#kinda related to the topic: maybe it doesnt bother others but to me it Was a little annoying how little they used flashbacks in this show

[ghostlyvoidshark]

Hnnnghhdhdh thoughts of the sillies forever haunts me. Someone please worsen my brainrot I need to write something. The words wont word right but im trying.

The best I have right now is thinking about how the skelebois would react to someone with tourette-syndrome (because I have it and self indulgence in creative works is great.)

Please let me know your ideas and stuff about this and if you want more guys with other stuff or more reacting to this!

Very patient with you and honestly would probably not care unless something is timed funny / a silly response. I personally wouldn't be offended and would probably laugh at myself too. Like something happens - maybe he made a comment about something like the price of a ketchup bottle and you reply with a tic like "yippee" and you both end up snorting. Maybe it even becomes an inside joke. "How cheap is it?" / "dont worry its yippee certified."

Wouldn't ever antagonize your tics. He may joke (after a convo about boundaries and if youre genuinely okay with jokes) but he doesnt echo you / encourage you to tic for humors sake or anything else.

He doesn't personally understand tics and how it feels to do it but he understands pain and would 100% be there to help you out when / if you have painful tics. If you allow it he'll get you soothing items and distract you if it will help. Just let him know and he's got you.

If you develop a tic related to him he'll lowkey find it endearing. Like he isn't sure if its because you like him or if it's just a coincidence but he smiles a bit wider when you do it. (Stars help him if you develop a pun related tic like repeating his or saying one)

I usually have happy tics (probs something tied to stimming but it feels like a tic.) So i can imagine if you tell him the related tic is because youre happy he would melt on the inside. Especially when he realizes you echo him because you think hes funny. He has buried his face in a pillow to hide his blush after you leave. Papyrus has teased him for this.

Has on occasion made people uncomfortable for antagonizing you. Like glaring or making pointed jokes to rude people. He'll try to call them out first just in case they don't realize they're being harmful but if they don't care then He'll make them.

Papyrus

"ARE YOU OKAY?"

"Yeah, its just -" *explains tourettes*

"OH! OKAY! :] "

Literally as simple as that. He doesn't draw anymore attention to it or really notice it unless you bring it up. Like he just writes it off as a thing that happens and adjusts quick.

If you're okay with it he'll inform people you have it when they get confused. He figures it must be tiring constantly explaining yourself, but worry not! He loves sharing information and explaining things! Especially when its helpful! Not to mention when the topic can educate others on how to be more respectful and informed on others disabilities. So he sees it as an all around good thing and wouldnt be bothered at all to help. (Also he isnt going to just announce this about you, only saying things in convo if ppl ask)

Also, even if you prefer he not say anything, he will educate himself on the subject so he can be a better help and have a better understanding just in case the subject ever comes up later or he meets someone else with tics. It also doesn't hurt to be aware and conscious of these types of things!

I feel like he's respectful enough to let you finish your sentences but if you struggle really hard he might try to help. He'd gently ask a question about what youre trying to say and suggest words to help. He wont do it again if you ask him to stop - hes not doing it maliciously after all. He just doesn't want you to feel frustrated with yourself.

Is a tiny bit (actually very much) hyped when you echo him or have a tic related to him. He asks if its a good thing (like not a stress tic or smth) and if you say yes then he kinda taps his feet / jogs in place and squeals like an exited fan. Says soemthing along the lines of "I AM HONORED TO BE A PART OF SOMETHING YOU DO TO EXPRESS POSITIVE EMOTIONS!"

Awe and if you copy his laugh? Like echoing it when you're happy or smth he is beaming with pride like he's the sun itself. Because!! His laugh!!! It makes you happy and you want to do it with him!!! Kcjdjsns

Actually surprisingly (or not so surprisingly) helpful with painful tics and tic attacks. He is very good at getting you what you need to soothe you / make things less painful and stressful.

Would lecture someone for antagonizing you.

Red

Unusually patient with you finishing sentences and stuff. He kinda just sees any stutters or interruptions as part of the sentence. Like if someone were to get sidetracked or mutter something - he sees it like that. Sometimes he gets frustrated if you struggle to say something for a bit but its not at you. Its at the fact that he isn't getting what you mean when you try to explain without the troublesome word or if you continue to try to say it and it doesn't click in his head.

His immediate reaction is to side eye you but he doesn't make a big deal out of it. He'll probably comment on it like "you gettin' possessed?" But after you explain hes like "oh." And backs off. Might make some jokes before even processing that it could be offensive. Like not jokes about you being broken or negative stuff (hes trying not to be so rough around the edges lol) but just puns about the tics and jokes about glitches or something.

