Let's play a game! You tell me everything you dislike about me and want me to change! Don't be frightened, I don't want your sympathy. Enough of your southern hospitality, be frank with me, for once. Tell me what your heart says. Insult me if you so wish, or don't, and tell me plainly what you need me to change!

Thinking about the way Phineas and Ferb made platypus trills at each other in Interview with a Platypus. Ferb getting to non-verbally joke with his brother. Phineas calling Ferb a quiet animal like it's a awesome thing to be. And Ferb just reacts by making the trill sound again. He calls him quiet and it he doesn't mean it as an insult at all.

It makes me think that when Ferb isn't verbal he just makes noises instead to express himself. Because Phineas asked him a question and Ferb shrugged quietly, so instead he encourages Ferb to make platypus noises with him istead. Which could be a fun stim they've done together before.

Ferb being on the spectrum just makes so much sense

a handprint made in concrete is just the image of a hand, it’s not the real thing. or, it’s the absence of a hand, more than anything, the negative space. the casing around where it should be. it’s an indent that was made from something real - that could not have existed without something real - but it’s not the real thing, it’s just trying to be. maybe it’s not even trying. you put your hand there with your mother and the concrete remembers, and the handprint doesn’t even know why it exists, it just does. if we can make copies and not-things from real things in the world, who’s the say the world couldn’t do that itself? does it even need to know why?

was joking with @jack-fruit about filbrick and caryn using "you're older" to get the twins to do what they're told, making it so neither of them actually know who's older

if you are a parent, or may become one, or you are otherwise likely to arrive in the situation of caring for a child while they eat, promise me this: if a child doesn't like a certain food or food group, you will ask them WHY. and specifically, you will pay attention to either confirming or ruling out "it makes my mouth itch" or "it makes my stomach hurt," both of which are medically important info that children may not provide unprompted. which i know because this PSA has been brought to you by "i spent my entire childhood and much of my early teens eating peas and lentils while wondering why everyone else liked the Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation so much, like were they a bunch of legume masochists or something, before i finally realized that Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation was in fact a sinister demon appearing only to me, and her true demonic name was: Legume Allergy"

since becoming a barista i have noticed a few very distinct typologies among my customers. such as:

the woke left: young and fashionable. visible tattoos. often enjoys matcha, lavender flavoring, oat milk, and cold foam. pretty decent customers.

sweet old man: drinks very sweet iced lattes, pays in cash, puts all of his change in the tip jar. sometimes orders hot coffee and i get scared that his shaky old man hands will spill it and he'll get burned but that has not yet happened and god willing never shall.

evil old man: only wants drip coffee and declares it ridiculous that any other form of coffee exists. some variants only want americanos and these variants are even scarier. watch out.

sweet old woman: might need her daughter's help to order but is very bubbly and open to trying new things. compliments baristas freely and frequently.

evil old woman: does not want coffee and only wants sweet tea or soda. will not tip even if she spends three hours in the shop repeatedly asking baristas to fetch things for her.

errand husband: either stiltedly recites an order to you or shows you the order in their texts/notes app. needs to step out of line and make a phone call if you ask any follow-up questions.

grindset girlie: always wearing scrubs, an apron, and/or a name tag. orders the exact same thing every day and knows the exact change she'll need to pay for it. her regular order is both extremely caffeinated and extremely sweet.

#mamabear: is actively wrangling two to four children while ordering. order changes repeatedly because the children cannot decide if they want a muffin or a cookie or apple juice or chocolate milk etc. for some reason these women are always wearing an article of clothing or carrying some personalized item that says "mama" on it.

schoolchildren: band of two to eight adolescents hanging out after school. extremely indecisive but generally quite polite and tip well.

amnesiac in love: grown adult who needs their partner to tell them what they like. gets asked a question about their own preferences and turns to their partner to answer for them. generally acts like a shy child looking to their guardian for behavioral cues if you try to interact with them and only wants to talk to mommy i mean their wife.

this of course is not an exhaustive list but those are just some of the most consistent Types i get. ok bye xoxo

[cervidaemailboxes]

I will admit I am the first one, even if I have no tats and style is foreign to me, but lavender and matcha.. hahh.. I will die for that stuff! I guess that's me. I SHOULD be one of the schoolchildren, yet I'm antisocial when it comes to going into my favorite coffee shop (I'm a creature of habit. I go there whenever I'm free to do schoolwork, the year is over so that means I've gotta create my own curriculum.) in terms of going with others. I like to go ALONE. Which is nice cause it means the baristas and I can chat while ordering! They're so cool!!!

For a second I didn’t realize it meant “high” as in a stoner–I thought “High Geologist” was like a rank of geologist or something and he was insulted you would challenge him to naming stones

IT IS HE THE HIGH GEOLOGIST APPEARING ON YOUR DASH YET AGAIN

[fforsythiaaa]

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

[creatingblackcharacters]

hi ice! I’m trying to race swap a current favorite character into a Black man, and google isn’t doing me any favors- if a Black person with short hair and 4b texture was left in a coma for four to five years with no hair care, what would happen to his hair? he’s gonna shave it off, but im not sure how to find reference pics for this as I don’t know what will happen LOL. idk if you’re still taking art questions due to the writing contest so feel free to ignore

Tbh, unless someone is coming in over the years to take care of his hair, or one of the caretakers is a really kind person and does it, odds are the hospital is gonna shave it off before he wakes up anyway 😅

But research "matted afro hair" on YouTube and it'll give you an idea of what it would look like untouched.

[redstonedust]

i admit i am getting wary whenever people vaguepost about a fandom being 'full of drama' because a lot of people seem to use 'drama' as a synonym for like. discussions of bigotry and bias in media. which is so very much not the same thing and it hurts my head to see it conflated with shipping wars and headcanon discourse.

[creatingblackcharacters]

Every time someone says "I don't pay attention to fandom drama" and the "drama" is a Black or brown person getting dogpiled for wanted to be treated with respect. But then turn around and go "I didn't know that this sort of thing was happening!" Well you didn't care to look, either 😬
