#verbal crash

[entity56]

kinda funny thinking about how my main defense mechanism is freeze (shutting down, having verbal crashes and/or going stiff) and how im goat adjacent so i just kinda

[shsl-leader]

am i allowed to use aac/communication cards if i have verbal crashes /gen

sometimes its not impossible for me to speak but its difficult and im tired. i'm not semiverbal, just drained.

[fan-fucking-tasty]

nothing like a nice walk with good music to make me verbal crash ig? only ever really verbal crashed for bad reasons.

[kens-ramblings]

so ik it’s not cannon accurate but,,,

i need a fic of tim just crashing out.

like he gets so sick of like damian and jason talking about how weak he is and shit like that that he’s like “yall realize lady shiva was my one of my FIRST teachers, and i was the first robin she trained. i had to train under b AFTER he already lost a robin. you DONT think he was 10x harder on me than any of you guys???? there’s a reason my training videos are mainly redacted without bruce’s or my permission. i got ra’s al ghul BEGGING ME to join his league or have my children. i get gifts from him WEEKLY. do you KNOW how many of his little ninja i fight per DAY??? nahh im sick of this shit let’s take it to the mats” and just demolishing both of them at the same time.

i just think it’d be very funny. i just like fics of people who pretend to be weaker than they are(or they just never really have a reason to go full tilt so they just don’t) get sick of holding back and just losing it :D

What if Shen Yuan was transmigrated into Shang Yuan, youngest son in the merchant Shang family and Shang Qinghua's little brother.

At first Shang Qinghua doesn't put much thought into it. He never did write much of a backstory for the other peak lords, so it makes sense the world has kind of just, written itself? Shang Yuan is several years younger anyways (I'm thinking 7-10 years) so it's not like he has a lot in common with him either. Shang Qinghua even joined CQM when he was barely out of toddlerhood. Shang Qinghua was fully prepared to just slowly fade out of sight and mind in his new family, just like he had in his old one.

Except this kid just really hates his guts? He gets letters regularly from his family, telling him how a-Yuan has been asking about him. But every time he visits the brat just shouts and kicks him around. All out of sight of their parents so he can't even go and complain to them! In their eyes Shang Yuan is their perfect little angel.

Honestly, Shang Qinghua isn't even that surprised the original goods turned into a villain if this was how he grew up. And oops, did he say that out loud? Shang Qinghua peeks down at the rigid brat he's holding under his arm in an attempt to stop him from trying to beat him up. With big eyes the kid turns his head up and whispers "you're a transmigrator too?".

From that day on Shang Qinghua can't help but feel a little bit less lonely, and maybe even a little happy. Who would have thought his number 1 anti fan would transmigrate into his didi! They start writing letters, both complaining about the system, and Shang Qinghua about the sect and his martial siblings. When he starts working for Mobei-jun he tells Shang Yuan everything about it. He even has a reason to go back and visit his family!

Shang Qinhua quickly accepts his responsibility as gege. Helping (or trying to) his little didi grow up to a nice young man and giving tips when Shang Yuan starts cultivating as well. And despite Yuan-di's tsundere behavior, Shang Qinghua knows he has his back as well.

In his own badly written stallion novel, Shang Qinghua finally finds the family he didn't have in the real world.

Now as for pairings. Bingyuan would be hilarious just because I want Shang Qinghua to ask, with a shit eating grin, how long Shang Yuan has been coveting his own nephew. And then for Shang Yuan to try and beat the shit out of him for it.

Jiuyuan would also be an interesting pairing (it can always be a jiuyuan if you're brave enough). Shang Qinghua knows his scum villain is misunderstood and not as bad as the book and rumors portrays him to be. But also he knows Shen Jiu is at least a dozen traumas in a trenchcoat. Does it really have to be his didi helping Shen Jiu deal with all of that? Sure Shang Yuan doesn't seem to mind, but Shang Qinghua also knows his didi makes some really stupid choices if you take your eyes off him. But also he's too much of a coward to say anything to Shen Jiu's face.

Hm, better to keep an eye on that from a distance.

Curly's Bizarro Moment Isn't About Red Flags

I swear I don't have anything against Curly missing red flags lol but it just doesn't add up to me. It's like everyone saw the red warning screens and went "yup this is about Curly ignoring red flags" and I'm like "what about everything else though?" When looking at this scene I see anxiety. This scene looks like what anxiety feels like.

First the stairway to the cockpit expands until it looks never ending. Have you ever had to walk towards something you dread and it feels like forever as your fear builds? That's these stairs.

After the stairs is just a drop off into darkness. The space around him is composed of dirty industrial pipes. And Curly doesn't jump off he walks off the edge. This is unknown, hostile, and inevitable feeling.

Then he lands into a sea of blood with the expanse of space above. Glaring red Emergency signs and jagged broken looking ladders pop up in his path. Seas of blood are just not good and space feels empty to Curly now based on his character quote. We know the ladder represents his dissatisfaction with his job. As for the signs they're not just warning signs but Emergency screens from the cockpit. There's a sense of urgency to them. Less "watch out" and more "danger is here!"

And then the sun rises and then Curly walks straight into it. It's blindingly bright and all consuming.

Finally the cockpit door appears in an empty isolated blank space. Separated from everything and everyone. Just Curly and Jimmy in the void.