Probably would be the most ... "normal" about it. Wouldn't really ignore them or treat it like its a sensitive topic. Will point out when its funny (in a non harmful way), asks about them sometimes, and makes small comments here and there. For example if you make a weird gesture he'll tease you about it saying stuff like "castin' spells?" Or "I agree" to something you said that makes no sense.

Never thinks to antagonize your tics. Like yeah, he jokes, but he just doesnt think about it or think to avoid it. He just doesnt.

Gives mean looks and snaps at people who do it. He'll be nonchalant about it at first like "hey man, fuck off with that." But if they keep on he'll get more aggressive.

Kinda awkward with the painful ones at first. He thinks you probably just want to get through it and move on because pain isn't something normally expressed for him so he kinda just subtly goes easy on you without really drawing attention to it. If you express it more openly and/or he gets more comfortable he will try to help you out. He understands having aches and pains from things you can't really help (like wounds and scars) so he'll try to apply what he knows and what you tell him helps.

Grim

A little impatient but tries his best to be polite. He understand its not your fault, and he doesnt blame you for any irritation he has, he just gets antsy when things arent efficient. (Hes working on it.) At least he doesnt rush you or anything... yay?

Other than that he has a "i don't care" attitude about it. Yes yes, its a part of you, so what? He doesn't mean anything by it, he just doesn't see it as something worth acknowledging, really. It's like noticing someone has curly hair. Its there, it might be something worth noting at first, but then you just forget about it until its relevant.

Doesnt care if something is funnily timed either. You can have fun with it but he isnt bothered. But if you have a response to something he says, tic or otherwise, he instinctively takes it as a genuine response lmao.

"HM, THESE NOODLES HAVE BETTER INGREDIENTS BUT THESE ONES HAVE THE PERFECT SHAPE FOR WHAT I WANT TO DO."

*tic: " mac n cheese"

"NO, MACARONI NOODLES WOULD NOT SUFFICE."

Like he doesn't process it entirely that its a tic and kinda just responds seriously. Its kinda funny tbh. You'll probably end up giving up on explaining its a tic anyways if you try so itd be easier to go along with it. (He argues that it is rude not to respond and he is taking his manners seriously now that he is out the underground.)

Will rock someones shit for being disrespectful and antagonizing you. Like maybe not physically but he will verbally rip someone to shreds. Like its pathetic to antagonize someone for something so basic for no reason. Is this person serious? Being rude over something so minor. No, its not funny. What is funny is how this person thinks they can just start shit and be a nuisance with no consequences. People like them would've gotten their teeth knocked in for behaving that way. People at least knew not to be assholes for no reason. (They had a system of 'i leave you alone you leave me alone' unless someone was after something like power or money or whatever. You always had a reason to do violent things. It was normalized, but it wasn't barbaric. )

cont.

i ran out of character space so heres part 2. its off topic but i wish i had more asian friendsLOL im so serious. i kinda wish i could have other asian friends who could relate to me and share the same interests in me. some would even share the same interests as my bf just bc were both slightly weebs lolol but in a chill, not excessive way. i think thats why me and snow got along so well from the start without even meeting bc theyre my only friend who is also a nerd like that. were both foodies in our own way and were always down for asian food lol. theyre also my only “goth/emo” friend so we have the most similarities when it comes to our sense of style and like id honestly love to have like a cute goth/emo friend group. whenever i see my mutuals on ig who have those friends and they post pics im like..you guys look so cool together and im jealous lol and im jealous of the friend groups that take cute pics together fr. but yeah idk, id like to meet more asian people but how could that happen, its so specific lmao the only thing i could think of is that app but i cant just start using it without discussing it with my bf and thats what id be nervous about bc like wth i feel like its such a strange requestttt LOL and im scared of judgement so yeah. theres like a slight, slim chance hed let me. i feel like the only way hed really be down for that is if we could share the acc on our own phones. (i think im actually gonna see if thats possible). he at least wont be turned off about the opportunity of making potential friends! he barely has friends to hang out with and i feel bad that he doesnt have a true friend group to do stuff with. his best friend lives in florida (like mine), him and his close friend went separate ways in life, and his school friend is no more in the picture. so like everyone he genuinely hung out with is just unavailable & all thats left are like the little friends that arent life long, yknow. i would like for him to find people he can share the same interest with but even when he tried finding them online they didnt stick. so yeah thats been on my mind. another kinda off topic thing is how hes been bad with replying lately!!! like he’ll just fall asleep early without saying anything to meee. like I KNOW hes on his phone from the time hes eating and in bed ready to sleep. the least he could do is send me a msg!! itll be like 9pm and he disappears:( its the worst on days where im so busy at work so i barely talk to him but then once im finally out hes not always responding fast enough, so again, barely talking that day. he’ll go out to eat lately and not share what he eats with me or send msgs in general! ik it sounds extra i guess but like he can at least send me a pic of something! im always sending him pics when im out with other people and sharing with him what im experiencing and he lowkey sucks at doing that. ill literally ask him to show me pics of places hes at bc he doesnt lol idk maybe its bc i like taking pics in general. but anyways, hes been replying so slowly lately so its been bothering me and also the weed!! how he starts to go nonverbal and then knocks out early when we take edibles bc he takes an insane amount of mgs and so were just on two diff levels of high as the day goes byyy. when we were eating out that day i suddenly told him that i think he overdosed on the edibles lmaoo i couldnt keep it in any longer. he now takes 500mg of a punch bar!!!! he gets the 1000mg bar when he used to get the 250mg one. he would take 2-3 squares. then it was 3-4. hes done the whole 250 maybe multiple? times (ik at least once) now its always 500!!!! &if im being truly honesttt, i dont like it. i dont like how hes like out of commission early. i used to throw up so much from bad trips and turns out i was just taking too much lmao i would get bad motion sickness or id eat too soon/too much. so id be so out of it and i hated that feeling so much and he would be awake and fine. id eventually come back to reality & wouldnt feel sick anymore but now its like the opposite, except he doesnt wake back up!!!!!

