I hear a lot of talk about how Hollywood isn't comfortable with showing romantic relationships, interracial or otherwise, without a white person involved. But I'm not sure that fans are actually comfortable with that either? And I don't think they're comfortable without a significant white (white male specifically) presence in their favorite genre shows.

#i'm not trying to start drama but i'm hearing some takes on gen v twitter that are making me not know how to feel rn... #like we have a show that doesn't go out of its way to center white men too much and yet i sense they wish they would do it more #and like #why? #because the combo of cate emma and sam can literally do the job of whatever new white character they think would add something to the cast #if you need a nice white character to be a man for whatever reason then maybe watch the boys? you'd probably like it. i do. #dm me if you're curious i guess but again i don't want drama and i don't want to automatically think the worst of people

I have a small proposal for you! I want to do a sort of... event? I'm not sure what exactly to call it, but something interactive! I think it would be fun, just to get back into the swing of things creatively as well as have fun with those I haven't been able to talk to!

"THE REM EXPRESS"

a game? i suppose it is! I'm not sure what it is! but i do know i want You to "play" it!

Only if you are interested in it though! it is largely based on interaction!

Let me explain! Think of it as a visual novel, but just in the form of posts! (I do not have the technical prowess to actually make a visual novel...)

I will need 8 participants! (disclaimer, mutuals will have a preference! So, sorry! But don't feel discouraged! i don't think i have that many mutuals hehe!)

Those who wish to participate and take part in the "game" will need to send in their ocs! any will do! however i do take a liking to welcome home ocs!

(I should probably note that participants and "players" are two separate things! Players are those who just interact with the post!)

The game is a mystery! and i will most likely make a separate blog for it! the synopsis is as such:

"After missing your first train, you find there's another right after it, seemingly heading to the same destination. After getting acquainted with the passengers on the train, you find that they are a little strange, along with the train that drives on no tracks."

of course, the story will be pushed along by You! as polls and certain asks will dictate how things will go!

again it's only a silly idea! i'd love to hear your opinions!

anyway, i hold out my hands and present to you Train Conductor Rainy! hehe!

(credits to @thatthirstyweirdo for coloring the Rem Express poster! mwah! she did a wonderful job!)

#rainy dewdrop #the rem express #hey you! pspspspss you!!! #i would love to know if you'd like to participate! #if you wish to send in an oc please dm me! #mwah! #i suppose this would be a project... #ahh another to add to the pile! #yippee! #welcome home oc #oc...game??? #im not sure what it is yet hehe! #ocs #theremexpress #remexpress #tre

Why are people so afraid of making the Reader in X Reader fics an elderly person like the actual fucking love interest. It's always that they're younger then the character and that's just...why are people so afraid of making the Reader old. Let them have a beard full of grey hairs and let them be balding let them have kids,,, fuck let them have grandkids. Why is my 60 year old blorbo being paired with a reader in their 20s, or at the least visibly younger. Let Readers be old when they're shipped with old characters

valvert is so funny because i'll be like "omg they're so in love here" and it's like. a normal ass screenshot but the motifs are what make it gay. like idk how to tell you that somehow javert slipping into vous instead of tu is somehow more gay of him since he has his weird authority complex thingy

#like you'd think him using more formal pronouns would be less gay but he pulls it off #valvert #like. it shows respect and may i add the last time he respected jvj was his whole ''punish me monsieur le maire'' thing #so it's certainly more gay. he would do anything for jvj even if he wouldn't admit it #does jvj think javert owes him a life debt? no. does javert think that's what's happening? yes #he needs to calm down #les mis liveblog

They're all popular for a reason, and if you're looking for something long and angsty, you can count on those to deliver. (Though, I will be honest here and tell you that I never finished twyutd, but from what I hear it's a super good fic!!)

As for specific recommendations, I'll try to condense my list of favorite fics wayyy down and then go on to name some authors that I love so this post doesn't go on forever So, after scrolling in a hot sweat through my bookmarks, here's the final list:

promises kept by gabstar The Night We Met by majjale

glowing skins and pleading fingers by mimisyum

All We Ever Knew by dynamics

warm hands by flowercafe

all that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing by maxisnotokay

 Parker’s Autistic Traits

In list form because I love lists; episode references and additional details under the cut. Everyone with ASD has a different grab bag of traits, and I wanted to note down Parker’s.

