#i'm not a psychologist don't @ me

Jazz wasn't crazy. People might argue that burning her childhood home to the ground with her parents still inside would be an indicator of insanity. But how else was she supposed to react after coming back home from college to find out her parents had brutally killed her brother via vivisection?

Dying her hair blonde wasn't crazy either before anyone asked. Plenty of girls dyed their hair when they needed a change. Besides, she could never live with herself if she kept the same hair color as that vile woman.

Admittedly Jazz would have to secede moving to Gotham had been a little crazy but it was the perfect place to start fresh and blend in despite her "quirks". She had even picked out a nice new identity for herself.

Clearly Jazz was not crazy as she had managed to land a job at Arkham Asylum as a psychiatrist. If she were really insane would they have ever hired her? No they wouldn't have.

Jazz was not crazy. She was very much sane. Just like her precious Mr. J.

I swear I have read your big post regarding Peter Parker's neurodivergence and why it is best to avoid labelling him, but he definitely has a weird brain

Can't find it and feel kinda sad about it cuz I deeply related to it

i know exactly which post you're talking about and i can't find it either! i've raked through my archive, and it's just - nowhere to be seen. i think tumblr eated it (it happens.)

really, tumblr's search functionality is so so useless, i don't know what to tell you. there are plenty of keywords i can search to find it that post, but the search functionality actually just does not work!

undiagnosed audhd-addled peter parker, my darling, my light, my life, my everything.

i think peter parker's such an interesting creature to write, because a lot of people will point to a certain behaviour about him and say "this is an autistic thing, right?" but a lot of those behaviours are actually, in my head, tied to certain traumas in peter's life too.

people say "oh, the food thing, peter's a picky eater because he's autistic" and yes, absolutely. but also it's tied to his trauma with his parents.

peter gets overstimulated, and yes, it's an autism thing, but also he was bitten by a radioactive spider and his senses are dialled to 11.

it's a similar case i've found for myself, too – where a lot of friends i have kind of diagnose me because i have autistic traits, but actually - i'm hesitant to claim the label or pursue diagnosis because, actually, i know where these certain behaviours come from, and they come from certain traumas. there are events i can pinpoint in my life and say "yep. that's where this behaviour comes from."

so - i think there's a lot of overlap between trauma and autistic traits. the brain is very complex! i think the reason for that overlap is maybe as simple as the fact that people with autism and people with trauma are both doing the same thing - developing behaviours to protect themselves or soothe themselves. so - i think it's nice to be able to see a character like peter parker, who may or may not be autistic, but recognise behaviours in him and see yourself in him.

people who go undiagnosed for whatever reason - people who are really good at masking - so good, in fact, that they have no idea they might be on the spectrum - everyone and anyone at all can look at peter parker and recognise themselves. because i think we discredit the thought that every single brain does the same thing! develops certain behaviours in order to survive. every brain has that same software - we've just all been faced with different hardships that we need to overcome, and that's were all the differences come in.

autism is a spectrum, i guess - everyone falls into it to some degree. and i think events in your life probably push you along on it. but i don't know, i didn't study brain science. probably what i'm saying is very stupid and uninformed. of course there's brain chemistry involved. but i know people in my life living with autism and certain events in their life have exacerbated certain behaviours or made coping with it a lot more difficult. so maybe trauma is a catalyst.

mmmnnother idea too

"For a self-proclaimed researcher... I thought you'd know by now that Psychic-types are weak against Ghost." "Morty-ehehe! B-But I'm nohohot a type specialist!" "Maybe should've thought of that first before deciding to wake me up so early."

There needs to be an anarchist mutual aid hotline. Like you call it and your local prison abolitionist transgender comrade answers and you can just be like "Hi I went to hospital for help but instead they're just deeply incompetent and retraumatising me, also I'm homeless, what do I do?" and they can be like "I got you, tell them to fuck off and remember it's always morally correct to lie to psychiatrists. If you want, my friend lives near the hospital and can pick you up and my neighbour lets people crash in their spare room, also if you put my name down as next of kin I'll advocate for your discharge. Or if you prefer we can brainstorm how to demand what you need and I'll get a friend in the area to come visit you so you feel safer."

Maybe I need to make this a thing.

I’ve heard it may be canon so i’m probably wrong, but in my personal opinion diagnosing Gristol Malik as a delusional narcissist (at least in the clinical sense of those terms, and without further elaboration) is a fairly shallow interpretation of his character. I think it’s important to make a distinction between delusional versus deluded, and narcissistic versus entitled.

Given the vague religious imagery in his mind and the parallels to Imperial Russia, it’s very likely that the Maliks believe in the divine right of kings, meaning he’s been raised since birth to believe that he was literally chosen by God to be Gzar, and questioning that or himself would be nothing short of heresy.

The ride in his mind is explicitly filled with propaganda--which begs the question of who that propaganda is meant to influence. He doesn’t seem to be expecting visitors, but he does go through the ride himself, probably on a regular basis. And it’s not like he’s pathologically incapable of critical thought; in his mind post-game he ponders the implications of his plan’s failure, only to pause and then quickly revert to the same old i’m-the-rightful-gzar narrative right when he could have realized something. In the physical world, he sings the propaganda song to himself, maybe trying to shut down these thoughts.

Like Raz, Gristol been raised on a false narrative that’s been passed down generations--but he actively chooses to fill his own mind with propaganda rather than admit that he’s been lied to.

Been progressively getting more depressed and weepy on a daily basis about the hopelessness and meaningless of my life n situation n just today realized "oh it's because I go back to school on monday" and I associate school with pain because the seats are always fucking horrible and I always have to do sooo much work and coordination with accommodations, and I have a 3 hour long class this semester that I have to take in order to graduate with my minor and I cannot sit almost anywhere for that fucking long given my health problems. So I'm going to have to probably talk to this professor and beg them to let me stream in-- which will probably not work. My spanish class is in a room with god awful seating. I have one class more than I usually do and even though its a 1 credit class it's still another hour I have to spend in pain.

So all that said, my brain is apparently so traumatized by how awful my pain has gotten in the last 2 years that it's basically triggered by just. school. Probably need some sort of cptsd diagnosis. And lots of therapy. idk guys. I hope I can actually make it to my graduation.