[deadbirdsinariver]

I should text my half sister really. Shes been calling me but I really dont feel like talking to anyone.

Tbh I dont know why I hate talking to people so much. Its not like I enjoy being alone either. Its just idk I guess alienation?

Not to bring that 2013 emo bs back. But I just very much feel like I dont fit in anywhere. Which doesnt bother me most of the time. But it makes communication hard. I dont often have things to relate to with people. I dont hsve topics to speak about because none of the things on my mind are good for conversation or intresting to others. And thus it just kinda ends up with me listening to others. Which im okay with! But I think that too just makes the divide bigger in a way.

Maybe I dont have a good core identity. But I think thats probably also just capitalism n branding talking to me. I blame college for that one. But it isnt untrue. Ive been working on twitch branding n it just. What if that isnt me you know. N then im stuck in it. N itll just nake me feel more alienated because now people will start to form an idea of who n what I am that is nowhere close to true.

Atleast typing all this put made me realize i may not be doing as well mentally as I thought I did.

I think thats just cuz none if it really bothers me in my day to day life. Its just thoughts. And I can stop thinking them when I dont wanna think about it anymore. And the moment I do, its no longer an issue.

But nothing really affects me. Like. Generally. Wats that called? Apathy? I think so. Not empty. Just not sensitive.

[4x01]

hiiii um i know im very late to everything but im another autistic who would like to chime in?? basically i agree with the other two anons in that the way people infantilize jack is really uncomfortable. this is kinda embarrassing but jack means a lot to me on a personal level because i STRONGLY relate to them, like i am fr so jack-coded ahabajandxkdj we have a lot of the same behaviors, behaviors people use to say they’re a child…when jack takes things too literally for example, like the parent’s permission thingy, that’s a very well known autistic trait so i dont think’s that’s “proof” that they’re a child. literally i do that all the time, and like other anon said, so does cas. or the fact that they have a stuffed bear; that doesnt mean theyre a child. i’m a young adult and i have a whole ass collection of them! and cas got a plushy for claire despite her not being a child. characters in the show have called jack hot too, like that one volunteer woman in 15x15. so i dont see why it’s wrong for you to? the show itself has put jack in situations that as you said would be so gross to do for a baby. i mean why would they have a toddler thinking theyre gonna have sex? thatd be vile. also that whole scene with harper just really reminded me of myself and how awkward i am with dating absbsjsndj so yea i highkey headcanon jack as an autistic young adult! and the cast members definitely do too, given some of the jokes the cast members have made (which were still inappropriate for other reasons ofc but they would NOT say things like that abt a toddler). holy shit this anon is so long im sorry sydney it’s just this issue has been bothering me for a rlly long time and it’s refreshing to see ppl talking about it and im hoping it can maybe provide another perspective? :’) it’s just that the infantilization of autistic ppl has gotten so aggravating that i straight up dont like telling ppl i’m autistic because so many times theyll change how they act with me and treat me like a baby. so the babyfying of jack just reminds me of that and i feel ILL. btw if it makes u feel better i also think jack is cute 👀 i wanna take him on a date to buy stim toys

anon i can tell this has been bothering u and i hope to have made u feel a little more seen🥺 im not autistic but a number of people close to me are so i do feel obligated to share about this topic; i can definitely see how the infantilization of jack could make you uncomfortable as someone who heavily relates to him. thank u for sharing and yes he’s cute as hell i hope you DO take him on a date to buy stim toys

Ivi, can you explain to me this kinda discourse between reddit and tumblr about the roleplay in hermitcraft?

Since middle of season 8 i stopped to interact with both fandoms, so am not well aware of what happening, what can a i see is what most people here on tumblr love the rp while reddit hate it.

