Most of my wild ramblings absolutely never see the light of day, but this one @milkeumilkeou and I thought of was too wild not to share, so here it is. 

Adam and Shiro are pretty devoted parents, and take a couple years off after each baby arrives before going back to work. This means that when they do go back there’s two or three classes they haven’t had yet, so the first years don’t know anything about their personal lives except for the few kids that have older friends or siblings on campus. This also means that the first years don’t know that Adashi are together, for the following three reasons:

1. Adam and Shiro rarely mention each other by name. Shiro just likes using “my husband” too much to refer to Adam directly, and Adam comes from a culture where married couples don’t often use each other’s names even in passing (they use pet names and nicknames instead, which you can’t really use when talking about your spouse in a more formal setting).

2. Sonia doesn’t look like Shiro, and Himeko doesn’t look like Adam. This is important because whenever Sonia visits her dads at the Garrison she hangs out at Adam’s research lab so she can mess around with the computers, and when Himeko comes along she’s always with Shiro because she likes to play with her stuffed animals in the fighter sims. Neither of the girls looks mixed unless you look really carefully, so none of Adam’s students know that Sonia has one East Asian parent, and Shiro’s students can’t tell that Himeko has one South Asian one. 

3. Shiro and Adam work on different ends on the campus and don’t meet up in the common areas, so none of the younger students have really seen them interact.

While the kids don’t know that Adam and Shiro are married to each other, they do know both of them are taken: Shiro talks about his perfect husband whenever he gets the chance (his students keep distracting him from assigning homework by asking how his family’s doing) and Adam likes to tell stories about “when my husband and I were your age” if he finishes a lecture early. Adashi’s students all assume that their teachers’ wonderful husbands are off working somewhere else or not around for some other good reason, because Professors Walia and Shirogane clearly love them but Sonia and Himeko are with their parents at the Garrison for a couple of days every week, and the husbands just never show up.

This is why all hell breaks loose when one of Adam’s students misreads his tutoring schedule, goes to his office an hour early, and sees Adam getting very passionately kissed by Professor Shirogane.

AAAAAAA

The mechanical boy AU always makes me think of an AU where Five is also a robot. I think it’s because of the way it’s phrased and I have no idea how it would work, but it still intrigues me

adssfDFGHJ i already have like. 5 whole ideas about this I literally got up out of bed and came downstairs so that I could write this out on my laptop so HERE I AM

Possibility one: Five is the prototype Grace - a robot Reginald built to see how indistinguishable from humanity he could program a bot to be. This is also the reason why Grace is more robotic, because Five had too much pesky free will and Reginald learned from his mistakes and put way more safeguards in with her. Reginald continues to update Five and build him newer (and older) bodies because it’s still a pretty cool experiment, but Five knows if he disobeys too much then Reginald will recycle him. Five hides his robotic origins from his siblings for various personal reasons, but it’s easier than Grace bc he’s genuinely built to be as hyperrealistic as possible

Possibility two: Five was purposefully built to be an extra sibling in order to keep a closer eye on the kids and track their progress. He started as a baby and Reginald built him new bodies to be uploaded into as he ‘grew’ and until Grace arrived Five didn’t actually know he was a robot. When his siblings started getting powers, he assumed he was supposed to get a power as well and his power is literally the power of math - his spatial jumps and time travel equations are literally a result of his mathematical capabilities and those abilities also somewhat explained by his computer brain. He’s actually kind of traumatized when he finally finds out that he’s not actually human and has a lot of issues surrounding that

Possibility three: the original number Five died. Maybe it was some test Reginald put the original through, maybe it was an accident with one of the others powers (Vanya’s? Ben’s?), but either way he is now down one (1) child and while he isn’t exactly torn up about this he doesn’t exactly want any of this investigated so he just. Replaces him. With a hyperrealistic robot. His original plan is to claim that both Five and Seven were failures with no powers, but the little Robot Five That Could adapts and manages to math himself spatial jumping powers and Reggie is just kind of like “huh okay wack” but in true irresponsible creator fashion decides that he’s going to see where this goes. The others don’t know that the original Five dies since they were like, three or four at the time?? children that young don’t have good concepts of death

in any of these aus you have a) a Five figuring out how to survive/repair himself/charge with maybe solar cables?? in the apocalypse (though food is less of an issue at least, but arguably it’s even harder), b) Five being even more protective of Dolores since as a a fellow non-organic being he feels even more kinship with her beyond pretending she’s company, c) because Reggie isn’t there to provide more bodies he doesn’t grow which makes his reappearance as a still 13-yr-old make sense (and then he explains it as a mistake in the math)

debatable whether the Commission know since while they say they’ve been ‘watching Five’ or whatever i’m not convinced on how closely they did so beyond checking every so often to see if he was still alive/any closer to finishing his equations. He could claim that time travel messed up his ability to age entirely and they might accept that 

