#i’m autistic about this idea

[my-fandom-hell]

Undertale AU idea:

It’s a multiverse-based one with Classic as the protagonist. He was dying in the genocide route fight when the game glitched and sent him to a place with all different survivors from different timelines and AUs, similar to the Omega Timeline, but more like civilization.

The twist? This is an RPG/Graphic Novel mix and you, as Classic, have to explore the area, meet new people, learn about the AUs, find secrets not even the gods know, and learn new magic abilities to help fight those who try to destroy the place.

The name: Newtale

i've decided i'm going to live for her instead!

Good! (Just be careful with the woman who hangs around with her👀)

it’s honestly so funny to me, thinking back about how I originally got interested in bg3 due to astarion,,,and then I ended up restarting halfway through his romance because I fell more in love with gale💀 and then I found out the fandom calls gale ANNOYING

So I finished half life Alyx but the gnome is too aware. My thoughts?

..

It was FUCKINH beautiful. Genuinely a work of art. I cannot believe it took me this long to watch it. It has the classic hlvrai humour mixed with that gorgeous existential dread. It’s really well written with a cool build up to the end. I loved the gnomes, I loved gordyx (that’s Gordon alyx to me) and it was so fucking funny. If any rtvs or even hlvrai fans haven’t seen it yet- PLEASE do so. It’s genuinely so good.

@wayneradiotv fantastic work. Truly. I know I’m going to end up watching it all over again soon. (And that ending- Ough-)

once told somebody that I don’t think I could ever live on my own because of my autism and they said “don’t say that! I bet you could do it!” like. no I’m telling you I am not the kind of autistic person that can live alone. I will forget to feed myself and drink water and my space would constantly be a disaster and I wouldn’t go around people hardly ever and I’d forget basic hygiene.

I’m so lucky to have a partner who helps me with self care like this through assistance and reminders because otherwise I’d be totally fucked.

Something interesting about ISAT has to do with the tarot deck… Most standard tarot decks have a design on the back that looks the same regardless if the card is pulled upright or reversed. Basically, its mirrored on the horizontal axis so that you can’t tell what position it was drawn in until you flip it over. When I was playing the other day, I noticed that when Siffrin drew the 10 of Swords in the reversed position, the narration said that he could tell it was reversed because of the backing being the other way around compared to the previous times he drew cards (in my playthrough so far I’ve drawn the 8 of Pentacles/Coins, 6 of Swords, 5 of Wands, and 8 of Swords prior to drawing the 10 of Swords and in that order. All previous cards were in the upright position, iirc). It’s an interesting design choice in the game, and not something I’d normally see irl (I’m not critical of this choice for clarification, its okay to have a deck without a symmetrical backing, it happens more than you’d think) :3

Alright I’ve seen enough takes on this and while I understand everyone’s viewpoint and validate it I want to give mine bc mine is probably a very niche perspective.

When it comes to the relationship between Gregory and Vanessa, I do view them as siblings. And no not in the umbrella way, not in the “this is the only thing that makes the most sense” sort of way, I mean they have sibling energy period. And I’ll tell you why.

Bc I do not view them as being immediate found family. At all. They have too much trauma both independently and with each other. I don’t even think they’d like each other very much at first. I feel like their initial relationship would be more of a ”you saved me so I’ll return the favor by helping you out” way.

Personally. I don’t think relationships with strong bonds should immediately go into something romantic or familial (maybe it’s cuz I’m raging aroace and very platonic/queerplatonic bc I know that’s an unpopular opinion) but in my eyes, you NEED TO BUILD A FRIENDSHIP FIRST. and I think that’s exactly what they’re gonna do.

They’re gonna slowly and gradually form a friendship, one that most people would think is strange and unusual bc it’s an adult and a child but let’s be fr neither of them are what you’d consider “typical” (yes I personally hc them both being ND. Again, this is my opinion). I also don’t think they don’t really give af what people think. So why would they bother putting a label that they don’t really agree with on them? No imo they won’t do that unless they truly do mean it.

Again, this could very well be projecting. But I am personally someone that doesn’t like being given a “sister” label unless it’s actually meant. Maybe it’s my extreme sibling complex. But I don’t think I’m wrong for feeling that way. And imo, I think overtime they would view each other in the way best friends view each other as siblings. I don’t even think there would even need to be anything legal. But if there was, she would be a legal guardian at best. Bc it still gives the freedom to identify how they choose. And to me, it’s very similar to Lilo and Nani from “Lilo and Stitch.”

Bc I think two things can be true at the same time. Vanessa can be a caregiver, and have some responsibilities when it comes to making sure Gregory is ok and kept safe. But also, she herself needs someone to take care of her. Bc she can’t. And while I do like the idea of Freddy taking care of them both, I also like them taking care of each other.

She definitely has aspects that could be seen as maternal, but I don’t view her as essentially parental. She simply isn’t ready. There’s too much trauma and a bit of emotional immaturity (again not a bad thing, she’s very childlike imo). I think she sees him more equal than that. Not someone that is helpless and needs to be watched 24/7. But someone that needs a little guidance every now and then. And that’s where I think looking up to her in an older sibling kinda way comes in.

She’s like a combined playmate and caregiver. An equal partner but also someone that takes on the worst of the burden so he doesn’t have to. Even though he will do so anyway bc he cares that much about her.

