I'm sorry but this take is actively hilarious and it's SO true
#I'd choose chica & roxy bc i would always like both the girly pink one & the bad bitch#i dont think id be scared of sun or moon but im not sure whether id like them#like i was pretty bubbly and behaved as a kid so that makes me say id like sun BUT#i did not really respect authority if i felt what they wanted was dumb and if I'd sus that out I'd just actively stop listening alltogether#like my man can say lights on but im expecting a presentation as to why and if he doesnt convince me i will turn those lights off#also given i have a disability id fucking hate those play structures i always wanted to go in them but then id get horribly stuck and cry#like deadass my parents had to get me out of the ballpit at mcdonalds themselves EVERY TIME bc i couldnt get out anymore#yet every time id want to go back in bc all the other kids would and i didnt understand why I couldn't and telling me no wouldnt work lmao#so the question is rather whether he'd like ME bc i would've kept his anxious ass busy for sure#and moon id just actively fight with my undiagnosed adhd ass with sleep issues get yo melatonin candies outta my face#i would bribe him to eat like 12 just bc theyre tasty and then still be awake and bother his unruly ass LMAO#i dont think id care about freddy that much actually but might have had a crush on monty for no reason and be actively annoying about it 💀#but he also kinda reminds me of the animatronic christmas tree my parents had and that bitch scared me shitless as a baby#im just laughing thinking abt it bc that thing would literally scream YOU BETTER WATCH OUT as you walked by what were they thinking#the funny thing is they ended up donating it to a local daycare like what chaotic nonsense is this#the staffbots remind me of Pepper & he scared me as an ADULT with his blank eyecontact my mans pretending to be neurotypical & it shows

slashers x autistic!fem!reader hcs if you're comfy with that!!! (idrc about the rest but please let jason and thomas be there 🙏)
Jason and Thomas x autistic!fem!reader
grrrgrr trying to speedrun writing so i can go work on other stuff but my fingers keep either going stiff or simply not following what i want to write raaaaah!! i used to be able to write like, 5-8 posts back to back but it seems currently im limited to 2 or 3 hisshiss notes: reader is fem, a lot of this is based around the admins experiences as an afab with autism, admins experience does not reflect everyones experience, something something admin headcanons both characters are on the spectrum albeit undiagnosed and likely unaware that theyre ND cws: mentioned bullying and/or ableism
Tumblr media
JASON
doesnt mind your needs, and hes more than welcome to accommodate you and make living here with him easier for you
need your own space so you can unwind? hes already on it, just be sure to let him know if you need anything! need something to keep excess noise out, or to perhaps play music? he might be able to find a pair of headphones somewhere! can only eat certain foods due to sensory issues? hes sure he can find a way to help you!
if you ever open up to him about your struggles prior to moving in with him, hes going to feel for you... not only because hes reeling from the idea that anyone could treat you so poorly for trying to function the way the way thats best for you.. but also because he finds himself relating heavily to you-
actually him tending to you and your needs has him realizing that he hasnt really been tending to his own.. hes mostly been doing the basic "eat sleep clean repeat" cycle before you came around... he would just power through whatever else was bothering him
you both take care of each other, and in your case you help him find what works for him and what doesnt
if you ever mention any of his interests hes going to remember everything you tell him... and if it happens to be a media hes going to light up if he ever sees a camper sporting some merch for it... definitely going to yoink that to give you later
THOMAS
does his very best to make things easier for you, even helping you change up your room to better suit your needs
he doesnt really talk, but if you have an interest you want to ramble about hes going to let you talk for as long as you want! depending on what work he needs to do that day he might let you talk as he does his chores!
doesnt know anything about neurodivergency but hes willing to let you guide him so he can understand, you... may raise some internal suspicions in him that he may not totally be neurotypical
similar to jason you may end up helping him find what he doesnt like and does like, stuff that hes been ignoring and pushing to the back of his mind for the sake of keeping things running and doing what hes told
your room becomes a quiet space for the two of you to retreat to during the day to let your walls down and relax before heading back out into the world

need you to know my house md autism theory that i couldnt add onto your post because of daily post limit: house and wilson are both two different kinds of autistic!
wilson is a people pleaser autist who makes himself docile and nonthreatening and submissive and hes constantly sacrificing himself for other people because hes trying to make up for his various minor social deficits and awkwardnesses.
house has a stronger more dominant autistic personality and has tried fitting in but it never works because hes just Too Much. so he has instead given up and just settled into the role of The Asshole because its easier to let people think hes a jerk than it is to try and change their minds.
theyre the two most common roles undiagnosed autistic people fall into!
and i think the whole entire show is about that. time and time again we see house and wilson fumble relationship after relationship with more than just romantic partners. they dont have any friends other than each other. they try! they really do! but their extreme personalities are just too much for other people to deal with.
but they are the exact same amount of messed up as each other even if its in opposite directions. theyre practically made for each other.
house helps wilson grow a spine and learn how to stand up for and value himself more, and wilson helps house learn to trust and open up to other people even if it hurts and sucks sometimes. theyre helping each other heal!!!!!!!
i’m so bad at replying to asks so i’m sorry i don’t have anything to add on but honestly you said it all this is a great analysis!

Would you mind writing Brahams and/or Bubba with a s/o who’s autistic and stims a lot and has a lot of echolalia stims but is embarrassed about them when they realize theyre stimming in front of them? Thank you and have a wonderful day!! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Of course I don’t mind, hun! 💖 I tried researching a bit about echolalia, hope I do you proud! Please let me know if I mess anything up though!
Tumblr media
Bubba and Brahms with an s/o who has an echolalia stim
Tumblr media
Bubba
I hc that Bubba's autistic and nonverbal!
He shows a lot of traits of having trouble with social cues, and trouble with his impulse control. Also suffers meltdowns when in high stress situation, most likely from his brother's yelling or from victims getting away.
He stims by touching textures (mainly his mask!) and probably has an oral stim too! And I bet he loves to feel around the textures of his crafts, like his bracelet or whatever bone decoration is around the house.
He was a bit cut off guard when you do a vocal stim near him for the first time. Why did you repeat what his brother just said? Where you making fun of him?
You'd have to explain to him about your vocal stim to help him understand that you're not making fun of him or his brothers. Once you do he's completely understanding!
He assures you that you shouldn't be embarrassed of your stims. While spending time together, whether it be interacting or doing your own things in silence, you both feel comfortable enough to stim around each other. He's absolutely smitten with everything that you do <3
Tumblr media
Brahms
As for Brahms, I hc him having BPD. It shows when Greta becomes his favorite person, his sudden mood swings towards her, his impulsiveness to threaten anyone who tries to sweep her away from him, and how quick it is to anger him. Lots of anger issues as well
Brahms had watched you for a while inside the mansion's walls, so he has seen and heard you stim beforehand.
He's probably read up on many autistic traits and information in the books around the mansion. So he probably knows some things about echolalia and/or stims.
He'd be interested on what your thoughts are on the different phrases or words that you repeat. What made you like them, or what brought them up.
Once he comes out of the walls and you're talking to the real him face to face, you may notice him still watching you from time to time. *cough* all the time, he can't help it
He finds all your stims to be fascinating, he loves hearing your voice and is just so thrilled to finally be with you. Brahms absolutely is head over heels. You're his new favorite person!
Really clingy and possessive, but he'd tone it down if you tell him to. Just be honest! Communication is key. <3
Tumblr media
Finally getting the hang of writing again! So sorry if there's any grammar mistakes, English ain't my main language!
As a side note, I would like to say that in no way am I trying to demonize or correlate these mental health conditions to literal slashers. I've got some undiagnosed au/dhd + possible bpd and you don't see me (or anybody else) slashing and dashing out there! These are just my thoughts, and how I'd like to explain the traits or deeper feelings behind these characters! Idk if I worded this correctly but y'all get my point!

