Reaction To Advice Things Are Ad-Nice Spoilers

Yay! Susmita was in tonight's episode! Tina and Susmita are such cute friends! Tina called her "sweet Susmita" later in the episode when she was so worried about the thought of Susmita finding out she's a cheater (not a cheater though). I just want Susmita to be in more episodes so Tina can have a consistently good friend. (Also the crazy Zekina shipper in me was happy that Zeke was to Tina's left when she was in class. My two favorite friends for Tina both together while Tina is in the middle. X3) Also, glad Chelsea isn't a snitch but we still have problems now because Tina got diarrhea because of her. Not cool Chelsea, not cool.

So gorgeous! I love this so much!

Tbh, it's probably not going to be that dumpy. I'm saving all that for the ship questions post I'm going to do eventually, sorry. XD

I'll still provide context though, just the bare minimum because I plan to talk about this story lore later. Anyway, this scene is simply Willow letting go of her fear of standing out by doing an arm wave to signal that he's free to hip-hop up their waltz. Flips is very happy about this and will take the lead for their future hip-hop waltz fusion.

The idea was based on this song.

I loved how it combined hip hop elements and classical elements together into something catchy. It's something Flips and Willow would both enjoy together. Though it leans more classical because I can't help it I just like this version better than the og one. lol This video was also an inspiration behind the commission.

Though warning, if you don't want to hear a song that is very sexual in nature, skip this video.

This is very poor quality but the dancing is good from what little I could see of it. Anyway, now I'm off to work on the ship questions post for Low-Fli where the real meat and bones of this context will be.

Commission I did for @dreamboundedstar for her oc Willow and Flips White Fudge ✨✨✨

Beauty & the Beast palette vibes I knowww. I'll leave all the loredumping to her for now but look at themmm :D

Mini Zeke ADHD headcanons. 1. Coffee makes Zeke sleepy and mellow. So he normally doesn't drink it unless he wants to chill out and relax on the couch or something. 2. When he is legal to drink (though let's face it, this kid is going to try to get it early, unfortunately), alcohol increases his ADHD symptoms. After he realizes how crazy he is drunk, he tries to be cautious for the future because he already has poor impulse control and doesn't want to do something irreparable. He likes to have fun but there's a line between fun and addiction.

3. Zeke absolutely hates being in detention alone because sitting still with nothing to occupy his brain is torture. Detention is bad enough as it is, but he absolutely can't deal with it alone with no stimulation.

I have Asperger's syndrome myself, but I feel I could still use this just in case my “write what you know” method is more underdeveloped than I thought. Anyway, this will definitely be useful.

writing an autistic character when you are not autistic - a masterpost

completely double spaced version on google docs here – this post is more blocky for the sake of people’s dashboards, but still long so people will be less likely to glaze over it. my apologies if that makes it hard to read

things to look for and avoid in an autistic character

• symptoms only manifesting as “nonverbal and rocking” • super smart / living calculator • super dumb / doesn’t understand anything • all the symptoms you can come up with for them are “awkward” and “has special interest(s)” (please do more research) • trains, technology, and/or math as special interests • acting like a child • getting treated like a baby • unreasonably cruel and uncaring about others’ reactions to them being cruel • if they’re comparable to sheldon from the big bang theory, start over • animal comparisons • a lack of feelings • please no stories about what it’s like to be autistic told by allistics

the right way to write an autistic person

• lots of symptoms, including secondary ones not included on a general diagnosis requirement list (here’s a list i rather like that was made by an autistic person – their blog is also a good resource) • having a good amount of general knowledge and actually talking about it (i cannot believe that i have to say this) • talking about things outside of special interests (again…. come on……….) (special interests are usually the default things our brains go to when theres no stimulation or we want to entertain ourselves – it isn’t literally all we think or talk about ever. if a conversation has no connections to a special interest, reconsider having your autistic character bring it up in a context that is not an introduction.) • explicitly expressed to be capable of attraction and romantic feelings – if your character is an adult, add sexual feelings to this point • capable of general functioning, just with a disability that makes it more difficult – not a walking disability (….sigh) • a wide amount of feelings and emotional turmoil (but perhaps only being able to express it in limited ways) • we’re people • just people whose brains are wired differently

things to avoid in research for an autistic character

• autism moms / autism blogs and websites not run by autistic people • any affiliation with autism $peaks means you should walk away and never look back • a scientist trying to create explanations for what autistic people do without actually asking / not mentioning asking autistic people • anything about a cure for autism • a person that “worked with autistic kids” phrased in the same way as “worked with animals” • talking about autistic people as if they are mysteries, are like animals, or are otherwise othered weirdos instead of people

things to look for in research for an autistic character

• actual autistic people talking about their experiences and symptoms • just stick to that and you’re good but it’s hard to find sometimes ngl. just look for the above red flags

things i would personally like to see in an autistic character

• less easy to swallow sadness and more destructive anger. i would love to see a canonically autistic character who was frustrated easily by small things and had trouble communicating why • not a story about being autistic, a story that happens to have a character or characters who are autistic – it isn’t pointed out or questioned, they’re right at home with the rest of the cast and not othered (a la symmetra from overwatch) • intensive sensory issues / small sounds making large reactions • clear communications about not liking x sensory thing (for example being touched) • poor motor skills / clumsiness and not being laughed at for it • walking funny (body bent downwards, walking very fast, walking slowly, big strides, shuffling, stiffness, etc)  – no one treats it as if it’s funny or something totally strange • a big personality that has a presence so they can’t be cast aside (but feel free to have quiet characters too) – if this was along with being nonverbal they would probably leap to being one of my favorite characters ever • a fear of asking for clarification on sarcasm or jokes because of past experiences and an arc about the character becoming more comfortable asking questions

What Miraculous Ladybug does to my mind!

Because I absolutely forget that this guy...

Is also this guy...

But neither of them will ever be this guy...

Step up your game!

Made a playlist for the WillowxFlips ship. It’s not as intricate, long, or connected as the Debmund one but hopefully I’ll get that figured out later.

All the context you need is that all songs before Ransom is Willow before she met Flips Whitefudge

Zekina Week 2023: Day 3 Shell

Those kids better hurry. Gene can only fend off the seagulls from Saucy for so long! (Louise is probably looking for shells too maybe XD) I like think I'm getting faster or maybe my standards for trying to be on model is decreasing. You decide! XD

Personally, all I could think of was Perry the Platypus when I first saw it.

Am I losing my mind or does this new alien from Steven Universe just remind of the porg from Star Wars: The Last Jedi???

I'm actually really digging this headcanon! I originally had his last name as Connor but now this made me change my mind. I spent so much time looking through surnames that start with F for Zeke but I think I found one that fits. The idea has been right under my nose this whole time. Ford! Ezekiel "Zeke" Anthony Ford As a Zekina shipper, it's perfect. After all, what's one of his nicknames for Tina, T-bird which is a Ford vehicle! X3 Even with all of this, my rational side is saying that Tina is just changing Gaff to Zaff like she does for all her characters in her friend fictions and it's not based on initials. Who cares though, I like this idea and it connects to Tina's T-bird nickname. :3 Also side note, I found out there's a car place called "Zeck Ford" which is close enough I guess. XD

Anyway, thank you for making this post so I could go on this surname journey.

headcanon time. Zeke's (legal) last name starts with an F (idk. Fields or Fisher or something) but because of his complicated family situation it's inconsistent in school records, hence why all the student lists we see just say "Zeke". and that's why Tina made his name "zaff" in her blade runner story. cuz his initials are ZAF
