Been caught up with house renovations so haven't been able to draw for like 4 days and I'm struggling. Like as much as art frustrates me I think I sometimes forget that it was my original and still is my biggest special interest and if I don't look at or draw art I crumble at the base

Oh, my godddd, miss me with this shit.
Stimming just means 'self-stimulating behaviour". It is anything one does to give oneself A Good Sensory Feeling. That can mean flapping and rocking and spinning but it can also mean twirling your hair, chewing your pencil, blinking repeatedly, singing (under your breath or otherwise), and playing with fucking stim toys...
and everyone stims. I mean everyone. Your mom stims. Your therapist stims. Ableist Neurotypical Steve From Marketing stims. e v e r y o n e no exceptions.
autistic people stim MORE often than neurotypical people and in different ways, for a wide variety of reasons. but you can't gatekeep basic human behaviour because you're tired of people on the internet thinking you're cringe or whatever, jfc

Autistic Spencer Reid
Before Autism Acceptance Month ends, I wanted to share a list of my autistic Spencer Reid headcanons! (I've been meaning to do this but have continuously forgotten haha.) Most of these are semi-rooted in canon, though others just felt right to me.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Canā€™t handle the feeling of the metal against his skin, which is why he wears his watch over his sleeve. (Noted Reid wears his watch over his sleeve in S2E9 "The Last Word," and it is further noticed in future episodes.)
Covers his ears whenever heā€™s on a call; due to auditory processing issues, the background noise will feel level with the audio from the phone. Even if the room is mostly silent, he still does it, partially out of habit, partially because it just makes him feel more comfortable (rooted in canon, first noted in S2E10 "Lessons Learned," noticed in multiple episodes).
Stims in several discreet ways such as pacing, spinning in chairs, and spinning pencils/pens. They're less noticeable, a more ā€œnormalizedā€ way for him to stim. He doesnā€™t quite have the confidence to do stims as obvious as hand flapping in the company of those he isnā€™t familiar/comfortable with (rooted in canon, noticed in multiple episodes).
Background noise can feel equally as loud as inside noise, making it harder to focus (rooted in canon, first noted in S2E17 "Distress").
Routine is a must, and he expects that everyone else must stick to a routine as well. (S3E2 "In Name and Blood" Gideon doesnā€™t show up to his routine chess match with Reid, and he stays overnight in his office waiting to playā€“eventually falling asleep, still waiting.)
He says things directly, seemingly without filter. It can cause people to think he is being rude, but his intention is not to be rude. Heā€™s stating what he believes to be an objective truthā€“a fact. (S3E8 "Lucky," he implies Morgan may not really believe in God, and the entire plane stares at him & in S7E13 "Snake Eyes," he makes a comment on Rossi's age that prompts a disbelieving response.)
Bright lights and loud noises are an absolute no. He expresses that ā€œclubs arenā€™t his thingā€ (S4E9 "52 Pickup").
Hunger is a weird feeling for him that tends to go unnoticed, and he may forget to eat if not prompted. The rest of the team does their ultimate best to remind him to eat, and Rossi takes particular notice of the textures he likes and doesnā€™t like, in case restaurant outings are necessary.
Eating is also difficult sometimes due to sensory discomfort around textures and smells, leading to Reid avoiding meals. He can feel like he's going to throw upā€“and as a germaphobe, that is out of the question.
Suffers from light sensitivity due to sensory issues, which leads to migraines and discomfort. He carries a pair of sunglasses with him at all times to try and ward off the headaches. (S6E12 "Corazon")
Despises sand with a passion. He absolutely abhors it. If you ever take him to a beach, he refuses to take his shoes off. (S8E5 "The Good Earth," Reid explains to JJ that he doesn't like the beach.)
Struggles with over-stimulation and can get distracted by the tiniest thing, making it difficult to focus. (S8E10 "The Lesson," Reid explains to Blake that he is sitting in an isolated place because he cannot focus because of the background noise.)
Horrible spatial awarenessā€“often trips over or into things. Walks into doorframes and doors often, along with the sides and corners of tables.
