[do-u-know-this-autisticcharacter]

Do you know a character you like or love that is autistic or you believe is autistic, even if the show/author etc hasn't actually said so.

We welcome submissions from any genre except what is in our banned media, we allow characters who are good and bad.

Banned media: Community or fan driven/written etc media. AI characters.

However, nothing else is banned. You can submit characters from any other media and any genre (good or evil):

~ Books ~ Comedy ~ Horror movies ~ Anime and Manga ~ Western Animation ~ Marvel or DC ~ Foreign/non English TV/media ~ Computer/console games ~ Silent films ~ Indie films ~ media from your childhood ~ Youtube Characters ~ Sci Fi etc ~

Please note, you MUST include evidence or proof or we won't accept the submission. We don't require much evidence, but there needs to something other than "just vibes" or "their whole family is autistic" (we don't know the family my friend).

Proof we do accept include - obsessive tendencies, has no social boundaries, nonverbal communication or delayed language development etc. Or even if creator of said character said so in a social media post etc.

We will only accept submissions through the submission form.

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

The spreadsheet of submitted characters is here.

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

More about us below the cut!

Mod Pixie (she/they): I'm 36 and have been on Tumblr since minimally 2012, so I have Seen Some Things™️.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks again for stopping by!

[dragon-curse-au]

Strange artifacts have been appearing around Earthbread after a rift split open the skies for but a moment; Cookies that come into contact with them become cursed with the ability to turn into dragons. While this may not initially be threatening, the potential for it to turn the tides of the war against Dark Enchantress Cookie is very worrying. Though, perhaps just this once, her and her forces are the least of our problems. A dark force has begun to stir in Beast-Yeast, and it is making itself known with a grand performance of the likes no cookie has seen before. If a Beast were to get their hands on an Ancient with but a fraction of the power a dragon holds, it could mean the end of all things as we know it.

Welcome to the official blog for the Dragon Curse AU, run by me, Canid ( @cryptidcanid19 ), and my years-long-best-friend Dragon ( @artdragon122 ). This whole thing started with them, so go give him some love and appreciation!! I myself will be writing a fic for this AU, but we'll both be providing plenty of art as well, let alone late night musings that we came up with while brainstorming.

Asks are always open if you have questions, suggestions, or just comments. Can be character specific or broad enough for the AU as a whole! All WE ask for is to be nice, y'know? Don't be problematic.

This AU will contain 16+ material because of some of the darker tones and sometimes mildly suggestive content (mostly through jokes), so please keep that in mind. And, singing it loud and clear in case it isn't your thing: This HEAVILY revolves around shipping, with some relationships much more prominent than others. Every character is queer somehow. Again, restating to be nice. If any of this isn't your thing there's this lovely thing called a block button at your disposal :]

That being said, enjoy! We're just having fun here and sharing our thoughts. Most if not all posts will be organized by tags, including specific characters, which mod made the post, whether something is an art post or not, etc. I'll add in a little tag guide in a reblog once we get things sorted out.

Dance with the Devil, Bitch-chan - Latio Sakamaki

Laito Sakamaki.

Vampire, sadist, menace. Calls you Bitch-chan like it’s a love letter and a death sentence, sugar-dipped poison that lingers on his tongue. Problematic in ways that can’t be fixed—wouldn’t fix them if he could. He likes it like that. Likes you like that—messy, breathless, teetering between desire and disaster. And tonight? Tonight, he’s taking you to a ball.

A normal date? Please. You should’ve known better. With Laito, there’s always a twist.

He shows up at your door looking like trouble dressed in green velvet. Sharp lines, sharper teeth. The kind of man mothers warn you about—if they have any sense. And when he smiles, slow and wicked, you know exactly what kind of night you’re in for. His hand brushes your jaw, tilts your face up so he can drink you in.

"Mmm… You’re so cute when you try to play innocent, Bitch-chan." His voice is honey and sin, warm enough to make your knees weak. “But you dressed up for me, didn’t you? How sweet.”

He picked the dress. Of course he did. Black lace, sheer in all the right places, with a thigh-high slit that says you’re not getting through the night untouched. He traces his fingers along the hem, just to tease, just because he can.

"Shall we?"

The ballroom is decadence itself—gold chandeliers dripping crystals, polished marble floors that gleam under your heels. Elegant, grand, the kind of place where fairy tales might start. But this isn’t a fairy tale. Not with Laito. He’s not here to play prince.

And everyone’s watching.

He twirls you onto the dance floor like he owns it—like he owns you. And maybe he does. At least for tonight. One hand on your waist, the other clasping yours in a mockery of propriety. His touch is light, but there’s a promise in it. A threat.

"Relax, Bitch-chan." A whisper against your temple, warm breath sending shivers down your spine. “Unless you want them all to see how much you like it.”

You’re not fooling anyone. Not with the way your breath catches when he pulls you closer. Not with the way his thumb strokes slow, lazy circles against your waist—right where his hand doesn’t belong. It’s a game to him. Always a game. And you? You’re his favorite plaything.

His mouth finds the curve of your ear. “What’s wrong? You’re shaking.” The mock concern in his voice is infuriating. Addicting. “Nervous? Or are you just that eager?”

He knows the answer. He just wants to hear you admit it.

The waltz moves on. You try to keep your composure, but Laito doesn’t play fair. Never has. His hand drifts lower—too low. Just a brush of fingers against your thigh, barely there, but it’s enough to make heat coil in your stomach. And he knows it.

He laughs when you stiffen in his arms, quiet but wicked. “Ah, ah. Don’t be shy, Bitch-chan. Isn’t this what you wanted?” His lips graze your skin as he speaks, a feather-light touch that’s anything but innocent.

No one else can hear him. But they’re watching. You feel their eyes—curious, envious. Because Laito isn’t subtle, and he doesn’t care. Not when he’s got you trembling in his arms, half-dizzy from the heat of his body and the dangerous gleam in his eyes.

"You look so pretty like this," he muses, more to himself than to you. “Maybe I should keep you all to myself… but where’s the fun in that?”

The song changes, slower now. More intimate. And Laito takes full advantage. His hold tightens, dragging you flush against him as he sways to the rhythm. He smells like spice and something darker—something dangerous.

"I wonder," he murmurs, his voice softer now, almost thoughtful. “If I kissed you right here… would you let me?”

It’s not really a question. You both know he’s going to do it anyway.

And when his lips finally brush against yours, it’s nothing sweet. It’s possession—deep, slow, deliberate. A reminder that you’re his tonight. His to tease. His to break. His to devour.

