Guys. Have y'all ever had onion soup? Because I need to talk about it.
Onion soup is epic. Onions themselves are epic. They taste good fried/caramelized and it's so good. It pairs well with ANYTHING. And sometimes raw onions also just pack that punch you need in certain dishes and it's so good.
And then you're telling me it was put in SOUP??
LIKE HAVE YOU SEEN THIS SHIT????
It's food heaven imo.
It's onions(one of the few foods that go good with everything and can be eaten at any time) in BROTH with all the other good stuff AND it's french(idk why I put that but french food has the impression of being fancy to me) AND it's paired with cheese and goes epic with baguette slices.
Onion soup is epic
I rest my case
#ok actually not yet i havent said enough so in the tags here we go#you can also dip just about anything in onion soup. not just bread. and itll be good#you can add all kinds of stuff in it to adjust to your own taste and its technically still onion soup if theres lost of onion in it#it can be adjusted to different textures in the same way#and you can add as much or as little other stuff#and i swear theres not been a single person ive met whos like “yeah i DONT like onion soup.”#(or maybe i just havent asked enough people)#but personally its a favourite of mine#i could have onion soup with mashed potatoes anytime#the most epic combo#my love for potatoes will have to wa8t another day for a rant#because its much much longer rant than onion soup and much much more passionate#(i really need to stop or else ill never manage to post this)

Dark Dweller
Depth dwellers unite, and swan dive in the Dark, Metal Masked Machines designed to always hit their mark.
obviously all of the cool energy tatoos carved onto the robots are so that they can be lights amidst an infinite expanse of darkness, duh. they were Made this way.
About the piece - I'm still feeling inspired by anglerfish and other deep sea creatures, I spent more time than usual adjusting the texture on this one to give the dark blue a sinking feeling, but it being this dark also means the turquoise can stand out more which I like. I didn't get the detail as intricate as I would like, but its cool that this feels like more of a full body piece than I usually do, theres a bit more posture here.
One aspect of my setting I want to get better at depicting is there being "Celestial, Skybound" robots, and "Terrestrial, Groudbound" robots - they are sisters, at once the same, and yet parallel. Sometimes I like to think of variants, like what would the Celestial variant of this Terrestrial one look like or vice-versa, and that leads to some of the more exciting designs to try.
The Celestial ones live in and explore space - their part of the Singular Empire probably looks like thousands of space stations. The Terrestrial ones live on the ground so they have more complex structures and cities, but the "ground" also has unexplored frontiers, locales and wildernesses that require specialised equipment.
I like the idea that the robots can be natural astronauts of sorts, they're robots so maybe they don't need to breathe, but maybe they might still need tools to travel and move around or interact with their environment. Recently in the limited spare time from work I've been thinking about what their tools and equipment could look like, given that setting lets me have all kinds of different explorers.
This ones "wings" are probably meant to be one such kind of equipment - maybe it's like a jetpack - the idea is in the setting that the machining (lol) and craftspersonship of tools have gotten so refined that the cyborgs can get equipment that looks "like themselves" from a competent enough smith, even if they have really ornate or unusual patterns or shapes. Maybe amusingly when theyre using something generic second hand it very obviously doesn't look "like themselves".
In the past I've drawn others with similar backpacks that have gatling guns or other equipment instead, like the wings are a storage platform or something (while still maintaining the silhouette of being wings). I've somehow lost confidence in giving them complex looking equipment in the years since then, and should find a way to get it back.

GENSHIN: # let me fasten the clasp...
“I got you a necklace… here, I’ll help you put it on.”
ft. kaveh, lyney, zhongli. x gn!reader with hair that can sometimes be in the way.
content. physical intimacy, fluff | scenarios. 0.6k.
“Do you like it?” Kaveh wanted to know. He was beaming almost as much as you.
You could only grin, nodding. The necklace was special. It was clear he’d picked it out intentionally.
“That seems like a yes,” he decided, correctly. “May I put it on you? I’m excited to see how it will look. If—if you don’t mind, that is.”
You nodded again, watching him carefully take the necklace from the box. He dangled it in front of your chest, gauging how it would look. Seeming satisfied by his selection of design, he brought it to your neck and leaned over your shoulder to clasp it.
Your mind went blank for a moment as his fingers traced your hair, pulling it out of the way so that the clasp could rest on the nape of your neck.
As he leaned back, he praised you—and himself—for the apparently dazzling view. “Extraordinary. It was the perfect selection.”
His eyes flashed into yours and you found yourself suddenly very fascinated with your own chest, focused on admiring how the charm sat with the texture of your clothes, and praying the heat in your cheeks would subside.
“Close your eyes, silly. Won’t you trust me for once?”
You finally obliged Lyney’s request, allowing your eyelids to drift mostly shut. You were still unsure about the suddenness of the occasion—Lyney had never caused you great distress with a surprise, but at the same time, it was better safe than sorry, right?
He huffed. “Come on, now. You’re peeking.”
“I am not!” You tightened your eyes shut.
“You certainly were.” This came as a whisper in your ear, sending a shiver up your spine. You wanted to see what he was up to. You squeezed your hands into fists, bracing yourself for the unknown.
“Well, that’s done!” he declared. “Voila, my friend. Have a look.”
You saw and heard nothing different around you. Nothing different about him. It was unclear to you what he had done, but you were feeling more suspicious.
“Ah, it’s crooked…” He sucked air through his teeth, touching a light, careful fingertip to your neck.
You realized then that he had put on you a necklace on your neck, the delicate chain of which he now adjusted so that the charm hung straight in the front.
He chuckled, eyes sparkling like the sea at noon. “So, you like it?”
“Darling, if you would turn around,” Zhongli requested, a smile on his lips.
You did as he asked, pushing your hair out of the way so that he could access the nape of your neck. It was only as he brought the necklace around you that you thought about how vulnerable the position made you feel.
You could just hear his soft breathing and the sound of the fabric in his sleeves as he moved his arms. Everything was still as he clasped the necklace with a small clink.
There was no way for you to ignore the way his hand brushed on the bare skin of your shoulder, and the way his fingertips traced your jaw to your chin as you turned to him to boast your new jewelry. His eyes respectfully positioned to yours rather than your chest.
“I do believe this necklace was crafted to rest on your neck alone,” he observed.
You rather agreed, since he had been the one to put it there.
author's note. i thought of this the other day when i was putting on a necklace i was recently given. i like to take my time when i put on jewelry because i usually get it from loved ones, and so i like to admire it and be grateful for that person lol. it makes me feel special. would be more special if zhongli were doing it up for me instead though (KIDDING)
consider reblogging if you enjoyed!

