a minor headcanon that I will die defending is that reigen initially assumed that mob’s supposed “psychic powers” were just how he rationalized his autism to himself. like here’s an obviously autistic kid, one reigen clocks immediately because he’s, well, reigen, and he’s talking about extra sensory perception and having powers he can’t control, powers that are scary. obviously, he assumes, this is something the kid picked up from his parents, a way for him to rationalize his alienation from other children— that no, you’re not “different”, you’re special (not even going into the parents who think their autistic children are like, aliens) and the other kids can see that you’re special and so they treat you like you’re weird and creepy and they don’t invite you to play and they whisper behind your back but it’s fine, because one day they’ll see how special you really are. and adult autistic reigen arataka, who was also probably-definitely bullied as a child, decides to nip that thought in the bud and gives the whole spiel, that no, “psychic powers” (autism) don’t make you special, and yes, they do make you different, and that’s fine because everyone’s different, and at the end of the day you have agency and you get to decide the kind of person you’ll be, so choose to be a kind one, and he sees this kid hanging off his every word as he tells him the kind of stuff he wishes someone had told him when he was so little and alone, and he mentally pats himself on the back and hypes himself up for another cigarette.

and then the kid makes a teacup float in front of him and he’s like oh. damn. can you kill ghosts

thinking about how, as much as he thinks he's better than humans, the master's spent so much time with them after chasing the doctor around. he gets human references, he listens to human songs, watches human shows, and, even if it's for disguises, he lives as a human sometimes. honestly the doctor sometimes struggles with a lot of that

inspired by @where-does-the-heart-lie and given courage by @wolf-eared-fangirl and their own wonderful rendition of the asl kpop au.

i got inspired a whole lot by the notes and artworks from whery but also tried to make it my own by making it increasingly impossible realistically. one of those it’s a fanfic and i can make anything possible vibes.

all of these are just concept notes and ideas i was able to keep down for the past what? two months or so? there are a lot more wips and ideas, and i wanted to see if there was anyone who wanted to bump brains with me or was willing to indulge seeing my messy thoughts/notes.

i made law important because i am obsessed with not only asl but him too. no escape from the brain worms, really. even if he doesn’t really pop up in a lot of my current wips for this au…

i should make storyboards but my brain has latched to grps like exo or atz for like. clothes inspo. i have multiple concert wips that needed me to make an entire fake asl concert setlist so that was fun, considering how i ended up adding eng and jp songs… i cannot contain myself and have been repeatedly editing everything I have on this for months ,,,

Drawing turtle tots? Very fun!

Drawing a turtle tot, drawing turtle tots? Fun²!

(First scene from this animatic, but as a GIF. Because apparently, I just really like making GIFs. And a few more under the cut too, because why not? I may have a GIF problem, but the only victim is my productivity, so it's fiiiine)

I don't know real sword choreography, but Leo can be flashy and twirl it around like he's in the color guard if he wants to, right?

I imagine most of their arguments started because Raph was concerned, Leo either tried blowing him off or snapped back at him, and things just sort of escalated from there. Seeing these boys angry makes me sad. Donnie and Mikey probably felt that same way, too.

This was actually the first scene I drew. Sometimes, you just get a vision so strong in your head that you have to put it on paper (... or tablet?) immediately. This was that scene for me, and everything else sort of just started to fall in place around it.

Feels like people forget education is a privilege and a human right, that many disabled people dont have

disabled people who dont have access to education and had to drop out, or even wernt ever able to start education

often get told we are "privileged" that our parents "let" us not be in education, so far from the truth, we are so marginalised and underprivileged because we dont have access to education

Im not talking about people who dropped out at 16, or in college or whatever, im talking about those of us who dropped out before its allowed because we literally, can not go to school, or engage in education at home

at ages as young as 9, 7, 5!! so many disabled people are forced to leave education because we are too disabled to go to school, and even do home school, we aren't privileged, we are heavily marginalised.

We deserve education just like anyone else, we arent privileged or lucky for being excluded from education

Some of us could go to education, but the systems that are supposed to help us access our RIGHT to an education, are heavily flawed, and take months of our carers fighting for us, even years, so for those months and years we just have to wait, watch our peers get the education we deserve, just wait until we have the right provision to access an education.

Peoples reaction is either "your so lucky you could leave school when you were younger, i wish i could" (i did not choose this. I am not lucky.)

Or its "okay how are you going to get a job?? Fucntion in the real world??" Thats the point, i wont, thats the point, im not going to, and i cant, thats the point.

