I cannot stop thinking about Episode 5 of TADC because Ragatha is, however unintentionally, one of the best examples of how isolating and difficult it is to interact with the world as an autistic person I have ever seen. To the point it genuinely makes me sad to think about her. I need to make a post expanding on this at some point but rn just. The way everyone assumes there’s some sinister hidden meaning to everything she does and says but she’s literally just trying to be nice and she doesn’t understand why it’s not working. The way she tries so hard to make connections but it constantly falls flat, she says things that hurt without realising how or why. She follows the rules she’s been taught will make her friends — she’s kind, she’s forgiving, she’s accepting and apologetic when she messes up, but for some reason it’s just not working. She tries to mimic other people, she tries to laugh at past experiences, tries to open up about her past like everyone else is doing, but now everyone’s uncomfortable and looking at her like she’s crazy and she doesn’t get it!! She doesn’t get it!!! Jax is a jerk and he’s mean to everyone but for some reason Pomni likes him and she doesn’t get it, she doesn’t understand! Pomni tells her it’s okay to be a jerk sometimes but Ragatha doesn’t like being mean, she wants to be nice to people, but she does it anyway, she gets mean like Jax and Zooble do but now Pomni’s looking at her like she’s done something wrong but she just did what she asked her to!! She doesn’t get it!! At the end of the episode everyone goes off into their groups and Ragatha is left alone, after having tried so hard to make friends and fit in and make people like her, she’s still alone, and everyone thinks she’s weird and unapproachable and she just has to give up and accept that she is inherently unloveable. Her evil alter ego tells her she’s going to die alone and nobody loves her and the only thing she corrects her on is the fact that they can’t die here. The few that might like her when she’s around don’t miss her when she’s gone, because there’s nothing to miss. Ragatha has spent her whole life systematically stripping away everything that makes her different and unlikeable in order to make herself more palatable to others, and in the process she has made herself a personalitiless blank slate with no unique identity for others to latch onto and appreciate. She has nothing to add to any conversation because she’s too afraid of being disliked to have a memorable personality beyond being generally polite and nice. And just. God. Someone get this girl some noise cancelling headphones and a therapist on speed dial, being this good of a representation of what it’s like to be autistic, especially to be an autistic person with trauma, is not good for the soul. That final shot just destroys me right in the heart. My poor girl.

Genuinely surprised by how many people not only successfully predicted that Queenie was Kinger's wife, but predicted that his love of insects originated with her and/or was strengthened by her. Well done folks.

I love how pretty Ragatha looks in darker lighting than all the brightness in the circus . She is literally so pretty like LOOK AT HER !!

She looks really nice in this lighting and I'm gay dhfjdjdjdjsjjsj

I just realized that 2 of the pieces that Zooble switched on themselves had black on them and that the reason they might have done that is bc of the funeral service they held for Kaufmo. And if that is the reason why they switched those pieces, I think that that's a very nice detail that was added <3

Thinking about making a tadc band au...

I just might do it

[sockatoothewafflebird]

the urge to make a playlist full of songs that fit my favorite characters. is unending and all-consuming.

petra's (minecraft story mode) playlist is ever-growing. gabbro from outer wilds has a playlist barely a week old but somehow already over a hundred songs long. monika from ddlc hasn't had a listen in a while, but her playlist is always there if i'm feeling... unreal. or ragatha, for similar reasons. or maybe i could make one for nicole from until then...... oh boy fictional characters really do change the way you see music in a permanent and huge impactful way don't they

It's CRAZY that the Youtube short I made for my tadc video is getting almost the same amount of views of the original one. I was just trying to promote my silly little video 😭

As a society we're really losing our attention span. I wasn't expecting my video to get any views (it did a little) but I'm still surprised about the short

Kinger feels like the type of guy to unironically say "well, I never!" if he got offended by something
