#i just literally can't do anything in response but sit there Aware of it lmao

[magicalyazsparkles]

I wish I could touch my friends

Cuddle close, idly play with their hair, feel down their neck and arms, fidget with their fingers, etc

But I'm just so Aware of touching. I'm so sensitive and conscious of where they are in relation to me. There's only one person that my brain allows itself to switch off and just touch, and even then it immediately snaps back to reality when he tries to touch me.

My body rejects everything beyond a quick hug and that makes me so sad and frustrated

Wait, This Is a Date!?

Riddle, Idia, and Malleus with an autistic reader who didn't realize they were on a date

Male/gn reader, autistic reader, missed signals, Idia is implied to also be autistic

A/N: I've noticed that some people aren't very obvious when asking someone out or generally establishing their feelings. I actually realized that one of my ex-friends stopped being friends with me because I wasn't picking up on their signals, what's up with people lmao

One afternoon after you had finished all of your classes, your closest "friend" approached you looking rather nervous and asked you to accompany them later. Seeing this as just a request to hang out was friends, you accepted. When he suddenly thanks you for going on a date with him halfway through your activity your caught off guard.

"Wait, this is a date!?"

Riddle Rosehearts

Oh boy, be prepared to start apologizing because the once surprised look on his face at your sudden outburst melted to one of pure sadness. He was absolutely dejected

He took this as you rejecting him halfway through the date he put so much effort into

He even baked all the pastries for your little tea party date :(

He cleared his throat and straightened his posture. He put on a serious face despite clearly being on the verge of tears, and apologized for... making you uncomfortable? Wasting your time?

Well that wasn't what you wanted

In another quick outburst you cut him off and say that you didn't actually mean it in a negative way

You started doing the usual over-explaining hoping that he wouldn't get the wrong idea (more than he already had) and apologizing for not getting his signals

The relief he felt in that moment was something he doesn't think he can compare to anything else in his life

He actually started crying for the fact that "oh thank the sevens they're not rejecting me"

After he calmed down the two of you went back to your tea party date, although both of you aware aware that it was a date this time

bonus: Trey and Cater screaming internally after watching all of that from afar (They'd be there for Riddle's first date as emotional support you can't convince me otherwise)

Idia Shroud

Lord have mercy you're going to kill him

It took him so much to build up the courage Ortho blackmailing him to come over and play video games just for you to not know he was asking you on a date???

He played Stardew Valley with you what could be more romantic than that???

He kinda just sits there and stares at you

He's processing give him a minute

Literally the only response he gives you is just a "Uhh..yeah. Duh." (he's trying to not give away how disappointed he is)

And in you just respond with an "Oh."

Awkward level 100%

After sitting there for a few seconds rocking back and forth to make yourself a little more comfortable, you take a deep breath and lean your head on his shoulder

"Well I like this date."

He tries to hide his flustered face after that, but you can see the tips of his hair turn a soft pink in contrast to the usual blue

He really is bad at hiding his emotions

for the rest of the night the two of you keep playing video games together, and you eventually fall asleep on him, which he freaks out about but tries not to wake you up

Really just two autistics trying to figure out how to date and flirt

Malleus Draconia

So funny thing

He thought the two of you were a couple long before the two of you went on your "first date"

You know that thing on tiktok that's like "check with your autistic s/o that they know your dating because it turns out I've been dating someone for months and had no clue" Yeah that's the two of you

In his eyes it was established that the two of you had been dating. He probably confessed in his old poetic fae way of talking.

So he was just like "You are the sunrise to my day, the cool breeze on a summers day, the blood in my veins." and you were just like "Yep me and my good ol' pal Malleus. besties :)"

What do you mean friends don't give each other little trinkets they find pretty? What to you mean that's fae courting?

What do you mean friends aren't that affectionate? What do you mean friends don't hold hands, hug, and tell each other how much they appreciate them?

