Autism Speaks ~ Are You Listening? Neurodiverse Awareness ~ Repost

The following is written by my beautiful daughter, Kai, who is diagnosed as Autistic, as is one of her children. She is an advocate for the Autistic/Neurodivergent community. Her empathetic and compassionate insights shine an educated light on the realities people on all levels of the Autistic Spectrum face. I’ve been thinking about something a lot. Low support needs autistic people aren’t…

The fun part about characters' names being written in katakana is obscuring the meaning or being able to be interprered many different ways. For example, Brock's Japanese name Takeshi, could be written as bamboo-will or rock-mountain depending on which kanji you use.

We know that Bashou and Buson take their names from haiku masters and we know Buson's named for his loyalty and devotion to Bashou, but Buson's high rank, design, and military aesthetics suggest a different possible meaning and kanji spelling, which might also explain the dub's choice of Attila and Hun...

Poet Bashou took his pen name from the banana tree, gifted to him by a pupil. His hermitage at the temple was shaded by the banana tree, so it became known as the basho-an.

it fell into disrepair by Buson's time. Buson spent money restoring it and built a monument to Bashou there, even asking to be buried next to it, a request that was honoured, and his own disciples were buried around him.

Poet Buson's name is written with the characters for turnip-village. He was also calked Yosa no Buson, Yosa taken from the name of his mother's birthplace. Buson was born in Tennoji, which was then known for its turnips, so Buson is turnip-village.

Another way to write Buson is with these kanji:

武尊

Meaning:

武 Strong and courageous. Strong-willed. warrior. soldier. Battle. War. Military. War potential. Weapons. Overcome. Surpass.

尊 Respect. A high value or rank. A word expressing respect. A title of respect attached to the name of a deity or noble person.

So, that's 武 (bu, same as in bushidou) meaning “martial, military, warrior, arms” and 尊 (son) which is a mark of respect and used for nobility and deities.

Attila the Hun, a famous warlord, dubbed the Scourge of God, therefore feels fitting.

'Attila (pronounced: “atilla”) is a modern transcript of the name of the Hunnic ruler of the 5th century AD. Its origin is debated, either a Germanic exonym (meaning “respectful father”), or Turkish (in this case it means “father of the earth”) or Mongol (it can mean simply “ruler”).'

Both names are war-like, befitting a warrior, soldier... and a weapon. They also suggest lofty rank, fitting a high ranking agent who tries to capture a Legendary Pokemon (and later succeeds at capturing another!)

... this one is probably simply serendipity, but Buson being based on the tanuki archtype (contrasting with Bashou's kitsune archtype*), tanuki having a weakness for wine and women, and Attila the Hun's mysterious and shady death on his wedding night to a woman who asked for his help to be freed from an unwanted marriage (she sent him a letter and a gift and he either misunderstood or willfully misinterpreted it as a proposal to him, so went to war ostensibly for her sake) was either assassinated/somehow poisoned by his wife or the bleeding was caused by his drinking problem.

My first day of elementary school:

I refused to get on the bus because I thought my mom was abandoning me. I remember not knowing what to expect so I imagined Timmy's teacher from fairly odd paeents waving to me as we pulled up to the school. I got there and everyone got off the bus and went to their class. I proceeded to wander the halls, crying. Ididn't know where to go at all

. A nice lady found me and sent me to the office. I went into the class and people were playing together. This was the first time I ever saw children my age. I saw a boy i thought was cute. I saw him playing with another boy, and after the other boy left the table, I repeated the last thing I heard the boy say to him, and he got very confused and didn't want to play with me anymore. I went over to the puzzles to play by myself, and there was a team rocket puzzle that was missing pieces.

We started class and we did rhyming. Box and fox. I raised my hand every time and didn't get called on . I remember feeling jealous that the other students were getting more attention than me, and felt alone. I had drawn a picture of an anime character while listening and someone told me it was ugly. I started crying a lot, and a girl comforted me saying he's just mean.

I remember taking a nap on the mats on the floor. I never slept that close to anyone before and was really uncomfortable. I sat up and looked at them sleep and didn't feel right.

[raphoupix]

My parents wanted to name me Anthony, but my sisters insisted so much my paeents to name me Raphaël, because they loved so much a character from some sitcom (idk which one). My parents agreed because it wasn't too bad. Anthony is my 2nd name, and my third name is Laurent because it was the name of the father of my dad.

Sweet relief

Jesse x reader

Requested by @minheoly “Can you do an angst where the reader and jesse try to make life work after the birth of JJ but they have to break up because its too much. And then they meet up again years later and have a cute reunion (as friends and or they rekindle since jesse chose to co-paeent but not be with dina . You can choose which one you like !)

Warning- ANGST, fluff

———-

Time after finding out about a new baby is exciting, especially in a time such as this where having babies isn’t as common as it was before all these monsters roamed the earth.

