it always like... baffles me to see the headlines that are like "[female centric movie in a male centric franchise] didn't do as well as the box office thought it would!"

like... of course it didn't.

there are so many loud sexist male superhero fans out there that are going to at least boycott a movie that doesn't have the amount of testosterone they're used to, and at most write false reviews.

not to mention those companies *cough marvel cough* tend to seem to spend a whole lot less money in advertising for these movies rather than the more mainstream ones. like, I hardly saw any advertising at all for The Marvels, and what little I did, it was short clips rather than full trailers. and trailers are extremely important when it comes to advertising, as they're essentially the storytelling part of it, the hook that makes people want to go.

they also aren't taking into consideration the target audience. by my guesses the type of people that would want to see those movies that are directed for the female gaze, are just that - female. young women/afab nerds. all of that applies to whether or not they can actually go watch the movie in theaters. women earn less than men, they have to be smarter with their money. and being younger, these fans are all earning minimum wage - or, like me, have disabilities and aren't earning any money at all. so likely the people who actually want to see these movies aren't actually going to be able to go out when it premieres - or it's just not worth it.

I guarantee you that once The Marvels starts streaming on Disney Plus, they're gonna be seeing all the numbers they were expecting. I know I'm excited to watch it!

I don't know. just a thought.

I understand that literature nerd Jason Todd is kind of overblown in fanon compared to it's actual presence in canon (a few issues during his pre (and post?)crisis Robin tenure that highlight it) BUT consider that I think it's hilarious if the unhinged gun toting criminal has strong opinions on poetry

[thatsmybook]

Some of my thoughts since the last episode of Agatha All Along:

The most earnest show of religion in an MCU property is being done through a queer kid. I like that the wider world is learning about the intersectionality of identity. I believe that Billy is as Jewish as William because a) the only family he knows has 'raised' him Jewish and b) his love of witchcraft and ritual and finding ways to explain his world intersect with the rituals and traditions of his faith. Even William was deeply fascinated with magic and witchcraft and journeys of discovery.

Marvel fans are aware that Wiccan is a strong character. The fact that this symbol of masculine strength can be found in a witch boy who is raised to be strong in his sense of self by women in his coven, is awesome. He is drawn to feminine strength as inspiring instead of looking for male heroes. He is attracting feminine forms of protection (Alice), feminine disruptors of the status quo and stereotypes (Lilia), strength in the feminine aesthetic and belief in your innate power (Jen), feminine quest for knowledge and ambition (Agatha). He is being shadowed by death (Rio), but even death gives life in its reincarnation (as we return to earth and feed the earth with our life-force to continue on in new forms).

I believe that Wiccan is/can be as important to the MCU as Spiderman is. Spiderman is a teenager who could be any and everyone. Spiderman looks up to Iron Man, especially but also seeks male role models and approval. (A big part of Iron Man's humanity and softness came from mentoring Peter Parker - I see parallels between Agatha Harkness and Iron Man in this way too).

I believe Wiccan is a version of masculinity to teens that can see that women hold the depth of knowledge and power that he is more interested in unlocking and that their experiences with adversity will be better guides for him as he grows to be the most powerful magic user in the MCU. He is also chosen as a witch and not a sorcerer/wizard/warlock.

Will we be getting little boys and girls and theys aspiring to be wiccans and spidermen equally?

tumblr gets a sneak since i dont want to upload on yt or anywhere else

I've been listening to da capo and since i got into bagginshield recently, when the song came up again, the line "there used to be a storyteller" hit me like a truck and thus this rot was born. It needs a lot of retiming and polishing (to my standards anyway) and maybe ill update separately or reblog or idk. The counting is me trying to time and check how many flashback scenes i can stick in there. i still need an extra set and again, more stuff, particularly some more movement, i was just a bit tired to try n figure it out since i started this at like 1 am fjejkfjs. It's not inherently bagginshield but the motivation is definitely abt bilbo and his dwarves tho the second half of the song is more about LOTR and the people there. Something something abt letting these characters be with the people they cherish at the end of it all.

my friend has called me out abt how i dont make normal endings but i swear this one ends sweet (tho tears taken are not my responsibility)

[cryptid-crow-wizard]

guess who got bakugan brainrot at 4 FUCKİNG AM

welp there goes my savings

it’s like beyblade and yugioh all over again

[definitely-not-an-alb]

Like I feel very silly when I say I stopped posting or honestly caring much about C3 because my feelings about it can be summed up with 'I don't know what the plot is or who these characters are or what we are doing at any given point or why I should care' and like! I am watching the show! I am up to date! And the obvious critique here is that I simply Do Not Understand, but, like, my 'what the hell even is the plot' questions are of a French cigarette auteur variety. Man, why are we even doing any of this.