Your heart stutters in your chest, but he doesn’t let you pull away. Not yet. Not until he’s satisfied. And when he finally breaks the kiss, he’s smiling that lazy, predatory smile again.

"Careful, Bitch-chan," he purrs, thumb brushing your bottom lip. “You might give people the wrong idea. Unless…” He tilts his head, mock-innocent. “…you want them to know you’re mine.”

He doesn’t wait for your answer. Doesn’t need to. His hand slips lower—too bold, too much—and you swallow a gasp. His touch burns through silk and lace, and the look in his eyes says he’s only getting started.

"Oops," he says, utterly unapologetic. “I just can’t help myself around you.”

You should be angry. You should shove him away, leave him to his games. But you don’t. You never do. Because no matter how much he teases, no matter how far he pushes, there’s something addictive about the way he wants you.

And he does. Wants you, needs you, in that desperate, consuming way that only Laito can.

By the time the music fades, your legs feel like jelly and your heart’s pounding in your chest. But Laito? He’s perfectly composed. Always is. Except for the gleam in his eyes—that hungry, dangerous gleam that promises you’re not leaving this ballroom without marks on your skin.

He presses one last kiss to your temple, deceptively sweet. “Ready to go home, Bitch-chan?”

Like you have a choice.

And when he leads you away from the glittering lights and curious eyes, you know one thing for certain—whatever comes next?

You’ll be feeling it for days.

🐺House of Alphas🐺

(Jujutsu Kaisen Omegaverse )

Summary: Waking up in a world that was not your own was problematic enough. Being the villainess was another. However, the possessive alphas might take the cake.

Disclaimer: Angsty but I ain’t Gege

Omega!Reader x Alpha!Sukuna x Alpha!Gojo x Alpha!Toji x Alpha!Nanami x Alpha!Getou

Chapter 63: Chi Village

~

...

The further south you went the hotter it became. Soon you were wearing but a bralette and skirt while your alphas went shirtless.

Sometimes you hated how damn attractive they were, especially watching as they set up camp. Nanami found the perfect spot under the shade, away from the burning sun. Your blanket was laid out for you as you sat watching your alphas. Their muscles tensed nicely and any sheen of sweat that glistened upon their skin made your mouth water. Anywhere you moved your gaze you couldn't be free from those sexy beasts so you looked up into the trees, eyeing the lush leaves above.

To be honest you could just go over to either of them and just… grab them- you know they wouldn't mind- hell they would love it. Or you could just call one over. With a snap of your fingers, you could be in lust land. Being devoured beautifully... However, there was a lot that weighed on your mind. Sex was not your only concern. You had to worry about your mission to save the world among other things. The Chi village, Junpei, Mahito, Yuta… Kobeq, Haibara… and many many other things. There was just too much! Who had time to think about hot sexy sweaty alpha knots and cum and-fuck!

“I want to get lunch.” you spoke as you stood swiftly. Your dirty mind is annoying you.

Your alphas looked toward you with raised brows.

Toji looked confused, “If you are hungry princess we can get you food. What do you want?” He questioned as he threw down his tent, not even worried about it anymore…the call of his omega seemingly more important to him.

That damn caring daddy of yours.

You waved your hand at him, “No, I want to do it. It’s hard for me to track things… my nose sucks so I want to get better at it.”

“Why?” Gojo questioned.

Nanami released a light chuckle, “You know our omega likes to do things herself.”

“An omega that hunts.” Getou snorted at the very idea.

“What?” you shrug not knowing why that seemed so far-fetched. Where were all your strong independent omegas?

“Nothing sweetheart, it's cute that you like to do things yourself.”

You felt a little shy now as you shifted in your spot, “Well I think it would be beneficial for me to be a bit independent, even though I love you guys spoiling me I might become rotten.”

“We don't min-.”

“Tch- what? What are we supposed to do if she does everything herself.” Your white-haired alpha frowned. “She won't need us anymore.”

You let out a joyous laugh as you walked to Gojo, “I will always need my alphas, especially my troublemaker.” You kiss his cheek playfully then wave to no one in particular. “Come on time is wasting! Who’s gonna help me?”

“Isn't the answer obvious?” Sukuna sheaths his hunter knife already coming towards you.

“I will go too.” Toji volunteered. “ I got the best sense of smell after all.” he grinned tapping his nose.

Getou mused lightly, twirling his hair around a finger,“ Perhaps I should go so I can be a better hunter juuuuust in case Nanami tries to punish us again.”

Nanami gasped, “That was-”

“I might as well go too!” Gojo huffed cutting the blonde off, “I gotta be a good providing alpha for you!”

“You do provide Satoru!” You roll your eyes amid the conversation.

Your blonde brushed his hands upon his pants, “I will also attend. There's never no room for improvement.”

Sukuna growled, “What the hell are we all going!?”

You brighten up at the idea, ”Wait, that would be good! It would be like a training session!”

“Aawh-” Getou began to groan until you looked toward him. “-whhh I love those. So~ so much fun.” you could tell his earlier comment was said as a joke but you weren't gonna let him take it back!

On "Coming Out" and Noel Fielding

I mentioned forever ago that I had this post in mind and then never got around to it, but now with the new interview quote I was yelling about recently it feels like a particularly good time to get it out of my brain and onto the page! tl;dr: musings on the concept of "coming out" as it has evolved over time, whether it's something that should continue to be necessary or expected of queer people, and why Noel is particularly inspirational to me in that regard since this is, after all, my brainrot blog. This may be extremely long and a bit disjointed but I hope some of y'all will enjoy it!

So a while ago myself and several friends were discussing the concept of coming out. All of us are some flavor of queer both in gender and orientation, but each is in a different place along their self discovery and identity journey, with some being long since out and proud, and others just starting to dip their toes into exploration past the expected cishet.

