autistic ramble about twilight sparkle because i love her sm and shes my fave autistic comfort character !!!

this took a really long time to make, and im really proud of it, so any reblogs/reshares would be appreciated ! especially if you like mlp !!

when people say she isnt autistic, i always find myself very surprised. i think to myself, have these people even watched the show??because yes, while the writers and lauren faust may not have intended for her to be explicitly autistic, she is very clearly portrayed that way, intentional or not. not to mention that lauren faust (creator of friendship is magic) has recently responded to a tweet saying that she thought pinkie pie being adhd was obvious; lauren faust has adhd herself, so its not surprising that so many of the mlp fim characters also posess many of the same traits as her. and i also raise the question; if she thought pinkie pie was obvious as having adhd, then why would twilight be any different?? she is very clearly autistic, but i dont think twilight's obvious neurodivergence has been addressed by lauren yet (unless im wrong of course, but i just haven't found anything about it when ive searched for it).

anywho, to list just a few of twilight's autistic traits:

- trouble socialising and making friends (this is literally the main plot point of the first few seasons and is even still present in the later seasons, so its not like this was just a one time thing). an example of this would be in the very first episode when twinkleshine, lemon hearts, and minuette invite her to moondancer's party; she awkwardly declines, saying that she needs to catch up on her studying instead. to this the other ponies say, "ugh, does that pony do anything except study? i think shes more interested in books than friends"

- she has a very obvious special interest in reading, books, research, and the study of pony magic. she indulges in these interests to such a level where she often loses track of time and stays awake all night, and often misses out on opportunities to socialise with her friends. when she cant indulge in them, she gets upset. this ties into finding comfort in routines, too.

- taking things literally (e.g: that part in "look before you sleep" where she takes rarity's statement about them getting warmer in regards to playing a game literally). look before you sleep is also a great episode showing her need to have everything planned out; in this episode, twilight has her first slumber party, and uses a slumber party planning book as a guide. she thinks has to follow every single instruction in the exact same order, and when rarity and applejack dont oblige, she gets upset.

- HEAVILY relies on schedules and planning. she utilises all kinds of lists; visual lists, written lists, checklists, etc. when she's unable to stick to her routines/plans, she becomes irrationally upset and/or angry, lashes out at other people and can have meltdowns. this is again shown all throughout the show, but is more prominent in the episode "lesson zero".

- LOVES organising, lining things up, and finding visual patterns in all sorts of things. she'll often just do this for fun and as a way to calm down, while others might find this more of a chore. i suppose this can be done as a form of visual stimming? I don't really know what this is called; but i know a lot of autistic people do it. i suppose this could also tie into needing routines and structure, as organising things can help autistic people feel more in control and can provide a sense of stability.

- she can often come off as insensitive or rude without meaning to, and sometimes she struggles with tone as well as being quite blunt. this is most likely due to her misunderstanding or being unable to read typical social cues. this could also perhaps be linked to low empathy, which is something a fair few individuals on the spectrum experience. this is especially true in the earlier seasons, but still shown in the later seasons as well.

- twilight also struggles with regulating her emotions and having meltdowns; this is typically the result of her needs not being properly met and her routines being changed. and when she's not having full blown meltdowns, she can at least be seen being snappy towards her friends when overwhelmed.

- stimming !!! oh boy does she stim a lot. stomping her hooves, jumping up and down, PACING (this is a big one), teleporting spontaneously when overwhelmed, flapping her wings, etc. in fact, twilight once paced so hard for so long that she made a groove in the floor without even realising !! (this was seen in the episode "its about time" - which is also a good episode that showcases her autistic traits)

- shes also sometimes shown struggling with overstimulation; in the third episode of the series, "the ticket master", twilight gets overwhelmed by her friends crowding around her and loudly shouting, resulting in her running off and snapping at them.

- shes often shown struggling with generalised anxiety, which is another common trait of autism.

and the best part is, this is obviously a common occurrence, and her friends fully support her through her struggles !!! her meltdowns, overthinking and anxiety are so frequent, that her friends know exactly what to do and how to help her.

obviously, this isn't every trait, this is just all the surface level stuff !!

i would have included more video and photo examples, but tumblr has a limit on how many you can add to a post :( i hope i still got my point across despite that !!

all in all, i think she's wonderful autistic representation !! even if this wasn't intentional, i still think it's great and love the way her personality and traits were portrayed. the main character of a children's show possessing these traits is awesome and something you don't see too often !! i hope lauren or at least someone on the production team talks about this, because it means a lot to myself and many other autistic people who love mlp <3

fuck it. bag off

[dani-ya-dig]

Y’all so I’ve been thinking about how all the YV boys are getting sleep aids right and it’s left me seriously wondering like… how’s that gonna work with Faust?