Updated: How I edit my sims 4 screenshots (night-time edition)
A more detailed editing tut so you can understand my process as it may help you, i edited this relatively quickly and usually spend about 1-2hrs editing something...so let's goo.....
Before taking screenshots:
Help yourself as much as you can in-game, I always make sure there is some sort of light source in my pictures or something interesting that I can add to enhance something already there
Understand good/bad composition and add variety by using different angles
I take LOTS of photos just to end up with 1 or 2 good ones
I'll just be using photoshop for this, but i also like to use the procreate app as i'm more confident w it.
step1: I check if there are any major glitches or hard areas e.g, fingers elbows etc.. that have sharp points and pull them in liquify so they are smooth. Then use curves to change the contrast.
step2: *duplicates image* using the dodge and burn tools (keyboard shortcut: o ) i'll add emphasis to highlights and shadows (be careful with these as the dodge tool can ruin the image if used in excess) *merges image* (i duplicate and merge as i go, utilise using lots of layers so you can go back if you mess up/ want to change the opacity of an effect.)
step3: making light sources POP. *new layer* change blending mode to overlay or soft light and choose a colour you like.
step4: *new layer* draw hair strands. i just use a basic round brush in photoshop and change the hardness or i'll use a sharp caligraphy type brush depending on my sims hair type. (i try not to overdo it as i like maxis hair and don't want it to look too realistic)
step5: i would then add a new layer and set the blending mode to multiply to add more shadows, but i don't feel like i need to at this point.
step6: *duplicates image* go to filter > camera raw filter, i change the "light" and "curve" panels, i like green tints in my screenshots especially the night ones. (this is where all the magic happens really so just adjust all the channels to your liking, lightroom is also really good to use)
step7: *create new layer* blending mode: screen or linear dodge (add) / makeup and finishing touches! - for this look i'll get stars and glitter pngs off google or unsplash same for the smoke, though if i'm using procreate they have free brushes for that :')
step8: add light leaks as they add some fun dynamic lighting and textures to your screenshots. (i also flip my image horizantally [image > image rotation > flip canvas horizontally] whilst editing as it's like a "fresh pair of eyes" when you've been editing for a while so you can see what looks off)
final step: merge all the layers (though i do merge along the way once i'm happy with something) go to filter > sharpen > smart sharpen. I leave it as the default setting.
extra step if u want: for party pics i might add chromic abberation here is a 60 second tutorial on youtube it makes the pic look cool and trippy.
And you're done!! congrats on surviving. if you have any questions please send them in my ask box so others can see and get help too.

