Sooo may have fallen into new fixation womp womp, brain rot is rotting

Severance tv show, you should watch it fr

[scootersscooter]

Idk guys Mighty Med was just such a good show. The characters were incredibly well rounded and had a lot of personality. The show had incredible relationships between the characters, especially when it came to Kaz and Oliver's friendship (and dare I even say the budding romantic relationship between Oliver and Skylar). The world building was great and easily lent itself toward both serious and goofy situations. The plot had lots of twists and turns that never felt like too much. I feel that it's very overlooked, especially when competing with Lab Rats, but I think that Mighty Med does a lot better with less time while managing to have better characterization and character development than Lab Rats could ever dream of having. Go watch Mighty Med guys. Please <3.

Just got done watching the first episode of Fairly Odd Parents A New Wish! And I gotta say......now OG Odd Parents Fans please don't hate me....but I kinda like it so much better than the original! I mean the girl doesn't have outright abusive parents like Timmy did! And I love the human disguises Cosmo and Wanda have! I have to say guys the Animation is so fucking stunning!!

[ariconditioner]

the entire show clark struggles between being a human and being superman. in the beginning human is all he wants to be, in the middle he tries to juggle it, and near the end he’s accepted that he’s only alien. but this last episode we finally get to see clark realize he isn’t a weapon nor is he human or “normal”

he’s just fuckin superman bro!!! he’s him!!!!

also not to go on another acolyte rant but it's the only star wars media so far that has actually succeeded in making me not hate the jedi. because the acolyte isn't afraid to address their flaws. sol, indara, torbin, yord, jecki, vernestra, these are nuanced characters. they're not presented as these infalliable paragons of wisdom who are totally ✨better✨ than us lowly unenlightened morons who have normal human emotions. they make mistakes. with horrible consequences. and those mistakes are laid at their feet. the jedi order, and its ideology, is unambiguously presented as flawed. not evil, but flawed.

and that makes them so much more sympathetic! i can look at the jedi in the acolyte and see people. people who are for the most part doing their best, and it doesn't always work, and that makes it SO much easier to actually get emotionally invested in their stories.

like yes more of this depiction of the jedi please.

Do I love Lmk because while all of the characters are intelligent, they are intelligent in such specific ways that they are all smart in their speciality while lack knowledge in most areas of life? Yes.

Does it make the characters feel human when they make their mistakes, yet have moments of clarity in which they are undeniably so smart? Yes.

Will I continue to exploit the fact that most of the time they are silly when I write out comics? yes.

"now i believe there was a mention of treats"

"wynter, we're not pet sitting you"

"fine i'll do it myself then. (scratches behind her own ear) who's a good girl? oh, me! i'm a good girl"

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? THEY CANCELLED THIS SHOW? HOW THE HELL AM I MENT TO EVER RECOVER FROM THIS LIKE IM GENUINLY ASKING

[shoesterrs]

Adding to this sort of because I need to write this down SOMEWHERE. So. I am in the process of getting diagnosed with autism. My psychologist is pretty sure I have autism, but can't properly diagnose me, so I'm getting further help. I haven't told my family yet. I already am diagnosed with ADHD and other mental disorders.

I realized Harry was incredibly autistic coded. And that I related to him so so much. I told my family "haha I relate to him so much is that weird guys? Weird." And they just laugh. They say that's insane. They say no human would act like that. This. This is some bullshit.

My parents were the ones who recommended me this show and say HORRIBLE things about Harry. "He's an idiot! Ha!" "How he fits in with society at all doesn't make sense to me Haha!" "My friend (my godmother) thought his actor was just like that! No way could he just be like that!"

I relate to SO many things about him. At this point, it just feels like they're mocking me. It fucking sucks. Just the other day, my own father laughed his ass off because I made a face that looked like Harry's laughing face. A face that I make all the time. In fact, it's gotten worse, because I've been mimicking things from the show without even realizing! And my family thinks I'm "hilarious" and "childish but in a fun way!"

It all pisses me off. Obviously, its funny in some ways, Harry is a freaking alien desperately trying to blend in with humans in such a way that is mildly crazy. But good lord. There's so many moments that I go "oh. oh yeah. that's autism right there. that's me baby." I mean, normally shows with similar comedic humor give me a wild amount of second hand embarrassment, but this show? Uh uh. Nope. I jump up and down when he does something I relate to. Cause it makes me feel SEEN it makes me HAPPY to connect to someone, even if it's an alien. Hell, I feel like an alien! I don't feel like a human rarely ever! And then there's those moments I do. Those moments of what humanity truly is. Harry has those same moments. AUIHJF HARRY BE MY BEST FRIEND YOU BEAUTIFUL BEING

I geniunely cannot stand when allistics try to say Resident Alien is actually making fun of autistic people because they believe Harry is too childish now because I JUST-

In the beginning, Harry tried SO MUCH HARDER to fit in with the humans around him. He mimicked their speech patterns, consistently observed them, emersed himself in their activities so they wouldn't suspect he was different.

The Harry now? He doesn't care. He's loud in places he should be quiet. He talks how he wants. He laughs FREELY. He's learned large crowds of people? Not for him. He doesn't like being touched by strangers.

