okay y’all. spencer reid fans buckle up, cause i have some thoughts. i wanna talk about post-prison era reid. we all love him, but i've been having some major thoughts about it. one of the main things about post-prison era reid, is that he masks so heavily, and none of his autistic traits are shown anymore. now i'm all for trauma making a character mask more, but cm didn't really view it like that, and i dont like that. another thing about post-prison reid is that he no longer gives any fucks and will fuck you up. i love this, because it personally feels like, after years of being ridiculed for his autism and how it affects him, he fights back against it. you can try and ridicule him, but he's gonna put up a fight, and you're not gonna win. a lot of people like post-prison era reid because of his hair- which is completely valid,, fluffy haired reid is amazing. but i feel like we as a fandom are not talking about the drastic changes in his character enough. yes! post-prison reid is awesome! but let's talk about why. how he went through trauma and it changed him fundamentally. how he masks so much he's almost unidentifiable. everything that made reid him before, doesn't anymore, and reid has to figure out who he is without that. he has to figure out IF there is a him without it.

in conclusion: post-prison era reid is so so interesting, and we as a fandom don't go into WHY post-prison reid is, if not the best, one of the best, eras of reid enough.

ough wait i just had a realization. I may be super late to this but like, what if part of the reason Lloyd was so fond of harmless pranks and ‘being evil’ (stealing candy) was because of his Oni side. It was chaos right, like he ran around looking for friends/attention yes, but he also was just having fun causing pure weird chaos. Maybe that’s why he wasn’t ‘evil’ enough for school, he was never evil. He was just part Oni and had a natural affinity towards causing mischief bc it made his Oni side happy. 

I also think he never fully Stopped pranking the ninja. He tuned it down because he was aged up and yk, they’re usually pretty busy saving Ninjago City from destruction yet again. But I bet he still does it. Maybe he doesn’t steal but I bet he’ll hide favorite pens/important tools from the others just to see their reaction. They all know it’s him.

i know others have touched on this before but as i'm currently in s6 on my rewatch i am thinking Big Thoughts and trying to write them down into something coherent.

so much of s6 involves dreams and resets and circular storytelling that ultimately has little to no effect on reality. (the ouroboros of it all.) mulder and scully appear to be learning the same lessons over and over, retracing their steps again and again without actually moving forward. scully first talks about the endless line in never again, and then again in dreamland about how they are in the car together driving past people living "real lives" while they just keep driving. she wants a life, he wants the chase, and how do they reconcile the two? she is asking him - in her subtle circling-the-issue (the ouroboros of it all) way - to Get Out Of The Car With Her, live a normal life With Her.

never mind that the car IS their normal life. she doesn't see that yet. he doesn't see that yet. so they keep driving.

in a way, the whole season is Monday played out in long form. they are repeating the same story over and over because they haven't learned the lesson yet. in a season heavy with Wizard of Oz references, it comes down to this: if i ever go looking for my heart's desire, i won't look any further than my own backyard.

i mean, let's look at some themes shall we:

Drive: we can't get out of the car (literally)

Triangle: mulder is trapped in a ww2 funhouse mirror of his real life and the big thing he comes away understanding is that he's in love with scully, meanwhile scully learns just how much of the world she's willing to burn down (literally all of it) to help him.

Dreamland: mulder would hate a normal life, scully doesn't actually want to get out of the car

How the Ghosts Stole Christmas: scully's back in the car (both literally and "maybe i did want to be out there with out") and mulder is recognizing that it can't all be about him and also YOU IDIOTS ARE SO IN LOVE EVEN THE JADED DEAD CAN SEE IT

Terms of Endearment: what do we really want in this life, and what are we willing to do to get it?

The Rain King: what you want is right in front of you (you idiot)

Tithonus: what is eternity without love

Monday: the ouroboros will only break when you figure out what you need to do to fix it

Arcadia: okay maybe playing house/getting out of the car isn't right for either of us

Milagro: agent scully is already in love

The Unnatural: (incoherent sobbing i cannot talk about this one it's Just So)

Three of a Kind: mulder isn't even IN this one but scully will stop drop everything to get in the car fly to vegas at 2:30 in the morning because she doesn't want to get out of the car if he's not coming with her so i guess we may as well keep driving

Field Trip: their worlds are not complete without each other

obviously i'm leaving some out, mostly mytharc and "meh" episodes that i don't remember well enough to analyze right now but you get the picture.

and it's like ??? these beautiful idiots keep saving each other and throwing themselves on the knife to protect each other and and and and OPEN YOUR GODDAMN EYES

i think *frequently* about two of Tallulah’s backpacks, one called “La Luna” and one called “El Sol”

and the fact she originally designated only one as hers

and the other was designated as Wilbur’s.

Shell Shocked thoughts

Been thinking about how Raph and Mona would definitely take the boys topside early on by having them spend time at Aprils farmhouse!

