact. Each with their own individual names that he loves dearly. Can't sleep without at least one plushie or shark, and sleeps with a different one each night, cycling through them. They also love to visit aquariums and the beach, and it has encyclopedic knowledge when it comes to most underwater creatures or marine mammals you can think of. He loves to show this off via party trick, or of course, just for the sake of rambling about it. It owns entire books on just sharks or marine life, and is obssessed with watching nature doctumentaries, whether it's on sea or land creatures.

Speaking of his fascination with marine life...He even keeps a few Ranchu goldfish as pets that it bought online from a breeder, (as Ranchu goldfish are one of it’s favorite fish/favorite breeds of goldfish). It thinks of them as it’s own children, and does it’s due diligence and research to provide them with the best care possible, (plus a beautifully decorated tank). Their names are Wotsit, Tangy, and Oswald. Wotsit and Oswald are males, Wotsit is red and black, and Oswald is a "calico" Ranchu. While, Tangy is female, and is orange and white.

At first, Johnny can't for the life of him understand what makes a goldfish, (fish being some of the most boring pets in the world in his humble opinion), so appealing as a pet. But he sees how happy the fish make Simon, so he doesn't really question it, just leaving it at "if they’re happy, than I guess that's all that really matters". Though the more Ghost talks about them with so much excitement and affection for it’s little fishy friends, the more Soap begins to appreciate them and kind of grow attached to them in his own way.

Simon stims by bouncing his legs, pacing, flapping their hands, or grinding his teeth (had to get braces and later a retainer to fix their teeth because of this). It used to mainly stim by rocking back and forth as a child, and he still does it from time to time to help calm himself, or for comfort when they need it. It also likes to walk on their tiptoes,—(he has exceptionally strong legs and calfs because of this habit),—especially when walking up or down stairs.

This detail is more just a general personality trait of his but whatever—

They are very expressive, (Johnny finds it absolutely adorable). Which is something not a lot of people know about him, as when the situation calls for it or when they need to get it together, he has excellent control over his emotions. A sensitive crybaby, and is a very emotional person. Quite literally can’t help it.

Ghost often has a hard time understanding other people or what they're feeling due to his autism. They're not heartless by any means, and it tries it's best to understand, but most times they unintentionally come off as insensitive or mean. He’s also brutally honest with people and never lies.

Simon needs constant reassurance due to their often low self-esteem, and Johnny is more than happy to provide that for him. Always praising them and telling them that he’s handsome, that he’s enough, that he’s perfect, and that he’s such a good boy.

(Speaking of Soap praising him, Ghost has a praise kink, to which Johnny is also more than happy to indulge. Though will occasionally use it’s kink against it, such as openly giving it praise during missions. Which Simon is always embarrassed, and seemingly hates it, but in actuality it’s the hottest thing ever).

That he loves them more than anything in the whole wide world, and would not trade him for anything. That he’d never lie, or cheat on him, (and he’s proven time and time again that he’s a man of his word). That it is his “forever” and nothing can change that.

The fact that Johnny is always so considerate of it’s needs touches Simon so deeply, as none of it’s past partners had ever been so respectful. Warming their heart, and it only continues to deepen the love he has for his partner. 💖

Ghost has a rescue German Shepherd named Riley. They love the dog to death, brings him everywhere with them. Simon especially likes to always take Riley with him when they go out jogging or for a run, or whenever they just feel like walking around the neighborhood to clear their head. The two are joined at the hip, not only because they’re incredibly attached to each other...But because Riley is trained as an emotional support animal for PTSD and anxiety-related reasons, and is also a medical alert service dog. Regarding not only some pretty nasty asthma, but he’s got some hereditary cardiovascular/heart issues that could prove to be a real problem.

Simon can't really live without him.

Riley is formerly both a fighting and military dog, they took him as their personal pooch, after no other handlers would work with him due to aggression issues. He has stunning green eyes and a beautiful black and tan coat. Though he's a bit mangy. With Ghost having handmade a leather spiked collar and a chain leash to match his overall ruggedness, though Riley's personality couldn't be farther from his tough exterior. Simon has re-trained and re-socialized him very well, and has helped him to unlearn his past temperament/behavior. Good with kids and other dogs and animals, loves people and attention. Though still has just enough bite left in him to be protective and to act as a guard dog for him and Johnny, always at the ready in case something happens. Which in Ghost's eyes is highly important and appreciated in a dog.

Riley's past history really tugged on Simon's heartstrings, so he has dedicated himself to pampering his dog. Getting him the best dog food money can buy, always looking out for a new toy for him when he goes to the store, etc. Riley often will sleep in between Ghost and Soap or at the foot of their bed.

Ghost struggles with PTSD and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). His PTSD stems from his traumatic childhood. While his anxiety is mostly a by-product of his PTSD and trauma, as well as something born from the stress of being in the military, and learning to always be on the alert, never at ease. Though both seem to be somewhat tied to his autism as well.

