in my head . convex r the peak queerplatonic partners . no one brings out the unhinged behaviour in one of them quite like the other, yk ? it’s gay as fuck though they’re not just friends they’re not lovers they’re just. convex . gay evil people . they would hit eachother with rocks but they have matching earrings . scar would shoot cub as hotguy with no remorse but when cub asked to buy his basement he didn’t hesitate to agree . u get it . they get eachother .

i know it depends what you're resting from and all that but I'd really like to hear about it! I feel like I'm running against a wall with all my strategies and everything I'm trying is counter productive and leaves me more stressed and in pain. So i just want to know what helps other people.

Please give me your How To Have Energy.

A dad and his kids were looking at reptiles and whatnot and asking me to take animals out for them so they could look at them and while one som was looking at the reptiles, the other was looking at the small animals and was playing with a mouse through the glass.

And the dad asked if he wanted the mouse just out of nowhere, and the kid said yes. So the dad asks if I can get the mouse for them to buy it, and I asked if they had an enclosure set up already (when I knew they didn’t, clearly) and the dad said they didn’t.

I told them we couldn’t sell it to him if he didn’t have an enclosure ready and he understood.

But he like… didn’t even seem like he was going to try to get it together while in the store? He was literally just going to buy the mouse and just like… take it home with just the box it came in. Because his kid said he wanted it (the kid didn’t even seem too into the mouse, the dad was trying to convince him to get it. Whole thing was kinda weird).

I just… like why would you ask for the animals before getting the stuff you need to take care of it?? We get people like that every single day. And sometimes we have to walk them through and help them find every single thing they’d need for the animals and tell them the basic care information that you should know before getting the animal.

And then you have the ones who no longer want to get the animal as you’re explaining to the care and stuff because it turns out to be “too expensive”, when the animal itself is like under 20 bucks. 20 bucks covers the animal, but you need a place to put it and stuff to feed it ya know.

-

Maybe it’s just the tism, but I don’t get impulse buying animals like that. I always research before I get something, even if it’s a cheap animal. Like my 8 dollar anole for instance, I researched anole care for weeks and had the enclosure setup way in advance before I got her. Don’t get me wrong, I have bought some animals over the years impulsively in the moment before, but only if I knew what I was getting into and had the means and money to take care of it.

I wouldn’t look at an animal I had no basic knowledge on and just ask to get it without knowing a single thing about it or it’s care. Like… why would you do that??

This turned into a rant, sorry. I’m just so tired of people, man lol.

I would deadass mean a lot to me if it was made canon that Willy, Ron and Scary all have aspd/npd/autisim. Like the(largely accidental)rep would be so great in my opinion.

I fully believe Ron also has npd but unlike Willy he had somewhat of a support system through his mother and later the dads.

Scary fundamentally struggles with empathy and connecting emotionally with others. As much as the "lol I'm an angsty teen girl who's a mean loser" is like a joke, its sorta played too over the top to not be indicative of something else here.

Even as a autistic child I knew there was something "wrong" about me. I felt out of step with reality and often that no one actually could understand me.

Scary is constantly trying to connect and then failing in a way that I actually think is really similar to Willy.

I always interpreted the Fishing Scene as Willy legitimately being like "uhhg ok what do dads do?? They take their sons fishing????" Willy was very loosely trying to be a "person" and the second it went wrong he gave up immediately and just went back to the solution that's worked for him since he was a kid dealing with annoyance/harm.

Repeatedly there are these moments where Scary, very awkwardly is attempting to connect/mask and be a part of the group and works for like 10 seconds and then she can't keep the jig up and goes back to her normal/natural behaviors. Specifically I think the DnD game is a good example of this for her. Its really common for people like us to have this tbh sorta irrational belief that we know the "right way to have fun". Travis McElroy actually talked about how his npd would often make him genuinely frustrated at his family during Graduation because they weren't playing it right and he would have to stop, think, and remember " oh I'm not the ultimate authority for fun and other ppl can play however they want"(did he actually do that? No, but still he's trying I guess)

When I was a kid I'd get mad at my brother for adding toy cars to our fantasy games cuz cars don't belong in dragons and princess political dramas and my mom would literally tell a 6 year old me "u know this is why no one plays with u at school right?" Absolutely devastating but she was right lol.

Scary being controlling and weird and saying no constantly during her game is such peak npd/autistic behavior. She thinks that her way is the "correct" and "fun" way to play and gets frustrated when they won't play right. And the worse part is that she's very clearly trying so hard here. This is uncomfortable and difficult for her to be vulnerable and open like this. But she can't seem to do it right and the end result is everyone playing without her. Once again proving in her mind that No One Understands her and that she's Alone.

Scary can't mask or connect in her own neurodivergent way and she's literally being left out. Her sense of empathy and right/wrong is slightly off from everyone else's and more often then not Link or Normal's reaction to that is to call her bad or just get(rightfully)angry at her for not being able to understand something that is literally not able to come to her naturally like everyone else.

Or maybe its just really funny for Scary to be a over the top emo teen and for Ron to be unhinged lunatic who will say the most hurtful and deranged shit of a whim. Lol its sorta difficult to apply this deep analysis cuz how much of this is Beth genuinely giving us character information and how much is it "oh wouldn't it be funny if I said who's ur daddy tho" and I'm supposed to just laugh and not go on a iasip style conspiracy on Ron's brain

[hobbitunderthemountain]

nothing like remembering weird nuggets of information and my coworkers are like wtf how do you know this I'm just shouting IDK IDK IDK IM AUTISTIC?!?? LITTLE SHIT LIKE THIS STICKS IN MY HEAD I GUESS????

[tokyoteddywolf]

[littlepurplewakiya]

I really want make a Kira playlist but I always get too squicked by the possiblity that someone will find it horrible & OOC and bully me for it but??? then I remember that the circle of everyone who even as much as acknowledges his existence at all consists of maybe 4 people and 5 lemurs in a trench coat pretending to be a person (aka me) and I honestly dk which is worse...

[ei-mugi]

i enjoyed getting heated over something silly for fun but im just now seeing some past distress ppl had over the poll on the blog & i feel a little bad haha i dont actually have any problem with ii or its fans like ive said i was one myself in the past

[nbstevonnie]

so my sister and i were chatting about self-diagnosing cause she'd done a test for ADHD and i was like 'yeah, i've also done ADHD and autism tests a few times' and she was like 'i can't lie, i've straight up done an autism test for you too' which. i can't help but find really funny 😂 like we both looked at me and went 'well, SOMETHING must be up' 😂

[fceriestcrdst]

my autistic ass avoided watching the x-files because i knew it would consume me....

& now here i am fully consumed even though I've only watched the first few handful of episodes of s1 (i'm regaining spoons needed for media consumption), but let me tell you w h a t!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was so excited i started crying because it combines unbridled pining, a skeptic & her believer husband partner, true crime, weird mythology, aliens (which i already knew abt obvi), unlikely besties who are prepared to square up at all times (re; scully being cold towards the agents mocking mulder & mulder being ready to fight g o d whenever anything happens to scully).

i just love the show a lot & i expected this but goddamn!!!!!! it's wormed into my spin category & now my alien spin is returning along with my 'unexplained happenings spin!!!!! i'm being consumed i tell you!!!!

[rexscanonwife]
