Taurus and virgo working to escape asap, analyzing the objects and being focused:
Pisces would help them too, giving importance to the little details:
Libra is running around panicking and capricorn silently judges them:
Aquarius is arguing with saggitarius about what a button can do:
Cancer & Scorpio are having fun bothering people but in fact, they have already resolved half the clues:
Gemini, leo & aries taking selfies for their social media because they need to show everything that goes on on their lives:
Finally, they escape:

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "đđźđđźâ" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
#yeehaw#1k#5k#10k#posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference#edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense#also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags#1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now#he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic#2) âwhy didn't he use đŤľđź?â didn't exist yet. âwhy didn't he use đ?â dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. đđź is an ok sign#like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent đđźđđź as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock#3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing#it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is#extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once#it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life#i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about#Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect#if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it#aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

i had a dream last night that i organized a tumblr meetup and we all agreed to go to a local bar together. so i go to the bar but it was a really busy night and i didn't want to ask every stranger "are u here for tumblr reasons" bc that's embarrassing and i'm shy. so i just got a drink and felt very awkward & hoped someone would approach me. tried to look inviting and like i was from tumblr but not like i was "from tumblr". when i left some girl stopped me to ask if i was there for the meetup but i was too shy and asked what's tumblr?
in the dream i went home to make a post about how nobody showed up to the tumblr meetup but my entire dash was people saying they'd gone to the bar but were too fucking shy to admit to being on tumblr so we'd all just had a drink and gone home
#i have very vivid usually very logical dreams due to my ptsd#i'm skipping the part where i was really nervous about what to wear bc i didn't want to wear the wrong thing#also the drinks were all pink & with umbrellas . also after this in the dream there was this guy#who had been there in a chicken costume and was ''funny'' but then he was always outside my window#down the street . in the store. etc.#just standing there . moving like he was drowning. he kept signing that he was choking#and i was too scared to help while his feathers .... floating and bloated in the dry air#.... while he begged me with his weird puffy wings. silently. choking and choking and choking. his toes barely touching down#and meanwhile im like sorry dude i gotta jump on tumblr to talk about this bar experience#dream me: okay the drowning on dry land chicken guy is fine. but i draw the line at social anxiety