And some of this is genre issues; I simply do not give a shit about birthrights or inherent powers in and of themselves and the types of plots I am interested in regards to these topics are very specific and limited. I Simply Do Not Care About Jean Grey And Never Will.

But man, I keep watching because every so often there's a few episodes that are Really, Really Good(TM). And I just wish it was good all the time. And I don't really feel a great desire to dig into the specifics of it. It's not that kind of bad that makes me want to take it apart. So I'm gonna keep watching while I do the dishes for the few Really Really Good eps and otherwise read something else.

aCoC oc??

phil told me to make up a crown of candy OC as i watch it, but nothing occurred to me for the longest time until the idea of cocktail courtesans smacked me upside the head !! so far the names we came up for them are missy julep, whitney sour (who has an orange peel lapdog named bitters), oliver martine, rita agave, anastasia mule...

[an-android-in-a-tutu]

it's actually kind of comical how often people inadvertently write Charlie in such a way that if I met her in real life she would twig my "approach with caution- possible TERF" alarm bells

[varlysca]

okay can some astronomy nerd help me out here: how many moons/planets are visible from Vulcan?

I know it's locked in geo-orbit with T'Khut, which itself has a moon (T'Rukhemai), as well as being visibly close to Delta Vega, but the memory alpha site is unhelpful as to which of these are acutally visible from the planet surface.

Technically, are all three visible?

[biohazard-inevitable]

Preloaded monster hunter wilds so that its ready to play as soon as release time hits (11 pm tomorrow for me) and I’m now in a state of paralyzis because the buildup is so damn strong like holy shit- monster hunter……. Just a day away….. oh my godddddd

[zepskies]

Hey loved your Sam having a crush on Dean's gf! I was wondering if I could request the flipped version where Dean has a crush on Sam's gf 😏😏

Oh my God, hun! 🫢

The way I didn't even contemplate this!! But it's so delicious...

(And thank you for reading that Dean imagine! It was angsty, but oh so fun. 😘)

See this imagine for context: You are Dean's one exception.

Word Count: 1,300

Imagine: Dean gives you an impossible choice.

Dean hates this. He hates it more than anything.

He hates the look of you, all soft curves and smiles that brighten your eyes. Your hair looks even softer.

(He wants to tangle his fingers in it, tight, until your voice echoes in his ear.)

He hates that you bake cookies on Saturdays. (He also hates that you're learning how to make pies, just because he mentioned off-handedly that you should try. If your snickerdoodles are this good, he can only imagine what you could do with some cherry filling.)

He hates that you greet him, every morning, without fail, with a hand on his shoulder and asking how he's slept. (Even better if you'd joined me, he thinks.)

And then his mind gets truly creative, imagining all the ways he could make you lose sleep. All the ways his hands and tongue could get creative, tracing the contours of your body.

He hates all of that too.

But what he hates most of all?

That you're Sammy's girl.

Sam's known you longer, since college. The two of you reconnected after the second apocalypse diverted. Or was it the third one? Dean's lost count at this point.

So you're smart. Sam studied Latin, but you studied Greek and Spanish, and even symbology. You consider yourself a linguist -- a fact that had Dean grinning from the moment he met you...

But as many times as he made you blush and smile with his charm and a well-placed joke, it was Sam who hooked you with one of his dimpled smiles and asking you for help on a case.

You'd agreed, for him. The two of you bonded over your nerddom, with heads bowed over ancient texts and shared personal history, and Dean tried not to feel like an outsider.

And yet, even when you fell for his brother. Even when you moved into the bunker, taking up his counter space with your ridiculous baking appliances. Even when you doted and touched and kissed and promised Sam more with your eyes, Dean couldn't shake the feeling that he'd missed his chance.