They have panic attacks regularly, (which can be very dangerous because of his asthma, having to carry an inhaler on him at all times). (Plus, his heart condition is heavily affected by stress, which he’s treated/medicated for, but can still pose a risk). Flashbacks occur more often than not, (their flashbacks mostly happen in their sleep, as nightmares and night terrors).

Johnny is really the only one who knows of their past and mental health. (On all government mandated material, it’s intentionally left vague. The most it recognizes is that Ghost was born in Manchester, that his father's got a lengthy criminal record, and his capture and extensive torture by Roba).

As they don’t really talk about themselves that much, half because they’d rather not bring up such painful memories, and half for the fact he doesn’t really want other people knowing his business. Either that, or it's just that either no one ever really cared to know, or people weren't stubborn (or stupid) enough to press on it further, (apart from Johnny of course).

Soap is incredibly understanding and patient, therefore, it was very easy to open up to him. (Simon still finds that Johnny's the only person he's super comfortable opening up to, but also it opens up to and overshares with Roach every now and then). Johnny has a strange sort of calming effect on Ghost. Soap being an expert on how to get Simon to relax. Even when Ghost has a whole-ass service dog, (who also happens to be registered as an emotional support animal too), for this exact reason and purpose—But, Johnny frankly doesn't give a fuck. He wants it to know that he’s there for them, and that he cares deeply for him. Simon appreciating his fawning over him, and him taking care of them greatly.

Simon also has major depressive disorder (MDD), having struggled with such since childhood, and battles with suicidal ideation/thoughts on the daily.

They have actually even attempted quite a few times in the past. (Fun fact, the closest he’d ever come to successfully killing himself, was when Soap had gone into a months long coma after having been nearly killed by Makarov).

He’ll have depressive episodes that can last from days, to weeks, to months, sometimes being borderline debilitating and/or incapacitating. Soap tries to always be there for it during hard times, and this is no exception. He tries to provide him with what they may need, whether it’s a bit of humor to get it’s mind off things, or consolation after a long day, or maybe a hug, or one of their favorite snacks from the grocery store.—All Ghost has to do is ask, but usually Johnny always knows what he needs without a word being said between them.

Ghost goes to therapy regularly, and it does help a lot, (as they’ve got a fantastic therapist, having provided them with tools that have helped to save their skin on more than a few occasions). Though unfortunately despite this,—he’ll never be completely happy or stable. But that’s fine and is something it can live with, as long as he has Soap by their side and other people to support him. 💖

And last but not least…All members of the 1-4-1 having highly specific phobias? Yes please!

As for Ghost…

He is deathly afraid of thunderstorms/has major Astraphobia, as it triggers flashbacks regarding his father’s physical abuse. Simon is about the most vulnerable you’ll ever see him during a thunderstorm, they can’t do anything but curl up into a ball and sob and shake. He’s even pissed himself from fear on a few occasions after a particularly loud clap of thunder. Soap always tries to make sure he’s by their side when bad weather is soon to come, even planning his schedule around it (if he can), or rushes home to it in the event of a storm. If they end up having an accident he’ll help to clean them up. Cuddling with him, holding them and having Ghost clinging to him while they cry into his shoulder, attempting to soothe him with lovely words and a gentle touch.

They are also afraid of bugs/have major entomophobia, their entire squad teases and makes fun of them for it, (including Johnny lmao). Though it’s all in good fun, and if Simon ever encounters a single solitary insect…It’s got comfort in knowing their buddies and Soap are there for them, and will protect them. :3 (Idk, I just think it would be hilarious that this grim reaper looking ahh mf, 6’0 or taller brick shithouse of a man, is afraid of a fly getting too close to him).

I really need to gather up my hcs for Gaz and Price and write them down, I love those two as much as Ghost and Soap…I also wanna write shit about NikPrice, bc that’s like my favorite COD ship next to GhostSoap…hrmmm

vocal stims are NOT gross.

verbal stims are NOT annoying.

big stims are NOT aggressive.

loud stims are NOT embarrassing.

there's nothing wrong with stimming. nothing wrong with vocal or verbal stims. there's nothing wrong with big or loud stims.

you stim a little? that's cool.

you stim sometimes? that's cool.

you stim often? that's cool.

you stim constantly? that's cool too!!

as a level 2, mid to high support needs autistic system, we are still working on self injurious stimming for most alters in our system. if you are not hurting others our yourself, let yourself stim. do it alone if you got to, but there's NOTHING wrong with stimming in front of people. stimming is natural for many neurodivergent folks out there.

now at first we admit, stimming in public is scary. we don't go outside much, but when we delt with our regession, and couldn't mask constantly, we had our rehabilitation specialists that we felt safe around was there. we now stim pretty much freely in public, if we are feeling fearful of people looking, we will try to use fidget/stim toys. some alters will stim loud and big with fidgets too haha. some alters quite stim. some alters big stim.

regardless of how you stim you should be allowed to stim freely. forget what others think. we has the same issue with us bringing plushies with us in public. if it helps you, it doesn't matter what people think. we know on some level unmasking is hard, but you shouldn't feel ashamed to be youself.

anyways the point is as long as you are not hurting youself of others, you can stim as much as you like ♡ - The Dreamdrop System

Sawyer is neurodivergent and you can't change my mind

Last year for Autism Acceptance Day, my good friend @pikatrainer99 and I did a collab post about Goh and our headcanon of being him autistic. Here's a link to that post if you'd like to check it out:

Today, we'd like to talk about Sawyer from Pokemon XY, another character who we both headcanon as autistic, and who means the world to me.