Is typically touch-averse and only allows touches from those who he is close to or if he initiates it.

random httyd headcanons
eret snorts when he laughs really hard
everyone has a crush on him at some point or another & fights for his attention (in their own ways)
eret also has a HUGE soft spot for tidal class dragons. HUGE.
when snotlout is geuninely furious, like, fucking pissed, he's weirdly quiet in a way that makes everyone uncomfortable (& a little scared)
out of the gang, def the best singer (when he actually puts effort into it, but he's usually tipsy or alone for that)
fishlegs will shuffle his deck of dragon cards as a form of stimming/self soothing
excellent at shuffling cards btw. whenever anyone in the gang plays a card game/gambles, they make him shuffle the cards. yes even when he's not involved in the game at all. (it's hot & mesmerizing)
tuffnut has itemized lists in his head of what each of his friends like and dislike & will randomly inflict the information he knows upon them & always takes them by surprise
bc of this he's actually a very good gift giver, ties into ruffnut being an excellent shopper. he figured out what to get, she's able to find it.
ruffnut actually does love shopping whilst being excellent at it & dragging astrid out to do it is smth she also loves
gets astrid into it too, bc ruff actually finds the coolest shit. even has a collection of old, small knives from around the world. she always has an elaborate story abt it (either true or made up by her but no one can truly tell)
astrid has slivers consistently in her hands from the wooden handle of her axe & the amt of times she's had to pull it from tree, targets, etc. she never notices & they don't bother her
one day eret asked her if she knew dragon eggs exploded when they hatched & she thought abt fist fighting odin, thor, & then eret before saying yes through gritted teeth
hiccup can spin his pencils in his hand between his fingers & has accidentally had them launch & hit ppl in the face
toothless thinks it's a game & will shoot the pencil out of the air & destroy it (hiccup has to make a lot of new charcoal pencils)
hiccup taught fishlegs & astrid how to draw

i think ur neurodetergent
like what r ur stims
"I- Neurodivergent??" he chuckles a little.
"I don't know, we don't really have psychiatrists down here." he shrugs a little.
"I spin things when I'm holding them, I toss things and then catch them, I chew on my pens and pencils, I repeat what people say a lot, I like to do the middle finger - just the flexing is nice, I kick my feet when I'm on a barstool, I spin in chairs." he thinks, "that's pretty much it." he shrugs.

can u talk more about wren being autistic!! >_<
YEA OFC!!!!
wren has a set routine/schedule that he follows everyday, and if something unplanned happens he can find it difficult to adjust
he doesn't pick up on certain social cues and so can be seen as blunt/rude (also because he has a hard time reading how people feel when they only hint at it & don't explicitly say it out loud)
tends to hyperfocus on certain tasks/hobbies (ex: tinkering with doodads making lil gadgets etc)
reduced facial expressiveness/some difficulty expressing emotions thru facial expressions, tone, etc but gets better with practice
sleeps/rests a lot due to being overwhelmed by sensory input throughout the day
prefers working alone most of the time cuz he feels his memory is more reliable & generally functions better when alone
used to be way less socially adept when he was younger, but due to studying social skills over time he's become good at socializing conversation-wise
really dislikes foods with goopy/slimy textures. likes strong flavors like spicy foods and likes the stimulation from crunchy foods
he doesn't like fishing because he's impatient and will fidget the entire time he waits and also cuz he dislikes the smell of seafood. prefers mining & combat/fighting monsters because it's a steady source of activity n he likes to keep his hands busy -> which is why he makes lots of gestures w his hands/arms when talking and stims by tapping his fingers on objects, spinning things, rubbing his clothes, etc. he also chews on pencils/pens when using them -3-

None of the bat children are neurotypical here's some stims
Dick is tippity-tapping away on every surface, making some funky fresh beats on the table in the middle of a meeting until someone tells him to "Fucking stop it, Dick", not to mention he's never sitting correctly in a chair. Also did excited flappy hands a lot as a kid, much less now.