My doubt is, if people in reddit was as annoying as some people here on tumblr with that topic.

I had a really toxic annon bothering me cause i didnt like the roleplay this season and saying i shoul leave to reddit cause i "betrayed" hermitblr. The nerve! Dear, am on tumblr before you know how to use a computer!

I wasnt really bothered with the rp thing, even if i dont like it i really get bored with it that i stopped watch their videos, but i still supports them cause hermits deserved and i know people enjoy it. But then a lot people started to harassed the hermits that doesnt participate in the roleplay that i decided to avoid the fandom at all with little exceptions.

Uf sorry for the rant, but it was stuck in me since forever and am trapped in this bored bus ride and cant see the hermit stream :c

Te enviaria una foto de doggos en compensación, pero tumblr no me deja enviar fotos

Hi Svetla!! So sorry for no immediate reply! I was watching the stream to get all the info!

But now Im here so I’ll explain the sort of beef?? I mean is not a beef is the perceived difference of fandom between both plataforms.

With the end of season 8 being so positively received on tumblr while it had mixed and more out right negative reactions on reddit it started becoming apparent that opinions where more varied than any of the sector’s thought but still they remained somewhat separated from eachother because of plataforms.

I discussed this before with Quara, but personally I believe that each site by how it works and by how present the Hermits are in each platform satisfies different needs for different fans.

Tumblr’s chaotic, collaborative culture and layout allows for more fandom-y practices like creating headcanons, creating fanon lore, creating alternate universes, etc. So it both encourages fans to interact with more fandom content as well as attract fans that would like to engage with the og content (hermit videos) and the fandom content (all the mentiones above and more)

Meanwhile Reddit with its system of upvotes and downvotes and focus on soley discussing the subject matter + the fact Hermits are directly involved with it. It attracts another demographic like the fans that are more interested purely on the content, or the tech side of it.

This two are probably influenced by demographocs as well but that is not the point.

The point is there are different expectations in each site because put simply. There are different ways to enjoy things and none is better than the other, they are simply different.

Having that in mind, the different expectations create different reactions which is what we observed happened with season 8.

My theory is that the storyline of big moon and the big lore implications excited Tumblr because that is what the fans in tumblr are expecting. After all we do much more headcanoing and derivative fan content here. We expect change, we enjoy change since being in fandom (as understood in tumblr) means you are exposed to quick variations and collaborations and changes so if you find yourself in hermitblr you are probably expecting and enjoying more the lore related changes.

Meanwhile the reddit audience that may enjoy more the reliable format of the hermits, the more hanging out vibes of it which each member doing their projects found the change to be neutral or negative (broadly speaking, no plataform specific fandom is a monolith I’m just trying to explain the general attitudes I saw and the reasons I think it might be different). Maybe it was not even the change in on itself that made reddit found season 8 jarring but simply that it was less of what they had come to expect from hermits.

And important to reiterate. Both takes are valid! Content can be enjoyed in different ways

As the hiatus settled in. It became clear Hermits where receiving most of their feedback from youtube, reddit and twitch. But it became noticeable in tumblr that the feedback that had come from reddit since many users (me included) would see the feedback on the reddit and even if not rude (hell, it was probably not even the majority that was being actively hostile) it could be harsh. And some bordered on the attitude of “oh! The HERMITS (all) DIDNT like season 8 so OBJECTIVELY I am more right than people that liked it because I didn’t like it! In fact I hated it!” (This comment has been exaggerated, is just to highly some of the thoughts in the subreddit)

Tumblr of course did not enjoy this sort of attitude as many people here did enjoy it, and claiming all Hermits hated it and that it was a mistake it was a very general statement in a more complex situation. Tumblr (at large. Not saying absolutely everyone) did appreciate the storyline, and the experimentation and the effort. -Thus why the current push for hermitblr fans to be more vocal in channels hermits see (like twitch) of their enjoyment of what the Hermits did. Not necessarily to go “no dudes we absolutely adored that with our entire souls you should only do this sort of lore now” but on an effort to let the Hermits know their experimentation was seen and appreciated.

Now to answer your question (sorry for the long ass context but it is needed to fully adress what had happened)

The anon probably saw you didn’t enjoy how season 8 turned out and probably being defensive because hey! They probably did enjoy it (and also a show of tribal mentality in humans of sticking with your group and othering the others) they went “hey you! Person that has negative opinions like the ones I have seen are shared by the reddit. Why don’t go there and leave us alone?”

Thats why the anon was asking you to leave.