The Coven Gift Exchange

Agatha (from Lilia) - a pack of batteries, one of those hand crank flashlights, and a generator (a joke gift because of Agatha’s quest for “power”)

Alice (from Billy) - some cozy Animal Crossing style games to chill out with when life gets too hectic and/or when she can’t go out to do the activities she wants for whatever reason (Alice and Billy sometimes play together on such games too, such as having a multiplayer Stardew Valley save, visiting each other’s towns/islands in Animal Crossing, and hanging out together in Disney Dreamlight Valley)

Billy (from Agatha) - Tommy’s green jacket that somehow ended up in her house during the events of the Hex (no one knows why it didn’t disappear with everything else and Agatha claims she only gave it to Billy because she’s trying to clean up her house)

Jen (from Rio) - some rare potions ingredients Jen wanted that she’s randomly mentioned in conversations (Rio, being the Green Witch, was easily able to find such plants, herbs, and other sorts of things that few mortals would be able to acquire)

Lilia (from Jen) - a watch that not only tells the hour and minutes, but the day, month, and year so when Lilia gets stuck in the future she can get her bearings faster by knowing when she is (while it doesn’t help when she gets stuck in the past since she didn’t have the watch then, it still gives Lilia some peace of mind that she can navigate the future a little easier now and is very touched that Jen found such a thoughtful gift)

Rio (from Alice) - a DVD of Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever since the actress who voices Grumpy Cat in the movie looks and sounds an awful lot like Rio and the rest of The Coven teases her about it to no end (Rio pretends to be annoyed, but actually loves being associated with Grumpy Cat as she finds the meme hilarious)

Bonus:

Rio finally gets Alice that pack of Advil she asked for on the Road.

imagining this very funny totally amusing bit where dust (despite having a lot of pockets) makes horror carry a lighter for him (only because he can't be bothered to remember to bring one on him all the time) and horror keeps it in his head

but horror's a dick so everytime dust wants to smoke and he needs a light horror's always like "whats the password :3" (he actually said the emoticon i was the quotation marks) and dust has to guess. because horror changes it every time. and its never something predictable. and then he either just totally gives up on that cig or he has to forcefully dig into horror's head to get the lighter because horror's being a PRICK

now dust is shoulder deep into horror's eyesocket while horror is clawing and screaming and killer's just standing there behind them watching this unfold with that fuckass smile on his face (he can't get this type of entertainment anywhere else)

ive been thinking about this concept for WEEKS

[chillinglikeashilling]

Lord forgive me for paying attention to the YT comments section but I really want people who claim Annie was treated as a less 'desired love interest' than Mary to remind me which of them was told she didn't have any business being near them by both Micheal A and Michael B Jordan.

"Oh but Mary is shown to be the focus of desire and Annie isn't"

Are we forgetting that the first thing Stack tells Mary to do is kick rocks? That one of the first things we learned about their past relationship is that he left her in the middle of the night without any communication at all?

Yes Smoke also left Annie but that to me is representative of the fact that both twins always chose each other over either of their respective lovers, or anyone else in their lives. At the very least we know from the fact that he married her that Smoke considered Annie someone in his life, who was not Stack, that he could build a life with. She made him a mojo bag so it's not like Smoke left in the middle of the night.

And it's not like either twin is best friends with the other's lover but Annie clearly gets so much more consideration and respect from Stack than Mary does from Smoke. Smoke would clearly rather Stack and Mary never even have been together in the first place but even from (what was supposed to be) the opening night of the Juke we see Stack and Annie working together to manage Smoke and the business. Annie is being paid to cook there sure, but to me it's clear that she was always supposed to have a huge role in the business.

I'm not saying the movie is perfect or that people can't have their own opinions but even if we're appealing to the respectability argument- Annie is the only person in the main cast apart from Sammie with very little 'sin' on her record. For one thing she's the only woman of the three love interests who isn't cheating on her husband for whatever that's worth to folks in a movie called Sinners.

And even the comparison of the love scenes feels disingenuous to me. I've seen some people say Mary is the one shown to be desired between her and Stack while Smoke is shown to be desired by Annie and I want to remind everyone that again Mary is the person chasing Stack. He saw her that morning and said go back to your white husband. Annie and Smoke are reuniting as a couple that went through a horrible loss that can rip modern couples apart, without the additional stresses of being sharecroppers on top of that.

Additionally I don't think it's a coincidence that the love scene between Smoke and Annie happens before the sun goes down and the one between Stack and Mary - which I remind everyone leads to Stack dying!!- happens after nightfall and after Mary has already been turned by Rennick. Sammie and Stack both talk about that day before the sun went down being one of the best days of their life. Given the connection and parallels between the twins I would assume that the same would probably be true for Smoke.

So one of the best days of his life involved getting to reconnect with his wife. Getting to fold her into a business he and his brother were building not just for their own financial freedom and independence but also as a safe space for their community. A community Annie was a central part of.

One of those love scenes happened between a couple that had a real chance of reconciling if Rennick hadn't shown up and it's not the one featuring Mary.
