thinking you have to fulfill 100% of the exact requirements for something, when everyone else apparently knows it’s actually a bit flexible
answering rhetorical questions and everyone thinking you’re stupid
SAYING something with a literal meaning and others interpreting it figuratively
following instructions to a T but not knowing how to modify them if something goes wrong
wait that song was talking about WHAT??
doing EXACTLY what someone asked of you and them getting mad that it wasn’t what they meant or actually wanted
being terrified of people’s empty threats or hyperbole without realizing they didn’t actually mean it
memorizing all the connotations of different words so you can use them as precisely as possible, getting frustrated when others are inexact
still not getting jokes and sarcasm
People often dismiss the idea of being autistic because they say they “don’t take things literally all the time”, but in my experience they usually mean “I’ve been around people who use sarcasm a lot so I’ve learned how to distinguish it.”
There’s a lot more to ‘taking things literally’ than not understanding sarcasm.
my friend aubz on twitter wrote a really cute hackshifter thing and i kept thinking abt this bit from it where j0hn’s getting teased by larry bc it’s. adorable.
(also i changed up j0hn’s outfit again but i’ll go over it in another post wooOO)
okay i THINK i’m done screwing around with j0hn’s design. i THINK. god
so last time i tried to sort out j0hn’s design i complained that he didn’t look much like shulk. and then my friend mouse sent me a DM like “hey. do you want to see an outfit shulk has that looks cool and more cyberpunk-y than his main game outfit”. and i went BOY DO I! and that’s how i learned that shulk’s Future Connected outfit is very cool. and also literally perfect for how i was picturing j0hn. like the most i did to edit it was keep the gloves from my initial design + turn his shoes into boots but the rest of this is recolouring to match his smash fighter skin & adding some more glowy bits
oh god im gonna have to draw the (edited) monado at some point aren’t i. time to procrastinate on that for as long as possible
Hair ruffles! Drawn after I drew a fancied up Atos (which I need to do a redraw of since that one was a quick silly doodle)
Atos loves when partners run their fingers through his hair or just play with it in general. Which is a huge show of trust since he doesn’t let just anyone touch or mess with his hair
