Autistic spaces are getting so much more hostile towards people with low empathy, and it sucks

There was a subreddit I really liked, people were chill, and then there was a sudden influx of people making posts like ‘Autistic people have empathy! Saying we don’t makes us seem like monsters! Thats not a symptom!’ And people making posts explaining that no, actually, some of us do have low empathy got attacked and told they were wrong or ableist? And it sucks, because its just so hard to find a place to exist where you can be seen as not evil? I don’t know, it just hurts a lot to be told that

I think we should make love tonight

[magsalecs]

History, huh? Bet we could make some.

Leaving aside the romantic declarations and public adoration and bravery here - I love that Henry looks tired.

Kudos to make up, honestly; he looks like he's spent days and days not sleeping, stressed out, depressed, needing Alex to come and even then worried about the king.

I will now be imagining that he instantly falls asleep on Alex's shoulder in the car on the way back from Buckingham Palace.

"Damen’s eyes fixed on him, and looked nowhere else; his breathing was still noticeable, and his pulse rapid, but anger produced all the same effects." Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat Them staring tensly at each other is my favorite thing to draw, but it's also super hard to get it right.... Probably the last one for a few weeks, because i'm waiting for my friend to come back from vacation so we can dive into the 2nd and 3rd book. (I love love love the slow burn, but i also want to get to the kissy bits !)

"NATO is a defensive organization!! All member states agree to join it!" Yes, I'm sure bombing Yugoslavia and brutally overthrowing the Libyan government were both purely defensive actions.

'stockholm syndrome' being invented by a police negotiator to explain away why a hostage said police actions were making her and the other hostages feel unsafe is like. yeah

it took me a while to fully truly understand this but damen's first impression of laurent being that he's lazy and spoiled and generally useless was NOT him projecting. damen is very hardworking and responsible. is the thing. so he dislikes people who aren't and likes people who are therefore when he understands laurent is hardworking & responsible he starts liking him. damen thought laurent was lazy and spoiled because that's how laurent is presented by the regent + laurent plays along by default bc he's in an impossible situation. as most things about laurent's image, it's deliberate. fabricated. you see what i mean

(me on a first date) and what do you think of the inherent intimacy of surgery? have you considered the love someone must have to put their hands under your skin and hold the most grotesque parts of you and put them back together nicely? is anyone really closer to you than that? we all get uh a little enamored on the surgery table don't we haha. wait come back

[filthyprotozoan]

why do so many people think “grotesque” is a negative word. im saying it affectionately. sorry you cant love and enjoy the grotesque but i can. its a positive trait.

I wanna talk about this whole 48 seconds scene in Alex's bedroom. Have you realized that it was all taken using one long shot, no cuts, no edits, little to none music scoring background? Just them kissing, pushing, intense eye contact, making out, hips moving, hair grabbing, caressing each other's body, whilst delivering their lines. That's so fucking cinematic for me!

Sometimes in movies especially sexy scenes like this they tend to do a lot of cuts and connect pieces of clips together to make the scene work and to show how intense the emotions are of the characters. But Matthew just rolled the camera and allowed both actors to do their job and damn, Taylor and Nick outperformed!

This only prove they don't need those crazy editing to show their chemistry and evoke emotions from the viewers. They're just PERFECT!

PS. Sometimes I wonder how many times they rehearsed this whole scene off-cam to make it perfect during filming day. 🫠