Drip, drip. The sound of a faucet leaking in the background woke you up from your sleep. You blinked once, then twice. Your vision reminding you of a foggy window from how blurry it was as you tried to make sense of where you were. It was dark and freezing. Extremely freezing.
Something clasped around your wrists made you unable to use your hands. Making you twist around to attempt to free them, a sharp gasp escaping out of your throat when realizing the rush of cold air hitting against your bare skin. You were naked. Why were you naked?
Goosebumps rose across your legs and arms, the hairs on your body standing straight up while you looked around, hoping your eyes will adjust eventually.
But it seemed like the situation you were in wasn’t going anywhere and that was proven by the deep, familiar voice that mused inches away from you, “You finally alive, sweetheart?” That was Toji Fushiguro’s voice. The terror on your face worsened as you lingered your gaze over where you guessed the infamous man was standing. Having memorized that tone from that last time you encountered him.
The exchange wasn’t serious and you weren’t directly involved. But, that doesn’t mean you didn’t know what he was capable of at the moment. And when you were in the middle of eavesdropping on him discussing plans with one of your clan members, his green eyes hovered over to yours, burrowing them into yours with a glare so intense; it made you step away. You had been peeping through the crack of the door when that happened. Knowing that he spotted you then didn’t help your fear of him. And it really wasn’t helping you now.
You twisted around, tugging at the cuffs while your breathing slowly progressed into a panic. Your legs kicked out for anything nearby, desperate pleas spouting from you in response, “No, no, no, please. Please, whoever put a hit on me, I’ll pay twice the amount of what they gave you! I promise!”
Not having the ability to see what he was doing was the worst thing about this. The anxiety of the unknown clawing your nerves to pieces. Making you break out in a nervous sweat and shake from the legs up.
His huge hand brushed along the side of your face, the texture so rough that it felt like sandpaper as he tucked the small scattered strands of hair behind your ear. Your breath paused from the affectionate gesture while he repeated moving his thumb back and forth on your cheek; replying in a soft way that scared you, “Oh no, I’m not going to do that to you. Who told you that, little dove?”
Why did this reassure you? Your frozen lungs went back to normal the more he continued to do that touch, the shakiness never fading. Then the warmth left, the sound of a light being pulled on heard before the entire room was illuminated in a bright, blue light. Showing the giant man towering above you clear as day.
It was him. You were right. Toji was giving you that same look from your first meeting, but this one seemed to dig into the depths of your soul. Scaring you to where you were tucking in on yourself and lifting your legs up to your chest.
His mouth curved up into a little smirk, an eyebrow raising while he glanced down like he was amused at the embarrassment. “If you’re really curious about why you’re here, I can give you an answer,” he taunted.
Kneeling down to your eye level, the middle-aged man wrapped a hand around one of your legs in an iron grip, effortlessly holding it up until it rested onto his shoulder. His next barrage of sentences as blunt as knives, “I thought you were the perfect woman to be considered as my son’s future wife. You see, I don’t have many years left to my name and neither would he. Us Fushiguro’s have to work hard on keeping the family bloodline intact. And to do this…”
He used his other hand to tug down the waistband of his off-white joggers, letting them rest around his knees with his boxers showing the huge imprint of his dick, little to no coverage on how hard he was. With no hesitation, he moved his hand from holding your thigh to grabbing your head, pulling you forward until your face was smashed right against his bulge.
Toji dry-humped his clothed cock on your cheek and lips while he continued what he was saying, “We need cute little girls like you to endlessly give our kids to.” You didn’t mean to, but you whimpered. Muffled and interrupted by his constant grinding.
This was wrong, yet you were getting soaked. You were terrified of him, but you would be lying if you said you didn’t want him to fuck you. He was above average when it came to looks and the fact he was so big was enough for you to want to give it up. It did not help that you have eyeballed his son every once in a while at school. And he was mentioning you being Megumi’s wife too? It was all too much.
After he got turned on completely from grinding himself on you, he reached down to peel off the last layer of clothing that was holding the bridge of contact. Letting you see everything as it twitched and hovered over your head, managing to be bigger than it.
He murmured the finishing touches once you gave the base of his dick a soft peck, “So, I need you to convince me. Show me you have what it takes to be a good little whore for my boy.” Him calling you that ignited something within you and you went from giving him fluttering kisses around his shaft to taking his tip in your mouth. Having to open your mouth as wide as you can.
Toji’s cock was way too big for you to try and casually give a blowjob to. Although, he still made you do it. Groaning in that raspy voice that caused your legs to squeeze together. Lightly fucking into your throat after progressively shoving more of himself in without letting you get a decision about it. Both of his hands held either sides of your head, covering the entirety of it except for the lower parts of your jaw and the areas where his fingers didn’t touch.
Eventually, oxygen was no longer being allowed into your body from how filled your throat was. You were struggling to stay awake, choking constantly on him to the point where you thought you were going to puke because he wasn’t letting up. But, he decided to keep up this torture until the very last second; pulling out to watch you sputter out coughs.
Jerking off with your spit, he leaned down to hoist you over his shoulder, lifting you up to place you against the wall before he palmed your ass and spread it.
Both of your hands pushed on his chest to try to get him away, hitting him hard as you gasped out in worry when his tip touched your other end, “Toji! Toji, no! Not there! Please, no!” Your wide, glossy eyes stared up at his green ones, vacant of anything but that sinister curiosity. You knew then that it would be pointless to deny it. He wasn’t going to listen.
Your jaw went slack as you screamed, feeling like you were being ripped in half as the man forced his cock inside of your tight hole. Stretching you to fit his size which was almost near impossible. You were so petite compared to him, unable to handle this, but somehow processing it. And this showed to be true from a bulge that took shape around your stomach the more he buried it in.
Going numb because of how extreme the pain was, you laid back on the brick and could only groan, squeaking when he reared back; letting every inch leave before ramming it inside of you again. Your legs tried to close, he kept them open with his hips, pressing them hard onto you by moving faster.
You turned your body left and right unconsciously because of the amount of stress he was putting it through. The dick print constantly rubbing right onto your belly, poking up so you could see how deep he was in your guts.
He grunted in approval when looking down, explaining further with aggressive noises slipping past, “Y’see… I thought what better way than finding the right one by testing her out myself..”
His thrusts increased, yelps interrupting out of you at the hard, heavy impacts of his cock. Your walls constricting and convulsing around him to ease it better. But, nothing was holding back from him absolutely wrecking your image.
Your hair was everywhere, drool coming down the side of your chin, and your back arched to where you looked like a lifeless doll. The cloudy look in your eyes signifying the loss of brain function from how much he was fucking you out. You could barely think anymore. Pleasure dancing with the pain Toji inflicted. It was the one thing you could focus on. The one thing you had to focus on or else you would’ve went deeper down the bend of insanity.
The black-haired man eventually stopped making the wall support you. He just grabbed your waist with one hand and pumped you down onto him, his thumb over the bulge to press down when it tried to come out. The shakiness in your legs spread to every nerve in your body, causing you to vibrate in his hold while he used you like a fleshlight. Your tongue panted out of you as you whimpered to him, accepting the role of what you thought he wanted you to play, “I’m yours, I’m yours, Toji, Toji…! I’m yours..!”
But that wasn’t what he wanted to hear. Sure, he thought it was cute of you to incessantly cry out, but he wasn’t keeping you to himself. That wasn’t right.
So, the man pulled you off of him, letting you return to being empty and abandoned on the cold floor as he sighed, “You’re not getting it, little dove. So, let me help you understand what I’m doing this for, okay?“ Cracking his neck and stretching like he was just doing a workout, he swiftly turned around to head towards the one of the doors in the corner of the basement-like room. Opening it to call for somebody that made you snap out of the dazed state you were in, “MEGUMI!”
No, no, he can’t see you like this. The thought of him coming across your bruised body, naked with his father made you try to run for the door, frantically begging, “NO! Shut it! Don’t let him in! I don’t want him to know!” Guilt was causing tears to brim and pour over, your legs too weak to lift you up for long so you ended up falling back to the ground.
Toji chuckled and shook his head at you, nonchalantly responding like you were being dramatic despite the fact he was bare himself, “Rest, sweetheart. Megumi is not going to think less of you. I’m sure he’s going to want to take in this pretty sight.” Take in the sight of one of his close friends after being ruthlessly fucked by his dad? You didn’t think so.
The sound of footsteps echoing down some stairs made you purse your lips together and hold your tongue, looking straight ahead at the dark entrance for any sign of him. You could feel a part of you grieve, but for some reason, another part was excited. What would he think? That thought was going to be answered sooner than you wanted it to be when the younger man stepped into the room, his dark blue eyes locked onto you the moment Toji closed the door.
You didn’t want to see his reaction so you turned away, curling up into a ball and hiding from him with your arms. Your chest was rising and falling faster than ever, an anxiety attack ripping through you all because he was here.
He wasn’t reacting badly, however. Actually, Megumi knew about it. And you found out when he told you directly from across the room, “Don’t hide. It’s okay to let me see you, {Y/N}… I know.” His voice was super soothing, calming not just your breathing, but the shaking a bit too as you peeped up through your hair. It was still hard for you to lift yourself. Although, you tried for him once you saw his arms open wide.
Taking you into a hug, he dragged you onto his lap and let you sit there so he could rock you back and forth. He shushed you into relaxing and kissing your forehead softly before mumbling against it, “You did so well… I can’t believe you got through all of that…”
It worked. Finally, you were having a break. Your brain in such a mushy state that you melted into him, humming in response. Everything was so calm now. You could breathe perfectly fine.
Until you were starting to feel Megumi’s hands drift down your sides and up to your breasts, gripping one of them gently with one hand while pushing the other down to your pussy. His sabotage was much swifter than Toji’s and way more convincing. Two of his fingers slipping inside of your wet cunt, filling you like you’ve been waiting for, and curling up to rub right on your g-spot effortlessly.
You nudged yourself into the crook of his neck, his hoodie providing a pillow effect, and letting you muffle your moans into him. Right next to his ears that turned red along with his face. He observed you getting off on his fingers, rocking them faster and faster inside as you felt his erection rising underneath you.
Toji was watching this unfold too, savoring the sounds you were making and taking pride in how skilled his son was. He took that time to jerk off to it, groaning in the background, making your orgasm come faster than it needed to when you saw him doing it.
Your juices squirted all over Megumi’s digits and pants, an overjoyed small laugh coming out of him, “Wow! I did not know you could do that! That makes this so much more better..” He lifted his soaked hand to get a taste of you, sucking on the two that were inside, and popping them out of his mouth to coo, “Now I don’t need any lube, right beautiful?”
A wide smile that seemed to be a trait with Fushiguro’s plastered across his face before he lifted you up, just like his dad had done not too long ago. Toji using that as the initiative for him to help hold you in place.
The older man pressed his chest on your back while wrapping both of his large arms around yours, taking over for Megumi so he could get his pants undone and undress himself. You panicked at Toji’s presence and the fact you were too sensitive right now to be taking anything else, pleading to the black-haired boy instead to hopefully get to some kind of mercy, “Gumi! Gumi, please! I can’t take anymore! I don’t think I’ll be able to…!”
You thought maybe he would be nicer than him. That Megumi would listen and understand you couldn’t. But, his deep lakes of blue for eyes showed a side of him you never got to truly see until now. And it was then that you understood why Toji was doing this. They had the same hunger for sex, the same mad-ridden lust that would incapacitate anybody that wasn’t like them. The way he stared at you told you enough.
His dad wasn’t here out of his free will. He was here to help Megumi make you learn it. And that was through constant training. Training using their cocks as the equipment.
The ravenette boy angled his tip to align with your pussy as you tried to struggle in Toji’s grip, not moving even a centimeter. Stuck having to envelop and take in his son’s huge cock, losing your virginity to the Fushiguro. You whined, “Oh mmmgod! Megumi!” The rest of your tears falling from your eyelashes as both of your holes were equally as stretched now.
Toji followed in suit and entered you from behind, lube decorating the top half of his dick to make sure that your body wouldn’t refuse. Both of the men feeling themselves thrusting inside of you from your walls being so thin in each entrance. Your sobs and whimpers non-stop, words coming out of you that didn’t make sense while they went their separate paces. The pair didn’t say much other than let out groans and growls of pleasure.
Megumi was quick but gentle, Toji was still the same in roughness but he added these periods of calm to it, ensuring that you were going to stay awake for every second of their cocks ravaging your holes.
Your half-lidded eyes stared off multiple times, directed to look back into the boy’s in front of you whenever you did. You glanced down and saw how much their dicks were going in and out of you from the bulges, his slender hand grabbing your chin to force your head to stay up so he could keep you grounded.
With a hoarse voice, you begged, “Cum… Cum… please… cum!” That corrupted, fucked expression took over you. Your eyes rolling to the back of your head and your tongue hanging out of your mouth for the second time. You did what you could and wrapped your legs around his waist to get him deeper. Accepting the mindset of being a Fushiguro’s whore.
You enjoyed another hour of being tag-teamed before Megumi had reached his end, having been flipped into multiple positions already until they landed on one where you were laying your back on Toji and spreading your legs. Most of what you heard throughout it was heavy, frustrated breathing from the men and the slapping of both of their v-lines colliding with your skin.
The young man groaned in satisfaction, mere seconds away from letting go inside of you. “Fuck, I’m going to…! {Y/N}..! {Y/N}!” He shouted, both of his hands digging their nails into your thighs while he humped his cum out. Your stomach starting to feel the fullness after he let the last of it go, thrusting continuously with Toji.
His father praised him, “That’s my boy! Take what’s yours.. let her know who’s going to be the one giving her those babies she’s been needing!” Going at a faster speed to encourage Megumi, he grabbed your hair into a ponytail so your face wasn’t covered.
Listening to him, he kept thrusting even though it was torturing him too. His teeth digging into his bottom lip as blood was drawn from it and where he dug his nails into you. He couldn’t help it, this was too good.
Eventually, Toji was cumming inside of you as well. He violently rammed every drop, not even caring that it was so harsh it knocked you in and out of consciousness. Your body falling onto Megumi’s as you wailed, “GUMI! GUMI! I CAN’T!” His arms wrapped tightly around you, pulling you into a kiss and muting your screams.
You felt the soft lashes of his against yours, his lips tasting like metal because of his bloodied bottom one, and all of a sudden, you succumbed to the pain. Moaning as the oldest rode out the rest of his orgasm using you. The dark blue-eyed boy unwinded not long after, giving you a break with his soft thrusts into your pussy, and helping you heal from his dad’s reckless behavior.
Shallow breaths escaped your tired body as cum littered both of your holes, most of Megumi’s shoved further inside of you until it could no longer leave. His last pumps weren’t comprehensive because you ended up falling asleep on him, missing the confession you would have to hear the next time you awoke, “I think I love you, {Y/N}…”

