is it strange to genuinely not know what people think of you or how they feel about you? most people seem to just know if someone dislikes them so they can move on, or they just know when someone enjoys their company and is their friends. I have no way of knowing without people explicitly telling me, and people are horrible at doing that.
I don't know what my first impression gives. I don't know what vibes I have or what type of energy I have. I can't tell if someone hates me, doesn't care about me, or genuinely likes me. I can't tell what people's opinions on me are, if they think i'm nice, funny, rude, boring. I don't know if i'm bothering or annoying someone. I don't know if i'm upsetting someone or making them uncomfortable. I don't know if they are comfortable around me. I don't know if they enjoy my presence. I don't know if they are being fake nice and fake friends. I can't tell when someone loses interest in me. I cant tell if someone is trying to be a friend or is just being polite. I don't know if i'm easy to get along with, or difficult to be around. I don't know if my presence fills someome with joy or annoyance. to make it worse, each person thinks and feels different things. so i'll never figure out all of them.
if I try to think about what my presence and existence means to other people, i'm met with a massive blank hole. there's nothing there. I could never answer the questions "my friends/family would descove me as ___" because I genuinely don't know. I can only say what I think of me. unless someone explicitly told me with clear words, i'll never know. i'll usually know how I feel about another person at some point, and I try to tell them if I have the chance. but it's never reciprocated. they never tell me. so my presence in other people's lives is always a blank enigma I can't figure out.
any time i've tried talking about this, I just get a response like "stop worrying and caring about what other people think about you/just be yourself that's all that matters"
that's not the advice you think it is. that's more of what you'd say to someone who beats themselves up because they are worried about people disliking them in general and it fills them with anxiety to be disliked. they usually have low self esteem and think their worth lies in other people liking them. that's not the case here. hate me if you want, I don't care. i'd just rather know upfront before investing my time and energy in you.
this type of "caring what others think" is more about human connection, rather than acceptance....I wonder...is one reason I struggle to connect with people because I can't feel the presence of their feelings towards me? all I know is they are aware of my existing. thats it. try being in a group chat and not knowing if any of them actually like you or secretly hate you, not knowing if they are your friends or just being nice, and not knowing anything about how they feel about you, but you enjoy them very much. I try to share inner feelings with them, but theirs don't reach me. so I wonder, do mine even reach them? somewhere between us, the connection fails to reach. perhaps this is one of the problems i'm having with connecting to others.
if you don't know what people think or feel towards you, how can you connect with them? either you make assumptions, like "I think they hate me" and you could be wrong and push away someone that thinks you're friends, or think "i'm sure they enjoyed talking with me" and they later tell you they were just being nice but never wanted to talk to you becuass you're annoying. but assumptions are dangerous because those reasons, so the only other choice is to assign a blank slate to them and wait for them give you words to write on it. but if they don't use their words, they stay blank. you will never know if you are making a connection or it's staying superficial.
it's selfish to only go off your own feelings towards someone. you could really like someone, want to be friends, want to hang out and chat, but if they don't feel the same way, you just cause them problems and inconvenience. you bother them and ruin their time. i've noticed people often won't be direct about that and get even more upset because I missed it. I thought we shared a vibe or similar energy. but I might have mixed up my feelings with their vibes. if I like someone and enjoy them, not knowing how they feel about me can lead to me wasting my time and energy and also annoying that person unknowingly. it's bad for everyone.
if you can't assume the worse or even the best, you have to assume they feel neutral towards you until told otherwise. the problem is, most people go off of subtle hints, but if you can't see those, you get left out. while neither good nor bad, neutral feelings are still that of strangers. if you can't read people's thoughts and feelings on you, but it's rude to ask or people don't tell you the truth, you end up with many neutral people in your life. many strangers.
is this normal? do other people have an idea of what someone feels about them? or do you all "not care" what they think and go off of how you feel about them instead? is everyone making guesses, or do most people actually know without asking? how do you bond and feel connected if you aren't sure if someone enjoys your presence or if they actually loath it? I truly don't know....all I know is, not knowing makes me feel very disconnected from everyone.
I haven't gotten anyone else to talk about this or seen anyone else talk about it. so there's a good chance it's just a me thing. this type of topic usually gets reduced to "stop caring what people think" and goes nowhere beyond that. but!!! I think it's actually important to be able to know what people think or feel about you!!! at least to an extent. not obsessively caring to the point it becomes a mental disorder like social anxiety. but just enough to at least know if you are actually making a connection with them. just enough to know if you are able to reach them....

having an identity crisis after an autism assessment interview
#given the aq test she made me do i would be autistic#but during the interview i apparently appeared to social#but she also said there are some nuances#which is why she wants me to do more tests like masking questionnaire#but i struggle so much with how i mask so lets see#also part of the questionnaire that another person should fill out about me i should do myself lol#and the questionnaire is weird bc its designed as if im still a child#typical autism assessment i guess#anyway the nuances she ment was me speaking monoton and not being able to describe certain emotions#it was also the fastest interview she ever had#so it will take her even longer to interpret it she said#idk man i judt felt a little bit like k failed that interview#and that the interview failed me#like the designed questions just dont consider the good environment im in#like no i dont struggle socially at work and the circles i hang around with#bc half of the people there are neurodivergend themselves#and they are mostly accepting leftists#also we did not even talk about special interests#not really at least#i only saod the word water once#and bc my social circle is accepting i also did not talk about me struggling with small talk with strangers#like idk#i just want this autism thing to apply to me i think bc it would explain so much#i really would not like the implication that lther psychological issues are causing my problems#then again#i do want to go therapy to talk about all the family childhood baggage anyway#autism assessment

Call of duty, ghost, cute meet, fluff
Her tism wins him over
Summary:Out at a bar ghost saves her from falling. She wants to talk with this stranger but flirting isn't her thing. He's had a bad month and she's the highlight he could listen to her go on and on for hours. But her friends interrupt and criticize her making her shut down so it's up to ghost to get her to smile again.
WC:1.9k
Tumblr media
Her pov
Once a month she goes out to a bar with her friends, it's not the best environment for her autism but she does usually manage to have some fun.
While her friends dance she goes to the bar for another drink. She gets shoved by a few people hustling by and loses her balance. She's falling certain she's going to collide with the filthy floor, but the hit doesn't come, only the feeling of a hard bar-like thing pressing against her abdomen.
She opens her eyes and sees it's someone's forearm holding her up, impressive. Still hanging over him she turns and looks up to see her savior and finds a tall, well built man with beautiful chocolate eyes wearing a mask.
She pushes up her glasses and stands up supporting herself. The man simply turns back to the bar and takes a sip of his drink staring off into the void in front of him like what just happened was simply nothing, but for her that was a reality altering moment that sent her heart racing and filled her stomach with butterflies. 
She wishes so badly she knew how to flirt or was any good at small talk cause right now, this man, she wants to make a connection. 
Her friends had given her some pointers and she's watched shows so she pulls from that information. She steps up to the bar into the open space next to the mystery man and orders a drink for herself and one for him. 
This gets his attention, hopefully in a good way but his expression gives nothing away as he looks at the new drink. 
“Thank you for catching me”
He picks up the new drink and gives her a nod of thanks. 
Sending him a drink was her one hope for starting something but that's been shut down so she calls it quits, she's not skilled enough for this and doesn't want to bother him more. 
