Welcome to another “my best friend and I send each other headcanons” this time featuring the Batman Lego Movie somehow followed by a discussion of Talia? I don’t know how that happened
When you’ve had enough because this is a serious situation
i can’t even imagine what Soundwave yelling sounds like because he’s often seen as the “silent one”, or at least someone who doesn’t get visibly emotional, like i don’t think he’s ever yelled in a tv series or movie…
so now i like to think that it’s actually very loud, very resonating, very heartstopping, where everyone and everything in the room freezes because shit just got real
These kinds of responses are my FAVORITE. Some examples to answers to this question I have heard:
1.
“Okay, and who’s the president?”
“Obama, no wait, shit *vehemently* fuck, I hate him… what’s his name…”
“It’s okay, you know who he is.”
2.
“Who’s the president?”
“*drunkenly angry and confused* ..uhhhhhhh…Orange… damn it what’s the fuck’s name….
“Yup, good enough.”
3.
“And who’s the president,”
“Not fuckin’ Obama!”
“I feel ya.”
4.
“Who’s the president- wait, nevermind you’re from Korea you said, right? So who’s-“
“Everybody knows that Trump-bitch.”
“Oh, well, alright then.”
5. (My personal favorite)
“Who’s the president?”
“Ew.”
“Good enough.”

A common misconception is that the above pictures are of a carpet which is just not true. It’s actually a mold formation that grows in most toddlers bedrooms which is why literally everyone you knew growing up had it
the autistic ping
Look, we’re not actually narcissists
When you talk to us about an emotional issue
And we respond with a personal experience or anecdote
We’re not trying to make the conversation about ourselves.
Most times (at least with me), I have to find an experience within myself that is similar to what you’ve described
So I can furnish an appropriate emotional reaction to what you’re experiencing.
It’s sort of like when you ping an IP address to fix a faulty Wi-Fi connection.
It’s not personal, it’s just how I navigate Feelings™.
This is how many people on the Autism spectrum express empathy. We don’t say things like “You must have felt so…” like neurotypical people are used to. To us, that comes across as presuming to know. We look to when we felt something that seems similar, and offer that experience. That lets the other person decide whether we truly know how they feel.
When I do this I am trying to show you that I really do know how you feel, and not just saying something arbitrary to make you feel better. Since I’m not good at showing and expressing emotions or even knowing exactly what it is I am feeling, I barely know what others are feeling. But by relating situation to situation, I’m acknowledging what they are feeling now and that I felt a similar way once, so that any advice I give can sound like I’m feeling the right emotion.
Oh I had no idea this was an autism thing I always respond to people by talking about situations where I felt similarly
Literally this is so common they test for it during the diagnostic process.
one of the social skills i’ve learned (now in my 40′s) is how to tell when not to do this. usually. i can mostly pick up when i should just go “that’s rough, buddy,” and pat you on the back.
but my default reaction is still to relate with an experience of my own. it’s like putting my cards on the table, you know?
as for how to react to it, i genuinely am not making the conversation about me, so all you need to do is confirm i’ve got the right ballpark and then we’ll talk about your situation for the rest of the convo. i’m definitely not trying to have a competition. it’s like –
you: oh man my souffle collapsed
me: ugh, i had a cake collapse once, that was nasty
you: yeah it’s like that, but more so. like you can cut up a flat cake for trifle but a flat souffle is just, feed it to the chickens, it’s done
me: oh no, what a bummer. you wanna borrow my stand mixer next time?
Well shit. I have been doing this all my life. I didn’t realize it was a problem until someone made a snotty comment at work when I was 20. Ever since I tried not to verbalize it, but it really was the best way to understand. I’m 42 now, and I’m doing my best.
if you an adult learn to take sex criticism. Y’all be 26 giving out wack head cause you refused to listen in ya freshmen year of college that you not suppose to bite it like that. You 28 still just sticking dry penis in a dry hole saying “oh..you tight” NOT AROUSED!!!