Jason chews on shit. All of the things. Nibbled off the eraser on every pencil he's ever had, bit the rubber grips off of pens, chews on the inside of his mouth, bites his nails, etc etc. Took to gum after the ninth time he bit his nails too much and they bled. Chews the fingertips of his gloves when he's thinking and they are covered in holes.
Tim twirls things in his hands and twists rubber bands and hair elastics back and fourth. He spins his staff around and makes a point of showing off the tricks he can do without even thinking about it. Rocks a little when he's stressed out, not uncommon to see him rocking away in front of the Bat-Computer working on a case. Whistles all the time, mimics bird calls.
Steph: Pop sounds. Will be baking/doing chores and making popping noises the whole way. Knows how to make the water drop sound as well. When she was younger she did that thing while she was standing where she would twist and let her arms rag doll around her (I don't know how to describe it but if you've done it you're picking up what I'm putting down).
Cass: In a similar vein as Dick's tapping, Cass snaps her fingers and makes little patterns. Repeatedly cracks knuckles and other joints. She's one of those people who can twist in a very unassuming way and the most guttural crack comes from her spine and everyone's just like 0.O
Duke: Humming and knuckle cracking, drums his fingers on the table and is tapping his foot so fast it makes the speedsters turn their heads. Dedicated a decent period of time learning how to make his tongue into different shapes.
Damian: Really likes soft/fluffy textures and will rub the fabric against his lips and face, and just generally brush his hands over it repeatedly. He will sit with Titus for hours petting him, not just because he likes petting the dog but because Titus' fur is a texture he enjoys.

Do my symptoms align with autism?
Iā€™ve been looking into whether I might be autistic recently. Iā€™m not self-diagnosing. I just suspect I might have autism, and I wanted to put this here to see what other people think.
Reasons why I think I am:
1. Stimming
This is definitely the main one. I think I stim way more than a neurotypical would, even when I was a kid. I pace, I walk in circles, I spin around over and over and over and over again and I donā€™t really get dizzy. I especially like to listen to music while doing this.
Before spinning in circles, I used to pace around in circles with my hands clenched together. It sort of helped me focus and think and daydream.
I do the spinning thing multiple times a day, and if Iā€™m forced to go a few days without it, I get antsy and a little frustrated. (When I spin, I do it on the hardwood floor, keeping my balance by placing my hands on the back of the couch, and doing it on carpet is a lot harder. This is my favorite ā€œtypeā€ of stim, so if Iā€™m on a vacation where weā€™re at a hotel without hardwood floors, thatā€™s why I canā€™t do it sometimes. But then I will anyway on carpet because I just have to.)
I do tend to rock when Iā€™m by myself ā€” or, swaying is more like it, but yeah, rocking too. Iā€™ll sway a bit more than I will rock.
Iā€™m literally pacing in circles as I type this out lol.
2. Hyperfixations/special interests
(Are those the same thing, or two different things? Please correct me if theyā€™re classified as different things.)
I have what Iā€™d call special interests ā€” gender, Amphibia, Dork Diaries. I look up genders and try to learn as much about them as possible, everyday.
For Amphibia and Dork Diaries, I usually just read fanfic or write my own. The other thing I do a lot is daydreaming, though, and those are the top 2 things I daydream about. Iā€™m constantly in my head, and Iā€™m usually daydreaming in the back of my mind, like, all day. (About those two things.)
The thing about my hyperfixations are that I donā€™t talk to other people about them. (I donā€™t like talking in general, really.) I just keep them to myself and learn about them/daydream about them by myself. I never felt a need to share and I donā€™t infodump on people.
3. Fidgeting
Iā€™m not sure if this is the same as stimming, but Iā€™m separating these two.
Usually when Iā€™m sitting still, Iā€™m fidgeting. Iā€™ll be tapping my pencil or foot 90% of the time. I do it a lot, and I donā€™t even notice sometimes when I do.
