Chapter 11: (Surprise) Birthday

Written Portion

“Stop yelling, dumbass.” At which Atsumu starts yelling louder, his voice coming out a bit more squeaky this time.

God, you groan. He can be so annoying sometimes and you’ve met him only thrice. “Atsumu. No cake for you.” You say, your hands coming to soothe your brows.

“Huh! You can’t make that decision.” he practically whines, no less akin to a dog. 

He pouts but eventually mellows down a bit and you can’t help but think he’s taking your loose threat seriously. But you watch as he got still a bit too suddenly. You watch as he stares behind you, across your shoulders. 

You turn around, and see Suna already standing there. His hands are crossed as he lightly leans against the frame of the door. You frown.

Suna who was donning a smirk now mirrors your frown. He ignores the greetings and the wishes, as his hand comes to gently loop around your elbow, as he quickly whoosh-es you into the balcony.

“What’s wrong?” You hear him, but his words come out a bit muted against the loudness of the chatter coming from the living room. And just on cue, you hear Atsumu hollering something about a penguin?

Suna’s brows cinch hard when he doesn’t get a response. He takes a step forward, stepping into your space just a little, but he’s clearer now when he speaks, "Are you okay?"

Your hand reaches out to slowly run your finger down his brow — a habit you’ve picked up just recently. It’s a new one, but sometimes it’s natural, and it almost feels like routine.

Your frown deepens.

"Yeah, 'm okay Rin. It's just—" You pause, and you notice how he's been gradually leaning more and more towards you to make it easier for you to run your finger across his brows. It lets you allow a soft smile to take its seat on your face.

He hums, nudging — imploring you to continue. 

"We were supposed to hide and surprise you and stuff,” you tell him but truth be told, you don't really feel too bad about it. You're just happy you managed to put this together really. It was hell trying to get his friends together, all of whom happen to be scattered all over the world. But somehow, they made time, and they made things easy even if you did all the leg work.

"I can go back and we do it over again,” he says, frowning. He sounds painfully genuine. "I didn't know you planned all that for me."

"Did you... like it?" 

"I like it a lot. Promise," he says as he trails off looking into the living room where the chatter has dialed down. Instead, muted unfamiliar voices come from within to meet your ears, they must be on the TV. "What I don't like is how I can't send them home, so we can you know..."

You fake a frown, "They all came from different states and countries for you."

"Ah?" He chuckles, and you tilt your head in confusion. “Don't let them fool you. They've all been here for almost a week now because of practice camp.”

You raise your brows in understanding, as you nod. "That makes a lot more sense now."

His hands come to take yours into his own hand, it engulfs you and his rings sit cold against your palm but you feel warm as you stand here on this chilly balcony.  

"Besides," he says. "As I said, I'd much rather celebrate with just your next time."

"Just me?"

"Just you."

"Next time?"

He doesn’t say anything, and you think maybe it was a slip of the tongue. Maybe it was the common way of saying these things. People say things all the time. 

"Yeah, next time." He says. "If you want to that is."

You hesitate, a long list of questions and doubts running like a quick PowerPoint presentation in your head. But then, you feel the rough smoothness of his thumb caressing your palm, and you think maybe it's okay to let yourself dream. Even if it's just for a bit, or longer.

"Okay."

"Okay?" He asks, his eyes peering into you as he inches closer. He looks unsure but maintains steadfastness. He wants more.

"Yeah." You softly smirk, as you look away. "I'll be your girlfriend, Suna Rintaro."

"Woah woah,” He says as he backs away from you. "Girlfriend? I was just talking about birthday celebrations. Now, come o—"

"Shut up, you dick." You smile harder as your hands come up to tug him closer.

His hands come up to cup your face, and it sits warm against your cheek this time. You tug once again against his collar, imploring him to hurry but you feel a soft resistance from him like you could pull him and he'd crash into you. And so, you do.

[autisticgirliesbracket]

What makes Asa Mitaka from Chainsaw Man the autistic girlie ever of all time? Here's what the people have to say:

Asa-related asks/reblogs: x This post will be updated after each round!

Image ID in alt text and under the readmore.

[Image ID. White slide with a manga panel of Asa in the top right corner, she has been edited to be wearing a blue cap with the words "Please be patient I have autism" printed on the front. She is surrounded by text boxes which read,

"Goes to the aquarium with a guy and infodumps about sea anemonies."

"I kin her unironically. Unbelievable social awkward. Goes to an aquarium date where she spends the entire time explaining facts about the Animals fully in an attempt to impress her date. She must be avenged from the ADHD vs Autism bracket. Is isolated from her peers. Chronically lonely but won't open up to anyone(not sure if that's an Autism thing or just a personal problem probably a combination of both) Have you read the Manga?"

"has a VERY hard time with social interaction"

"She is absolutely baffled by everything + doesn't get most things at first"

"there's an extended scene where she flirts with a boy by lecturing him about sea anemone life cycles, breeding patterns, and other extended trivia. the whole time she is thinking to herself "he must be falling in love with me right about now. this is an irresistible date." "

"Literally infodumps to the boy shes on a date with for like 3 straight pages and then goes "i'm so alluring. he definetely wants me now" "

"from the scene that was all over tumblr where she infodumps about starfish on an aquarium date and considers this her Ultimate Seduction Technique. a guy on reddit literally got diagnosed because he could relate to her. it's awesome"

"Tried to impress a guy on a date by monologuing starfish facts about him, was genuinely astonished that that didn't drive him wild with desire. Also she's sharing her body with a horsewoman of the apocalypse but that's unrelated."

"If her long-winded rant about sea creatures as an attempt to seduce someone wasn't enough, then a lot of her trauma is based around being ostracized for being weird and quiet. She doesn't understand people but wants companionship anyways, even if shes also afraid of it."