As she walks away the glint of something catches her eye, she finds its source to be a beautiful knife handle with shining copper inlays, holstered on the man's belt.  This sparks a special interest of hers, making all the self consciousness and social pressure go away. 
Now she approaches with confidence, tapping the man's shoulder, the second his gaze turns to her the words start flowing from her effortlessly. Complementing his knife, talking about the craftsmanship, detailed techniques, her own collection, she goes on and on. 
His pov
The squad goes out for their ritual after mission drinks. Tonight spirits aren't great, lower than usual but they still go.
Ghost takes a seat at the bar, Price settles in a corner to have a cigar, Gaz and Soap flirt looking for a pretty distraction.
Movement in his periphery catches his attention and he acts on instinct when he sees a lil bird start to fall, reaching out his arm and catching her. Seems like she's a bit dazed so he takes that moment to look her over, she's not dressed like the other girls here. No short dress or skin tight outfit, she's dressed sensibly, comfortably, jeans and a t-shirt. She doesn't need a short skirt or too tight leggings to show off, the jeans hug her ass beautifully, shirt tied on the sides defining her waist ever so slightly, he finds this look much more appealing than any party dress. 
She gets even cuter when she faces him, how She adjusts her glasses and brushes her bangs back into place. He was right to say she got dazed by the look written on her face. He has to turn away, can't just keep staring at her shamelessly, he's not right for a sweet Lil bird like her, he's too damaged and in a dark place tonight.
He hopes she'll just walk away for her own sake even though it's the opposite of what he truly wants. But no, she goes to stand right next to him, close enough he can smell her scent, it's such a harsh contrast to the smokey sharp smell of the bar. He doesn't know if it's her perfume or hair but she smells like peppermint, honey, rose, and something he can't name but is so alluring. 
“ Thank you for catching me”
He was so caught up in the scent of her he didn't hear her order him a drink until the glass was slid in front of him. This catches him off guard, what's he's supposed to say ‘ oh i didn't mean to do that it was just instincts from my training’. No, that's probably not the right response, if only Soap or Gaz  was here they would whisper to him what to tell her. Now it's been too long since she's spoken. He needs to act so he just gives her a nod of thanks and turns away in embarrassment while he internally berates himself. 
He feels a touch on his arm and is amazed to see it's her again, he expected one of the guys, but now it's her the Lil angle who keeps coming back no matter how many times he looks away. 
He didn't have any expectations but what she said still surprised him. Is this really happening? She likes his knives, she knows a lot about them, so much detail, she has her own collection, oh she really is an angel. He happily listens to every word she says, fully under her spell as she info dumps. Everything fades away, the bar scene replaced by just her, the sharp smokey scent replaced by hers, the music replaced by her voice, the darkness of his last mission being cleared away with every passing minute in her presence.
Her pov
“Y/N there you are, what are you doing”
“ are you info dumping rn, girl that's not one of the flirting tips”
Their words snap her out of her special interest hype instantly and she becomes very self-conscious and shuts down a bit, feeling bad that she just info dumped to a stranger who she probably bothered a lot. 
She turns back to the man but can't meet his chocolate gaze again. Hands intertwined picking at her fingers, eyes down, shoulders slumped she apologies to the man.
“Sorry”
She goes to walk away following after her friends feeling dejected, like she's made a fool of herself again cause she just can't fit in and interact with others freely.
They all sit at a booth and chatter continues, they try to tell her it's okay, it happens but the words bounce off.
His pov
Who the hell are they? She's with them, why on earth did they stop her and ridicule her like that, I didn't want her to stop, that was one of the best conversations I've had in weeks and I didn't have to say a word. 
He sips the drink she bought him and tries to calm down. He regroups with the guys at Price's booth, apparently he didn't cool down enough and they ask what's bothering him. He tells them all about her and what happened, well he left out how he started at her ass.  Soap refuses to let that be the end of their story and drags Ghost out of the booth  and around the bar until they find her.
Gaz followed along giving Ghost tips and lines to say, nothing to flirt, only things he thought Ghost could pull off. They shove him towards her booth and watch hoping he can pull this off.
The pep talk did help, boosted his confidence, he's now a man on a mission and he never fails a mission. He walks right up to her and holds out his hand.
She looks up at him, still a bit of that dejected look showing but mostly shock. Her friend gives her a nudge which seems to bring her back to reality. 
“ I.. I can't dance”
“ Neither can I”
He has no intention of dancing with her, he just needs to get her alone again, away from the ones that made her shut down. 
Her small hand slips into his and he closes around it and pulls her up, moves her in front of him and walks her out of the bar, he'd like to have a quiet moment with her. 
She visibly looks calmed once out of the bar, a bit of that sparkle returning to her eyes, her posture straightening, and that energy that drew him In returning. Good.
Her pov
He came back, he came and found me, maybe, maybe I wasn't bothering him, could that be possible. Something seems different about him, less soft and lonely, more confident and determined.
Oh, does he want to dance, I really can't dance, if I had any chance dancing would ruin it completely. 
“ I..I can't dance”
“ Neither can I”
No dancing Thank god, but then what does he want, oh does that even matter. This is a chance, and unknown I want to take, I need to take. Here goes possibly everything. Yup this man is confident and those calluses he must be really good with that knife, must use it a lot, I wonder what he does. 
Where is he leading us, oh we're going outside, that's good, the music I can't take much more, gotta call it a night real soon.
 A deep breath of the fresh chilly night air clears away a lot of her tension, she needed this badly. She looks up at him again and waits, wondering why he came back, why bring her outside. 
His hand never left her and now he uses their hold to pull her in, closing the distance between them, she can feel the heat radiating from him and instinctively nuzzles against his chest. He wraps his arms around her in a hug as they stand there on the sidewalk while the world passes around them.
“ I liked what you said before, I could listen to you talk for hours… that was the highlight of my month” 
His pov
 “ I liked what you said before, I could listen to you talk for hours… that was the highlight of my month” 
“ really”
The way her voice cracks, the desperation in her tone tells him just how big an impact this has on her, how deeply tonight has affected her.  He needs to show her, convince her.
So he picks her up, making them eye level, enjoying the way she wraps her leg around him. 
“ Honestly, yes, tell me more about your knife collection or any of your other interests, there's no other way I'd like to spend my time. A cup of tea and listening to you”
It all happens so quick, he barely registers it, but it did happen, she grabbed his face and kissed him right in his mask. It was quick but not chaste, there was a hunger there, passion. Now her cheeks are quickly turning red and her pupils blown, this can't be the only time he sees this, no he need her in his life. 
….
“ So how did it go?”
“ we have a date next weekend”
Soap and Glaze erupt in cheers and Price gives him a pat on the back, his version of an atta boy.

malleus/leona/azul with a fem student who has adhd and autism. yet crowley does nothing about it despite being explained over again saying 'you're just not trying hard enough, etc"
(Oh hey, it’s my two biggest brain problems lmao. As hot as I find Crowley (yes he’s a hear me out), just once, I would love to hit him over the head with every broken object in Ramshackle. Just whack him WWE style. I’d probably convince Grim, Ace and Deuce to join in. ANYWAYS—)
(this was actually a bit hard for my AuADHD, explaining ADHD and Autism itself is quite difficult for me without references lol that and I'm horrible with finding the right words)
That’s Not How That Works
Characters: Malleus, Leona, and Azul
Genre: Fluff, Comfort, Platonic/Romantic
Summary: No, Crowley, you cannot “just get over it”. Yes, you are trying your hardest. Oh, and your friend wants to “have a word” with you in your office.
