something they don’t tell you about being autistic is that every character you write WILL end up autistic/autistic-coded whether you like it or not

[apollos-boyfriend]

same goes for being aromantic/asexual. every character WILL come out at least a little aspec

[apollos-boyfriend]

Cooking horror game where you play as a cook working in the galley of a ship in the 1800s. There’s some kind of supernatural nautical horror story going on in the background but you barely notice this because you spend all day cooking in the galley.

I could not stop thinking about this. The only cue you get is the ingredients keep getting more and more unnerving, and like the prep you have to do to make the food gets more and more elaborate??? GIMEE THE GAME.

The man is just tall enough that he doesn’t have to move chairs.

[bobolovesoze]

Fun fact! He did this because Jonathan Frakes had a back problem. It was easier for him to do this

[pokegeek151]

Fascinating! I did not know that!

[saint-batrick]

it’s why he’s always doing the riker lean, too! where he puts one foot up on something and rests an arm on his own leg! he fucked up his back moving furniture when he was younger.

Disability accommodations do not have to be made into a big deal.  He just… did that.  And it became part of the physicality of the character.  And we all joked about it, because without the context of the actor’s physical discomfort/pain, that is an objectively funny way to approach a chair.  But Jonathan Frakes has the raw charisma to make it work, and by Gd he worked the hell out of it.

[crisisoninfintefandoms]

Yeah, not to get, just, TOTALLY off on a tangent, but it reminds me of the classic “Bartlet Jacket Maneuver” from The West Wing.  

This is how Martin Sheen puts on a jacket, and he does it that way because of an injury done to his arm when he was born. His left arm was crushed by forceps as they were removing him from the birth canal, which made that arm shorter than the other and also limited his overall movement. So, he puts on a jacket like this–because he has to. He just doesn’t have the movement and flexibility necessary to slip his arm into the sleeves another way. 

But, on the show…he just did it, and did it with such panache and confidence that no one dared even question it. He played President Bartlet on TV for, like, 6 years, and so for 6 years that was just how Fictional President of the United States put his jacket on. And, yeah, it was a bit odd maybe, people definitely noticed, but mostly all anyone actually thought about it was “Damn, that looks cool and badass as fuck.” 

It became a signature for the character, not in any kind of negative or “that’s weird” way, but just, like…something unique and special that people recognized and had really positive associations with. You’d see that jacket flip and it would trigger this little bright smiley “Fuck yeah, you go get’em!” feeling inside. 

There’s even this bit, in one of the show’s most acclaimed episodes, that includes flashbacks to when the character is much younger, and they had the younger actor do this move when he puts on a jacket (which he had to learn how to do of course) and then used it as a transition cut to the present day character finishing the motion–a way of linking them together, making them feel more like one person with one continuing story to the audience. And like, I remember, seeing it when it first aired, and fuck, I got chills, it was just such great moment! They were literally using this little detail, that was entirely due to the actor adapting to his disability, as a way to ground their flashback sequences with the present storyline and make those scenes feel more real and present to the audience and it worked. Because nobody working on the show saw Sheen’s funky jacket move as problem, they actually found a way for it to actively make the story better. 

Anyway, blah blah blah, characters being interesting and having unique elements informed by their actors doesn’t take anything away from the work but actually adds to it, yadda yadda yadda.

girl in horror movie holding a bible open: “according to legend, a mob tortured a half-man, half-god, and nailed him to a wooden cross, leaving him to starve to death. But days later, on this very night, they found he had clawed his way out of the grave. Now those who believe lie in wait for him to rise again, To honour him, they have weekly gatherings where they chant and sing, and at the end of it they eat his flesh and blood.”

girl’s friend: “wow.. thats so creepy…”

in case you were wondering how things went down at the pokemon world championships this weekend:

-during the top 8 of the TCG masters division, chilean player fernando cifuentes was running a gimmick deck that consisted exclusively of four iron thorns ex and a whole ton of control-focused trainer cards in a strategy that either completely shuts down opponents or shits the bed entirely

-through skillful play and some good luck, fernando made it through 2 days in a tournament with over 1100 players to get to the quarterfinals

-fernando lost 2-0 to ian robb, who was running regidrago vstar (widely considered one of the best decks in the current format)

-in an overexuberant victory celebration, ian did what can only be described as a jacking-off gesture, on a stream with tens of thousands of viewers run by a company with very firm player conduct expectations

-the judges determined that this warranted a penalty of game loss, but for some reason, rather than applying it to ian’s next game in the semifinals, they applied it to the one he had just won in the top 8

-(it should be noted that the prize money for making top 8 is $15k while top 4 is $20k, so this jerking gesture cost ian robb $5,000)

-nearly an hour after fernando came to terms with his loss and the end of an impressive run, he was told that he was to get back on stream because he’s now playing in the semifinals due to winning by default

-the player he was up against in the semifinals was playing a deck (miraidon) that happens to get shut down hard by iron thorns’s gimmick, so fernando wins the semifinals

-said player, jesse parker, had notably had an undefeated run throughout the whole tournament up to this point, and likely would have continued that streak had his intended semifinal opponent not gotten a game loss penalty for miming a lewd act on stream

-meanwhile, the other semifinal winner is japan’s seinosuke shiokawa, running a deck (roaring moon) that players had largely written off as underwhelming months ago

-the grand finals are on the following day, so saturday evening was abuzz with a lot of people baffled by the absurdity of the situation

-come sunday afternoon, the grand finals are set to begin, with fernando cifuentes running iron thorns and seinosuke shiokawa running roaring moon

-it should be noted here that the roaring moon deck doesn’t rely very much on abilities, so iron thorns’s gimmick has very little effect - this is basically an even matchup

-fernando wins the first game of the set, and seinosuke wins the second

-the third and final game of the set is a bonafide cheek-clencher, with both players reaching a state where a single KO will win the game, but fernando manages to clinch it at the last minute

-and that’s the story of how a guy pretending to jork it led to the first instance of a pokemon world champion who also lost the quarterfinals

i still think of the professional development on trauma we had at the beginning of one school year where they presented on how rats that were licked as babies were way better adjusted

and my coworker turned to me, stared me in the eye and said, "so were you a licked rat or an unlicked rat?"

[afeelgoodblog]

Imagine being buried alive and then seeing this little guy with a backpack suddenly arrive

[pea-gravel]

It gets better. The little backpack has a two-way radio.

So you’re trapped under rubble, and then a rat shows up. Flicks a switch on its little tumtum. And starts talking to you.

#I love the hashtag women in STEM bc at first I thought they meant the rat 🙈 (via @sprotteswelt)

until you said that it never occurred to me that the woman in STEM was the scientist and not the rat. i was just like “hell yeah, this rat is a powerful woman pioneering lifesaving technologies as a rescue ranger”

I was about 30 minutes past having scrolled by this when my Tumblr feed bugged, and suddenly every single post was replaced by this one. Not even reblog spam or anything, it just plain overlaid the existing posts, tags and all. I've never felt more in-tune with what it means to browse Tumblr

......suddenly struck by the idea for a piece of worldbuilding of "fae don't like iron bc it is the most stable element*"

*as in elements higher you can extract energy via fission and lower you can extract energy via fusion but iron itself there is no excess binding energy to extract at all
