New neurodivergent socialization hack unlocked: do a puzzle together!

Went to visit some friends who are very neurodivergent tonight and as much as I love them and want to stay in touch, I've felt a little awkward socializing in the past. But tonight I went over and they were like "we're doing a puzzle. Care to join?" And I was like hell yeah. And we spent a very pleasant, not awkward at all few hours just hanging out. It was the best. I absolutely loved it.

Kill the awkwardness by doing puzzles with the pals

Shakespeare and Hathaway's relationship is so confusing to me because I can't tell if they loved each other or not. like shakespeare, my dude, my BROTHER, love of my life, what did you mean by second best bed?? was it a sign of affection or was it meant as a derogatory act? PLEASE THE HISTORY NERDS NEED TO KNOW

aaaand 2+11 for yarrow.. i may come back for more ehee

thank the lord i saved these in my drafts with the questions still attached. king of being all like "i wanna talk abt my ocs waugh" and then basically going radio silent when people actually ask me things

BUT thank you so much for asking these are fun ones hehe love talking about yarrow and his subtle issues

2. Is your OC a loner or a social butterfly? Are they satisfied with how they come across to other people?

yarrow's absolutely social, but i wouldn't quite call them a social butterfly? (mayhaps a bee) as a doctor, their job requires them to talk and interact with people almost constantly, and yarrow's general politeness/demeanor allows people to relax around them, so a lot of people have the impression that yarrow's the chatty, sweet doctor. and that's not incorrect either! he's good at small talk and very positively embedded in rappock's community not only as a doctor, but a teacher (he tries to teach people as much as he can abt first-aid sort of stuff to ease his own workload), and ally to the mining union (meetings are often hosted at his place bc it's not owned by hayden mining co.), people love and appreciate him, and he likes it that way! he likes being valuable and helpful

that all being said, it can get exhausting and they often do spend their evenings alone and quietly, usually reading or tinkering with things upstairs or maybe taking a walk if the day's dust has settled enough. yarrow's got actual friends they hang out with too, and i wouldn't say he isolates himself from people, but he is lonely in his way. he wasn't born in rappock and came from the (still unnamed) city, so he can't fully relate to everything the people around him have endured their whole lives. he's queer and not hiding it but not making it obvious either; he passes fine which is great for him, but also he's not a cis man when nearly everyone thinks he is. he reassures people that he's doing fine before he actually realizes he might not be doing so hot, and while he doesn't quite hide how the winters affect him, the feelings are heavier when he's alone. yarrow wants to be known, but also can't bring himself to reveal certain things, so he just kinda. perpetually hopes someone notices and asks, but people don't have the time to be nosy when they have families to feed and debts to pay.

and grimm's not some instant solution to all of that either. it obliterates yarrows trust in it at least twice, but it knows it fucked up there, which sets off this chain of events of it going "the only way to make this better with him is to be vulnerable" (correct), then yarrow sees that vulnerability and thinks "it's only fair to exchange vulnerability for vulnerability" (less correct, but it works out). it's basically like. yarrow can pretty readily break down grimm's walls after a certain point in their p2 relationship (with some exepctions), but grimm can't quite bring itself to break down yarrow's walls for fear of "harming" him, so it's up to yarrow to open himself up or else he's gonna be hiding behind pleasantries and the assurance that he's fine all his life. if that even makes sense orz

11 was answered here, but essentially he believes there is an inherent "good" to people as a whole, and that he must put kindness into the world to receive it in turn (this will have no consequences on his self-worth at all)

it's this lopsided, sort of transactional view of the world? he's not owed anything, but he must do everything to deserve anything. i kinda touch on that above too a bit

on another note though, he does believe in love! it's something that makes life worthwhile in all it's forms and people are all we have in this world and so much of what he does comes out of love for people and what he does. it's not an unstoppable force, but he's seen and knows what it can inspire people to do. he's so angry in p3 because the people and town he loves have been repeatedly stepped on as if they were nothing, so when there's a chance to punch back he's gonna take it and he's gonna hit hard. aim to wound and maybe things will bleed out from there.

thank you for the ask!!!! and your patience augh i feel like i always partially answer the question and then end up rambling about something half-related but i have fun doing it so maybe that's all that matters? hee hoo