Let's start with his special interest, Pokemon battles. In all of Sawyer's appearances, we can clearly see his desire to learn as much as he can about battling and to grow stronger. He greatly admires strong trainers like Steven Stone and Ash. I mean, just look at how excited he gets when he hears that Ash had won five badges!

And that's exactly what he does for the rest of the series. He spends so much time studying and training that he manages to catch up to Ash within a just season's worth of episodes! But we'll get to that later.

Before going into detail about his most obvious traits, let's go over some of the traits that we only see for brief moments, starting with his sensory sensitivities. In episode 73, we see him getting visibly overwhelmed when the crowd around him, Ash, and Clemont suddenly starts cheering. We also see him shielding his eyes from Spritzee's Dazzling Gleam attack during his battle with Valerie. Note that he's the only one to react this way to both situations. I don't know about you, but I have yet to meet a single autistic person without some kind of hypersensitivity to noise, bright light, smell, texture, etcetera.

We also see in the following episode that he sometimes unintentionally gets too close to people when he's excited, not noticing their discomfort. We see this after Ash wins his gym battle with Valerie, and Sawyer is so beyond amazed and eager to learn from him that he momentarily forgets how to act "socially appropriately". Ash and his friends are visibly uncomfortable, but of course, because they're all so kind and supportive, they don't judge him for this 🥺

We also see in the first episode of XYZ that he's an amazing artist. And I mean, AMAZING! He can literally draw Squishy the Zygarde Core exactly how it looks in its official artwork, despite only having seen it for the first time that day! While not every autistic person has to have a talent like this, it's definitely not uncommon. Growing up, Pika and I both used to draw a lot, and our drawing skills were one of the few things we took pride in because of how much praise we got for it.

Now let's talk about one of his most adorable traits, which is his habit of saying, "I've gained some EXP!" Clearly he's into video games and enjoys feeling like he's in one, because this is definitely not something you typically hear in real life. This kind of escapism is quite common in autistic people, Pika and I included. In a world that's not built for us, sometimes imagining ourselves in a fictional world that we love can be really comforting and even inspiring in some cases.

You've probably noticed that Sawyer is holding his notebook in all of the last three screenshots, which is also something I'd like to get into. Not only is his notebook a crucial part of his character, but it's also a security item. Pika and I both have security items of our own, namely our phones and our favourite Pokemon plushies, which helps bring us a lot of much-needed comfort. In episode 75, we see just how panicked Sawyer gets when he temporarily loses his notebook, which quickly leads to him becoming depressed.

We know that he values his notebook deeply because it contains all he's learned on his journey, as well as an autograph from Steven Stone. But if you look deeper, it becomes clear that it's even more to him than that. He holds his notebook close to his heart, both metaphorically and literally. He hugs it after receiving approval from Ash (which I'll also get to later) Heck, he even attached his Key Stone to it! He cherishes this notebook like it's his baby, and we find that so adorable and relatable!

Okay, now it's time to get into what's arguably the saddest part of his character: his constant need of approval from others. Pika and I, as well as countless other autistic people, are no strangers to self-doubt, especially in a world where we can't meet a lot of people's expectations. Sawyer likely grew up feeling this way too, which would explain why he's always seeking Ash's approval, since Ash is the one he looks up to the most. Throughout the series, Sawyer's constantly trying desperately to catch up to him. What's even more heartbreaking is that even after he beats Ash, he still needs reassurance from him that he's become strong 🥺

And to make matters worse, he's constantly masking his frustration whenever he fails to beat Ash. The autistic community is definitely no stranger to masking either.

It's not until the episode after his Kalos League battle with Ash when we finally see Sawyer breaking down. All those hours of training to catch up to Ash only led to him losing again in their most important battle yet. He was devastated, but he couldn't show that in front of Ash out of fear of being judged. Once he and Sceptile were alone, however, Sawyer was finally able to let out all the built-up frustration. And oh boy, was it emotional to watch...

But being the resilient trainer he is, Sawyer quickly dried off his tears and reaffirmed his desire to become stronger.

It takes a lot of strength to bounce back from something like this. I also went through a lot of inner turmoil around the time XYZ was airing. But seeing Sawyer bounce back like this inspired me to keep going, and make it through the rest of that year with Sawyer as my main source of comfort.

Needless to say, I see a lot of myself in Sawyer, and so does Pika. Not only is he relatable, but his story is also a great reminder that no matter how bad things feel in the moment, we can always make it out the other side. This is an important message for a lot of people, especially within the autistic community.