"She feels disconnected to her peers. She literally infodumps while on a date for thirty minutes about starfish. She doesn't see this as a social faux pas, but rather something any sane person would do. (Basically, doesn't realize this is abnormal.) She misses social cues frequently. She feels below average empathy, I'd say. Asa also said she wanted to die after embarrassing herself in public. That doesn't mean she's autistic or anything, but I'm autistic and I do it a lot. Also, I'm autistic and I relate to her, so she kind of has a peer reviewed diagnosis by me lol."

"Socially awkward and prone to info dumping."

"shes cringe fail and has no idea what shes doing ever i love her so much (shes just like me fr"

"I’m sure you’ve seen her failgirl cringe aquarium infordump that she’s sure will charm any boy (note: fails to charm the world’s loosest teenage boy.) She sucks at a lot of social stuff but also doesn’t get why and just thinks she’s wrong or cursed or smth. Likes animals over people. Doesn’t have a single friend until another loner who happens to be more extroverted basically adopts her as her friend."

"1) thought lecturing her date about sea creatures for like 30 minutes each would impress him and make him like her and was confused when he wasn’t into it (I would be into it tho it’s ok bby he just has adhd). 2) had the date planned out to the MINUTE and told the poor guy to shut up when he wanted to do something different. Literally a formula for how to have fun and she thought it was foolproof. 3) encyclopedic knowledge of sea creatures either points to a special interest and/or she just decided to research all that shit the night before for the date (she did say she went to the library in preparation), either way. tism I love her I’m rotating her in my brain" End ID.]

[genderfluid-insomniac]

Hiii! I followed for your LMK writings (which I love btw <3) and seeing Eden's Zero also in your media list had me so happy!

I was wondering if I could request some general head canons for dating Shiki Granbell, please? I've been dying for more content for our boy!

Hi! I'm so happy you like my LMK stuff! Shiki is the best boi and a golden retriever of a boyfriend! You didn't specify if you wanted any gender so I made it gender neutral to be safe. I hope you like it!

General head canons for dating Shiki Granbell

Dating Shiki is something…..There are a lot of crazy moments for you both but know that nothing will make you two break up because he might not understand social cues he’s great at communicating with you when miscommunications happen. Any issues you have and bring up to your boyfriend he’ll sit you both down or take a walk and talk it out until you both come to a compromise. Expect him to cuddle you or want a kiss after.

Whenever you’re both in public he has no shame with PDA around you and will attempt to show off that he has an amazing significant other that he loves so much. Handholding, cheek kisses, kisses, carrying you bridal style if something happens to you, you name it and he’ll do it. Shiki is very adorable when he’s affectionate and is akin to a golden retriever which he really likes when he asks what animal that is, cooing over countless videos out them. This man can fall asleep anywhere and I mean anywhere so sometimes you’ll by sleeping in the grass, in a hallway, a street corner, a restaurant, etc. He does have a minor problem of activating his gravity ether gear during his sleep because of his dreams and there have been many times where you’ve woken up on the ceiling or wall with your boyfriend still cuddled up to you.

Protective. We all know that he’s very protective of his friends and does not waste time when they’re in danger or have gotten kidnapped/separated. However if they take you or you’re in danger he will struggle to not go out of control and destroy anything in his path. He got the perfect lover and person he adores the most who loves him just as much there is no way he’s letting that go.

This man can eat and eat and eat. If you go out then the bill will be very expensive but often you and shiki share whatever you like because he just likes all food (and on occasion feeding you with his fork). On the Eden’s Zero there will never be an issue because of the obvious amount of supplies and technology it has but it’s hard to ignore the three shining stars cooing and smiling warmly about how cute you and shiki are as a couple.

[sammybirdseed]

I was just watching this video and at one point this guy brought up one of his pet-peeves is when people can’t really read the room or if they’re too loud or something. It just got me thinking cause obviously I struggle with social cues and stuff because of my ADHD and I’ve always been kind of loud too. It’s one of my biggest insecurities and one of the reasons I’ve had—and still have—such a hard time making friends. It doesn’t help that my brother’s girlfriend said just yesterday that I’m annoying and I talk too much and that my jokes aren’t funny. I guess it just got me feeling kind of sad because the guy in the video didn’t seem ableist or like a mean person or anything. In fact, he seemed like the type of person I would usually gravitate toward and hang out with, which is what got me thinking cause what if people that I hang out with or am friends with feel the same and I just can’t tell because I can’t read the room like that? It’s happened before in the past. Luckily, I have better friends now who are also neurodivergent and understand me better but I just hope this isn’t something that will be a lifelong issue for me when trying to make friends because it just feels like one big guessing game where I’m constantly wondering if all my friends secretly hate me.

Also in the same video, people in the comments were complaining and ragging on the same guy because I guess he was being too touchy and the girl he was with seemed like she was getting uncomfortable? This also worried me because I didn’t pick up on this. To me, she just seemed like sort of a closed off person, and I didn’t really register anything he was doing as violating some sort of consent boundary. He was just occasionally lightly and briefly tapping her elbow or her knee when speaking, which I just took as kind of an extension of him talking with his hands sort of. But anyway, my point is that people were being really mean to him in the comments and saying stuff like “she was obviously so uncomfortable like just look at her body language” or “I’m glad the producer stepped in cause she was obviously so uncomfortable” and “this is why consent matters” and stuff, which kind of made me sad as well because I’ve always been kind of a touchy person. It’s one of my love languages and it’s my way of communicating with people and showing comfort and affection. I ask my roommate all the time cause she’s the opposite and doesn’t really like touch, and she says I’ve never made her uncomfortable and that I’m really good with her personal boundaries, but this video just kind of concerned me cause—from what I could tell—he wasn’t doing anything? But the biggest issue for me was, like I said, that I also didn’t register her as being uncomfortable. It just worries me because, since going to college, I’ve had to deal with some people who have totally misjudged my character and twisted my words or actions into the total opposite of anything I would ever do or say. It really hurt me because I really pride myself on my open-mindedness and respect for others and they were trying to paint me as someone who I’m just not. Anyway, that’s not the point, but it just made me sad that these people were being mean to this guy and vilifying him when—from what I could tell—he hadn’t done anything wrong.

