ravi's business

How Ravi Panikkar from 9-1-1 is autistic coded

im actually autistic btw and also dont like, dont read <3

lack of talking - in most episodes he goes a while without talking, just reacting with his face. (could be cause he’s not a main but shh) he tends to use a lot more non-verbal communication (gestures, faces etc) than he does verbal

fidgets/distracted easily - the gurney, 6x14 he fidgets a lot, and most episodes he’s just mindlessly fidgeting. from the jaw movement, the arm touches, tapping on the bags, he’s rarely still. he also tends to get distracted easily

eye contact - he doesn’t make a lot of eye contact and when he does it looks forced, plus it’s quick and it’s fleeting. doesn’t last long. especially if the topic is deep, he won’t make it at all

struggles with morals - the pier. autistic individuals feel their morals a lot more intense and it can be hard to distance from that. hence why the pier got to him so badly, because it fucked with his morals for life and firefighting and he didn’t know how to separate them

rough social skills - you can tell he feels that struggle to fit in, he would (still does at times) gets excited when one of the 118 actually talks to him, says the wrong things at the wrong times, alone a lot, potentially no friends outside of work (treasure hunt)

saying the wrong things at the wrong times/that come across as rude - “i did say that was a bad idea” - “that’s kind of basic” - the comment about the mirror in 5x5 - inappropriate comments about his buildings (ewew) - “i don’t expect much” - “i don’t really know these people”

“that’s kind of basic” followed by buck/eddies reaction “what he really means” - it insinuates they’ve had to do this before, jump in and clarify what ravi means because too him the comment made perfect sense, even when rude (you can also see he doesn’t understand why it’s wrong)

anxiety - he’s a very anxious character, esp in s5 but even then in s6, his confidence is a mask to hide that anxiety he’s feeling, you can see it in his eyes. he does a lot of second guessing and overthinking - anxiety is commonly seen with asd

alone/self isolation - he does a lot of things alone. the treasure hunt, on shift he’s alone a lot, just seems to really be fine just to be with himself. he also isolates himself when times get hard (buck in 5x5, the pier incident)

intelligence - he thinks outside the box, coming up with different smarter ways. getting coffee with a mobile order, finding the treasure first, realising they need co2 etc. he’s always thinking and figuring out things first - knowing random facts (phantosmia comment)

watching faces - he’s constantly looking at how the others are reacting so he knows what the appropriate response would be - when they’re inside the restaurant he’s the last to react to the guy screaming up; he’s watching buck’s face and seeing how he reacts first

following instructions - if there’s more than two steps it’s harder for him to do it and especially right, this is very clear in 5x5 like with the gurney, with the retirement fire. he preformed better when it was just one step at a time (ravi your with hen, ravi go get him etc)

stating the obvious - the whole drain pipes are only three inches so a person can’t be in it, it’s common sense yet he stated it because to him it feels like the right information to add - he does it a few other times as well, stating things people already know

«Dicho de otro modo, necesitamos de algunos símbolos que representen el esfuerzo humano o sobrehumano por dar sentido a la realidad. Necesitamos algún mito que nos hable de nuestras perspectiva limitada y que, al mismo tiempo, responda a nuestra exigencia, igualmente innegable, de ultimidad. Necesitamos símbolos, símbolos humanos, pero concretos. Tenemos que ser conscientes de sus limitaciones, pero, al mismo tiempo, igualmente conscientes de que no podemos renunciar a la verdad. Sugiero que la filosofía podría ser uno de esos símbolos.»

man ppl are really running in circles trying to prove that the whole bl isn’t proof of conflict (?? idk man i lose braincells every time i read 911 discourse) when it’s literally a show about first responders like babes. what exactly do y’all think their jobs (and yknow. literally all good stories.) revolve around ?? why do they think ppl call 911??? for shits and giggles??? also like it’d be a shit show if there was never any conflict the point of stories is that there are characters. they deal with conflict. they have some character growth/development. it’s what the entirety of procedural shows are built on!!!

anyways yeah sorry i was just thinking about that while enjoying your dumbass anons and hilarious replies you’re a legend for dealing with all of those <333 (yes i’m on anon too but my blog is @panikkar hiiiiii !)

HI @panikkar you sent this like a million years ago i am so sorry for not getting to it sooner BUT literally you are so right like -- i truly believe that some people think that the conflict should end at the 911 calls, but like, that would be boring??? if there was No conflict outside of the conflict of unnamed, one episode characters, i wouldn't care??? i personally want to see my favorite characters bend and break and pick themselves back up again, and like, if you (not you you, universal you) don't, i suggest watching. idk the disney channel or smth lmao

Someone tell the Buckley and Diaz parents to take lessons from the Panikkars on how to give their son/grandson the space and support to pursue something they love despite having a healthy fear of their safety, despite having clear and unfading memories of the past.

[...] qui no viu ara la vida eterna, tampoc no la viurà després. Això és l'experiència pasqual. És a dir, no em preocupa el demà perquè ja he vist la realitat. I, en conseqüència, no és que sigui molt valent perquè domino la por, sinó que no tinc por perquè no en tinc, de por. Un misticisme que descobreix que el sentit de la vida no es troba a la fi d'aquesta, sinó en la vida mateixa.

L'argument de la «dignitat del cristianisme i la indignitat dels cristians» no és vàlid. En primer lloc, perquè es pot aplicar a qualsevol altra religió i ideologia. En segon lloc, perquè la religió no és tant una doctrina excelsa, com una realitat social, històrica i encarnada. En tercer lloc, perquè defensar-se dient que els altres no ho han (o haurien) fet millor, no provaria sinó que volem fer una apologètica a priori, i que esquivem la qüestió fonamental sobre la religiositat que necessita Europa.