ok okokk i may be pushing it but i just cant stop picturing barry circa 2012 with leaving!bucky. i just feel like theyd have the cutest dynamic ever. he gives art student vibes like maybe hes studying film or literature. theyre childhood bestfriends and maybe they were eachother's homoerotic-codependent-friendship canon event. UGHH theyd be so cute stfuu. and maybe bucky and gale are already established and curt is just yearning for a whileee like over a year of slow burn until the three of them are a throuple... idk i just miss curtbuckbucky. you dont have to change your canon for the long fic i just needed to share this idea lmfao
au post | NO ur not pushing it this is such fun world building teehee <33 genuinely this is gonna help me later for drafting! (FUCK MY LIFE HOW IS THIS 2K WORDS. i thought i only had a few thoughts... i was so wrong. my bad chief. enjoy/suffer ig)
ok so this is so funny because i've actually been thinking ab how sweet those two would be together, cute little nerdy besties, and how they'd meet because of course curt has to be in this fic!!
and the first thing my mind went to was the cliche homoerotic codependent friendship trope too LMAO. i'm feeling like maybe they meet on the first day of highschool; neither of them share their english class with any friends, and they end up sat next to each other, and john keeps side–eyeing him because curt looks... interesting. (ie: deep into his emo phase. the fringe. the smudged eyeshadow. chipped black nail polish, band shirts– all things john does not let him live down as they grow up.)
but his eyes settle on some pin on curt's jacket that has some character from his favourite movie or something, and the yap jumps out, john can't control it. blurts out a "you like ___ too?!" and curt's head snaps over and he nods nervously and john takes one look at those big sad charcoal–ringed blue puppy eyes and is like yup. this is the one. will protect with my life.
(tiny headcanon that rly won't have a big effect on plot or anything, but i feel like it just fits very well with john/his character in leaving– dude's got madddd undiagnosed adhd. he's written off as a loud mouth/troublemaker in his childhood, but he wants to be a good kid, his mind is just always going too fast and sitting still is torture and his parents get frustrated and don't look into the root of the problem, trying to discipline it out of him instead. i will heal my inner child by healing him alright)
they're attached at the hip from that moment on and it makes sense to no one because they seem like complete opposites, curt more inclined towards the arts and bookish things and his friends are all the same, whereas john is more inclined towards athletics and science and hangs around that type of crowd as well. but they both love video games and movies and music and they bond over never really feeling like they fit in anywhere particular and both groups of friends get along just fine when they all get together. <3
but yk time goes on, they learn things about themselves as they grow up, and curt and john are so close and spend so much time together that they're already a lot closer than regular friends– they just don't realize it. they think nothing of cuddling up on the couch watching movies together, or sharing a bed when john stays over at curt's place after he gets into a fight with his parents, or being much more interested in spending time together than pursuing girls.
and curt's pretty– john nearly mistakes him for a girl that first day they meet. the summer before their senior year, john practically spends the whole summer at curt's house, and curt's mom doesn't mind; she works long hours and is glad her son isn't spending the summer moping around indoors alone, and she loves john and gets the feeling that her home is a sanctuary for him. one day they're in the backyard lazing around, and they get onto the topic of first kisses, and neither of them have had a proper relationship outside of those classic week–long middleschool flings that don't actually mean anything, so there's not much to talk about.
but being dumb teenage boys, they start worrying about "what if we're really bad at kissing and no girls wanna go with us to senior prom this year" etc. and one of them pops the suggestion of practicing together, and thus begins a summer of sweet stolen kisses and hand holding and experimenting and dancing around calling it something. it ends when the summer does because they realize that they both work better as friends, but they're as close as ever and both definitely learn they aren't straight (and they probably make a cute pact– "if we aren't in love by the time we're thirty, we'll just marry each other.")
i don't see them really doing much together because they're young and shy and inexperienced, but it's enough for john to decide that yeah, he definitely likes guys too, but that's all that really amounts to (until he meets gale) because he's growing up in a small town in wisconsin and it's not the easiest/most accepting place to find other queers. john probably ends up dating a real sweet girl during his last year of highschool, but she's going away for college and john's going to a local one so it ends amicably at the end of summer, both of them staying close friends. (if we wanna get sickeningly wholesome, maybe she ends up pining for a girl while john's pining for gale and they share their little stories and give each other advice and facetime every week to catch up <3)
(++ curt ends up falling head over heels for ken, who he meets through john when curt and john's friend groups get together for movie nights or summer parties. john pretends to be annoyed at how lovesick they are when they first start crushing, but he ends up matchmaking and being the one to push them to confess their feelings after graduation because he loves his friends.)
BUT THEN, leaving this fic's 'canon' to elaborate on the throuple stuff you said! i miss curtbuckbucky too </3
in a separate universe, curt doesn't end up with ken, and as much as he loves his friendship with john and agrees that a relationship wouldn't have worked at that time in their lives, he spends that first year of college pining. when john starts talking about some guy named gale during their second year, he's a little sad, but mostly protective, because "what do you MEAN he's in his 30s??" and "he's a BIKER?"
but john eventually introduces him to gale after a few months of telling curt about him, probably once he and gale actually start seeing each other, and curt immediately gets it. and then he's in double–hell because not only is he a bit (a lot) in love with his best friend, but he's blushing every time said best friend's new bf talks to him, and they're gonna notice eventually if they haven't already and he feels so guilty.
more yearning ensues and john is dense and doesn't realize but gale picks up on it, maybe even notices john doing a bit of pining of his own that john's not fully aware of. and his heart twists because his mind goes to his own insecurities about how john should be seeing someone his own age, so he sits john down and opens up a conversation about it. john is adamant that he's very, very happy with gale, but he tells gale about his and curt's past and admits that he has always still had feelings for him, but insists that it's not something he'd ever pursue, that he values curt's friendship more.
gale throws him off by saying he wouldn't mind if john wanted to explore those feelings, and at first john gets anxious gale is calling things off with the two of them and this is his way of softening the blow, but gale reassures him that's not the case, that he's very happy with their relationship. he just encourages that if he wants to talk to curt and feel things out, he wouldn't be opposed to john and curt seeing each other as well– gale's often busy, after all, so it would be nice for john to have someone else, as long as curt's comfortable with that kind of arrangement and as long as john keeps gale in the loop.
they decide to kinda just feel it out as they go, but soon enough gale starts coming home from work every so often to find the two of them curled up on his couch together, sweet and innocent. curt's wary at first, always slightly detaching himself from john when gale's around, but gale is always friendly and doesn't change up his routine, settling on the couch at john's other side like it's not a big deal at all, wanting to show curt he's welcome there, not wanting john to feel guilty.
it's another scenario where lines just sorta start to blur over time, curt spending a lot of time over at gale's house, and gale sees the way curt looks at him, probably noticed it from the first time they met but chalked it up to nerves at the time. curt's an angel and he's grown quite fond of him, but he doesn't want to overstep, so he leaves it up to curt, thinking maybe the boy will mention it to john one day and john will in turn come to gale to talk about it.
and eventually that happens, just like gale thought it might. curt's just gone home and john's head is in his lap on the couch while they watch tv, and john asks "what do you think about curt?" and gale tells him that he's sweet and he loves how much john smiles when he's around him, the usual. "so you like him?" john pushes, and gale immediately has a feeling where this conversation is going, drags his eyes away from the tv to look down at john.
says "of course" easily, and lets john take his time forming his thoughts. john ends up telling him that he and curt were fooling around earlier while gale was at work (and god help gale for the images that puts in his head) and that he'd made some offhand comment about how curt better hurry up if he doesn't want gale to come home and catch him half naked on their couch. and john's all shy when he says "and curt, uh. y'know. that... did it for him" with a vague gesture LOL. gale never fails to find it amusing how certain things can fluster john to talk about after all they've done together.
"so, anyway. i asked him about it after, if it was a coincidence, and he was real shy about it, but he did admit after a whole lot of apologizing that he likes you." gale listens to him nervously get his words out, petting his hair encouragingly, waits for him to be done before he asks "how do you feel about that?" only to watch the flush return when john mumbles "it's hot."
this is getting sooo long i need to take away my own typing privileges, but basically that's how things would start between the three of them– john and gale agree that gale will let himself be a bit flirty with curt and see how curt takes it. obviously this goes a little too well when curt gets hot and bothered sat between john and gale during a movie night with john's hand on his knee and gale's arm resting on the couch behind him while he plays with curt's hair.
the movie is forgotten when gale's finger catches on a tangled curl and curt doesn't bite back the little whine that slips out in time and john's head snaps over and he mumbles a "fuck" when he realizes what's happened, and his lack of filter comes out to play when he turns to curt and asks "curt, can gale kiss you?" and curt turns to gale with big doll eyes and nods.
john ends up palming himself over his shorts as he watches gale coax curt into his lap, face hot and pupils blown as he gets to see both his guys make out in front of him, almost dizzy seeing curt get so shy and needy and pliant because when it's just the two of them, he and curt are both very balanced in their dynamic. they've been such close friends for so long that not much gets the other truly shy like that, and they're always quick to voice their wants and crack jokes while fooling around and all. so to see curt get so flustered in that way with gale has him lightheaded, and by the time they all collapse into gale's bed at the end of the night, john's convinced this is the best decision he's ever made.
there's a lot of pining on curt's end because for a while it's kinda just sex when it's the three of them, and he loves it but he also finds himself wanting more but feeling too scared to voice it because he feels like he's intruding. but eventually they all get their shit sorted out; curt fits into their relationship just right in a way gale and john never intended or expected, and gale falls for curt just as much as john has and curt does the same with gale.
gale's got two sweet things glued to his side now and man, do they ever give him a run for his money, and if he'd thought john had too much energy (and stamina) it's nothing compared to keeping up with both of them, but he wouldn't have it any other way. <3
throuple things won't be happening in the actual fic, but i do love the idea of exploring the dynamic the three of them might have in a spin–off of that au so this was rly fun thx :-) maybe i'll write a pwp oneshot set in that universe as an excuse to write more curtbuckbucky once the fic is done LOL we'll see!