Grass is green, water is wet, and Jonathan Byers does not like Steve Harrington.
These are known facts in the universe.
Computers were going to take over the world, a âmobileâ phone was being invented, and Steve Harrington had lost most of his hearing.
These were unknown facts--rumors even, if you will. Eddie had never seen even a grain of truth to support any of them.Â
(Well, maybe the computer thing, but only because Grant and Dustin both had made a couple of convincing arguments.)Â
So he doesnât think about it, when his freshman gang up on him.Â
Doesnât even factor the âcanât hear wellâ thing in, when he was tasked (demanded, whined, bitched and moaned at) with helping them explain to Steve why going to the release party of the new D&D box set, located at a hobby store only a mere 2 hour drive away, was important.
Eddieâs not even sure how the little shits got him to agree to do it until heâs standing in the parking lot in front of the former King himself.Â
âThe storeâs leading up to the release with a handful of one-shots.â Heâs explaining, unsure whether to pull out the bored act or play up his court jester persona, and thus mixing and matching on the fly.Â
He does not care if Harrington doesnât know what a one-shot is.Â
âTheyâre releasing the set at midnight. You have to be there to get it though, you canât have someone else pick it up for you because they only got a certain amount in.âÂ
Harringtonâs frowning (no surprise) but itâs not until Eddie is well into his spiel about how his van is already full with the elder members of Hellfire, and thus has no room for the freshmen, that he realizes Steve isnât quite looking at him.Â
Is in fact, looking over his shoulder.
Eddie stops. Follows Harringtonâs gaze.
Parked across from Steveâs Beemer, is Jonathan Byerâs barely working clunker car.Â
A handful of steps in front of it, and thus nearly right behind Eddie, is the man himself.
His hands are still moving, mouth shaping words silent as he goes, his gaze locked not on Eddie or the kids--but on Steve.Â
Who turns back around as Harringtonâs eyes slide right back to him.Â
âAnd this is taking place next Friday?â He says, in that sort of annoyed but resigned way parents aim at their children. âAfter school?âÂ
âIâd like to go during school, but the freshmen insist you wouldnât let them ditch out.â Eddie tells him. âThey had two separate arguments about it.âÂ
Loud ones, that had interrupted the game and given Eddie a migraine.Â
Once again Steveâs eyes slide away from him, to Jonathan.Â
âTheyâre not skipping school.â He says suddenly, a glare forming and Jonathan makes an annoyed noise.Â
âThey argued about skipping, theyâre not going to.â He says aloud, and finally steps up so that heâs next to Eddie instead of behind him.Â
âMunson slow down, I canât sign as fast as youâre talking.â He adds, in the hang-dog grumble heâs notorious for.Â
Eddie stares at him.Â
âCan he seriously not hear me?âÂ
âNo.â Steve and Jonathan answer together.Â
âI can kind of still hear,â Steve adds, gaze returning to Eddieâs face. âBut its more loud music or noises. I can lip read, but youâre also talking too fast for that.âÂ
Without pausing, he turns back to Jonathan and says; âWhy canât you take them?â
âItâs Friday.â Byers deadpans.Â
Eddieâs not an expert on sign language, but his hands somehow looked deadpan too.Â
Heâs not sure how Jonathan did that.Â
âSo?â Steve snarks back.Â
What follows is an argument that Eddie is not, at all involved in, mostly because heâs too busy handling the fact that Jonathan Byers has learned sign language, for Steve Harrington, apparently, and given the tone the argument is taking they still donât even like each other. Â
Eventually the argument ends, Steve throwing his hands in the air and demanding that Jonathan owes him.Â
(Eventually Eddie will corner the ever so quiet Will Byers and ask why the hell his brother learned sign language for someone he clearly fucking hates.
âOh they donât hate each other.â Baby Byers would say, in that shy, quiet way of his. âI think theyâre actually friends now?âÂ
âYou think?â
âWell--youâve seen them.â Will shrugs. âI think being mean to each other is kinda their thing.âÂ
âWhat the hell.â Eddie would think, right up until he stumbled across one of the kids sign language books.Â
Byers the Elder, he decides, isnât the only person who should learn sign language to chew out Harrington properly.
The pay off is immediate.Â
Or at least, the pay off of watching Steveâs shocked face the first time Eddie signs something vulgar at him is, anyway.)
#you can read this as#stonathan#or as#steddie#or as all three idc LOL#steven harrington#eddie munson#jonathan byers#I am once again back on my shit of Jonathan and Steve having THEE most antagonistic friendship#just constantly slinging insults and being low key mean to each other#and then Jonathan just casually signing the same way the party does to help Steve out once his hearing really starts to go#very much#âYoure a fucking dick and I hate you but also youre family and includedâ#eddie is BAFFLED#but is equally quick to jump on that bandwagon#0o0 fanfics#if asked Jonathans excuse as to why he learned sign language is so he can make sure Steve is properly hearing him talk shit about him#very âhe needs to know hes wrongâ vibes#Nancy and robin sigh very dramatically about it#Steve can actually read jonathan's lips the easiest/clearest and refuses to tell anyone that#but Jonathan somehow knows anyway

Prompt 271
âGrandmother is visiting,â Damian suddenly said with no warning and with his usual not-quite demanding tone.Â
âWho?â Tim wasnât the only one to startle, seeing as Bruce had practically froze, a downturn to his lips in a silent show of confusion.Â
Damian scowled. âAre you deaf Drake? Grandmother is coming to Gotham to, quote, make sure I am being properly cared for.â None of them had known that Ras was with anyone actually. At least Tim was pretty sure that would have been in the files.Â
âOh?â Dick didnât quite crouch to Damianâs height but it was a near thing. âShe-â âHe,â Damian corrected, interrupting him. They all exchanged a glance before Dick continued.Â
âIs he coming to the Manor orâŚâÂ
Damian scoffed again, a tiny bit of a flush against his face. âNo, Grandmother will most likely be staying with Akhi-â
Now wait one moment-
âYOU HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER?!âÂ
#DCxDP#DPxDC#Prompts#Deadly Decisions#Danny & Ras are the homoerotic rivals that no one knows if theyâre flirting or attempting a murder#Itâs actually both theyâre just also both Immortal#Danny to Jason: You can become a crime lord if you finish college- youâve said you wanted to get a degree this is ur chance#Dusan (nodding): Mother has made all of us finish at least our basic education nephew#Why yes this does mean that RH has just made the heads in a duffel bag debut & the bats have no clue itâs Jason#Normally Danny wanders the universe but RAS (affectionately derogatory) HOW DARE U TRY TO HIDE THE GRANDCHILDREN#Morally Gray Danny#Heâs well over 300 and that has an affect lol#Also has some fun fae vibes thx to his ghost half & human half finally balancing out#Let Jason & Damian be brothers#Tiny Damian: Akhi look I found a frog :>#Jason (newly not brain damaged & has no clue who this small child is): âŚ.

