like my first impression of him as i speedran the manga was just utter bafflement, he was growing on me but i just didn't understand what was going on with him at all and i couldn't predict what he'd say or do and i knew i was missing something and then i read the adventuring party and it took me out at the knees /oh, he's also autistic/
and the more i learned about him the more i couldn't look away from him, and then sea serpent came out and it hit me that he looks like me, he has my curly hair and my big intense eyes (but blue) and my mom's skin and his face moves like mine
and i can't stop learning about him and thinking about him and then i find out he shares my birthday????? and i've tried so so hard to be an Adult Who is Normal About Their Birthday but it's his birthday too????
and then. i'm reading the metas. the conciliating and calculating and overthinking, the messiness and disordered eating and survival responses. the interest in narratives and political ramifications and the crafting of masks. the. fuckign. same curry order for fuck's sake.
how can i do anything but love him?
i give myself a lot of shit for being so obsessed with kabru but on second thought, coming into a show because i heard there were lesbians and fixating on the only brown man in the main cast is an incredibly me move
#you don't understand i literally was not aware he was my favourite until i saw a gifset for sea serpent and my heart started beating really#(kabru-ass behaviour. again.)#after i rushed them to watch the episode i was trying to explain to my sibling like#i know he makes a bad first impression but he's my babygirl he's not evil you have to trust me#and i was trying to explain that he's autistic like:#you know how some high-masking autistic adults have a very specific resting face that's kind of like a costumer service face but not?#and they went: oh yeah he does look like you#and i had to go sit down.#every day i experience self-recognition through the other (kabru) and every day it gives me psychic damage#<- literally my organizational tag for when i get like this#(this is a personal post but ok to reblog btw)#dunmeshi#dungeon meshi#dungeon meshi manga spoilers#it me#my dm thoughts
