outfit deconstruction
Edwin Payne's got a whole look going for him, and I love that for him. This is me layering him up and down to have a better idea of how the outfit fits together.
im re-watching since i binged the whole series in two nights the first time and im so entertained by the port townsend "office" setup.
edwin is sitting very properly behind their 'desk', which is an ironing board. from an earlier shot he seems to have arranged the items on the desk pretty carefully but as far as i can tell they're just random knickknacks. he's not even taking notes.
crystal is the one taking notes, and sitting normally in a real chair.
niko starts out sitting somewhat normally on the end table in the back, but during some of the smash cuts she's sort of... perching.
my favorite bit is that since it's an ironing board, charles can't do his normal half-sit on the side of the desk thing (or could he? the logistics of ghost weight escape me). so they've gotten a step stool and put it in the exact position where it will look like he's sitting the way he does in the actual office.
it's giving 'kids playing make-believe office with household objects' and i love it so much.
The chaotix team is so funny to me cause they’re just like “yep this is our detective agency and we’re coworkers/friends Vector, Espio, and Charmy Bee. Yes he’s like 6, yes he works here too”
Like brother pls that isn’t just your coworker (as much as he puts in the work) that is the child you are co-parenting together.
Thought I would be over them in a week but I've completely lost it

the neurodivergent experience:
20% of the time: wowwieee!!! i love my passions and interests!!!!! they make me so happy i want to jump up and down!!!!! weee!!!!!!! :3333333333
80% of the time: this mind is a prison
the thing that always gets me ESPECIALLY about autistic representation in media is that we are universally portrayed as happy-go-lucky, whimsical children, completely oblivious to the fact that the world constantly judges and scorns and HATES us.
We notice. I noticed. The reason I am as messed up as I am today is because i spent 20 LONG years in an environment where every day i was subjected to that. To noticing.
what an absolutely neurotypical view of us. Coddling themselves, getting to act like the way they treat us is fine because we don't understand that our peers dont respect us. Why would we? We're so subhuman to them, it's like asking if your cat notices you playfully insulting it.
Every autistic person I've ever met is on some level bitter and angry and TRAUMATIZED at their upbringing. Of having to go through school as the laughing stock, as the weirdo with no friends who no one wants to talk to, as the animal in the corner you can make do cheap tricks so they can experience some Simulacra of what genuine human connection is.
Now tell me, does it sound like I didn't notice?