I don’t know, these two things just made me feel really sad so I wanted to get it off my chest. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.

I'm glad that New Moon is trying to talk about things with Sun. Even though he still has issues with understanding some non-verbal cues (New Moon really should conclude that there is something wrong with Sun because he seems on edge and is overworking himself) cause he ain't a social guy. But he really tries his best which shows how much he cares about Sun. And I love New Moon for that!

I hope that Moon's fans especially fans of Old Moon won't hate me for what I'm going to say but I think that someone need to say this. Even though Old Moon cared about Sun, he sucked at showing it. He didn't even try to talk with Sun about even the most important issues. Even though he was often mentioning that he'll talk with Sun about this or that. And yet he never talked with Sun about anything. Maybe occasionally, one or two times. Old Moon just almost completely stopped talking with Sun about important stuff especially after Sun expelled Eclipse from his own head.

Many people say that there is a lack of communication between brothers but I blame Old Moon for that more because he really didn't put much effort into that. And we can see that some things are hard for New Moon as well. And yet New Moon tries. Which really shows us that Old Moon wasn't trying that much. Sorry not sorry. Old Moon was coming up with excuses most of the time cause we know that he can talk about various issues because he organised an f-ing group therapy! So yeah...

On the other hand we shouldn't be surprised that Sun wasn't opening up to Old Moon about some of the things because Old Moon was repeatedly discouraging him from doing so, unintentionally but still. And after all the things Sun went through it's even harder for him to open up. So even if New Moon tries, Sun won't open up on his own. Unless New Moon would connect the dots which I don't blame him for not doing so cause like I said he ain't a social guy. It's harder for him to see some things.

And I know that it would be the best if Sun said something about his su*c*dal thoughts but please don't expect that Sun will do it. Because not everyone shares thoughts like that with others. Some people are hiding these type of thoughts from others mainly due to shame and guilt they feel for having su*c*dal thoughts.

And we shouldn't be surprised that Sun didn't say anything about having hallucinations either because it's very common thing that people who have hallucinations don't talk about it. Mainly due to shame and guilt they feel because they don't want to be a burden to others.

Sun needs someone who will be able to see the signs, who will realise that there is something wrong with Sun and that he needs immediate help. The only person who might know something about Sun's issues is... Moon's computer, unfortunately... If they heard what Sun was talking about to himself of course.

I hope that Moon's computer won't make things worse for Sun and won't push him over the edge. I hope that they will help Sun. And I would really hate that if that one AI who stayed with Sun would bully him or was extremely mean to him. And remember that this AI is the one who Eclipse pretended to be that one time (yeah, I still didn't forget about that) (I know that was probably because Davis is voicing both characters but you know what I mean).

I'm just genuinly worried about Sun. I can't shake that awful feeling that something horrible will happen... And I'm not saying that Sun will try to take his own life, no. I'm trying to say that whatever will happen it'll definitely worsen Sun's mental state some more.

[iamthecomet]

I can say I'm not the type to send hate. However sometimes I get mean or sarcastic and people miss the joke. I've been blocked for shipping the characters that I ship and writing the tropes that I do. Which is just annoying because the very same people who block me are the ones talking about my stuff behind my back 😅🤣

Being on the internet is really hard sometimes. What I try to tell myself when I realize someone has blocked me, is that, they are allowed to curate their own internet experience. Not everyone is going to like what I do, or what I say, or how I write what i write. That's ok. I cannot make everyone happy. I shouldn't try. I get to be me, they get to be them, if we can't meet in the middle then that's ok. We don't have to. It takes all kinds to make the world work. What ISN'T cool is blocking someone and then bitching about them where they could still potentially see it. The internet really is like high school sometimes and I'm sorry that people are talking about your work like that behind your back in a way that means you know it's happening. I can't tell you that people shouldn't talk about you--people are people man and that's what they do. Should they be more discreet about it? yes. Should they try not be total assholes? Absolutely. People forget sometimes that even people who make things we don't like are still people. I absolutely get you about the mean/sarcasm bit too. I'm from the North Eastern USA, which is a place where people are known for being sort of cold, and unwelcoming, and sarcastic. It isn't just a stereotype (at least not in my irl community). So, online, I have to work really hard to remember tone tags, or to only talk in that sort of obnoxious, sarcasm, sort-of-mean way to people who know me well enough to know I don't mean it negatively. But that means that when I started talking to people on the internet I agonized about EVERYTHING I said, because I didn't want to accidentally make a joke that didn't land. It's hard to read tone on the internet, and not everyone is equipped with the same social skills or understands the same cues. It feels awful to be misunderstood--and to accidentally hurt someone when you were absolutely not intentionally doing it. And, on the other hand, it doesn't feel great to feel like you're masking who you are to be accepted. There's a middle ground...it took me a long time to find it. We have to meet people where they are, where ever it is. And be good to each other. Like, yes it's fine to block someone if they create content that you are upset by, but there's a respectful way to do that (which involves not being mean about it, especially where the person might see it). Ship and Let Ship. Kink and Let Kink. Don't like; Don't read. You know, all those things. I'm sorry that it's been hard for you, just know I get it. But also, working on not dwelling on what other people like or dislike about you will make your life (on the internet and in real life) so much less stressful. It's hard, and some days it's impossible, but holy fuck is it worth it.