Even after all these years, I still find lots of comfort in Sawyer, and I know that'll last for many more years to come 💚

we have tics. we vocal stim. we verbal stim. we have big stims. we have loud stims. we we're shamed for it by our mother. as we went through regession, the need to stim increased. we stim constantly.

there's nothing wrong with stimming. nothing wrong with vocal or vebral stims. there's nothing wrong with big or loud stims.

you stim a little? that's cool.

you stim sometimes? that's cool.

Welcome to Dyslexiboxes!

This blog is run by @lesboylycan, a polyfragmented multi-origins spiritual collective with DID and dyslexia, among many other things. This blog is aimed towards fellow plurals and neurodivergents, and our userboxes will be made to be easy to read.

This blog is a safe space for endogenic, multi-origins, and spiritual & metaphysical plurals; good-faith IDs (lesboys, gaybians, mspec monos, etc); schizo-/psychosis-spectrum folks and folks with personality disorders; and alterhumans and nonhumans, including physical alter/nonhumans. DNI if any of these are in your DNI or you otherwise cannot say the same. We are anti-fakeclaiming and anti-harassment; if you cannot say the same about yoursel[f/ves], DNI. We use the block button liberally.

Radfems are not welcome under any circumstances. I don't care if you're "trans-inclusionary"; radical feminism cannot be reclaimed in any way that doesn't end up hurting marginalized people. The core pillar of radical feminism is a hatred of men for the sake of being men; no matter how you spin it, there is no possible way to make it "good".

All hate will be deleted. Blatant harassment will be reported AND deleted.

[Guidelines and examples below cut]

General Guidelines

> All userboxes will come with an alt ID, formatted as "A userbox that states '[x]'. On the left in the image box is a/the [photo/flag/drawing/etc] depicting [y]".

> You can request different fonts for userboxes, but the default will be OpenDyslexic. The only alterations we will otherwise make to the text is changing the color and adding an outline to make it as easy to read as possible. You can also send different font types if you want something other than OpenDyslexic, but aren't sure for certain what specific font you want (serif, sans serif, script, or decorative).

> If you want a specific image, please either send the image or a link to it as part of your request; otherwise, we will pick based on what we think will be most thematically appropriate. If you want a specific kind of image, send a description of such (eg., "An image of wolves cuddling"; "An image of ocean waves"; etc).

> If you want a very specific color or color scheme, please send hexcodes (If you're looking for a good website to help, colorhexa.com is a great website for finding hexcodes)! If you just send the name of the color, we will do our best, but different colors (and shades/tints of them) often are all grouped under the same name (there are a million different kinds of "emerald green", for example). You can also send a basic idea of a color scheme ("Dark colors"; "Light colors"; "Pastels"; "Monochrome"; "Greyscale"; etc).

> Credit isn't necessary if you use our userboxes, but it is much appreciated!

> We reserve the right to not do certain requests if we're uncomfortable with them; if you aren't sure and would like to know where your request stands, feel free to send an ask!

> Please only send one request per ask. You can send multiple asks, just keep each request within its own ask; that way, we have a better idea of what our workload will be when looking at our inbox.

What we will do

> Plural-focused userboxes! Include system, sisasystem, and headmate origins; layer types; system functions; etc. For plural-focused userboxes, by default, we will make four versions that say "This user...", "This system...", "This plural...", and "This collective..."; for headmates, by default, we will make five versions that say "This user...", "This headmate...", "This alter...", "This member...", and "This part...". Feel free to request specific words (eg., constellation, hivemind, drone, sysmate, etc), though!

> General neurodivergency-focused userboxes! Eg., "This user has schizophrenia", "This user has NPD", etc.

> Miscellaneous userboxes! Eg., "This user needs a nap"; "This user is normal about [x]"; "This user loves plushies"; etc. (We're aware this category can intersect with the above, but we figured we'd mention it for folks that aren't totally sure what is allowed)

> Modifications of previously made userboxes upon request (Note: you must link the post with the userbox in question so we know which one you're talking about)

What we WON'T do

> Userboxes that directly break the DNI (Eg., "This user is anti-endo"; "This user hates therians"; "This user believes in narcissistic abuse"; "This user hates fakers"; etc). This includes any and all bigotry.

> Userboxes with hard-to-read fonts (eg., fonts that are highly stylized with little distinction between letters)

> Userboxes with severe unreality or paranoia-inducing text

Examples

Neurodivergent Nick Jackson; headcanon list

Warnings: none

Notes: I asked some time back if anyone would be interested in neurodivergent headcanons, so I wrote some! I’m autistic and have ADHD, and have friends who are also neurodivergent, so this is based on my experience and what I’ve seen through my friends! I hope you enjoy!

— Nick struggles the most with emotion, whether it be displaying his emotion or reading other people’s emotions, it’s never been something he’s ever been good at. It’s typically why his voice/tone comes off as very monotone, as expression is difficult for him. There are, of course, people who have gotten used to this and can read him well, but for people he’s first meeting, he can come off as blunt or rude when he doesn’t mean to be at all.

