– I thought I was alone.
– You’re not alone. Erik, you’re not alone.
X-Men: First Class (2011) dir. Matthew Vaughn
Mate me to. I was happy stimming at his hops but also really wanted to help him feel better.
The autism in Jamie Tartt in todays episode was showing!
The stimming when he was upset. The flapping his hands. Not knowing how he’s feeling or why. The chewing on his hoodie strings. The need for comfort from people he trusts. All of it.
It’s just very clear this episode. And I kinda love it. It just furthers my head cannon.
i truly believe that there's a reason they emphasize the lyric "if I only could, I'd make a deal with God, and I'd get him to swap our places" at the end of the trailer.... there will be a sacrifice to save everyone
Creative writing prof: You’re in control. You’re the puppet master. You control these characters - what they do, what they say, what they think-
Every writer I know: My characters stopped listening to me and now I’m 8272836 words in to a plot that went of the rails on page 3
buddie scene that keeps me up at night: the hospital convo from fight or flight. we have no idea HOW eddie found out buck tried the cellphone trick with chimney, but his response was to…go directly to buck? let him know he understood the thought process and probably would’ve done the same? be a silent source of support in case athena had more to say? and can we take a moment to reflect on eddie telling buck that there’s one thing different about maddie and doug’s situation this time? that she’s not in it alone because she has buck looking for her? it’s “no matter how bad it got…i always had you” before maddie ever said it. what the fuck, guys. what the fuck.
So let's talk about asexuality! This is an introduction trying to cover as much as possible in a little format, so its mostly surface level stuff. You're gonna have to dig on your own :P
For more information, I recommend checking out aceweek.org or acesandaros.org ! You can also read up on ace history through the Asexual Manifesto by Lisa Orlando !

Teacher: I changed the due date for that project I assigned you all, it's due tomorrow!
Class: *screams*
Teacher: Got you! April fools!
Rin: Haha, who needs April Fools when your entire life is one big, sick joke!
Rin: ...
Rin: ...I'm about to start crying.
Suguro: Shit, dude. C'mere.
Rin, in Suguro's arms: I was raised in a monastery, Suguro. A monastery! The son of Satan, raised in a monastery! My LAST NAME is a play on the word "demon" in Japanese!
Rin, now sobbing: IT'S ONE HUGE FUCKING JOKE WITHOUT A PUNCHLINE
- It’s really good to see you. - It’s good to see you.
If you and your partner practice frequent, non-sexual consent, your relationship will be healthier and easier.
“Are you comfortable with me ranting about my day for a few minutes?”
“Oh, this is your poetry? Would it be okay if I read it?”
“Do you mind if I use your phone for a few minutes?”
“Wow, your meal looks awesome. Could I try some?”
It will save a lot of grief, especially in a developing relationship. Eventually, with consistent “yes’s” and “no’s” you can figure out more permanent boundaries and guidelines.
“I need to ask before ranting about my day or taking their food, but my partner is okay with me using their phone whenever. However, my partner does not like me reading their poetry unless they offer first.”
“One phrase… and he managed to destroy all the problems I’ve been carrying.”