So Dean backed off. He made excuses not to be around you and Sam when it got too much for him. Had to ignore the way his stomach churned (and maybe his heart clenched too).

...Until his chance comes. He sees it.

He's also a bit drunk.

"Aw, Dean. You okay?" you ask, picking up a large, empty bottle of whiskey by his hand, which still holds a fifth of a glass.

"Oh, I'm good," he replies, raising his brows with a smile. "I'm real good."

You snort with a laugh. He smirks at the sound; he would never admit it, but a small part inside him always swells with warmth when he makes you laugh.

You bring him a glass of water with just a few cubes of ice. You know he doesn't like it packed to the top. "Drink this."

"What's the magic word?" Dean teases, even as you take the glass tumbler out of his hand.

You then sit next to him at the kitchen table and offer him a wry smile, resting your chin in your hand while your elbow rests on the table. "Please, will you hydrate yourself?"

"Already did," Dean remarks.

"Dean," you say, more seriously gesturing to the water. "Please."

He hesitates. But seeing your face, he finally rolls his eyes and dutifully sips at the tall glass of water.

You reach out for his shoulder. His inebriated gaze is drawn to your hand, the smooth skin of your arm, and back to your face that shows soft concern.

"You don't drink like this unless something's on your mind," you say.

Dean falters. When did you get to know him so well?

"What, a man can't drink alone anymore?" he says wryly.

"He can, but he's gonna have to spill his guts sooner or later," you smirk. Dean grimaces at the image. Suddenly the Jameson sloshing around in his gut doesn't feel all that nice. But the longer he looks at you, the worse he feels.

"Trust me, you don't wanna know," he says. He gestures, with the hand that holds his glass, up at his head. "'S not for newcomers."

"Yeah, but I'm not a newcomer, am I?" you quip.

Dean can't help it. He stares at your face. Your damn perfect face. Perfect for him.

His heart clenches with the pain of guilt. With thoughts he shouldn't have. How he'd rather slit his own wrists than hurt his little brother. Not like this, for fuck's sake.

But Dean's got a problem. It's eating him down to the bone.

He wants you. He really wants you. More than he's wanted anything in so long...

"You really wanna know?" Dean asks. His voice is both a rumble and a coarse whisper. His green-eyed gaze falls to your lips.

For your part, you suck in a subtle breath. Your eyes widen, and your body's frozen, suspended in time.

You stare back at Dean's handsome face, overgrown with stubble, like he’s forgotten to shave. And you finally know what he's been hiding for the past few months. Why he sometimes ducks out when it's supposed to be the three of you, hanging out, watching a movie, sharing a pizza, being friends and family all at once.

You sometimes thought Dean had something against you, no matter how many times Sam has said, "That's not it." With one of those pensive looks on his face.

Like he knows something you don't, and just doesn't want to speak it into existence.

But then, Sam would distract you with his hand stroking your cheek. A kiss to your lips, sweet, but with urgency. You like that about Sam. You even love that about him -- how he can be both kind and considerate, but passionate in his affections.

But now, you stare at the eldest Winchester's face. You don't even know what you're thinking.

Dean sees you fidget, and has a feeling that you’re blushing.

He leans in, slowly. He’s mere inches away from finding out how sweet you really are.

He hears your shallow breath. His eyes flick up to yours, briefly capturing you again. You smell whiskey on him, but it doesn't completely drown out his cologne. His Deanness.

You can feel your face heating up further, down to your neck. What the fuck is happening right now?

"Tell me no," Dean says. Tell me to stop, or I swear to God...

"Dean, what..." you whisper. But that's not a no.

Still, he can't. He just can't do it. Not to Sam.

Dean just reaches out with a hand to soothe a gentle thumb across your cheek. He realizes then that he loves you. He loves you enough to let you go, if he has to.

"It comes down to this," Dean says. His voice is deep, full of grit and desire. You can see it in his eyes. He sees the conflict in yours.

He swallows. His heart is pounding against his ribcage, but he uses every ounce of self-restraint he has left, forcing his hand to fall away from your cheek.