I donā€™t know where to put this either, but I also bite my nails. I donā€™t just bite them either, I pick them off. It calms me down and helps me relax or gives me something to do when Iā€™m nervous or just plain bored. (Iā€™m well aware this isnā€™t healthy, please donā€™t attack me in the comments section.)
4. Procrastination (executive dysfunction?)
I know lots of people procrastinate, but I think what I experience lines up more with executive dysfunction. (Which Iā€™ve learned is also a trait of ADHD, so I donā€™t know if I have that instead.)
Itā€™s so so hard to focus on a school task or something thatā€™s boring. Or even something thatā€™s exciting, like writing on a fanfic or book, I procrastinate on so much. I set plans to do things but I donā€™t get them done. Even when itā€™s something stupidly easy to do, sometimes I just donā€™t do it. And when itā€™s hard, when I donā€™t even know where to start, itā€™s nearly impossible to start. (I usually force myself to get it done anyway, with big projects, but with smaller things and little homework assignments, I donā€™t always do. Then I kick myself for it later.)
5. Routine
I eat the same food every day for lunch, at school. (Uncrustables sandwich, yogurt, applesauce, and/or yogurt with m&m toppings I can put it in.) At home, I eat different foods for lunch ā€” I make my own cheese burrito when we have soft shell tacos and shredded cheese. If that isnā€™t available, I make cheese sandwiches. If that isnā€™t available, sometimes I remember other things that are quick and easy to make for lunch ā€” like pizza rolls. And if I donā€™t have that either, sometimes Iā€™ll just skip lunch entirely. Or eat a small snack that doesnā€™t require effort to make whatsoever, but itā€™s usually not enough to qualify for ā€œlunchā€.
I donā€™t wear the same clothes everyday, but I never go shopping. I could wear the same clothes for years and be fine with it (as long as Iā€™ve not outgrown them). The only time I get new clothes is when I see a shirt I really like. Which is usually Stitch (Lilo and Stitch, anyone?)
Itā€™s really hard to break routine.
So thereā€™s this thing at my school, where you can tutor/help out at an elementary school for service hours, and eventually get a scholarship to a 2-year college. The scholarship thing is major.
It took me months just to email the teacher and ask when I could come in. Iā€™m probably severely behind on my volunteer hours. And the stupid thing is, now itā€™s not even hard. I just went on the first day, and it was established that I would do it every day, so there wasnā€™t a way I could back out anyway. And now I go and itā€™s no problem. Itā€™s so stupid.
6. Social Situations
I might have social anxiety, I donā€™t know. I get anxious at the thought of new situations, having to meet new people, etc. I heavily dislike talking to people I donā€™t know. Itā€™s why I prefer not to talk to the cashier at McDonaldā€™s, or rehearse what Iā€™m going to say at the restaurant.
When people ask, ā€œHi, how are you?ā€, I answer ā€œGood, how are you?ā€ They say something back, maybe mention a tiny bit of whatā€™s going on in their lives, and then itā€™s over. For that, I have a pre-recorded answer. For other situations, as Iā€™ll mention later, Iā€™m actually mostly comfortable.
I speak pretty softly, and sometimes I have to force myself to a louder volume.
7. I prefer to do things on my own
Iā€™m independent in a lot of ways, unless I need help. (And, um, not financially independent or anything, I still live with my parents.) And even when I need help, like with homework, itā€™s hard to let other people help me sometimes. I prefer doing things on my own.
Reasons why I think Iā€™m not:
1. Iā€™m fine at social interaction.
I usually pick up on social cues, and communication has never been much of an issue for me. (Sometimes I will sort of freeze up or trail off when talking, and suddenly my brain wonā€™t make my mouth say things. Aside from that, I communicate well.) I understand that bad social interaction was a pretty big indicator of autism, but Iā€™m not bad at it, really.
Actually, the one difference from this is that I do have pretty bad eye contact. I try to look at peopleā€™s eyes when talking because itā€™s polite, but then I look away, and then I look back, and then I look away, and I donā€™t know how long Iā€™m supposed to maintain eye contact before looking away again. I donā€™t like it.