[vizthedatum]

Honestly yeah - it has really hurt as an autistic person when someone didn’t tell me that I was talking too much for their capacity and it was really hard for them to keep up with. Especially someone who was close to me and knew how much I valued honesty and directness. Especially another person who can completely understand how not being told something like that would affect an autistic person who has trouble with social cues.

It happened last year with someone who I cut off friendship with last summer. They only told me when I was trying to tell them how much their actions have hurt me or made me not trust them. (There were many reasons for the breakup tbh)

It was so hurtful to bring that up (and not before) when I was trying to tell them how I felt about other stuff. :/

[considerablecolors]

thinking about how once curt starts treating barb a bit better and they become closer and are just peak adhd/autism solidarity so here's some Thoughts on neurodivergent spies (also ignore that half of these terms didn't exist back then it's fine shhh):

barb swaying on her feet and twirling her hair infodumping about technology and curt gets all excited and starts stamping his feet and talking about spy history

sometimes they'll have sessions where one of them just infodumps for a long-ass time while the other listens but sometimes their interests connect and they just. lose it. like curt is talking about ways to make learning languages easier and barb's like what if there was a device to automatically translate things for you and curt goes HOLY SHIT.

curt will pull barb aside sometimes and be like "does cynthia hate me or is it just the rsd" and barb's like "i thought you were into me for years do you think i understand social cues any better than you do???"

"hey curt i was talking with tatiana and telling her about this thing i do but she said most people don't do that. is this a Symptom?" "nah i do that all the time!" "oh god it IS a Symptom then."

barb. inventing. new stim toys. and curt gets to test them out first!!!

going out to dinner and barb being like "oh uhhhh-" because there's nothing there she can eat because Texture y'know but curt Gets It and just immediately is like "hey can we go somewhere else i don't really wanna eat here" so she doesn't have to say anything

curt gets injured all the time obviously and always hates certain bandages because Sticky Scratchy Texture y'know and barb just casually one day is like "i made a new type of bandage for you :)" and curt almost breaks down crying.

barb getting overstimulated sometimes from listening to all the noise happening during a mission while she's on call with them so curt sets up a way for them to just message on the watch so that when she needs it he can mute his microphone for her

owen asking barb questions to make sure he's understanding and treating curt properly. and curt finds out and is so touched.

owen being like "i'm glad you guys have each other but idk. i don't want to be mean at all but you guys always talk about shit that's supposed to be a symptom of neurodivergency but i mean i've experienced most of those things for my entire life and i'm neurotypical." "......you what." "oh god owen..."

owen "if i don't click my gun three times before each mission then Something Bad will happen idk what but i Can't start this mission until i've read this case file three times because three is a Good Number but that's all totally normal right" carvour going "i don't have ocd what are you talking about" "yes bud you do"

curt starts consciously setting aside time before missions for owen to compete any ritual he needs to feel comfortable

owen's very embarrassed by it at first but one day curt goes "hey. if three is the big number, then i better give you three kisses right?"

owen blushes very hard and refuses to admit it

they tell tatiana later and this prompts a bunch of friendly teasing because "how could you not realize that carvour lol. anyways can someone help me file this case file i'm not good with reading." "what do you mean?" "oh you know when you're trying to read and the letters are just floating around?"

"....tatiana."

curt and tatiana as dyscalculia/dyslexia buddies that help each other out. tatiana will help curt with math and curt helps tatiana with reading and writing, and it works out really well bc tatiana likes math and curt likes reading and writing <3

the Squad is having a conversation one day and the informant keeps clearing their throat. and everyone is just like "hey. you uh. you need a lozenge bro? you good? you need water? you need a cough drop? are you okay?" and everytime he's like "yes im fine haha don't worry about it"

but stuff like that Keeps happening

the gang chalk it up to just another quirky thing abt them until the informant gets really stressed out one day and is just clearing their throat Again and Again

this master of disguise has tourettes babeyyy

when they're in situations where she has to be quiet, she's just sitting there desperately holding her tics in. and the minute the mission is over, before they go out to celebrate they sit in the car for a minute and let the informant get everything out of their system

sometimes when he's in a crowd and the informant's ticcing is bad enough that he starts getting self conscious, everyone else just starts helping him cover them up

the informant, ticcing: "are you SURE this isn't annoying?" curt, playing with a very loud and squeaky tangle fidget toy: "i gotta be real with you i literally didn't even notice man."

it's not something they really talk about with anyone besides each other. but one day, without saying anything, they show up to an agency meeting and cynthia just goes "susan?" and susan brings out a little bowl of stim toys and just. sets them in the middle of the table.

everyone just casually grabs one throughout the meeting. cynthia does not address this but sue enough. every meeting afterwards there is always a bowl on the table.

"cynthia, may i ask-" "susan, when mega is playing with a fucking stretchy worm he is more focused on what i have to say than i have ever seen him. we are keeping them." "understood."

"....hey cynthia, can i-" "sure, take your pick susan."