— Nick stims vocally, whether it be words, phrases from his friends or tv shows, or various little noises. ‘Bacaw’ is his more common vocal stim, but he also clicks his tongue, repeats words or phrases he hears in conversation, and occasionally does his pitched “hewwo” that he usually uses for spam calls. When repeating others, he usually only repeats Matt or Hangman, but will occasionally repeat after people who he isn’t very close with.

— Nick uses chewelry ( chewable jewelry ) as another way of stimulation when understimulated or overwhelmed, as he often grinds his teeth together or chew his nails. He used to use baby teething rings, but they typically broke after some use, so Matt had found him something more durable. Nick’s favorites are either just the chewing sticks or anything in a more round shape.

— Nick’s comfort items are his old Bullet Club hoodie, his pillow, and this plushie keychain he got from Kenny years ago in Japan that stays hooked to his backpack. He hates traveling without any of these things, as he gets very anxious without his little comfort things. He does remember one time he had left his pillow at home and how Adam tried to make things better by buying him a new one, though it didn’t help much at all because it wasn’t Nick’s pillow, despite it being the same.

— Nick does have sensory issues, just not as intense as others. As his sensory issues are not very touch focused, Nick isn’t much of a picky eater (Although he does have his safe foods he will fall back on every so often, such as Wendy’s fries and grilled chicken.) Nick can’t handle strong scents, often making him very tense and overwhelmed. Candles aren’t often lit at his home and any cologne he wears is very light. On top of this, he doesn’t really have an issue with noise either and would prefer a lot of noise rather than none at all.

— Nick is always doing something with his hands. Snapping his fingers, playing with threads on his clothes, patting his thighs, playing with his hair, messing with the zippers on his bag, etc. He does try to do things that are silent to not disturb others, so he doesn’t really use fidget toys.

What makes Peridot from Steven Universe the autistic girlie ever of all time? Here's what the people have to say:

Peridot-related asks/reblogs: x This post will be updated after each round!

Image ID in alt text and under the readmore.

[Image ID. White slide with a screenshot of Peridot in the bottom right corner, she is smiling and wearing her red bowtie. She is surrounded by text boxes which read,

"She doesn't get social cues. Like, at all. She takes things too literally and she's very blunt herself. When she tries to joke, she can come off as rude or insulting, cause again, doesn't get social cues. She's a little nerd who loves disassembling and making stuff. Also she's my blorbo and I have autism so therefore so does she, hope this helps <3"

"literally everything abt her. she stims she has sensory overloads she has a special interest in tech she doesn’t understand social cues"

"I'm going to start this off by saying that the creator of the show pretty much confirmed all of the gems are neurodivergent, since they're aliens and don't think and act like humans. Peridot is who I'm nominating since I believe she's one of the most relatable gems to a lot of autistic people (including myself) Okay, so she's pretty bad with communicating with others, especially early on in the series. When trying to apologize to Amethyst, she records herself with her voice recorder (which is also shown to be a big comfort to her) and plays that recording for Amethyst instead of speaking directly to her She is extremely literal, not understanding human phrases and jokes (ex: Steven: Oh peridot, you're killing me! Peridot: I am not! That would violate our truce agreement!) She says things and doesn't understand why those things were upsetting for other characters, such as when she was pointing out how Amethyst is smaller than she's supposed to be. She found this funny and thought Amethyst would too, but Amethyst was upset since she's insecure about being "wrong", and Peridot didn't realize what she said was upsetting to Amethyst She makes up words and phrases for things so they make sense to her (ex: calling fingers "touch-stumps") She repeats the word "clod" a lot, possibly as a stim She gets a tablet later on in the series and is very excited since it reminds her of her old tech. She attaches it to her arm with a velcro strap, and spends a lot of the episode on the tablet. I believe technology is one of her special interests, and the tablet is a comfort item. In that episode Amethyst takes the tablet and tries to throw it in the ocean, causing Peridot to get very upset, yell "It's all that I am!", and activate her new metal powers (she's able to levitate metal, allowing her to save her tablet) She may also have a special interest in a show called "Camp Pining Hearts", as she's shown spending a large amount of time watching it by herself and with Lapis Lazuli. In Steven Universe Future, there's a remake of the show and she is very excited to watch it with Steven, but she doesn't like it. They spend the episode trying to change it to be better with Steven's dream powers, until Peridot realizes it's stressing out Steven and making him afraid of her leaving if he can't make it right I'm positive I'm missing things, but I think this is long enough already lol"

"Trouble socializing, doesn't understand why jokes are funny outside literal terms, stims vocally and physically, gets really obsessed with Camp Pining Hearts. Has trouble understanding emotions. Relied on accommodations to function and has comfort objects like tablets and an alien plushy."

"*tells joke* *person doesn’t laugh* “that was the incorrect response” "

"She's very literal, all the time, even for a gem (and not all gems are literal anyways). Uses her pre recorded voice as a way to get her more complicated thoughts out, so it's like an ACD. She mimics behaviours. She has echolalia with one word especially. Very strange humour. She's upset by other gems' unpredictability, and doesn't understand hoe what she says can hurt the other crystal gems. She has meltdowns that others call temper tantrums. She makes up a word system that makes sense to her, in order to help with her communication issues."