Hi k! If you feel like it, do you have any favourite Oscar facial quirks?
omgggg anon this is only my favorite topic ever!!! (kidding but also not really 🧡)
i'm a lot like oscar tbh in that i have something of a deadpan stare and usually speak in a monotone but when i DO properly react to something i am veryyy uncontrollably expressive lolol, which i feel like is the same with him and the one million things constantly going on in his face!!! 😭 he definitely has a lot of little quirks / "tics" i guess for lack of better word that i adore so much...
^ first off one of the best ones is the way he always moves his mouth to the side (see also), but i'd say my favorite overall is just his full nose + face scrunch ! as shown in MMMM DEBATABLE and the blind rankings one that i drew earlier t__t and also the 1st gif of this gifset!!! i'm guilty of constantly bunnycoding ojp and that expression is trewwlyyy on top... as well as another quirk that's quite bunnycoded which is whenever he sort of awkwardly grimaces and shows off his teeth idk if you know what i'm talking about 😭
of course another fav has to be his eyebrow raising and just overall eyebrow Mobility, it's so fun because they're very straight and slope downward when his face is resting but they ARCH perfectly when he raises them and he can also do the like 🤨 seth everman look which is iconic 2 me. tbh i like how much he enjoys Squinting at things in general LOL
i've also spoken about how the buzzfeed uk video has such a wealth of oscar facial expressions and imo part of this is the informal and relaxed setting on top of the fact that he was being forced to overthink and react to an inherently silly concept so we get the ultimate combo of CASUALLY EXPRESSIVE OSCAR!!! prema challenges have a similar vibe but imo this is still different because it's fairly removed from a motorsport setting so he's kind of just vibing... another v endearing quirk from this video is his eye twitching / blinking that you can see in a LOT of oscar content, i feel like it's a once you notice you never stop noticing it thing because he does it all the time and i find it really cute because it kind of makes him squinch his cheek too... miss cutieful....... SIMILARLY but also from the buzzfeed video this is one of my favorite examples of how much he (involuntarily imo) WIDENS his eyes (2) when talking or listening to something, here's another moment of him doing it back in f4 so you can see it's a long-ingrained habit.
sorry i'm literally giving you the most random ass deep cuts alkdfshaldsfh but i also remember watching ted's race notebook from miami and noticing oscar talking to a few mclaren employees during the team photo and something i find so endearing about him is when people call his name / try to get his attention and he does the >whips head around and widens his eyes with a polite little smile< thing like AGHHH... qt TT___TT ok i'm going off-topic now but the surprised smile he gave lando during the miami post-race debrief will haunt my memories forever because it was so Open !!!
anyway re: the grimacing he also kind of has a neck tic he does where he stretches his neck out... and i've noticed that he's also just kind of sensitive/particular with his neck in general and is always adjusting his collar where it sits on his skin, which again is off-topic but i find really cute because i can relate (sensitive to textures) hsdafhk.
let me stop talking but last but not least i'm obsessedddd with the way he pouts in the post-quali vid from canada this yr <3 and also his tendency to lick/bite his lips which always does great legwork in terms of the heart eyes piastri narrative and his apparent thirst for lando HKLFDSHLH which while i endorse wholeheartedly is definitely mostly just an unconscious habit of his... but i think rpf is fun so who cares!!! LOL i hope this makes sense idk if i described anything properly 😭🧡