actually, what was your first impression of floyd, back when you watched the movie??? i know tdau floyd Is Like That™ bc if that one fic you read, but i'm curious about your first impression of the tbt characters.
floyd initially didnt WOW me like the other brothers did. ive said before how we dont get much of his real personality, since you cant accurately judge how someone is as a person by how they act when theyve been tortured for two months. and while i have since grown to like his subtle characterisation, and LOVE the little bits of sass and sarcasm that leak through (bohochic home furnishings 😌), i am still eagerly awaiting the next cartoon or holiday special so we can see how floyd actually acts when hes not. you know. fearing for his life!
originally tdau floyd was just a joke about him being a heavy drug using party animal, like you might expect from a gay emo finding his footing in the early/mid 2000s, and it was really funny to put it against the Sad And Shy And Sensitive floyd that everyone portrays him as. since then, he has spiralled into a dangerously unstable addict who probably needs serious help for his undiagnosed bipolar disorder before he hurts himself and/or others, and treats his husband like his only lifeline. which he is, but theyre both each others lifelines, so it evens out. theres a reason i call them trauma-bonded and i do NOT mean it in the commonly misused and watered down sense of the term
floyd being pro life was an afterthought, just an inside joke. i dont think either of us expected that to become. so. you know. noteworthy

[tagging people so they ask me questions about him]