Parker is canonically autistic, from multiple word-of-god sources. One in particular I’d like to note is a tweet from John Rogers, who said she was originally “in the direction” of having autism, but it was Beth Riesgraf’s decision to play Parker that way, and they “wrote to her performance”. Many examples below are definitely actor-driven. 

Struggles with social skills and a lack of real friendships through her life, but eventually connects strongly with a small group of people she considers family

Mimics social cues from others, including jokes she may not understand, body language, physical contact

Often has a straightforward way of talking; occasionally says things considered rude or not appropriate to the situation by others

Takes literal interpretations of statements, and sometimes has trouble understanding information taken out of context

Generally non-expressive or makes facial expressions not expected of a situation

Naturally avoids eye contact

Particular about touch

Special interest in types of safes & security, valuable art and items, other theft-related information

Stims by picking small locks she carries around with her, smelling things, organizing items, repeating words/phrases, and clenching her hands

Frustrated by unexpected changes to plans or her own expectations / Distracted by questions or expectations that she feels are unresolved

Gets attached to routines and traditions— ranging from seating arrangements (personal) to “Let’s steal a [blank]” (team)

Sensory issues (eg loud noise and clothing texture)

Low empathy / difficulty with empathy

When upset, may become increasingly curt or stop talking, as well as notably physically tense and disruptive

Favorite food is by far and obviously cereal, which she eats frequently and stocks boxes of the same type at both her own home and Leverage HQ

Examples + Episode Titles

Struggles in social situations

There are examples throughout the show of Parker struggling with social skills, and Sophie teaching her tips to grift, make friends, or understand others (notable episode: The Juror #6 Job)

Hardison creates a flashcard system for Parker to grift with, which she also uses for help with personal social interactions (The Rollin’ on the River Job)

Believes Hardison is the first person to have truly understood her (The Muddy Waters Job)

Mimics social cues from others

After the team mocks Nate for buying a car as a part of his “mid-life crisis”, Parker repeats the phrase in a way that implies she does not really understand the joke, but doesn’t want to be left out (The Homecoming Job)

After both Hardison and Eliot call Tara “hot”, Parker joins in, surprised when they react differently to her saying it (The Runway Job)

Monica Hunter grabs Parker around the arms, likely to stop her from leaving. Later, Parker grabs Monica in the same, odd way, likely because she believes this is a form of contact that Monica likes, since she did it first. (The Three Days of the Hunter Job)

Parker mirrors people’s body language from time to time (examples: on the MRI machine in The Snow Job, with Archie in The Last Damn Job)

Often speaks in a straightforward manner, or says things considered rude or not appropriate to the situation

Throughout the show, Parker tends to say things pretty directly, and occasionally finds things funny that others find distasteful or confusing

Straightforwardness examples: Tells a woman someone’s trying to kill her, without sugarcoating it (The Mile High Job); “She was naked.” (The Maltese Falcon); talking about Nate’s alcoholism directly (recurrent); Points out to Peggy that she told Parker a secret, which means they’re friends (The Juror #6 Job); + many less notable instances of Parker’s straightforward word choice compared to other characters

Considered rude/inappropriate: Tells a client she doesn’t trust her either and laughs at a kid’s allergy because she finds it ironic (The Fairy Godparents Job); tells a woman her grandbaby looks like a dog as a joke (The Juror #6 Job); Laughs when Sophie asks her about the death of her father (The Snow Job)

Takes things literally

Is a thief.  ..... ;)

Mistakenly believes Nate wants her to hit someone after he asks her to start a “fight”; he later promises to be more clear, and use the word “argument” next time, acknowledging that he should have known Parker would be confused (The Lonely Hearts Job)

Not completely sure if she’s using air quotes properly, asks Hardison to teach her (The Beantown Bailout Job)

Gets caught up in the nonsensicality of the expression, “Reindeer Games” (The Runway Job)

