You are Autistic!

April Fools! But not really!

I love all of you. Thanks for following and thanks for all the kinds words.

[nintendont2502]

my fandom """"hot take"""" is that people on this site care way too fuckin much about their headcanons. why are you out here publically complaining about someone else's headcanon being "wrong" because it disagrees with yours. who the fuck cares

[peacockrulz]

Sorry for the lack of posts, have some more headcanons!!

This might be a bit random but would you say you have any thoughts on Neurodivergent readings of Zhongli (more specifically autistic)? I was thinking about it in the latest chapter of JG amd even before then too. as an autistic person myself i feel he reads very heavily as such, especially when talking about his human mask and feeling like he doesn't need to force it as much with childe, and his issues with human expression in smiling etc. but I think it's then an interesting debate between that and the fact that, well, he's just not human. that all comes from a place of being an entirely different species, unevolved and unrelated to human brains and how they think and read social patterns, and I feel we don't really have any way of telling if ZL has any divergent tendencies among dragons right? and even then he's half, too, so that affects things.

anyway sorry for the ramble I was mainly wondering if you had any opinions on the matter, or if you intended the parallels I definitely see while reading your Zhongli! love your work as always <3333

i think i might've commented on this at some point but never directly, so here – i do have thoughts on the matter!

as you mentioned, it's difficult to tell with characters that aren't human, because you can't call something 'neurodivergent' if the bases for their neurotypical-ity are not the ones by which we measure this stuff. so, to me, ALL non-human characters are neurodivergent-coded. they may not be neurodivergent, technically speaking (like how you mentioned, maybe all dragons are just like zl), but to us, they read as such. so, coded. ultimately i do think there is merit in labeling them as neurodivergent because, even if they, again, technically aren't; we are going to run into problems if we attempt to treat them as neurotypical, so we might as well say yeah, neurodivergent. it is also kinda correct anyway – they do diverge from us. that's a fact. it's like saying dogs are colorblind. if all dogs see in the same range, then you can't say your dog in specific is colorblind (unless it actually is but that's beside the point); but compared to us, from our perspective, for what it matters to us and how that will translate into how we treat them then yes! dogs are colorblind! i think i mentioned it once in conjunction with characters like alhaitham. to me, zhongli is neurodivergent-coded, while alhaitham is neurodivergent straight-up. because (as far as we know) he's human, so his brain should, in theory, be like ours.

as for which flavor of neurodivergency zl is coded to have in specific i would agree with you on autism! but then again, i'm not an expert on these things, i don't know the exact ins and outs and the specific characteristics that constitute an autistic character – i just write them the way i perceive them, with the quirks i perceive them to have. not to get preachy but i think that's the better way to write characters in general, since that's how real people work, after all. people with autism aren't born fitting some parameters that will make them autistic – they're born with specific quirks that we then interpret as autism, and even then you don't necessarily get two people having the exact same experience with this. most of these terms are umbrella terms regardless as to how well-defined or how big or small the umbrella is.

so yeah!

transfem loop + siffrin... you agree

i does agree.... i does in fact ... write a 7k word essay on the subject..... if you would like to perhaps click that link and read it if you were not already aware...... kisses u on the forehead......... sorry its that long but i had to cover all of my bases you know how it is with textual analysis when you're trying to draw a distinction between "headcanon" and "reading of the text" because those are different things.... to meeeeeeee.......

This is probably just full programmer projection but how pissed do you think Turbo was when fifth gen games started rolling into the arcade? Guy takes all this time to learn code and learn the different assembly languages like z80 and 6502 and maybe even m68k and he's probably reaching a point where he thinks he has it all figured out.

And then around the mid-ish 90s games along the same vein as Sugar Rush start coming out.

And now not only are they running on an assembly language Turbo had probably not seen before (MIPS), but they're also being programmed mostly in C, a completely different language that he will be learning for the first time without the help of any book or reference cards.

