Yk what time is it ?

Autistic Odysseus headcanon time

He's the total opposite of Diomedes.

For example, he has mastered the arts of social clues.

Why he is a so good liar ? Bc all of his reactions actually are lies.

Even when his feelings and thoughts are sincere, what he shows (facial expressions, tones, body language...) are all consciously made up to look more "normal". So it's pretty much impossible to tell if he's sincere

Picky eater. He would rather starve than eat any of his no-foods.

Blood is a sensory hell (sticky + warm is a horrible combination) so not only he's usually the first one to the baths but also he will do pretty much anything to avoid getting blood on him

Eyes contact is horrible. He will do anything to avoid making eye contact (and if he rly has to, then he's gonna be terribly awkward)

He has echolalia but will gaslight anyone who points it out ("wdym, I didn't say anything")

Masking so much all day long (although "acting normal" has became a habit and he's barely aware of doing effort anymore) is actually exhausting and every day he needs a little "time out" when he's alone (or with someone he's comfortable with, but not directly interacting) to cool down properly. (Which tends to take on his hours of sleep. For example during Troy the war councils sometimes lasted until late in the night, and once back to his tent he still needed his calm time before being able to fall asleep)

When he gets overwhelmed he tends to go nonverbal, and to shut down if it gets too bad.

Anyways I don't have a meme picture to end this one but

Diomedes - doesn't know what is a social clue

Odysseus - social clues r his special interests

Achilles - knows about social clues and purposely fuck up as many as possible

Just a lil slice of TreyJade

... featuring eel-form Jade being a scary, teasing predator, and Trey being totally into it.

Also, feedism--I left the actual feeding part as a cliffhanger though, because I am lazy evil. Muahaha.

♧

Trey arrived at the largest of Octavinelle's pools, with a large picnic basket under his arm and a swing in his step. Setting the basket down, he sat by the pool, took off his shoes, cuffed his pants, and gingerly dipped his toes in the inky black water. He introduced his bare feet slowly, one centimeter at a time, getting used to the cold that nearly took his breath away.

He was not there for more than a minute before v-shaped ripples appeared in the water, heading his way.

Soon a spiky dorsal fin appeared, cutting through the water faster than seemed natural. Trey resisted the urge to yank his feet back out of the water.

Before him, Jade appeared, breaching the water only to chin-height, so his mouth was out of the water enough to take in a breath of air, then say, "You know, if it had been Floyd swimming tonight, I doubt he could've resisted the urge to grab your ankles and pull you under."

Trey only chuckled. 

"Yeah, but I knew it was you. And you'd never do such a thing."

Jade reached out to put a wet hand on Trey's knee, pulling himself further up out of the water, head tilting to the side as his gills widened to exhale water, so he was breathing air properly.

"You knew it was me?"

"Sure," Trey replied, placing his own hand atop the ice-cold, webbed one. "You agreed to meet me here tonight."

He leaned forward to give the eelmer a kiss on the forehead--laughing as the Jade's ear-fins flared in response.

"Also," Trey pointed out, "you always swim in straight lines, while Floyd... well."

Jade lowered his head and grinned toothily.

"That my brother gets easily distracted is no secret."

"Ah," Trey laughed too, adjusting his glasses, "I was going to say he 'tends to meander more,' or something like that."

"My dear Trey-san." Jade slid what Trey realized was a shoulder-strap down the length of one finned arm, and hauled what at first appeared to be some sort of messenger bag, dripping, out of the water. "Diplomatic as ever."

"Naturally," Trey replied, one eyebrow raised pointedly at the bag Jade was setting down at the pool's edge beside him. 

He now realized the bag was more of a woven net, filled to the brim with dark, glistening shapes that were shedding water rapidly, and... 

Some were wriggling.

Trey coughed.

"Not that I want to dissuade you from thinking that I'm 'diplomatic,'" he said, scooting to the side in hopes of keeping the growing puddle of water seeping out of the net-bag from completely soaking his pants, "but did you just put a bag of live sea creatures next to me?"

Jade somehow managed to make a chortle sound predatory. A clawed, web-fingered hand went up to cover his mouth. Glints of dagger-like teeth showed just a bit through his fingers.

"My apologies, Trey-san, but... I thought we had agreed to share our meals with each other tonight?"

"Oh," Trey said, looking at the bag of squirming fish and unidentifiable other things, and biting his lip. "So you just brought a ton of seafood. I could've guessed."

"Fresh-caught," Jade said by way of agreement. The eel grinned proudly, even as he ducked his head to pick something *large* from between his teeth. "You'll forgive me if I helped myself to a few of the unlucky morsels that I couldn't quite fit in the bag before you arrived. The nostalgia of aquatic hunting does whet my appetite so."