I am deaf, and I wear Cochlear Implants for me to hear. My social interaction is affected by this, as noisy situations are notoriously difficult for me to hear in. Iā€™m asking ā€œWhat?ā€ multiple times a day lol. Sometimes I canā€™t hear a word the other kid is saying in school, and I just smile and nod because thatā€™s all I can do, because itā€™s just too noisy. (Iā€™m throwing this out here in case itā€™s something you might need to take into consideration, but it is completely unrelated to any potential autism.)
2. I donā€™t have hypersensitivity (I donā€™t think so)
Loud sounds donā€™t really bother me, nor do bright lights, or textures, or certain flavors or whatever. I eat the same thing a lot because of routine, not because of uncomfortable flavors or food textures. I think there have been times when everything was just a little too much. Then I usually find the nearest bathroom to calm myself down in. I donā€™t know if this is overstimulation or not, tho. Or if itā€™s specific to neurodivergency, or just me being an introvert and getting overwhelmed by people. And itā€™s not that often at all.
3. Very little aggression
I know that like a lot of things, autism is a spectrum. One of the symptoms is aggression, and I have very little of that. Usually when Iā€™m frustrated with homework and my momā€™s trying to help, Iā€™ll get snappish with her (and then apologize later, because she wasnā€™t doing anything wrong and only trying to help).
Sometimes I do feel really mad, but I just grit my teeth and deal with it internally instead of lashing out. Like arguing in my head until Iā€™ve calmed down and moved on.
4. Meltdowns/Shutdowns
Iā€™m fairly sure I donā€™t have either of these. I think thatā€™s also a major autism thing, one that I donā€™t have.
Things That I Canā€™t Put Into a Category Because I Donā€™t Know Whether Itā€™s Indicative of Autism or Literally Just a Me Thing:
ā€¢ Repeating words and phrases: I donā€™t do that out loud, but I will in my head
ā€¢ Vocal stims: I very rarely do these, and if I do hum or make a noise, itā€™s usually entirely involuntary, usually because I was excited. I donā€™t mean to
ā€¢ Repeating words: I very rarely do that also, but it has happened before. (It happened today once, when we were playing a game. Nothing came of it, it wasnā€™t weird, I just repeated a word my mom said ā€” I canā€™t remember what it was, not a bad one though)
ā€¢ Facial expression: I donā€™t think I have a blank-face that many autistic people do. Iā€™m often smiling when Iā€™m happy, or laughing at things that are funny. (Which arenā€™t even that funny to other people. Sarcasm makes me laugh a lot. I laugh a lot more easily than other people do.) I feel like occasionally it is hard to force myself into a facial expression if Iā€™m not feeling that way
ā€¢ Unusual posture: I literally just looked this up. Iā€™m basically running through all of the autism symptoms and explaining mine, and this is one of them. I think I might have unusual posture. One of the things is shifting all your weight into one leg, and thatā€™s something I definitely do, especially when I have to stand still. (And whenever I have to stand really still, and Iā€™m not putting all weight into one leg, sometimes my knees will lock, and itā€™ll make me light-headed. I almost passed out one time from doing that. Never again.) I donā€™t really know if my posture is unusual aside from that. It might be and I just never noticed. Or it might not. I donā€™t know.
ā€¢ Clumsiness: I never considered myself clumsy, but my brother has told me that he thinks I am. (Considering heā€™s my younger brother and says a lot of stuff to annoy me, take this with a grain of salt.)
ā€¢ Oh, speaking of: metaphors. I think for the most part I understand them. Like grain of salt. And if I donā€™t, then I look it up.
