reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point
We can all agree that the Legends are mostly ND right? Here's some of my personal headcanons of Legends that may be autistic. Under a read more because I have many thoughts.
Bangalore - Her special interests are weaponry and warfare, which lends to why she's so interested in relaying information on the weapons she pings. She is a much less verbal person than some of her peers, and has a fairly flat affect. I believe she has alexithymia, which may have contributed to her relationship fallout with Loba.
Bloodhound - They relate to animals better than people, like their ravens, and take a special interest in hunting. Being in nature is regulating to them. I feel like they'd be avoidant of strong tastes, and would prefer deep pressure from those they trust. They're not terribly verbal, but will stim by making bird calls. They also stim by petting Artur and their other bird. (I named her Faida lol)
Catalyst - With a considerably flatter aspect than some, she is much more verbal than the prior two Legends. That doesn't stop her from being awkward in conversation. She carries a few worry stones in her pocket to stim with. She also shuffles her tarot deck to stim. She has a strong sense of justice, and devotes her time to causes that she deems worthy.
Crypto - Much like Hound and Bangalore, he is less verbal than many of the other Legends. He prefers to be alone, is a night owl, and tends to be understimulated rather than overstimulated. Because of this, he seeks out strong flavors, loud music, and fabrics that may be stiffer or scratchier. His favorite stims would be the sound of a keyboard clicking and rocking his desk chair back and forth.
Loba - Loba is a bit of an outlier on the list, as she's AuDHD rather than strictly autistic. She stims by playing with parts of Rev that she's collected after dismantling him, finding regulation in revenge. She's easily distractable, but needs the routine in order to not completely meltdown. She is not great at reading social cues, has a hard time making friends, and is often cited as being narcissistic and overly sensitive, diagnoses often given to women where autism is overlooked. Edit: thank you @the-mechanica for reminding me that Loba stims with her hair and fan too.
Vantage - Vantage loves infodumping about everything and anything, especially about bats or other animals. She doesn't get people, she's pushy, and she's entirely inquisitive. She would love stimming by rocking back and forth on her heels, and by petting Echo. Unlike Hound, who also shares an interest in animals and hunting, Vantage seeks people out, trying to make friends with everyone she can. She is very verbal and has a great memory.

It's important to note that my headcanons are not indicative of all autistic people. Autism exists on a spectrum, after all. These are just my thoughts. Let me know what you think!
I have been trying to say something for ten minutes. And all I have to say is fuck all of you. Fuck you Trumpies - I hope you get effected by everything you voted for - fuck you white leftists that didn't vote because you expected Kamala to win - I hope the moral high ground and convenience was worth it - fuck everyone who just decided to be complacent, and most of all, Fuck You Donald.
this is my little world in which i ignore everything regarding my personal life, however in regards to recent events, and someone who has a large following in which most of my demographic is in the states, i have decided to speak up.
the only thing america HATES more than a rapist is a women.
supporting a convicted felon OVER a women is fucking insane.
i don’t care what your religion is. separation of church and state, jesus wasn’t on the god damn ballot.
i’m so incredibly heartbroken for all the women AND people of color AND people apart of the lgbtq+ community.
i urge citizens and people who are able to voice their opinions and vote to do their PROPER research. trump’s economy when he was serving his first term was what some people believed to be a good one because it is what OBAMA built. biden’s economy was shitty BECAUSE it was what trump left.
34 felonies, 43 sexual assault allegations, impeachment twice, 1 conviction, and 2 pending cases. y’all really voted for a man like this, all because you wanted better gas prices and no taxes ???? y’all voted for this over basic human rights ???
i will never understand how so many people saw racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, being an abuser and decided that those things — PURE HATRED MIND YOU, were not MAJOR deal breakers.
fuck you all who voted against my rights, who voted against the rights of ANYONE who has EVER been discriminated against, and most of all, fuck trump.
do you guys ever feel like an outcast even in a group full of outcasts. like i'm autistic and even in groups full of neurodivergent people i'm still excluded sometimes. i don't understand why
he’s been made a victim of Love and Affection
Curious how many K-pop fans are neurodivergent because it is truly my most neurodivergent hobby. Mamamoo is my special interest. I know all their songs, their names, facts about them. I like finding new groups and learning their names and facts about them. The music makes me happy. The dances are a huge stim for me. The songs being in another language means I can spend time translating the lyrics and discovering the cultural references I missed. Not understanding the lyrics also makes me interact with the music differently. I’m more focused on the beat, the musicality, the emotions in their voices. And there’s a community of other people who like all this stuff too and I can interact with them. Idk K-pop just scratches my brain in a way other music can’t.
It's not just erasure of queer characters. It's disrespect of Wilde's memory in the worst way. Oscar Wilde went to JAIL for being gay and his book was used as evidence against him. This was his only novel and they censored it to make it less queer even back then.
This is a crime.
Anyway boycott the modern adaptation of Dorian Gray.
Goth Lit fandom: Now that we're in a place culturally where we can portray gay relationships without going to prison for two years, and now that popular media has started to tackle bi and gay characters being toxic in relationships, surely we can make Dorian Gray's subtext into text. We can adapt it as a book about a man loving another man so much that he captures his likeness and his soul. We can show Dorian use his beauty and appeal to manipulate men like he did in the book. We can tell this as a tragic story of an artist falling for a man who is much more toxic than he seems.
Netflix: Or, hear us out, siblings?
cas is truly the character of all time to me. he’s an angel. he’s autistic. he’s a father. he’s a cunt. he’s serving cunt. he’s throwing his phone in the ocean. he’s sacrificing himself at the drop of a hat. he’s making bad unilateral decisions. he was one of heaven’s best soldiers. he killed like half his species. he broke out of heaven’s control and became the embodiment of free will. he’s defying god’s plan. he’s head over heels in love with a guy who dresses like a lumberjack. his dad hates him. he’s deploying the tactical poor little meow meow eyes to throw his brother in law under the bus. he’s been lobotomized dozens of times. he’s wearing a trenchcoat!
