if it's funnier than it is problematic it's ok (the misha collins rule)

#to clarify this does not only apply to misha collins its just named after him #the obvious example of this is having to come out as straight after two days of the entire world thinking ur bi #because u told them that u were bi #this also very much does not apply to discrimination and such because thats not funny!!! #idk sometimes a guy does a few things that are goofy /neg but it's silly enough that mostly it just gave me a chuckle #supernatural #spn #misha collins

Reid’s Autistic Traits

I was bored, so I decided to make a compilation of sorts on my favorite autistic character, Dr. Spencer Reid. These have been piling up in my files, so prepare for a gif-style infodump.

Stimming

Self-stimulatory behavior often consists of repetitive movements. Reid is frequently seen fidgeting with his hands and other objects. He almost always talks with prominent hand movements. He also frequently touches his face. Reid occasionally spins in chairs, rocks back and forth, etc.

Missing Social Cues/Confusion in Social Situations

Despite his excellent profiling skills, his interactions with strangers and friends often leave Reid confused and causes him issues when trying to connect with people. He will miss jokes and sarcasm, take things literally, and occasionally gets uncomfortable when speaking publicly.

Infodumping, Hyperfocus, Special Interests

Reid’s special interests, as I have observed them, involve general knowledge seeking, criminology, Halloween, old foreign films, and sci-fi. Reid has a more rare trait of autistic people; savantism. If you believe in quantifying intelligence, Reid has an extremely high IQ (187), He also has an eidetic memory and can read 20,000 words per minute. When Reid is working a case, he frequently enters hyperfocus, ignoring everything else around him. Reid often goes into long-winded explanations of things and is oblivious to others’ frustration with his infodumping.

Sensory Issues

Reid doesn’t have as many obvious sensory seeking/avoidant behaviors as many other autistics, but it does manifest every once in a while. Reid is often uncomfortable with touching strangers, especially shaking hands. He has shown sensitivity to bright lights and loud sudden noises. Reid’s clothing choices also reflect his preference to be comfortable.

Coordination/Spatial Issues

Reid tends to display spatial awareness, coordination, and dexterity issues. He prefers academic pursuits, and ridicule in childhood further led to his aversion to physical activity/sports. He has also only very rarely been shown to drive a car, and takes the train to work. This may be due to difficulties with driving ability.

Appearance/Hygiene issues

Many autistic people struggle with basic hygiene and appearance upkeep. Reid’s hair, whether short or long, is almost always messy and unkempt. Reid’s clothes are often disheveled as well.

Trouble Regulating/Expressing Emotions

Reid tends to suppress his emotions much of the time, but when he experiences strong emotions they tend to pour out and seriously effect him in ways that don’t effect the rest of the team. Reid also tends to have odd/exaggerated facial expressions which may be a way of overcompensating for his struggles of expressing himself acceptably.

Additional stuff:

Avoiding Eye Contact

Going Non-Verbal (I’ve only ever seen this happen to Reid once)

Resistant to Change

Sitting Cross-legged (I’m not actually sure if this is an autistic trait but I always sit like this and so does Reid so I thought I’d include it)

So yeah, I hope that was informative. It was fun to make this post! Thanks for reading!

One fun thing about my town is that about two years ago, our feral rabbit population tripled, and while we mostly had grey rabbits, there were a handful of white and black rabbits as well.

Two years later, it turns out grey rabbits are hard to see on the road, and white rabbits stand out to predators, so now we have a bazillion identical black rabbits roaming the streets like lost souls of the damned

it never fails to surprise me how some people will simply take every single thing in a story at face value and assume that what the characters are saying or doing or thinking must always be true even when all of the context clues are screaming the opposite

#the people who said will byers was queerbaiting even after he cried after talking about how hes different to his bff who he said he loved #through the pov of his girl best friend of course even though she never said the things he was saying to his friend who is a boy #and then jonathan randomly told will he would love him no matter what and that he would always be his brother #like no they didnt they say it but it was pretty obvious dude

writing advice: every chapter should have something that makes you, a sicko, say yeesss… hahaha… yeeesss!!! and it doesn’t quite matter what you are a sicko about but it’ll be hard to get through the chapter if nothing makes you press your face into the window

babygirl i can overthink things you’ve never even thought of in your life

i love when random tumblr users find my blog and go through it liking and reblogging everything in a frenzy, it feels like i’ve been cultivating a nice backyard with a lovely birdbath and feeder and i’ve glanced out the window to see a bird going absolutely wild with it

#MEEEEE #i was SO dismayed when i found out this kind of behaviour is frowned upon on other websites #this is how i show my affection

[ifnotformariano]

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

one of my favorite things about tumblr is how it doesn't show follower counts so i interact with everyone like they're all just a lil guy

#i could be talking to a celebrity and it would not make a difference #you are not a celebrity when u are on tumblr ur just a blob

it’s very funny when people complain about not finding a fanfic that suits their very specific tastes. like write it urself bozo. acting like fan creators are there to cater to you 😭

#someone tried to own me once by saying that instead of complaining i should just write what i want #like no actually #u misunderstand me #im complaining about myself

[ifnotformariano]

the prioritization of top/bottom in shipping dynamics is so weird. why are u making it so that whether or not they take it up the ass defines their entire personality