Sophie and Harry jump to clarify to Parker that they’re going to only metaphorically burn something to the ground, to which she expresses disappointment (The Double Edged Sword Job)

Solves Nate’s algebra problem for him, which he had only said as a way to rib at Hardison (The Runway Job)

Initially expects a fiddle to be involved in the fiddle con (The Studio Job)

Doesn’t clock that noises she heard in an office were people having sex; John Rogers claims on his blog that it’s because she didn’t expect to hear them in that context. Not a fan of this joke, but noting it for the intention of establishing that Parker sometimes struggles when things are taken out of context. (The Underground Job) 

Generally non-expressive

Visual; every episode, including childhood flashbacks

Has traumatic memories of people being upset with her for not smiling as a child (The Stork Job)

“I’ve never seen her change her expression before.” (Sophie, The Two Horse Job deleted scene)

“[Parker showed] A feeling. Seemed like a human one.” (Tara, The Runway Job)

Her social worker used to do exercises with her to help her identify and name how she was feeling (The Toy Job)

Naturally avoids eye contact 

Among Sophie’s index cards, pinned to help Parker learn social skills, is “Eye Contact” (The Juror #6 Job)

It’s hard to see whether or not Parker is making eye contact most of the time, due to the way that things are filmed, but you can see her eyes moving uncomfortably to and away from the “bank robber" father as he pleads with her to help him (The Bank Shot Job)

Another example is Parker asking Hardison if she did air quotes correctly, where you can see her make eye contact with him for a second before continuing the conversation with her gaze a little lower, towards his collar (The Beantown Bailout Job)

In her first conversation with McSweeten, in the FBI van, she is standing close to him, but seems to look him in the face very little, looking instead at his shirt or casually around the van (The Wedding Job)

You can see Parker looking away as she gives her fake backstory in the rehab clinic (The 12 Step Job). Sophie asks her to “share with the group, and not the floor” and that “eye contact is the gateway to communication”. Seeing as she is taking the chance to prod Nate for real behaviors she has a problem with, I see this as Sophie taking her chance to bring up a pattern of behavior that she wants Parker to correct, as well.

Sophie mentions that she taught Parker social skills such as “relating to people” and public speaking; one of her notes included “eye contact” (The Office Job)

Particular about touch

Finds it difficult to control her [violent] reaction when touched by strangers (mostly men, though she doesn’t like strange women touching her either). Parker is aware of this and worries she will ruin cons. [Could instead or also be related to PTSD.] (The Stork Job, The Ice Man Job, The Morning After Job) 

Does not often initiate hugs, and when she does, teammates are usually surprised (The Maltese Falcon Job, The 12 Step Job, The Long Way Down Job)

Prefers short or light physical contact like sitting next to people, handshake-high-fives, shoulder punches, etc. (The Three Days of Hunter Job, The Long Way Down Job)

Special Interest in theft (activity & history) / security & safes / valuable art & artifacts

Excited to talk about the extensive information she has collected on security systems, and says it’s how she spends her weekends. Embarrassed when she thinks she’s being judged for sharing. (The Three Card Monte Job)

Passionate about different types of safes, especially unique or particularly difficult to crack kinds (The Grave Danger Job, The Great Train Job, etc)

Goes to museums and on vacations just to look at security systems, even when she has no intention of stealing (The Zanzibar Market Job)

Becomes aware that she doesn’t have “normal” hobbies or interests, and asks her friends to teach her how to like [other] things. (The French Connection Job)

Stims visibly at the thought of burgling 8 museums in one day (The Too Many Rembrandts Job)

Some stims I’ve noticed: 

Picking small locks she carries around with her (repeatedly mentioned in the DVD commentaries by John Rogers, who compares it to knitting. He probably mentions it because it was not as visual as he intended.)