Letting the kids play around in the grass and mud, having them sunbath with Leo and Donnie. Which turns into napping for the afternoon ;;

Ralphie and Michael gardening with April and Mikey. Turns out the kids have a green thumb! Once Danny sees the stars he wants to spend hours just out in the open air stargazing. This later turns into a habit he and Leon share when their thoughts get too loud.

Raph saying “ya know your mom came from a star.” And it just sticks with the two of them. The boys playing pretend as they roughhouse in the front and just ahhhhhhhhh summers with the Hamato family @ the Farm house guysssss

But also the quiet moments when the boys get to ‘meet’ their grandfather. It takes Raph a while to actually take about Splinter while at his grave with the boys, Mona is there and helps to fill in the gaps Raph can’t really say.

It’s an innocent thing too. Michael and his waving at the cold stone, Leon and Danny casually saying ‘well duh that’s grandpa! He has dads last name!’ Ralphie and Michael worrying later on when Raph stops talking; ‘what’s wrong chichi?’

chose like the three people i think would deviate a lot- but like i think the TOS starfleet uniforms would've been pretty customizable.

like if you really wanted to be cozy you could be cozy and if you wanted to be a slut you could do that too.

Time is weird. Like, all of history exists, everyone who has ever lived, and we don't know who most of them are. We will never know who most of them are, and a lot of the ones we do know are only in the context of their relationships with other people, like all of those merchants complaining about Ea-nasir's shitty copper, or all of the servants who have ever worked for some monarch or other. And that really screws with my head because I don't want to be forgotten. I don’t want to have such a little impact on time that the only thing I'm remembered for is having a relationship with someone else. I don't want to be the footnote in someone else's story.

Musings from an autistic adult age regressor

|

It’s sometimes really odd for me to regress because I am aware I work differently than some other kids do. Even when I was physically a child I knew there was something off about me and how I interacted with the world. I remember forcing myself to have imaginary friends but I knew they weren’t real and it felt so tedious pretending someone was there when I knew they weren’t. I remember watching other kids scream and run around, smacking into each other recklessly but it seemed too painful and uncomfortable so I never joined in (at least not willingly). I remember being regarded as very mature for my age but never fully relating to adults either because even they didn’t seem to understand me. I remember trying to mimic what I saw “normal kids” do on tv in my real life in hopes of somehow magically fitting in. I remember wanting to talk about toys and video games and movies and tv but the only people who would listen were adults who clearly didn’t care. I remember trying to play dumb in hopes that people seeing me as a simple minded kid would make me into one. I remember worrying I was letting the adults in my life down by not being cute and childish enough, like I somehow took away their kid. I remember thinking I just needed to wait a little longer and then I’d get it, “how to be a kid” would suddenly click in and I’d know what to do. But that never happened, instead I became a teen who couldn’t relate to people, and now an adult who can’t relate to people.

Even in a whole community of people who regress like me I feel different and I just don’t relate to a lot of people’s coping mechanisms. However I guess that’s how its always been and I’m not so much upset as I am surprised that even now I don’t know how to be a kid. But I can still try.

Ultimately regressing makes me feel safer and warmer that I usually do, it’s like a blanket for when the stress gets too high and I can’t think straight anymore. I’ve never been good at crying, tears just don’t come to my eyes, but regressing helps me clear them out. A warm blanket, a nice snack, and the presence of my own mind do me quite well. Maybe what I need to learn from this is not that I’m failing my regression but that I’m succeeding, I truly am me.

Enough rambling, I’m gonna have some tea, watch mlp, and then snooze. Long live the weird kids.

im playing ac odyssey and how can Kass kill like a bunch of people without a second thought but is like 'nooo dont jump' to that one guy in Pephka. like imagine an ac game where its encouraged NOT to kill anyone bc the protag has morals. I think that would be so interesting. it would create a need for stealth too if its in another open world game like odyssey

I’m just thinking

College Phoenix wears a pink sweater with a red scarf. He’s naive, goofy, over-emotional and blinded by love. Then he goes through a traumatic realisation that a person that he believed to have loved him actually hated him, and maybe the world isn’t such a nice easy place after all.

Present day Phoenix has his signature blue suit, with a red tie.

Young Trucy wears a red magicians outfit, similar to her biological fathers, with a red scarf. She’s sweet, innocent and clearly admires her father. Then her father vanishes, leaving her behind in a courtroom with no family member to turn to.

Present day Trucy wears a blue magicians outfit with a red scarf.

For the Wright family, blue is a symbol of experience, and the little pink/red that remains is a reminder that they’ll never fully change from their old selves, since Phoenix will always be goofy and loveable and Trucy will always be a sweetheart to anyone and everyone.

Does anybody else have an issue managing money? Often when I go to a shopping center I feel like I’m itching to buy a new toy or a trinket of some sort. I try my best to resist but then I feel like I’m lacking something, like I need to buy something to make me happy. And it’s constant, I don’t even need all this stuff but I still want it.