[anxiously-sidequesting]

Okay I'm finally gonna make a regular pinned post instead of that ✨old ass✨ Ambrose one

(this is really just for my own benefit and for new followers/lurkers more than anything else but it's super neat if you read it also. ill give you 7 dollars if you do)

*throws introduction and facts about me on the table:

i'm usually called Sillo but i'm cool with any names anyone wants to give me. bitch, enemy of the state, Dick Van Dyke.

pronouns are largely she/her/hers but im trying out other pronouns like a new pair of pants. i also identify as GNC so you'll hear me refer to myself with masculine terms from time to time but i still want to be a girly girl. if that makes sense. im also cool with they/them/theirs also!!

im currently 23 years old but my dream is to one day live into the hundreds so i can be a knife wielding disillusioned bitter old lady

im poc 💖 this doesn't affect anything but i just thought id mention that

if i ever misunderstand your words or accidentally say something insensitive, offensive, or upsetting, i super duper apologize deeply, i'm autistic so i unfortunately have a hard time reading social cues, understanding people properly, or taking others' emotions into account. please please please lmk if this ever happens so that i can correct myself and do better in the future 💖

i mostly post analysis posts on wizard101 lore and its characters but take this with a grain of salt because my knowledge of the game is very limited, i forget most of what i experience and i havent played the game in maaaybe 8 years? so my observations and opinions are very outdated sorry. oopsies

i have a sideblog at @/silloisbroke if anyone wants to lurk or follow me there for non-wizard stuff. it's just my hyperfixations on kid cartoons and kid games and i just made it like 2 weeks ago so its pretty empty and cringe

im going to very gently ask that you only interact (DMs + becoming friends) if you're 16 or over. the blog isn't explicit and minors can follow me if they want to, i don't and won't post anything extreme on here. BUT i am uncomfy with being friends and interacting with anyone who's like a kiddie kid though so my limit is no younger than 16

i am a hypocrite. i may like things for the same reason i may dislike things. sorry im just a lil bit messed up like that 💖

FUCK TERFS and racists and all the -phobes actually. not that the wizard101 fandom has any of these but i wanna say this just in case i get any nasties on here. get out of here 💖💖💖

If you read all that congratulations and thanks that's super cool of you! welcome to my disorganized mentally ill hell 🥰

[aragarna]

For the Character ask :D

Henry Morgan ✨

oh Henry my beloved <3 (you were tired of that musketeer nonsense and wanted to bring this blog back to what it was supposed to be, uh? LOL just kidding! And thank you for the ask!)

How I feel about this character

I love him <3 My rewatch buddy @imelopsittacus made me watch Forever over 2 years ago now, and it's not just that I fell in love, I fell head over heels. Since then I've watched virtually everything Ioan Gruffudd has ever done. But it all started because of Henry Morgan. He's such a great character. He's a little closed-off, a little hard to crack, but when you realize all the sh*t he's been through, it's a miracle he's even functioning at all. He's kind and curious and smart and he didn't deserve any of the terrible things that happened to him (the curse itself, his first wife's betrayal, the asylum at a time where it basically was medical torture, his second wife disappearing while he thought they'd still have a bit of time together, etc...) There's that quote going around "all this and it just made him kind" and that's the type of character I just can't resist. Of course he's a little quirky, a little excentric, but he does have a good heart, always had (hell, that's his good heart that got him killed), so yeah, Henry Morgan needs all the hugs.

Also, he dresses well. I can't resist a man with style.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Jo, as does everyone else on the show LOL They have an obvious bond, it's just a matter of when they'll feel confident to make the next step.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

There's the obvious relationship with Abe. Which is awesome and adorable. Judd and Ioan brings so much familial chemistry that they succeed to make it believable and natural. I love that now that they're both old men, they're at times both the father to the other, or just old roomies.

But I also really like Henry's relationship with Lucas. I love how it develops through the show. Henry and Lucas are very different people. Both nerdy but in different ways. They have totally different cultures and references, but they do understand and accept that, and they do care for each other. It's obvious Lucas sees Henry as a mentor, but Henry also respects Lucas. They've noticed each other's quirks and they accept them and they're patient about it. Lucas knows Henry someone misses social cues, but that's alright, that's Henry. Henry knows that Lucas talks too much about stuff he doesn't understand but that's alright, that's Lucas. And Henry does try to be a good boss, tries to remember to give him kudos every once in a while, and covers for him if necessary.

My unpopular opinion about this character

I honestly wouldn't have minded to discover Henry had had a previous family had season 2 happened. I actually think it'd make sense and it would explain why he was so against having a child with Abigail, because of the upcoming heartbreak. He'd been there before and doesn't want to live it again.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Just wish there'd been more seasons. More episodes, more Henry. And most of all: an explanation to the curse. My rational, scientific brain doesn't live well with the absence of explanations for things. So yeah, it actually takes a bit of self control not to drive myself mad about this LOL (it doesn't have to be scientifically realistic, I understand the principle of fiction and supernatural, but at least an in-universe explanation would have been nice).

Wooh I had lots to say about Henry! Again, thanks a lot for the ask <3

[underestimated-heroine]

re-evaluated myself and agree with you in retrospect, i am sorry i was an asshole about it. thanks for catching me and standing your ground even though it was unpleasant and I was not receptive.

Hello again. Sorry for the delay in response...I was honestly deliberating how to answer/post your ask. Ultimately decided to handle it how I did your previous one--posting it but making it unrebloggable--because I felt that was most fair (hopefully? please lmk if not). Plus I took some time to articulate my response:

I truly appreciate you re-evaluating yourself and saying this, and accept your apology (insofar as I'm the one to do so). Like I said, I have not been perfect, either. Not too long after October 7th, a mutual of mine was kind enough to DM me & gently call me out on a very harmfully inaccurate post I had not only reblogged, but linked in my pinned post. Subsequently, I went through all the I/P stuff I'd reblogged/posted and realized I needed to do way better. Since then, that's what I've been fumbling to try and to do, though I am well aware I still have a long way to go.