Now was Reddit as toxic about it as Tumblr? Well… yes. In the sense that each plataform perceived general opinion (which is valid) emboldened people to belive “oh so we are all in agreement and we all feel like this”

Tumblr may have been toxic about the lore imposing it as the “great thing that needs to happen always and the thing missing from hermitcraft” (although I wouldn’t know myself in what way since I admit was in a bubble of fellow fans enjoying it as much as I did. So if my assumption on how toxicity in tumblr looked like are wrong, forgive me I simply don’t know).

But Reddit had also been toxic with sentiments of “Hermitcraft is superior as a vanilla series and anyone that doesn’t like it like that should shove it” “Hermitcraft is ruined for me and I don’t think I will be anticipating the next season if they do the same” (valid sentiment. Just worded harshly on a plataform the Hermits use and could have seen that comment) “Hermitcraft is NOT supposed to be an rp series. I condemn that” (as strong dislikes as someone may have about what happened Hermits should be allowed to experiment)

So…. There hasn’t been direct beef but both sides definitely choose how they felt about the event and feel about it strongly, which in turn makes individuals act in a toxic manner on both sides.

Is a situation of a very “us v them” mentality even for what isn’t really beef?? Like Tumblr simply stared and reddit and went “huh so this happened” and Reddit hasn’t really acknowledged tumblr as far as I know? So… is not beef, just differences that have enabled some people to be toxic

[curious-menace]

Can you do headcanons of any Riddler getting cared for and gentle kisses from reader after getting beat up? He needs some loves.

SO I MAY HAVE SUGGESTED THAT MY ULTIMATE FANTASY IS TO GIVE RIDDLER A HUG WITH BACKRUBS AS HE TELLS ME ABOUT HIS DAY AND I STAND BY THAT WHOLE-HEARTEDLY .

i freaking love this stuff so im going to do all of them mwahahah

post asswoop riddlers getting loves

Arkham riddler

He’s VERY quiet, which knowing him and his inability to stop talking, is  bad news.

I paint arkham riddler as a cry baby and i stand by that. this is the hill i will die on. He’ll have dragged his sorry ass into your apartment or house , dripping blood on your floors but he wont bother calling for you. he’ll just sit at the table with his head in his hands having a lil pity party until you find him.

when you do finally get home, he’ll be looking like a kicked puppy. he’s gotten stuck in his own head, mentally beating himself up even more. he got a fright when you came in because he was so caught up he didn't even hear you at the door.

He’s literally sits there like a child with his arms up for you to come scoop him up. he’s not even sure why his first thought after getting beat up was to come here, he’s probably lead the cops here or something and that was so stupid and- you should probably give him a lil soft smooch on the head to stop him before he goes into a spiral.

he needs more emotional and mental care than physical. Talk to him while you're patching him up. any topic, it doesn't matter just keep him focused on your voice and not the one in his head calling him dumb.

he wont admit he wants to be held and coddled after something like this. get your softest blankie and 2 mugs of coco with marshmallows and just ramble at him. tell him about your day or ask him to explain something boring and complicated so he’s focusing on that rather than how upset he is. let him sit on your lap or between your legs on the sofa and watch how its made or mythbusters or something until he falls asleep. he should be ok again in the morning, he doesnt stay down for long. 

Blacklight Riddler

He’s used to getting his ass kicked, either by batman, the other rogues or once he’s a PI, by unhappy clients and the people he put away. He might be tiny but he’s pretty tough. 

even if he’s really hurting, his probably trying to crack jokes and tell blood and bruise related riddles. He doesn't like to see you worry so even if he’s in a lot of pain or a bit upset about things, he’s trying to make you smile.

he likes kisses on his bruises. even if he just banged his hand on the table he’ll come to you because he wants you to kiss it better. 

He’s a decent fighter, unlike a lot of riddlers who couldnt fight their way out of a paper bag. He can throw punches but he lacks in defence and with his bad knee, dodging can be a little hard. even if he wins the fight he’s still likely to need you to patch him up.

He likes kids plasters. like hello kitty and spongebob. no im not joking, he ALWAYS wanted them when he was little and his parents always said no. now he’s an adult he’s going to use them whenever he damn well pleases.

 if it was a particularly bad one, he’ll be ok in the moment even if he has to go to hospital. But he’s going to drop the facade at some point and let you see how upset he is. winding up in hospital after being beat was a common occurrence in childhood. even after doing it time and time again as an adult it doesn't make it any easier on him. he’ll want to stay in your bed, be close to you for few days until either he starts to heal or something snaps him out of his funk.

BTAS Riddler

he really prefers other people to do the fighting for him. well physically anyway. he can handle his own arguments...most of the time. He’s going to need you to nurse a bruised ego more than anything. he probably got dunked on my batman or crane and now he’s huffing.

i don't know if this counts as care and kisses but he clearly needs you around to keep his sorry ass alive. he hurt his side in a fight once and said he wasn't hurt. believable... until he started to act a little confused, a little dizzy. needless to say it worried you enough to take him to emergency care. 

