#damn you autism and adhd

[cccccasperghost]

Does anyone else feel a little icky about oakworthy rn?

Especially after this episode it just doesn't feel right. Like at first it was fucking sweet to see a queer person in the main cast, like "oh an awkward quirky boy crushing on an overly confident drama dweeb, sick."

After the comedy standup episode and learning that no he didn't steal the mascot costume for school spirit and no he doesn't actually like Normal I was like ok cool, not ideal but certainly salvageable. Maybe an friends to enemies to lovers kind of thing, I still have hope for them.

Them after that is was just all downhill. It feels more like Hermie's just using the fact that Normal likes him for his own gain and that just doesn't sit right.

Like yeah Hermie has his own shit with his dad's going on as well as obvious mental health issues to deal with but that shouldn't be an excuse. And it certainly shouldn't be Normal's job to fix that.

And the fact that Normal is now developing actual feelings for Hermie and genuinely trying to help someone who (for lack of a better word because it feels too little to say crush) he loves just breaks me to see him get treated like this.

Hermie knows Normal likes him and he's actively using that to try and get Normal to first kill his dad then get with two of his friends.

Maybe if Hermie sees how much pain he's putting Normal through, or I don't know like Normal being doodlerised or something and he starts either trying or move on maybe then they can build a relationship or friendship.

I just want Normal to be happy, maybe it's just my own baggage filling into this or something but this isn't right. The amount of stress that Normal's under has got to stop.

I mean first your dad goes missing, then you realize your dad has been running some organization to fight monsters, turns out he isn't proud of you, one of you're friends alliance herself with a murderer, they kill your principal Infront of you, your dad fucked with the world up, you have to go into another dimension to save your dad, a weird monster thing from that world is the only person to see how hurt you are right now, you're finally able to go home, now your friends going through some shit that you have to help with. After that you learn that the boy you've been crushing on scammed you for your mascot costume, something you love very dearly, but that's fine you think its awesome that someone has that much school spirit- SIKE. Turns out he didn't do it for any reason you thought, actually he couldn't give less of a shit about you, now he's asking you to kill his dad for a date, then goes directly to you for advise to get with your friends after you learn that your very cruelty free very vegan and consent enforcing parents have been forcing your sister to fight and kill animals because she has to be the chosen one.

Like dude can't catch a break, so much is out of his control and none of the kids or adults seem to be doing anything about it or care. This is probably one of the only things he can control in his life and yet he's still getting hurt by it.

It would make sense if he got doodlerised and honestly that might have to be the thing that get his family and friends to care about it. I'm not saying all the other teens traumas and struggles aren't valid but you can't compare them.

Taylor has always had a good life, he's had a caring, rich, and financially stable mother.

Linc has two wonderful dads who care about his mental health and supports his interest, sure grant hasn't always been truthful about his really dangerous job but even when they were trying to keep the teens in the d.a.d.d.i.e.s building he cared about his sons wellbeing.

Scary is the only one out of them who stands a chance against the emotional pain scale against normal. Shehas a wonderful mother, but she struggles with not having her dad around and doesn't feel like she fits in her own family and now the fact that her step father has been shot in front of her which I'm not saying isn't as bad as what Normal's going through just hold on. All of the teens struggle don't even touch the generational pain that normal is going through with his entire life and the lives of his dad and uncle and his grandfather.

It's clear he's trying so hard to carry everyone else's pain and Hermie is deliberately using his kind and caring nature and it feels so wrong. He's not blind he can see how much normal is holding and using his emotions and Normal's knowledge on how he views him and using it against him.

I want so badly for it to work but I don't know how it can.

Anyways this was more stream of consciousness than I wanted but let me know your ideas on it, maybe I'm thinking about it wrong I don't know.

When you start to think about getting tested for adhd and autism and go "huh... I should do my own research first, lemme make a list of everything" and then do months of research and end up seeing that in your kindergarden observation notes you can literally see when you started masking, and that They Have A Picture Of You Having A Meltdown and saying that you're "stoic" and "angry" in some moments, while being a calm-ish kid otherwise.... you start to realize that maybe Not everyone had the same experience and maybe you are Not normal and just being difficult....

Hello I'm back to just say random headcanons about Archie and Maxie...

I think this all came up from me needing smth to think about while I do daily chores, but I don't really think either of them fit entirely into the high schedule or no schedule kind of days.

Like obviously they both do a little but not in the way you'd immediately think of when you think of those ideas. Like generally if someone says they're strict and scheduled you'd think they'd take care of themself and vice versa but I don't think that's the case with them.

Cuz it's canon that Maxie is strict and clearly has his day all planned and does the same shit everyday (see that one Magma grunt complaining about his daily speeches). But I definitely don't think his self-care skills are even mediocre.

I think his schedule is less that he has it like written down or even really planned out, it's just kinda that he does the same stuff everyday. The issue is most of that stuff is work related and he's pushed basic care like eating and sleeping to the side. (Hence the hc of him being a smoker as well as a heavy drinker. Those things don't take a lot of effort to grab and it would give him the only breaks he'd think he needs like going out to smoke.)

As where with Archie I think (like most of the things with them) he's the opposite. He's not a really scheduled person, but I think he does have a sort of mental checklist of the things he needs to do through the day. I think all of his daily tasks are just kinda based around his personal stuff just not like at specific times.

I think he does the obvious shit everyday, like obviously eating, showering, working out, he seems like the kind of person to have like extensive skin care ngl and he does all of it everyday the only thing is, he just kinda does all of it when he gets the chance or just when he feels like it rather than having a "wake up do this and this and this" type of mentality.

anyway that's just kind of the basis of it. I see a lot of people that take the proof of Maxie being a scheduled kind of person and taking it as him being someone that like always makes sure he's like taking care of his hair and all this little personal care stuff and Archie having a very relaxed team (like they don't even have work hours) seems to make people give him the vibe of just not giving a shit but again I think it's the opposite its just that they can't be normal and have to do everything wrong :)

Like Maxie's strict daily schedule is basically just "if i cut out useless stuff like trying to stay alive, I can get more work done." And Archie's schedule is non-existent but god forbid he doesn't get to go for a jog at least somewhere in his day.

Maybe if they live together they can work out a healthy middle ground of both of those... maybe not though...

Yall will really be like "believe all victims" and "mental health matters" until someone shows a symptom you can't glamorize

Nelly always made sure to paint her entire fingernail so people would know that she wasn't like other girls. She was crazy.

[steakout-05]

i think having TF2 as a special interest really early in my childhood influenced so many things about myself and my identity.... my gender is big men my sexuality is big men and my sense of humour is big men. i even named myself after the "very tiny and scrawny but still big" big man and i think about all the big men in TF2 on a semi daily basis,,,,,, anyway yeah i like the men in TF2 :)

So the anesthesiologist was in the room when I got back here, and after a minute he and Brian were just chatting about Brian's stones and we're they like, recessive or what? And I just bust out, after 5 minutes in the room completely silent, "you know, like the peas" with no context whatsoever.

Thank God I remembered Mendel's name after a second to explain myself, cause at first I'm like, "...you know, like in 10th grade?" Also thank God to the anesthesiologist for remembering it enough then to be "wait wait I remember this kind of" and pulling it up on wiki on his phone to read up really fast

But sure, my brain's COMPLETELY normal 😆 just pulling 10th grade bio out of thin air

[nightingalesighs]

I am. In pain and I need to sleep to get rid of it. But I can’t put my phone down. I fucking hate executive dysfunction.
