one of my beloved friends (very autism) was in.. not denial but ignorance sounds mean. but that abt themself last time you brought up the raads r test so i sent it to the gc (full of autism) and they were like psh. fake test no one could get below 100. they know now but i think about it so much
The thing is. When you take the autism test. And you see your score is in the 100 to 160 range. You think. Oh this is probably the middle? Middle autism. Tinge of autism. Your relatives calling you bright but shy autism. Just a whiff of autism. And then you see the score ranges. And you go. This test is lying to me there is absolutely no way the majority of people score under 65. The 65 number is such a low cutoff and so many of these experiences are clearly universal a score under 65 is something they made up in a lab. People who score under 65 are obviously scoring just under that mark from 59 to 64 and they’re also obviously lying or purposely misrepresenting their experiences as less severe than they are. And then you find out there are real people who get a 20 or 30 or 7 on it. And you go. Ah
There’s something beautifully tangible about the way that Kit and Jade cuddle in that little scene on the shattered sea. How well they communicate how good it feels to them. How they fit together, how close they feel, cuddled together like that, the way it’s Kit holding Jade, her knight, and how Jade looks, how relaxed, how blissful, just being held, eyes closed. Close enough for Kit to feel Jade’s breaths rumbling through her, deep and rhythmic. Jade’s head tucked under Kit’s chin. Her weight a reassuring comfort. Just enjoying the simple closeness
the frozen ii ending makes me soooooo angry like the whole POINT of frozen i was that elsa learned that she could rule arendelle with her powers and with anna by her side!!! literally in the bway musical she sings ‘i know i’ll never see that sunny day / when this trial is finally through / and it can just be me and you’ like. elsa WANTS to stay with anna
and they try and explain this somewhat in into the unknown, with the ‘who knows deep down i’m not where i’m meant to be’ but. WHY isn’t she where she’s meant to be. all of the first film was her learning that she belonged in arendelle and her powers/herself wasn’t something to be afraid of. why isn’t she meant to be with her family? with her sister who’s been desperate to reconnect with her? why doesn’t she belong where people readily love her and accept her and want the best for her?
and then, what about anna? there is no mention of her wanting/being ready to be queen in either two films. we don’t even see the offer on screen; we don’t get the sisters’ quiet, vulnerable conversation where elsa admits to wanting to live with the rest of the nature spirits and anna offers to take her place as queen. we don’t see anna begging elsa to stay in the forest because she can rule if elsa’s happier there. we never see their dialogue. it’s just so sudden. is anna once again just going along with what her sister wants? is elsa isolating herself all over again? we just don’t know. they both seem happy, but there’s barely any indication that it’ll lead up to that point.
it just makes no sense for either of their arcs, or their previous wants/needs. if they were meant to stay together, why separate them again? they just got each other back. and now they’re alone again.
i’m sooooooo normal about the god of war series. so incredibly normal i liked it a normal amount and would be so chill talking about it. don’t worry about the sign
I saw a post the other day where OP was like “why don’t girls ever get their periods in fiction” and someone had replied to it “well, no one farts or goes to the bathroom or whatever in fiction either, we just don’t bring those things up unless they’re what the story is about”
And while I totally get what they were trying to say (obviously we can assume a character goes to the bathroom without having to be told), I also think the attitude of “those things shouldn’t exist in fiction unless it’s a Big Deal” is something that should be challenged
People go to the bathroom. People fart. People have periods. Those things affect their lives in all sorts of ways every day—why should they not also affect fictional characters? It’s not hard to find ways to weave those things into the plot without doing anything other than making your characters feel more grounded and relatable and human.
You’re writing a story about a girl whose the object of some vampire’s affection/bloodlust?How does the fact that she starts bleeding once a month affect their relationship? Your character is taking his boyfriend out for ice cream? Have him remind them to take their lactaid pills. Need some characters to have a conversation without a person who’s staying with them? Have that person go to the bathroom
It can be really helpful to the flow of your story to remember that your characters need to eat and drink and pee at regular intervals. Characters on a long drive have to stop on occasion: have those stops be fun!!! Let them move the story forward!!!!!
And remember that people are gross and awkward sometimes. Let them burp in the middle of what would have been a romantic moment! Making these things taboo in fiction only increases people’s discomfort and shame about their own bodily functions
ik aemon primarily raising mance exists SOLELY as my own headcanon but the idea of aemon saying kill the boy let the man be born to egg and then mance and then jon is making me cuckoo bananas in ways i did not think possible.
More titan luz time!! I got more ideas for how stuff works
Starting off right in the middle of the finale, after kings dad leaves her body instead of goin back to full human she’s still a titan but “powered down”. Slightly longer hair, and lil baby fangs an horns immediately apparent with the bones and fluff still there too
Over the next few years her horns would continue growing and so would she. Tall luz supremacy. She’s like a full head and a half taller than amity by the king-ceañera. Unlike king who’ll get island sized she caps out around the height kings dad showed themselves to her as.
(My brain keept spinning the thought ‘hmm what about when she gets her adult fangs’, yet more for the brainworms to feast on>:3)