From:
Chicago Illinois
Hair Color:
Ginger
Eye Color:
Green/Blue
Height:
5 foot tall
Weight:
132 lbs
Small Bio:
Adopted by Willow and James Orton when he was two, she grows up a pretty normal girl in the normal household of girls do girl things and boys do boys things. She does ballroom dancing as a child and grows up with a passion for musical theatre and acting as well as medicine. He grows up wanting to be an actor until an unfortunate accident renders her hard of hearing/deaf [she uses the terms interchangably] which means that he now has hearing aids. He forgoes the desire to act to become a doctor instead, facianted by how people can just mend and heal like nothing bad happened.
At age thirteen her parents send her off to Blackpool, to an old friend William Regal who is going to teach Jay the art of wrestling as a way for her to get his extra energy out [plottwist its medicated/undiagnosed hyperactive ADHD] but Regal takes thsi little 13 year old from Chicago under his wings and trains him all the art of wrestling, Jay realises that she has a passon for death matches and hardcore wrestling, and shes damn fucking good at it.
Up on the main roster, Jay struggles because theyre not allowed to do anything apart from a few high flying moveis and years go by where Jay just isnt happy in her position, made worse by coles call up. So this is when Jericho starts slowly manpulating and selling Jay on the idea of joining the JAS and AEW and so she shows up with the rest of the JAS. They start treating Jay at first like a princess a gloruos little angel who can do their dirtywork until she starts to loose matches and the JAS start getting annoyed and agrivated and start bullying them - cue wrestlers weekly standing up for this little new kid who keeps being picked on. Jay ends up doing a diving headbutt during a amtch with Kris Stratlander and cracks their head on both a steel chair and a ring anvas- he's concussed instatnyl nad really doesnt remember how she got backstage [the best friends and kris helped him there and wheeler looked after them and took her back to the JAS lockerroom]
Jay has their therapy rabbit Hemlock [yes, like the poision] there and shes chatting away to the rabit when he starts to completely like zone our and dissocate. This is where he meets kenny someone who treats them and calms him down and whene Jay first registers that theres someone else in the room she panics instantly cuz the JAS trained her to not show emotions especially those who are like sad or guilty emotions. Jay states that she doesnt know who kenny is, because theybve only really kinda seen him around and not spoken to him and Kenny sticks his hand out and goes "Kenny omega, now you know me!" and when jay introsduces themselve as "Jayden Orton" Kenny smiles and "nice to meet ya jay"
and everything kinda just snaps int place. Jay! Nobody had ever called them Jay before, like the bird and everything nice and kind. And thats a boys name, Jay wouldnt mind being a boy. Jay
she likes it.
so yeah Kenny provides an entire gender crisis. Jay snaps out of dissocation and switches for a panic attack which kenny helps and explains that "oh my partner has these sometimes, he really doesnt like to be alone sometimes.are you going to be okay?- Oh! you two should meet youd really like him! he's really kind, and cute."
Kenny in intensily queer around Jay and considering that shes never really been exposed to outwardly queer people and openly gender-queer people her mind goes all scrambled in a good way.
Some other things happen,. jay leaves the JAS, spends a lot of time lurking in dark corrdiors meeting more firneds. She keeps finding kenny and acddientally meets hanger when kenny is like inches away from getting him on his knees. The two of them make instant friends. The go dancing and to bars and Jay assumes that because she likes the name Jay, he cant be a girl- so he has to be a boy.
Adam cole worms his way back into Jays life as a foe and then someone that their boyrioends are fucking and then cole realises that shes trans femme and Jay realises that hes not a trans man but infact genderqueer. Jay and coles trans journeys are linked and ill go more uinto that if anyone else really wants to hear about it.
In the end Jay starts dating wheeler, kenny and both adams. wheeler is only dating jay. Kenny and the adams are all dating one another. The polycule is all disgustingly in love and adore each other.
Regal scoops up his now grandchild [as well as granddaughter/grandson- regardless os how jay feels regal will always be their grandpa] as the newest member of the BCC where she can finally have a family thats forged in blood and ocmbat as well as kindness and love. Mox gives them his ADHD meds sometimes.

Modern!Athelstan headcanons but i’ll try to project as little as possible
doesnt really have many friends, by choice. he likes being alone. sometimes a bit too much.
he collects cool crosses/crucifixes he finds at thrift stores, has a whole wall dedicated to them
grew up in a rural area without the internet, hes learnt everything he knows from his mother’s library
started questioning his sexuality at 16 when he realized he was reading sport history books just to look at pictures of male athletes
gets flustered with anyone who shows him the tiniest bit of attention
undiagnosed autism (special interests are dead languages; latin, ancient greek, old norse, etc.)
a bit fucked up in the head actually but cant afford to go to therapy
^ he opens up to Lagertha about this while tipsy and she offers to pay for him. he starts crying on the spot
oh yeah LIGHTWEIGHT. two glasses of good wine and hes gone
unironically listens to gregorian chants while studying
has a license but refuses to drive because “its bad for the environment”
was vegetarian until Ragnar invited him to a bbq and he HAD to eat an hamburger cause Floki and Rollo kept staring at him
often talks in metaphors like a smartass just to piss Rollo off. will sometimes even make up words that “sound” latin and “quote” Seneca
has a mutt named Argo and a black cat named Bastet, of course theyre both rescues

you know its really annoying how the ppl in the USA who are mega yaaay capitalism!!! are always so short sighted about "socialist" stuff thats helpful even from a capitalist perspective.
like, universal healthcare, of course im for it bc of moral reasons, such as thinking people shouldnt die from preventable diseases just because some ceo wanted to charge $200 a dose on their latest drug, big fan of that, but also for very practical reasons like. "in a capitalist society, its good when workers Dont Die and arent disabled for easily preventable medical reasons".
even if you think of workers in terms of assets, its just a sound thing to make sure those assets you spent time and money training (both at individual companies at at a society level, counting "college/trade school education" as training), its a good thing when your investments in those assets isnt cut off just because. oh, they died at 30 from an undiagnosed heart issue (bc they never went to the doc for those "weird feelings" bc it was expensive) that could have been treated with a drug thats so goddamn many times less expensive than replacing them (both for corps and at a society level)
making sure the population as a whole is generally healthier is a great idea if you want them to be good little workers. its a long term systemic investment! it would be GOOD for capitalism! but no, bc it looks bad on the balance sheet to the capitalists in charge (and some of the ppl voting for them), its "too expensive" and "whos gonna pay for it??" (despite it already being. cheaper than private healthcare.) and because theyre in the pockets of these healthcare companies, they refuse to examine jack shit about how itd help the economy as a whole.
and it applies to so many things. investing in schools means better workers! making sure children are fed means they grow up healthier and are better workers! letting your employees stay home when sick means you dont risk infecting all your other workers, and maybe some customers too- losing out on profits bc theyre home sick during shopping days!. hell, theres studies about how housing homeless people is cheaper both long AND short term, and some of them would be able to return to the workforce once theyre back on their feet! (still cheaper to take care of those who WONT be able to enter the workforce again too, bc of age/disability/mental illness/whatever)
like, obvs im also for public good policies that dont directly help ✨the economy✨ too bc i like it when ppl dont fucking die and have nice lives, but christ its so fucking annoying how the capitalists dont acknowledge that this "socialist" shit is good for capitalism too. just fucking look at all the other countries with these policies and see how much better theyre doing by p much every metric