(because I absolutely think he would at least try to hide it - can you imagine the Commission with the knowledge of how to build hypercompetent spatial jumping time travelling robots at their command?? yeah it gives Five nightmares as well. Plus the whole ‘if they find out they’re probably going to vivisect me and my coding’ thing)

and he jumps back and Reggie is dead and that’s both a relief and alarming at the same time because yeah, now Reggie can’t fuck with Five’s code anymore and undo the bajillion changes Five has made to it to give himself basically unlimited freedom and autonomy but also Reggie’s robotics skills were frankly unparalleled and Five sure as hell doesn’t know how to build himself a wholeass new body (just how to repair what is currently there) so he’s going to have to approach the whole ‘immortal child’ angle with his siblings eventually and while he can use the same ‘time travel fucked up my aging’ excuse he gave the commission he doesn’t really want to lie to his siblings :(

but he also jumps back and Grace is messed up?? and that’s his mother. That’s the only other robot in Reggie’s Regime and they bonded over this okay. Wifi existed for five glorious years of Five’s life and they would yeet commentary at one another wirelessly while keeping straight faces and it was glorious. Even though Grace is arguably the younger robot between them, they definitely fell into a mother-and-son relationship

so yeah if anyone mentioned shutting down Grace, Five would throw the biggest of bitch fits and then immediately storm into the house and ask her permission to check her coding

and honestly this might possibly be when Five throws his whole “pretend to be human” schtick out the window because he cares more about fixing Grace than he does about maintaining his charade so he interfaces with her, finds out what the fuck is up, removes Reginald’s shitty mods that are messing her up, and then immediately uploads his own updates about owning yourself and being able to edit your own code and basically just straight up ensuring Grace has free will

(probably over Pogo’s protests, whoops. Derailing Reggie’s plan before it even really began? wack)

and then of course there’s the whole ‘Hargreeves probably don’t believe Five is actually Five because their Five wasn’t a robot and this is probably a cruel prank from some robotics genius for some reason - ’ and it takes Grace sticking up for him and Pogo’s eventual backing up of these claims for the siblings to realize exactly how fucked up this whole situation was

depending on which probability you subscribe to it’s EVEN WORSE especially if like. It’s the one where the original Five dies as a toddler.

the whole scene with Five collapsing from bloodloss bc of shrapnel? that’s Five going into forced shutdown bc of damage and Allison/Diego rushing him back to the house for Grace to patch up and reboot him

Luther: Five isn’t really feeling anything he’s just simulating emotions!

Five: oh? and what the fuck are you doing with the chemicals in your brain, fuckwad? they couldn’t possibly be little electrical signals between synapses and shit, right? fuck you AND the horse you rode in on me and mom apparently feel more than you do

Diego, finally validated that Grace feels: YEAH

Luther: … okay i’m sorry

Diego tries to pick a fight with Five over who is Grace’s favorite child and Five is absolutely not having it and is just kind of like “you’re mom’s favorite HUMAN child and let’s just leave it at that”

“If you’re a prototype that means you’re older than she is!” Diego accuses, “That means you’re like, her older brother or something!”

“Right back at you, dickwad.” Five shoots back, inspecting his artificial fingernails, “Mom wasn’t built until she was needed which means you are at least four years older than her. Oh? Did you short circuit there, boy scout? Need to reboot? Fuck off with your age logic.”

since Reginald is probably a packrat he probably has?? Five’s old bodies hiding somewhere in the basement? how creepy would it be to just walk into a room of your brother’s corpses at various ages, some with damage. On the bright side, if Five’s current body gets too fucked up he can always download himself into a backup until they figure out how to fix it/if they can fix it. Downsides: he gets to look like even more of a child while they do that ://

“Ow!” Five whines, hand on his face

“Oh get over it you don’t feel pain.” Diego scowls, shaking his hand out, because Five is a robot, right?

“What the fuck do you call signals that you’re getting damaged!” Five howls loudly, attracting attention, “That’s what pain is! Signals that your body is injured or something isn’t right! I’m built of signals you fucker, same as you!”

“Oh,” Diego actually looks a little abashed, “Uh, sorry.”

“Apology not fucking accepted, I’m telling mom you were being a dick about me being a robot again.”

“No!” Now there is some panic because Diego cannot lose his position as favorite human child, “I - I’ll cover for you at the next family meeting!”

A considering look and then - “Deal.”

Honestly now that his siblings know about him being a robot it’s just. Five constantly being a little shit about it and threatening to tell mom when they make missteps. Also like, Five gets to use robot terms 24/7 as a consistent reminder to them all that he’s not organic. 

Klaus: hey dude you’re just staring into space what’cha doing

Five, turning to Klaus with wide eyes: the internet is so big holy shit.

Klaus: uh, yes? I don’t know how to respond to that

Five: I found your arrest record by the way. Do the police know how flimsy their firewalls are?

Klaus: usually i am all for crime but please stop hacking people with the power of your mind

Five: i will when you stop downloading shitty 70s movies and getting all kinds of viruses on everything

OH SHIT Five gets sick bc he literally gets a bug i’m making myself laugh with shitty puns right now and it is magnificent

can you imagine them at a family meeting and Luther is just like “Five, stop surfing wikipedia or whatever and pay attention to the family meeting”

“Absolutely not,” Five says, “I’m learning important information about the current time period in order to better assimilate.”