This discussion actually was prompted by a different discussion about Noel, spurred by comments we'd come across slamming him as being homophobic/transphobic on Bakeoff for making comments suggesting he has romantic or sexual attraction towards Paul, referring to himself with female-centric terms, playing female characters in the skits, and a particular moment where he brings up Old Gregg while talking to KimJoy and says "he was a sea transsexual....quite a demanding role for me" while laughing to indicate that that last part was said in jest. Hey fellas, is it homophobic/transphobic to be a little bit gay and trans? This got us talking about how the current culture of queer identity has evolved to the point where "coming out" feels more like something the public feels they're owed in order for them to view one's expression as valid, rather than its original purpose as something one does for themself in order to live most authentically. I don't think I need to go into detail about how many artists have been harassed by their "fans" into coming out before they were ready because people wouldn't accept the validity of that person's work without knowing exactly how that person identified, there've been plenty of articles and video essays and better written tumblr posts about that, but it's definitely a concerning trend. It can be particularly dangerous when it comes to people who aren't feeling confident or safe enough to come out, who end up being criticized and shunned by the queer community as being somehow problematic for not being able to fully articulate to a group of strangers the ways in which they're experiencing their identity. In this situation, the people who are struggling the most end up with the least support. Forcing people to either declare an identity or get out just leads to more people staying closeted out of fear of doing it "wrong" and never getting the chance to explore the most authentic and joyful versions of themselves, or even worse, feeling the need to out themselves before they're in a safe place to do so and suffering the resulting consequences. Questioning or cautious people deserve space in the community to experiment even if they haven't yet or maybe never will come out! My high school's Gay Straight Alliance was comprised entirely of "straight allies" when I was there. There was not a single "out" person in the school at the time. Nearly all of us in the GSA ended up being some flavor of queer or trans years later after graduation. But whether it was intentional closeting or just feeling an innate affinity towards something we couldn't quite pinpoint at the time, we all knew we belonged there and made that space for ourselves and others like us. Back when "coming out" first became a concept in the public consciousness, it was during a time where cishet identity was not just considered the default, but the only option. By coming out, queer people were giving genuinely revolutionary representation for themselves and others like them by telling the world that, as the old saying goes, we're here, we're queer, get used to it! Nowadays, we're lucky to live in a culture that is much more cognizant of queer identities being a thing, so in many cases coming out has become less about having to explain to those around you the basic concept of queerness existing, and moreso about which specific identity you fall under, and that's where things get messy.

My friends and I shared our own thoughts and experiences. One is currently identifying as "unlabeled" because they haven't found a term that feels correct yet, and therefore hasn't come out because they wouldn't know what to say. One spoke about how when they first came out they were much more insistent on what terms or pronouns people used for them but as time has gone on they've grown to find joy in being inscrutable and letting others wonder what they're perceiving. One expressed that given the state of the world they've been retreating somewhat back into the closet for safety reasons rather than being super outward with their queerness like they used to and is working on learning to embrace those parts of themself again. One said they felt like they'd already been existing as queer and expressing that queerness "before I even had the terms to come out to myself" and is now working on catching up on the conscious end of figuring out what's what. I myself never really had an official "coming out", I just became increasingly visually/socially/vocally queer as I became more and more confident in who I was and what I wanted to be and who I had on some level always been, and decided if people didn't get the hint that's their own problem. I came into consciousness of my queerness during the early 2010s original tumblr MOGAI microlabel boom, where there was a ton of focus on figuring out the hyper specific identity labels that exactly described what you were experiencing. I did a lot of digging and soul searching and experienced a lot of unnecessary stress trying and failing to find my perfect labels and landed on clumsy terms like "full time drag queen" because it was the closest I could get to what I was feeling about my gender, only to be told it was problematic for me to call myself that as an AFAB person because drag "belongs to cis gay men" (don't get me started on that statement, that's a whole other essay lol) It was a real wake up call once I distanced from these aggressively labeled and segmented online spaces and made my way into real world queer communities where I was relieved to find that in fact no one there asks to check your membership card before letting you in, if you feel like you belong there you're welcome no questions asked.

I had other people in these communities referring to me as "queer" and "fag" and "gay" and "queen" before I felt comfortable doing so myself based on online Discourse I'd experienced over who is Allowed to use certain terms, and having these community leaders I respected recognizing those things in me and welcoming me in like that gave me the confidence to really find my own footing in ways that attempting to find my exact correct identity label so that I could officially proclaim it never did. Once I could answer the question of what I was with a shrug and "queer I guess!" things became so much easier. Microlabels can be incredibly helpful and liberating for some, don't get me wrong if it works for you that's great, but let's not pretend that everyone is going to have the same experiences.

So anyway, back to Noel. Noel has never, to my knowledge, ever had any sort of official “coming out” or explicitly referred to himself as queer. So I know there are people out there who will disagree with me considering him to be queer. But so much of what he’s said and done throughout his several decades long career has indicated to me that this is clearly someone of queer experience navigating the world as such, and just as the queers in my local community welcomed me as one of them before I knew to do it myself, I extend that welcome forward. 

Let’s take a look at some of the facts. In the public span of his career, Noel has.....(in no particular order, also if anyone wants to add additional instances of note in the reblogs or comments please feel free, this is by no means a fully comprehensive list) -repeatedly called himself "the woman of the Boosh" or Julian's/Howard's "wife" in ways that suggest that's how he actually felt about it rather than it just being a punchline that he was mistaken for female in the show [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] -referred to himself at the GQ "Man of the Year" awards as "never been a man" and "a sort of girl, he/she" -been referred to by Sandi Toksvig as being "on the cusp" in regards to gender, to which he reacts with amusement and acceptance -consistently expressed excitement and appreciation when others refer to him with feminine terms or say he looks like a girl [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] -said "I love being a man-woman, it's much more interesting than being one or the other" and expressed that the loved shooting the Boosh Electro episode for this reason -referred to Vince Noir (a character who he's been pretty open about being based on himself) as "wasn't seemingly one gender or the other" -expressed that he felt most free and happy when presenting femininely [2] -had Julian, one of the people closest to him, express that Noel and Sandi (an out lesbian) may have "real sexual chemistry" because Noel is "all over the shop, he's a different sex" -used the "Confuser" line of "Is it a boy? Is it a girl? I'm not sure I mind" to refer to himself rather than Vince, and express that he's had to work to find new ways to feel as androgynous as he'd like now that he's older -referred to himself as a lesbian [2] -said that he "sometimes looks in the mirror and sees a woman", in the same interview that Julian implies that Noel is in fact a girl -referred to himself as a "girl/boy" -consistently referred to himself with feminine terms on panel shows and bakeoff -made a joke on bakeoff about not being a testosterone-based person -responded positively when asked about the ways Boosh had influenced queer and nonbinary youth -has said he's "quite obsessed with the man/woman mixup thing" -has said if he was an animal he'd want to be a seahorse because the males get pregnant -Had Lee Mack, who Noel used to live with, refer to him as "the little transsexual one, yeah I think she's fantastic" in a Boosh documentary and "a young lady who came out here happy to be herself" in response to Noel's Wuthering Heights drag performance -had his own mother refer to him as "the daughter I always wanted" -described his own appearance as that of a "transsexual witch" and when an interviewer attempted to make fun of him for calling himself "a transgender witch" by showing Noel a drawing the interviewer clearly found repulsive, Noel responded that the interviewer was "holding up a mirror" and called the image his passport photo

And I'm not even going to bother citing sources on the countless times he's made comments suggesting romantic or sexual attraction towards men. Literally just watch any non-character appearance he's ever done, it's kind of his whole thing??? Not to mention his penchant for picking up explicitly queer and gnc character roles, and also just [gestures vaguely to everything Noel and Julian have said about each other suggesting romantic and sexual tension between them and how they used their characters as an excuse to explore those feelings in a less scary way, again that could be a whole other essay on its own but ooh boy] I also think there's something interesting to explore in the idea of Noel repeatedly referring to his appearance as transgender or transsexual rather than identifying himself as such- at what point does the appearance of something become reality?

