Screaming, crying and OBSESSING over the way Anya and Demetrius are on opposite sides of the Neurodivergent scale and also far more similar to one another than either one realizes. More than any other character we've seen so far, it feels like these two are Yin and Yang, opposite sides of the same coin.

Demetrius easily absorbs facts, figures, and other information that follows a set pattern. But people confuse and frustrate him, and he deals with that by not dealing with it. Anya has the ability to understand more about strangers she passes on the street than people who see them regularly ever could, but traditional academics can overwhelm her so she is resistant to studying. And yet both of them are othered and seen as abnormal by everyone around them, building a wall between them and their peers that they both find difficult to overcome.

Anya tries to fit in through masking, pretending as hard as she can to be normal (with limited success) but Demetrius has given up after going so long without anyone helping him better understand others which leads to him disassociating in social situations as a self defense mechanism, to get in and out as quickly and painlessly as possible while telling himself it doesn't matter.

Except it does.

Demetrius didn't need to ask about Damian's stella. But he did. Because he wants to find some sort of common ground with his brother even as he reassures himself that it doesn't matter and he doesn't care. He doesn't pick up on the fact that this makes Damian feel self conscious, that he's comparing his one stella to Demetrius' six and worried their father will love him less for not being as successful. Demetrius doesn't understand how the subject switched to Donovan at all, and shuts down hard when their father is mentioned. Just like he did when Damian called and asked him to be a bridge between them way back when.

(Demetrius warning Damian not to get his hopes up about Donovan coming to meet him also conflicts with his internal dialog about how the people around him don't matter and he doesn't need to care about understanding them. If it actually doesn't matter to him, then he wouldn't care if Donovan blew Damian off.)

Circling back to the original thought though, I desperately hope that we're going to get Demetrius and Anya interacting directly with one another at some point in the future because I have a feeling that Anya's blunt, child-like nature will lead to her just directly telling Demetrius the things that are eluding him when he interacts with others, demystifying all the unspoken social cues he's supposed to yet cannot intuit for the first time in his life. And he is going to be in awe of this child for her ability to not only understand others, but translate for him when he cannot grasp whatever it is they are trying and failing to say to him.

Demetrius could appreciate Anya's abilities, rather than being afraid of or disturbed by them. And they could both understand the feeling of not fitting in with the crowd. Of knowing that others regard them with fear and contempt, or want to use the things that make them different for their own purposes and treat them like they are just a tool instead of a person. The potential is there for a very interesting platonic relationship between two kids who have spent their whole lives feeling like their differences alienated them from everyone else in their life, and in Anya's case a fear that the discovery of that difference would lead to her losing the love of everyone important to her in her life.

"Sun is smart" "Sun is dumb"

May I suggest: he's both. Think about like, someone with a PhD trying to microwave their tinfoil wrapped burrito after a long day in the lab. That's Sun to me.

The eternal hellish cycle of introducing the Lords in Black as Pokotho, Bliklotep, T’noy Karaxis, Nibblelinephim, and Wiggog Y’rath so my friends picture them as the eldritch beings they are, only for them to watch the show and see Pokey, Blinky, Tinky, Nibbly, and Wiggly in their crayon-themed high schooler-sonas.

i really like the lock picking in Skyrim because it's an actual skill that i, the player, have gotten good at.

like, i have never put a single perk point into the lockpicking tree, but i can pick any lock in the game in ten picks or less because i have a system that i developed into a practiced skill i use on all the locks.

That may sound like a useless or broken game dynamic, but it's one of my favorite things in the game actually -- the locks in Skyrim are built a certain way, and i, as a player, have developed the skill to pick them based on experience, practice, and the development of a process.

i actually wish more things in more RPGs were like that.

Eddie becomes obsessed with solving a rubix cube while Steve’s working a double.

Steve finally comes home to find Eddie shirtless on the couch, snacks littering the coffee table, hands spinning the rubix cube with reckless abandon. He’s so hyper focused he doesn’t even notice Steve walk in.

Steve goes about his nightly routine and leaves Eddie alone until it’s time for bed. He really wants to spend time with his boyfriend and destress but Eddie can’t be persuaded to put the damn rubix cube down. Not even when Steve waltzed into the living room in nothing but Eddie’s favorite pair of Garfield socks.

Frustrated, Steve snatches the rubix cube from his hands. Spins it a few times and solves it before Eddie has a chance to leap off the couch in protest.

“What the fuck?” Eddie shouts, catching the solved rubix cube when Steve tosses it to him. “How did you do that so fast?”

Steve shrugs. “I have to keep myself entertained when you guys play your nerd game somehow.”

“What would you say if I told you that was insanely hot?” Eddie asks, tossing the rubix cube aside before reaching out to wrap his arms around Steve’s bare center.

“I’d say you’re an even bigger nerd than I thought.”

Eddie hums, nuzzling his face in the crook of Steve’s neck. “What do you say we put those hands of yours to good use?”

Steve snorts and steps away from Eddie. He snatches the rubix cube from the floor and scrambles up his handiwork. “You gotta earn it first,” Steve says, tossing the cube back to Eddie with a smirk.

“That’s not fair!”

“Should have thought of that before you ignored me for that stupid thing!” Steve says before sauntering back into the bedroom. “I’ll be waiting, baby.”