He was obviously in agony by now but he was still fighting with you the entire drive there, insulting you and insisting he was fine. its a good job you took him when he did, turns out he’d ruptured his spleen and would probably be dead if you weren’t around to act like his common sense.

he still hasnt apologised for that. or any of the other times you insisted on medical care to stop him from pushing up daisies. he just pretends like you know he’s grateful so he doenst have to admit he’s bullheaded, stubborn and worst of all, wrong. 

if he has been seriously hurt, he acts more indignant about it than anything. he wants to be waited on and pampered while resting in bed. he can be a genuine pain to deal with, talking about how lucky you are to see him in such a vulnerable state and how you should be grateful he’s letting you do this for him.

He doesn't want to admit how much he actually needs you. his goons wont put up with him when he’s like this and he’s freaking paying them to do it. you do it for free and no matter how annoying he is you havent left him yet. he doesn't tell you but youve noticed he starts getting you more gifts about a week after he’s recovered. like its taken him a day or two to work out he should probably thank you for all you do.

Original Riddler

this riddler is just weird. like he gets a freaking hang nail and he pretends like he’s dying. but he could nearly lose a limb and he’ll say “tis but a scratch” and still try to hobble about like nothing is wrong.

actually he’s more like olaf “oh look i've been impaled.”. he probably tries to laugh off life threatening injuries like its nothing, taking maybe 3 steps before he collapses on his face in a blood puddle and lets out a tiny “help”

good luck moving his tall lanky ass around. better get a gurney and maybe those vets at the zoo who deal with giraffes. seriously if you want to take care of him you are going to need help or some sort of action plan and a go bag because with his limp butt this will not be easy.

he’s kinda like BTAS riddler in that he needs you to tell him the injury is serious. hes not dumb he just has a high pain threshold and genuinely doesn't realise that injuries are as bad as they are. 

he can be a bit of a baby while being patched up. he doesn't like a lot of blood or gore, it makes him feel a little sicky. better give him your phone to play with like a kid at the doctors or put the tv on for him to watch while you bandage  him. word of warning, he will pass out or throw up if you try to give him stitches.

i think you should focus your love and attention on him AFTER medical care. just focus on the job, be silent and as fast as possible to get it over with quickly. you should probably bring him something sweet too. no not just you, although you are sweet for looking after him. give him something sugary because he’s going to be light headed after seeing any blood. maybe you could give him a lolly for being a good patient. 

Telltale riddler

this riddler is essentially a metahuman. he can REALLY take a beating and bounce back fairly quickly. just look how many times batman punched him in the face and it barely stunned him! he doesnt usually need patched up after a fight. maybe just a lil smooch and some hugs

he did really need your help after the whole pact thing. having his friends abandon him hurt like hell, more than any physical injury ever could.

after that, he clings to you. almost obsessively so; we know he’s got some serious mental illnesses but he usually has the worst of it under control, even without meds. now? it seems like he’s experiencing ptsd and is afraid to go anywhere without you, like you might up and disappear if you arent in his line of sight at all times.

i think this riddler might need the most intense care from you. hugs and gentle reassurance wont be enough. you’re going to be responsible for taking him to therapy, keeping him taking his meds and grounding him to reality. this is the kind of responsibility you took on when you got involved with him but i doubt you realised how hard it would be. i cant promise it will all be worth it but i can promise he wont ever forget your kindness.

the kind of care he needs after such a hard knocking down is just stability. im not one for romance or any mushy gushy stuff but please just pour your love into the cracks in this poor mans soul.

its hard going, but he has his moments. his gallows sense of humor is still there and hey, after him being in and out and gone for so long, it might be nice to have him around more.  

Zero year riddler

INSUFFERABLE LITTLE SHIT THIS ONE. he could LITERALLY be bleeding out in your arms and he’d STILL be backseat driving on your medical skills. the temptation to just leave him there to bleed is INCREDIBLE.

he’ll drop the act eventually. he’ll ask and maybe even beg for your help. man has  no shame and all the self preservation instincts of a lemming. dont get me wrong, he can be a total coward some times, only looking out for himself . but when he’s actually hurt ? not a fuckin clue. does this head wound need an ice pack or heat pack? is this spurring blood wound worthy of medical care? no idea. he was a very sheltered child who never got so much as a bruise so he has no idea what to do when he’s hurt.

he gets the everloving shit kicked out of him on a clockwork basis. like you could hear knocking on your door at 3 am and already be at the table with a first aid kit like oh its tuesday riddler must have broken his nose.

he takes entirely too much joy in making you patch him up. youre starting to wonder if he’s doing it on purpose just to see you in your little apron and latex gloves . he’s getting off on this and you know it but god help you, you just  cant resist his dumb face asking for your help and would you also wear this pink nurses outfit while youre at it?