It all begs the question- is it even a joke anymore if it's that consistent? Either it's not a joke and it's an authentic expression of his real feelings and experiences, or he for some reason really really wants everyone to believe that he's queer when he's not, with this behavior spanning back to a time before the concept of queerbaiting was on anyone's minds and when being publicly queer could mean the end of your career. Which scenario do you think is more likely? And, does someone who’s been conducting themself like this for their entire career really NEED to come out? Honestly, I find this level of simultaneous authenticity and inscrutability aspirational.

In this Velvet Onion interview from 2012, Noel compares his penchant for dresses to both Grayson Perry and Eddie Izzard. This is interesting because those two people represent pretty opposite intentions behind their presentation- Grayson identifies solidly as cis male, and for him the shock value of crossdressing is the point, saying “I signed up for a gender and I want them to be very clearly delineated so I know I’m dressing up in the wrong clothes.” This doesn't seem particularly in line with where Noel is coming from given him famously referring to himself as "the Confuser" and stating in that same Velvet Onion interview that he "never even bothered giving it a label, I never went oh I'm a transvestite, I just went yeah if I fancy wearing a dress I do, never really thought about it really" Eddie on the other hand has famously said "They're not women's clothes. They're my clothes, I bought them." indicating that they were a genuine part of her authentic expression rather than a crossdressing costume, and has subsequently over the years identified more and more solidly as transfemme. I find Eddie's trajectory particularly fascinating because it's been so non-linear. In the 90s when the language for transness was much less public knowledge, she referred to herself consistently as a transvestite- a cishet man who enjoyed dressing as a woman, as well as using terms like "male tomboy" and "male lesbian" and "a full boy plus extra girl". Despite doing most of her standup shows in femme looks, most of her acting jobs were male-presenting, and there was a period of time in the 2010s where she dropped the femme presentation entirely in an attempt to be taken more seriously as the "crossdressing" was seen by many as a gimmick. Swinging back around more recently, Eddie has been explicitly identifying as genderfluid and transfemme, and in recent years has made the decision to "be based in girl mode from now on", and use primarily she/her pronouns. Since this announcement, in her trans advocacy work Eddie has described herself as being "out" as trans since the 1980s despite all of the above. She always knew who she was, it's just she's gotten access to more accurate terms over time to describe what she was experiencing, as well as feeling more safe to do so the more that transness became a known and accepted concept in the public eye.

The interview I mentioned at the very start of this post isn't really a coming out from Noel. And I don't think we'll ever really get one from him. In my opinion Noel has spent the past several decades conducting himself as someone who is in fact already out- it’s pretty clear Noel knows and is proud of who he is regardless of how he chooses to describe that identity. At this point, making some sort of official statement would just be for the benefit of others looking for clarification on their own perception of him and people who want to be able to put him in one box or another, and that’s not what coming out should be. The statement in the new interview is not "I am genderfluid", its "I've always been genderfluid", simply putting an accurate name to what's always been publicly visibly true now that he's got the terms to do so.

Greetings!

I am esteemed researcher and “unusualogist” Stanford F. Pines. My niece and nephew, alongside an older friend of theirs, have suggested I create a “blog” on this site. So here I am!

Please forgive me if I make any mistakes or misunderstand the functions of “Tumblr”. I’m still getting used to cellphones as a whole and this rather small screen is difficult to navigate.

Upon further inquiry, my niece explained to me the concept of a “DNI” or “Do Not Interact” list. I will now be creating my own.

Do Not Interact if: You are within the good intentions of 46’\ Bill Cipher, You engage in the creation or spreading of content that puts me or my family into compromising situations, or You engage with or create “shipping” content of me or my family in problematic manners.

I have also been informed of personal “tags” used to identify and label content. Here are my own.

#My research – Implied in title; any online documentation of my research within or outside of published work.

#Personal anecdotes – Occasionally I may share the happenings around me or a particular thought from my past as I’ve heard users of this site tend to do.

#My musings – Similar to anecdotes, however these are loose unconnected thoughts. Hardly tell a story.

#So! Many! Questions! – Any of my responses to the “ask” feature.

These are all I have in mind at the moment, but I will be updating this list as they are created.

Thus is my introduction! Feel free to ask any/all questions you may have about me or my research. Knowledge is power, after all!

Sincerely, Stanford F. Pines.

She has her tipping point, and Roy just activated it! I think the situation with her father has also made her a lot more intolerant of men's erm, disappointing behaviour.

@justanothersimsblog

Anya, I like you, but I kinda want to suggest you go and enjoy Paris regardless

I couldn't agree more! Although the fact that she doesn't care that she might be risking her trip does show that she has very strong principles. If it was me I'd be waiting until I got on the plane to rip him a new one!😄

@kscriba

I second this lol Also so she and Mia can have a crossover ;)

@gittessimsadventuresog

ooh yes just a solo girls trip

That would be so tempting, but she really does love him despite his flaws and was so looking forward to going to the concert with him and holidaying together in the romance capital of the world. He just pushed her that little bit too far when they were in the VIP lounge and she lost her temper. I don't think Roy even realised she had a temper prior to this!

@pixeldistractions

I think Anya is answering all of her own questions already.

Yeah, Roy can continue to sulk, it's unlikely he'd have anything of value to contribute to the conversation any way!😄

@batsheba

And he handles it like any manchild would, LOL, by sulking and passive aggression.... seriously Roy!

Sulking and passive aggression would tip me over the edge...I'd much prefer confrontation and active aggression, lol!

@parystrange

Girl, just collect your luggage and leave! Got to paris yourself or go home. Don't pander to his bullshit.