Smelling things, like money, people, etc (money in The Homecoming Job, the Ho Ho Ho Job, The Paranormal Hacktivity Job; Maggie and Tara in The Second David Job, The Lost Heir Job, an orange in The Juror #6 Job, etc)

Sorting and lining up things, like money (The Ho Ho Ho Job), spoons and pieces of her rig (The Inside Job)

Parker repeats words/phrases from time to time, such as “Intern Parker” (The Corkscrew Job), Sophie’s name (The Jailhouse Job), “Don’t Stab.” (The Morning After Job)

She clenches her hands and shakes in excitement at the idea of burgling 8 museums in one day (The Too Many Rembrandts Job)

She loves to hang from her rig [the ultimate stim], and multiple Leverage HQs are selected to accommodate this (The (Very) Big Bird Job, The Too Many Rembrandts Job)

Rocks aggressively in her recliner while stuck at home with an injury (The Broken Wing Job)

Frustrated by changes to expectations and plans / distracted by unresolved questions (these feel all grouped somehow in my mind)

Gets so mad at Nate’s repeated changes to the con in The Snow Job that Eliot has to drag her out of the room

Disappointed that the con changed and Nate didn’t let her continue cracking the lawyer’s safe, a part of the original plan (The Lost Heir Job)

Can’t let go of the disappointment that she never saw an emerald when they visited Emerald Island (The Cross My Heart Job), even though there was no emerald involved

Insists on continuing conversations that people fail to answer for her, even when they may not be that important (eg the Reindeer conversation in The Runway Job)

Parker jumps off the building on Nate’s original countdown in the pilot, probably ignoring the fact that he started over (The Nigerian Job)

She complains to Archie that the Leverage team is not very disciplined (The Inside Job)

Attached to routines and traditions

Is flustered and unable to participate in the briefing because Sophie normally sits next to her on the couch, and now no one is, which feels wrong (The Ice Man Job)

Insists on completing the traditional “Let’s go steal a [blank]” format, and corrects others when she thinks it hasn’t been done correctly (The Boiler Room Job (particularly), The Long Way Down Job, The Too Many Rembrandts Job, The Panamanian Monkey Job, The Lonely Hearts Job, etc)

Insists that Nate specifically say the words, “will you marry me”, when he is proposing to Sophie (The Long Goodbye Job)

Has sensory issues

“Oh I hate business clothes. They make me feel so starchy.” (Parker, The Tower Job)

Arguably, her criticism of the clothes Eliot was trying to pick out for her to fake being a model (The Runway Job)

Her primary reaction to Hardison inviting her to a robot fight is that it seems like it will be very loud (The Girls’ Night Out Job)

Wearing the heavy boots made Parker repeatedly and visibly upset, which seemed like sensory overload. She asks Hardison to hum to calm her. (The Queens Gambit Job)

Related/Uncategorized: Sometimes hears music/sounds that others can’t (unclear whether the sounds always actually exist), as evidenced by her surprise that Hardison can hear quiet music (The 10 Lil Grifters Job). On his blog (for the same episode discussion), John Rogers says, “[Parker] hears... things all the time. She also sees things a little differently.” The ability to hear and/or inability to ignore certain sounds is a common trait in ASD. Less commonly, auditory hallucinations can also be a trait of ASD.

Low empathy / difficulty with empathy

“It’s also this whole thing about she wants to do the right thing and trying to understand what the right thing is.“ -Dean Devlin; “Most shows have someone who’s just trying to do the right thing, we actually have a character who’s not sure what that is yet.” -John Rogers (episode commentary, The Long Way Down Job)

Nate and Sophie send Parker to jury duty as practice for “consider[ing] other people’s point of view” (The Juror #6 Job)

“Look, she thought she was doing the right thing, which means she actually thought about what the right thing might be, which is huge for Parker.“ (-Sophie, The Boost Job)

Uses Nate, Sophie, and Hardison as a guide to morality, upset when she can’t follow their example and return the mountain climber to his wife (The Long Way Down Job)

References the team’s influence when deciding to return to steal the Blight, a move which surprises Archie (The Inside Job)

Speaks less when upset

After the man running the orphanage scam triggers her PTSD, Parker stops talking entirely [+stabs and runs] (The Stork Job)

When they free Hardison from the coffin, Parker is the only one who does not run up to hug him, and is not seen speaking to him again, presumably too overwhelmed (The Grave Danger Job)

When experiencing sensory overload by the heavy shoes, Parker grows very physically tense and more curt (The Queens Gambit Job); she is calmed by Hardison humming