Plenty don't want to hear it (and that's beyond fair imo, because whether or not this is our fault, it's our responsibility) but I think it's inaccurate to deny that avoiding antisemitism in fighting for Palestine has been genuinely difficult for a lot of gentiles throughout this conflict. When white supremacy isn't straight up hijacking the conversation (ex. *cough* J@ckson H*nkle* *cough*) and tricking leftists into amplifying it, it's permeating the groundwater, fundamentally warping the conversation.

The problem is that for the victims of systemic abuse and oppression, the only indicator for trust and safety they have is peoples' actions - and I think you and I can agree that includes reblogging and posting even if some act like that's silly. It's not fair or right to ask people to assume the best intentions from us when we've made mistakes, especially when antisemitism's been a growing problem in our country for the past several years.

idk. I am not trying to lecture or something, just to present my thoughts a bit more clearly, maybe? I struggle with social cues and articulation at times, so I worried about how I came off especially in my first response to you. I am also truly sorry if I was condescending or it seemed like I was attacking you. Emotions have run high through all this, and it's been hard to keep a level head through all the horror, fear, and anger.

I just truly think one of the most impactful, meaningful things we can do in our day-to-day lives to help (yes, even & maybe especially Palestinians) is to make our Jewish neighbors--and Jewish people in general--more safe, which obviously and honestly needed to happen long before October 7th.

Anyways, thanks again for saying this. It gives me comfort and motivation to see another person whose perspective I relate to, admire, and understand making the effort to take accountability and accept nuance like I am. May we both find a way to navigate through this which our future selves can be proud of, and more importantly which does the most good possible for those who are suffering.

Hi! I'm the anon who's vaguely similar to Satoru.

Just to explain things further, I feel like our similarities align both in terms of personality quirks and just factors in his biography which vaguely mirror mine.

Firstly, Satoru's personality when sketched out briefly is fairly similar to mine. I, too, can be a bit hyper-active. I can be a little unhinged. I'm often called funny. My humour is silly, and often quite dirty. I can be a little awkward sometimes and I'm not always the best at reading social cues. I'm usually the person in group chats who sends silly memes and stuff, and I'm not scared to poke fun at myself. I also know that my personality is not the easiest to get along with.

In terms of his biography, I can relate to the idea of meeting/not meeting expectations. For me, however, this is all in the contexts of academics. I gave myself targets from a very young age which I wanted to fulfil and which were, if I'm being honest with myself, expected by everyone around me (which is fine).

I'm also the youngest in my very large family so I've been a little spoiled. I feel like, in a way, when I was younger, I was almost a little too mature for my age, but then, suddenly, when I turned around eighteen, the reverse happened—perhaps due to the acknowledgement of newfound responsibilities and the inner desire to shirk them. Now, I feel like I'm lagging behind in maturity and I sometimes mask that by divulging in humour.

Because I—and I don't mean this in a boastful way—did very, very well at school, I found myself to be a little excluded by others throughout my time at secondary school, mostly communicating with others in terms of work and functioning as a bit of a benchmark of what one can possibly achieve if one works hard enough, which made me feel a little alienated and lonely. Like Satoru, though, I found myself going to a 'special' school (okay, just a normal school, but one that's very academically pushy) and there I found my true friends at the age of sixteen who were also big nerds like me. And there I found my Suguru to my Satoru (and, funnily enough, my best friend's personality is calm, collected, mature, patient to my hyperactive, weird, a little unhinged and chaotic).

But sometimes, it's even the manner in which he moves that reminds me of myself. My stature is very different from his, yes, but sometimes I'm silly like that, too.

This was a very roundabout way of saying that I can relate to Satoru a lot and I kin him a lot, and I understand him, and sometimes, when people write that Satoru would have been a very difficult person to get along with in real life, in a really silly way, I get a little self-conscious because it makes me feel and recognise that I, too, am probably a little difficult to get along with in real life!

oh my god, I can relate to some of that! I understand having a lot of goals from a young age and being expected to do well.

I really don’t think satoru is actually very hard to get along with. A lot of his personality is just a defense mechanism, like the playful nature that he is, is him, but you can see how it’s used to deflect from all the pressure put on him (similar to what you said). when I said gojo isn’t someone I could see being my bestie, it’s mostly just out of all the characters, I don’t know how we would mesh? I feel like maybe because I kin suguru, maybe we’d get along well!

I personally think you’re lovely from our interactions and so you have nothing to be self conscious about 💕

hi i hope you r doing well I hope it’s ok to ask but i don’t know what support need/level I fit into could u help give any advice/insight?. I read over everything in your pinned but I’m still stuck bc I’m worried to label myself wrongly. can u help at all? I am open to any thoughts u have.. can u relate to my experience at all as a higher support autistic?

I feel like my sensory issue are severe and interfere w my ability to wear most clothes and just daily life stuff, I feel very overwhelmed and broken by change, struggle so much with driving that it’s dangerous, can struggle to process things and do it slowly, I am verbal but have loss episodes and in general barely talk bc social/communication issues,

very difficult to maintain and make relationships, I don’t know if I mask or not bc I feel like even if I were to try to I still seem autistic and mess it up despite some people telling they think I’m high functioning(but then turn around and tell me I’m r slur bc of my autism behaviors), I struggle with hygiene and eating drinking bc I don’t feel the cues or bc of executive dysfunction pain fatigue or sensory issues,

I have motor/pain/muscular issues (mobility worsening and affecting my ability to do things like go up stairs and walk) and I do occupational therapy and it does cause me to not be able to do certain things myself like wash/do my hair and Its a struggle to shower my body too, cannot exercise either bc of POTS

I can go in public but I do it with people bc the surroundings seem overwhelming, I do not have a job currently and I know it would be so hard on me but I am going to college and eventually will be forced to get one, struggle to use utensils to eat and struggle with tasks/instructions when not done right in front of me 1on1 like a million times, I have a lot of stims and a lot of harmful to myself ones, often info dumping about special interest

I can’t handle/fully understand money/taxes/bills, it’s hard for me to prepare meals, struggle to eat much bc of GI issues and jaw fatigue, do laundry, and manage chores, and manage medications, extreme issue with organization, learning disabled, get overwhelmed/meltdown/shutdown very easily

I’m not sure what else to add to take into consideration (can u give ideas) or how to tell which level and support need this fits as .. like I guess I’m not low support bc I do need help with BADLS as I mentioned but I I don’t know if it’s wrong of me to say I’m high support or medium support or a flux of both?.. and have no idea with “levels” I was dx with a level but feel like it’s incorrect .. and based on what I said which BADLS and IADLS do I need help with and how many is that? It’s confusing :(

Here's the relevant section of my FAQ post

"I don't know what support needs I'd be considered!"