one time he lost a LOT of blood. he would be fine but he was pretty damn loopy from lightheadedness. while you were trying to get him into bed to rest he started flirting with you. can you believe the audacity? he’s lost 3 pints of blood and he’s still more focus on his libido? 

he’s actually going to be both humble and grateful for your help when he finally comes round. dont get me wrong, he’s still a bit of a prick but at least he says thank you for saving him before he demands you kiss all his booboos and ouchies. 

nonnie i am having a stroke. i was trying SO hard to just pick one but i COULDNT because i am WEAK for hurt and comfort.

theres a reason i have a tag that literally says “i have naughty hands and no self control”

someone needs to stage an intervention

got something you wana talk about? send me an ask or a dm! im always game to talk about our favorite curious menace 💚💜

How would the matsus try and woo over someone who’s a really shy shut in?

I am shy actually so thank u for the rq

Osomatsu might make a lot of jokes about how shy you are, but he is genuinely worried about you and how you’ll be able to interact with people with how shy you are? Like what if you’re working and there’s a horrible customer and you’re too shy to say anything? He has thoughts like those and worries a lot. When it comes to wooing you, he tries to poke fun and tease you a lot. He does this in general, but he might ease up a bit with somebody more shy since it’s harder to handle as a shy person? He probably assumes you’re like scared of everything and that you’re defenseless just because you’re shy, so he might just endlessly flirt with you and annoy you, so teach him a lesson please. Also, definitely tries to get you out more but if you don’t, he’s staying in your house with you. He might eventually just be like, “hey I like you lol” just randomly. Doesn’t think much about it.

As for karamatsu, he can understand completely. He was a rather timid kid in high school, so he sympathizes with you. Like osomatsu though, might be concerned about you not talking much to people and every once in awhile encourages you to go out more. (Might just be an excuse for him to hang out with you more though). He doesn’t mind the shyness, it makes him actually feel more comfortable and might even be a bit vulnerable with you. He finds himself adoring you a lot, though since he wants you to like him back he tries to act cooler than usual. When it comes to wooing he may flirt a bit, but he ends up becoming really nervous. He assumes since you’re shy you might have the same experience as him, so he just adores you and is very careful and cautious. If you do anything social he will praise you for hours as well, btw. Eventually you have to ask him.. “wait.. do u like me..?” And it’s only then where he’s like “yes did you just realize that now?”

Choromatsu isn’t exactly a shy person, but he can sympathize with you at the very least. Like the other two though, worries a bit about you not talking much to people. Even if it’s just with him and his brothers, he’d like it if you would talk a bit more and try not to be such a shut in and get out sometimes. He knows talking to people can be a bit difficult, but he still tries to encourage you to do so. Even if it’s just ordering food or something simple. Unlike the other two doesn’t limit your shyness to being timid. Not all shy people are scared all the time and timid individuals. They just have a hard time talking. He’s probably more understanding of this topic, and doesn’t mention it really. When it comes to wooing, he might be a bit nervous at this. He just does simple nice things for you, and eventually after MUCH time would ask you out on a private date where you two wouldnt be bothered.

Ichimatsu hates talking to people, he understands.. to an extent. He also understands wanting to shut yourself out from the world, he will gladly do it with you. He feels more comfortable with you because you both can relate to that sorta thing. You both hate talking to people. He just seems like a really good friend, he doesn’t woo you and finds himself in this friend zone typa thing. Eventually he finds himself just asking if you wanted to date him, and that’s that. All in all he likes somebody like you, you two just laze around all day doing nothing. Maybe petting some cats and playing with them but yeah. He hates having friends and it’s likely you feel the same. Like Choromatsu doesn’t limit your experience to being timid, you could be shy and have a personality like his. Whatever the case though, he will make sure you’re not too shy with him.

Jyushimatsu seems to carry a lot of your conversations because of your shyness but he really doesn’t mind. He’s with ichimatsu the most out of all his brothers, the least friendly one. He truly does not mind that you aren’t good at talking or if you just don’t like to. He’s good at talking about nothing and everything, and he can make you just so comfortable talking to him. He might just break you out of your shell a bit. He wants to get you out more often though. He’s not concerned about anything in particular like his eldest brothers are, he just thinks you should get out more. Especially since he loves going out! You two often have to compromise when hanging out, but eventually he asked you out on a date so you kinda had to say yes to leaving the house. Now he takes you on a lot of dates outside, but he will make sure it’s not too active for you if you don’t like that.

Todomatsu constantly whines to you about how you need to leave your house. Constantly insisting it cannot be healthy to be inside that much. So you and him will often go to the gym together but it’s quite literally the only time you leave your house. You cant get you to budge more than that. He doesn’t mind your shyness, as he used to be shy in high school himself. He doesn’t think much of it, it’s just who you are? He just doesn’t like that you don’t get out enough, doesnt that get sad and lonely? He tries to flirt from time to time, he gets a bit nervous about it though. Eventually he just asks you out on a date where he can take you shopping.. if you were comfortable but he really thinks you should see some people every once in awhile.

