Guys, I can promise you that a bunch of the time you’re not even saying the wrong thing or missing a social cue, some people are just jerks or even just feeling contrary at the moment.

[bananacockroach]

Like I genuinely know more Neurodivergent people who follow the strict regime of what society views as acceptable because they’re worried they’re gonna be seen and treated as rude or insensitive. So many neurotypicals just don’t give a shit. They will flip the script at the drop of a hat if they feel like they’re not getting their way, or that youre not checking their boxes of what they view as acceptable. And usually that’s a preconceived notion that happened before you even opened your mouth.

Apparently some people still need to hear this so: using an 'ai checker' is still using ai. If you are feeding someone's fic to one of these checkers, you will still not be sure their fic is ai because they are not 100% accurate, but you can be 100% sure that you are using ai. For fic. Furthermore you are doing the work of an ai scraper for them. You are, personally, feeding the machine. There is no actual excuse for using an ai checker on fanfic as a hobby. YOU are the problem.

If you think a fic is ai, mute it and move on. That's it. That's all you do.

You know what I miss the most about pre-1990s fantasy? Novels with titled chapters and tables of contents. I know you still get them now and again, but before the 90s it was common practice, and you wouldn't believe how much easier it is to discuss shit when you've got named episodes to go on.

common advice for social anxiety is to tell yourself "people aren't going to think less of you just because you said something a bit daft" but the thing is. sometimes they will. and you just have to learn to be cool with that and to treat it as a dnd random encounter rather than letting it ruin your whole day

[beaft]

recent example. lady at my careers appointment had a post-it with her name on it stuck to the monitor, so i introduced myself by saying "hello, i'm eliot! you must be [name], it's nice to meet you!" and she stared at me as if i was the stupidest person alive and said icily, "yeah, i'm [name]. congratulations, you can read."

in bygone times this would have reduced me to a sort of quivering blancmange. thankfully i am now in a place where i was able to pull back, calmly evaluate this interaction, and say to myself "this woman should probably not be working in a customer-facing job"

I like to think that jewelry is like a big thing for Eridians. Like they wear them on special occasions and they’re passed down or you give them to someone who really means a lot to you.

Cue Grace explaining friendship bracelets to Simon.

Simon’s not sure how their conversation got to that but apparently on earth you make bracelets for your best friend to signify that you’re best friends. They’re normally made from beads and cheap string with little charms in shapes like hearts and stars. Easy to break but they do look nice from what Grace has showed him.

So he decides to make one for Adrian.

He managed to find some smooth rocks and Rocky made him some paint and a small chain made from xenonite so the bracelet doesn’t burn in the outside atmosphere. He managed to drill a hole through the smooth rocks, paint some of the dark green and blue, pull the chain through, and wielded the end pieces together.

The next day as Simon and Adrian were talking in the green house, Adrian had their own little spot where they keep Eridian plants that would die in Simon’s atmosphere, when Simon shyly hands Adrian the friendship bracelet. Adrian is a bit confused at first until Simon tells them what it is and how he made it from materials that will hold up when they wear it.

Adrian starts crying so hard.

Simon is freaking out thinking that maybe he upset them in a way, like maybe this was offensive to Erdians, until Adrian just reassures him that they are very happy happy happy. They immediately put it on then start crying about how Simon was also considerate about how big they were and that the bracket also fits and that the both of them were best friends.

Adrian fucking flaunts the shit out of that bracelet.

‘Oh this? Just yknow, a bracelet my pebble made me to show that he loves me. Yeah it’s not a big deal or anything. Oh what’s that? You don’t have one? Couldn’t be me, my pebble loves me. Made it so it won’t burn in this atmosphere and everything. Yeah he put a ton of thought into it. Even has this odd shape on it called a star. Yeah I know that’s not what stars look like but he tried his best! It’s beautiful! You’re just jealous!’

Rocky then starts hounding Grace about wanting one.

‘Why no make Rocky best friend bracelet question? No care for Rocky question? Grace Rocky save stars and this all Rocky get question? Bad Grace. Bad bad bad.’

[fancycake]

no but you don’t understand most movies would have had them part ways at the end and go home and save their respective planets and at most we’d get the hint of a sequel where they get to see each other again but!! instead!!! Grace went back to save Rocky!! he chose to be brave for one (1) other person!!! they even gave us the sci-fi equivalent of the romcom trope where the protagonist runs through an airport to catch their love interest before they leave!!!! do you understand yet do you uNDERSTAND YET DO YOU UNDERSTA