Honestly that exhibit is what inspired me to ask that question, I love going to museums and I think one specifically dedicated to Disney Channel would be really cool especially in regards to newer stuff as well as stuff older than like you said the “popular era” just overall it would be a neat attraction.
For this next query we talk a lot about books in the discord would you rather see your favorite series/movie turned into a book or would you rather see your favorite book with a disney channel take like a tv show laugh track and all? which ones and what elements would you change in the transfer?
I personally think seeing High School Musical as a Jane Austen novel would be funny or just that or other disney channel projects in full novels for like adult reading levels (as much as the Camp Rock Junior Novels rock that is) - ❄️🎄
truth be told, i do not read 🙈 i loved to when i was a little but as i got older it got more challenging for me to the point where its very difficult for me now (its probably undiagnosed adhd)
but! one series i grew up loving was kingdom keepers, which i think has been talked about in the discord. i dont remember which book i left off on, i dont think ive read them since 2015? but thats a series that id definitely make an effort at resuming/finishing. id always hoped itd become a movie or tv show and i think there have been talks about it, or at least rumors, but nothing has happened. but now that we have disney+, i feel like it could be possible since theyre making stuff with lesser known IPs. so i guess that wouldnt make it a disney channel show, but i feel like it could be a disney+ show in the style of both disney channel and disney+'s single cam teen sitcoms, like andi mack, ultra violet & black scorpion, hsmtmts, diary of a future president, etc. probably mostly like uv&bs tho bc it would be more of an action/adventure type show.

im canadian but our education systems are similar and i have a few stories that come to mind. theyre all fairly small so ill share more than one. this post may still get quite long, so sorry in advance.
doesnt really affect much but noteworthy context: i was in the early french immersion program, which means all of my academic classes (maths, science, etc) were in french, starting in senior kindergarten (the "grade" before grade 1). we had french class which was like the literature part of english class as well as grammar stuff, but in french, and also the english variant.
1. tldr: got in trouble for the way i wrote the letter k. in sixth grade, instead of our usual teacher doing the english lessons, one of the English teachers would come in on Wednesdays and give us a grammar lesson. my Ks were fairly similar; they both went all the way up. i differentiated them by having the capital attach in the middle of the base line, and the lowercase had the bottom diagonal bit coming off of the top one (like in default fonts). this teacher did not care to see this difference and would berate me for all my Ks being capitals and wouldnt let up until my lowercase Ks were changed.
2. tldr: teacher Went Off on a kid for sneezing and dropping a water bottle (by accident). this one didn't actually happen to me personally, but i was in the class and witnessed the whole thing. in grade nine, our maths teacher required us to be pretty quiet. on its own, not far-fetched. but i guess that day she was short on patience, and coupled with some of the students goofing off like they usually did it didnt take long for her to get Pissed. it was actually fairly quiet when this happened, but a kid sneezed, and someone dropped their water bottle (idk if it was the same kid). the bottle made a really loud bang as it hit the floor and the teacher stormed over to the kid and started yelling at him. like actually Shouting. it was kinda terrifying
no other specific things are coming to mind, but heres some things from highschool that pissed me off:
- i would frequently sleep through maths class in grade 11 and still got decent grades. the teacher only ever yelled at me for not paying attention on the few occasions where i was paying attention.
- took yoga as a PE credit in grade 10 and the teacher frequently made it extremely stressful. not in a sexual way (thankfully) but in an "i have severe social anxiety and undiagnosed autism and youre making me sit away from anyone i know, next to the popular crowd who will likely bully me, and make me teach the class shit i only just learned myself" way. (she was teaching the class as if we were learning to be yoga Instructors, which we were not.)
- that time my partner and i almost got beat up in the gender neutral washroom
- the various times people whistled at us in the halls
- my creepy ass grade 12 english teacher (who is married to one of his previous students)
- that time my band teacher blew up at her grade 9 english class and stormed out of the building, and never came back
- and ✨more✨
Everyone give me the most screwed up thing that has ever happened to you in the american public school system

AUTISM N OCD JEDDIE HCS 👀 <- normal about him
YES YES YES YES YES I WAS HOPING SOMEONE WOULD ASK ABOUT THOSE ..... >:))
okay starting with autism . there is NO WAY IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD that fucker doesnt have a special interest on video games theres just no way . i think hes had a spinterest on the medium broadly for SEVERAL years but it yas like . Subhyperfocuses on specific games and series which shifts a lot . for example it was skyrim in college and hes had an on again off again special interest on sonic for most of his life . also he has a special interest in math because i do too and i get to hashtag project
hes VERY much undiagnosed i think . i think he RELATES to a lot of the things sydney experiences and the autistic traits he has but because he doesnt relate to Everything both because autism demonstrates differently in everyone plus sydney has more immediate support needs as well as other disorders and disabilities he kinda is like . ok so im not autistic bc im not exactly like sydney . i think he has some internalized ableism to work thru
i think he stims by pacing his office a lot (: he also flutters his hands when hes nervous or excited and i think he finds clicking his tongue in time with the clocks in his office to be a relaxing stim for when hes upset. he also claps his hands when hes happy and rocks back and forth a lot ESPECIALLY when hes in an infodump
i think she scripts a good deal like she has Specific Phrases that she relies on for hard social interactions . a canon one being the phrase Untenable Circumstances . he doesnt script Whole Interactions but i think for stressful things or abrupt changes she has specific little scripts like for the opposite day ep scripting is a backup plan for him in times of distress
i think that understanding that shes autistic and undoing a lot of her internalized ableism actually helps her and sydney become a lot closer and have tehir relationship be a lot better (: they r autistic4autistic and it deepens their love for each other because of the way they understand each other on a deeper level <3 love wins
using discussing COMORBIDITY as a good segue between ocd and autism here . i think he is DEEPLY DEEPLY reliant on a routine she cant handle large changes theyre really upsetting for him they tend to lash out with frustration which they then feel badly about bc its not like hes actually Angry hes just panicking . this is another thing about the opposite day ep that was SOO autsim coded
okay so now ocd stuff IN PARTICULAR . i think a common loop he gets stuck in is just . staring at his clocks until it hits a SPECIFIC certain time like 11:11 or 12:24 or 10:01 or something like that and if he blinks when it hit that time he has to start over again with a NEW time on the dot . he gets stuck like that a lot ESPECIALLY when hes anxious a good bit of the time he spends locked in his office is just him staring at his clocks . tangentially i do think that her ocd gets SIGNIFICANTLY worse when she does her avoidant thing i think its a self feeding cycle where the mor she avoids the worse her symptoms are and vice versa . seek therapy miss martin <3 
ALSO . THIS IS A THING THATS CONSISTENT IN HIS ARC ITS A MAJOR PART OF WHY HES MY BIGGEST OCD HC . HE HAS THE OCD GUILT . like he gets that feeling where you get so obsessed with ur own guilt that you engage in compulsions to ease it or obsessively resolve it somehow in ways that are totally unhelpful or Alternatively obsessively avoid it hes got that going on to EXTREME DEGREES and i think it would influence the way she acts in the show
i think sydney knows a lot of jedidiahs rituals and tries to make them a little easier on him . small things that he doesnt usually bring up to her but if shes staring at the clock he wont interrupt her until she finishes UNLESS shes been staring at the clocks for hours in which case hell try and distract her a little bit (:
i think she used to have a LOT of religious obsessions when he was younger but theyve gone away a bit now that hes less entrenched in christianity . like he strikes me as the type who used to have a lot of religious morality obsessions as a kid but as he grew up those morality obsessions sorta Changed Shape and became more along the lines of just plain guilt obsession like i mentioned about earlier
once more projecting my ocd obsessions . jeddy has a BIG fear of immobility she jerks her hands and her arms around sometimes just to check that he still can move about freely its a very big fear of hers . she has a har dtime falling asleep sometimes because she keeps doing liil checks that her bodys still moving . sydney snuggling with her is a good distraction and grounding though (: 
SORRY I WENT ON A WHOLE RAMBLE . I AM INSANE ABOUT HIM