Honestly when you burst out with the question, he just laughs after a minute while you sit there flustered and confused

he has to sit you down and explain to you that you've both been dating for at least three months by this point. Lilia was even starting to ask him if he was going to ask you to marry him (he's impatient)

He does make sure that you're okay with this relationship and that you actually want to date him

After this you're relationship grows even stronger rather than growing weaker, he thinks it's endearing

He'll make sure to be more forward and literal with you from now on

if I'm being honest all three of them give me "autistic just not diagnosed yet" vibes. Ty for reading and have a nice day

[finnleyshortstuff]

Okay, so, disclaimer: these apply to the part of our polycule that live together and is our personal experience❤️ but this works for us, a household of 4 adults. And yes I'm aware most of these are meme questions but they are valid and I'm happy to share my experience :3

1. Synchronised digital calendar.

2. See above

3. Shit's hard, but we've got eachother. It's complicated because we're all individuals, so not everyone is dating everyone (and it should never be a requirement!! Huge red flag if someoen expects you to date all their partners too!!)

4. Talk about it. It has taken years of practice to get good at communicating, especially doing difficult conversations, but we are proficient now! Communication is a skill, practice it. (Applies to literally every single human being, btw)

5. You don't, lol. It's awesome if you do, but we're all individuals in the end.

6. You can make a schedule for showering, but we basically have an open door policy where we'll knock if someone is in the shower and 99% of the time they'll say it's okay to come in. As for bathrooms as in toilets? We're privileged with 3 toilets for 4 people, but we also have IBS patients in the 'cule so it was a requirement for us when my husband and I bought the house.

7. Everyone has their own bedroom!! Very important to have your own space, especially because not everyone is dating everyone and some of us have FWB who sleep over sometimes, too. And, you know, people need and deserve privacy.

8. This is just a matter of respect for personal space and items. But you could keep it separate. Since everyone has their own bedroom, we all also have our own desks and stuff there. People are respectful of personal space.

9. Everyone has their own bed, so this is not an issue. For things that affect everyone or difficult conversations that need to be had, we plan a family meeting. We toss a soft foam cube or roll a ball to eachother on the table to prevent dissociating during and to make sure everyone keeps focus (ADHD polycule). Again, it takes training the communication skill to get good at it.

10. We are all our own individuals. We are in no way perfect, because we've all made mistakes with polyamory before. My boyfriend and I both had the same abusive partner and we've learned valuable lessons from it. My husband has, too, since he stood by and didn't feel like he could say anything because he didn't want to intervene with my relationship. With since set new, clearer boundaries and everyone is allowed and encouraged to speak up when uncomfortable about a situation. We sit down and talk about it with the cube/ball

11. One big trip! We have a discord server for the household where we have a general communication area (general chat, memes and other content, mail&packages, animals, etc.), a help and references area (digital manuals, asking for help, addresses, etc), a dinner requests and meal plans area, a shopping list area, and everyone has their own individual area with wishlists and the like. My husband and I share a bank account because we were together almost a decade before we became (practicing) polyamorous and the others pay what they can to contribute. My husband and I will pay bills and such, but that doesn't mean that we are "in charge" or anything.

12. So we have two fridges and a chest freezer. I have my own shelf and so does my boyfriend, because we both struggle with food a lot so we need our own safe stuff that nobody touches.

13. First off: LMAO IMAGINE. Seriously: we have a dishwasher.. loading and unloading happens by whoever has spoons for it. I can't deal with dirty dishes for sensory reasons, but I'll happily unload the cleaned dishes. I can't deal with trash most of the time, so that's mainly my husbands task. Washing used to be my responsibility, but then my condition worsened to the point where I didn't have energy for anything so that's something everyone has picked up for themselves again. Etc. We make it work with communication and planning.

Things that I imagine must be really hard about being in a polycule

Remembering everyone's birthday

Scheduling a group date night where everyone's free

A bad breakup where someone leaves and everyone's messed up about it. Like if it was just me I could wallow in solitude but like damn what do you even do. Talk shit?