And so now he's almost worse off, because not only does he have to juggle figuring out which MIPS opcodes are the same and which opcodes are different from the previous assembly languages he learned (and handling 32 bit architecture) but now he's also gotta learn what inline embedding is and how to do it in a language he is only now encountering.

Oh to be a fly on the wall (or bug in the code lmao) when he was dealing with that.

CL hc about Aelita I thought up of while working on my most recent fic (which you can read here should you be so inclined):

S2!Aelita is very squeamish about the sight of blood and/or injuries in general. It's just not something she had to deal with on Lyoko. If she took a huge fall there or something, sure she'd lose some life points, which is dangerous specifically for her, but all it takes to fix that is to just pop into a tower and wait for them to regenerate. It's not like she'd break her leg. Lasers sort of sting for a moment, but there's nothing permanently damaging about them either

So the fact that in the real world, there are actual physical marks that can get left when you get hurt, it kinda freaks her out. She wasn't unaware of that when she materialized, but reading about it or talking about it with the others is a very different animal than seeing or experiencing it for herself

Basically she just doesn't like the reminder that physical bodies are so much more fragile than virtual ones

How do you think Bulma and Vegeta got together like as a real couple. The 7 year gap tells us nothing

That's pretty par the course for Dragon Ball, the original series always skipped to when Goku was around again (which makes sense, he's the main character). It's an action/adventure series, so peace time isn't usually explored for long, especially without the leading man around.

That said, I assume by "real couple" you mean like, having an agreed upon level of commitment, and I might be repeating myself a bit (I have an hc about how their literal agreed upon moment went but I still think they had more figuring out to do from there), but in my opinion/hc, I don't think there was really any big Aha! moment for them during the 7 year gap. I'm of the opinion that most of the Surprising Emotions happened during the 3 year gap, and the reality of those emotions solidified very quickly when Cell's threat to the planet became very real.

I personally like to think the 7 Year Gap was a lot of the day-by-day figuring things out on a more practical level. Okay, we're parents. What does that mean to you? Okay, we want to stay close to each other. What does that look like to you? Okay, we're attracted to each other. How does that factor in to the kind of life you want? That kind of thing.

I think it's very often easy to overlook that the 7 Year Gap isn't just Vegeta getting used to being with Bulma, it's Vegeta getting used to living on Earth in general.

He's had the excuse of the androids and Goku to throw himself into solitude and training, but now he has neither and he decided to stop fighting (for however long that lasted). That means he had to start learning about Earth's actual social structures and its culture and its rules and its expectations for him as a father and a citizen of this planet he (told himself he) had no plans to stay on.

At the same time, Bulma's almost certainly still figuring out what Motherhood means to her. She doesn't like how her own mother does it, she doesn't exactly subscribe to Chi-Chi's school of thought, all of her friends are orphans, Vegeta's culture is insane -- she never planned on having kids, she doesn't have anywhere to go to learn how to be A Mom(tm), and all the money in the world can't buy her maternal instincts (like the ones that might have told her it wasn't safe to fly her baby into an active battlefield, for instance).

Bulma also doesn't have a great resource for what it means to be a good partner to someone (because, again, her parents piss her off, and her only other relationship never really outgrew the Teenaged Insecurity it was founded on). And Vegeta definitely doesn't know what partnership looks like off the battlefield.

So I personally think the majority of the 7 Year Gap is just two very uncertain but pragmatic people really only knowing three things: They make a good team, they like each other's company, and their best bet is to stick together.

Everything beyond that is day by day and inch by inch. There's a lot of translating to figure out, there's a lot of boundaries to learn, as much as they trusted each other before there's still a lot of trust to be earned between them. I think it got easier the older Trunks got and the more they figured out their strengths and weaknesses as co-parents. Maybe the more time they spent around other couples helped (I like to think both of them shake hands about not understanding her parents' relationship at all). I like to think the more they just hung out together and worked together and watched tv together and just?? Participated in life and society together helped them bridge the gaps in communication and expectations for each other. Helped them get a little more comfortable as a capital "C" Couple every day.