(Malleus covers both p equally, while Leona leans more to ADHD, and Azul more to Autism!)
~~~~~~
Malleus
He didn’t get it at first. I doubt ANY of the cast would know what the proper terms for your mental conditions meant. But once you sit down with him, trying to find the right words to explain in a way he would understand, he catches on quickly.
For the ADHD side, once you explain what dopamine is, and how your brain doesn't register or create enough of it, he understands why you find difficulty in completing long term tasks, and why you wait until the last minute.
He catches on quite quicker when you explain Autism. While obviously its more than just a hyperfixation, but all you really have to start with is "kinda like how you obsess over gargoyles" for his eyes to widen in mutual understanding.
You hear a storm rolling in the distance when you go on to explain how Crowley wouldn't listen, and kept pushing you to do things that would surely lead to a massive burnout.
"I'll take care of it." He speaks those words so calmly, you almost fear for Crowley's life. But when Malleus speaks again, his tone now matches the bright smile on his face. "You said autistic people bond through... what was that term again? Infodumping??? Right, why don't you share your most recent interests with me, I can carve a new gargoyle in the while I listen."
Leona
Was already pissed off with Crowley's general treatment towards you. Suddenly has the urge to de-feather a bird when you get into the topic.
It comes up when he stops by to visit, watching you try to clean up around your dusty dorm. You had suddenly stopped in the middle of what you were doing, looking between the cups on the table, to the dishes in the sink, and then the mess on the counters and-
He asks you what was up, and without thinking you explain.
"Well, I want to clean the cups off the table, but the sink is full. I can't clean the sink out because the counter's messy and the dishwasher doesn't work, but I can't clean the counter cause the trash needs taken out and we're low on trash bags and-"
He stops you before your tongue flies out of you mouth, gently soothing you before you could work yourself frantic.
So, while he's helping find a solution to the seemingly endless cycle of tasks, you explain the difficulties you have with your ADHD and Autism in this world. You explain all the little tricks you had set up at home, how each one helped a task become more manageable, and how hard it was to get them set up and built into your routine.
While he doesn't personally experience your struggle, he can only imagine how hard you're having it. He looks out for your signs of stress now, stepping in to help fix or assist with things, maybe even wordlessly pass you a bracelet of his to fidget with.
Azul
Honestly, I would NOT be surprised if he has had his fair share of experience with ADHD and Autism. Not personally, but through the twins.
Floyd is, well, a walking bomb ready to explode. That eel can almost never sit still, seemingly unaware of personal boundaries and able to switch moods at the drop of a hat.
Jade is more subtle, oftentimes so quiet most don't realize he's there until he speaks. But if he's in a mood or someone asks about mushrooms, it's nearly impossible getting him to shut up.
So, it's safe to say Azul recognized those things when getting to know you. What he wasn't expecting, was the way you seemingly recoil in pain when you encounter an odd texture.
That wasn't the only thing either. You struggled with discerning lefts from rights, which made for some funny interactions between the twins. You struggled with remember to care for yourself when you fell too deep into a hobby or task, seemingly not feeling the signals for, say hunger, until someone else brings it up.
Finally, he had to ask you about it.
You do your best to explain it to him, but once you do, he lets out a soft, understanding "Ohhh..."
You run off on a tangent then, frowning as you start to talk about Crowley and the fact he refused to even try to understand. It was nice having a routine to follow, sure, but not when there's so much being thrown at you on top of the lack of support.
Azul's blood boils, and he almost whips out his phone to contact the twins for... information.
He offers to write up a contract for you then and there, detailing you receive better treatment from Crowley, giving you some ease of mind and body against all the overwhelming sensations you deal with on the daily.
He'll even let you admire his coin collection while he writes it.

Hi hi again ! I just wanna say I ABSOLUTELY ADORE the chubby reader x Larry n' Sal hdcns you wrote !! It's very nice and comforting, and really made my night - I can't stop re-reading them :') . THANK YOUUU 👹🖤‼️
Anyway, I was wondering if you could do something similar to the chubby reader hdcns, but with an ADHD!reader ? Just some Larry n' Sal with an adhd having gf hdcns ! Pls & ty, ilyyy <3
(also, if you're not comfortable with writing these, or don't know abt the symptoms of adhd [with depression & anxiety symptoms, bc it's a big struggle for me personally lol], no pressure abt writing these hdcns !! Remember to eat and stay hydrated <333 !!!)
Tumblr media
Heyyy I actually loved writing this as I've struggled for years with depression as well and me and my family have been unsure if it's Adhd or autism since I was a kid lmao So here is
Larry,sal x Adhd!Girlfriend!Reader (separate)
Tumblr media
Sal:
Sal is really good with you
He's a really calming person to be around, so if you're really struggling that day, he's got you
If you're too hyperfocused and forget to take care of yourself, he will find a way to pull you away without bothering you. Even if it's just for a bit so you can eat or something
But if you have trouble focusing? Well, sals next to you and talking you through whatever you're trying to to.
He will even help you.
One day, you started frantically cleaning your room. Pulling stuff from the drawers pulling the stuff out from under your bed. Unloading your desk.
But then once you saw the amount of stuff, you kinda froze up. not sure where to even start.
You were honestly so overwhelmed you almost had a breakdown, but then sal walked into your guys' room, looking confused as shit asking you what's going on.
He waited patiently as you explained, and then he sat on the ground with you and started helping you organize everything,talking you through the process the entire time to keep you from getting more overwhelmed.
He's a damn angel
And once you guys got done and the room was back in order, you guys put on a movie and just passed out
If it's a day where you can't seem to sit still. He won't try to stop you.
Naw, he's saying ok come on, let's go to the apartments and run around checking on the ghost.
He doesn't try to hold you in place or stop you he tries to encourage you to do what you need to in a healthy way.
Also, if losing or misplacing things is a struggle for you, that's fine, don't worry.
Cause either he knows where it is or he's looking for it with you. And sometimes, when he sees something in an odd place, he will just grab it and put it where it should be.
And then when you need it, you don't have to go on a scavenger hunt.
On days where you can't seem to drag yourself outta bed or you're just not doing good with racing thoughts
He's with you. If you both have class that day, he will coax you out of bed,
and while you guys are driving there you guys will talk about it, and if you can't put it into words, he will just tell you stuff to get your mind off it
If you don't have class, he will lay with you, and you guys will just put on a show and chat, which makes you feel a bit better
He's like your other half at this point, and it's nice to have some calm when things get crazy
Overall, you both have a pretty good system, and if he's having issues, you help him out too, so it's a pretty win-win you
guys are great together
Larry:
Well, now Larry, I think, has a bit of it to but a little different. He's more on the hyper focus end.
He will get to painting or playing a game, and he's not moving from that spot until it's done, and if you are also hyper focused at the same time it can start off good but then can get a bit unhealthy
It's whoever comes out of it first that will snap the other out of it
But if you're having trouble focusing, he will do his best to help, but let's be honest, you both will probably end up distracted
One day, you were trying to work on a project for one of your classes and you were stuck because you had so much to do and didn't know where to start.