"Vocal stimming, talks very literally, can’t tell when others are upset, people pleaser, emotional regulation problems"

"She just is" End ID.]

this has been tumbling around in my mind for the last week so now i have to expose all of you to it. shoutout to @wellgoslowly for listening to this in person

lockwood LOVES listening to classic rock and metal (as well as a few older pop-punk but he'll never admit to it). anything from the seventies and eighties (he pretends that no other era of metal exists and if you even say the phrase "nu metal" around him he WILL see red and draw his rapier). it doesn't matter who the band is or what subgenre they are, as long as the song was released pre-nineties he loves it, although he tends to prefer more mainstream bands and artists (respect) like ozzy osbourne, judas priest, kiss, etc. the only band he will break this rule for is metallica - they are his all-time favorite band and i will die on that hill. and when i say he WORSHIPS james hetfield... that is an UNDERSTATEMENT. james is like a pseudo-father to him. he doesn't want to put posters on his walls so he keeps a scrapbook of pictures cut out of old magazines of james, lars, kirk, cliff, even jason and rob. he is a number one dave mustaine hater and will defend lars's drumming skills until he's blue in the face. lucy got him a signed copy of ride the lightning for his birthday one year and george didn't see either of them leave lockwood's room for a week. there are only three things he loves in this world: his family, his friends, and james hetfield.

lucy, i feel like, has the most whiplash taste in music. like, yes, we can all agree lucy is your average indie pop listener and i am a major supporter of that hc (i know what linnie’s playlists sound like) but i guarantee you when she shuffles her most-listened-to playlist it goes from crane wives immediately to cannibal corpse. she loves death metal, deathcore, goregrind; the nastier the better (except for black metal - iykyk). the era doesn’t matter to her either although she tends to gravitate toward the older stuff. think opeth, cryptosy, morbid angel, deicide, obituary, venom, slayer, even xavlegimaofffassssitimiwoanindutroabcwapwaeiippohfffx - she loves playing the “can i figure out the name of the band given the logo” game and if she loses she listens to them. she finds it a great way to unleash her stress and anger without hurting herself or others or even taking it out on a case. she doesn't like to mosh (autism) but she loves watching people in the pit at concerts. she drags lockwood and george to the store to help her pick out plushies to give to corpsegrinder. one night she goes to a taylor swift concert and rushes out at the end to make it to sanguisugabogg in time. she's also a big female-rage/female-led fan (fem supporting fem yk how it is). if there is even a single fem-presenting band member she is instantly ride-or-die (within reason, of course). any time conquer divide/castrator/cyrpta do an eu tour she essentially becomes a roadie.

george. oh, george. my beloved kin. the only one who understands me and i him. his taste in rock and metal is... i don't know a better way to describe it other than neurodivergent fruity. it needs to have some kind of element to it that he can latch onto other than just the music - costumes, over-the-top production, detailed lore, etc. like lockwood, he doesn't really care about the subgenre; as long as he likes the sound he'll listen. he tends to frequent more of the nu/prog/melodic/symphonic side of metal, though. he's your average autistic ghost fan and makes it everyone else's problem. he knows all the lore and has dedicated his life to every incarnation of papa (primo is his favorite but he loves them all). he can tell the ghouls in every era apart in an instant and is a consistent quintessence ghoul kinnie. he will not hesitate to get into twitter beef to defend his opinions (bro's in the trenches of toxic ghostwt). he's one of the most well-known ghost accounts on every social media platform and actively writes fanfiction (about the characters, NOT the real people), character analyses, and essays. he's also a HUGE sleep token fan (he understands their lore better than vessel himself and has created a youtube commentary channel just to break down each of their songs) and ice nine kills fan (he's a number one ricky armellino lover and has forced lockwood and lucy to watch all of the horror movies that the silver scream one and two are based off of). he loves avatar and made his own ringmaster costume (lucy walked in on him trying to recreate johannes's makeup and slowly backed out of the room; the situation was never mentioned again) and when chris motionless unveiled his new hair he screamed so loud that the others thought someone had broken into portland row (lockwood had to restrain him while lucy hid his laptop to prevent him from ordering purple hair dye). he has a ziplock bag of (definitely expired) marshmallows that he calls his “rammstein concert care package.” he pretends to be a gatekeeper but the instant someone mentions even a passing interest in any of his favorite bands he will burst into tears.

skull enjoys smooth jazz.

#big fan of projection in this house #they all listen to rock and metal but none of their subgenres overlap #and i love them for that #george's paragraph is just an autobiography #i've been diagnosed with chronic george karim kinnie syndrome. it's incurable #this went off the rails so sorry #metalhead aaron’s hcs strike again #anthony lockwood #lucy carlyle #george karim #netflix lockwood and co #lockwood netflix #lockwood and co #anthony bloody lockwood #save lockwood and co #queer-and-nerdy

Brain Rot

Mkay finally gonna do this cause I'm bored af and have nothin to do.