Do you have care needs? No? Then you're not high support needs, you're most likely low or low-to-mid support needs.

My country re-assesses my support needs regularly; if you're medium or high support needs and weren't medically neglected your whole life, you'd normally know that you're medium or high support needs already, because that's tested (if you're not sure, check the documents). But testing is different from country to country.

Unless, of course, something happened recently that you now suddenly need a lot of help, definitely more than before. In this case there likely wasn't any testing yet. But in that case I can't help you either, because I don't test you.

Note because this still is a common misunderstanding: The DSM-5 says for example "Autism level 1: Requires support", but the support that's meant there has nothing to do with the support needs we're talking about in this and in the linked post. It's a little unfortunate that both say "support" because people always think it's the same when it really really isn't ☝🏼

I feel like you're mixing up autism levels and support needs still, because the first part of what you wrote (sensory issues, social stuff) is relevant for your level, but not for a support needs/care level assessment.

Maybe read the linked post and the support needs post (linked within the linked post) again but pay attention to the "Who determines if you're low, medium or high support needs (if you have support needs)?" post this time 🤔

Autism levels are given to you by professionals and not to be "guessed" - that's why I don't know what level I'd be considered (we don't have levels), and don't even further think about what level I'd be because I simply don't have a level. You can disagree with the level of course, but when talking about levels you then don't say "I'm level [guessed level]", but "I was diagnosed level [diagnosed level] but think I'm actually higher/lower".

Same goes for support needs. Not "I'm [guessed support needs]" but "I'm [assessed support needs]" or "I think I'm somewhat [guessed support needs]".

It's not a handy personality test self-categorization thing. It's something that's tested. By professionals. Only.

Ooohhh, good luck with your schoolwork, then! And don’t push yourself too hard~

I get what you mean! To be honest, I tend to make him lean more towards good, myself- It’s just how I view him, in no small part (like you said) thanks to all of the overly malicious interpretations of him. And honestly, especially with the other Stars, I usually interpret him as “good-leaning chaotic neutral,” so really, I’m probably biased, too! Also, he definitely, absolutely does need therapy- To help recognize and process his own feelings (and validate them), to help him recognize social cues he tends to disregard, etc. If nothing else, he’s lived for so goddamn long and seen so much shit that he could do with talking to A Professional about it and just getting it off of his chest. And that’s just with his canon role as a Protector… If you view anything with, say, Gin as canon, he probably needs it even more. And I’m a sucker for Gin/Ink, so I like taking it into account, heh.

I think I may have read that one, too! I… Also cannot remember the title, though, whoops. But! I could see his abandonment issues (and probable RSD, at least in my opinion (no I’m not projecting hush-) because Look At Him) playing into how he takes all of this- And the entire thing combines with his other issues and the fact that protecting the Multiverse is kind of a Big Deal to him, and it all just. Really, really starts to weigh him down, I think. He’d be trying to go over everything he did- Wondering if he did something to make them think he hated being soulless, like you said, or how he led them to think that he needed saving from the Creators (which, maybe he does, just. Not like this), or how me screwed up so much that two of the people he bases his understanding of morals off of went off the deep end. Did he interfere too much? Is this going to happen to others? Was there a way he could have seen this coming and stopped it? Blue and Dream would probably hate that he’s thinking that way (and maybe it even feeds more into their delusions, because how could he think like that? It couldn’t be their fault, right? They’re in too deep now, they can’t just stop-), but Ink is gonna spiral into self hatred and spiral hard, no matter how you look at it.

Core deserved to go a bit feral and wreck havoc on people who hurt the ones they love. Just a little bit. You know. As a treat. For real though, they’re definitely the sort of threat you regret overlooking, because even if they, physically, cannot do anything to you, kiddo’s got Influence and Knowledge and probably a damn good Scary Face. They’re definitely gonna assemble the squad to get their artistic pal back.

Depending on how badly off Ink is in the moment (both emotionally and physically), Cross might actually start out as a necessary caretaker AND protector for him- No one wants to decide things For Him, given everything that happened, but also, if he’s refusing to take his vials and not letting himself feel or function, someone needs to try and make sure he’s at least semi-healthy, you know? Either way, given time and A Lot of healing, I definitely see it developing into a much healthier, much happier friendship and partnership- With Cross probably acting like a Big Brother sometimes, because you know, Oreo Bros. And by that I mean, once they regained their bond, he gleefully holds having almost an Entire Foot on Ink over his head, and stuff like that (let them tease each other and be goofballs, they need it-).

Core and Cross are just gently giving Ink hugs and head pats while Error is just that one video of the guy awkwardly petting the other guy with a broom. And Fresh, in my mind, has plenty of motive to keep Ink Alive and Kicking because, if the Protector is gone, the chances of his Primary Food Source dying out goes up. Also I just really like the dynamic he’d bring to this particularly chaotic table, it’d be fun.