I hope I got across how this is just Anxiety: the Cutscene. I mean it's also foreshadowing for Curly but that's for another time. Walking up to Jimmy's psych eval fills Curly with so much negative emotions. Anxiety, fear, isolation, dread, and how much he hates his job. This isn't the only time the game gives us cues that Curly is feeling anxious as he approaches Jimmy. As Curly rushes to meet Jimmy for their final confrontation the soundtrack changes to resemble a panicked heart beat.

Whether he realizes it or not Curly is afraid of Jimmy. Curly's been afraid of Jimmy since before the start of the game.

I noticed that the Mouthwashing fandom and sometimes even the game (though that may be due to it being from J*mmy’s perspective) tends to be very dehumanizing towards Curly post-crash. He is often treated like a burden or straight up corpse. But the only truly corpse-like thing about him is the fact that he has no skin (because that is literally impossible to survive). For a bit, I thought his limbs were missing entirely, or at least above the elbows and knees. Even then, I wrote out a whole thing on ways he could use (slightly more advanced) IRL devices that people with his disabilities use now. 

I thought it could be more interesting to explore Post-Canon Curly using assistive technology without it being super sci-fi levels of advanced or going into certain disability tropes. I had a whole list of ideas for types of devices he could use besides prosthetics (or at least arm/hand prosthetics), and I might honestly still put it out there. It just was to show that Curly would still be capable of a lot of things, and though he would need help from others in certain areas and would need physical training, he could do a lot. I think the only thing that was ever truly holding him back was the pain of not having skin.

The most frustrating part of this is that even while still in the Tulpar with no technology for communication, there are ways he could communicate. One that I thought of is morse code. He may not have lips, but he has a functional jaw. He could open his mouth to represent dots and dashes, or even use other body parts to do morse code. Though it might be slow, it could work, especially if sped up a bit. And a bit of patience could go a long way. IDK, it would just be neat to see content where he and Anya find ways to communicate (even if a little slowly) and we see him interact with others post crash.

Especially seeing him talk to Anya and them keeping each other company etc. Not even in a shipping way, just in a "Curly didn't help Anya when she needed it most but she will still help Curly when he needs it most, and Curly realizes he was wrong but Anya chooses to forgive him" kind of way. It would also be neat to see him interact with the others like Swansea and Daisuke and J*MMY (derogatory), especially if it takes a little bit of Anya and Curly to develop a form of communication, so the others have the attitude they have in canon. But then Anya reveals Curly can talk now (albeit slowly), and each ends up visiting him at some point (Daisuke talking to him could be so much fun honestly).

It could have a pretty interesting effect on Curly's psychology and maybe even role in the story, as he wouldn’t be completely helpless like he appears to be in canon.

He is able to say things to others, like maybe provide certain information (important captain knowledge). He could convince Anya not to die (might not work, but could be interesting if he at least tries). He can have some interesting angst, like still trying to keep up a confident front and be the strong, reliable captain despite everything. However, he is also aware that he is in a difficult position right now and worries the others see him as weak and helpless or a burden of some kind (as they lowkey treat him in canon). He could tell J*mmy to fuck off. The possibilities are endless.

I just think there could be a lot of potential there and would feel less infantilizing/dehumanizing.

[legofemme]

I blocked ii neg confessions before they cld send me weird death threat spam asks targeted towards the ii crew so they will never see this but i just want to say generally that it is extremely pathetic that theyre trying to hop in and parasocially groupie themself into a content tag we use for our friend, that was in no way created to be an ii hating clique and i think that theyre a turbo loser who will never get any of us to fuck them no matter how hard they try and no matter how hard they grovel at our feet going "i think this cast of people who wrote a mediocre show should die painfully" because who even says that shit and expects us to clap and pat them on the ass. What a pinworm of a person

[journey-to-the-attic]

idk exactly how old ik is in the ddvd au but i had the thought: you know how most babies' first words are 'ma' or similar. mammon hears ik making the noise and he INSISTS that her first word must therefore have been HIS name, cementing his place as BEST uncle forever

then asmo's like "nonono, she could have been going asMO" and then a fistfight ensues

i think in my head, ik's nearly two when zhao first appears in the devildom, but she's at this weird developmental stage where she's simultaneously extremely dependent on her father, but also weirdly independent for certain aspects of her routine. she can walk, and will toddle off to do her own mysterious business for some periods of time, but most of the time she prefers to have her dad carry her around everywhere

she's also mostly non-verbal for the first few months - she mostly communicates by patting her dad's arm and then pointing at things - but she has spoken, so she's said "爸爸" (baba) before, but she only ever says it aloud in moments of extreme distress

but she would eventually start saying other words too, and it feels just as monumental as first words would to the demons, so i could totally see the mammon vs asmo debate happening then

but also, funny scenario: i imagine ik starts picking up words super fast once she DOES start speaking clearly, so while asmo and mammon are arguing over who she was addressing, satan sneaks over and gets her to say the clearest "uncle satan" they've ever heard

rip satan... it was all worth it though!

[autisticlio]

From someone who is autistic and has adhd, I don't mind people thinking the characters are either of those. Hell, I'd be a hypocrite considering I think any character I like is autistic. Just think it's kinda silly that the Death Battle team did not know what else to put for stats regarding a theoretical fight between them, so they went on Webmd and diagnosed them despite neither really mattering in context.

wellll everything could be worse.. at least we're not stranded in the arctic for years on end with lead poisoning and a Beast out to get us 😌