Because like all of the other boys are in a committed relationship with their listeners already but currently Faust and Star are just newly friends where their storylines is. And then BOOM it fucking hit me. What if it was like sleeping on call with Faust. Because like in their canon they aren’t like cuddling in the same bed close, but I think sleeping on call could make sense for them. And not to mention, I’m pretty sure Star lives far away from Faust so it would make sense right??

Faust would be all like, “What? You want me to stay on the call while you sleep? So you can like… what, listen to me breathe? Ugh, this is so cringe but fine, if that’s what will help you sleep. Don’t say I never did anything nice for you”

AND FOSBSKXXBKDBX

OR EVEN LIKE IT COULD HAVE LIKE QUIET KEYBOARD NOISES OF FAUST PLAYING A GAME OR SOMETHING WHILE STAR SLEEPS

Faust Birthday 2023 SSR - [Invited by a Dazzling Blessing] - Card Story (ft. Eastern Wizards, Akira), Episode, Home Screen Voice, Birthday Trait

Faust being a pampered cutie, the story.

Thank you @/labobirdcage for the raws!

====== Card Story: Chapter 1 - To the Carnival of Misting Petals with You ~ The Invitation for Faust ~ ======

*Door knocking sounds*

Akira: Good evening.

Heathcliff: Master Sage, we've been waiting for you.

Shino: You're late. Everyone's all here already.

Faust: Sage?

A somewhat surprised look appeared on Faust's face as I arrived at the room.

Faust: Apologies for greeting you like this in my pyjamas. But, wasn’t today supposed to be a gathering for just the Eastern Wizards?

Nero: Now, now, don’t sweat it. Our Sage here came to celebrate yer birthday, ya see.

Faust: ……Birthday? Come to think of it, tomorrow is……

Heathcliff: We lent Master Sage a hand so that they could offer you their best wishes for your birthday. 

Shino: We kept a real close eye on ya to make sure you could get all your celebrations without feeling bad ‘bout taking ‘em. 

Akira: Sorry, Faust. As your birthday gift, I really hope that you could accept this from me. 

Faust: ……This doesn’t seem like a regular letter. I can sense some traces of magic from the envelope. 

Akira: It’s an invitation to a special place called the "Carnival of Misting Petals”.

Akira: It’s something Shylock took over from an old acquaintance of his. When you write your name on this invitation and chant your spell, a special door will open. 

Akira: Previously when Shylock invited me over, I had tons of fun there, so please do let me be your escort as your birthday present. 

Faust: So it’s a carnival that’s by invitation only? For gifting something as valuable as this to me, thank you. 

Faust: However…… A place like that, surely the kids would enjoy it more than a shut-in like me. Perhaps you two should take the invitation and……

Shino: Stop whining and just go, man. This is the Sage’s present for you. 

Faust: But……

The Eastern Wizards and I gazed collectively at Faust, our eyes full of anticipation. 

Faust: ……I get it. I’ll take you up on your generosity. 

Akira: Yay, thank you so much!

====== Card Story: Chapter 2 - To the Carnival of Misting Petals with You ~ The Invitation for Faust ~ ======

The next day, I went to Faust's room at night.

Faust: So all I need to do is write my name on this invitation?

Akira: Yup. And then when you chant your spell, the door to the carnival should open up. 

I placed the door to the carnival that I brought over onto his table. 

Its size is tiny, about the height of a photo frame. Yet this object is precisely the entrance to the carnival grounds. 

Faust wrote his name on the invitation, and softly uttered his spell. 

*writing sounds*

Faust: Satillquinart Mulcreed.

*Sound of magic happening*

The invitation becomes imbued with a faint light. Then, the door to the carnival grounds opened with a creak. 

The room was covered with a mist, a sweet scent wafting in the air. 

*Scene turns to white and location changes*

Faust: This is……

When the mist subsided, we found ourselves standing amidst the opulent decor of a casino. At the sight of this impressive scene, a gasp escaped Faust’s mouth.

