If you ask yourself “Would Gomez Addams treat me this way?” And the answer is no, move tf on from that situation.

Oh ..dang.

Dude, who is in my walls right now??

No but seriously, I'm an autistic actor who spend my entire autism assessment talking *at* the assessor because someone FINALLY wanted to hear how I see the world and I spend my life overanalyzing the ever loving SHIT outta the world... Anyway, she was really lovely and my assessment want definitely not as shit of degrading as the internet led me to believe (as an adult getting assessed). I mean it was definitely not designed for my age but the assessor did a great job of making me feel seen and respected.

I think it needs to become common knowledge that "inability to read social cues" can show up as overcompensating.

You don't know how much misbehaviour is allowed, so you become the perfect child who never tests rules.

You don't know if someone is irritated with you, so you'll be extra generous and self-effacing.

You don't know how much is expected of you at work so you'll kill yourself in a minimum-wage job and not notice that nobody else is working like this.

"Hardworking and quiet" should be as much of an autism red flag as "ignores rules and doesn't know when to stop talking". Or why don't we just start using words to communicate so i can stop tracking everybody's eyebrow twitches, that would be great.

If anyone tries to tell you that Shakespeare is stuffy or boring or highbrow, just remember that the word “nothing” was used in Elizabethan era slang as a euphemism for “vagina”. 

Shakespeare has a play called “Much Ado About Nothing”, which you could basically read in modern slang as “Freaking Out Over Pussy”. And that’s pretty much exactly what happens in the play.

You know who I think about in far too much depth sometimes?

That little clock guy from Beauty and the Beast. Cogsworth.

This scene specifically. He is so proud of himself when he tells this joke. And he's so proud of the castle.

We see pretty explicitly in the film that the castle servants are lonely, and desperate for something new, after 10 years of the curse. But think about what the curse means for someone like Cogsworth, and what this little joke he tells implies.

He's so damn proud of the castle. He's so eager to take Belle on a tour, and tell her all about the castle's history, and not just its history, but its art history. And he's probably not the first of his family to serve in this castle; his family has probably lived and worked in this castle for generations. The heritage of the castle is as much his own family legacy as it is the Prince's.

He was so ready with that joke; it was a polished and rehearsed line. You get the sense this is a practiced tour; he gave it to dignitaries and guests frequently before the curse. And he hadn't had a chance to use it on anyone for ten years.

I dunno, I'm just struck by what it must have felt like for this man, for the curse to not only mean his physical transformation and confinement, and isolation from the outside world, but also to lose the ability to tell the story of his family home to guests from near and far. So much of his purpose was wrapped up in telling the castle's story, and for ten years he couldn't really do that—when all the other guests were transformed into representations of their purpose (brightening a room through entertainment, cleaning up, cooking, etc), all he can do is mark time, unable to tell his defining story.

And then Belle walks in, and he cannot resist but tell the stupidest fucking joke that he's been holding in for 10 years.

idea: scene with two characters eagerly stripping each other clearly about to bone, but they keep getting interrupted by finding carefully concealed weapons in each other’s clothing, so they keep just unholstering, revealing and unstrapping increasingly ludicrous amounts of hidden guns and knives as the clothes come off, and it’s lowkey killing the mood a little

say what you will about alleged preexisting plans for the good omens sequel aka now good omens s3 (and there is a lot to say about All That), but one of the few things on the record by Neil is that Aziraphale was going to be taking notes on porn. like literally in the original sequel plan he was watching 2 minutes of soft core porn in a hotel room and taking notes for reasons unspecified, and it’s one of the few things ever said about the sequel.

and now here we are with a show that is a very blatant queer love story, and Aziraphale and Crowley kissed on international streaming television, and Aziraphale may or may not still end up taking notes on porn in s3 in some fashion to complete that previous plan/prediction, and now the Implications will be extra unavoidable and thus extra hilarious, and what I’m saying is: they are going to FUCK.

furthermore: my hottest genuine take is that if we had to witness Anathema and Newt fucking then there is absolutely zero legitimate non-homophobic reason the gay angel and demon should not get to fuck too. spectacularly. to their full natural hedonistic level.