So yea, that’s my take on their relationship. Again, it’s just my opinion, and I understand people not agreeing and wanting something else for them. But this is how I choose to view them, and I don’t think that it’s wrong ❤️

starting to realize some strange things about how I experience “empathy” and my relationships towards other people. I was always told that I have high empathy, especially by family, doctors, teachers etc. it was a part of my initial diagnostic criteria for “Asperger’s syndrome” when I was around 8. maybe I degraded over time or something, but one thing I’ve noticed is that I don’t think that empathy was like. Real if that makes sense? I taught myself over time to predict how other people were going to behave and react, so I could display the correct responses. I have always been incredibly anxious about how other people view me, but always from the self absorbed point of view of “what if they think i am horrible, what if they think i am weird” etc. I’ve always been desperate for deep connections and genuine relationships with other people, but that feeling is usually triggered when I see people hanging out with their friends and loved ones and thinking “why can’t I do that?” I crave attention, I crave love, I crave for just. People to talk to. And then I legitimately attempt relationships with them and I realize that, wow, I don’t feel anything towards these people. I don’t understand them or the way they display their feelings at all. My closest relationships have always gotten that close due to me beginning to stop seeing the other person as an unpredictable wild animal and more like an extension of myself, and even still, when those around me display emotion, my feelings deep down are those of confusion and annoyance. I overcompensate, I take jokes literally, because I’m afraid I hurt them. If I hurt them, they’ll think I’m horrible. I can’t let people think I’m horrible. I don’t know why I care so much about what other people think of me when I don’t feel much towards them other than fear of being rejected by them and confusion at their behaviors and responses. I don’t know why I’ll remember and miss people, strangers included, for years on end either. everyone stays with me, but there’s just a barrier there. idk. I don’t think I have any empathy at all. I think I’ve fine tuned my behavior enough to manipulate the people around me into thinking I do.

I think tricked my peers into thinking rejection sensitivity dysphoria is empathy. fucking wild

sorry none of this is comprehensible idk how to express my feelings properly aughhh

anyone up thinking about widowers alliance ?? Hello , anyone ?? :(((((

Their relationship at the most base level is just their eachothers backups. Eachothers safety nets. No matter when or why they’re there with waiting arms to catch the other. They don’t have to look or ask, it’s guaranteed. Like the stars in the sky or a planet spinning round. It’s not fate or even just an alliance, it’s more than that. In good times bad times and everything in between it’s them. Scott and Cleo again and again and again

I love learning ASL it’s so good. Makes me happy to learn it. I’m so glad my university has classes for it with professors actually steeped in Deaf culture.

i need all future comics writers of frank (and anyone on DDBA) to stop trying to write him as a guy who had a normal childhood and was always just kinda Like That. or that he was simply destined to become the punisher, but that’s kind of a separate topic.

people who go into the military at 18 rarely have normal childhoods, they are often raised in abusive environments that are normalized. the urge to go into the military typically does not come from people who aren’t used to some form of abuse, because why would you willingly want to go into that? unless you are susceptible to indoctrination toward having faith in a system from a young age and aren’t able to discern the red flags? the military system preys on poor young men in particular by scouting them and offering all these bells and whistles (free college, healthcare, community) and feelings of importance, but then just forgets about them afterward.

side note: it’s actually such a disservice to many veterans to forget about how the military is an abusive system. it literally strips you of everything with no help in reintegrating back into society (other than by members of the same community). i get TPS1 tried to do something with this but dropped the ball. it feels like many writers just use his marine background as some sort of fun fact that only comes into play with certain things, but it very much shapes who you are and changes your identity. it’s a very cult-like system.

many people who want to serve are related to others who have prior. many people (especially men) who want to serve at that age have an underlying need that they think can be met. many people are brainwashed by military propaganda and believe it is the right thing to do. especially when it comes to religion, there’s this idea of men using their bodies to protect the innocent that goes back hundreds of years, and this idea of serving god, which we see young francis try to do in two ways. (side note: why do they keep removing his religious background? i liked the nod to it in the nmcu but it seems modern comics writers (looking at you jason aaron) just forget this?) besides, the functions of religion for people are very similar to the functions of the military as far as members go, namely community and a sense of greater purpose.

to me, as a reader/watcher, threads of probable abuse history are present in frank’s character, and i wish we had a writer brave enough to write about it. why else would he care so much about innocents and victims? why else would he become suicidal and guilt stricken when he hurts an innocent? it makes you think: was there no one who protected him or someone else he knew?

and this may not mean anything but idk i think he’s so much more tragic and juicy if you look at him like someone who is not the perfect victim (and maybe doesn’t even recognize their abuse) but someone who instead of healing and becoming soft, becomes angry and violent afterward. trauma, especially repeated trauma, does not effect people all the same way and i really wish they would just be bold enough to work with that. i get trying to piss off the alt right but completely changing the character to fit the same stereotype of a ‘psychopath’ (which is an outdated term) as they do in horror movies about killer children is just poor writing. again, talking about punisher 2022, but this was kinda in nmcu too. and sure yeah they’ve retired his character (but not the punisher….? ok) in the comics, but for when he inevitably does come back, yeah.