@zosa95

Manbaby, indeed! I’d get on the plane with or without him lol

@parystrange and @zosa95 I know that would be the most sensible thing to do but tragically I think she'd feel too guilty to fly to Paris without him. She'd feel as if she was taking advantage of him, or that she was acting like a gold digger. And despite his infuriating behaviour, she still loves him. She doesn't want to go to Paris by herself.

@muses-circle

Roy is already good at making a fool of himself in public, Anya. No need to make it worse. Might want to consider walking away if he refuses to talk, though.

@gittessimsadventuresog

manbaby alert

@sweetnovember77

"Can we discuss ways to resolve this?” should have been the initial proposal instead of launching insults. You can't speak to people in that manner in real life and anticipate their cooperation. I hope Roy’s pride isn’t too damaged, but everything occurs for a purpose. Perhaps Anya should confront her disappointment in her father. I believe that concern is causing her patience to dwindle.

That's a very perspicacious comment regarding Anya's father. Her tolerance of BS and problematic behaviour is at an all-time low thanks to the recent revelations, and she would not have been getting much sleep lately either which would have further eroded her patience. However I think she was totally fair to criticise Roy for missing the plane and for being so blase about the whole situation even if her delivery may have been a little...harsh. But on the other hand, there are many who have applauded her for her take no prisoners approach!

@greywardenconsort

Isn't this Roy's vacation too? Was he being a dunderhead? Yes but he was having a laugh & a drink with a friend and Anya's traveled before, she knows how to see when the plane is boarding or go ask anyway. Is she HIS partner in this adventure just a passenger princess? How about an "oh hey honey we need to get to the gate or we'll miss our flight. Johno so nice to meet you I hope to see you again when we aren't so pressed for time. Let's get a move on honey" Like an adult.

Until recently poor Anya was labouring under the misapprehension that a successful, wealthy professional who was twelve years her senior would also be someone who was responsible, mature, and level-headed. Roy can definitely be all those things in the boardroom, but in his personal life he all too often lets his party animal trait rule, particularly when he is in holiday mode as he is here! Interestingly Anya doesn't seem to mind too much about his immaturity or lack of responsibility when he's sharing drugs with her and nightclubbing till 9 in the morning, so I think her judgment of Roy at the airport could definitely be viewed as being a little bit hypocritical. Yes, it's true she could also have taken on the full responsibility of ensuring they didn't miss their flight, but that is not a sexy power dynamic and I don't blame her for wanting to avoid being the 'take charge' person in the relationship, although it's becoming more and more apparent that in many situations she's going to have to take on that role. Anyway, when she asked Roy whether they should be making their way to the gate but he brushed off her concerns and told her that the plane wouldn't leave without them and that an announcement would be made on the VIP Lounge's PA system. It was her first time visiting a VIP lounge, and she made the fatal error of trusting Roy's word. I don't blame her for being angry with him for telling her fibs.

@sweetnovember77

THIS! Anya's behavior was entirely unacceptable. Roy deserves an apology.

@coreene-simblr

She told him that they should be going to the Gate. Roy insisted they were going to announce it in the lounge...

Absolutely! And she had never been inside a VIP lounge before, whereas Roy was a seasoned visitor. She believed him when he said the plane wouldn't leave without them and that an announcement would be made. Why shouldn't she? And when it turned out that he was fibbing/ talking out his arse, she was understandably angry.

@greywardenconsort

@coreene-simblr Airlines have apps that will update you on the flight status. I would expect someone travel savvy like Anya (She & Roy reconnected in an airport) would know that. I know if I was traveling with a partner I would have that and know our flight number and gate and departure time. So I don't think that Roy not knowing gets her off the hook for her part in this kerfuffle.

Good points, but again she trusted Roy when he said that the plane wouldn't leave without them etc and as mentioned previously she also thought she could trust him to be responsible and take the lead. Obviously she made an error of judgement, and this is probably one of the reasons it's often said that you never really know someone until you travel with them!

@nectar-cellar

i love all the extras you cast for these crowded public scenes

Thank you! I have a lot of fun dressing them and posing them. It's time-consuming but rewarding. And the fact that you love them makes it even more so!

@coreene-simblr

Sulking and not talking is definitely something an adult would do Roy xD can't be too mad at Anya for not leaving as someone who gives idiots way too many chances, so I get it.

And she still loves him, even if the scales are slowly falling from her eyes! This is the first fight real they've had, and while it's unfortunate it had to happen on the way to what should have been the most romantic trip of their lives, maybe it could signal a promising new chapter in their relationship...one that's more honest, empathetic, and not burdened with unrealistic expectations.

The Underground (Part 1) | #LeviMonth2024 Angst Two-Shot

✧ word count ➼ ~1.6k ✧ notes ➼ mafia!au, mafia boss!levi x assassin!reader, very brief alcohol mention, loosely based off the longfic i've been attempting to write for a year 😭, gets pretty angsty but will be more comfort in part 2 (✿◡‿◡) ✧ comments ➼ levi month entry for august 24! posting part 2 on 08/28 with the secret relationship prompt ☺️ ✧ join my levi month taglist here!

{{ August 22 (Love At First Sight + Neighbors Part 2) | August 25 (Drunk) }} Masterlist

The Underground was a dangerous place. There were enemies around every corner and any allies formed were only temporary. Anyone that thought otherwise generally did not survive for very long.

You were hired to kill a major ally of the mafia at a Gala in which multiple underground organizations would be attending. The target itself wasn't anyone too special and the sheer number of casual guests made it so that the mission itself wouldn't have been too hard to accomplish, other than one factor: the fact that Levi Ackerman was the mafia boss.

Even that wouldn't have been as problematic if you hadn't been sleeping with him. You convinced yourself that it was nothing other than a mutually beneficial relationship sexually, but the realistic part of you knew that wasn't the case.

Still, Levi wasn't your priority tonight. You just had to kill your target. That was all that mattered. You just had to gamble on the luck that Levi wouldn't catch sight of you beforehand.

You stalked closer to your target, with a slow-acting poison hidden under your sleeve. All you had to do was get close to your target, spike his drink, and then leave.

Levi saw you almost immediately. It had nothing to do with how well you were blending in. He just knew you well enough to be able to tell that it was you based on your stature and the way you moved around the room.

For the first time since getting involved with you, Levi's emotions started to overwhelm him and cloud his ability to make rational decisions. He had always been able to keep any potential personal matters at an arm's length, but his growing affection for you continuously blurred those boundaries.

You tensed as you noticed that Levi had begun weaving through the crowd to get to you. Knowing that you wouldn't be able to lose him with how close he already was, you made your way over to the bar to grab a glass of champagne in an attempt to seem nonchalant.