So you tried to put on some music. We'll that didn't work too well because now you're sitting there watching MTV music videos.
By the time Larry got back, you were spaced out at the screen with your project forgotten sitting next to you.
He asked you what it was, and when you told him, he asked if it was done and you ended up explaining that you got stuck.
Well, he sits down with you and takes a look at it and also kinda blanks. Then you guys started talking, and the conversation ventured off, and yall ended up rushing it the night before.
At least he tried lmao.
Now, if it's a hyper day for you guys and you're running around trying to do a bunch of stuff, he will probably roll a joint and give it to you like.
Smoke this.
After you do, it can have one of two reactions
1 you actually slow down and are able to chill for a bit, or 2 it just makes you wanna go on an adventure.
If it's the second you guys end up in a gas station getting snacks and then heading over to sals to bother him and his girl it's cool they don't mind lol.
Now, when it comes to misplaced objects it really fucks with larry. Like I said in my general Larry HCs, he's messy but in an organized way.
So if he's digging around trying to find a certain paintbrush and he ends up finding it in the living room instead of in his art area he it really fucks with him.
But he's not mad he's just more confused and like what the fuck I didn't put that there.
And if he asks you and you don't remember, then you guys jokingly blame the ghosts. You both know it probably wasn't them but it's a Lil inside joke.
Now, for days, you can't get up, he stays with you. He's either in the same boat or he just feels bad and understands. Sometimes, he will lay with you, and you both might smoke and talk to each other. Or he will put on a show or music and paint while you do you.
It's just nice to know he's there and that he cares.
Overall, you guys got a lot going on, but you guys manage it as well as you can and what's important is that you do it together 🖤

anyways as i mentioned earlier here is my absolutely nuts 'analysis' of Boboiboy having autism, and how each of the seven elementals kinda showcase a heightened version of an autism symptom-
so we're gonna go down in order (of manifestation for the elements)-
Boboiboy himself- he's just got the vibe, y'know? But also; it's been established he had no friends prior to moving in with his grandfather, which, y'know, is quite strange for a "normal" kid his age. He also tends to look at the people around him to know how to react in certain social situations (usually the person he looks to is Gopal which. Isn't always the best choice). Also the strong sense of justice is obvious (including that he goes so far as to help villains as well). (Yes this can be an autism symptom).
Halilintar (Thunderstorm). hear me out. Halilintar manifested due to overstimulation. I mean obviously the phobia of balloons is a huge factor here- but being in distress due to loud sounds is exactly one of the things that causes overstimulation for autistic people (could contribute to why he has this fear in the first place). One of the ways people might react to overstimulation is by becoming irrationally angry. Basically what I'm saying is that Halilintar spends most of his time on the edge of a meltdown-
Taufan (Cyclone). autistic joy. listen LISTEN. it's DIFFERENT from other people's joy, okay? a lot of autistic people experience emotions very intensely, it can full out take over you. also as far as i remember (it's been a while) he was the only one who had such an intense reaction to the mood changing potion- sure, the other people who had it were locked in one emotion, but none of them went as wild as he did- because he felt it a lot more intensely.
Gempa (Earthquake). i will admit, i struggled for a moment with Gempa- but honestly i think it's because he is, in my opinion, the one who's the most similar to OG Boboiboy. other than the heightened need to protect, which likely includes the sense of justice, I think Gempa is the one who masks the most out of all the elements. This is also why he seems to be the most neutral element.
Blaze and Ice. I'm doing these two together, because technically, their origin points are from the same thing: Burnout. It's just two very different responses to it. On the one side, Blaze is trying to, ironically enough considering the name, prevent burnout, by relieving stress (by doing things in the middle of night while no-one is looking and there's no pressure of social interaction). When there is too much stress, he falls into an overstimulated state similar to Halilintar's. On the other side, Ice represents the more depressed side of burnout- aka what happens after you actually burn out. It's why he's tired all the time.
Duri (Thorn). Okay so technically Thorn first manifested in battle but we're ignoring that. His tier 1 manifestation, as we all know, was mainly most definitely because Boboiboy got a concussion- but! Here's the thing; I don't think the concussion is why Thorn acts the way he does (though it's probably a part of it). I think, Thorn is just unmasked. The others all mask on some level, but Thorn just, doesn't. He doesn't really care how others might perceive him if he does 'childish' things or says things that no-one else understands because they didn't make the same connections he did, and he certainly doesn't care that deadpan telling someone their outfit is terrible might hurt their feelings, it doesn't even occur to him. He doesn't mask at all.
Solar. Again, technically manifested during battle. However once again we are ignoring that. It was established that the manifest condition for Solar (as Light), was for the elemental master (Boboiboy) to "expand their knowledge", and "read more". And, well, I know Boboiboy specifically read a bunch of science and history books and stuff, but honestly I don't think it really would've mattered what he chose to use to expand his knowledge, because Solar's main autistic trait is special interest. Because Boboiboy mainly focused on science and stuff, that became Solar's special interest, hence why he rambles off about formulas and stuff, and why he likes doing experiments. He hyperfixates on that stuff.
now. i could do the fusions... but honestly i haven't thought about the fusions enough to draw conclusions, so we're sticking with this

Hey to my fellow Neurodivergent peeps, do you guys ever get weird comments from people once they find out about your diagnosis?? Like I've personally been told things like 'i would have never guessed', 'you don't seem (autistic/ADHD)', or the weirdest one yet, 'where? In your left pinky toe?'
Like I'm sure they (typically older folks) mean it as a compliment or something, but I just find it so strange. Imagine if someone had hearing or nerve issues and were told that. 'omg you have fibromyalgia? You don't seem the type!'
You get what I mean? Like oh sorry I'm not what you perceive as Neurodivergent but it has completely effected the way I live and myself at it's core. Do they want me to rant about my special interest and miss obvious social ques, cause guess what I already do that! Or how about I disassociate or have to overstimulate myself with music, YouTube and the task I need to do for me to actually get things done? Again I do that too.
I mean it's done with other aspects of mainly mental health as well, as someone with a diagnosis cocktail I get it all the time, but it's never as prominent as learning I have autism (sometimes ADHD but mainly tism) as tho I'm supposed to feel ashamed and they need to comfort me. Like I need to be told 'dont worry we see you as a normal person and not like a freak!'
I understand but also don't. I get that mental health is taboo for the most part and such, but why is finding out someone has it seen as a need to comfort. I'm who I am whether or not you knew I have said issues. My diagnosis aren't who I am, sure they shape me into who I've become and will continue to do so, but I'm still a person at the end of the day. I'm not ashamed of me or my issues, because I can't change most of them nor is it my fault for having them.
I also find the idea of people only 'seeing' Neurodivergent as such if they fit into stereotypes such as nonverbal or disruptive or typically negative associated descriptors as heavily damaging and quite frankly gross. To clarify I am not saying the people who are nonverbal or disruptive or anything else are gross, just the belief that they are the only people who could be categorized as nd.
I didn't mean for this to turn into a rant but it's something I feel deeply about and is continuously something I deal with in my real life.
TLDR: Neurodivergent people don't have to fit into your perception for them to be such. Also please don't make weird comments about it as though they need comfort.