I LOVE this set and i was wondering if you could pls explain how you did the text, including how you added texture to the ripped text and the highlighting/circling/etc of words? thank you for posting your beautiful gifs 😊
thank you!! 🥺 & of course! (photopea tutorial)
the majority of the texture for the ripped paper effect i can't really take credit for it's on the paper it's self all i did was make the paper white (because the texture was yellow) and used curves to darken the texture), i got the texture from one of photopea's templates but it seems their whole template section has changed drastically and no longer has like anything i used to see before ???? so i'll just share both versions here:
(original & my edited version)
for the ripped parts i just played around with this brush set in the plugins
once i decided which of the paper brushes to use i had a new layer and used it where i wanted, so top left in the gif above, i clip masked the paper texture (and the adjustment layers as well) onto it so you get that ripped effect (if you don't like or want to add to that you can always use the brush tool again (or the erasure tool) set as the paper brush to add or remove sections i did this a lot when i realised certain words i wanted to show weren't on there (also changing the size of the paper brush when wanting to add a little bit or take a little bit away was a massive help)
i also always add a drop shadow to my paper textures, the settings i used is mostly the same EXCEPT for the angle for all of the ripped paper (it's also my text drop shadow settings) because depending on how the ripped paper looks you might have to change the angle
also i know in the screenshot below it's on but make sure the use global angle is off if you're going to have multiple different angles of drop shadow in your one gif (so if you want your paper texture on 125° but anything else on 60° the global angle needs to be off but if you want them the same then you can keep that on, which is why it's on for me because the angle is the same for both the text & the ripped paper) (and by text this isn't the text on the ripped paper, there isn't any drop shadow on the text itself there, just to clarify this was for my "ripped paper text tutorial by dengswei" text)
as you can see i also clipped my "handwriting" text to the paper layer this is so it stayed on the paper rather then going onto the gif itself (and it saved the fiddly part of masking it away & it felt more authentic this way too)
i found for me it was easier to seperate the text line by line so i knew exactly which part of the text was on which and if i wanted to change anything either it being a typo, changing the paper texture, or wanting a different word on a different line it was easier that way because it didn't end up messing up all of the text (though you don't have to do it that way, it's just what worked for me here)
font i used was: vag-handwritten (a default photopea font)
all of the next part needs to be above the text on your ripped paper:
for the highlighting, circles, and the lines it's pretty much all the same, i chose the colour which matched the gif (so say purple), for the highlight used the rectangle select & colour fill tools and set that to multiply & then played around with opacity (for most of my highlighting it's set to 50%), for the circles it was the same except the circle shape tool (no fill just stroke) set to purple, set to multiply, with 100% opacity (i found the circles looked better with 100% on some gifs depending on what colour i used), & then duplicated it once or twice and then just moved each circle to where i thought it looked best & the double lines is also the same using the line tool, set to multiply, & playing around with the opacity, & positioning them where i like
for the squiggly lines, the hearts, the 3 small doodle lines at either side of a word, & any other doodles i had on there i doodled them myself with my drawing tablet (you probably don't have to use a drawing tablet i just found it easier that way) using the free pen tool and then did the same thing set it to multiply and played with the opacity
if the colour you choose looks too dark or too light with it set to multiply either try a lighter/darker colour, try out something else like lighten, or screen, or increase/decrease the opacity more (i found i had this issue with the yellow being hard to see on the white paper so i used a darker yellow and kept everything at 100% opacity rather than 50%)
hope that helps! and please if anything is confusing or you want to ask any more don't hesitate to ask i know i ramble on a bit and it can sometimes get a bit confusing 🤣 or if there was anything i missed feel free to ask again 🥰
#replies#edwinas#mine | tutorials#gifmakerresource#photopeablr#photopea tutorial#photopea tutorials#gif tutorial#gif tutorials#usergif#tutorial#tutorials#photopea has so many great default fonts i just spend hours searching through them i barely download fonts now 🤣#i hope i didn't miss anything#also i don't know why the paper textures & my screenshots posted this way i had them side by side#okay they're side by side on mobile but not desktop ??? but mobile doesn't have the read more okay

Buttered Noodles
Pairing: James Potter x reader
Summary: James is understanding of your food sensitivities
Warning: food sensitivity/sensory issue
*I personally dislike my food touching and creamy textures. Plus this is short and horribly written but what can be done.
- jermaine (シ_ _)シ
“That bush looks like a head of broccoli”
You don't say it because the bush necessarily looks like broccoli. It's simply the urge to talk nipping at you. The need to Distract yourself. Foods all that's on your mind at the moment. The bushes lining the street are the only things in your field of vision where its fixed out the car window.
Besides, what other food could a bush possible resemble but one of many tasteless greens.
James doesn't respond with anything other than a concerned glance. Usually on drives you'd be lounged out in the passenger seat, playlist cued up, serenading him with raspy heavy metal. But there you sit, stiff as a plank. Quiet except for the occasional mumble. Hands knotted in your lap placing wrinkles into your pretty clothes. Mouth pinned into a thin wobbling line.
You'd met his friends before. They were kind so that wasn't the source of your stress. The trouble arose around the fact that it had been in a pub setting, where the only requirement was drinking and nodding along.
But this would be different. This was big.
A birthday dinner. Where you'd have to sit up straight at a dining table and contribute to conversation, answer and ask questions, smile. All while eating your meal in the same timely manner as everybody else. Not too slow and not too quickly. Not itty bitty spoonful's and not gaping mouthfuls. You'd have to pause between bites, swallow, have a sip of your drink and repeat. Not staring at your plate, make eye contact occasionally.
You've always been very sensitive with food. You grew up in a clean plate household. Only by the grace of the universe were you able to find someone as understanding about it as James. Exactly why you don't want to embarrass him in front of his friends with your pickiness.
You would try your best to stomach whatever was placed before you but boy would it be hard. When certain textures or smells or mixtures made your mouth watery and your palms sweaty.
Food touching. Utensils scraping. The mushy sound of chewing and the wet gulp of a swallow.
However, You'd grind your teeth and bare with the horrors if it meant making a good impression.
“I made sure to tell Moonie you have trouble with certain foods.” James is talking lowly as if afraid to startle you.
“Huh?”
“Oh, I told Remus some of the things you don't fair well with-
Your eyes grow to twice the size in alarm "You shouldn't have put him out that way Jamie!"
The slight wobble of his head is done in apology. All you'd get, because he wasn't actually sorry. The movement sends his glasses slipping down his nose. You reach out on instinct to adjust them for him. "Its no stress mouse, he was happy to make sure you'd be accommodated"
And how would that appear. Everyone enjoying a full homemade roast dinner while James’ girlfriend poked and prodded at some frozen chicken strips and potato wedges?
"I can eat whatever he prepares" Could and Would.
"You can. But you don't have to. Remember that." The grounding weight of his hand finds its place on your thigh and your shoulders immediately slump with a release of tension. "Take a breath for me love"
You've squeezed your fingers so tightly your nails have dug bloody crescents into your palms. They burn. Your face warms in a rapid flush. Maybe it wasn't too late to throw yourself from the car.
"Yeah"
"If you start to feel icky we can always find you a safe food alright? It puts nobody out to make sure you’re well fed"
Icky. James' word for what was, in your head, unreasonable upset and stubbornness. There was a time when more cruel terms were hurled at you. When you sat in the kitchen until the morning doves began to coo. A plate of pasta long cold on the table. You liked pasta. Would have eaten the pasta if only the sauce hadn't been pre added for you. White and thick and slimy. Buttered noodles by themselves were delicious. But you weren't allowed to get yourself a fresh plate until you ate the one already given to you. Even if that meant going to school the next day on an empty stomach and not a wink of sleep.
"Yes mum" You have to bite your cheek to keep from smiling at how thoughtful you actually found his actions, feigning upset by purposefully avoiding his gaze. He sees through this of course.
"There she is"
And you know by the crinkle at the corners of his eyes when he grins at you that James would gladly join in with any alternative option if it would make you feel more comfortable. Confident. All you had to do was ask and he'd do anything for you.