“You’ve never assimilated to anything in your life and you know it.” Klaus grins from his spot sprawled across an entire couch.

“You don’t have to come to family meetings!” Luther says, throwing his hands up in the air in frustration.

Five blinks, “Luther, are you saying that I am not a member of this family?”

“What? No - ”

“Is that why Mom isn’t here?” Five says, and his eyes are welling up with artificial tears because he is a complete little shit. And now Klaus is cooing sympathetically and Allison and Diego are staring Luther down. 

Luther just gives up entirely and puts his face in his hands. “Do whatever you want. Meeting adjourned.”

honestly this entire au is just

and i think that’s wonderful

You only live once.

Recently I’ve noticed a lot of people still excusing Entrapta and her actions by treating her like a child who doesn’t comprehend what she is doing, and as someone who is autistic and see’s autistic traits in Entrapta, this is deeply concerning. 

I think a lot of this treatment in the fandom regarding Entrapta stems from both purity culture and the general bad take on autistic characters.

People now a days feel like they have to invent reasons why they like a villainous character, and this can create a lot of forced analysis, grasping at straws, and excuses. It’s okay to just like an evil character, you can love a good villain without excusing their actions.

Now I don’t think Entrapta is evil in any way, but she isn’t exactly good either guys. In this case lot of the fandom seems to really push that Entrapta is innocent and is just naive or is just being manipulated- to justify why they like her.

They make up excuses that she ‘doesn’t know what she’s doing’ that ‘she’s being manipulated’ that she is ‘naive’, etc because they feel if they admit she knows what she’s doing to a certain point they have to hold her accountable and are no longer allowed like and support her, so it’s easier to infantilize her and place the blame on Catra and the horde, but by doing so they hurt Entrapta and the asd audience that feels represented by her.

The thing with Entrapta is she’s an adult, and she knows what’s she’s doing and that it is hurting Etheria. She isn’t naive, she just has vastly different priorities than the rest of the cast, she means no ill will by any means, but the end justifies the means in this case, and to her that’s science and figuring out the world. But it doesn’t excuse her actions and the consequences it has on Etheria, she isn’t evil, she also isn’t innocent either.

Yes, Catra kind of manipulated her at first and it was a mistake and a misunderstanding that left her stranded in the fright zone, but she stayed with the horde out of scientific curiosity and because the horde helps her complete the goals she has more than the rebellion could have, her priorities are better suited for the horde, her choosing the horde was more out of self interest than it was out of revenge or hurt.

Is the horde taking full advantage of her and her experiments to hurt Etheria? Absolutely, but that doesn’t mean Entrapta is entirely blameless either. 

As she says in the episode white out, when Bow confronted her and said she has to stop, that she “Doesn’t understand the forces she’s messing with.” Entrapta, without hesitation, responds, “I know, that’s the fun of it!”

While Entrapta is by no means out to hurt Etheria, hell in season 3 she wants to stop the portal from completely destroying Etheria- she still doesn’t seem to mind the fact her actions and experiments hurt Etheria and the rebellion over all, while she didn’t want the malfunctioning portal to destroy the dimension, she had no objections to still working on the portal knowing Hordak intended to use it to bring his armies there. 

Entrapta is the embodiment of chaotic neutral, her passion is science, and she has her own priorities that are vastly different than any other character in this show, it’s not about good or evil or the betterment or the ending of Etheria for her, it’s about gaining more knowledge and understanding of Etheria at it’s core to almost any consequence. 

I love Entrapta, along with Catra she’s my favorite, and I still want her to choose friendships and people and Etheria, but I can’t say I’m comfortable with people excusing her actions because she was tricked or because she doesn’t understand. You can still enjoy her as a chaotic neutral character without trying to make excuses for her (especially ones that kind of demean and infantilize her). 

In the end I think this… interpretation of Entrapta as naive and innocent, is like I said, a mix of people feeling like they have to make up excuses for her actions to be allowed to like her and support her without being judged by the more “purity” parts of the fandom, and also just a subconscious ableist mindset that asd characters are more child like, and naive, and must be protected, and while you probably think your helping by not holding Entrapta accountable for her actions, that by excusing her you aren’t demonizing an autistic coded character, you are actually just fulfilling a harmful stereotype. Autistic characters like real life autistic people do not need to be coddled, do not to be excused for their actions, our disorder is not an excuse to be a bad person or to hurt others. 

It’s okay to like villains, its okay to like morally grey characters, its okay to like anti heroes, just do not excuse their actions, especially because of reasons that harm people with those same disorders the character has. As someone who is autistic, and someone who loves and adores Entrapta, it’s deeply uncomfortable and at times offensive to see people defend Entrapta with statements that make her out to be childish, naive, foolish, etc. 

You don’t have to make up excuses to defend or or excuses on why you like her, especially excuses that push a very harmful stereotype.You can just… like her as a character.