Character headcanons for the 141

Ghost- He very much is a sensory guy. Has to feel things before wearing clothes, has to make sure it doesnt scratch his skin. Part of the reason he hates touch is how rough peoples hands can feel, the callouses too much and he h a t e s it. Also why he wears gloves, the insides are lined with a soft fabric and it keeps the rough stuff off his hands. The only one who knows about this is Price and thats because he one time walked in to Ghost being near panic attack cause he couldn't find his gloves and wouldn't take any offered to him.

Soap- I feel like this man sleeps with his door open at home. The demons can stare, he'll stare back. Not in the slightest bothered by it just because if the doors open he can see whats out there, always sleeps with his door cracked open on base, able to see light peeking through and the shadows if someone approaches. Gaz tells him he's weird for this but he finds it funny when someone walks up and he just goes "Come in >insert name<" before they even knock.

Gaz- This bitch has a stuffie. Fight me on this but he's got a little stuffy (strongly feel like its a horse for some reason) that comes along on missions. Its tucked in his vest and not a soul knows about this. He had a pocket made tucked to the side just so theres less risk of the plushie being shot and the thing has been patched up once by Ghost of all people. Neither talk about it, but Ghost will wordlessly check on Gaz's plush when checking on him just because how much it means to Gaz. I feel like Price knows about this as well, and lets Gaz be with it because it helps Gaz stay level headed.

Price- This man is well versed in the world of neurodivergent. He is convinced whole heartedly his kids team members all have something going on and just adapts to it. Ghost has a rough sensory day, he's there with a soft hoodie and some gloves to help him re-regulate. He sees someone pull Soap's door closed while he's napping and cracks it back open so the man doesn't have a heart attack when he wakes. Gaz asks for the pocket to be added and grants it without question. Helps him with the recruits from time to time because he notices these things and just fixes it. Even sometimes does it to Laswell. She has this one audio issue and when things get bad for her he just levels the look and everyone shuts the fuck up.

Roach- He feels powerful when out of reach. Aka you will find his ass sitting on the fridge. Why? He likes it. Has convinced Ghost to give him a ride on his shoulders, practically beaming the whole time. Got yelled at by Price for climbing ontop of some equipment in the gym, partially because he only did it to scare the fuck outta Soap who never learns to expect him up there. Gaz just takes it as a challenge to find the latest spot, and the gc just has a streak counter of who's found Roach's perch each day.

Wanted to make my first actual talking post cause I need y'all to know that this space is safe for those who may not feel welcome in their own communities.

No matter anything, you are loved.

Aspec people? Your love is so different from what others expect it to be, and if you're loveless you're so so valid and I love you in the same way I love the universe. Asexual, aromantic, aplatonic, asensual, every a- out there: you're not broken. You're not wrong for being yourself and I love you like all the stars in the sky, so many more than what's visible.

Alterhumans? No matter what/who you are, you're beautiful for exploring your identity as something non-human, human-adjacent, or human in a different flavor! You're amazing and wonderful and I'm so proud of you for even considering being yourself in a world not built for you. Human, animal, object, concept, doesn't matter because you still deserve respect and love. I love you like all the little bugs I find outside, all beautiful and free.

People with conflicting labels? You're so cool. I don't care if you identify as a man and a lesbian at the same time. I don't care if you identify as a woman and a gay bear at the same time. I don't care how you identify, you're a living being and you're just as valid as everyone else. I love you like trinkets, all so unique and beautiful in your own ways.

Systems? You're spectacular and no origin of system or headmate could change my mind. Your system came about from trauma? I'm so proud of you for coping with your trauma and living your life happier and healthier with others that can support you. No trauma? That's okay! It's none of anyone else's business how you came about, what matters is that you're living your life the best way you can and I'm so proud of you. I love you like yarn, all so wonderful and varying and full of endless possibility.

Disabled people? Your disabilities don't make you any less deserving of respect and love, no matter what anyone says. You don't need to prove your usefulness to anyone that actually deserves to know you. You're allowed to be "useless". Your existence is a blessing even though I know it can be so difficult or impossible to do even basic tasks, and your worth is way beyond whatever anyone tells you you "should" be able to do. I love you like plushies, made to love and be loved, made to exist.

Neurodivergent people? You're so strong. This world was not built for your mind that varies so greatly from what's expected of you. Those of you that have a "dangerous" disorder, you're so valued and I'm so proud of you for being your best self, no matter those that say you're insane or manipulative just for being yourself. I love you like nature, unpredictable or scary to those unwilling to understand, you're beautiful not despite your brain but in tandem with it.

Xenogenders? You're epic. It's so awesome that you've been able to identify with concepts, objects, animals, characters, literally anything! You can be anything! Isn't that amazing? I don't care if it's cringe, I don't care. You're being yourself and that's so amazing. I love you like art, found in every place you look if you're looking with an open mind.