Self studying - how to know if i am on the right track?

Hello guys, i am a mathematical physics student in the mid of my second year and currently starting to learn about differential forms, integration on manifolds and functional analysis. prior to that i have studied proof based linear algebra and real analysis up to measure and integration theory.

while looking for books to study from i realized how vast mathematics really is beyond basic topics like real analysis and somehow i have the feeling that i am not grasping the new topics as good as the old ones.

for example, in linear algebra most theorems make sense intuitively when you imagine them in 3 dimensions with subspaces being lines and planes. in integration theory you define integrals as the limit of integrals of simple functions and you can then proof things like fubinis theorem by proofing it for simple functions and extending it to integrable functions by limit theorems etc. most of the time you can see why things are true and what the theorems mean intuitively and they seem like important statements to know about the objects youre dealing with.

now in those courses i felt like i am just studying familiar objects like integrals in greater detail. on the other hand, in functional analysis it seems to me that you just proof how random spaces are related to each other or how integral operators are continuous in different norms. the "applications" of the big theorems in my textbook consist of proofing such things most of the time. while there are sometimes also interesting statements about how you can solve integral oder differential equations using this, i just dont know why i would e.g. need to separate convex sets by continuous functionals.

i think differential forms make kinda sense to me after i read terence taos pdf and some things people wrote on stackexchange. still, learning about the lemma of poincare yesterday, i have no idea why it is true neither how one would come up with the idea to proof it or why it is related to the space being contractible or why the constructed form is the "antiderivative" (my book used a pullback from the space X to XxI using the projection to X and defined an integral form on XxI by just integrating the termins involving dt).

as i try to look up why this is true i find explanations on stackexchange involving things that seem very advanced to me at that point, like cohomology groups and cannot really follow them without getting lost in a rabbit hole of looking up definitions. most of the time i give up because it would just take too long. this feels wrong, because the authors of my books usually tell the reader that the books are written for self study and i have to move on without really having the feeling that i grasped the theorems. the book which covers differential forms for example, is the last book of a 3 book analysis series which starts from the basics like set theory and i read all the previous books and chapters, so i should get the theorems without looking up things from other sources for hours right?

often, authors hint to further topics and to me they all seem important to understand the material well, like category theory to understand de rham cohomology, yet i feel like i cant learn about all of them during my degree. when i look up how to get into category theory, i hear that i first have to read a book about algebra (which would take me like 3+ months probably, maybe more if im doing regular coursework parallel to it) and then about category theory (another 3 months), then maybe about topology and only then i can get started with a book about how those tools are used in manifold theory. so it would roughly take over a year TO GET THE BASICS. namely of one field (differential geometry). or do i just mistake pretty advanced stuff for "basic"?

or is it really supposed to take so long to undestand something well? this would mean that i could only reasonably learn about one field during my degree. but the description of the graduate level courses at my university states that prerequisites from many different fields are needed, mainly differential geometry, functional analysis, partial and ordinary differential equations and complex analysis. this is bothering me, because how could i possibly pick all of that up when i already need 1 year to learn the basics about the first field? am i just confusing the "basics" with pretty advanced topics? i cannot really tell how important things are and what i should know yet and what can wait until later.

so my questions are:

is it normal to move on in books without having the feeling of really understanding things well? do i just have to be patient and go on and eventually as i learn more about a topic and read more than one book about it i will slowly understand it more intuitively?

do you think i should ignore that feeling and things will suddenly clarify during a second read? or should i rather focus on getting intuition on the constructions etc as far as i can before moving on?

are these hints to further topics like category really intended for the average student, or are they aimed to people possibly specializing in this field later?

or should i consider to study different topics which are easier for me, like statistics oder progamming?

tldr; i am self studying and dont really know how to tell wether im doing good. solving exercises doesnt mean i understand the theorems intuitively, it just tells me that i can do computations. sometimes i have the feeling that im only progressing very slowly because there is so much (essential) math to learn. how much math does the average graduate/masters student know and how long should it take to pick that knowledge up? for example i consider the areas of differential geometry of curves and surfaces, integration of on manifolds, functional analysis, complex analysis and ordinary and partial differential equations to be something i should know at least at the level of an 300 page introductory textbook before applying to a masters, is that true? graduate course descriptions and the amout of classes some fellow students take make me think this is true.

i am sorry for the long post, but as i am self studying i do not really have anyone else to ask or any other way to know if i am doing good or i need to improve my study habits/the way i approach math.

thanks for reading this and (maybe) helping me!
