Has Anyone Done This Yet?

has anyone done this yet?

per this post, have some Eliot-likes-to-make-Quentin-flustered headcanons:

funnily enough, Eliot didn’t know how much he would love doing it for the longest time? because he was so afraid to be overtly affectionate with Quentin until he truly knew all feelings were mutual

but OH BOY when Eliot realizes the power he has?

the first time - the time that Eliot decides that he Has to Keep Doing THIS - is when Quentin has some food on his cheek, and Eliot affectionately reaches over to wipe it off with his thumb saying, “you had something there; I got it for you”

and Quentin just freezes, blinking at Eliot a couple times before a shy smile breaks on his face (“oh, um”), and he stutters out an embarrassed “thank you”

and Eliot has to take a moment because wait, what just happened there? and Eliot can’t help himself; he ends up asking, slyly, “what was that?”

And Quentin immediately gets more flustered (because GREAT HE HAS TO EXPLAIN THIS) and says, “I don’t know. It was nice? You could’ve just told me or grabbed a napkin. It made me feel… uhh,” and Quentin ducks his head slightly, continuing softly, “- loved.” And as Quentin’s ears go red, the inside of Eliot’s brain goes… “aha”

after that, Eliot is all about eliciting these reactions, trying to one-up himself each time; one of the best ways to get Quentin flustered is being unexpectedly thoughtful or physically affectionate SO -

anyways in timeline 41 quentin gets his memory erased and eliot seduces him as he promised. he doesn’t tell q that magic is real and slowly gives up on it. they never find fillory so quentin writes fantasy stories for kids as his job. eliot starts working in gallery and eventually moves in with quentin in a very small new york flat but it’s just for both of them so it’s enough.

a few years later, teddy coldwater-waugh is born and no one dies. that’s it. that’s the timeline.

Running just as fast as we can, holding on to one another hands Trying to get away into the night and then you put your arms around me And we tumble to the ground and then you say

I think we’re alone now, There doesn’t seem to be anyone around I think we’re alone now, The beating of our hearts is the only sound

Abed’s Autistic Traits

From the blog that brought you this post comes another analysis of one of my favorite autistic characters, Abed Nadir from Community!

Social Disconnect

Abed’s most ‘obvious’ trait would be his struggles with social interaction, specifically misreading social situations, social confusion and inappropriate social displays.

Special Interests

Abed’s special interests consist of a fascination with TV/Movies. Abed frequently makes pop-culture references and leans on the fourth wall with his mentions of media tropes occurring in various situations the group encounters.

Stimming

Abed doesn’t stim very often, but when he does it’s usually because he’s anxious. Occasionally he will stim idly or when he’s happy.

Echolalia

Abed’s only prominent displays of echolalia are his repetition of the word “cool”. It has become a sort of catchphrase for him.

Shutdowns

Abed tends to shutdown when he is distraught or overwhelmed. He appears nearly catatonic during these shutdowns. The group tends to become concerned that they have ‘broken’ him.

Resistant to Change

Abed does not like alterations to the group dynamic. He is uncomfortable with alterations to his routine and living space.

Sensory Issues

Abed’s sensory issues are usually not obvious, although he is almost always wearing clothes that offer maximum comfort, like sneakers, jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, flannels, and cardigans. He apparently experiences auditory sensitivities as well.

Chameleon-like

Abed will take on different personas depending on the social situation he’s in. He tends to mimic characters from TV/movies.

Vocal Expression

When Abed is extremely distressed, he tends to whimper quietly or emit a high-pitched shriek.

Difficulty Reading Faces/Body Language

Abed tends to be confused by others’ facial expressions and body language, he often has to outright ask others what they are feeling. His ineptitude in this skill gets him into trouble sometimes.

Imaginative Escapism

Abed frequently retreats into fantasy when faced with overwhelming situations in reality. His imaginary scenarios have bordered on psychosis at times.

Controlling Tendencies

Abed has manipulated the group on several occasions. He has a strong desire for control and structure, and he will sometimes manipulate his friends for, as he puts it, “ the benefit of the group”. Other times Abed simply does it to create positive results for himself, not realizing or not caring how his actions might upset others.

Dyscalculia

Abed has shown difficulties with visual thinking, as he struggles to tell time on an analog clock, and has has trouble differentiating left from right.

Gullible/Easily Manipulated

Abed is more gullible in the earlier seasons. He has a weak grasp on the concept of “messing with” someone and tends to take people at their word. Abed’s desire to make his friends happy also means to is easier to take advantage of him, which his friends have done on multiple occasions.

Monotone Speech

Abed tends to speak in a flat, monotone voice regardless of the emotions he is expressing. He lacks inflection in his speech, and although he does know how to use it, it just doesn’t come naturally to him.

Heightened Self-Awareness

Abed is extremely self-aware, possibly relating to him being genre-savvy. He knows others view him as odd. He is extremely aware of his strengths and flaws, his motives, and the reasons behind the actions of others. Abed has had inner dialogue with himself revealing he’s self-aware even when he appears to be the most out of touch with reality.

There ya go, I love Abed! Such a great representation of an autistic person, and just a fantastic character in general.