"Of all the places I'd expect to run into you," he muttered softly, his footsteps gentle as he stepped up behind you, leaning against one of the bar stools with his hands in his pockets. "This was not one of them."

"...what are you doing here, Levi?" you asked as you elegantly sipped on the champagne, appearing unfazed by his presence.

Levi tilted his head slightly, a small smirk tugging at his lips, which was almost imperceptible beneath his stoic exterior.

"Well, aren't we formal tonight?" he mused. "I could ask you the same question—but I have my suspicions as to what your true purpose is here."

Your eyes darted to the side in his general direction. "...who says I'm not just here for the food and drink?"

"Food and drink, huh?" he said, his voice laced with skepticism as his eyebrows furrowed together into a frown. "That's it? You're not even trying to convince me."

"I have nothing to convince you of. You're the one that's paranoid about me being anything other than just a casual guest tonight."

Levi snorted at your audacity, seeing right through your facade. Your movements, the way you kept checking for exits—they were all signs that he could see through. It was subtle, and barely present, but present enough for him to notice.

He leaned in close to you, whispering directly into your ear.

"Your fucking behavior," he growled. "If you were really here as a 'casual guest', then why were you avoiding me?"

"And avoiding you automatically means I'm working for the enemy?" you questioned in an amused tone. "Newsflash, but maybe I just didn't want to see you."

"Quit lying out of your ass, _____," Levi scolded before suddenly grabbing onto your wrist.

Your instincts were fast, but he was much faster, immediately revealing the poison vial that you had hidden, and snatching it away from you.

"Care to explain yourself?" he asked with a deadpan expression as he dangled the vial in front of you, immediately taking a step back with it and raising an eyebrow up at you once you tried to snatch it back.

"Stay out of it, Levi!"

"Stay out of what?"

You paused in your response, knowing that he had you cornered. You knew that you couldn't talk your way through this, but you couldn't exactly just give up on your mission either.

"Levi..." you eventually spoke quietly, clearly hesitant to answer his question. "If I tell you, they'll send someone after you, even if you are the mafia boss."

"I think I'll manage. Who are you working for?"

Levi already had his suspicions as to who your employer was. There was only one other group in the city that had enough resources to take on a major organization like the mafia.

You were reluctant to talk, but you also knew that there wasn't a way out of this without getting violent. You parted your lips to speak, your voice barely audible once you did.

"...the Interior Police."

Levi remained silent, but the frown on his face grew. The confirmation of your involvement with the IP hit him hard. His lover, the one who made his days brighter and more bearable, was actually there to harm those he considered his family.

You matched his frown once you saw the look of disdain in his eyes.

"You have no right to judge me. The mafia's been wreaking havoc in the city for decades," you explained, although you knew deep down that the IP was still a shady organization despite being officially recognized by the government. "Are you really that surprised that the government has finally sent someone to dismantle you?"

His expression darkened upon hearing your explanation. He understood the weight of the consequences their actions had brought upon the city. Although it had been years since he took over from Kenny, he knew he still had a long ways to go if he truly wanted to pursue the path of redirecting the mafia's priorities.

It felt like an impossible task, but Levi had been hauling ass in an attempt to provide reparations for the damage the mafia had caused, and to turn it into less of a violent organization for hire, and more of one that provided the underground with protection against the government that was growing more and more corrupt with every passing day.

The fact that you were here to fuck that all up made it all the more irritating, especially once you provided your half-assed reasoning for it.

"Is that all there is to it?" he challenged, his voice laced with bitter disappointment. "After all we've been through, you just throw it all away because of some twisted notion of justice?"

He couldn't help but feel hurt by your words. To you, he was just another enemy leader to eliminate—but to him, this was much more than just a game or mission. You were here to fuck up everything that he had fought for since taking over as boss.

You remained silent, knowing that you weren't telling the complete truth. The IP claimed to play a vigilante role, but all you really did was complete the government's dirty work that they didn't want in the official records. The funder you were targeting had shorted you on a deal, and your superiors put a kill order out on them while disguising it as making a major blow to the mafia.

"...strings pulled, bribes paid, secrets kept," Levi replied, internally berating himself for even getting this involved with you despite knowing that something was up ever since he first met you. "That's what the underground comes down to in the end, right? People trying to climb higher by dragging others down."

He scoffed, his eyes narrowing dangerously as he continued. "All this time, I trusted you—thought we shared something beyond the games of deception and violence this world is plagued by—but looks like I was wrong."

You pursed your lips together, your heart sinking as he dismissed your relationship. It was true that you had never entered anything official, but you knew that there was at least something. You bit down on your lip, knowing that you couldn't afford to let your emotions cloud your judgement.

"...so did I," you whispered. "I really had hoped that some day, when this war was over, that we'd be able to figure out whatever it is that we have. But I guess I was wrong as well."

"War doesn't leave much room for hope," he grumbled, barely allowing you to finish your sentence, his voice laced with regret and anger. "Especially when you're knee-deep in enemies pretending to be allies.

"I never pretended to be your ally, Levi," you whispered. "I might live a double life, but not with you. It was only with you that I didn't feel like I had to live a lie. Loving you was real. That, I won't lie about."

You saw Levi hesitate for just a split second, although he quickly corrected his posture, gathering the resolve needed to close himself off to you, unable to fully trust you.

"...Leave," he said coldly, turning away.

Before you could protest, he looked at you over his shoulder again with nothing other than hostility and a cold glare he only reserved for his adversaries.

"If I see you on this complex again, then I'll have no choice but to assume that you're the enemy."

Is there any fandom you regret exploring?

Questions for the mun. A series of questions for the mun / the person behind the muse(s)

Okay, hear me out!!

I regret exploring The Stranger Things fandom. I think it mostly had to do with my muse choice. Billy is absolutely not for everyone and that's fine. But I think it's super fucking weird people conflate someone writing a FICTIONAL unlikable and awful character as THEM being awful as well. When people do not understand the difference it truly astounds me because most people get what is ic and what's ooc. So acting like both are the same is super problematic to me. There was also just a lot of drama and elitism I didn't particularly care for.

This being said I understand if people do not want to interact with any of my muses. Some people just do not like the character or do not want to be presented with the themes inevitably tied to the character. That's fair.

[do-u-know-this-autisticcharacter]

Do you know a character you like or love that is autistic or you believe is autistic, even if the show/author etc hasn't actually said so.