I need to share soft sign language buddies ninogami headcanon because they’re taking over my brain always:
(This got so long, so youre welcome if youre also starved for ninogami content)
Nino’s mom is Deaf , so he grew up signing as much as speaking. When he was younger he always signed as he talked.
It turned out he’s also Hard of Hearing, so sign language is way easier for him to understand most of the time.
However, though he’s great at making friends, he’s very awkward when it comes to talking about himself. So never comes up in conversation.
It’s not a self-deprication issue. It’s just a “thinking of things to say is hard and I’d rather have someone else do the talking” thing. He’d rather talk about anyone except himself.
Additionally! He’s great at helping other people, but he’s terrible at asking for help. He does not EVER want to be like “hey i cant understand what you’re saying, my ears dont work great,” its his worst nightmare
And it doesnt help that there have been a few cases of people being rude about it when he doesnt hear them after they repeat themselves. And possibly worse, there have been even more cases of people giving over-the-top apologies instead of just,, telling him what they said. So it’s not worth the trouble in his mind
with his few close friends who still dont know, it feels like its too late and it’d be awkward to bring it up, so he just… doesnt. He’s procrastinating on telling them he cant hear them
He stopped signing as much as he talked in middle school because strangers would always be like “woah thats so cool, how do you know sign language” and he’d just panic because he was an awkward tween, and he didnt know if he was comfortable telling them he was HoH, but ALSO just saying his mom was Deaf and not mentioning himself felt like directly lying by hiding information, so he just took the “lazy” way out and signed less in public.
Sometimes fighting the anxiety was not worth it so he just let it win in that case.
Nino is so nice and energetic and loves people, but he is way more introverted and anxious than his friends think.
But when they start to get closer, Kagami who is ever-observant, notices him signing a little bit, (not ever to her, not ever on purpose, but he’d sometimes sign a word he needed to remember while speaking or sign along to emphasize something)
and she luckily for his anxiety, she doesnt know how to have a normal conversation either.
Her (platonic as well as romantic) love language is studying and research, and Nino seems very cool and she likes him, even if she is awful at holding a conversation with him or doing anything to show it.
She thinks he’s so cool and such an amazing talented kind friend. She has so much love for him that she doesnt know what to do with it. So she channels that energy into learning to sign through the internet and whatever tools she can find
And then after a while of this, she’s like “oh no, he’s gonna think that’s so creepy, I cant tell him I know sign language or he’ll be so uncomfortable”
So, like a whole idiot, she hides that she’s learning sign language from anyone. Because OBVIOUSLY if word got back to Nino, he’d assume it was because of him and that she was a weirdo he shouldn’t be friends with
But also Kagami accidentally falls in love with sign language because she has undiagnosed autism. She always assumed that communicating was just going to be impossible no matter what, but as she gets proficient in sign language she’s like,,, oh,,, OH,, this is very nice
Even just signing while she talks makes it so much easier to keep words and sentances straight, but she only does it when she’s alone with her mother, who is literally blind and would never know.
They become closer friends in late high school, and by that time a lot of Nino’s anxiety has worn off and he’s become completely comfortable letting teachers know when he needs to hear somthing, and middle school feels like a distant dream
At some point, Nino invites Kagami to his house a few times, and he signs with his mom. Nino is like “I can interpret for you,” and Kagami is like “wow thanks, I’m so lucky, because I obviously do not know any sign language, why would I have learned it, and also for the record it is brand new information to me that you can sign,” and Nino is like “cool? Its not a secret but im glad i told you if you somehow didnt already know,” and Kagami is like, “yep :)”
But then eventually as they become really close, they are texting one night, (Kagami can still barely get out of her house, so they need to communicate remotely. And both of then HATE phone calls bc its so hard to understand whats happening, but neither of them have admitted this to anyone)
Nino admits that he likes using sign language better than talking, and he wishes he could use it with his friends, but he’d feel so guilty asking them to learn an entire language just to make him slightly more comfortable. He can talk and hear OKAY so he shouldnt put the pressure on them.
and Kagami is like “you could always ask, worst case scenerio they say no, and i dont think thats an unreasonable demand” and nino is like “it is though,” and kagami’s like “ok so haha funny story, please dont hate me” and nino is like, “…what.��� And kagami confesses everything and nino is like “why… why would i hate you for that?” And Kagami is like “oh wait youre right im stupid,”
And then Nino’s also like “hey if YOURE more comfortable signing too, then why dont YOU ask your friends to sign for you. Do you see what i mean? It’s hard to ask-” and kagami is like, “as your friend i will prove it is not.”
So then Kagami ends up confronting Adrien and Marinette the next day and is like “Hi. This is a sign language dictionary. Learn from it.” And they’re both like “what?” And she’s like “oh wait sorry. Backing up. I’m autistic. I decided like three years ago. Forgot to tell you. And I need you to learn to sign a little bit so you can understand if i sign something at you. If you want, of course. Please :D.” And theyre like “ok sure yeah i can do that.”
(Theyve already learned and accepted that shes extremely direct in asking for things)
So then she texts nino and is like “i did it. Youre welcome.”
But anyway both of them are uncomfortable in crowds and parties: Nino cant hear anyone and Kagami tends to get sensory overload, so they start signing mostly in those situations, and then it starts to sink in that they’re allowed to sign whenever and that the other really IS also comfortable with it.
(Both of them are much more willing to make sacrifices for others than to try something new and intimidating for themself, so this is the perfect situation to trick them into getting out of their comfort zone, ironically by trying to be more comfortable in the long run)
so they will just sit together and hang out and have long conversations while just chilling somewhere in a park or at cafes or whatever. Both of them become chattier than they’ve ever been because talking and understanding is so much easier, and its addicting
And their close friends all become proficient enough in sign language to have simple conversations.
But also Nino and Kagami start sitting together automatically even in group hangouts, and they start hanging out more with just the two of them, and soon neither of them feel bad about asking to hang out in quieter places, because they can justify it knowing that it will also help the other one, and together that makes both of them also more comfortable asking for little accomodations from other friends, if only to prove to the other that they can do it too.
And Kagami has the lesser-known autism side effect where she makes WAY TOO MUCH eye contact. She’s aware of it but that doesnt make it go away. Normally she feels so awkward about it, and overthinks her gaze because she doesnt want to scare people away. But when signing, you literally HAVE to be watching the other person constantly, so she has an excuse to just be herself, and its so relieving
(and also its kind of fun to look at Nino anyway because he can get so animated and his smile is really nice and oh no she is in love a little bit)
And Nino always struggles because he emotionally ALWAYS needs to be the nice polite one. His anxiety sometimes gets the better of him and he’s constantly worried about sending the wrong signals to his friends and coming off as rude somehow. But with Kagami, he can literally just ask?? And she will tell him her honest opinion without making it weird. And its so comfy and so good and he really loves hearing her unfiltered opinions on so many things because she sees the world in such a unique way and she gets so passionate about such little things and then oh no, he is fallen for her before he can realize it
And they also learn that they’re both artists, they both love to just observe the world because even if they;re awkward, people are actually pretty great most of the time, and its fun to observe them and try to capture the world, and they just sit together and sketch, or they watch each other sketch, and the thing is, both of them draw ONLY FOR THEMSELVES, its not a ‘skill,’ and they don;t want it to be, its just private art for relaxation. Somehow, though, its okay if they share their art with each other. They can just sit in comfortable silence for hours while one of them sketches something and the other watches patiently
And they start to get more comfortable with one of their heads resting on the other’s shoulder as they watch them doodle, and sitting so close their legs press together, and soon enough their hands start brushing against each other’s as they walk next to each other and then all of a sudden they’re casually holding hands whenever they’re not signing because it’s nice
They try to share headphones so Nino can share some of his favorite songs and his compositions with Kagami. But try as she might, Kagami can not handle the sensory of only having one earbud in. Nino knows her tells by that point, and he’s not about to let her suffer for a stupid reason, but she REALLY does want to hear his music. They somehow end up with Kagami putting a pair of headphones around her neck and turning up the volume a little bit so she can hear, while Nino rests his head on her shoulder so he can hear just enough to know where she is in the song
And then he has to sit up and scootch away just enough to see her hands so they can talk about it, and they both pretend not to notice how nice it was to snuggle as they sign. Its fine, though, because now they get the excuse to just look at each other again and sign overdramatically with exaggerated facial expressions, and no one else around can overhear their conversation, and Nino likes to go a little over the top when signing onomatopoeia and acting out particular parts of the song rhythm that he likes, and Kagami laughs, and they both mentally save the image of each other in this moment the same way that they look at reference images for artwork, memorizing the lines of each movement and the things that make each smile unique,
and Nino also shows up at every single one of her fencing tournaments, and he sits as close as he can and signs encouraging messages to her from the crowd whenever she’s not actively competing, (that her blind mom can never catch, which is somewhat of a bonus to Kagami, because every element of their friendship that her mother cant interact with makes this more personal and special and HERS). Every little sign she sends back at him, even a simple thank you, always feels so good and rebellious and free because shes supposed to be focusing on fencing but shes deciding to care more about friendship. And even if she’s expected to leave immediately afterword, she’ll find every excuse possible to find him and give him a hug, which he’ll always accept even though she jokingly warns him shes sweaty and gross
And eventually they are special best friends and it brings them instant joy to see each other and theyre able to interact for no reason other than that they want to and like each other
(And then they kiss)

