TAKE A LOOK AT THESE HANDS @kilhara - Tumblr Blog

Posts

Just posting a little update for y'all. Once again, I'm dipping out to take a break from posting on tumblr/social media for a while. I'm really trying to challenge my ass to finish this G-Man fic by the end of October (lowkey praying I'll have it finished by then). I think I'm finally figuring out that the less i spread myself out on other things, the more brain power I have to properly get stuck in the writing zone. Sorta gotta go into hermit writer mode. I guess that's just how my brain works lol.

I'll be coming back and will be active here again when I've finished and posted the fic on Ao3, though. I thought I'd have it finished in September, but I've been busy/stressed lately, and once again... the fic got way outta hand because there's more ideas I thought of to write. So... sorry for the wait on this thing lmao. But, yeah... take my last post as a little parting gift to enjoy while I'm away :)

I'll see ya when I see ya.

See the animal in his cage that you built

Are you sure what side you're on?

Better not look him too closely in the eye

Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?

thanks to you I have a new-found, uh, "interest" in the gman that I don't know how to deal with ( > _ < ) your impact...

Welcome to the club, hun. The only way I've found that eases the terrible yearning for this sinister bastard is to create more G-Man content lmao.

I HOPE ITS OK TO ADD ON?? but im autistic and i love love loooove gman so i tend to hc him as autistic too as a way to project but. Yea most of the time when i see it from others i have to do a double take bc seeing an autistic hc for an alien character feels off based on how autism is viewed as a whole. it can be done well i just think it needs to be done carefully, also from autistic ppl ourselves its obviously ok as long as ppl realize why someone could be iffy with it :) hope it makes sense tldr autistic gman is cool as long as done well

Yes! This is pretty much what I think on the subject. I think it's awesome that autistic people can find comfort in projecting onto G-Man like that. But yeah, since I'm not autistic, I don't exactly feel like it would be entirely appropriate for me to hc him as autistic, since at the end of the day, I know I'm not versed enough about autism to do that. Like, as you say, it just kinda feels off, especially if it's not done carefully and the person with that headcanon isn't autistic themselves. But, hell yeah, autistic G-Man goes hard, and I ADORE the renditions of him that other autistic people on here have created ;—;

G's SO: Look, if you stop trying to plot how to eat that flower, when we get home I'll set up the bouncy wall feather cat toy.

G, stewing: ...

- MF

LMAO. Giving G-Man the enrichment he needs so he doesn't go wacky. Jesus... I just have this dumb image of you discovering that he likes to play with stuff like that when he'd bored... just screwing around with random things that seem totally out of character. Like, you come home one day and find him on the floor, half curled up on his back next to the household cat, just kinda... messing around with the wall mounted cat toy. He's fucking talking to the cat with this ridiculous baby voice and trying to get it to attack the toy. He finally notices you, caught-out, and you kinda stare at eachother for a few seconds in dead silence. Eventually you crack up and break into laughter at the moon-eyed look on his face. He doesn't like giving the appearance of weakness, so he's kinda embarrassed about the whole thing lol.

I feel like he would see a dog play with a tug toy, and immediately wonder if he could do that. Looks like good texture to chew and fun. - MF

Don't tell anyone because he's gotta keep up that stoic, dignified persona, but... he probably likes to show down with cats/dogs and get a bit silly when no one's looking. His pride's not going to let him get down and start a tug of war with a dog, but it's definitely popped into his head on more than one occasion anyway, lol. I get a bit of a predatory vibe from G-Man, and going along with how I'm basically slowly turning him into a human-shaped alien cat, I think if he saw one of those feathery cat toys on a piece of string moving out of the corner of his eye, he'd hone in on it and do the whole dilated eye thing and get the urge to pounce on it. You could even whip it around right in front of him and he'd be desperately trying to push down the urge to fucking catch this thing whizzing around. Kinda like this lmao.

i hc g with autism so, I'd be like "look!! us autistic and neurodivergent people use these!!" and give him a stimtoy and he'd be like. "fuck am i autistic? oh my god."

sir im hitting you with my autismificiation beam. take this chew necklace !

i feel like he also is the kind of person to take pens apart and put them back together