We have no banned characters. You can submit characters from any media and any genre:

~ Books ~ Comedy ~ Horror movies ~ Anime and Manga ~ Marvel or DC ~ Foreign/non English TV/media ~ Computer/console games ~ Silent films ~ Indie films ~ media from your childhood ~ Youtube Characters ~ Sci Fi etc ~

Please note, you MUST include evidence or proof or we won't accept the submission. We don't require much evidence, but there needs to something other than "just vibes" or "their whole family is autistic" (we don't know the family my friend).

Proof we do accept include - obsessive tendencies, has no social boundaries, nonverbal communication or delayed language development etc. Or even if creator of said character said so in a social media post etc.

We will only accept submissions through the submission form.

(Submissions are currently closed as of 2nd Feb 2025)

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

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

More about us below the cut!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks again for stopping by!

Just for more awareness:

[confessionsofa-roleplayer]

After over a decade, I'm officially finished with this hobby. What had started out as a creative hobby to explore characters and tell exciting stories has turned into a bland, selfish, cold place. Hardly anybody cares about your muse, they care about theirs and their ships. You can reblog headcanon memes and barely get any, but as soon as you reblog a "I'll rate/draw your muse/blog!" meme? Your inbox is FLOODED. It's not just selfish, it's shamelessly selfish. Not to mention all your own headcanon posts that only get one or two notes. If they can't be bothered to care about YOUR MUSE, how the hell are they gonna care about writing any well thought stories with them? Good luck having people show genuine interest with unprompted asks. And before anyone tries pulling the "erm, bet YOU didn't send anything!!!!! you're just getting what you dish out babey!" Nope. Every time I see a headcanon meme prompt, I send it. If a question pops in my head regarding their portrayal, I send it. I reblog my partners's promos, I like (and even reply to) their posts. Whenever people are excited about a new muse, I follow the blog. When I'm excited about a new muse? Well that blog has been up for four months and I haven't even reached 15 followers, most of those followers are personals btw. It's rare when I receive the same attention from the same people. If you do one wrong thing, it's over. Had a falling out with someone? They'll find a way to smear your name in a whole blog dedicated to calling you out. Rp'd a topic they personally don't like? You're on a DNI list for being disgusting and somehow glorifying something. Write with somebody who was called out? You're just as bad as they are. Had one tiny disagreement in a DM? Blocked. Your MUSE is rude to theirs? Somehow you hurt the mun's feelings and the thread is dropped. Which not only is it extremely hard to interact with other people, but it's even harder to write anything actually interesting. I've had one muse for half a decade and out of all that time, they've only gotten one meaningful ship. Out of all that time, they've only explored their complex backstory once. Every thread HAS to be sweet fluff where characters just get along all the time and no conflict or heavy topics ever. I've actually seen people on my dash COMPLAIN when people want to write heavy topics (aka conflict) I've had people personally im me because my muse was mean and they didn't like that (despite knowing what kind of character my muse was) I've had people unfollow me because my muse would cause problems because they're unwell. People will write "problematic" muses and then remove all their depth just so they can be pure all the time and avoid all conflict. What good is a story if there is not even a MINOR conflict involved? Or if you do anything that might be seen as controversial, as little as playing a mean villain, you risk getting called out somehow. If you do manage to write something fun, it'd be an achievement if the thread gets past 5 notes before getting dropped. It's no wonder why this community is "dying." Everybody is blatantly selfish, nobody values each other, and it feels like you have to walk on eggshells lest you face consequences. When threads are this boring, and the community is this shallow, of course everybody is moving to Discord. I'm sure that's why they're going to Discord, because they feel they can write with their partners without being told they can't. At first I thought maybe I was the one asking for too much. But as I joined new hobbies and new communities and people are expressing how much they love what I provide? It made me feel seen, which the Tumblr rpc hasn't made me feel in a long time. It opened my eyes to how unloving the Tumblr rpc has been. Maybe one day I'll return to this community, as it was once my favorite hobby. But until everyone learns to behave and love each other, until we become writers again, until ppl like me come together and have our own community, then I'll be gone.

Westley! King Julian! What is your favourite kind of weather? :D

"I'm really taking a liking to the 'King' title," Julian mused with a smirk.

"It's becoming problematic," Westley sighed, running a hand over his face. "Please, stop enabling him."

Julian chuckled, throwing an arm over Westley's shoulder. "Look, there are few genuine joys in life. Let me have this one..." he trailed off. "What was the question again?"

"Favorite weather," Westley rolled his eyes, biting back a smile. "Mine is the rain. The way it sounds, the way it smells. Especially in the spring, before the summer heat rolls in. I don't even mind getting caught in it, truthfully. Makes the day more interesting."

"Ugh." Julian pulled a face. "The rain is nice, so long as I get to stay indoors. I prefer sunny autumn days. Clear skies, soft breezes, crispy leaves. Oh, and the earthy smell. I love it."

[spearminthe]

🎞️ 💞 🙈 if you want to (sorry if these have been sent before)!

Fear not, these aren't dupes! :3

What ‘canon’ scenes would the fandom point to as evidence for the validity of your ship?

There'd be several instances that would have people 👁️👁️ eyeballing the potential of orphinthe before anything more official happens between them

Out the gate, there'd initially be a handful of smaller interactions that could perhaps be brushed off by ppl not in the Know as Minthe just being a "fan" of Orpheus due to his standing as a musician of myth, or them having more curiosity on the matter on account of them being the newest permanent fixture within the House of Hades/being dead the shortest amount of time. Once more substantial conversations between the pair get sprinkled in, people would be able to Thunk on situations like the pair discussing Orpheus' lack of will to provide music:

Orpheus: Would that I could, my friend, but without a source of inspiration to move me so...I'm afraid that I simply haven't the heart for it these days.

Minthe: (said with a sort of sad thoughtfulness) That's a terrible shame, Orpheus. I wish I could be of assistance to you.

Zagreus, aside: Hm...I wonder if perhaps they could.

Then later to other interactions showing that they've become rather swift friends, a fairly reverent reaction from Minthe upon Orpheus' first instance of singing again being triggered, then finally the "put in a good word for me, eh" conversation that they have with Zag. Those are probably the most "ambiguous" indicators that ppl would get since they could still ultimately be read as more one-sided on Minthe's behalf, but I think the final nail in the coffin would be whenever Zag and Orph have a one-on-one aside where the former finally makes that earnest, encouraging suggestion that perhaps seeking out a new muse would do the musician some good. There's a rather fetching little artisan that seems like they'd fit the job description rather well, after all. And by now...the bard would certainly be more receptive to the idea being laid out before him

Aside from with your f/o, who else would you commonly be shipped with? Why?

