#i may be projecting a bit

house and wilson r both autistic and on complete opposite ends of the spectrum

(bear with me here i'm autistic myself and it's hard to articulate my thoughts)

wilson masks heavily. he knows he's different than everyone else and he tries so desperately not to be. he wants to be seen as a normal guy. he's the furthest thing from it but nobody needs to know that if he can help it. he knew he was different since he was a kid and it upset him. he worked so hard to create an image of himself that is palatable. he is very concious abt it. he clings to normalcy. his knuckles r white and his nails r digging into it. the only person he is ok with letting go of it for is house. house is is safe space. house is the one person he knows will not care if he acts a little different.

house, however, doesn't mask very much at all. if he wanted to, he probably could (although i also partially think he couldn't) but he doesn't. he just doesn't give a shit. he doesn't care abt what ppl think and he doesn't rlly care how he affects them either. he says what is on his mind. he is the way he is and he feels no shame for it. social rules r stupid and he doesn't respect them. he doesn't respect any rules.

wilson is primarily sensory avoident. he likes peace and calm. he especially doesn't like visual overstimulation. he likes things to be neat and pristine. when his space is organized, he can function. his environment influences the state of his head.

house is very sensory seeking. he thrives in chaos. he needs the outside world to be as fast and loud and hectic as his mind is. he needs noise and things to look at and something in his hand (his stupid red autism ball). he's never doing nothing when he's thinking. he likes soap operas and crappy reality tv partially because it's good background noise. it doesn't take up much brain power, but it's still a constant noise.

wilson has big body language. he is very expressive. i know this is rlly bc rsl is a stage actor and that's what they do but. let me have this. but that's just how he is. every symptom of autism exists on its own spectrum. some autistics have a very flat affect, very little body language, and very little expressions. some (wilson) have the exact opposite.

house doesn't outwardly show many of his emotions. he definitely feels them, they're very intense, but he doesn't display them. he isn't expressive, and it's not by choice. that's just naturally how he is.

this is more of a headcanon but whatever. wilson likes stim toys. he stims subtly (part of him trying to cling to normalcy. he needs to stim and he knows that but he won't do anything like hand flapping or rocking.), like with a fidget cube or one of those spinny rings. when he's alone, he'll sometimes let himself stim in bigger ways and it's a great release. he doesn't rlly need to stim as much as house does tho. also i think he'd love pressure and cuddling for stimulation. he'd like to be squished.

house is always stimming. this isn't a headcanon. this man is always doing something! pacing, playing with his ball, listening to music, he's always doing something for some sort of stimulation. he likes vestibular stimming and big full body stims best. he likes to move and do things. he likes to be busy. a fidget toy won't do much for him. he was a pretty active person before the infarction, and that was a great release for his emotions. but now he can't do the things he used to so he needs to constantly be moving. he doesn't get a big release so he's just constantly letting it out.

they're both very particular abt their ways of living, but they do not live the same way. wilson likes calm, house likes chaos. if this is disturbed, they get upset and distressed.

wilson has more shutdowns, house has more meltdowns. not to say they don't have both, tho.

also i feel the need to say this: house's special interest is humanity. he loves puzzles and humans are the greatest one of them all. everything he does is motivated by his need to know why people do what they do. oh and also monster trucks.

it’s been said by several people already, but there’s just something about royal x knight pairings that just

a knight showing their prince what roughness is in the most intimate and delicate way possible, a king helping their knight embrace softness and vulnerability, both reassuring the other that they’re safe with them, free to drop their mask and explore desires they wouldn’t have allowed themselves otherwise

Probably an unpopular opinion but I want to see slow burns that end badly. slow burns that burst into flame once they cross that precipice and leaves them both burned. That crumbles to pieces - friends to lovers to strangers - and then they have to put themselves back together with all of those stereotypical slow burn moments from beforehand turned more bitter than sweet

Can you talk about trans!Curly a little bit more? I'm curios if you have any headcanons and the like

-💀

It's just such a thing in my mind because it adds a truthful sadness and differing aspect to mouthwashing.

If Curly was trans it adds the horror of the horribly selfish thought he could have easily been in Anya's situation. It could've been him but it wasn't and he so conflicted on the pit it put in his stomach that brings and the shameful relief it wasn't. In this scenario he is friends with Jimmy for a long time still. Jimmy likely knew him pretransition. Maybe he gave Curly weird looks then, maybe they never stopped after, maybe they seemed meaner. They are guys now, bros, both of them are. He doesn't really have to worry what those looks mean anymore, Jimmy just has that face with him sometimes. It's recontextualizing a lot of things for him that he was in denial about or too ashamed to admit. How naive he was being and how he let that get another person hurt.