Astrology Mini Observations #ď¸âŁ8ď¸âŁâŚď¸âŁď¸âĽď¸â ď¸đ
đ˛Having many placements in your chart at 0 degrees could mean that you embody the characteristics of the sign or ruler of the planet itâs in. Youâre most likely a young soul meant to start your journey.
đ˛Heavy Uranian influence in your chart could indicate potential for owning your own business and carving your own original path in life. Especially if itâs in houses like the 2nd, 6th, or 10th.
đ˛Everyone labels Sagittarius as the jokesters and âlife of the partyâ optimists of the zodiac (which they can be) but it isnât emphasized enough how ambitious and driven they can be when they finally commit to a goal or ideal they believe in. Jupiter rules morals and philosophy so if their goals align with their values, the greater benefic Jupiter will light the way for them to accomplish anything they set their minds to. They are after all, a fire sign.
đ˛Your part of fortune shows where youâll experience fortune and blessings in life but also look to where your Ceres is placed too. Asteroid Ceres could also shed light on to where you both nourish and experience nourishment in life.
đ˛12th housers could experience sleep paralysis/nightmares more commonly than other placements. Especially Pluto, moon, and Neptune in the 12th house.
đ˛I honestly see Saturn in the 12th house as a, âthereâs nothing to fear but fear itself.â placement. Since Saturn can rule fears and restrictions and with it being in the 12th, there could be struggles with more anxiety around phobias than others.
đ˛Sagittarius Venus gets a bad reputation for being the âcommitment phobsâ but other than this observation, this is an extremely underrated beauty placement. Jupiter literally expands upon everything it touches, so with it blending with Venus here it could mean youâre quite beautiful and stand out for this reason. This could also mean youâre also blessed with a lot of options romantically.
đ˛Everyone Iâve known with significant Mercury dominance in their chart loves podcasts and/or has one themselves. Mercury loves communicating and exchanging ideas/information.
đ˛If you have cardinal dominance in your chart, you have strong potential for leadership roles and initiating great things into being. Cardinal signs (Aries, cancer, Libra, Capricorn) are the great leaders of the zodiac being the first of each season. This could also signify entrepreneurship potential too.
Until next time!! đđźđ˝

I've seen people remark on how awkward the 1967 scene is and that is so frustrating because, for me, it is one of the most emotionally resonant flashbacks in the entire series. It is so multifaceted and ripe with implication and that assertion is baffling. As though just because this conversation appears to be hard for them, it must mean that there has to be some sense of weirdness or awkwardness between them?
This scene feeds heavily into my theory that 1941 ended in some sort of aborted romantic moment between the two, most likely initiated by Crowley. Aziraphale can barely stand to look at Crowley because the very first moment he looks him in the face, he can't stop himself from giving him this hooded eyes, barely contained look of longing.
The next thing we see is Aziraphale immediately launching into a statement about his fear for Crowley's existence that is as brutally sincere as it is heartrending. His eyes are wide, his voice is heavy with emotion, and it's clear that he is terrified beyond belief to lose Crowley. Even as he acquiesces and gives him the holy water, you can see that he wants to take it back and deny him it all over again.
Then, of course, Crowley asks if he can give him a lift, which is definitely something that they both know is a totally different question than what lies on the surface, given that they're mere feet from the bookshop and at first Crowley frowns so deeply that it's almost cartoonish but a moment after Aziraphale turns him down you get this glimpse of very real sadness:
Aziraphale sees it for what it is and in an attempt to comfort him, without being able to do what currently seems impossible to him, shares a fanciful but resigned fantasy about spending time together unbothered and unrestrained, all to the tune of these tight little, loving smiles:
When he asks again, you can just see Crowley's desperation for Aziraphale not to go. It's hard to say how long they'd been apart, but it's safe to say that for them, that previous interaction likely is very fresh in their minds.
Aziraphale has always been more fearful than Crowley when it comes to their feelings for each other. You could even potentially look at the holy water as a metaphor for their relationship. In his expressions of concern about The Arrangement, Aziraphale has always been remarking on how Crowley could be destroyed, similarly to his words here. So when he's telling him, "You go too fast for me, Crowley," what he's really saying is, "I'm terribly afraid and I'm not ready to take that step if it means that I could lose you." And it's plain to see by the wistful look on his face that it pains him greatly to say it:
The scene so quickly cuts to Crowley looking intensely at the holy water after Aziraphale has left the car (as if trying to convince you that that was the real point of the scene) that it's easy to miss this devastated expression on Crowley's face:
There's no look of perceived rejection on his face. Just a somber look of resignation. There are so many barriers in front of them, and I think that Crowley was willing to risk it but understood that Aziraphale wasn't ready to.
This is the most honest and laid bare we ever see these two be when it comes to their emotions. There's so much being said without being said and even their actual words (i.e. Crowley remembering exactly the amount of time when the 'fraternizing' conversation happened) are so full of emotion that it might even be a bit hard for some people to watch.
It's not awkward. It's just that the scene is just so incredibly earnest and heavy with coded language that it's easy to be swept up by the fact that the two aren't engaged in their typical banter and bickering. What we truly have here is an incredibly difficult and loving conversation between two people who are stuck in a seemingly impossible situation.