Oh gosh, what a question fbhfgh. It's a little hard to say since I feel Minthe would be subject to niche status due to just being a bg character, I don't picture them getting passed around all that readily amongst the rest of the cast

Taps chin. I could say Zag since that boy gets mashed with anybody and everybody, but there's no way it'd have near as strong a hold on account that it wouldn't be Yaoi™. They probably wouldn't have too deep of a relationship anyway, it'd mostly just be some playful fwb action here and there. They love each other to a point, but not Love each other

Minthe × Dusa perhaps could have some staying power?? I can see that being quite cute amongst a certain crowd. Minthe × Thanatos would be interesting due to the history they had on the Surface, but I feel like it'd be even less likely than MinZag. Minthe × Megaera would be a Mess but I can see them enjoying it all the same. Minthe × Hades would be a trip just for the fucking Audacity of it all on account of their borrowed namesake

The obvious answer would be Minthe × Eurydice, sans Orpheus askfjsks...the truly evil timeline where he fumbles the both of them so hard that neither of them can be bothered to give him the time of day once they've had the chance to get to know each other. Friendship with Orphinthe is dead, now Euryinthe is my best friend

Why would your ship be thought of as cute/fluffy? Why would your ship be considered problematic?

Hmmh, I think this one could answer kinda similarly to one of the answers in this ask: There's a lot to find cute and fluffy about orphinthe imo. Orph is damaged goods to an appalling degree, but clearly still capable of yearning for companionship and fuel for his creativity. Minthe is all too eager to supply both of those in droves, but they also handle him with a very considerate and steadying force that makes him feel...safe. Understood. Cared for. Their relationship hits him less like a ton of bricks and more like a gently stern push on the back: They'll ultimately urge him to move forward via lots of vocal assurances and physical affection, but not in a way that's sudden or overwhelming (at least. until he finds himself becoming a little overwhelmed with Other things, but in a good way that he can still feel safe with)

The problematic aspects would definitely stem from reads that paint Minthe in a manipulative light, as if they'd pressured Orph into playing their games and engaging with them in such a way, even as he's still actively pining for a wife he might not ever see again. Disregarding of course that they made it clear that they wouldn't push the proposition further if he had no interest to do so, and that they assured him they were more than happy to remain friends...the sorts of reads deliberately wanting to pin them as somebody standing in the way of a reunion with Eurydice

Clown Vee reader headcanons

I have a couple of questions but you know what I'm not going to question HOW you managed to become one of the Vee's.

You're the least problematic Vee, and I feel like you manufacture clown nose bombs.

You're a very very fashionable lil' funky clown, you probably bicker with Velvette over your outdated clown ruffles at times but other than that very fashionable! If Velvette ever has like a clown themed fashion show you're her main model/muse!

I feel like your floor in the Vee's tower is a circus themed Hazard, like ribbons, balls, other circus things are just laying around and your also manufacturing clown nose bombs.

You've probably briefly had your own little clown show on Vox's TV channels.

You've also pranked the TV man when he was in power off mode, like I'm talking a stereotypical clown wig, clown make-up, clown getup and everything, minus a clown nose because he has no nose.

You know what screw that, you glue on a clown nose onto his stupid TV face.

Clown Vox.

HE IS NOT HAPPY, YOU SHOULD HIDE.

Valentino dies a very clown themed death.

Is it by being choked via your neverending handkerchiefs? [Honestly he'd probably like that]

OR maybe you glued one of the clown nose bombs on his face and KABOOM?

Anywho you totally have a whole clown show on the side, I'm talking a whole circus troop, not just clowns but acrobats, performers, magicians???

You hold circus shows a couple times a year, maybe twice a month? Very exclusive and VERY eye-catching, iconic, entertaining!

Good evenin' folks! This was literally just an clown themed excuse to reuse this header, anywho! thank you all for tunin' on in, I hope you have a great rest of your night!

lourdes is rarely in the boutique, but he is there occasionally. he is more commonly in the atelier. consultations for couture pieces are by appointment only and will be conducted in the atelier. your muse may potentially work in either the boutique or atelier, but i would prefer to discuss first just to make sure everything fits!

the most important thing to understand about how he runs the fashion house and his level of involvement is that he, of course, is at the top of the chain of command, so to speak. he does not deal with low level tasks and issues. he does not manage the boutique, he does not assist customers in the boutique when he is there, and he does not do much hiring at all, unless it's a more artisanal position, but he would not be the one to approach about it.

ABILITIES [AND DISABILITY].

lourdes has both mobility issues (primarily weakness in his legs, mainly the left, the knee being the most problematic area. he also has trouble with balance), and low energy/fatigue potential. walking long distances is not an option. he will rarely go on walks alone, but they are short, and he does not go far from his home. he rarely uses stairs, if it can be avoided, especially if it's more than one or two (which can still be an issue, too). his home has two elevators. he can barely walk at all on soft/uneven ground (grass, sand, etc). if you have any questions about how his disability may affect something in your reply, please feel free to ask!

he experiences essential tremors in his limbs, but it is most visible in his hands; this mean that they shake whenever the muscles are engaged, ie, whenever he moves or uses them. at rest, they're still. this, along with weakness and occasional numbness in his hands, makes it difficult or impossible for him to perform many tasks.

he is physically weak. he will not get into physical altercations. if someone attempts to physically harm him, or he feels that they may, he will either psychically compel them not to, or set them on fire via pyrokinesis, so please bear this in mind for interactions. i will always message before writing anything that affects your muse in this way. he generally avoids using these abilities, and will probably never use them on someone he cares about.

OTHER.

lourdes rarely (virtually never) feeds directly from humans. exceptions would be men that seem clean enough and are at least somewhat attractive to him, but he would generally still prefer that they be freshly washed first.

he rarely goes anywhere alone. he is almost always accompanied by at least one familiar, if not two or three. they typically keep their distance, and only assist when directed to, except for certain things that they know to do without being told. the most notable tasks they will perform are driving, opening doors, and carrying lourdes's coat/jacket/cape/etc. you're free to utilize them in threads. bear in mind that they will not hover closely when not assisting, as lourdes finds this annoying and intrusive. additionally, your muse could be one of his familiars.

he is extremely touch averse due to his mysophobia. he will react poorly to being touched by those he doesn't know well, doesn't trust, or doesn't like. he is only tolerant of touch from people he likes or finds attractive, but there are still instances that may bother him. his concern about coming into contact with filth is so deep that he is reluctant to sit down anywhere outside of his own home unless he knows the seat has been thoroughly disinfected.
