“well, that’s not ideal” whenever something is going wrong
“we are in the timeline that god abandoned” whenever i’m mildly inconvenienced
“can’t you see that your fighting is tearing this family apart?” whenever two or more coworkers are arguing
referring to taking medication as “eating medicine”
“time to go back to prison!” when putting animals back in their cages
referring to inanimate objects as (s)he, particularly when i break something and say “oh no, he’s dead.” this concerns them especially when i follow it up with “that’s not ideal”
“what are they gonna do, fire me?”
I work in a blood bank, and constantly refer to blood types as flavors, such as “Oh, you need two units? What flavor is he?” And my older coworkers just look at me confused but my coworker that’s my age doesn’t miss a beat and responds “A Pos”
this is probably my favorite comment on this post so far
Ok, let’s admit it. The Biggest Forced Hetero Relationship on tv ever had to be Kelsi and Ryan from High school musical.
ALRIGHT KIDDOS IT’S TIME TO LEARN A THING.
Fun fact: Lucas Grabeel (the actor who played Ryan) had specifically asked the director if Ryan could be a gay character. The director (Kenny Ortega) thought that it was a great idea, and they both went to Disney to ask if they could pepper in the fact that Ryan was gay, or include a shot of him with a boy, maybe in the background.
Disney didn’t give the okay on that, so they had to instead force him into a relationship with Kelsi, despite neither Lucas or Kenny wanting him to be a straight character.
In the outtakes from the third movie, Lucas actually grabs Zeke (not sure of the actor’s name, sorry!) and straight up makes out with him, simply to spite Disney. You can find that blooper on DVD versions.
(Keep in mind that Zeke was actually Sharpay’s love interest throughout the trilogy, starting with the after-credits scene of the first movie.)
So yeah. Ryan was actually a homosexual character, but he was forced into a straight relationship through Disney. Thanks, Disney.
HE
SHOULD
HAVE
BEEN
WITH
CHAD
*whispers* I don’t dance
I love that even though Disney didnt give an okay on it, the director and crew members involved still managed to pepper or sneak in something that is gay.. *ahem* Ryan and Chad switching clothes after I Don’t Dance..
there’s really no heterosexual explanation for this!

i just saw a new psychiatrist and I know he’s not Right For Me bc the reason I went undiagnosed with autism for so long is that I’m very social and I painstakingly adapted a lot of behaviors throughout my childhood to be more socially “acceptable” going so far as having family members help train me to make eye contact and when I told him I’m recently diagnosed he said “is that a diagnosis you identify with a lot or that you’d be okay with changing” and I’d only been talking to him for like…..25 minutes and he was like “because you seem very social, so I wouldn’t have made that connection”
YOU’VE KNOWN ME!!!! FOR LESS THAN HALF AN HOUR!!!!
it’s just frustrating bc I get this response a lot from people who are meeting me after two decades of intensive behavior checking bc I didn’t know I had autism and thought I was just weird and needed to fix myself.
I forced myself to never stim, I’ve struggled with volume control and an auditory processing disorder every day, my brother actively trained me to make eye contact at age ten, I learned to use humor to cover my total lack of situational and social awareness, and after 20 years of struggling like this, ppl will be like “but you don’t act autistic”
bitch you’re right!!!!! I don’t!!!!!! because I wasn’t allowed to and it’s had emotional consequences I’m only just now beginning to unravel!!!!
it’s so wild when ppl say “i wouldn’t have made that connection” like it’s synonymous with “that connection isn’t there to be made”
this is so wonderfully articulated I’m keeping it thank you.
hello are you me
also i’ve had people tell me that same thing and variants thereof, and sometimes when i’m not in control enough to resist The Snark i meet their eyes expressionlessly and say “that means i win.”
my young padawans, i have a secret to impart: when you stop trying to fit in, and just do your thing with verve and confidence, it transcends social awkwardness and becomes the new normal. when you present your ways as How Things Are and your needs as Commands, rather than begging the indulgence of their accomodation, people fall right in line.
you don’t do eye contact? gaze at the horizon like an old sailor recalling the adventures of times past. let them admire your profile.
you don’t know when to stop doing eye contact? stare into their souls.
somebody’s ‘joke’ is too plausible and they get on your case for taking it seriously? tell them to google poe’s law. tell them you’re sure they’ll be funnier next time. tell them to Git Gud.
someone’s noise level is threatening your sanity? tell them to quit that damn racket!
flickering fluorescents in your office keep making your eyes reboot? put up a beach umbrella over your cubicle. don’t say “i can’t handle the flickery lights,” say, “the flickery lights are unacceptable and i refuse to deal with them.”
take control. you deserve to be in charge of your environment and interactions as much as anyone else does. you don’t have to ask for accomodations like they’re charity. you don’t have to be a beggar. you don’t have to Make Nice. some people will dislike you for it, but so what? the world is full of people who hate us for existing, and we have the advantage that we genuinely won’t notice cheryl from accounting giving us the lemonface because we didn’t like the battery powered dancing flower on her desk that played ‘happy birthday’ every twelve minutes and fifteen seconds.