So I was attempting to write an animorphs fic despite not having read them in years and my brain came across a question
How do neurodivergence and morphing mix?
I am autistic, and i know a fair amount of fans head canon some of the characters as neurodivergent in some way (I’ve seen ADHD Marco, autistic Ax and Tobias, etc.). And I was trying to conceptualize what morphing might be like when you already experience the world differently from the majority.
The animal senses! Autism usually comes with either heightened or decreased senses already, does that come into play?
I remember a lot of “the x animal’s brain” like “Tobias could switch between the hawk and the boy”. I kind of already think of me and my brain as separate entities sometimes so that would be a trip (as in, “my brain isn’t working properly today”).
Also inner monologues/echolalia— I constantly have something running in my head, would I have to concentrate to not have that go to thought-speak?
Idk obviously there’s no hard answer or anything (sorry that was a lot of questions at once) the thought just came to me and I’d like to see what you and others think!
I'll float this one to Autistic fandalites!
Would dramatic sensory changes in morphs be harder to handle if you have to put up with sensory bombardment all the time, because your brain is hypersensitized to that bullshit and used to it causing pain? Or would those changes be easier to handle, because you've got more existing coping mechanisms than the neurotypicals for when your senses do bombard you?
There are some mentions of characters stimming while in morph — Marco compulsively preening in #35, Ax and his speech thing in most books — so maybe Autism would get you on board with the self-soothing behaviors faster? But then again, if your brain already hates excessive noise and then you get a dog's level of excessive noise? It's a toss-up.

Mammon x autistic reader perhaps? 🥺
Mammon x Autistic Reader Headcanons a/n: autism is a spectrum and everyone is different, so i just based these off my own experiences and tried to keep things vague. but i love mammon and this was a great ask
Tumblr media
♡ Mammon is an old, old man . . . He's been around for ages and while he stays on top of things to keep his products relevant, its likely he hasn't delved too deep into new research surrounding disorders. ↳ That said -- you probably have to be as patient with him as he has to be with you and be prepared to explain things several times to him. ♡ If you're super particular about something, there's no doubt that he's able to make sure everything is up to your standards. ↳ Imagine they changed the recipe to one of your favourite store-bought foods and while no one else can really taste the difference, you sure can, and it's effectively ruined your whole month. Boom. Mammon's got that company sitting in the palm of his hand and he's made them change it back to how it once was.
↳ If you prefer a certain texture/fabric for your bedsheets or clothing, he's making sure everything in your house is made out of it. Only if you please. His idea of love is making all your wants a reality. ♡ It's easily to be overstimulated in a circus.
↳ The first time you attended one of his shows, the crowds alone were overwhelming - but then the sickly sweet smells of stall food hit you, followed by the sound of repetitive horns honking and bells jingling. The popcorn was overly greasy for some reason, making your hands feel unpleasant and impossible to use. ↳ When you shut down, Mammon didn't understand what was going on. He was a little pissed at first, thinking you were causing a scene but upon seeing your face, he quickly teleported you to somewhere more quiet.
↳ It took some explaining, but he understood soon enough. He still wants you to come to the shows he hosts - even if you're both just in the audience - but he ensures you're comfortable first. Noise-cancelling headphones? Check. And you get there early to avoid the crowds and can stay well above them when you cuddle with him up on his spiderweb as you watch the show. ♡ Mammon is undoubtedly an enabler.
↳ If you have an interest that calls to you to buy merchandise or paraphernalia that relate to it, he's encouraging you to buy it! Hell, give him some sugar and he'll buy it for you himself!
↳ Greed is king and he's the king of Greed, baby! If you want to make an unreasonable purchase, he sure as hell will let you.
↳ "Go on, ya know ya want it. What's a couple a' fifties if it makes ya happy!" And you complain you don't have the cash to spare. "Yeah, alright, alright. Then how about you give me a kiss, and we can see if Mamz can get it for ya?" And he's got the widest grin ever.
♡ Surprisngly, he's a decent listener . . . ?
↳ You want to ramble away about something, you can. It was originally annoying to him that he wasn't the one controlling the conversation but when he saw how happy you were when he shut up and listen once, he learnt that sometimes being quiet wasn't so bad. You're cute when you ramble.
↳ "Eh wait, so run it by me again, doll. What's this thing all about?" And he already knows, but he wants to hear you say it again with the same passion.
♡ Misunderstandings can happen.
↳ If you're unable to read tone all too well over text, then you at least have the comfort of knowing that Mammon doesn't hide his emotions - even through messages. He tacks on lots of smileys and emojis so it helps a lot for indicating his tone. You find it cute that his emoticons have eight eyes sometimes. ::::)
↳ But there's still times when you misunderstand something he says or even vice versa, and you both have to scramble to make some sort of amends. He isn't too good at accepting blame but does his part to not push it on to you either.
↳ Another thing you like is that he's pretty straightforward and doesn't beat around the bush, so there are no guessing games. If you're the same, then he thinks it's great! Maybe even hilarious if you have the balls to be upfront with a Sin. Maybe that's what made him interested in you.
♡ If anyone gives you shit, they're dead. No question.
♡ But otherwise, nothing changes! Once you tell Mammon all your boundaries and preferences, he's incorporating them into your now shared lifestyle and dates - anything to keep his fav around!
But he isn't babying you or treating you any different from anyone else. The special treatment you do get is because he loves ya and loves spoiling his doll rotten!

Giving the x-men disabilities so they can suffer like me
I just think it’s cool how much people can relate to the x-men in marginalized groups no matter the group. Just like how they’re all gay, POC, religious minorities, etc.
Cyclops- Scott Summers
C’mon this is the most autistic man to ever autism
He’s got model plane sets and shit around his otherwise empty and perfectly cleaned room with the sheet corners tucked in and everything
He stopped stimming because of O’Diamonds and Sinisters abuse but started again when he got more comfortable with the o5 team. He definitely does flappy hands
He probably hyper fixated on an obscure engineering subject
photophobia- light sensitivity
Idk if it’s cannon or not but it would make sense with his brain damage and all (plus I have it and I’m projecting) it’s also an autism symptom so double whammy- his glasses will help
Migrainous stroke- basically stroke with migraines. It ties into brain damage and photophobia with migraines which would make so much sense. Frequent strokes too? Fuck yeah let’s highlight how his childhood trauma and overwhelming power effect him- how mutant powers aren’t always good.
He should have really shitty vision- canonically colorblind- wears glasses all the time so low light, his eyes basically fucking glow. This man cannot see for shit
“cut the red wire cyclops!” “They’re all red!”
Storm- Ororo Monroe
She’s canonically claustrophobic but it’s really only used as a once in awhile plot device
I think it should tie into anxiety a lot more
Ororo is the kind of person who uses a planner to manage every aspect of her day so she’s never caught of guard
She’s got only one timer set up to take her meds instead of 10 like the rest of us (she’s simply better)
She would have actual panic attacks that don’t end the second she’s out of a confined space. Full run-
For her a panic attack would cause a lot of derealization. She doesn’t feel like she’s in her body, she feels out of control, like she can’t breathe, dizzy, both hot and cold at the same time.
Nightcrawler-Kurt Wagner
syndactyly- fusion of fingers or toes. This is basically cannon. He’s got 2 big fingers and toes so like no explanation really needed. He’s got it even if it’s for different reasons.
