kids of color, you’re allowed to get a bitey when a white friend does something racist. literally 0 percent of people of color are obligated to be nice and palatable for white people. holding your tongue in the name of kindness doesn’t really do much in regards to stuff like this because white people are going to see you calling out their own racism as unkind anyways. white people, if a person of color comes off as aggressive while calling you out for racism, just fucking listen to them. they’re not coming from nowhere, and believe it or not: they know more about racism than you do! shocker, i know. just thickskin it, because it’s really not about you.

I’m craving autistic Virgil content and I may I humbly request some autistic Virgil content for my starved projecting soul? /j -exhausted autie

I haven't done anything in fucking ever and everyone keeps asking for it so lets go, ig! I think this is a human AU, really the whole aut!sides stuff is pretty nebulous.

Virgil's always found comfort in hoodies. This had caused some issues while he was still growing because he would get super attached to whatever hoodie he was currently on and extremely reluctant to stop wearing it, even when it no longer really fit him. Eventually, he got better at replacing them when they no longer fit but it was still a tricky process to get used to the new hoodie.

Virgil can't go to concerts. It's not necessarily the noise or the people--though those things certainly don't help--it's more the fact that concerts are the antithesis of how he experiences music. Music has be solely his; he doesn't even really give people song recommendations and he gets uncomfortable if people can hear what it is he's listening to (though luckily his noise cancelling headphones work pretty well both ways). He would like to be able to have that kind of experience, he thinks, but the idea of actually going makes him have to stim away the unease.

Virgil actually has hyper-empathy and it stresses him out 90% of the time. It's nice in theory, knowing so acutely when people are upset, but at the same time he's already on edge so much that other people's emotions on top of his is a hell of a lot to deal with. He generally avoids crowds and doesn't really like leaving the house too much, though he'll go out for important things, and when the others are upset sometimes he'll have to lock himself away in his room to avoid it rather than helping. He feels guilty about it, of course, but the others reassure him that it's fine to be overwhelmed and he should take time for himself first.

Virgil loves cats. They're soft and easy for him to understand, plus if you gain their trust they'll sometimes just lie on top of you and purr which is like the best kind of pressure stim. He had a cat growing up that he adored but he hasn't been able to get one since moving in with the others (cause Allergies). He will absolutely stop in the middle of street to try and pet a stray cat though, even when they have places to be. It just makes him happy, in a calm sort of way he doesn't usually feel.

Virgil does most of his socialising online, just because he finds it easier to communicate when he has time to think of replies and all that. Even when the others are home (and sometimes even in the same room as him) he prefers to text them or message them rather than speak to them out loud a lot of the time. This isn't always practical or necessary but it's often enough that the others have gotten used to it. When it's a Serious Conversation he's even more likely to want to type it out over talking and though that did frustrate Roman at first, it only took a quick explanation for him to understand why Virgil does it.

Do you have any autistic!Patton hcs you could share? ♡♡♡

okay, I’m trying my best to answer all these aut!sides asks, so let’s go!

Patton is pretty hyposensitive in terms of touch, rather than hypersensitive, which is why he's the most physically sensory seeking out of all of them. He is also, unfortunately, the clumsiest of all of them too, which has resulted more than a few times in Patton injuring himself and not even noticing. Thankfully, it's never been anything major but on occasion he has had to replace some clothes because he bled on them accidentally.

Patton is usually pretty careful about social rules. Though a lot of it doesn’t come completely naturally to him (he doesn’t understand why allistic people seem to talk in circles sometimes and why they don’t just say what they mean), he has hyper-empathy so peacekeeping often feels almost more a necessity than a desire.

He does forget himself, sometimes, if he’s distracted or particularly stressed, but he’s become really good at smoothing things over in the event that he does.

Patton has a really good short-term memory for spoken word. It shocked the others quite a bit when they first realised but Patton has the uncanny ability to just quote entire swaths of conversation, word-for-word.

Now, Patton has not always processed these conversations as actual things that have occurred and require him to respond in some sort of way—because, honestly, sometimes he’s just physically present and mentally somewhere entirely different—but assuming that he heard everything correctly he can just kind of parrot it back.

That ties into his echolalia quite a bit actually. His brain isn’t very good at filtering out other people’s discussions or background noises and he often finds himself mimicking bits of conversations he was Not a part of or asking himself questions that were directed at someone else.

People are not generally all that fond of being mimicked, he’s found, because it makes them feel like they’re being mocked, so he tries to keep his voice low in public whenever possible.

Patton: when you work at lush and a customer comes in and bites the soap because they think it’s cheese…..this happens way more frequently than you think.

Roman: if you stopped literally presenting soap as deli food maybe this wouldn’t happen.

Virgil: who goes into a bath store and thinks something covered in glitter is cheese?

Logan: who goes to the store and just takes a bite from the cheese.
