Book OC

So I just imagined the 12th Doctor disrupting an Autism Speaks rally...

I spent 20 minutes laughing my ass off because I pictured the 12th Doctor landing his TARDIS in the middle of a huge Autism Speaks rally, hacking the PA system with his sonic screwdriver and being his Doctor-y self.

T'challa, a weary sibling, testing new gear: is this a prank

Shuri, ignoring the 42 hidden 360° cameras, 26 hidden audio recorders, her YouTube livestream, her Instagram livestream, the camera she hid in his shirt for a first person pov, Peter Parker on the ceiling, the camera in her hair, Nakia behind the door, and all the Dora Milaje staring through the window: no

Harry Potter/Avengers AU

The Avengers are a team of Witches and Wizards fighting against the Dark Lord Thanos. 

Tony is the mad Wizarding inventor who is a genius with a wand. Bruce is a part-time healer, full-time shape-shifting werewolf. Clint and Natasha are Unspeakables. Thor is a Quidditch beater. And Auror Steve has one hell of a shield charm. 

(Oh, and Loki is a Death Eater, which no one is surprised about)

Autistic!Bill Potts

Echolocalia (imitating the walls creaking in knock knock)

Makes connections most people wouldn’t (’These chairs are very far away. Do you have super stretchy arms like Mr. fantastic?’) 

Semi-nonverbal (especially around new people)

Space is her special interest

She bolts when things that she doesn’t like

Can’t always control her facial expressions

Info-dumps whenever she gets the chance

Notices details that other miss

Observes and then tries to act on those observations

Happy stims by bouncing

Stark Tower has literally got the best wifi in the whole of New York and Tony makes it free as well so sometimes he’ll walk out of the ground floor and just see like a dozen or so people, usually kids, just sat on the doorstep on their phones or laptops and like it’s such a little thing to do but yknow. He’s Ironman. Give the kids some damn fast wifi.

All that demon blood turning Sam into a warlock, though.

It bends the rules of the universe slightly, but WOO

I still really want a SPN/Shadowhunters crossover thing.

- “Cas, I thought you said there were no other Nephilim! You called them abominations!” - “I meant there were no other… um… unorganized Nephilim. These are… uh… different. And also a secret.”

- “What do you mean the Mark of Cain turned you into a demon?!” - “What do you meAN IT TURNED PEOPLE WHO ATTACKED YOU INTO SALT?!”

- “No, I will not put on your tight black gear or whatever. I don’t care if you think flannel shirts are impractical.”

- “Vampires and werewolves can’t just ignore their murdering instincts!” - “Not when you say close-minded, racist shit like that.”

- “Mundanes aren’t supposed to stay in the Institute.” - “WHAT did you just call us?!”

Realizing this guy

is going to help raise this guy

One of these days I should actually write up, like, “a fannish guide to C-PTSD and BPD” for people who aren’t mental health professionals, so that people understand what I mean when I say a character sets off my trauma radar. 

I’m writing that kind of thing for work–trying to explain these disorders to people who have them, since I can write from the perspective of having them, and so much psychological literature is essentially written by therapists as a way of teaching other therapists how to treat people, not about how to live as one of those people. But it’s hard–hard to constantly dig up my perspective and re-root it in a different position, when I’m so used to being clinically detached; hard to concisely explain things that took years of experience to learn. 

I struggle also with my position in fandom?  I don’t like being in a position of authority over knowledge, telling people what to think and what’s correct or incorrect. Especially in the mental health field, I go out of my way to de-emphasize my systemic power and build up peoples’ knowledge over their own lives. So I don’t want to say, you know, “That neurodivergent headcanon is incorrect!” or anything like that, ever.  

On the other hand, I do kind of want to explain the frankly excessive amount of thought that goes into some of my own headcanons, because when people go, “You can’t just slap these labels on characters! You’re not an expert!” I’m like… I can slap these labels on people, not just fictional characters. I can legally diagnose people. I kind of am an expert. So I’m not coming at this from the same place as someone who’s read the Abnormal chapter of their Psychology 101 textbook. XD

And somehow, telling people, “Just read three or four of these books” has a low success rate.