This statement was punctuated with a low, gurgling growl, which it took Trey a belated moment to realize had come from Jade's stomach, distorted and muffled slightly by being still underwater.

"Oh," Trey said, "yeah. That's. Ummm. You're hungry, huh?"

He could feel his face burning. Hoping to distract from how flustered he was feeling, he turned and pulled his own picnic basket closer.

"Well, fear not," Trey assured, lifting the basket lid and tilting it slightly to show off its contents to Jade. "I came prepared."

Indeed, Trey had packed his basket to the brim with goodies: chicken salad sandwiches on croissants with fresh veggie sprouts, cheese and jelly danishes, mini-quiches in cupcake foil, pasta salad, and spicy deviled eggs topped with green onions and bacon.

While Trey was in his element baking-- his cookies and cakes that were the undisputed centerpieces of Heartslabyul's famous Unbirthday parties--his picnic game was not to be underestimated.

"That looks, and smells, simply delectable, Trey-san," Jade murmured, pupils narrowing to sharp little pricks as he took in the picnic basket's contents. Muscles cording up, like a big cat getting ready to pounce.

Though he trusted Jade, Trey couldn't help the instinctual shiver that ran down his spine, as some instinct-driven, ancestral part of his brain recognized the intent of the huge seafaring predator who'd practically crawled into his lap, licking his lips with a delicate, baby-blue tongue, nearly twice the length of Trey's.

Seawater had at this point soaked fully through Trey's pants, making Trey glad that he'd had the foresight to bring a change of clothes. He just hoped the oddly glittery mucosal layer coating Jade's eel-hide would come off in the wash.

"Careful," Trey warned, as Jade's dripping upper body leaned ever closer to the picnic basket. "If you get the sandwiches wet, they'll fall apart."

Jade halted in his advance, then lowered his upper body down into the water, chin resting on Trey's knee, affecting a pout. Twelve feet away, Trey could see the fan-like tip of the eel's tail flicking back and forth, disgruntled.

"Then how am I supposed to eat them?" Jade asked sadly.

Trey ran his fingers comfortingly through Jade's damp hair, a sly grin forming.

"Well--and this is only a suggestion--but, you *could* let me feed them to you."

Jade gazed up at him, eyes narrowing, but forming arched half-moon shapes that Trey at this point knew signified amusement rather than annoyance.

"You'd like that, wouldn't you?" Jade nearly purred.

Trey tried but likely failed to keep the shiver of anticipation from his voice as he confessed, 

"Yes, I'd like that a lot."

What is Affection Game?

The Overview

Affection Game contains a small deck of cards and guidelines through the mechanics of intentional conversations.

By following the steps, you will:

thoughtfully invite people to meet with you

create a space that is comfortable for you and your companion(s)

choose cards for each session based on your levels of comfort with each other

practice your listening skills so everyone at the table feels considered

share what you appreciated learning about your companion(s)

Why did I make this game?

The condensed version is: I reunited with someone very dear to me, and when we decided to start a relationship together I realized... wow I am bad at communicating my feelings. Emotionally constipated, if you will. Great at performing, but bad at actually revealing what is underneath all my armor and costumes.

My partner and I both make games, so it made sense to develop a card game for us to communicate through.

Affection Game has grown with that relationship and my own personal development since 2017, all the way until mid-2022 when I was finally satisfied by how I worded the prompts. By that point, I realized my communication issues stemmed from anxiety, and I knew I needed these cards to help me overcome my fear in order to advocate for my needs and speak about my insecurities.

So yeah! The game says “You Win With Vulnerability” in the physical box art, and it rings true. Speaking up for my needs and opening up to navigating differences in a relationship with kindness really helped my relationship survive a lot of my historic bad habits.

A word of caution!

Full disclosure: the game by itself doesn’t make relationships better.

You and whoever you invite to your table must have the intention to be there for each other as both separate parts and pieces that make up a sum. All must be willing to navigate difficulties and celebrate strengths together. And you ultimately should make improvements that feel good for yourselves and each other.

I will always be anxious and have insecurities, but I can find ways to focus more on the fondness I have for my long-term partner. I can use those kinder feelings to fuel how I talk about my needs and insecurities.

Basically: your game sessions will only be as good as the energy you and other people bring to them.

Where can you get this game?

Get the digital game on the Roll 20 platform

Get the physical card game on The Game Crafter site

If you play, let me know how you liked it! I love to learn how my game is used in different relationships (even if the result is “my partner felt so uncomfortable they begged me to never bring these cards out again”)

If you have any questions about the game that I haven’t answered yet, drop them in my ask box! A ton of work went into this game that I forget to mention when I'm writing these things unprompted on my own!!

Oh no, you're telling me the guy who designed a birdcage to kill absolutely everyone on the island is in a toxic relationship? Shocker