One weekend Bulma didn't have a date to go one. One week Vegeta slept in her room a few nights in a row. Little changes and shifts and adjustments that just kept adding up until it felt like it had been this way the whole time.

As connected and dedicated as they were, and as much as they loved each other and their family by the Buu Saga (literally so happy and comfortable with his life on Earth that it gave him a mental breakdown), I really enjoy that Daima gave us a little more of the 'These two are loving and trusting and comfortable but they still have problems' bits -- because I personally don't hc they squashed all of the insecurities and doubts and gaps in their relationship until after the Goku Black arc (manga edition).

I think a lot of the things Vegeta was scared of in regard to his place in his family were healed for him in that arc, and I think all of the things Bulma was scared of were also healed by the end of that arc, and I hc that's why they decided to expand their family after that arc. ;w;

So tldr, I personally like to think the 7 year gap was more collecting and stacking building blocks than big romantic revelations.

FINALLY got around to updating romeo’s design for Reverie of Rebirth! had to do so in my sketchbook though- just note all the colors are still the same, i just changed up some parts of the design ^^

he’s my weird little freak, i love and hate him to the moon and back. he sucks soooo bad

design change notes and extra little doodles beneath the cut!

so i simultaneously feel like i changed so much and nothing at all. here’s what i did:

pants no longer have the tattoo design printed on them (LOVED that detail but i felt it didn’t work too well with the lore they have now)

pendant is now a full screw

more belt! added a second “hanging” one on his waist

made it clear that romeo. does not like shoes. majority of the time he is barefoot. he just wears basic black platform boots if he’s going out

MOBILITY AID USER! uses a cane :3 same color as the body of his hoodie- delilah decorated it with some custom stickers of his and her arrows, a heart, a sheep, and a black cat. if you wanna add more in any drawings go ahead ^^

his hair is longer than it is in the events of the game. fully down, it goes to his mid-upper back. he theoretically Could tie it up, but i don’t think he would

wears a black turtleneck shirt beneath his hoodie! i honestly haven’t decided if it’s sleeveless or short sleeve or long sleeve or what so! you get to decide!

the weird tattoo on his neck is from the spell that gave him his limiter halo 👍 just wanted to clarify that

he’s so fun to draw 🥹 here’s some extra little doodles from workshopping shit!

[stephofromcabin12]

Busy with comms and stuff BUT if you’re starved for cabin 12 vibes: Go ahead and look up Brooke & Connor Make a Podcast on tiktok for me now, and just watch their podcast clips — literally what I imagine overhearing cabin 12’s dinner conversations to be like lmao

[loser-jpg]

me when i see some rando on tiktok say that vil is transfem coded and if you dont refer to him as transfem you're transphobic/misogynistic (im killing myself immediately)

[yuurikatsukienthusiast]

This is a bit off topic in comparison to my other content, but I feel the need to address it.

Lets talk about queer coding, headcanons, the difference between the two, and why they cannot be used in a synonymous manner.

I'll try and make this speedy.

Queer coding - Implying a character's sexual orientation or gender identity through subtext, without ever overtly addressing it within the source.

Headcanon - A fan made interpretation of the details of a character (such as their actions, appearance, identity, etc) that is not canon/strays from the canon media.

As shown in the above definitions, these two things are very different.

So when bringing sexuality into the conversation of fictional media and characters, be careful as to not mix these terms up!

Headcanoning a certain character as queer is not the same as said character being queer coded. Queer coding implies that the creators of the source intended for their characters to be interpreted as queer.

If there is reason to believe that certain characters are queer coded, great! But don't misuse the term if it is not applicable.

