spinning_yarnsDNWs: Sex or sexual content of any kind, rape/dub-con, abuse, unhealthy relationships, character deaths, character bashing, suicide, mental health issues without a hopeful ending, incest, infidelity, major character who is sexist/racist/homophobic/transphobic/
Likes: strong loyalty, characters being protective of other characters, platonic love, platonic touching, hurt/comfort with an emphasis on the comfort, found family, characters being nerds, damaging thoughts proven wrong, vulnerability, characters being BAMF, asexual and aromantic characters, gender-neutral/gender-fluid/agender/
Autistic Likes: Sensory issues, people being understanding, groups of autistic people getting together to complain about the neurotypicals
The following prompts are to help get you started, but you are free to ignore them if you have other ideas
MCU: You can use any combination of the characters. I love the idea of these socially awkward characters coming together and finding a place with each other. Feel free to pile on the hurt/comfort. Maybe look at how their sensory issues are exacerbated or helped by their various experiences, inventions, and additions to their lives.
Narnia: NO ASLAN BASHING!!! Lucy stands out from the others from the beginning. I like the idea of Narnia being more accepting than England, but you decide. Maybe explore how her "handicaps" influence things as queen.What are ways that her differences help?
Star Trek: one of my favorite things from Star Trek is the friendship between Kirk, Bones, and Spock, so please do your best to include that. Maybe write about how they met/found out, or about Spock having a sensory overload while on an away mission. I imagine Spock would freak out at any indication that he wasn't in control, and that would make things worse.
Miraculous Ladybug: I'd like fluff or angst or hurt/comfort for this one. For a more fluffy take, maybe Adrien with his friend/his friends standing up for him. For an angsty version, maybe the akuma victim messes with his senses. Bonus points for Hawkmoth being his dad playing into the story.
How to Train Your Dragon: I feel like this is an opportunity to really show how autistic characteristics can be beneficial, but you can go hurt/comfort too. I really love understanding/supportive/protective Toothless.
