Whiplash 2014 // Another Believer by Rufus Wainwright

“And give me just one more chance

and I will make of you… another believer”

[neimansautism]

neiman smirking when other people fuck up and he thinks that he’s better than them. FAVORITE. like he just can’t help it being there on his face… like he’s trying to hide it — GOD

andrew drinking mug root beer is so silly

Nothing warms my heart more than to see like a fanbase that’s otherwise dead except for 1 or 2 autistics having the time of their lives digging into every crevice of whatever unpopular thing they’re into for information to enrich their brains. They are literally the backbone of the internet they do more work than god where else would we get people that care about like web graphics for a lost promotional item from a dead videogame released in 2008. Key to media preservation

Neiman but he has BIG stims.

i know he’s a quiet guy but please work with me here that he’s got big emotive stims. i looooveeee it. wow

[spockspockspock]

tbh andrew using drumming as a stim (i think it could be considered one) is something i think about a lot as a musician and autistic person. i feel like he’d have a lot of internalized ableism and views drumming as something productive he can do while relieving himself of some of the pressure he feels because of everything going on around him.

ofc it becomes self destructive and obsessive at some point, but at first i think he’d come to realize that drumming makes his brain quiet and he no longer feels like peeling his skin off. it’s rhythmic and repetitive and something he has complete control over.

even when he isn’t drumming, i think his stims would still be very percussive; tapping his foot, tapping his fingers on things, spinning his drumsticks, etc. these are mostly seen when he’s out in public/masking and are what he’s determined as “digestible to society”

when he’s alone though?

i can see him jumping up and down aggressively.

when he touches something wrong™️, he needs to shake his entire body out to feel correct again. avid hand flapper vibes.

echolalia. enough said.

screaming. just screaming. sometimes into a pillow, but mostly just randomly when he’s alone. (i do this more than i’d like to admit)

tldr; andrew has big stims and i love him for it

[neimansautism]

AHHHHHHHH

(the fact that I started reading this reply and genuinely had to take a break cause it made me too excuses LOL)

If i could mass produce this reply and shove it in everyone’s face everywhere I would. Good god.

Yes yes yes, the concept of neiman having internalized ableism. Goddddd.

I literally have nothing productive to say in response to this, everything’s fantastic and my brain shorted out

[neimansautism]

neiman with a septum.

i rest my case.

[dingdongyouarewrong]

just so you know i know this dynamic is toxic and i'm not romanticizing it :/ i'm actually sexualizing it

[lamiabilenera]

Ok, so I made another playlist (promise it’s going to be the last one for a while!!). It’s about Fletcher and Neiman. Naturally, I’m going to keep adding songs to it. I just find this ship so fascinating, honestly.

[neimansautism]

THIS IS SUCH A GOOD PLAYLISTTTTT

love your picks . mwah . mwah.
