AuDHD is so funny sometimes like what do you mean my hyperfixations/special interests will last for years on end or possibly forever but they will cycle out every month or two with absolutely no transitional period or warning. like i will think about the same topic every day obsessively for 46 days in a row and on the 47th day with no visible cause adhd brain goes "ok! bored of that now" and autism brain goes "dw i got something queued up for ya" and i blast into full blown obsession on some other topic whose mental file folders haven't opened in 9 months. brain's out here treating hyperfixations like a crop rotation. once the dopamine runs out it cycles in another one but once something's in the rotation it never ever leaves. last summer we brought in one from when i was 11. it's so funny to me but frustrating too bc like. i cannot stress enough my inability to predict or control this. or how completely abrupt and random it can be

EDIT: seems this is more common among ND people than i thought, and probably not limited to AuDHD specifically :] i was just describing my own experiences and didn't expect this post to blow up, so don't take me for an authority, but i'm glad it resonated with so many of y'all

correct me if i’m wrong cos i don’t watch dune.. but i’ve seen people call paul a tragic character. except isn’t he a whole white coloniser tricking indigenous poc into believing he’s a prophet to serve his own interests? that’s inherently evil that cannot be a tragic character imo

so yes that is correct that is what happens. the tragedy is that he is a sixteen year old boy who gets a vision of this happening and he is TERRIFIED and absolutely does not want this to happen at all. He does not want the holy war he does not want to be the chosen one he initially very much wants to fight alongside the fremen as equals trying to liberate themselves from their current colonizer without becoming the messiah because they have common political cause.

And then the entire second half of the first book (and the second movie) are about the concessions he makes to himself bit by bit by bit (well it’s the only way to save his mom and sister. well it’s the only way to prevent nuclear war. well he does want his revenge. well maybe he IS special.) Until by the end he has lost 100% of his humanity, fully wants to be the messiah and is willing to manipulate people into thinking so, and has declared himself duke of arrakis in his father’s name and made a play for the imperial throne.

you’re right that it’s evil. the book and these movies agree with you. the tragedy is watching a child who desperately wanted to avoid this slowly completely lose himself to it anyways. i don’t think “tragic” and “evil” are inherently mutually exclusive.

You know, I have a hard time believing Ford liked Fidds that much when they first met.

This started off as: haha Stanford "Grammer, Stanley" Pines would have had an aneurysm meeting Fiddleford and then it spiraled out of control.

The last ones based off that one daredevil comic btw. (I saw it and I thought of them)

father strange!!!

Happy for the baby scene kids. It no longer feels so significant to have kept mine since 2010. but alas. happy for the baby scene kids.

Rin and her absolutely platonic love for her best friend

Take 1:

Yes, she likes his face all worked up and flushed. What's wrong with that.

Take 2:

(Why this art look like a mem "-we consent –I don't")

She could have said "you should smile more, babygirl" aka the worst pick up line ever and the scene wouldn't change at all.

Take 3:

She would call him a "good boy" and it's absolutely no one business.

... Take 3:

the mattfoggy dynamic is so fun. like foggy takes care of matt, and is so diehard protective of him it’s honestly a little painful to watch, not bc he thinks matt needs him to but bc he thinks matt deserves to be taken care of and protected. honestly I think the reason he feels so protective of matt has a million times more to do with matt’s glaringly obvious misery than it ever had to do with the blindness, which is part of why you see it continue in absolute full force after the reveal. but at the same time matt absolutely thinks that it has something to do with foggy thinking he needs to be taken care of, and so kinda hates himself and foggy for the fact that he not only loves it but actively allows it to happen. like the way foggy takes care of matt soothes his abandonment issues so thoroughly that the catholic guilt kicks in, and so matt keeps secrets and lies to him both so foggy will keep doing it and to try and create distance so matt doesn’t have to feel guilty about how well foggy takes care of him.

on the flipside matt is ALSO viciously protective of foggy but more in like the way of an abused dog and their new owner who’s rehabilitating them??? and like he just Knows foggy, toe to tip, and accepts him and loves him and believes in him in a way that foggy clearly relies on. for foggy, matt is in many ways this imperfectly perfect ideal; so righteous it inspires foggy, bc if someone like this can believe in foggy he must be capable of living up to it, but also human enough for it to be ok if he fucks up or falls short. human enough to love. and this all is what makes the lies so uniquely devastating, and why they keep coming back to each other anyways. foggy has bared his soul to matt, and it turns out matt won’t do the same for him. foggy takes care of matt, and matt has not only taken advantage of this but also prevented foggy from doing so when he needed it. and in a moment where matt needs him, foggy leaves. but there’s no world where they don’t forgive each other, bc nobody else will be able to give them what they get from each other, and they wouldn’t want to give the things they give to each other to anyone else!! they’re stuck together for LIFE baby.

warhammer dudes will treat the female characters in the nastiest way. Degrade Celestine's and Yvraine's characters to nothing but waifu bait. Talk about what they'd like to do to sororitas with consent optional. Gleefully describe what a daemonculaba is and act like its so cool and edgy. But the minute female fans and queers start to talk about finding a male character attractive NAW that's where they draw the line. How dare we find Titus handsome. Filthy perverts degenerates all of us. Its apparently too much for them and they get really, really mad about it. Stay pissy you gross ass weirdos, your hypocrisy stinks through the walls
