I See A Lot Of “Bruce Accidentally Uses His Batman Voice During A Regular Business Meeting And Freaks

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.

Prompt #112

Touch-starved whumpee who doesn’t know how to ask for comfort

- Whumpee who grows up being denied or ridiculed for their need of affection. Eventually, Whumpee learn to just stop asking because they will never get what they want and will most likely be punished for daring to ask.

- Whumpee who are wary of being open or vulnerable to their teammates because their guardians or the people they grow up with see vulnerability as a weakness. Whumpee has been so conditioned that they are not allowed to ask for comfort so they just close off and deal with it themself. And their teammates don’t know they are truly struggling because they have learned to conceal it so well.

- Whumpee who is taught to not be “selfish” (read: to not ask for anything), so they just don’t ask because they don’t want to bother their teammates.

- Whumpee who takes on the role of a caretaker and put their own needs for comfort aside so they can listen to teammate A’s family issues or be the big spoon because teammate B likes to be the small spoon. They see their touch starvation as something trivial themselves, because their teammates need their touch more and Whumpee can handle themself.

- Whumpee who just melts into someone embrace, soaking up all they can get. Whumpee who hides their disappointment and the feeling of emptiness when the arms inevitably let go and they are alone again.

- Whumpee who is too shy to ask, and is a bit closed off and by themself that people think they don’t like to be touch.

- Whumpee who is very selective about whose touch they want, but has to take any physical comfort they can get because they don’t have any other option.  

There is only one laundry in hermitcraft and it is at spawn. Xisuma set it up because he needed a way to politely inform the other hermits that they really need to wash their clothes, just so he'll be able to take off his helmet with the filtration systems.

And just as predicted, the clothes all got mixed up. There are several people who own lab coats, so they just get swapped around (although everyone ensures that Doc gets the torn one before he wrecks someone else's coat). The shirt situation is hopeless.

Grian's red sweater and Stress's entire wardrobe are a constant threat to the non-pinkness of any other article of clothing on the server. Jevin's clothes are probably a biohazard. TFC's has enough dust from the mines to clog up the machines twice in a week, while Tango has enough gunpowder on his that it became a genuine concern that the pipes might blow up during the drying cycle. Rendog barely stops Wels from chucking an entire suit of armor into a washing machine, but then proceeds to overfill the drum with the outfits from all of his alter egos. Etho starts running a 'Lost and Found' where he threatens to sell other hermits' clothing to someone else.

After a month, most of the hermits have given up (or ran out of diamonds for Etho) and accepted their fate. Impulse and Joe had accidentally swapped shirts, and Joe begins to rid himself of the @ branding to embrace the i, while Impulse has an existential crisis over the idea of changing his name. On the other hand, Cleo and Cub have swapped their clothes and neither of them were bothered, since it was still pretty much a crop top and shorts either way.

All of the suits on the server are now mismatched, or very pink. It is now a reoccuring joke that if you manage to get the mayor's clothes and sash, you'll own the diamond throne. Inside the now-abandoned lost-and-found, there are a lot of unclaimed Mumbo for Mayor t-shirts lying about, and the pile appears to be multiplying, or at least growing taller by the day. It might be sentient at this point or contain some sort of mutated fungus, but nobody dares to clean it up. Why is it making a hissing sound?

Xisuma admits defeat when he walks into a Hermitcraft meeting, only to find just about everyone wearing one of X's costumes that they had stolen from the laundry. Keralis does rock the Reporter Beesuma suit though, he can keep it.

This entire thing was such an entertaining read, thank you for this lovely mental image...I just can't stop thinking about the conversations that would happen as a result of this!

Just in case

Ok but The Seven would totally beg Reyna to tell embarrassing stories about younger Jason, and she would totally comply, like it’d go something like this…

“Reyna tell me that story about Jason accidentally flying into a tree.”

“Oh that was hilarious, you should have seen how red he was and-”

“Oh my gods, Reyna sTOP!”

This made me laugh.

Remember to make space for the heteros this month too - yes, really.

Lesbians who became straight men

Gay men who became straight women

All straight drag artists (note that not all of them are cis!)

People with complex identities who thusly encompass multiple orientations (like genderfluid and multigender people who, yes, are sometimes straight, or even simultaneously with other labels)

Hetero aro and ace people. Especially. Seriously.

People with fluid orientations

Gnc people who find joy in their straightness

Many queer people are also straight. Queerness is note solely reliant on gayness. These people too, are a part of pride. Remember that.

[All discourse attempts will be swiftly blocked. Exclusionists fuck off]

Xisuma : If I can deal with it, you can too.

Evil X probably: I just felt an emotion and i’m not okay with it

Nope. Wish me luck :)

Currently watching the entire criminal minds series from season 1. Going good so far