Specifically with Anya, it's he knows the dread and fear she's feeling. He can understand it because he had to live with it for a good portion of his life, he knows it cause he still does, just in a slightly different way. It makes him think of all the times he's been alone with Jimmy, all the times he's been way more drunk off his ass and not remember the night, Jimmy was always with him the next day. Makes him think of the comments he would laugh off both because that's what guys do but because that part of being a girl says to laugh so Jimmy doesn't do something. It's the selfish realization that he was never safe and he's uncertain now too. Mad at himself for forgeting that feeling, espcially since for a long time he would've been considered the only woman on a crew (with all that implies) for a long time.

He should've taken those blinders off, step back into that position for just a moment and it's so much more painful that Anya likely came to him because he should've gotten it. Those thoughts don't leave his mind after the crash when he's in an even more vulnerable position than she was...

More Mai and Katara friendship in Zutara fics please (there's probably lots I'm just lazy -wheeze-) (optional Ty Lee included)

I'm looking for Katara helping Mai open up and Mai showing Katara how to better aim with her ice and maybe teach her to use knives. Their friendship growing so much that when Zuko and Katara do get together that Mai actually tells Zuko not to fuck it up or she'll be on his ass about it.

Do you think Stan and Ford made sure to get the twins their own things as birthday gifts? Like they probably got a lot of the same things as birthday gifts as kids only in like a different color or something because they were twins so do you think they made sure that Dipper and Mable got their own separate things as gifts?

I imagine that Frost’s mental connection with people works kinda like a phone call (except you can actually hear the other person 100% of the time). So if the connection suddenly severs—like if Frost suddenly cuts the connection without warning, or something MAKES him cut off the connection mid-conversation—then the recipient gets a killer headache. I mean, Frost does too, but less so. So kinda like whenever you’re in the middle of a phone call with someone, and they suddenly hang up, except you take 1d4 psychic damage each time they do.

Also, on the subject of headaches, I imagine Frost is not only more prone to them, but also is especially prone to some killer migraines. Like, imagine the worst migraine you’ve had, and picture it 10x worse. Sometimes they can wipe him out for a week straight, if not longer (he once was indisposed for two and a half weeks after a particularly nasty fight). Those migraines he doesn’t get too terribly often, usually only if he’s 100% tapped out (no sorcerer points and spell slots), but he basically gets chronic migraines. The more he’s tapped out between long rests, the worse the migraine is. Frost has been basically dealing with a bad migraine the entire time they have been in the Feywild

Speaking of ruin’s tendency to land himself in situations where he’s kidnapped, or forced into isolation for periods of time

I wonder if that’s the go-to Ruin whump because it’s going to be the most effective weapon against him?

He’s already got ten years worth of trauma having to do with physical dismemberment and the mental pain of losing family and friends to a monster, so those are a no go.

However, he is very well established as an actor, one that constantly switches up his masks to suit his needs. Usually, those needs involve people-skills— having an audience to perform for. So, how do you get to an actor who’s already been through so much that usual methods won’t work? You take away their audience.

I picture Ruin as someone who uses their masks to cope, to avoid facing their pain, to pretend like they’re not hurting. Masks are carefully crafted to appease certain audiences— I’m sure you’ve heard of “people pleasing is a form of manipulation”— and Ruin puts himself around those people when he needs to, both to manipulate his audience and avoid being alone with his thoughts.

That’s not to say he’s incapable of being alone! He’s had a lot of alone time before and after his big plan. But, he had the choice to seek out companionship, an audience, when he wanted or needed to. That, and he kept himself busy almost the entire time, with one thing or another. Method-acting a madman, somehow building a whole spaceship thing, fixing arcade machines, trying to navigate his way into other people’s business, to name a few.

When he’s taken away from his audience, or he loses general access to his audience, he has no one to wear a mask for. He’s painfully aware he has a mask, it only feels natural when he’s performing but alone there’s no one to perform for. He’s left alone with his thoughts, forced to be with himself (you’ll notice he talks to himself often) and I’d like to assume that he hates that.

TLDR I think that Ruin’s been kidnapped/isolated several times because that’s the only thing that would hurt him in any capacity beyond actually killing him
