So apparently I have social anxiety... Who would've guessed😅
(These aren’t diagnostic criteria for being autistic, just things that autistic people relate to more often than allistic people do)
• Making PowerPoints for fun (peak entertainment when I was 12 years old fr)
• I can’t eat my dinner, it’s too hot outside
• Someone has shown up to my house unexpectedly; I have to ignore them until I mentally adjust to the fact that they’re here
• Stop giving me light, tickly hugs—I need you to crush me
• *in a friend’s house* Ok I have no idea how formal or familiar I am supposed to be so I’m just going to not touch ANYTHING and wait to sit down until I’m invited to do so
• Getting yelled at for “not playing correctly” (??)
• “Who’s your celebrity crush” uhhh idk I only watch this one movie from 20 years ago so I don’t know any current celebrities
• Motion sickness. All the time.
• No one else follows the RulesTM correctly! I hate group projects!
• Having constant stomachaches and headaches from overstimulation, but the doctor says you don’t have a physical problem so obviously you’re faking to get out of school
• How does everyone else just know how to do that?
• Practicing “normal” conversation before going out in public
• Touching all the soft fabrics in the store until you find that one Bad Texture and now it’s burned into your skin and you are going to die
• I made a joke and everybody looked at me strangely and now I can’t figure out what I did wrong but I think they thought I was serious?
• On the opposite side: I said something totally sincere and now everyone is laughing so I guess I join in?
• Wearing the same shirt over and over and over and over
😦
I'm sure almost every Purple fan wondered about Blackmore's strange fascination with castles, knights and medievalism overall. RITCHIE WHY??? Why disgracing the legend parading around in ridiculous tights?
Now we finally know the answer!! (very likely)
I almost accidentally made a discovery that our Black Knight is a direct descendant of British royals such as William the Conqueror and Henry Beauclerc.
In fact, that means we can name Richard the Lionheart Ritchie's distant uncle🔥😏
🔥Here you got here the whole lineage of Ritchie down to Charlemagne of the Holy Roman Empire. Of course you can check it on many genealogical websites:🔥
(Keep in mind that there are only 7 female ancestors! (in the old days that mattered))

I was dazed and confused when I found out the truth about Ritchie, but maybe his odd interests and character come from this😂
Also don't forget that name 'Richard' means 'strong in rule' 😂
Cursed photo of Ritchie for you as a bonus💗💓💖