Related note: Parker seems to know at least a small amount of sign language, which she uses while presenting her greeting card ideas to a room of people (The Office Job)

Food likes / issues

Parker’s favorite food is [a specific brand of] cereal, which she stocks in bulk at her home, as well as Leverage HQ, for easy access, eating it frequently (The Beantown Bailout Job, The Inside Job, etc)

She seems to also enjoy chocolate a lot, although this may just be a joke about Parker liking exclusively sugary foods (The Boiler Room Job)

Parker claims to not like food other than chocolate and donuts. She asks Eliot to help her appreciate food, after seeing that cooking is something he cares about. (The French Connection Job)

Thanks for reading! Please feel free to reblog or reply with any other character traits / episode moments you read as being tied to her ASD, or share any headcanons you have for her. ^_^

Note: Parker is Fictional, so everything about her was a choice made either by writers or her actress. The writers seemed to be writing her intentional neurodivergence  in 3 categories:

1. Multiple sources do confirm that Beth and at least certain writers were portraying her as autistic on purpose; regardless of intention, that is how she comes across.

2.  Parker had a traumatic childhood, so certain behaviors I listed above could have been intended (by writers/Beth) as PTSD / adverse childhood reactions, not particularly ASD.

3. Some writers absolutely threw in traits not mindfully connected with any specific neurodivergency or mental illness, but instead were jokes about Parker being “crazy” or odd.

Despite the 3rd point, Parker is multi-faceted and treated with respect by the show, and is generally regarded as a significant positive portrayal of a ND character. (though complaints for certain choices are valid)

I need to shout out the Quotations section on the wiki page for "A Tangled Web" (2x77) because reading through these in order literally feels like experiencing a "Previously on" edit that gets put before a major plot episode:

Caleb: (speaking of the captured Scourger) I assume she has not had much empathy offered to her. And thus she offers no empathy, nor will she, anymore. But things maybe would be better for me if there had been a little more empathy, and there was not. Jester: But there is now. Beau: This isn't some sort of a weird masochistic self-projection type of thing, is it? Caleb: Oh, why not both? Jester: (speaking of the Traveler) No, it's not a cult! It's an organized religion. We're very powerful, and there's a lot of us followers, and ... Oh, shit, are we a cult? Matt: (as the Scourger) Good men don't conquer. They die and are forgotten. I'll die and be forgotten, but at least I know some of my deeds will have changed the course of history. Matt: (as the Scourger) "What do you want? Why did you come here? None of this is surprising. What do you want from me?" Caleb: Maybe if I could talk plainly with you and see one inch of change, I wouldn't believe we're all damned. Matt: "I hope this lesson has been very useful." Caleb: It has. You've made what I have to do very plain. Jester: (to Caleb) I walk up and I grab his hands. "I just want to say– I just want to say that I know what you went through today in the cell was very, very hard, and probably didn't go the way you were hoping it would. So if you need anyone to talk to about it or anything, I'm here for you, okay?" Beau: (to Dairon) You told me to seek out the corruption. You told me to trust no one. You told me to find the information. I could be fucking wrong, but I'm doing exactly what you told me to do. What YOU told me to do. Fuck the Cobalt Soul. You're the first person who ever fucking believed that I could make something of myself. I don't know who vouched for me over there, but I'm assuming it was you. I've always assumed it was you. Dairon: "I am proud of you. You are a fine Expositor. Which you now are, because I say so." Dairon: (giving advice to Beau) "Pry. Ask. Demand. Extract."

#the only thing you'd need to add is a shot of Essek killing the scourger on Caleb's cue. #preferably under that last quote from Dairon as VO. it'd be so perfect lmfao #honestly especially funny to me cuz there are a lot of recap videos out there but this is so concise #like I can PICTURE this sequence of clips getting played before like. the soap opera episode starts #me as always just 'what if we made fantasy soap operas. what then.' #critical role #anyway this is because I needed to go find caleb's line to the scourger #IT'S SO IMPORTANT OKAY. WE DON'T TALK ENOUGH ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT IT IS.

[pettyprocrastination]

The first time Eddie says he loves you is freshmen year when you order him a meat lover's pizza. 