This greatly effects his ability to do certain things- our boy can’t use a controller can he? How’s he meant to play Mario cart with the rest of the team ):
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome- bendy bones and stretchy skin that causes lots of joint pain
He canonical has bendy bones so like this is also half canon. Plus I’m giving my blorbo chronic pain to project.
Pretty sure there’s a Spider-Man with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome too so that’s very slay.
Rouge- Anne-Marie
Hear me out- HPV It’s the whole- “I can’t touch anyone” thing
She was born with it
It causes a lot of pain for her but she hides it around people she’s not comfortable with (so really just unmasking in front of remy and her family)
Also stds just need to be a lot more normalized. And her having to be so weird about people with it fits so much with the whole “ew mutants” thing
Xavier
Yeah yeah he’s a paraplegic
They should be better about it though. No more of this curing him so often he’s like the one famous character wheelchair bound people get
Stop making him so weak, he runs a school to learn how to kick ass, man can probably box, who needs legs. They always just make him useless once someone kicks over his chair or something
Chronic migraines again
Listen hearing all those thoughts all the time can’t be all sunshine’s and rainbows. Make him suffer (this goes for all telepaths)
Gambit- Remy Lebeau
He canonically has brain damage (via lebeatomy) (haha get it)
He’s getting hit with migraines too. Making all these losers suffer
He probably also has very bad vision because of his eyes- probably not very good with light just like cyclops (likely worse)
I’m going to give him the worlds worst period cramps via dysmenorrhea. Yeah he’s trans to me I’m a romy t4t Reuther
Rapid fire listings let’s go!
Jubilee canonically has Dyscalculia- like dyslexia for numbers
Wolverine canonically has memory issues and ptsd
Magneto canonically has ptsd
Legion canonically has multiple personality disorder or DID- dissociative identity disorder. It’s not always portrayed the best but rep is rep
Angel canonically has hollow bones- I’m gonna gc him with osteoporosis
Headcanoning Madelyn Pryor with post partum depression
Scarlet witch gets head cannoned half of all the mental disorders- depression, psychosis, ptsd, and anything you wanna give her. Girl needs a staff of therapists, psychologists, and a cocktail of pills
Quicksilver gets headcannoned with ADHD. Boring I know but I’ve got it and it fits him so projection time
Let marrow have ptsd. Girl witnessed a genocide of her people and her moms death as a child. Why do they skim over that? Girl is suffering
Pyro canonically had the legacy virus which was like a big euphemism for AIDs so he gets that. Plus he also gets hit with the autism beam
Toad is autistic. No further questions
Jean grey gets the psychic migraines but I’m also giving her autism cause her relationship with Scott is nowhere near neurotypical. The biggest disability marvel gave her was liking wolverine though. He canonically smells like shit and is an asshole. I love him.
Kitty pryde gets type 1 diabetes- I cannot explain why it fits her it just does
Cable gets lupus cause he canonically had a fantasy space tech autoimmune disease so let’s just make it more realistic
Daken gets lactose intolerance (he’s fine because he doesn’t really actually eat dairy)
Iceman gets lactose intolerance (he’s not fine because he loves all things dairy)
Dust gets celiac disease

-Jay Merrick Headcanons-
Bro has a CHRONIC anxiety disorder, it can be so debilitating that he can’t get out of bed, loses everything in his system, or just stands there like- shaking and dissociating.
He’s taken tons of different medications for it, but those become basically obsolete once the events of Marble Hornets happens.
Then it gets even worse! Yippee!
Was friends with Alex first before anyone else in the Marble Hornets group, they met when Jay was an emo thirteen year old and Alex was a scene fourteen year old.
The two were really good and close friends before MH went down, Alex losing his mind due to the operator in the early stages is what initially made Jay distance himself.
Jay has a really, really bad coffee addiction. It doesn’t help his anxiety. No. He doesn’t care.
Insomniac to hell and back, man does not sleep a wink until his body physically forces him to crash for fifteen hours straight.
I can see him really liking the color orange, calls it an “unappreciated color.”
Undiagnosed autism, but he never got a chance to get tested. (Or enough money, that stuff expensive)
Worked at a comic book store before MH happened, which he actually thrived at.
Knows Skully exists. Chooses to ignore that part of himself unlike the others.
While Brian and hoodie are basically intertwined and Tim has a neutral outlook when it comes to Masky, Jay HATES Skully.
That isn’t him! At all! Skully is rude, obnoxious, steals things, loves getting reactions out of people! That’s not him!
Is it?
He doesn’t want to know.
Tim and Jay are very close, having this strange trauma bond due to the operator targeting them 99% of the time.
Jay talks nonstop and Tim listens, a very sweet and Classic dynamic.
Scrawny and skinny, bro could be brushed away by the slightest gust of wind.
It’s mainly due to malnourishment caused by his anxiety, but also the lack of money he and Tim had during MH to buy filling (and protein having) meals.
Dude has had that same jacket and hat for five years and you just know he barely washes either. The only reason they don’t absolutely STANK is because he’s a fairly clean person.
Talks about rats a lot, like all the different breeds, nesting habits, pet store vs wild, rats may be his special interest.
Dungeons and Dragons fan! Loves being the DM, but will play a Dragonborn bard if not.
Alex and Jay have ran many campaigns with different groups of people, even had a small campaign in college with the local DND club.
Jay had asthma as a kid and keeps his inhaler on him in case he suddenly gets an asthma attack again or something.
Meanwhile that shit expired six years ago.
Has a journal full of information he and Tim have found out about the operator/Skully/Masky/Hoodie.
He and Brian are very awkward. Jay had always admired him during filming, but now that Brian is also half Hoodie, he doesn’t see him as the same person anymore.
Will talk your ear off about anything and everything that slightly interests him.
Has a switchblade in his shoe he got from his dad.
Has three older brothers and four younger sisters.
He doesn’t talk to any of them, or any of his family for that matter.
Used to own a pair of heelies.
The wheels broke and he got sent flying, never used them again.
Has the operator mark (the circle with an x through it) on the back of his calf on his left leg. He doesn’t know it’s there.
Draws and writes on himself to remember things.
Knows how to play basic songs on the piano.
Also trumpet for some reason?? (Middle school band class)
If he was a song, I think he’d be “Spring and a Storm” by Tally hall.
Idk why, just strikes a cord with me that it’s Jay.
Also yes, he is a trans man 100%, been on T for three years.
That’s it for now! <3

The Office lgbtq+ hcs (also posted on twitter but formatting will be different here lol)
Tumblr media
Michael Scott
Tumblr media
- cis, I don't think I could see him as anything else I fear
- he/him, but if he was asked he'd be very confused and would just be like "pronouns [pronounce] what?"