"You've got two choices, sweetheart," he says. And he pulls away, leaving you there at the table.

Dean doesn't know it, but your heart is about to burst just like his. What the hell! How could he do that? Why...

But you realize then, holding a hand to your wildly beating, guilt-ridden, confused heart.

You never told him no.

AN: I love Sam, don't get me wrong. But because I'm unequivocally a Dean girl, I had to leave it a bit ambiguous. 😏

Read the Sequel!

Here's the requested sequel to this, in which you have to make a choice (contains both Sam and Dean endings):

Imagine: Choosing him.

[do-u-know-this-autisticcharacter]

If you submit via Tumblr ask, it will be deleted. The only exception are posts submitted through the form that we require more evidence for.

The spreadsheet of submitted characters is here. Please note, the spreadsheet has two pages. One page is for accepted characters and the other is for rejected characters. If a character is rejected, we will explain why in the spreadsheet!

More about us below the cut!

Mod Pixie (she/they): I'm 35 and have been on Tumblr since minimally 2012, so I have Seen Some Things™️.

I love most things nerd and feel like Tumblr is particularly suited to nerddom.

I was diagnosed autistic and ADHD at 33, though I always knew I didn't quite fit in and suspected ADHD for a while. I was always just considered slightly odd, in an Anne of Green Gables way.

Fiction has always been my escape and once Tumblr introduced polls and I found the blogs mentioned, I thought someone should do the same for autistic characters! Full disclosure, it seems someone had the same idea and created a blog, but it never took off.

If you'd like to follow my main blog, please follow @pixiemusing 😄

Mod Sunflower (she/her): Hello there! You can call me Sunflower if you wish. I prefer to remain anonymous on this blog and on @aretheybisexual, but I am the co admin here/there/everywhere. I go by she/her pronouns, 30+, bisexual and am on an NHS waiting list to be diagnosed for autism (2 years and counting). I live in the GMT timezone. Tumblr veteran since 2010 roughly.

Blog mechanics: Feel free to submit ANY character you see as autistic. If you feel the need to clarify whether they are "good" or "bad" rep, feel free in the form! We will accept characters who are "problematic" or from problematic media. We will make sure to tag the media for every character.

I (Mod Pixie) will also sometimes make comment about the submissions well before they are posted. These will be tagged as Pixie Speaks, along with the character and media. The Pixie Speaks tag will also be used for general musings. Just Blog Things will be used for announcements and blog maintenance.

We hope you enjoy and if you have any questions, please DM! Please note that all submissions must be through the Google Form.

For fandoms with more than 2 submissions in a row, the submissions will be broken up with other fandom submissions in between. They may, depending on the number of submissions, be broken up across several days, which may or may not be successive. Polls run for a week.

Thanks again for stopping by!

Just for more awareness:

YOU THERE

ARTIST

Tell me ur oc lore >:3

Yes i stole this meme from twitter

AAAAAAAAAAA wAAA HI AXEL- ah shoot which of these cunts do i pick-

oKAY UM ik i mainly blab about twst related au ocs but im gonna go into my own universe's ocs for a lil <3

(please excuse the art, her ref is old)

This is Koi!!! She is Salem's half sister, and basically my ultimate goofball. She thrives on nerddom- anime, manga, cartoons, books, games, you name it- she probably has spent money on it. Despite being a dork, she's a confident gal. She's not afraid to speak her mind and tell people what she is thinking- including often somewhat flirtatious comments. She's quite the romantic, but what she has in extroversion and socialization skills, she lacks in more practical ones- for example, she has a lot of trouble with holding down a job and taking work seriously, often resulting in her running low on funds and staying with her sister. (never lock in. no grind. she's eepy)

Her canon universe- along with most the rest of my ocs canon universe- is a "forbidden science lab experiments" type universe. butwithrobots- to- very shortly sum it up KJGBSIUGSD. despite this, she's a normal human. just kinda chilling, stuck in a city-wide lock down due to escaped..... "i n mat e s" and totally not illegal human experiments!

lore for you <333 ty for asking and letting me yapksjgfdbsiudbif

I always loved him, and since I'm rewatching Star Trek TOS with @dartlekey I've been slowly descending back into my Spock nerddom.