And it was exciting, finding out Dina was going to have a baby...with your boyfriend Jesse, for a while. You liked going to visit her as her stomach grew, you liked to feel the baby kick, but as time passed and after the baby was born, things became harder.

Jesse's time with you turned less and less. And you understood he was a parent, you could never make him choose between his kid and you. Life was just getting hard.

And in many ways Jesse didn’t seem to understand that. You both argued, yes, a lot, but he didn’t seem to grasp the difficulty of the situation. He always thought that arguing was just normal, that it was something you’d recover from, but you were getting tired. It just wasn’t working for you anymore. As much as you loved him, you just couldn’t keep going anymore. You needed to end things with him.

It was for the best, for him and you.

You were anxious to end things, but it needed to be done. And like the many times before he came home late, he walked through the door and jumped slightly as he saw you waiting for him in the living room. He put his things away and approached you, not noticing the almost grim expression on your face, he tried to press a kiss on your cheek, but you moved your head away to avoid the gesture, instantly making him catch onto your mood and sigh at what he thought was coming.

“Look, y/n, I’m not in the mood today, let’s just leave it for tomorrow.” He pulls away and turns to walk to your shared room, but you stop him before he disappears inside.

“It’s not that,” you sigh, sitting up right and then leaning forward, unable to even get comfortable with the weight on your shoulders. “Jesse we need to talk...about us.”

Jesse turns around and leans by the corner of the wall under the hallway entrance, hiding his expression by the shadow of the darkness casted from the hall.

“I love you,” you speak truthfully, titling your head up to see him looking down and crossing his arms over his chest. “But what we have going on, our relationship isn’t working anymore.”

“What do you mean?” He queries, keeping his gaze downcasted.

You stand up and keep looking at him, taking a step closer to him to see him better with the light shining across him. “I just mean that I...I’m breaking up with you.”

Jesse's eyes widen and he snaps his head to look up at you. He unfolds his arms and looks at you in disbelief. He parts his lips to argue, but he ends up staring at you, mouth agape.

“We just aren’t on the same page anymore, we’re both in different chapters of our lives and I need to move on my own. Try to figure life out without you.”

“But, I love you,” he protests, pushing himself off the wall and taking a step towards you, making you take one back and be partially disguised by the shadows on the room's corner. “I still want to be with you, I still want to make things work. Why this sudden need to end us?”

“Because,” you sigh, “we aren’t working anymore Jesse, you’re always busy and away. We hardly spend time together and when we do it’s just to argue. I don’t want to live like that anymore.” You argue, feeling your eyes sting with mixed emotions flowing through you. “I try to make things work, I try to make a simple day special, but it never works.”

“That’s because I have a kid to take care of, y/n.” Jesse argues, “I have expeditions to plan and go to, I come home tired.”

“And all I want is you to just give me a little bit of attention, Jesse, that’s all I ask for and right now I know you can’t do that.” You take a step towards him and feel your throat burn with the yearn to cry, keeping your emotions hidden by the shadows, noticing his tears gleam in his eyes. “And I understand your priorities, I can’t and won’t make you choose. Ever. Which is why I’m ending things.”

“But—”

“Yeah I know,” you interject, placing your hands on your hips and expressing a deep shaky sigh. “I love you too, but it’s for the best, I know you know that.”

Tears roll down your eyes and you hear him take a step back to the entrance of the hall, dropping his head and hiding his face.

“If that’s what you want….I won’t stop you, even if I want to.”

You nod slowly, beginning to walk towards the front door and only stopping before opening it to grab your jacket, looking over your shoulder one last time to see Jesse's tears glisten by the light shining across him. He made sure not to look at you, probably trying to hide the fact that he was crying, but you had caught his emotions and didn’t call him on it. Instead you let your own tears continue to flow down and you added one last comment before leaving.

“I love you. I always will.”

——

*FIVE YEARS LATER*

“Hi Ellie,” you greet warmly with a bright grin on your lips. “It’s been a while.”

“Yeah, you sucker, where the hell have you been?” She blurted.

You shrug and begin to follow beside her as she walks you towards her home. “Trying to just live.”

“Away from us? For five years?” She probes.

Again you shrug and just smile shyly. “I’m back now and I’ve brought JJ a present.”

Ellie smiles brighter, “oh he’ll love it.”

You slowly examine the farm and sigh with relief as you hear the animals in the distance, the wind drift past, feel the sun kiss your skin, and smell the scents of the flowers around the fields as you take in a deep breath. “I missed this place.”

“It’s amazing isn’t it.” Ellie agrees with you, “I love just admiring the scenery.” She comes to a stop and turns herself and you to admire the mountains in the distance.

“Do you come across any infected?”

She nods, “sometimes but Jesse and I take care of them.”

Jesse. Where was he?

Of course you didn’t come here expecting not to see him. It just felt strange to think you’d see him. It’s been five years. You wanted to see him, but at the same time you didn’t.

Regardless of your thoughts, you answer with a soft hum and turn your head towards the house as you see a little dark haired boy running Ellie’s way with a goofy grin on his lips.