- bi, he never officially labels himself as that but we know damn well it's practically canon
- he is peak autism and I love him for it
- Ryan was bi awakening for obvious reasons
- I think he's kissed dwight before but refuses to talk about it
- Definitely had a crush on david at some point
- I don't know if he necessarily had a crush on Todd but he influences a huge part of who michael is he definitely likes him as more than a friend (not that michael will ever admit that)
- I was talking with a friend about if Dwight/Ryan were dating and just the dynamic of that and how michael would react
"You two shouldn't be together!!" He goes on this whole rant and tries to rally the office to his cause (which they don't) and he gets like so close to figuring out that he likes Ryan before he just let's it go
Not really relevant to headcanons just wanted to air that out lol
Jim Halpert
Tumblr media
LOOK HOW PRETTY HE IS THERE
Anyway
- cis, honestly my gender hc for him switches a lot sometimes he's transmasc sometimes he's just cis whatever I feel fits in the moment tbh
- he/they, if someone asked him for his pronouns he'd probably only say he/him but I don't think he'd mind they/them too but again this changes for me too
- bi, in my brain it works
Also someone on twitter made a really strong case and they were talking about how ooc the thing Jim was keeping from Pam could've been him coming out as bi which I think would be a really cute concept
- I think Kelly helped him figure out he was bi as they are besties (I will make them besties trust)
- he has some freaky frenemies with benefits thing going on with dwight (with the consent of Pam ofc)
With that I'd say he's also ambiamorous he doesn't label himself as that but that's how I'd describe it
- he kissed ryan at a christmas party once
Kevin Malone
Tumblr media
- cis, honestly can be pretty flexible with this I think it's fun to play around with transfem Kevin but not that realistic in canon
- I don't think he'd care much for pronouns but I personally really like he/she Kevin I think someone would accidentally use she/her and on him and she'd just go to Oscar like "wait you can use she/her without being a girl??" And that is his gender awakening basically
Oh also I think Kelly introduces to him to neos and he ends up liking cloud/clouds
- straight I don't know I can't see him liking men
- maybe has adhd??
- Angela and Oscar are the first people he goes to for everything (they ARE found family)
Ryan Howard
Tumblr media
- you could hc him as any gender and I'd say yes but I'll just say transmasc, though I usually like genderfluid and nonbinary to describe him as well
- he/they/xe, kelly introduced him to neopronouns obviously my chronically online queer queen
- gay??? ace too?? Idrk he's super in the closet though
- he has kissed michael before and freaked out bc he didn't hate it
- Definitely had something romantic with Gabe
Pam Beesly-Halpert
Tumblr media
- cis, though I'm not super solid on this though
- she/they, I think she'd make an extra effort as office administrator to make people wear pronoun pins and/or pronouns on their nametags so that they could be normalized in the workplace. Also in general I think she realizes there are a good amount of people who don't just use she/her and he/him so she wanted to be more inclusive. She is the hugest ally in the office.
- sapphic, kelly helped pam discover the term sapphic but she definitely had her awakening with Katy/Karen
Like she knows she definitely likes Jim but then she spends time with his partners and she's just like "wait am I jealous of her or jim?"
- while jim/dwight are fucking Pam and Angela also have a similar frenemies with benefits situation
With the consent of Jim obviously
(She is ambiamorous and labels herself as such)
- she's also autistic bc yes
Dwight Schrute
Tumblr media
- transmasc and agender. I don't think he fully identifies as agender he simply just could care less about it's gender.
When explaining that to kelly (bc yes she is who everyone goes to when they're questioning their identity bc they've tried to talk to toby but he was so useless he basically defers everyone to kelly (also oscar will not answer those questions bc he can't be bothered)) she basically is like "so you're agender?" and it's just like "no I'm trying to tell you I have no gender!" "Dwight no-"
- it/he in professional settings it only uses he/him but like pam, angela, and Jim know he uses it/it's
Eventually everyone else figures out and they're just like "I've been using it/it's on him for years!"
- demiro; I think he very clearly falls for someone sexually very fast and will be like lowkey obsessed but it takes him awhile to actually fall for people romantically. I also sometimes hc him as nebularomantic since he is technically supposed to be autistic?? At least I hc it as autistic-
- pan, just makes sense to me 🤷
- polyamorous, as he's dating Angela he is also sleeping with Jim (with Angela's consent obvs)
Andy Bernard
Tumblr media
- cis, I can't really imagine him as anything else sorry
- he/him and he's also a pretty big trans ally and he takes pronouns very seriously. He went to Cornell so he knows his english or whatever. He Will call people out when they hate on pronouns and use "I/We/Me" in the post.
- realistically? Bicurious
In my headcanon? Gay but so so deep in closet (it is glass though) due to his upbringing he has unfortunately repressed it just so much.
- had crushes on Oscar, Darryl, and Jim at some point, he would never admit these were crushes though.
- oh he's also autistic
Kelly Kapoor
Tumblr media
- cis, though sometimes I transfem her
- she/her
- realistically bi but in my heart of hearts she's a lesbian with comphet
- she's dating Erin
- she's autistics with a special interest in fashion and celebrities
Oscar Martinez
Tumblr media
- cis, not a hater of trans Oscar but I fear I can't see him as anything other than cis 🥲
- he/him, he also would get into arguments over pronouns and he would own the average transphobe by saying "actually-"
- gay (canon)
- autistic in my heart of hearts
- he refuses to catch feelings out of fear of rejection
- bc of this Andy has to be the one to confess first which is hard for both of them
Sigh gay men 😔
(TO BE CONTINUED I HIT IMAGE LIMIT)

AU: Here's How Billford Can Still Win
(part 1: make that triangle miserable)
tl;dr: i want bill to have his ability to live in denial about what he did shattered by several important figures from his past BEFORE he can enact weirdmageddon. this way the yaoi can be messy and toxic (at first) but NOT doomed. it's self indulgent for sure but i'm doin my best to keep it IC as i can 🫡
this first post is just me figuring out how i think things would have to go down on bill's end for billford to have any chance of working out. take my hand. come away with me to my autism world
Tumblr media
i'm still figuring out all the details of what would have to change to like. weaken bill's mental defenses enough because he HAS been able to shove his guilt down for so long. i do think everything with ford would be one of the key factors cause he had never connected so much with any of his prior human partners and obviously things souring fucked him up enough to have a turbo breakdown. (i know it's also because of the amount of times the plan has failed but i think he's also feeling rejected by so many humans not liking him lolll)
i think his breakdown after getting wasted at o'sadley's would happen like in canon, save for its repercussions. once bill starts thinking about his mom and everyone else from euclydia around when he's about to be arrested, maybe it would open the door for thoughts of them to keep slipping through his defenses. and suddenly thinking about weirdmageddon and hearing himself and other people talking about it could have a chance of triggering him.
i know personally that trauma can jump in and completely drag you back in time regardless of any logic, and i think him having that kind of episode sooner might be the key to getting him to face that he doesn't want to keep repeating what he did to euclydia because it's never going to be enough to convince the small, small voice in his head saying 'stop'.
because that's just the thing. bill has forced himself down a path of destruction to Prove to himself that its actually for the best to tear down "miserable reality" and replace it with his own vision. his drive and impatience to get weirdmageddon going is BECAUSE he wants to permanently cement that narrative in his mind with the ultimate "proof". because if the narrative fails, not only will he not be able to mentally cope (without help) he'll completely fail the henchmaniacs, who he promised a new home, and look vulnerable and weak, which he's TRAINED them to view as what should be destroyed.
i think the o'sadley breakdown and my proposed worsened repercussions of it would destabilize him, but it wouldn't be enough to stop him. what would push bill over the edge in this hypothetical would be several powerful entities from bill's past like the axolotl, the oracle, and time baby working together to somehow target his mental weak point. cause remember, time baby canonically KNOWS bill's weak point.
also like. To Me. the axolotl and the oracle are people bill was close to and has seen himself in at one point* but they matured and he didn't, and that's why he's SO hostile towards them.
