#'commentary' videos like this are just as low scum as gossip ones -- all they do is call them by a different name

[yourfavouritetragedy]

One good thing about mcyt loosing prominence with the end of the DSMP is that we don't have to suffer through any more inane "commentary videos" (gossip videos) made by people who openly admit they know nothing about the streamers, trying to clickbait an "analysis/explanation" (their worthless ignorant opinion) of the latest drama.

Hi, I'm sorry for bothering you. How would Byakuya, Nagito, Gundam, Kokichi, and Gonta react to a s/o who has autism, and makes animal noises when happy? And one day they're out in public and someone makes fun of them so much they start crying? This recently happened to me. Thank you for your time

I know it's been a long while since this request was submitted, but I'm sorry that happened to you, that sucks. Since I'm autistic too and I like making goat noises as a vocal stim, I figured I should write this. I'm not the best at writing Byakuya, so that part might be a little weak, but I hope you like it!

Byakuya Togami:

- Byakuya has a hard time getting across what he means sometimes, especially in terms of emotion, so he relates to a lot of your communication issues (even if he doesn't like to admit it).

- He was surprised by the animal noises at first, and wondered why you were making them, but once he found out it was a sign of happiness he accepted it.

- He won't admit it, but he finds your noises amusing and cute sometimes.

- But one day, while the two of you are reading in the library, some jerk started making fun of you for getting excited about your favorite part. Byakuya made sure to make his displeasure about that known.

- "How dare a plebian like you make fun of someone I, Byakuya Togami, love. Even if you weren't a common peasant you'd be scum, insulting someone for something so innocent."

- He makes sure to bring you away from the situation, and once word gets around that the jerk was on the wrong side of Byakuya, their reputation went down a lot – and fast.

- Byakuya let you know he will make sure no one gets away with making fun of you while he's around, and all was well.

Nagito Komaeda:

- He loves your noises! He also loves being able to take turns talking for long times about the things you two like; him with hope and talent, and you with your special interests.

- He even bought himself a stim toy, once he found out what they were through you, and to his surprise it's been rather calming.

- You suggested one day you two go watch a movie you were both looking forward too, and he readily agreed.

- As you're waiting for the movie to start, he's whispering to you as you occasionally make a noise in excitement.

- That was when the asshole behind you two made some loud commentary about your noises to the person next to him, and when Nagito heard your sniffles he immediately turned to the guy who was gossiping.

- "Pardon me, but I believe that someone as low as you should shut up and stop talking about those who don't concern you. It really is pathetic that you feel the need to try and snuff out the light of other, lovely people, you know."

- As soon as he finished speaking, Nagito led you to a different seat on the other side of the theatre.

- The rest of the movie was uneventful, and Nagito's luck even caused you to accidentally get a bunch of candy from a broken vending machine later, as payment for him seeing you sad.

Gundham Tanaka:

- He thought you were imitating the Four Dark Devas as first with your squeaks. But then he found your noises were simply noises of joy, and was amused that mortals, too, can make the noises of beasts to express emotions.

- He finds it fun to interpret your squeaks and tell you if you manage to accidentally say something in a certain animal tongue. Most of what you say is just occasional words in hamster or guinea pig, but you'll never forget the time Gundham fell out his seat in shock and laughter when you somehow said, "The broccoli is on the roof; we ride at midnight."

- It was during a grooming session where you got to brush a bunny's very soft fur that an asshole from one of the other classes popped in to see what was going on.

- "Wow, is little y/n whining again? Do you want to – ack!"

- They didn't even get a chance to finish what they were saying before Gundham was standing before them with an intimidating glare.

- "A mortal such as yourself would not be able to comprehend the abilities of one used to speaking in a beast's tongue. Now, I demand you leave or I shall banish you from my presence with the power of a thousand demons!"

- They left, understandably, and Gundham blushed when you thanked him for standing up for you.

- "I-it was nothing, my Darkness... Foolish mortals typically spread hate when faced with a might they cannot comprehend..."

Kokichi Ouma:

- Kokichi was the type to make fun of you at first, but he quickly got over that long before the two of you started dating.

- When he found out you made goat bleats when excited, he was all too happy to join in.

- Now, whenever you let out a bleat, you can hear him do the same from down the hall. Sometimes you bleat back and forth for fun!

- One day, though, someone just had to make a comment after you let out a quiet bleat while playing your favorite video game.

- "Oh my god, why are you –"

- They didn't make it any further than that before Kokichi let out a very loud bleat of his own and dumped a bottle of Panta over their head.

- They stomped off to clean themself, and Kokichi joked about how pathetic they were, staying with you to watch you play and bleat some more with you.

- No one bothered you after that show of protectiveness.

Gonta Gokuhara:

- Like Gundham, he's able to understand you if you say something in animal language. The difference is that he didn't even think you were imitating an animal, he just thought you spoke in it sometimes!

- It took him a while to understand. But once he got it, he got it!

- He also has trouble connecting to people, and he's been embarrassed on more than one occasion when someone's tone or body language flew over him. So he understands your struggles when it comes to understanding others!

- When someone made fun of you in class when you made a noise after getting a tough question right, Gonta wasn't even angry, just really sad and confused.

- "Um, excuse Gonta, but... You shouldn't make fun of people for expressing themselves. That's not very nice. Also, plenty of animals make noise for no reason other than expressing emotion! So it is understandable for humans to do this too, because humans are also animals! ... Ah, Gonta apologizes if he's not making sense."

- The girl tried to just brush off what Gonta was saying, but the teacher told her to knock it off.

- After class, you got to tell Gonta how much you appreciated what he did.

- "Gonta just wanted to make sure y/n was happy and safe! People who make fun of others aren't very gentleman-like, and Gonta thought it best to tell her that she wasn't being very nice."

- You smiled and told him you appreciated it.
