i don't really like when people say dungeon meshi is accidentally good autistic representation, because while i understand not wanting to make conclusions without explicit confirmation from the author, there's always the weird assumption that non-western authors somehow don't know about things like neurodivergency/queerness/etc. (on top of the assumptions that east asian authors are somehow more naive or oblivious to "western" social issues).

given that dungeon meshi started being published in 2014, it's not really a "work belonging to its times"—it's as contemporary as any other media we discuss on this site, which means it should be fair to assume it engages with contemporary topics (and at the very least, you shouldn't say that the representation is accidental with so much confidence)

but anyways, the chapter "perfect communication" in ryoko kui's "terrarium in a drawer" is some of the most straightforward autistic representation I've seen, and from now on I'm going to assume that laios's character writing is absolutely intentional in that regard:

Guys I just found the most hateful Interior Desecration of a Victorian house in Eastern MA

Brace yourselves

Exterior:

Oooh! Pretty! Two-family! Nice molding! Little side porch!

Interior:

I should be legally allowed to kill people who do things like this, I think

(And before anyone starts in with their strawman nonsense, no, this is not a case of “but it’s all someone could afford!!! They were tragically forced to buy a gorgeous Victorian house when they wanted a modern prisonscape, because the market in their area works that way!!! Even though they somehow could find enough money to do an entire interior renovation!!!” it’s a rental property)

Austin GP '24 // P2 Finish

"First of all, incredibly happy for the team. The team effort to get a 1-2 and so many points for the Constructors', I think that's priority number one. Congratulations to Charles, obviously, for a great drive... Unfortunately, (from my side) we got a bit blocked at the start, and then we had a couple of issues during the first stint with the power unit... Even though I was very quick on the hards...I just lost too much time at the beginning, and I couldn't get it back. But I'll take the positives, and, yeah, keep fighting."

y'know it IS possible to take the final fifteen at emotional face value and STILL believe there's more going on than the immediately obvious. it IS possible to say that aziraphale knew he was essentially being threatened and didn't have a choice but to accept the offer and STILL believe the devastation and heartbreak (and the desire to take crowley with him!) was real. it IS possible to acknowledge that he did look nervously sideways multiple times during their conversation because he was scared of crowley's confession being overheard and STILL believe what was being spoken by both of them was the raw and vulnerable truth. it IS possible to understand that making crowley an angel again was perceived as restorative justice in aziraphale's eyes (and that his entire brain was fried the moment this offer was suddenly on the table) and STILL believe him thinking this was a viable solution was utterly misguided and inappropriate and hurtful towards crowley. it IS possible to say that there are many layers to this scene and STILL believe that none of it was acted or fake or a ploy. etc etc etc