okay like. you are right. but i disagree that its the great tragedy of saiki k. because the entire show is ABOUT how saikis friends a) love him even without knowing much about him, and b) very much would love and accept the real him
because like. saikis quiet and unassuming facade is meant to both go unnoticed AND to drive people away. he doesnt WANT friends. and in the beginning, people like kaidou and teruhashi are just looking for connection with ANYONE- and saiki is such a blank slate they can just project what theyre looking for onto him without saiki ever reciprocating. like when we first learn that kaidou pretends that saiki also has powers? saikis kinda just like [whatever, he can play his game of pretend, im not involved in it]. this is why saiki says so often in the early chapters that they arent even really friends- because they arent. kaidou and teruhashi and yumehara and hairo each have a made up image of saiki in their heads that they one-sidedly interact with (i believe nendou is an exception to this. but we never really get into his head to know for sure). and the only part of that that saiki has a problem with is that he keeps getting dragged into things. he would rather they not interact with him at all.
but by the end of the show its clear that saikis friends DO know him. they at least know the version of him that he shows them. they know hes unfriendly and doesnt talk much and doesnt show much emotion. but they still like being around him and wanna hang out together, and it BAFFLES him! saiki is trying his hardest to be completely uninteresting and unlikeable and unbefriendable. hes perfectly happy to just continue the dynamic of one-sided delusion, where they dont really know him and are only attached to the idealized version of him in their heads. but they were concerned by his out of character behaviour at the wrong-birthday and when toritsuka was disguised as him. teruhashi wished he was there at the mixer. they know that hes closed off and reserved and theyre FINE with it.
and it all comes to a head during the finale, when saiki gets caught using his powers and tells his friends that he cant explain. and nendou says it doesnt matter, because theyre still friends no matter how much saiki is hiding from them. and even though saiki has seen over and over again that his friends wont be driven away by his antisocial tendencies, that they genuinely like spending time with him even if he doesnt participate, and even that they wont turn him away when they learn about his powers, it STILL doesnt really sink in. because saiki has spent his whole life resenting his own powers and thinking no one will ever accept him for who he is! that hes too different from normal people and only people who are Like Him could possibly understand. unlearning that doesnt happen overnight.
and yeah, by the end of the show, saiki still hasnt had the chance to properly confess to his friends. but it ends with him fully embracing his own powers BECAUSE of his friends! they are very explicitly the catalyst to him deciding to take care of the meteor in the final scene. saikis powers are no longer a burden to him because he knows his friends will accept him. thats the emotional arc of the show!! yeah, we dont get to see the scene where he finally opens up to them, but personally i dont think we need to see it for it to be a satisying conclusion to his arc
so i can definitely see why you might find it sad- i mean, it takes him the WHOLE SHOW to work up the courage to open up, and we dont even get to see it! so its totally understandable. but personally i dont really find it tragic? and its probably because growing up undiagnosed autistic is just kinda Like That- thinking that normal people will never accept you just kinda becomes the background noise of your life, and you learn not to open up to people. and yeah, objectively its pretty sad, i wont argue that, but i think the fact that saiki grows past that mindset and finds people who do authentically love him, even if they will never truly understand him, is distinctly Not Tragic. he learns how to accept himself through his friends!! he gets a happy ending!! and i just really love that. have i mentioned that this is like my favourite show ever
[its definitely also a shame that we dont get to see saiki interact with, say, teruhashi the same way he interacts with the psychickers. but thats what fanfic is for!]
anyway! obviously not invalidating anything you said, because you are very much correct. i just kinda see it through a different lense and thought i would share :)
How Saiki wants to be perceived:
Not at all. He's just generic mob character #7536, thanks.
How Saiki's friends perceive him at first:
Projection Central... Depending on the person, he's a scaredy-cat, romance novel protagonist, former punk, flustered fanboy, a slacker who just needs some inspiration to become a sports star, etc...
How Saiki's friends perceive him at the end of the series:
Quiet, a little glum, kinda boring, but a good guy. Says "good grief" a lot.
How the Psychickers perceive him:
Sarcastic, stubborn, tsundere, a little childish, back-talker supreme, confident, a bit arrogant even, incredibly intelligent, lonely, silly, uptight, a soft touch, kind.
How Saiki ACTUALLY IS:
Sarcastic, stubborn, tsundere, a little childish, back-talker supreme, confident, a bit arrogant even, incredibly intelligent, lonely, silly, uptight, a soft touch, kind.
-> Only the Psychickers (and to some extent, his family) know and appreciate Saiki for who he actually is by the end of the series.
That's because Saiki is only ever comfortable revealing his true personality once the other person knows about his powers.
Until then, he will always try pretending to be a passive nobody, unless he thinks it can get a girl off his back (ex. against Teruhashi at the arcade, against Imu in the locker room).
Saiki remains nervous about telling his friends about his powers despite seeing it go off without a hitch in the alternate universe, and despite losing his powers first, because his friends might not like his "new"/actual personality.
We see early on in Kuboyasu's introduction that Saiki fears his relationships with his friends are fake because they're based on a huge lie and an even bigger pretense. We see that anxiety about his personality/persona not being palatable enough at the wrong-day birthday party. We see him mourn the fact that he can't be his real self at the mixer.
THAT is the great tragedy of Saiki K, that almost none of the people he loves actually know him in any meaningful way, not even by the end of the series!