Religious people? It's so amazing that you've found something to believe in that helps you live your best life. As long as you're not using your religion to put others down, you have my support. It's so spectacular that you have something you believe in. Please don't let anyone take that away from you. I love you like rainbows, a miracle of life and a wonderful sight to see.

People with personality disorders? You're so valid. Granted I don't know much, but I do know that you deserve love and respect just as much as anyone else. No matter how misunderstood or mistreated, you're safe here. I'm always willing to learn and understand how to be a good person to everyone, no matter how "scary" you are. You're wonderful and I hope you know that. I love you like the ocean, full of so much vastness and beauty below the surface.

I love you I love you I love you!!!

However,

If you are a shitty person who forces yourself onto others or thinks that others are below you for what they believe in, do NOT be anywhere near my page. If you are any sort of -phobic, any sort of "minor liking person", any sort of asshole: I will automatically block you and you are NOT welcome here.

If you use my wholesome post to start drama or controversy I will block you. This is not a safe space for you if that is your intent.

This page is for loving, not hating.

#aspec #alterhuman #mspec safe #endo safe #plurality #disabled pride #neurodivergent #xenogender #religion #personality disorder #i love you

rottmnt!Raphael gets the comfort he deserves

hey gang i’m not feeling so great, so here’s me projecting onto my favorite turtles again!!!

(i am totally avoiding hw rn but shhhhh raph (me) needs the comfort)

TCEST DNI THIS IS FAMILIAL LOVE/AFFECTION!!! I HAVE A BAT!!!

No tws from what i can tell? Maybe just cws for depression and such. If any of yall think i need to add one, please tell me, ty!

Headcanons/Tags for this oneshot:

He/She Raphael

They/It Donnie

She/Her Mikey

He/Him Leo

They are all the big neurodivergent cuz idk how to write neurotypical people :skull:

Raph is 100% burnt out/depressed autism but she has the best support system ever frfr

FLUFF AND COMFORT SO SO SO MUCH FLUFF AND COMFORT

So it was one of these days huh?

Raph grumbles into his pillow, brows furrowing at the rough texture. He shakes out his heavy arms before flipping the pillow over. This does absolutely nothing to help alleviate the uncomfortable scratching.

She huffs, pushing the pillow away entirely, planning on using her arms as a replacement. They work decently (despite the spikey nature).

The lack of energy finally catches up, and he falls asleep.

...

And when he wakes up, there’s a warmth at his side. It’s warmer then his plushies, but still cold. It seems to have scales as well and- oh.

“So from there, I’ll finally be able to reset the router-” the warmth was Donnie, “and connect the files to, welcome to consciousness by the way, my device.”

It was a quick greeting, spoken under a hushed tone. From there Donnie continues to info dump, and Raph continues to listen.

She is lulled to sleep by Donnie’s voice, while it continues to explain it’s “Major Awesome Cool Particle Accelerator.”

...

The next time he comes to, the warmth has moved to the top of his shell.

Mikey.

Shockingly enough, the room is not filled with noise. There’s just a comforting blanket of silence that covers the room, with the only real noise coming from the switch in Mikey’s hands. It’s soft and fluffy, kind of like ice cream.

Raph’s stomach growls at the thought, and Mikey’s head shoots up from it’s resting spot. She smiles in understanding, before reaching at the bedside drawer. Raph raises a non-existent eyebrow in confusion, however, the feeling is smothered by the smell of butter on toast.

An easy texture to handle, and an even easier taste. Not too overwhelming, not too bland.

Raph tears up at all the thought that went into her meal. Mikey pretends not to notice, sliding off the spiked shell and landing criss-cross next to her. Raph doesn’t sit up, she doesn’t have the full strength to do so. Mikey’s smile softens, and she glances between Raph and the toast before them, a question.

He eats it all, before promptly passing out, holding Mikey in his arms.

...

She realizes that the plush in her arms isn’t Mikey first.

Consciousness flows back to her brain like an hourglass tilted sideways. When the top is finally free of sand, she feels a hand slowly scritching the back of her head. Based on the previous visits, she can assume it’s Leo.

Raph finally processes the soft flipping of pages, knowing Leo, it’s a Jupiter Jim comic that he’s read about 100 times by now. She huffs in amusement, throwing her arms around the turtle and pulling him down. He yelps in shock, clearly unaware of her awakening.

“So, what time is it?” The words jumble out of her mouth. Soft and quiet.

“Around dinner time,” Leo giggles out, shuffling closer to her plastron, “I’m pretty sure Mikey’s gonna come in with food soon.”

That sounds nice, Raph thinks to herself.

“That sounds nice,” Raph says aloud.

And it is.

He finally sits up when Mikey walks in. He eats the noodles laid out in front of him. He stretches, gets up, walks to the couch.

He got up today, and his sibling’s eyes grow wide and fluffy and soft and caring and loving.

He got up today, and it’s progress.

He got up today, and that’s enough.

That’s enough.

Raphael Hamato is loved, no matter what time of day she gets out of bed (if she even gets up at all).

He is not alone. He will never be alone.

Not when he has his amazing family by his side.