*the oracle being an ex-henchmaniac is canon but i say this about the axolotl because of xolotl. look him up, it'll freak your bean.
alsooooo... ford not being as immature and vengeful as bill hoped he was is probably why bill broke down so hard - because it reminded him of the axolotl and the oracle. all the people who he actually connected with on a deeper level have left because of the same reason. but bill was always too terrified to confront everything he's done, which would be necessary to follow them.
so ends part 1... next, i think i'm gonna try to figure out how ford and bill would meet again (haha). ford is sucked into the portal right after (maybe even during?) the whole o'sadley's deal iirc sooo... fun point in the timeline to play with!
also hopin to draw stuff for this AU in the future :]c calling upon the power of my newly aquired ADHD meds lmao

LEGO MONKIE KID
Okay FINE I made a one-shot
From this theory/post I made a little while ago.
-------------------------------------------------------
"I admit. It IS kinda fun being on this side of things. Maybe this is why..."
Macaque could barely hear the rest of what MK had to say because of the ringing in his ears. Getting thrown into a mountain will do that to you. But as someone who fought along side The Monkey King himself, Macaque easily recovered and took a fighting stance once again.
"Kid, listen to me."
"No. I'm tired of listening. I'm tired of listening to everyone and everything around me. Gods like Nuwa telling me to give up my life. Immortals like Monkey King telling me my life is worth more than that. Who is HE to say I'm 'SPECIAL'?!......So no-" Mk walked through the rubble towards Macaque. Eyes golden with three tails swaying behind him. "From now on, I'm doing what I have the power to do. Which is whatever I want."
Macaque knew he wouldn't get through to him (from firsthand experience). Not alone anyway. In fact...
"Some help would be greatly appreciated!"
Mk quirked an eyebrow, wondering who Macaque was talking to until another, more irritated voice was heard from where they were fighting just moments ago.
"I'M COMING, YOU BEARDED RAT! I can't exactly keep up with you celestial primates, you know!"
Mk watched as Redson, out-of-breath and just as angry as usual, came into the picture. He smiled as Redson walked closer to Macaque's side; clearly indicating how this is now a 2-vs-1 fight. Hilarious.
"Him!? Y-you brought him?" Mk couldn't help but laugh. Doubling over and holding his sides, MK's laughter almost sounded innocent enough to make you forget the destruction he's been causing the world for weeks.
Redson was about to blow a fuse until MK continued.
"Calm down, Redson, I'm not laughing AT you." Which sounded like a lie considering he was still chuckling. "I know you're strong. You used to cause me a lot of trouble when I first got the staff. Used to. I'm laughing at the irony."
Both Macaque and Redson were surprised at the fact that MK was talking this much during a fight. Recently, he's just been going on a rampage. No reasoning with him and no talking to him. Macaque and Redson were sent together to take him on. To distract him. And it looks like Mk just figured out the reason it had to be them...
"Two of my greatest enemies. Redeemed by yours truely to help save the world from the one who saved them. You can't tell me that's not the greatest thing ever. But I just have one question..."
Macaque and Redson suddenly felt the air get heavy. Like an invisible force was weighing down on their backs and their legs were jelly. Macaque couldn't help but think if this is what Wukong felt when he was trapped under the mountain. He looked up at Mk and his deranged smile was gone. Replaced with a calm fury that would've made him RUN if he could've.
"If neither of you are strong enough to scratch Sun Wukong, how the hell are you going to fight someone who's stronger than him?"

If anyone wants to continue this, feel free (moot or not). Just give me credit. Maybe someday I'll write my first fanfic...just not today😂
It's mostly MK dialogue because I love writing insanity😍

more headcanons about sebastian solace from the hit game pressure roblox
back on my bullshit and i promise i only talk about The Situation a little bit
☆ his third arm is more sensitive than the other two (i'm thinking that either the USHD doctors fucked something up during the operation OR it grew in wrong, nerve endings closer to the epidermis and whatnot, something like that)
☆ just hates being touched in general, he’d rather initiate that contact (need an update where he gently —> not very gently shakes expendables off (depending on whether and how much they’ve annoyed/flashbanged him) when they climb him) ☆☆ part of this is due to trauma, he cant trust anyone to touch him without hurting him ☆☆ the other part is that he’s got that fucking dawg in him (i’ll get to this in a second)
☆ unlike what his new voice lines are starting to suggest about his character (i’m not gonna talk about zerum again because i think everyone knows what's happening at this point and ive already thrown in my two cents) he does NOT hate the expendables. literally his first line upon meeting him in his shop has him calling himself your friend (as strained of a connection as it may be, he could very easily not offer items, not share documentation/info, and just take the expendables data and hoard anything he picks up to make it harder for them to get to the crystal) (like yes, it's a mutually beneficial relationship but if sebastian didn't care about or sympathize with the expendables to some extent, it wouldn't be). i really do think he just has a short fuse (i'm not going to bring up trauma again, however-) and says things he doesn't mean (e.g. “they deserved it. and frankly so do the rest of you.” (im coping with the mischaracterization of these new lines leave me alone)) as a means of protecting himself and pushing the expendables further away (both physically and emotionally)
☆ he’ll act like a brat once they’re done, but he lets younger expendables sleep in his shop (he cares about them but would never in a million years let them know that) ☆☆ if a younger one comes in with a bunch of adult expendables, he’ll treat them all the same but will secretly slip the younger one some extra batteries, gauze, something unnoticeable (he feels especially responsible for the younger male expendables cause they remind him of his little brother)
☆ sometimes he thinks he can hear his family's voices on the radio, just under all the static, calling out for him like a search party would. he used to cry over this but he almost got caught once by an expendable coming into the shop so he does his best to tune it out. it’s hard. guilt pulls at his stomach every time he hears a clip of his family, begging for him to come home, to respond, something, anything, and he ignores it.
☆ autism (cause i said so) - i'm including this one for the sole reason that he does the dinosaur thing with his third arm and generally keeps his hands clasped together in the secret dinosaur position (he just like me fr) ☆☆ hates bright lights (the only light he uses/allows in his shop is the one he emits) (its a very soft/warm hue as opposed to the bright fluorescents throughout the rest of the facility) (not to bring up the flash beacon, obviously nobody likes getting flashbanged and he's got angler eyes but sTILL)
☆ he used to hate eating fish (pre-op) and now he’s pissed cause it’s all he has available and the DNA changes made it so fish is the yummiest tastiest thing in the world (i like imagining him actively fighting the urge to eat whatever fish he’s cooked in one bite cause he refuses to acknowledge that he's changed on a level that isn't physical/appearance-based)
☆ calls grown adults “kiddo” (even the ones that are older than him) ☆☆ he gets a certain kind of joy from seeing the 40/50/60 year old expendables try to figure out just how old he is after they get called “kiddo”. it’s extra fun for him when they’ve clearly already heard the rumors and/or gotten a glimpse of his file
☆ the ring is just an accessory, a bracelet on the floor or in a locker he found and liked. assumed nobody was gonna claim it and kept it (shoutout to @/lotus.eaterr on tik tok for this one!!!!)