ā€¢ Sarcasm: kind of hit or miss with me. Sometimes I think my brain knows the other person is being sarcastic, because thereā€™s just no way theyā€™re serious about what they just said. But my brain makes me treat it like they are being serious, especially if their tone sounds serious. Itā€™s hard to tell sometimes. But when I do get sarcasm, when their tone sounds obviously sarcastic, then usually itā€™s funny and makes me laugh
ā€¢ I donā€™t like being away from home for a long time. Even a week gets me extremely homesick, and it feels like itā€™s getting worse as I get older. Maybe because I know Iā€™ll have to move out eventually, or move away to college. Moving away for college, or moving out and far away, TERRIFIES me. This may not be an autistic thing, but I donā€™t know, so I put it here. Maybe itā€™s because my routine and my whole life would be upended. I donā€™t know.
ā€¢ Speaking in monotone: Much like my facial expressions, I feel like I speak pretty ā€œnormallyā€. I donā€™t have a monotone voice usually. (I feel like sometimes I do, though? Not often)
ā€¢ Putting pressure on the front of your feet: Apparently thatā€™s a thing. I donā€™t think I do that. I donā€™t think Iā€™ve done that in the past
ā€¢ Decision-making: Related to the executive dysfunction thing. I think I put off big decisions. (Iā€˜ve only somewhat-but-not-really decided which college Iā€™m going to. And I might change my mind.)
ā€¢ Sometimes when I try to joke, people think Iā€™m being rude. I donā€™t know if thatā€™s a tone issue on my part, or if the joke is in poor taste or seems more mean than just a joke (when I only ever intended for it to be a joke). Also for clarification, none of my jokes are ever racist or homophobic or anything, and I never try to be mean when I joke
ā€¢ Special object: I donā€™t think I have one, unless you consider my phone. I donā€™t go anywhere without it lol. But like little things to fidget with, that bring me comfort, I donā€™t really have that. I just fidget with my hands, I guess.
ā€¢ Verbal Instructions: Those are really hard for me to follow. If I only have verbal instructions and not readable ones, you can bet itā€™s a lot harder to get the thing done. I usually need a lot of clarification or things repeated to me, although thatā€™s partially due to deafness. (I donā€™t think entirely, though.)
Other things about me that may or may not be relevant/important for you to know:
- I am aroace (no sexual or romantic attraction for anyone)
- I think Iā€™m aplatonic too, and mostly anattractional (or grey-attractional, if thatā€™s a thing). Online friends are easier for me than irl friends. I donā€™t even know what qualifies as a friendship
- Iā€™m deaf (but I already explained that). I do hear with my Cochlear Implants, but I know itā€™s not that exact same as hearing people. I donā€™t know if thatā€™s why Iā€™m not as hypersensitive to loud sounds, or if Iā€™m just not hypersensitive at all. (I donā€™t think this is something you could help clarify, though, seeing as itā€™s specific to me.)
I have taken a few autism tests and gotten answers like ā€œyou have moderate autism symptomsā€ or even ā€œhigh symptomsā€ sometimes. For ADHD, the test answers ranged from ā€œNoā€ to ā€œPotentiallyā€ to ā€œModerate ADHDā€. (Donā€™t worry, I know that the tests arenā€™t meant to be substituted for the real thing. I just took them to try and see where I fit, if there were any indicators, etc.)
I am planning to talk to my mom soon and see if itā€™s possible for me to get a diagnosis. Things arenā€™t too hard for me right now, but I am getting older and I genuinely donā€™t know how Iā€™m going to live on my own ā€” which isnā€™t entirely related to this, but I feel like if I need help, I should get diagnosed as soon as possible. (If I have it at all.)
Basically, my reason for posting this was to get a second opinion, especially from people who are autistic themselves. Does this sound like autism or ADHD or something else entirely? (Is it possible to have both that have symptoms that cancel each other out?) Am I just neurotypical, but like, weird?
I want to be clear, I know you canā€™t diagnose me and I should see a professional. I just wanted a second opinion, in case itā€™s just me overthinking everything.
Also, Iā€™m so sorry for this being so long. Itā€™s probably a pain to read. Iā€™m just trying to be as specific as possible.
Hi there,
Iā€™m sorry Iā€™m just getting to this. My goodness this was a long inbox! Lol.
This was very thorough and detailed, so it was nice to read. Nice formatting too.
