About a month ago, I started playing the game Ikemen Villains.

I really love the premise of the game. The grey morality aspect matters a lot within the story, which makes Ikemen Villains (as an otome game) stand out from most of the other otome games I've played before I even knew what Obey me and Obey me Nightbringer were.

I like how the characters don't stray from their path of villainy while still being sympathetic characters in spite of the fact that they often have to commit crimes for Crown itself.

But, you must be wondering which characters I like the most. So, here is a list of each character from most loved to most hated:

1- Ellis (😍)

2- Liam (🥰)

3- Elbert (😊)

4- Alfons/Victor (Both characters that I know very little about but that intrigue me at the sane time)

5- Harrison (Meh.)

6- Jude (Ugh. I just. Cannot. Stand. Him.)

Can we stop using "still lives with their parents" or "unemployed" or "doesn't have a drivers license" or "didn't graduate high school" as an insult or evidence that someone is a bad person? Struggling with independence or meeting milestones is not a moral failing.

People underestimate how much it fucks you up to be subtly excluded as a kid. I would try to talk to my classmates and be met with disinterest or annoyance. The one friend I had, who I clung to and nodded along to his every word, had other friends he liked just as much or more. And his other friends didn’t care for me at all.

I look back at pictures from the time and see how separated I was from them. I remember knowing I was different. I remember posing questions about the world to the girls playing next to me and realizing that they had never asked the same ones to themselves. That the ways we thought couldn’t be more different.

I kept myself amused with my own fanatical stories and musings in my head. I would wander the playground on a circular path, imagining a friend and being sorely disappointed when it didn’t feel as real as I’d hoped.

There was a bubble separating me from everyone else, thin, and nearly invisible, but with a pearly sheen you could catch under the right conditions. I knew it was there, they knew it was there, and it changed me

The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.

In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.

But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.

"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?

"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.

Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?

It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.

I would rather let 1000 people faking autism into autistic spaces than have one single actually autistic person be not allowed inside autistic spaces because people thought they were faking.

Individuality is not just having a different behavior or personality:

It's about how you choose to live your life

It's about your personal experiences

It's about your personal values

It's about how you approach a situation

It's about your likes and dislikes

It's about your quirks

It's about your unique abilities

It's about your natural outer and inner beauty

It's about how you feel

It's about your intellect (different types of intelligence exist. And no, I don't mean IQ.)

It's about how you show friendship, love (familial or romantic)

It's about your own knowledge

Individuality is everything that people do differently than you.

It's such an intrinsic part of being human. So, stop acting like individuality is "bad" or "evil" because it isn't.

Just because people are different from you doesn't mean that your nasty assumptions about them are justified in any way.

If you don't like it, then mind your own damn business and don't interact with anyone else.

criticisms of "anti-recovery" sentiments are deeply ableist because this sort of rhetoric defines recovery by "neurotypical" and able-bodied standards and also assumes that recovery by these parameters are both always accessible and possible to achieve, and are always desirable. In reality, these sentiments come from a deep resentment of those who are disabled, mentally ill, and neurodivergent, and a discomfort at seeing those who are labeled this way being comfortable with their own existence.

The next time you complain about the "romanticization" of mental illness or similar concepts, seriously consider whether you are aiming your grievances at the right people. Are you punching down at those who aren't suitably performing their misery for you, or are you criticizing something actually harmful such as the fetishization of mental illness by those who do not have it/are not stigmatized by labels they were not given?