omg hii! im so glad you're back you're like, my favorite blog ever🙏! i saw you cleared your inbox so i hope it's okay if i send the same request again? I wondered if you could do hcs Neji x ninja reader who is blind! Perhaps lost their vision during the war and now they have to learn how to deal with it? gender neutral or fem reader is up to you! Please forgive my english, it's not my first language:)
I hope you have a wonderful day/night!
author's note: hi! <3 thank you so much for your sweet message and this request! I love writing for Neji, so I was very excited about this one! Also, your English is perfect (it is not my first language either, so please do not worry about it!). I feel like I am a bit rusty when it comes to writing, but I really hope you enjoy! <3
To be honest, from all of the Naruto men, Neji would accept and deal with a blind s/o the easiest.
He is very devoted and loving partner, and I have always seen him as someone who supports his lover through both good and bad.
When his s/o lost their sight during the war it was shocking and unexpected turn of events to say the least - they threw themselves in front of a group of young ninjas with the intention to protect them from an explosion, but could not shield their own eyes fast enough, resulting in flash blindness.
At first everyone expected it to be temporary - even Sakura assured both Neji and his partner that the chance of his s/o losing their sight is very low and they just needed some time to rest and recover.
As someone who had temporary lost his own vision before due to overuse of his Byakugan, the Hyuga man knew how hard is to adjust to a new way of life using only their other senses, even if it was for a few days. He would try to act the same as before, but he would be visibly more overprotective and gentle with s/o, despite his attempts to be subtle.
Neji has never been a big PDA fan, but during this time he would always have his hand on his partner - either on their shoulder or lower back, he would guide them around their house or in public, making them feel more secure in themselves. He would hold their hand more often, gently squeezing it if he feels they start getting nervous or insecure.
The first few weeks after learning his s/o's loss of sight is permanent would be the hardest - crying and anger outbursts would be a frequent occurrence, making it a tough period for both of them.
Neji does have a bit of a "short fuse" and is not one to accept disrespect, even from his partner. However, seeing their soulmate struggling with the overwhelming nature of their new reality, he would calmly take all their insults and anger, reminding himself that it is all part of their healing process.
Knowing their stubborn and strong personality, Neji would definitely encourage his partner to trust themselves more, and explore and learn on their own. He would still keep an eye on their surroundings and remove obstacles out of their way, but he would do it in such a discreet way, his s/o often would not even realise he is around.
I think that Neji would also be one of the few Naruto men that would agree to train with his blind partner. Of course, it would be frustrating for his s/o at first because he would be holding back quite a lot and would rely solely on defensive moves during their sparring sessions. However, seeing his partner's strength and resilience, he would start experimenting with different training approaches, challenging their reflexes and sensory awareness.
He is the type of lover that would spend significant amount of time teaching his s/o to rely on their other senses - he would bring them items with different textures, encouraging them to explore and learn the differences; he would take them to places where they can listen to the wind and the different sounds around them; he would cook them homemade meals, asking them to distinguish the dishes just by smell.
Fiercely overprotective!!
If any of their friends or family say something about their blindness or doubt their ability as a ninja because of it, he would defend them without any hesitation and demand they are given the respect they deserve. In his eyes they are not only extremely capable and talented ninja, but also the strongest person he knew.
Overall, it would take some time for both of them to adapt to their "new" reality, but they would both learn and grow together, strengthening their bond and proving that it is in fact their destiny to be together.

It is fascinating to watch how the fake and real blend. Because he takes her to see a shimmering river that reminds him of one he saw on his travels and he says it's to convince his brother he's besotted, but surely he could have done less and still be convincing.
But more importantly, he does private things for her that nobody else sees. She misses her parents so he tells her to look at the river since she said she looks like her mom and can see echoes that way.
He draws a painting for her, and it's not a random one but of the sweet shop her family planned to open...
He asks what she wishes for (and oh his face because he knows unless he finds meds, her time is limited) and btw it kills me, the mundanity of her wishes; and that little line of carrying her parents in her - this drama is so operatic yet it understands loss so well.
What if they have him take her there after she dies, what then?
I love his attempt to cheer her up and make the convo lighter (imagining a royal prince owning shares in a dessert shop!)
It's the way they are thoughtful with each other - he sends her armor and wound cream and ensures the pastry is beautiful and has cool texture since she can't taste, she makes scent to help him sleep. (And in grand prince manner, he beats up a doctor who couldn't cure her lack of taste :P)
I think they get each other the way hostage prince, sweet and nice and well adjusted never will, because they are mirrors of trauma and determination and loss. They GET each other on a different level because they are bound by the same tragedy.