He's just Harry. Himself. Because he can be. Because he's realized even if some of the people of Patience find him strange, it doesn't matter. They'll never guess he's from outer space.

Have you noticed that every other alien we have seen is not like Harry? Not the greys, or the half human hybrids, not even Heather. When Heather is around humans who know she is an alien, we get to see the difference, but when she isn't? She fits in so well with any other neurotypical human.

Not Harry though. So yes, he is autistic because I said he is. Because I am autistic. And if you're allistic, you don't get to tell autistic people they shouldn't headcanon Harry as autistic (even though it is very obvious they're purposefully playing him as neurodivergent now.)

When you take an autistically coded character that a lot of autistic individuals relate to, and try to argue the character is actually a "child" and being "infantalised," you're actually being ableist.

You're saying that the traits we have resonated with are childish... Harry seems like he's "regressed" because instead of trying to adapt and pretend to be human, he is becoming something else entirely. Not human, but not fully alien either.

The body of doctor Harry Vanderspeigle was once just a disguise. Now it IS Harry's. It's his body, his own skin. And he's gotten comfortable in it and you know this because you deliberately witness times where he might be holding his hands like he would his claws (primarily when he's sleeping.) His brain doesn't realize he's not in his normal form, because in many ways, this is his new normal form.

He has emotions. He cares. He's in completely new territory and finding himself. And in doing so, that carefully crafted human mask? It's fallen a bit.

So that thing you label as "regression" is a thing I label as progress. He's learning still. Let him learn. Let him be. And give it time. And I hope to GOD Harry never becomes fully human to the point we can't recognize him. I hope he never loses his unique inflictions, or his love for pizza and pie. I hope he continues to love the quiet. I hope he ALWAYS laughs obnoxiously. I hope he always runs like he doesn't know what to do with his limbs. I hope you always see his emotions throughout his body because they simply cannot be contained. I hope he continues to jump when excited or pace when he's angry. I hope he stays obsessed with Law & Order forever.

Because if you take all that away, you're taking away the bits that make him Harry. You want a carbon copy human. I want the autistic alien struggling to understand human nature.

That being said, of course you can express your opinion him. And it can be discussed because everyone is going to have a different perspective.

But you don't get to dictate an autistic perspective if you are not autistic. Or try to cancel anyone for it either.

I love Harry. And I relate to him SO MUCH. And I love how much representation I can see him through him for me. Because I personally believe Alan and the writers have chosen to keep presenting this character as ND.

It's okay to dislike the direction of his character development. It's okay to find the flaws. It's okay to share that perspective. What's NOT okay is dictating the feelings of others because they might not agree with you.

I don't find him childish. I see him as an autistic individual trying to navigate a society that his brain hasn't been hardwired to understand.

And if you think he's too childish, please look closer at the why you think he is. Really be introspective on this one.

Because Harry is a parent. And has a child. And he has relationships. And he takes care of himself. Not only that, he is the town doctor and takes care of everyone else too. He is the smartest. He is the strongest. None of the characters have had to worry about the wellfare of Harry specifically. Its why no one realizes the greys have captured him. Because of course Harry would be fine, hes the alien expert. He knows what he's doing. So while everyone else spent so much time worrying about each other, no one was left to worry about Harry.

So ask yourself why you believe Harry has become "too childish" and if your answer comes down to any of his quirky traits or his misunderstandings of human nature, then you really need to consider if what you're actually uncomfortable with is autism/autistic traits.

Guys ive been reading peak

[pacipinka]

*taps mic* is this thing on? Yeah okay so every vampire in the vampire chronicles is turned at critical a moment in their lives and beyond just the body they are in when they are turned, their mentality stays at that standstill for their entire immortality, Lestat was turned against his will, he was clinging onto Magnus begging him to be freed, so he’s constantly seeking freedom and only finding loneliness and thus turning back to people again and again, however he can’t STAND being told what to do, since he desires agency in his life so desperately, Armand was turned after years and years of abuse and lack of control but such a desire for genuine love, by a man he ‘loved’ so wholly who he felt was barring his love from him, he needs control in his life, he needs a ‘master’ but he does not desire it, it does not fulfill him, he is trapped in a room but the door is unlocked! Louis was mourning his brother, he felt like an utter failure and so he’s always seeking family, seeking people he can care for, he can coddle, he can prove he is good too, but he loves people who either cannot stand coddeling and need a sense of looseness to live (Lestat) or people who grow out of coddling who prove to Louis he will always fail the people he loves (Claudia), Claudias turning, in many MANY ways mirrors lestats in that it was against her will, she was stolen from her home, and in her immortality she desires freedom but unlike Lestat does not have the agency/ form to get it, she will always be small, she will always be looked down on, even by Lestat who cannot deny how much she is just like him *taps mic* ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!! NONE OF THEM CAN BREAK THE CYCLE!!! TO BREAK IT WOULD BE TO UNDO THE VERY FIBER OF THEIR IMMORTAL SELVES!! THE CYCLE IS THE BLOOD THEY DRINK IT IS THE HEART IN THEIR CHEST AND IT ROLLS AND ROLLS DOWN THE MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS OF THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER AND IT CAN NEVER BE STOPPED BECAUSE THEY WILL NEVER STOP LOVING EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!