I simply think Aziraphale’s long foretold porn research should not go to waste.

#the fact I've never heard this before is actually illegal #ohoho am i ready for s3 and all the chaos I'm sure Mr Gaiman will unleash #good omens s3 #good omens spoilers #good omens #neil gaiman #mr gaiman

it's so funny that they're actually making shows gay now. Why do I even need to be here anymore I don't need made up scenarios they're out there kissing each other on the face on my actual tv screen. gonna pack up my little kerchief and stick with a chunk of cheese and piece of bread

[goblim-life]

They are married, they just don't know yet. 😁❤️

felt gay, saved a bunch of crowley images. who wants them

[goblim-life]

i have watched the kiss scene and the breakup as a whole more times than i can count and my brain is still trying to process all the things it picked up on.

my newest painful obsession: aziraphale thought crowley came back for him.

they kiss, aziraphale says i forgive you and instead condemns them both, crowley leaves. the lip touching itself is fucking essay worthy because holy SHIT the amount of micro expressions flickering across his face is endless, michael sheen acted his ass off.

i think it's a mixture of surprise, unspoken love, a HEAVY dose of fear, disbelief, and oh my god what did he just do what did i just do. he turns away from the door and we get a very very quick shot of how exactly he is angled.

standing up straight with faked spiteful anger, the same anger he spit at crowley out of fear and insecurity, chin up, clearly waiting for something - or rather someone. we gotta remember that every single time crowley has left aziraphale, he came back. every. single. time. he came back and apologized, that's what they do.

crowley comes back and aziraphale forgives him and they continue bearing their silence.

the bell rings when the door opens again, just like it did when crowley left, and just. look at his face. how quickly he swivels around. the blink and you will miss it spark of hope.

and then the pure devastation when he realizes it's not crowley.

aziraphale thought crowley was coming back for him. he was WAITING for him to come back. even after all that, he couldn't imagine crowley actually leaving him behind, especially not after that kiss and his entire indirect love confession.

just like crowley thought for a tiny heartbeat that aziraphale was kissing him back, aziraphale hoped, hell, he fucking thought he KNEW crowley would never abandon him. not after "i could always rely on you. you could always rely on me." aziraphale has taken him for granted, of course he thought it was him coming through the door.

but that spark of hope gets stomped out beneath the metatrash's feet and he fully turns around, unable to face him and the reality of it all.

this time, he went too far.

this time, crowley did not want forgiveness.

he was about to say i love you and turned it into i forgive you, still clinging to their old ways, their old rituals, just that they are no longer those beings, no longer in that specific relationship. everything has changed.

they both thought the other would never abandon them. turns out they were both wrong.

[goblim-life]

I actually may never recover from this

What if we actually get to see flashbacks of Crowley's Fall in season 3. Since Aziraphale will be supreme archangel, he'll have access to all the files. Crowley's files. He'll learn how heaven erased Crowley's angelic memories too. I am unwell.

Spot the difference:

Me:

You can't tell me the inspiration for these two angels didn't come from those two angels.

Chessy and Martin, Brimsley and Reynolds forever have my heart.

This "spot the difference" games just keep getting harder

this is probably petty but i HATE when other autistics go "oh actually autistic people don't have social deficits! we're great at connecting with each other, just not neurotypicals :)" because

thats not true for me. i have trouble socializing with other autistic people as well. 2 of my natural social deficit traits are disinterest in peers/friendship and difficulty not taking over the conversation when i DO talk and both of those are still there even when i'm talking to other autistic people. plus i also have social anxiety from being bullied for my autism and that doesn't go away in autistic-to-autistic conversations either

MOST people i talk to are neurotypical. MOST people i talk to are not going to be easy at all to socialize with. it's almost like.... for convenience's sake... you could say... i have social deficits.

yes i could call them Special Brain Traits but i don't want to. socializing is HARD and WEIRD and UPSETTING and i am bad at it. why is it wrong to label that??? i don't think it's bad that i have social deficits. my socializing abilities don't define me or my worth anyway

This should not be this funny
