Socks

James never wears matching socks.

It’s not on purpose or anything, he just thinks there are more important things to do in the morning than worrying about his sock choices, and so he pulls on the first pair that he finds and goes about his day.

He doesn’t think about whether anyone notices his odd socks, either.

Until one afternoon as he’s hurrying through the corridor to his first class after sleeping through his alarm, and a voice makes him pause.

“I could give you a detention for not being in class you know.”

James smiles automatically as he turns around.

“And I suppose you have a perfectly good reason for flaunting the rules, Reg?”

“I never flaunt the rules, Potter. If I did, I’d know how to get away with it though.”

James laughs as he shakes his head. “You know I could give you detention too, right? I’m also a prefect.”

Regulus meets his eyes. “You won’t, though.”

“No,” he admits, “I won’t.”

“You’re so predictable.”

“What can I say, I’m a sucker for a pretty face.”

Regulus rolls his eyes at that. “Get to class, Potter.”

James grins. “Yes, sir.”

Regulus glances down briefly. “Your socks are matching today, by the way.”

James glances down at his pair of grey socks. Huh, they are. “Are you impressed?”

“I prefer it when they don’t. It’s more… you.”

A small smile plays across Regulus face before he turns around and disappears down the hall, James watching him the whole time.

And so James continues to never wear matching socks.

But now it’s by choice.

Being in uni and continuing your education while also being someone who’d rather watch hot guys play football all day is actually painful wtf😭.

I know I’m really telling in myself here but with the two marshmallow experiment, I would eat the first marshmallow right away. A marshmallow just isn’t enough reward to be bored for 15 minutes.

asked my friend if this lesbian who asked to hang out with me tomorrow likes me and she’s like “what time are you hanging out?” And I said like 9:30 pm and she’s like “oh yeah she wants to makeout with you”

i am such a painfully monogamous person in my heart. i genuinely cannot focus my attention and devotion on more than one person at a time.

For some reason whenever I hum the The Mister Men theme in my head it always blends into Hawaii five-o

i love it when characters are codependent. i love it when losing someone feels like losing a limb. i love it when two people "complete" each other so wholly and terribly that one can barely function without the other. i love it when the fear of losing the only person who understands them is so all-consuming they'll destroy anything to stay together, including themselves.

Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(

tips on refrigerator ownership for the mentally ill

1.) letting food go bad does NOT make you a Bad Person.

2.) it is okay to throw out only one thing at a time. even especially if there are a lot of expired things in there.

3.) give yourself permission to throw out tupperware once in a while.

if this gets 100 notes i'll make art of my oc based on my favorite plushie

[keferon]

Do you have any speedpaint or rather speedsketch (?) videos of your art? I'd love to see how you draw.

Yep! I draw in Procreate so I have speedpaints of all my art. But like… they aren’t pretty because my usual style of drawing is to draw a bunch of sketches simultaneously and switch between them mid process constantly. I exported one of my speedpaints so you can see exactly how chaotic and unsystematic it is 👍

i talked about it a little bit already but i have things to say about it. for context, i was born with amniotic band syndrome. the amniotic band wrapped around my left wrist in utero and stunted the growth of my hand. i was born with about half a palm, four nubs for fingers, and a twisted half of a thumb. i can open and close my thumb and pinkie joint like a claw.

yesterday at work i had a shift in the room with 5-10 year old kids. i had my left hand hidden in my sleeve (a bad habit of mine). a kid asked if he could see my hand, and even though internally i was debating running into traffic, i said “sure you can” and showed him my hands. he stared for a moment, looking disturbed, and then said “i don’t want to look at that anymore”. that hurt to hear, but i understand that kids are new to the world and he probably didn’t mean it out of malice. i put my hand away again, told him that it was okay, and that i was just born that way.

he then went on to talk about how he knows a kid with a similar hand to mine and called it “ugly”. i told him that wasn’t a very kind thing to say and that he wouldn’t feel good if someone said that to him, and he replied that no one would say that to him—because he has “normal hands”, and he’s glad he does because otherwise he’d be “ugly”. i tried to talk with him for a bit about how everybody is born differently, but he just started talking about a girl he knows with a “messed up face” and pulled on his face to make it look droopy. i went on some more about how it wasn’t very kind to talk about people that way, but the conversation moved on to something else.

i’ve told my supervisors about it and they’re going to have a talk with his mom. what i wanted to say is this: i’m genuinely not upset with the kid. kids are young and naturally curious, and he clearly simply hasn’t been taught about disabled people and kind ways to speak to/about others. which is why i am upset with his parent(s). i know he’s encountered visibly deformed/disabled people before (he said so himself!), yet his parent(s) clearly haven’t had any kind of discussion with him about proper language and behavior. i knew from birth that some people were just different than others, but my parents still made a point to assert to be kind to and accepting of others. i wonder if adults in his life are the type of people to hush him and usher him away when he points out someone in a wheelchair. that kind of thing doesn’t teach politeness. it tells children that disabled people are an Other than can’t be acknowledged or spoken about; which, to a child, means disability must be something bad.

i’m lucky enough that this was a relatively mild incident, and that i’m a grownup with thicker skin. i’m worried about the other kids he mentioned to me. has he been talking to them this way? when i was a kid, i had other kids scream, cry, and run away at the sight of my hand. or follow me around pointing at me and laughing at me. or tell me i couldn’t do something because i was ugly or incapable or whatever. one time a girl at an arcade climbed to the top of the skeeball machine, pointed at me, and screamed at me to put my hand away and wouldn’t stop crying until she couldn’t see me anymore. another time, a kid saw my hand, screamed at the top of her lungs, and ran into my friend’s arms, crying hysterically about how i was scaring her. that second incident made me cry so hard i threw up when i got home. i can kind of laugh it off now, but having people react to me that way as a child is something i’m still getting over. why do you think i have a habit of keeping my hand in my sleeve? it just irritates me to see children that have clearly not been taught basic manners and kindness—their parents Clearly missed something pretty important .

the most unrealistic thing about psych (2006) is shawn's perfectly ironed shirts, this man clearly wouldn't see the point in ironing his clothes