Hi, I'm new here Who's Jay?
Hello new friend! thank you for leaping into my ask blog!
Okay so, Jayden Aphrodite Orton or as theyre known now Jay [SUPER OCCASIONALLY Jayden] Gray Orton. Was born on the 29th of November 1993, making her 29 now. However I kinda stick with him beign twenty eight. He is one of many wrestling OCS I have. Adopted by Willow and James Orton when he was two, she grows up a pretty normal girl in the normal household of girls do girl things and boys do boys things. She does ballroom dancing as a child and grows up with a passion for musical theatre and acting as well as medicine. He grows up wanting to be an actor until an unfortunate accident renders her hard of hearing/deaf [she uses the terms interchangably] which means that he now has hearing aids. He forgoes the desire to act to become a doctor instead, facianted by how people can just mend and heal like nothing bad happened.
At age thirteen her parents send her off to Blackpool, to an old friend William Regal who is going to teach Jay the art of wrestling as a way for her to get his extra energy out [plottwist its medicated/undiagnosed hyperactive ADHD] but Regal takes thsi little 13 year old from Chicago under his wings and trains him all the art of wrestling, Jay realises that she has a passon for death matches and hardcore wrestling, and shes damn fucking good at it. Jay goes to join NXT and meets Adam Cole. They become quick friends and mixed tag partners, which quickly breaks down into them becoming fuck-buddies with a lot of emotions attached until cole breaks up the tag team and chooses to go after and win the NXT title, making them enimies.
Up on the main roster, Jay struggles because theyre not allowed to do anything apart from a few high flying moveis and years go by where Jay just isnt happy in her position, made worse by coles call up. So this is when Jericho starts slowly manpulating and selling Jay on the idea of joining the JAS and AEW and so she shows up with the rest of the JAS. They start treating Jay at first like a princess a gloruos little angel who can do their dirtywork until she starts to loose matches and the JAS start getting annoyed and agrivated and start bullying them - cue wrestlers weekly standing up for this little new kid who keeps being picked on. Jay ends up doing a diving headbutt during a amtch with Kris Stratlander and cracks their head on both a steel chair and a ring anvas- he's concussed instatnyl nad really doesnt remember how she got backstage [the best friends and kris helped him there and wheeler looked after them and took her back to the JAS lockerroom]
Jay has their therapy rabbit Hemlock [yes, like the poision] there and shes chatting away to the rabit when he starts to completely like zone our and dissocate. This is where he meets kenny someone who treats them and calms him down and whene Jay first registers that theres someone else in the room she panics instantly cuz the JAS trained her to not show emotions especially those who are like sad or guilty emotions. Jay states that she doesnt know who kenny is, because theybve only really kinda seen him around and not spoken to him and Kenny sticks his hand out and goes "Kenny omega, now you know me!" and when jay introsduces themselve as "Jayden Orton" Kenny smiles and "nice to meet ya jay"
and everything kinda just snaps int place. Jay! Nobody had ever called them Jay before, like the bird and everything nice and kind. And thats a boys name, Jay wouldnt mind being a boy. Jay
she likes it.
so yeah Kenny provides an entire gender crisis. Jay snaps out of dissocation and switches for a panic attack which kenny helps and explains that "oh my partner has these sometimes, he really doesnt like to be alone sometimes.are you going to be okay?- Oh! you two should meet youd really like him! he's really kind, and cute."
Kenny in intensily queer around Jay and considering that shes never really been exposed to outwardly queer people and openly gender-queer people her mind goes all scrambled in a good way.
Some other things happen,. jay leaves the JAS, spends a lot of time lurking in dark corrdiors meeting more firneds. She keeps finding kenny and acddientally meets hanger when kenny is like inches away from getting him on his knees. The two of them make instant friends. The go dancing and to bars and Jay assumes that because she likes the name Jay, he cant be a girl- so he has to be a boy.
Adam cole worms his way back into Jays life as a foe and then someone that their boyrioends are fucking and then cole realises that shes trans femme and Jay realises that hes not a trans man but i nfact genderqueer. Jay and coles trans journeys are linked and ill go more uinto that if anyone else really wants to hear about it.
In the end Jay starts dating wheeler, kenny and both adams. wheeler is only dating jay. Kenny and the adams are all dating one another. The polycule is all disgustingly in love and adore each other.
Regal scoops up his now grandchild [as well as granddaughter/grandson- regardless os how jay feels regal will always be their grandpa] as the newest member of the BCC where she can finally have a family thats forged in blood and ocmbat as well as kindness and love. Mox gives them his ADHD meds sometimes.
Jay uses she/he/they/zey pronouns with no real prefrence and has a kinda punk/gothic vibe. He looks like a total bitch but really would and is a little murder machine with a heart of gold. They adore the bucks as brothers and is made an honourary young buck when she falls asleep on nick one day during an interveiw. They like to skateboard and play eletric guitar. He has a house in ohio which he shares with their black cat steve and obviously hemlock. They adore the rain and have so many scars and shit from stupid stunts and stuff they do. Has a blood kink and will explode with their see cowboy tits.