ACNH creator showcase #8, Mia from Reverie! Creator code is MA-0190-3505-4239. Mia has a solidly incredible eye for fashion and design. The Moon Magic series up there clearly has every single piece designed separately, none of the copypasting to different shapes without adjusting waistlines that you see from some prolific designers. Fortunes Foretold is one of the most accurate Victorian pieces of its type I've ever seen -- I can practically hear the fringe of jet beads jingling when it moves, and feel the texture of the sheer lace apron on Sunset Maiden. The hints of pintucked yoke texture on the bodice of Garden Walk... seriously, I can't. The kind of precision it takes to do this sort of art with joycons.
Do you see the hem stripes on Autumn Cheer? The way they follow the wiggles of the skirt edge? That doesn't happen. The game cuts a curve into the lowest pixel line of your skirt on that design. Mia had to draw those stripes *curved*, following the lines of the curve the game was going to cut, in order to make them look like they were appliqued parallel to the hem. I don't think I can possibly express how much I haven't seen that done anywhere else.
October Dreams is on a kimono pattern, but when you walk, the way the skirt moves around your legs gives the illusion that it's a jumpsuit, with the costume bones placed exactly where your legs are under the fabric. Custom jumpsuits don't exist in this game. Mia faked a jumpsuit with the power of design.
People who know Breath of the Wild have probably already gotten the utter genius that's the Revali's Gale design, but for the rest of y'all -- Revali is an anthropomorphic bird. Mia's using the flappy sleeves of the kimono design to create his wings, and the same visual trick as on October Dreams for his fluffy gray-feathered legs. The colors and textures are a perfect match. Just, the sheer artistry on display here!
(Seriously. Using the kimono sleeves for his wings. I'm not gonna be over that one for A While. It's one of those strokes of genius that seems like it should have been perfectly obvious, and yet there it is and you didn't think of it first. They're the right shape and everything!)

OOH okay, so i'm at work so a lot of this is gonna have to be word of mouth but i'll do my best w the tips
as far as i can tell, a lot of what people reference as "soft" in my art boils down to looseness in forms and color choices, so lets go from there
》 probably my biggest tip is not beating your sketch to death. i typically only sketch once or twice before lining, 3 times if im not sure or need some minor adjustments. the less i sketch, the looser my lines
》 my liner and painter are the same brush! its a round brush w a canvas texture turned up to 80% texture density and. i think it was 70% mix? its a v simple brush. i found it for free on clip studio's library
》 my lines and color are on different layers. BUT. the paint layer starts as bg and undertones, and then i lower line opacity to 50-80% before the rest of the painting. like this 👇
》 i'll paint on one layer most of the time! ofc this means i need to adjust skin tone based on undertone. so i usually paint in undertone, pick the Exact color i want for skin, then lightly paint over a small patch so that the undertone comes thru the skin color how i want. then i'll color pick it and go abt coloring the rest in. this means i get the undertone automatically in my paint without having to do a seperate layer. p much the entire painting is done this way, ie choosing an exact blush color 》 painting a light patch over the skin 》 color pick and color in
if this is a little difficult bc of the complexity of undertone, then i'll paint the skin color as an overlay, adjust it as needed, and merge the layers so it's back to being one layer of color. ie, i did halsin's undertone p complex so i painted his skin on a "darken" overlay and merged it down, then color picked as needed from there
》 another thing, i dont use darker shades of skin tone for my shading! in fact, i kinda just do what i want. i pick whatever color fits my piece (blue, pink, purple, etc), and then do the same light patch 》 color pick steps for general shading
even my more "realistic" painting uses a navy blue for my shade! just evened out by mixing with the skin tone

How to Write Bug Reports for Mods (that are actually helpful for the modder)
I have received a lot of useless bug reports over the years and it sucks big time. So here's a guide on how to write not-sucky reports for mods. Keep in mind this is based on my experience modding Skyrim on the Nexus, so YMMV, but hopefully it's somewhat game-agnostic.
Before you do anything:
Read. Everything. EVERYTHING in the mod's description. Then, when you're done with that, go to the Comments section and read ALL Sticky Posts. Then at least skim the most recent comments.
If you don't find your solution there, then proceed.
What is a bug?
A bug is an error in the mod. Whether it's a bad texture, mesh, or an error in the data package (.esp files for Skyrim.) Bugs will be present even on an otherwise unmodded setup.
What is NOT a bug?
Mod conflicts are when two or mods have conflicting data with another mod. This often presents the same as bugs BUT the key difference is that issues caused by mod conflicts are not present if the other mod(s) is not loaded.
These may need a patch to fix or you may just need to adjust your load order.
Why does it matter?
Bugs are a modder's responsibility and they (and other users) would benefit from knowing about it. If you find a bug after ruling out your other mods, please report it in the Bug Reports section!
Mod conflicts are not a modder's responsibility: there is no way modders can (or want to) test their mod with the millions of mods out there. Conflicts are not inherent to the mod, and should not be reported as bugs. However, it would be beneficial for users and the modder to know about, so I recommend leaving a comment.
What Information Should You Include in a Bug Report?
What version of the mod are you using?
Include the version number. Nexus tacks one onto reports, but it is usually inaccurate.
If there are multiple versions of the mod (whether it be separate files or choices you make while installing with a FOMOD etc.) include your choices. This can make a HUGE difference, as they can contain completely different data and the modder needs to know exactly where to look for the issues.
Are you using any additional patches the modder made?
Include these in your report.
Have you ruled out other mods/tested on a minimal mod load?
If not, please do this. If you don't want to, then don't post as a bug report (as it may or may not be a bug.) Adding a comment about it is fine, though, of course.
Explain your issue.
Give as much information about who/what/where/how you encounter the bug. Give information about how you tested for it, what happens, exactly when the problem happens.
Did you encounter the bug while updating? Say what version your started with and what version your updated to.
Particular NPC(s) affected? Add their names (please.)
An Example of a Report I'd Like to See:
*on the Nexus Bug Report Page: Very Real Cat Mod*
Hi Modder. I'm using version 2.0, the Oops All Bingus option.
While playing, I noticed Bingus (the cat that lives in the Bannered Mare) has solid purple eyes. I tested without any other mods active and it still happens. It only happens to Bingus, all the other cats I've seen have normal eyes.
I am not using any of your other patches for the mod.
Bottom line: modders should not have to play 20 Questions to get to the bottom of the problem.
#skyrim#mods#modding#skyrim mods#gods i wish there was an oops all bingus version of the very real cat mod