Faust: So this is the Carnival of Misting Petals, huh. It sure is one dazzlingly gorgeous place.  ……They even changed my clothes before I noticed.

Akira: You look really good in it! The guests of this carnival will have their outfits changed into something suitable whenever they’re brought here. 

Faust: I see…… Though it’s somewhat flashy, it’s certainly a fitting attire for a venue where adults hangout. 

Faust: Speaking of, you mentioned that you’ll be my escort, but are you really familiar with places like this? 

Akira: Ah…… No, um, not really…… 

Faust: Is that so……

Faust didn’t speak any further after muttering those few words. In just those few short moments, the conversation turned into an awkward silence. 

Akira: (D-Did I disappoint him? I’ve got to buck up, and be a proper escort that’ll help him have lots of fun……!)

Akira: Faust, shall we play any one of those games together? This is the casino room, so there’s lots of games laid out here. 

Faust: No……

Akira: (An instant rejection……!)

Faust: No, I mean, that wasn’t the right way to put it. I wasn’t clear with my words.

Faust: ……It’s embarrassing to say, but the truth is, I’m a little nervous.

Akira: ……Nervous? You are?

Faust: I don’t often get the chance to come to places like this, so I don’t really know what I should be doing. 

Faust: I don’t have much experience playing these games either, so it’d be difficult for me to help you enjoy these well……

Faust averted his gaze away from me as he mumbled in a low voice in embarrassment. 

Akira: ……pftt, ahaha! 

Faust: Hey, don’t laugh. I did say that day that I’m not cut out for places like this, didn’t I? 

Akira: That’s not it. We’re here to celebrate your birthday today after all, so all you should have needed to think about was enjoying yourself, really. 

Akira: For you to be worrying over me, should I say I was surprised, or perhaps happy……? 

Akira: Thank you, Faust. 

Faust: ……Hmph. That’s not something to be thanked over.

====== Card Story: Chapter 3 - To the Carnival of Misting Petals with You ~ The Invitation for Faust ~ ======

Akira: In that case, let’s go to a different location. 

Akira: There’s many other wonderful places in this carnival too. I’d really love to take you there. 

*Sound of opening a door*

We went through another door within the casino, and followed the passageway behind it. 

*Scene turns to black and location changes*

Upon exiting the path, we found ourselves in a beautiful garden terrace filled with blooming flowers. 

Faust: What a quiet and beautiful spot. I certainly feel more at ease at a place like this instead. 

Akira: I’m glad this is to your liking. The food is all laid out here, it seems you’re free to take all the food and drinks here as you like. 

Akira: Today is your day of celebration, so please feel free to eat whatever you want. 

Faust: My, how sumptuous. There’s no end to the assortment of snacks and desserts, and the tea smells exquisite too. 

*Sound of pottery clanging*

While saying that, Faust lifted a plate of desserts and held it out towards me.

Faust: Isn’t this your favourite dessert? Previously when we were out for desserts, it seemed like you liked it. 

Akira: Eh, you’re giving it to me? 

Faust: With how much food there is here, surely I can’t be eating them by myself? It’d be great if you could help out with it too.  

Akira: Faust…… Thank you. In that case, I’ll take you up on it, let’s eat together. 

Something suddenly crossed my mind when I nodded to accept his invitation. 

Akira: Whether it’s before or after arriving here, you’re always thinking about me and the Eastern Wizards, and not yourself, isn’t it? 

Akira: Even with these desserts, you’re actually thinking of bringing them back as souvenirs for everyone too, right……? 

Faust: …..Well. Because there’s so much of it that even if the two of us eat to our limits, we still wouldn’t be able to finish it all. 

Akira: ……I think that’s very like you, and part of what makes you wonderful. 

Akira: But, I’d be happy if you could be a little more selfish at least for today, and just enjoy the day while thinking about yourself and not anyone else. 

Akira: ……That’s what the Eastern Wizards said. Lennox and Figaro who joined our discussion on the celebration said the same thing too. 

Faust: ……I see. Understood. Would you fulfil this selfish request of mine then? 

Akira: Sure. If it’s within my strength! 

Faust: In that case….. As you can see, there are lots of flowers blooming here.

Faust: Can you pick a flower from here that you think would make for a good gift, and gift it to me?

Akira: ……Eh. 

Faust: It’s a cute selfish request, right? 

