Happy avatar birthday, Jon!

in a previous answer to an ask you said that mike “hates the sensation of anything touching his neck”

do you think jon has/had the same problem?

I think for Jon it very much depends on context. For Mike it’s mostly a sensory thing, whereas for Jon it’s mostly a trauma thing (although of course it’s both for both of them and the two contributors definitely feed into each other), so I think Mike is going to be distressed no matter what’s touching his neck or when, whereas for Jon it’s mostly if he’s not expecting it or if he’s already overwhelmed or having a bad day.

“your habits tend to get a bit stuck in whatever they were at the time.”

I’m so sorry but for the past day or so all I can think of is Mike and Harriet being HORRIBLE with iphones or whatever type they got. The only one worse is Helen and that’s bc she’s the fucking distortion. and I KNOW you probably didn’t mean it that way but just I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it until I sent it

No, I absolutely did mean it that way. Harriet has mostly figured hers out because she’s really good at engineering-type stuff (she doesn’t talk about it much or make it as obvious as some of the others, but Harriet is brilliant) and also deeply socially motivated. Mike, who is also brilliant but could hardly be less socially motivated, could probably learn but hasn’t bothered, except the basics of texting and phone calls (and emojis, which are sometimes easier than words).

(Nothing electronic works around Helen. As you said, she’s the fucking Distortion, and nothing that runs on binary logic can function in her presence. Some days, this includes Jon.)