“Hey, J.” Ellie exclaims as she opens her arms to wait for him to come running in for a big bear hug. She lifts him up and kisses his forehead. “You finally done taking your nap little man?”

“Yeah,” he nods, taking you by surprise at the sound of his voice and his clear word. “Can we go play? Daddy said to come ask you.”

“Why can’t he play?” She teases, shooting you a smug grin.

“Because he says he’s busy.”

“Busy avoiding someone?”

The little boy looks at her confused and shrugs. “I don’t know.”

Ellie chuckles and changes the subject instead, turning fully to face you with JJ in arms. “JJ, this is y/n, an old friend. You met her before, but you were just a baby then.”

The little boy drifts his gaze to you and smiles kindly, waving and greeting you. “Hi, I’m JJ.”

You match his grin and wave back. “I’m y/n. I heard it was your birthday so I brought you this,” you hand him a wrapped box and he takes it with overwhelming joy.

“What do you say?” Ellie questions him.

“Thank you!”

Ellie turns towards her home and looks over her shoulder to point her head towards her house. “Come on.”

You sigh and hesitate but nod nonetheless, proceeding to follow her towards her home, but stopping as Jesse walked out to the front porch with Dina following behind him. At the sight of you, she smiles at you and waves, walking quickly down the stairs and meeting you halfway to throw her arms around you. “Y/N!”

You avert Jesse's lingering gaze and return her embrace and her excitement. “Hey, it’s so good to see you!”

“Where have you been?” She asks as she pulls away, grabbing a hold of your shoulders tightly.

“Oh you know living.”

“Oh well we’ve missed you.”

You smile softly, “I’ve missed you all too.”

Dina turns around and hooks her arm with yours to begin to pull you inside. Stopping at top of the porch as Jesse stayed by the door. He averted your gaze but Dina left you there in front of him and pulled Ellie and JJ with her.

“Hey,” you sigh.

His dark eyes stay on the ground but slowly drift up to you to offer you a tight lipped smile. “Hello, y/n.”

“It’s good to see you’re doing good.”

“You too.”

You step back and stand where the sun hits your skin, you clasp your hands together and offer him a sweet smile. “I-I’ve missed you, y’know.”

Jesse straightens out his shoulders and looks at you with parted lips, he stays silent for a while and then walks down the small flight of stairs, waiting for you on the ground. You don’t hesitate to follow after him, falling by his side and remaining silent for a while until he spoke up.

“You came for me?”

You scoff, “that’s only half of it.”

“Wow,” He teases with a playful grin, “you just keep hurting me.”

You shake your head and can't help the grin. “You look good. You’ve gained more muscle.”

Jesse puts his hands in his pockets and shrugs nonchalantly. “What can I say? It’s been five years.” He looks at you and from the corner of your eyes you see his smile shine even brighter by the light of the bright sun in the sky. “You look good too. What are you doing back?”

“Well I was in town and I do plan to stay long term. I’ve found myself and decided it’s time to go home.”

Jesse nods and you look at him with a small assuring smile.

“How have you been?”

“Good,” he assures you, “you know taking care of JJ, surviving. What about you? Have you been...alone this whole time?”

“Yep,” you nod, “you?”

“Yeah just me and my little man.”

“That’s good,” you mutter, disguising your relief for the answer he’d given you. “Do you—”

“I've been waiting for you,” Jesse cuts you off, turning away to look at the green field. “I understood why you left, it took me a while to understand, but I do and I haven’t been able to get you out of my head. I still love you til this day.”

You grin and stop, seeing him stop and turn to face you. You express a shaky sigh and then share your own feelings. “I love you too.”

Jesse grins brightly and walks towards you to pull you in for a hug that you didn’t hesitate to return, digging your head into the crook of his neck and feeling a sweet relief.

Help i forgot my .paeents card

[sab-teraa]

*bursary whoops I forgot how to spell (see my point)

GUYS GUYS GUYS I WAS JUST AWARDED A BURSERY (I didn’t even apply I was nominated, so I didn’t even know!) AND IT PAYS HALF MY TUTION AND FOR MY RESEARCH. IM SO FUCJING SHOOK

[onionrinqz]

I kinda feel like the twins only being able to turn into one animal wouldn't make them superheroes, more like sidekicks going by the movie verse. So maybe they can also turn into giant hyena beasts (think the owl beast size and power level) as well as regular hyenes/foxes? Maybe due to their limitations they always try and get Amity involved in their pranks (Hey can you turn into a mouse to reach this thing for us? Cue Luz wanting to see mouse Amity lol) All the Blights are furries lmaoooo

yeah thats seem fitting! i also doubt their paeents would want their kids to be sidekicks considering how they are in the show smh

and oh god they definitely would try and get her involved in so many stupid things

[dissonantaki]

also damn your paeents suck, im sorry. :(

“Oh, um... thanks, I guess. It’s not like I need your pity or anything, but... thank you for understanding, I guess.”