He’s still asleep, sprawled out on the couch in a way you know must be uncomfortable but he slumbers on through the phone call and the door opening. Only waking once you gently shake him and set a plate on his lap. He looks around for a moment, still disoriented as he squints at the plate before slowly picking it up and then bringing the pizza to his mouth with a hum. Mumbling a “I fuckin’ love you man” with a mouthful of food as you sit down next to him. 

He says it often, after that. Each time you cover a bill, help him study, or race to the Hideout to hand him whatever equipment he had forgotten back at the trailer. 

Each time he picks you up or rents a movie is done with a dramatic frown lined by his voice huffing. “You’re lucky I love you, you know that?” 

But he doesn’t truly say it until senior year. 

When your friendship had become more. After shared woes of lacking romance and desire on the night of homecoming turned into wandering hands and cautious kisses with “is this okay” mumbled against skin that turned into matching hickies hidden under his hellfire t-shirt and the creaking of bed-springs in his trailer damn near every night. It turns into that black lipstick he loves so much smeared against his neck as you straddle his lap and curl your fingers in his hair. 

It isn’t until he’s snapping his hips against yours, fucking into you on a random Thursday night, so delirious on the feeling of your soft cunt gripping his cock and your lips against his that he moans out “I’m in love with you” without realizing he had said it out loud. 

It isn’t until he feels your hands twitch and you pull away to ask “wait, what did you say?” that he his heart drops. 

Tears brim in his eyes as he stutters out excuses as a rapid fire speed. 

He didn’t mean to. 

He was just kidding. 

He didn’t say anything. 

You misheard him.

Anything to save it. Save the relationship. The friendship that he spent years wishing would become more but never acted on because he’d rather you be his best friend than not in his life at all. The one he didn’t want to fuck up just because he was a lovesick fucking moron who didn’t know how to keep his mouth shut and now he’s scared you off for good. 

But then your hands reach out and cup his face, thumbs wiping away his wears as you lean forward until your bare chest is pressed against his and Eddie realizes then you’re crying too. 

“Say it again?” You ask him. That voice he’s laughed and sang with, pleading to him in a tone so soft and broken his heart bleeds. “Please, Eddie?” 

Eddie Munson holds you with trembling hands as he tells you he’s in love with you, and finds ecstasy when you say it back.

Now, the Freak of Hawkins does not only say he loves you. He announces it. Every day he drops you off he hollers it out of the van window with an accompanied honk of his horn, he screams it into the mic of a dingy bar with only three patrons, including yourself, watching him play with his band. He mumbles it into your ear as his hands creep up your waist in a setting entirely too public for him to be so confident in sharing this affection. He moans it against your neck at night, crying it out each time you ride his cock and each morning when you have to pull his head away from your cunt beneath the bed sheets with a wet grin before getting up to make breakfast. 

It’s his greeting, his goodbye, his melody and his battle cry. Days may come where you feel exhausted and desperate, but never do you feel unloved. 

#tj talks #dont look at me i burst wrote this its not even edited i jusr wanted to write some eddie and throw it to the voice #eddie munson #eddie munson x reader #eddie munson x you #eddie munson x yn #also peep the black lipstick mention because MORE EDDIE WITH ALT BITCHES #this post is brought to you by the thought that eddie is so full of love and starved for affection that #he def gets off to you saying you love him #sorry yall im still horned up for this man and will be so for the future #anyways childhood best friends to friends with benefits because yall are in love my beloved #sorry for the randome ddie munson smut but IM #this is probably riddled with spelling errors and misformating but hey take this #wasn't sure if this was long enough for a read more or not so please let me know if you'd like me to add one!

Covid can be compared to HIV the sense of how it's being handled by the government (an ongoing pandemic that is talked about like a virus of the <insert whatever group they want to scapegoat or group that isn't cis/straight/able-bodied/white/etc.>, and then leaving those people to die). As well as how those viruses have the ability to attack the body in ways that are debilitating and life-threatening. "Covid is like airborne HIV" is meant to hit home how intrusive & permanent the effects of catching covid are (similar to HIV), in contrast to how many, many people think of covid as "just a flu".

I hope that makes sense!