I would say some traits align. But like you said, Iā€™m not a professional. So I canā€™t really say. Iā€™m curious about what my followers think too. Hopefully some chime in.
I would recommend writing what you told me here down to bring with you during an assessment, if you have one. This will be very helpful when determining a diagnosis. As itā€™s very detailed and thorough.
Hopefully this helps. Thank you for the inbox. I hope you have a wonderful day/night. ā™„ļø

Part 2 of random thoughts and ideas for my and @incorrectranmaquotes Ranma/MHA crossover AU (There will be some general headcanons included too :P)
As mentioned in a previous post, Ranma has ADHD, but he went undiagnosed for years because... well, do you honestly believe Genma would take his son to a doctor for that?
His typical stims include bouncing his leg and absent-mindedly fiddling with objects in his hand, like squeezing stress balls (which doubles as helping him regulate his strength) or spinning a pen or pencil around his fingers (helps practice dexterity)
When Recovery Girl privately informed him of the possibility of him having ADHD... he didn't take it well...
Speaking of Recovery Girl, for a while, Ranma absolutely DID NOT trust her due to his... history with short old ladies
Jiro and Momo had to physically DRAG him to her office after he twisted his ankle (he was practising acrobatics and slipped on an unstable rock). Even after being healed, he was still very suspicious of her
Believe it or not, the boy can sing, but he doesn't do it very often. It's usually an unconscious habit to pass the time.
For a while, Ranma had this god-awful flip phone that just.. BARELY worked anymore, like I'm talking parts of the casing were broken off, it would cut out randomly and he had to very strongly resist the urge to throw it against the wall every time is messed up
Momo eventually ended up gifting him a new one. This made him mentally bluescreen for a bit because he's not used to getting such nice gifts
He actually gets kinda awkward when Momo gives him expensive gifts. He doesn't want her to feel like he's taking advantage of her wealth (Like his father would)
As a way of trying to pay her back, he ends up teaching her some martial arts and learning how to make bracelets and necklaces for her. She has kept every single one
The boy is EXTREMELY touch-starved, think that one scene from Lilo and Stitch were Lilo puts a lei on Stitch, and he just collapses
Unsurprisingly, Ranma is very out of the loop in terms of pop culture. Kaminari has not recovered
That's all for now
My brain has become slugs

>he used to have one on the game in tails's special interest section djbdjdbrbd
knuckles
autism :]] i wanna say he has ocd too, but i want to research that a bit more before i, like, fully commit to that hc (though, those with it/educated on it more than i am are welcome to share their opinions on it didbdjdn)
stims;
>chews on thingss
>cracking his knuckles n other joints
>humming
sensory issues;
>struggles to focus in busy areas
>overwhelmed by strong sounds
>loud noises djdbjdnf
special interest;
>the master+chaos emeralds
hyperfixation;
>history abt things on the surface
other things;
>while mint is his favorite, chili dogs are tails' comfort food
>he's also super clingy w/ sonic n knuckles
>sonic's a visual thinkr
>knuckles tends to be kinda unaware of awkward moments
>meanwhile; tails is hyper-aware of awkward moments
>they all go non verbal at times
>sonic has low/no empathy
>tails has high empathy
>they all struggle with normal society stuff djebejd it's confusing
>tails pays a lot of attention to details
>they all struggle with maintaining eye contact, but sonic struggles the most
all of them are diagnosed by tails because doctor visits are rough for them
(basically i headcanon that doctors are kinda more worried about what makes sonic, tails, n knuckles so different from tiger mobians rather than focusing on making them better {it sucks being rlly different sometimes})

. . .
How did you eat pencil lead?
(Also no you shouldn't die unless it was a ton, for future reference please do not eat more pencil lead.)
ok so I was working on my assignments alright I have to draw 9 different types of maps and submit them by 29th. And here's the thing, when I get too immersed in something I start stimming. This time it was spinning my pencil and biting the end every now and then. I was SO deep in analysing the data I didn't realize which end I was bringing to my mouth. You can guess the rest.