Sorry if it was already asked but how do you get the funky texture in your drawings ∘ ∘ ∘ ( °ヮ° ) ?
this has not been asked, and i am happy to answer !! :-D
typically, i use brushes that already have some texture! i use cole's pencil pack for procreate!! it costs $5, but it's definitely worth the buy!!
for the noise textures in my backgrounds, i typically use the "Noise Brush" in the "Materials" section of the default procreate brushes!
and, for giving the whole drawing some extra texture, this is what i do:
Export the drawing as it is
Import the image at the very top layer
Staying on the same top layer, go to Adjustments>Gaussian Blur, do around %2
Adjustments>Noise, do around %10-20
(OPTIONAL) Adjustments>Saturation and crank the saturation up all the way
Lower the image's opacity anywhere from %10-25, and bam!! You have some textures and a nice, subtle bloom effect :-) you can tweak any of these steps to your liking. do whatever works for you!
these steps also may not work for other drawing applications! keep in mind i use procreate. if you use ibis paint x, clip studio, etc instead, then you may have to do things differently to get similar textures & effects for your drawing!
i hope this helps!! 💛🎨

how do you get your lineart so smooth? 😩
lots of practice!!! this sounds like a cop-out, but really--it's true! you'll only achieve nice smooth lineart in digital art if you've gotten comfortable with your tablet and pen sensitivity, so that means lots of scribbling and hatching to get a feel for it. my best tip is to make your lines quick and fluid--don't hesitate at all because your pen will pick up on it and turn the line wobbly; make fast, broad strokes and keep going, you can adjust them later. for more detailed lineart, zoom in! try to keep those lines short and precise, less bold than the frame of the figure.
here's an example of what I'm working on now, with some of my pen settings:
I tend to keep the opacity pretty high, but the flow can shift depending on how pencil-like I want the line to be. and for pieces like this, I keep the brush size the same for the whole figure
different textures call for different line types. experiment with the way the brush moves--thicker and bolder in the middle vs thin wispy lines, spontaneous, jerky movements vs. controlled swoops, etc. I tend to exaggerate the juncture where lines meet by filling in the corner a bit, and I'm not too big on having bold and shadowed lines (this is a 'style choice', but really, I wish I could make more dramatic lineart 😔)
all in all--just have fun with it! lineart styles vary, so keep practicing, and you'll be able to achieve a smooth, effortless effect once you've gotten comfortable with it <3

Rick Sanchez Showing Signs of ASD for 30 Images
(Re-posting this from a previous reblog I posted in. For organisational purposes.)
(Using some notes from CDC.gov and NHS.uk)
“People with [autism spectrum disorder (ASD)] often have problems with social communication and interaction, and restricted or repetitive behaviors or interests. People with ASD may also have different ways of learning, moving, or paying attention. It is important to note that some people without ASD might also have some of these symptoms.” - Signs and Symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder, CDC.gov
Similar to the above quote, some of the below examples can be explained through Doylist (meta) explanations (for example, Rick usually wears the same clothes because that's a common trope in animation, due to asset limitations and marketing/merchandise reasons).
With that in mind:
Bad sensory, overstimulation: Rick preferring to eat just noodles (possibly due to texture/taste aversion), instead of having what everyone else in the family is having.
Getting very upset if someone touches or gets too close: Rick pushing Morty away when Morty runs up to hug him.
Stimming (repetitive performance of certain physical movements or vocalisations) by moving his fists in a celebratory shaking motion in multiple episodes.
Gets upset by minor changes. Rick getting mad at Morty for changing the position of his car seat, refusing to leave a dangerous situation until it's re-adjusted.
Rick: "Wait, did you f**k with my seat settings?!"
Having the same routine every day and getting very anxious if it changes: Rick being upset that Morty is busy and can't go on an adventure with him (like in a typical episode).
Gastrointestinal issues (for example, constipation). An episode focuses on Rick needing to go to a custom planet (that felt safe and secluded) to use the toilet and feeling great distress upon learning that someone else found the planet.
Has a safe food that is seeked out for comfort. Rick likes wafers. He's seen getting them from the kitchen in multiple episodes, Beth makes sure the house is stocked with them, and the Citadel of Ricks even has its own factory to produce them.
Referencing good sensory: Rick talking in detail about pancakes covered in syrup, not wanting the pancakes to go bad.
Rick: "Now if you'll excuse me, I've got pancakes back home with syrup on top of them. They're about to hit that critical point of syrup absorption that turns the cakes into a gross paste. And I hate to get all Andy Rooney about it, but I think we all like fluffy discs of cake with syrup on top!"
And Rick enjoying pancakes in S1E10 and S4E2:
Has obsessive interests. Rick becoming hyper-focused on giant mecha collecting and Morty reminding him to not go overboard on his new hyperfixation.
Morty: "Sometimes, enough is... ?" Rick: (Sadly) "Sometimes enough is enough."
Liking to plan things carefully before doing them: Rick keeping various helpful inventions in his lab coat just in case he needs them later (Vindicators episode).
Infodumping (to excitedly share a large amount of information about a highly-focused subject or passion at one time, usually in great detail and length).
Finding it hard to talk about feelings: Rick having hesitation in apologising and explaining his thoughts and feelings to Jerry.
Rick: "If I'm genuinely cool, I should be able to love you. Which I... therefore do."
Avoids or does not keep eye contact: Rick looking away or breaking eye contact with Morty. Image set of Morty calling him out:
Rick breaking eye contact while lying to Morty:
Having a preferred outfit to wear each day (can be cause of sensory issues). Rick wearing the same blue shirt for over 40 years (we see in flashbacks that it was brighter and has faded with time).
Unusual speech patterns, such as stuttering. Rick's stuttering decreases as seasons progress.
Vocal stimming (when someone repeats a specific sound or phrase to produce sensory stimulation). Some autistic children find it easier to make up their own words. Rick repeatedly saying, "wubba lubba dub dub." He will also repeat his own words (echolalia) immediately afterwards.
Delay edecholalia, scripting (when someone "saves" exact phrases and uses them later to make social situations easier). Rick (in The Ricks Must Be Crazy) remembers Morty's comment, "that just sounds like slavery with extra steps" and uses it later to try and win an argument with another scientist.
Not picking up social cues, finding it hard to understand what others are thinking or feeling. Rick making a joke and then realising the other person is in too much distress to laugh with him (has done this with both Morty and Jerry).
Rick: "You're not laughing?" (Expression changes upon realising) "Oh, right. You're dying."
Unconventional grief response, "inappropriate" facial expressions, lack of fear: Rick reacting to burying himself in a less uneasy way than Morty.
"To the point" style of social interaction. Rick often speaks bluntly and is seen as rude by other characters in response.
Rick: "Everyone, f**k off. Morty, I need your help."
Has a terrible memory but can remember ridiculously difficult information if it interests him. Rick forgets his portal gun and leaves it behind, but can remember the formula for various chemical reactions without using a reference (ending of M.Night Shaym-Aliens!).
And finally...
President Curtis referencing Rick's neurodivergency:
Rick's comment:
Rick: "I'm not touching that thing,"
Rick finding a roundabout way to let Morty know that he (Rick) also has ASD:
Rick: "Is this game popular with autistic people?" Morty: "Why would you say something like that?" Rick: "Because I'm starting to love it."
Wish I could have added more examples, but 30 images is Tumblr's current post limit.
(I understand that the potential meme joke by OP is that the "NOT YOU" image is of Rick from season 1, versus his markedly changed characterisation in season 5-onwards, that focused more on coding Rick as neurodivergent.)
I hope this has been in some part educational for a few readers. Happy Autism Acceptance Month.
But now for the disclaimer bit: Don't take it from me, learn more about ASD.