Yeah... honestly? It is a headcanon that really suits him. Like there's all these little things that he does that sorta give you the impression that he could be autistic... if you HC him as human, or human-adjacent, maybe a human that acquired powers, or he's the product of some kind of post-human engineering from the future or something. But... personally I'm kind of wary of putting any human labels on him like that, because at the end of the day, I don't think he is human, and I don't HC him as one, either. When you think about it, a lot of the things that we might see him as are strictly limited to a human viewpoint, so someone could be viewing him as autistic, when in reality, as an alien, that could just be the way he naturally works, for various reasons unique to him, or perhaps his species as a whole. I mean... either way, it can work... he could be an alien/human, AND autistic, and I fully support any combination of that. But I just don't like to apply that label to someone that I personally don't think is human, and might not even have autism as a thing that happens in his species. He might be an outlier in his race, or maybe he's not... who knows. I guess... it really is up to how you look at it. Anyway, It's quite a fun thing to think about and play around with. I hope my little ramble made sense, lol...

G: *quiet chewing*

G’s SO: ..what do you have?

G: *chewing faster*

G’s SO: whA- NO HEY SPIT IT OUT-

- MF

THIS MADE CACKLE SO HARD. H E L P.

But this, 100% yesyesyes. I guarantee you'd catch him trying to stick something fucked up in his mouth every now and then and you have to tell him off for it... you're gonna have to be firm with him about it, bce he's GOING to fucking stick it in there, damnit. He's probably tried to chew on sticks, leaves... just random shit. Probably a rock, too...

You better keep a close eye on this dude if you're out, because he's absolutely looking at that weird flower over there and waiting until you're not looking so he can see what it tastes like.

He's probably tried to eat something wack like a raw mushroom or just straight up eaten a banana with the skin on. Give this man a raw potato to munch on and it's like giving candy to a kid lmao. He just... he needs a little guidance about human foods, ok?

gman would bite a fidget spinner

YEAH. NGL, PROBABLY.

He really, really likes to bite things, ok? That's just how it is, folks...

It's probably something to do with his alien side. Shu'ulathoi are a bit mouthy, since... y'know, the whole sucky tongue straw business going on, which I bet they use for way more things than just sucking up people's brain juices. Since they have no limbs as grubs, and I don't think they have any eyes, either... that only leaves their proboscis, which they more than likely use to gather tactile information about objects and their environment. And when they hatch into the form of their choosing, this probably carries over into adulthood.

But, as we all know, G-Man has human form, so he doesn't have a proboscis anymore, so that only leaves him with teeth and tongue.

Make of this information what you will 👉👈

G seems to be the type of guy to see his SO fidget with a fidget cube, question them about what is this tiny little thing, try it out, and accidently break it- then vanish. The next time he shows up he has about 100 replacements for them - MF

Les be real here. You know this sneaky bastard would've used his powers to try and pull it apart to have a look and see how it works and what's actually inside it. He's curious, aight? He wants to know the ins and outs of it. Sure he's got telekinesis and could reassemble it with ease, but halfway through he forgot how he took it apart because he was so fascinated by these tiny itty bitty components humans can create.

He can't really be assed to spend time figuring out how to put it back together, so he just goes back to pre-cas times and steals a bunch of fidget toys, or things that look interesting, at least. I think he'd start foaming at the mouth if he got his hands on some of those crazy looking metal puzzles. The next time he shows up, he'd probably tell you that he broke your cube, just to cover up the fact that he's kinda embarrassed that he couldn't figure out how to stick it back together... but you probably know him well enough by then that you can tell he's bullshitting you lol. But it's okay, because now you've got all the fidget toys you could ever dream of, aw yeah!!!

Also, 100% he'd keep some for himself, too. This man? He's an absolute fidget. If you look at the way he moves in HLA, you kinda start to notice it. I bet that when he's alone, or not trying to intimidate some poor human, he'd be even more fidgety. He's always messing with his hands and his tie, he's always on the go, can't stand still for a godamned second, or if he does, he's gonna start fidgeting. I think this is mostly because his brain probably operates at a higher level (faster, multitasking, etc). There's a lot going on in that head at any given moment, so that sorta leaks through in his body-language and when he's under-stimulated.

If you give him one of your fidget toys... sorry, but you're not getting it back. It's his, now lmao.