Upon seeing my surprised expression, Faust let out a chuckle as if having successfully played a prank.

Akira: …..Okay, leave it to me. I’ll give my all in choosing one for you! 

(Time passes)

*Sound of flowers rustling and footsteps*

Akira: S-Sorry. I did try to choose it seriously, but somehow I ended up with this many of them…… 

I got tempted by the different flower here, and before I knew it, I’ve already picked so many that they’re barely spilling from my arms. 

With the sheer amount of flowers, you could hardly even call it a bouquet anymore. Even so, Faust carefully accepted the flowers from me with both of his hands, despite a dash of awkwardness and embarrassment in his movements.

Faust: Every one of them is beautiful. It’s like I’m standing in the middle of a flowerbed, there’s such a wonderful scent from it.

When Faust brought his nose closer to the bouquet, something snowy white started fluttering from above. 

Akira: Ah…… 

Faust: What’s going on? Petals are falling from the ceiling…… 

At the Carnival of Misting Petals, petals will begin to fall once the guest is satisfied to their heart’s content. It is the sign for us to return. Before long, our surroundings were enveloped in a mist. 

*Scene fades to white and location changes*

Faust: ……It seems we have returned. 

The door leading to the carnival has shut. However, the flowers I picked and the invitation remain safe and intact in Faust’s hands. 

Akira: (Even though I brought Faust out saying I’ll be his escort, I wonder if I managed to entertain him well……) 

Akira: Um, Faust. Did you have fun today……? 

Faust: Yeah. Thank you for the wonderful gift. 

Faust: Since this is the gift that the Sage specially picked for me, I’m thinking of showing it to the others afterwards.

His eyes, usually cool and composed, are now that of a warm smile. That soul of his that is always caring about someone, I wonder if it got the respite it deserves, even if it’s just a little?

Akira: Faust, thank you for taking out some time today for me. 

Akira: Once again, a very Happy Birthday to you!

====== Card Episode: Of The Same Mind ======

Akira: Faust, thank you so much for going along with me on your birthday. I really had lots of fun there. 

Faust: If anyone’s to be saying thanks here, it should be me though…… Oh well. Same goes for me, you have my thanks too. 

Akira: The other wizards celebrated your birthday with you too, right? What did they do for you? 

Faust: After I celebrated it with you, the Eastern Wizards came all the way to my room and delivered their presents and best wishes. 

Faust: Of course, I accepted every one of them with gratitude…… As thanks, they pestered me to tell them all about it. 

Akira: Tell them all about what? 

Faust: About what the “Carnival of Misting Petals” is like, how I spent my time with you there, and so forth. 

Faust: While I was answering them as they asked about this and that, Lennox and Figaro also joined in…… 

Akira: Everyone was gathering in your room? How merry……! 

Faust: Yeah. Thanks to that, the room became awfully cramped. 

Faust: I was wondering what they wanted, but it turns out, they just came to ask about the same things that the Eastern wizards did. Looks like everyone is plenty curious about this “Carnival of Misting Petals”. 

Akira: (……I think rather than the carnival itself, everyone was probably just interested in knowing whether you had fun or not.)

Faust: It’s not like I have any need to hide the truth, so I just told them as it is. 

Faust: Thanks to the Sage escorting me, I got to enjoy a really great time there. 

Akira: Though hearing you saying it in such a straightforward manner makes me happy, somehow, I feel kind of embarrassed…… 

Akira: But….. Thank you for allowing me to be your escort. I’m so glad that you enjoyed it!

====== Home Screen Voice ======

Faust: To me, a birthday was nothing more than yet another day that goes by. The longer you live, the fuzzier the meaning of the day you were born slowly becomes. However…… Lately, I think I feel a little bit differently about it now. Though I still can’t say whether that’s something good or bad.

====== Birthday Card Special Trait - [Crowea] ======

To the you who walks forward while bearing memories from a distant past, may you have blessings so aplenty that they could spill from your arms at any moment. May the soul that is always caring about someone at all times gets the respite it deserves.

Note: the traits are supposed to be from akira, not the fated pairs. Every trait so far references the card story and most importantly the pronouns and language tone is how akira speaks to the wizards (e.g. the trait for shino uses 'kimi', which is how akira addreses shino, while heathcliff calls shino 'omae'). like even literally all the exact words and phrases in the trait up here were from akira's thoughts and speeches during the story.