crows use tools and like to slide down snowy hills. today we saw a goose with a hurt foot who was kept safe by his flock - before taking off, they waited for him to catch up. there are colors only butterflies see. reindeer are matriarchical. cows have best friends and 4 stomachs and like jazz music. i watched a video recently of an octopus making himself a door out of a coconut shell.
i am a little soft, okay. but sometimes i can't talk either. the world is like fractal light to me, and passes through my skin in tendrils. i feel certain small things like a catapult; i skirt around the big things and somehow arrive in crisis without ever realizing i'm in pain.
in 5th grade we read The Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night-time, which is about a young autistic boy. it is how they introduced us to empathy about neurotypes, which was well-timed: around 10 years old was when i started having my life fully ruined by symptoms. people started noticing.
i wonder if birds can tell if another bird is odd. like the phrase odd duck. i have to believe that all odd ducks are still very much loved by the other normal ducks. i have to believe that, or i will cry.
i remember my 5th grade teacher holding the curious incident up, dazzled by the language written by someone who is neurotypical. my teacher said: "sometimes i want to cut open their mind to know exactly how autistics are thinking. it's just so different! they must see the world so strangely!" later, at 22, in my education classes, we were taught to say a person with autism or a person on the spectrum or neurodivergent. i actually personally kind of like person-first language - it implies the other person is trying to protect me from myself. i know they had to teach themselves that pattern of speech, is all, and it shows they're at least trying. and i was a person first, even if i wasn't good at it.
plants learn information. they must encode data somehow, but where would they store it? when you cut open a sapling, you cannot find the how they think - if they "think" at all. they learn, but do not think. i want to paint that process - i think it would be mostly purple and blue.
the book was not about me, it was about a young boy. his life was patterned into a different set of categories. he did not cry about the tag on his shirt. i remember reading it and saying to myself: i am wrong, and broken, but it isn't in this way. something else is wrong with me instead. later, in that same person-first education class, my teacher would bring up the curious incident and mention that it is now widely panned as being inaccurate and stereotypical. she frowned and said we might not know how a person with autism thinks, but it is unlikely to be expressed in that way. this book was written with the best intentions by a special-ed teacher, but there's some debate as to if somebody who was on the spectrum would be even able to write something like this.
we might not understand it, but crows and ravens have developed their own language. this is also true of whales, dolphins, and many other species. i do not know how a crow thinks, but we do know they can problem solve. (is "thinking" equal to "problem solving"? or is "thinking" data processing? data management?) i do not know how my dog thinks, either, but we "talk" all the same - i know what he is asking for, even if he only asks once.
i am not a dolphin or reindeer or a dog in the nighttime, but i am an odd duck. in the ugly duckling, she grows up and comes home and is beautiful and finds her soulmate. all that ugliness she experienced lives in downy feathers inside of her, staining everything a muted grey. she is beautiful eventually, though, so she is loved. they do not want to cut her open to see how she thinks.
a while ago i got into an argument with a classmate about that weird sia music video about autism. my classmate said she thought it was good to raise awareness. i told her they should have just hired someone else to do it. she said it's not fair to an autistic person to expect them to be able to handle that kind of a thing.
today i saw a goose, and he was limping. i want to be loved like a flock loves a wounded creature: the phrase taken under a wing. which is to say i have always known i am not normal. desperate, mewling - i want to be loved beyond words.
loved beyond thinking.
#spilled ink#writeblr#personal#please don't ask me to talk on my experience on the spectrum lol. i hate how ppl talk to me about it#i really try not to write so specifically about it#bc inevitably someone talks to me like im a child#i think this is the first time i've ever openly identified with it but i've been hinting for years#i might delete this. feels big.#the thing is that being on the spectrum actually IS a spectrum#and if u say ur autistic#inevitably someone makes an assumption about ur needs/symptoms#please do not treat me differently than u usually would. like.... we can tell when you do#and like i mention. i do appreciate the effort. i do truly appreciate the effort.#but it still feels like...#when i was blind. sometimes people kind of did the same-ish thing.#they'd find out i was blind and start talking really loudly?#and while i KNOW they're just trying to help. it would be like. i'd be trying to find#the right way into a building (sometimes only 1 door is unlocked and i couldn't see the signs posted about where to go)#and ppl would be like ''OH UR BLIND? YES SO THIS IS A DOOR. IT OPENS INTO THE BUILDING. IT IS LOCKED NOW."#''A DOOR CAN BE FOUND IN MANY LOCATIONS.''#and it feels like. when i admit to being autistic#someone comes screeching into my life being like THIS IS A DOOR.
