it's not that I WANT to ship Kirk and Spock. But when they look at each other that way it's like a goddamn invitation. I didn't ask for this. THEY did it, intentionally or not, I am simply observing what is there. It would be so easy if they were just good friends who acted like good friends. But instead, they're doing all THAT.

Everytime I point out that Dean Winchester is autistic, people get mad or look at me like I’ve spontaneously grown a second head, as if this man’s existence isn’t just checking off boxes for the diagnostic criteria
Special interests: westerns, cars, mechanical engineering stuff in general, 1960’s & 70’s music - specifically classic rock, monsters. You’re gonna look me in the eyes and tell me that it’s totally normal for someone who was born in 1979 to have borderline encyclopedic knowledge of two decades of music????? Hundreds of years of monster lore??? — for fuck’s sake, he had a train thing when he was little!!!! Those are special interests!!!!
Restricted diet: it’s mostly for Jokes but dean genuinely doesn’t eat much beyond burgers, diner food and pie.
Dean didn’t speak for months after Mary died and there’s 15 years of canon evidence where he loses his voice during moments of Big Emotions!!! He’s going nonverbal!!!!!!!
Trouble with social cues: literally look at every single instance of Dean trying to interact with strangers, ESPECIALLY in the early seasons. He’s not playing dumb, he just doesn’t get it. Also, watch any scene of this man TRYING to flirt and tell me that he’s any good at it. You know why? That bitch is mimicking the fucking movies and tv shows he grew up watching.
Sensory processing disorder: DO YOU THINK HE WEARS 87 LAYERS FOR FUN???? FOR FASHION????? WHAT DID YOU THINK ALL THE FLANNELS WERE ABOUT. THEY’RE SOFT. Also think about how much he liked the nightgown and the robe. ALSO, ALSO: school!!! It’s loud, it’s smelly, it’s dirty (his germ thing), the lights are too bright, there’s too much sensory input happening at one time. Between being so overwhelmed in school that he couldn’t focus and John pulling him left & right for cases and Sam, no wonder dean dropped out :(
14.04. The comic book episode is an ENTIRE episode about dean and his special interests!!!!!! And his social anxiety, hiding out in his room at the beginning of the episode because of all the strangers in his home 😤
Emotional regulation problems: those angry outbursts?? Destroying the Impala??? LOOK ME IN THE EYES AND TELL ME THATS NOT A MELTDOWN
His whole personality is a mask! He based his whole life and personality around the men he grew up around! John, Bobby, the other hunters - we all know that dean isn’t this rugged manly man he puts on. Sure people can have layers, but my man literally wore his dad’s actual jacket for fucking years
Black & white thinking: this doesn’t need anything else tbh
Strong sense of Justice: “how many people do you have to save?” “All of ‘em. Whole wide world of sports.”
Literal thinking: half the show is about how they both have to learn to look at monsters and not immediately go “monsters bad.” Also literal thinking is hard to explain, but I promise he does this.
Hyperlexic: “what? I read?”
“Too blunt”: all those times you thought “that was kinda harsh Dean” or “wtf that was so mean” - he doesn’t like lying to people when he doesn’t have to!
Hyper empathy: “The baby in the well? My bad.” “I do my best to be brave.” Sacrificing himself for people over and over again. The djinn episode and the speech he makes in front of John’s grave. His whole life he’s been told he cares too much!!!!
As a fellow AuDHD bitch, the most AuDHD thing Dean has ever said was “we know a little about a lot of things. Just enough to make us dangerous.” Also: “I got no idea. But what I do have is a GED and a give ‘em hell attitude, and I’ll figure it out.”
Like I could dive into the nuances of all of these and explain them in great detail and find textual evidence for basically everything, but it’s too early in the morning for that much work when I know that I’m right. Yeah he has adhd, obviously, but I will eat my left hand if that man isn’t autistic.

I don't get why people keep criticising spock for being logical
like ok someone died out there but he is in charge? and if he let it get to his head he may put everyone in danger?

any Trek you want: 🧡
🧡: What is a popular (serious) theory you disagree with?
Finally I can say it, I hate how most of the fandom talks about Vulcan hands 😭. I can't take the idea that a Vulcan accidentally touching another person's hand is like two humans making out seriously. Especially since I can't actually imagine Sarek just making out with his wife in front of other people, because if that's how you read it, thats what he's doing in Journey to Babel, in those scenes its reads like a kiss on the cheek or just holding hands between two humans.
Also even if it is that intense, it would have to be that exact motion and not just an accident, Vulcans have a lot of rituals and I think that you have to do the actual hand motion, like in JTB or in The Search for Spock, for it to be romantic or sexual, you can't just accidentally touch someone's hand and you're now making out with them.
I think the Vulcans can feel emotions via touch and thats why they dont touch other people is a reading I like better, its an intimacy that humans can't really understand but also that it isn't romantic in nature.

Confession #137
"NGL, I thought SNW Charades was interesting and feel hurt when people hate on it. It’s an interesting take on a character with a mysterious/vague backstory. We don’t know if a species change would just be a physical, it could also affect someone psychologically or emotionally. Either way, it would be interesting to see and we got to see a take on how that would affect someone. I feel like if that episode was a fanfic it wouldn’t get as much hate."

The lack of consistency in TOS is so fuckinh funny to me
You’re telling me that Spock was so ashamed of pon farr in Amok Time that he’d rather die than tell his closest friends what’s wrong with him
Yet, in The Cloud Minders, he could tell Droxine all about it as a pickup tactic?
Absolutely wild