Wanting a character to be queer coded doesn't mean they are. You can headcanon a character as whatever sexuality or gender you want them to be. Have fun with it! But don't say your favorite character is queer coded when they're not. If there is no subtext present to imply the queerness of the character, saying they're queer is just a headcanon, and it is a completely separate thing.

here are some of my KaiMax HC's

How i see them getting together

Kai is oblivious to Max’s affection, he thinks it's just Max being Max when the blonde starts clinging to him and touching him. He does think its weird that Max has all of a sudden started touching him so freely. He brushes it off Max isn't scared of him anymore or intimidated by him

Max grows increasingly frustrated by how dense Kai is. And works to find more obvious ways (without straight out saying it) that he has a crush on Kai. Showering a confused Kai in praise ("Oh Kai, you’re so handsome with huge muscles" because he opened a jar) [insert Rei and Hiromi rolling their eyes] and affection (practically sitting in Kai’s lap while they're all on the couch watching a movie. 

(watching their little game is a serious form of entertainment for everyone else. they make bets on it)

Max confiding in Rei, that Kai is actually kind of dumb and he doesnt understand why Kai cant see Max's crush. (And rei being like 'why dont you just tell him outright?' "BECAUSE THATS EMBARASSING")

and THEN Kai confiding in Rei about Max’s odd behavior and them laughing/giggling at him.

Okay so. Kai finally FINALLY puts two and two together when one night it’s just the two of them, everyone else has disappeared at the dojo. Sitting together. Alone. Max says somethings that go over Kai’s head. And Max has had enough and grabs Kai’s cheeks in his hands. His thumb smudging Kai’s painted cheek.Telling him to push him away if he’s not okay with it. And kissu kissu.

When they get together, Kai has to get used to how touchy Max is. He’s not used to it at all. He’s not used to gentle touches or the way Max will smoosh their cheeks together and affectionately rub them up and down. It makes Kai go red and a little embarrassed to be so loved on so openly in front of the others. (He does get used to it.)

They show affection in different ways. Kai’s is more muted, while Max’s is obnoxious and obvious. In your face affection. PDA expert. The first time Kai initiates them holding hands it shocks Max. 

Headcanons

A moon/sun ship

Grump Edgy/sunshine energetic

The grumpy one is soft for the sunshine one

Max is the possessive one

Kai knows that Max is touchy but Kai is the only one who has his heart. It doesn't bother him (initially it did) when Max clings to Rei and Takao. Doesn’t mind when Max cuddles up with Rei on the couch. (Also because as soon as Kai sits down, Max find his way into Kai’s lap)

Max on the other hand? Is kind of insecure (DONT KNOW WHAT FOR). He hates the way people will look at Kai with hungry eyes. He hates that people don;t take him seriously, and continue to flirt with (an oblivious, uninterested) Kai.

Also the idea of Max’s eye twitching over Kai’s obsession with Takao. Is so… funny.

IMO it stems back to Judy, so now that Max has someone who clearly loves him and gives him his attention, he refuses to let go or let anyone take that from him. 

Kai doesn’t think that Max is possessive/jealous and that its him showing affection. 

Idk it’s funny to me if the ONLY ONE that makes Kai a little nervous (read: jealous) is Rick. Like that’s the only person Kai does not like Max getting cozy with. Something about it makes Kai itch. 

Max is always able to get Kai to do things he would NEVER do otherwise. (I picture them wearing matching animal costumes with fluffy hats with ears. Max getting Kai to eat really cute. 

Max pouting is Kai’s biggest weakness. (He cannot say no to Max, in general, but the pouting? Seals the deal. Kai is so weak to it. Max makes him so soft)

[atlas-and-aus]

I would like to apologize to anyone who reads so much as a headcanon list of mine that features Dust because I egregiously love this funny phenomenon called projecting onto him

Yes he is autistic and dissociates and hates loud noises and weird textures and likes to play cozy games and literally never changes unless he has to(he has 50 pairs of the same clothes anyway) and likes to read and knows random facts about human psychology and physiology that no one would need to know

I love projection chat