Related to 3 but if someone breaks up from the polycule and leaves their stuff behind then who gets dibs. Is it like by seniority or do you draw straws or what

Finding a group Halloween costume that everyone is equally hyped for

Sharing a bathroom if you all live in the same place

Idk about this one but what's the sleeping situation in the summer. Like in the winter having a group pile sounds cozy as fuck but in the summer?? When it's sweaty and awful??? Bruh I'm on the couch

I don't trust ANYONE not to eat my Nutella and for every extra person there's an additional threat I must calculate my defense against

How do you tell someone in the 'cule they need to stop eating pretzel sticks in bed without it feeling like an intervention. Is there an assigned emissary that speaks on behalf of the collective. Again, do you just draw straws? Drawing straws seems like a really good solution to a lot of these actually huh

Is there some kind of self-evaluation system that holds yall back from accidentally becoming a cult do yall just see Kim head out for a date in a white robe one morning and roll with it

Does everyone do their own grocery shopping or is it all like one big trip?

Is there enough room in the fridge for everyone's stuff or does the one with the deepfreeze reign eternal like immortan joe

If I was in a polycule and we all collectively stopped being attracted to the person who genuinely enjoys washing dishes then I don't think I'd be able to break it off with them I think I'd have to just handle that with god

(BBC Ghosts) (Alive)Thomas x Reader who's his best friend

@five-salty-bitters this is for u, I'm sorry I took so long, I literally had a mental health moment and then a physical health moment 💀

- EVERYONE, and I literally mean EVERYONE knew about Thomas and you

- And by that I mean that everyone but you two knew how much you liked... no LOVED each other

- You know the whole 'What???? no we aren't dating 😳' while y'all HOLD HANDS AND STUFF SVUSBS

- Okay okay, moving on, you two literally are like the high school sweethearts

- People wish they had a 'friendship' like yours

- Bc it's just PERFECT

- Y'all rlly be out here, holding hands and picking flowers in a field

- Picnic dates hangouts every week

- Usually it's just you two running and frolicking in the daisy fields, until you run out of energy and collapse into the fields together

- Also you two sit on a picnic rug or something like that and eat sandwiches

- Omg y'all be out here eating the cute strawberry + cream sandwiches UGH 💜💜💜

- You know how much our (communism) boy loves poems, so he likes to write them with you

- He actually gets inspo from you for his love poems 😳😏

- If u like to write poems, HE LITERALLY IS SO HAPPY OMG 🎉

- Okay okay moving on

- So one day, you and Thomas were hanging out at your usual picnic spot when it starts raining 😭

- 'Oh, I suppose we shall move this inside then?'

- 'Yes, that sounds like a good idea-!'

- You grab his hand as he lifts you up from the spot (omg holding hands 😳)

- As he picks up the picnic blanket, a paper falls from it

- 'Oh? Something fell, I'll get it!'

- You pick it up and read it bc plot

- 'I adore her eyes more than the pen loves the paper, her smile more than the sea loves the coast. She is my everything.' (sorry if it's bad I don't do poems lmao)

- As you two are walking, you decide to bring it up to break the silence

- 'Thomas?'

- 'Yes, what is it?'

- 'Do you.... like someone?'

- Thomas pauses in his step

- He knows exactly what you mean, but chooses to play oblivious

- 'Why of course, I like a great many people, like you, my cousin, my-'

- 'Don't play dumb Thomas. Who is it?'

- Thomas doesn't answer and all that can be heard is the rain

- 'I'm simply curious, Thomas. It's not as if I will shoot you or anything if you tell me-!'

- You tried to joke around, to lighten the atmosphere, to no avail

- 'What made you think I have any sort of feelings like that to anyone?'

- 'Your poem, the one that dropped on the ground. I read it. You clearly like someone! You're confusing me.... who is it? Please tell me...!'

- You were getting a little concerned now. At first, you were jealous, but now...

- 'L-Let us discuss this later shall we? We should get inside before we're completely soaked-!'

- 'Thomas, we're already soaked. Can't you just tell me? We're friends, aren't we?'

- See, that's the problem, Thomas feared that you were friends. Just friends.

- 'Of.... of course! It's just...'

- You weren't going to force it out of him, but he usually told you all his crushes immediately after getting them so...

- 'Who is it?'

- He didn't answer. You decided not to push on it any further and kept walking, eventually passing him by

- 'Come on then, let's just go. If you don't want to be pressed on the subject any further.'

- Just as you got about a metre away, he shouted at you

- 'It's you!'

- At first, you didn't believe it.

- You turned back around to face him.

- Surely it was just the distance and the rain that distorted his voice?

- 'What..?'