AHAHAHAHA HES SUCH A FUCKIN MANBABY AND I LOVE IT. Tantrum throwing Error over what would, to other people, be Weird Shit is always just. So funny to me. If Blue and Dream do kidnap Ink, I imagine he’d be a likely source of rescue, because the indignity of Someone Else having the nerve to capture His Rival would drive him insane.

O O F. That’s a tough (and painful) one. My first thought is that, if they wish for Ink to have a soul, and to not be “burdened” with the role of Protector anymore, the Overwrite reconstructs his old soul and locks him back in his old, unfinished AU… With just the sketches and his own thoughts for company. Unless it erases his memories, I don’t imagine he’d cope well with the sudden onslaught of Feeling so much and being in his Worst Nightmare.

My OTHER thought is that they wish to be Ink’s “perfect protectors” or something along those lines, but without any real guidelines, so now everyone has to deal with Shattered Dream and a Much More Deadly Blue running around and refusing to let Ink go anywhere.

Alternately, it goes right… For them. By locking all three Stars in the Doodlesphere and rendering it impossible to breach. Talk about an opportunity to gaslight poor Ink.

YOU KNOW GIN LORE!?

I'm sorry for shouting at you like that- but I have not been able to find a single thing about Gin's lore! Like I have a name, that's all I know. All I know is his name and that he had a close bond with Ink, or something like that. I don't even know where to look for this man's lore, which sucks because he?? Looks cool to me??? And he's Ink's friend???? I genuinely don't even know what Gin's lore is or what AU he's from-

Okay so that either refers to Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy or rejection sensitivity, and honestly? I'm here for both of them (I have looked as their basic definitions and nothing more). I, too, suspect that I may have some problems when it comes to abandonment and rejection... but this isn't a therapy session and I'm trying to be mysterious about myself, so we won't dwell on that. I can get behind Ink spiraling into self-hatred, that's a whole mood. Also, I just feel like if Dream and Blue tried to reassure him that it wasn't his fault (and of course they would, why wouldn't they step in?), Ink wouldn't believe them. There's just no other explanation for it, to him. Especially if they were to try and explain their reasoning to him.

I want you to know that I read "artistic" as "autistic" and didn't bat an eye. That's some self-projection right there.

Ooo yes yes, I understand exactly what you mean! I can see Cross being a necessary caretaker for the time being, if only to keep Ink functioning. Also just to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't do anything drastic, just as a precaution.

HJBVHHJBHJGG- Error with the broom?? Trying to comfort Ink by probing him with it?? Splendid imagery. He never learned how to comfort people, he's doing his best. He's improvising for the situation and I think that deserves some credit.

If Dream and Blue were to kidnap Ink, Error would be that one clip of the tank pulling right up to the house's door. I hope you know what I'm talking about, I think it's the perfect example of this. Error being a huge manbaby and having tantrums is something I live for, but it's so rare to find it in fanfics?? At least from my own experience. And I attribute that to the fact that Error's also greatly mischaracterized by a majority of the fandom as some sort of saint, but that's a topic for a different day.

(I will never want to rant about this.)

You know... I'm the one who suggested the hypothetical scenario, but you didn't have to assault me with that first interpretation /lh. My poor baby- especially because I'm pretty sure Ink doesn't actually remember anything from before waking up in the Anti-Void?? So he'd be confused and petrified, with no way of stopping his emotions or processing them. This also means that Broomie's gone for good, how could you do this Anon?

I do love me some Shattered content. Some nice Shattered and Ink interactions, we love to see it, love to see it. Some "nice" interactions. In this case, it's definitely a hostage situation, even before they hypothetically emerge victorious. Since Shattered now has tentacles, he can basically keep Ink restrained at all times, if he were to catch him. I can picture the scene: they use the OVERWRITE on themselves and, as soon as they do, Ink feels it. Something is wrong. So very wrong. The story- stories- they're different now. Something's gone wrong, he needs to fix it, but he's probably too bewildered by what he just witnessed to react properly. And for a little treat, just a little seasoning, imagine that he feels actual pain whenever something major like this- something so extremely off-script- happens. If the pain's great enough, it would render him stunned just long enough for the two to strike.

In the situation where they get locked in the Doodlesphere, I imagine there would be a scene where Ink's just processing everything. He's like "Creators... what the actual fuck?" The Creators really went to get the milk, huh?

Alternatively, Nightmare's probably just somewhere, eating popcorn while watching this whole thing go down from start to finish.

Quick note, click on the tags below when on my tumblr URL to see my personal posts since I do so much rebloging, if interested after reading the rest below.

Hello I wanted to write this post to inform people on why I don't post IRL stuff often, Among some other things..due to past trauma with some people on here and on some other sites I have become afraid to post anything about myself in fear of being bullied I have been criticized for my care of my pets and had not been given the chance to explain and instead sent awful messages on how bad of an owner I am…my family has reassured me that I take very good care of the bird I have currently, I have taken her for vet check ups and gotten her trims when she needs them, the most difficult thing I am finding with an untamed bird is trying to get her on a healthier diet than just seeds, she's extremely hesitant to try any veggies or fruits but I keep trying with her regardless..

The other issue I've been having is self confidence, Anxiety, and quite a bit self hatred..most of this is due to the past drama that happened the past year..

I want to point out I have autism (aspbergers) which makes a lot of understanding certain social cues and facial expressions hard for me..that has made it difficult in handling the treatment I got from people..

This brings me to a point..please be patient with me..or at least understand that I have some difficulties with certain things, if you have an issue with me please talk to me first..don't assume I'm dumb/don't care, I will try to make things right if I do wrong..

I might post some irl pics sometimes, but I'm very unsure at this point.

Here's a pic of my current birb