- 'IT'S YOU!'

- You were having a hard time believing this.

- 'Of course it's you..... it always was, even when I wasn't aware of it...'

- Now it was your turn to have no response..

- 'Now, I understand if you don't wish to be friends anymore, let alone lovers.... I apologise for making you uncomfortable.'

- You've never really seen him like this. He was soaked, looking at the ground with a defeated look on his face.

- 'Thomas....'

- You walked towards him, and pulled him tightly into a hug.

- Sure, a kiss is more romantic, but it might be a bit awkward since it's your first kiss together

- A tight hug is all he needed tbh

- 'Of course I like you back.... I can't believe you thought otherwise.'

- As soon as he heard this, he hugged back

- Uh idk how to add on this tbh

- I hope this was sufficient if you need more I have no issue trying to add lol /gen

[fayfictions]

It was hard keeping their relationship secret when they were constantly recording together and felt the urge to call each other pet names all the time. They were planning on telling them eventually, but they didn't feel it was

They managed in recordings, but when they met up for PAX (the first time they had seen each other in person after a while) it was even harder.

They hadn't even gotten the chance for a proper kiss when they got there, since the boys all bombarded them the second they had gotten there. They stuck with a hug, maybe hugging a little longer than everyone else, and moved on. They were itching to get time by themselves, but every time they got any time it was interrupted almost instantly.

Matt was glancing longingly at his boyfriend, trying not to be frustrated at how they somehow kept getting separated between friends. Eric was sending pity glances back, just wanting to kiss him until his lips went numb.

Finally the boys had somewhat dispersed, and Matt finally could sit down next to Eric. Ash was still there however, waiting for Bre to get out of the shower. They were having casual conversation between the three of them, and Ash had accidentally interrupted Matt's sentence.

"What were you gonna say, Blarg?" Eric asked, nonchalantly wrapping an arm around his shoulder as he scrolled through his phone.

Matt glances over at Ash, who was doing the same, and he made a move. "We should kiss- I wasn't going to say anything." He pretended that he hadn't said anything, but couldn't help but to glance up at his boyfriend.

Eric stares at him for a couple of seconds before he began to grin. "I'd be down to fuck- okay, well, let me know if you remember what you were gonna say."

At this point Ash was looking up from his phone and at the two with a concerned look on his face.

Matt began to giggle at Eric's response, and he could see Ash shake his head out of the corner of his eye.

"What the fuck?" Ash said, followed soon after with a "huh". Eric and Matt were giggling together at this point.

"Nothin'- nothing sus going on here," Matt said.

"That was so casual between the two of you that it kind of scares me." Ash is laughing a little, thinking that it's just a weird bit.

Eric and Matt just kind of look at each other with a knowing look in their eyes, and Ash's laughter dies a little bit.

"Wait, are you two actually...?"

They look at Ash, who's looking between the two slightly confused. The look on their faces is enough for him to connect the dots and he gasps. "No fucking way are you two together. When the fuck did that happen?"

Eric shrugged, pulling Matt a little closer. "I dunno, a couple months-"

"You two have been together for a few months and you haven't told me? What the fuck! Have you told anyone else?"

Matt coughs awkwardly. "Uh, not really, no. You're uh. Actually the first."

"Really?" They both nod, and Ash kind of laughs with a grin. "Okay, that makes me feel better. I can't believe y'all kept it secret for so long though. That's impressive. When were you planning on telling everyone?"

Both of them shrugged.

Ash sighed. "You two are fucking messes, I swear. Y'all should do it this trip."

"You think so?" Eric asked.

"Yeah, just to get it done and over with. I mean, y'all have been hiding it for months as you've said. You should just do it now while all the homies are together, y'know?"

"He's got a point," Matt says, nodding along.

Ash scoffs. "Of course I have a point. My ideas are always good."

"Well now hold on," Matt starts to argue. "That's a fuckin' lie and a half and you know it."

"Okay Matt, name one bad idea I've had. I'll wait."

"I'll have to go through my footage, but-"

"Nope! You can't think of anything, therefore there's no bad ideas from me."

"I don't think that's how that works, Ash," Eric laughed.

"Nope, that's how it works. Fuck y'all."
