As fun as the whole “taking away preexisting npcs so the players can actually interact with the people around that I set up” thing is I do want Ayda back. And unfortunately I am not asking 🔫🥰👍

project sekai is crazy because literally every character is queer trans neurodivergent physically disabled or some combination of the above

kabru is autistic and im not even fucking with you or trying to be like self projecting he is autistic in the inverse direction of laios. he studies human behaviors in order to shape himself to make the bare minimum best impression. you call it manipulation but i call it MASKING!!!!!!!!

mum wasn't much into DS9, she didnt like it when it was airing, and only really started to get into it in the later years of her life. she loved quark. but still, i'm glad she got to see "dr. bashir i presume?" before she died

and she loved it

he could have just said "i like women." instead he said "i'm a man and i like women." why the extra qualifier? the "and that's the way things should be" felt implied. has he gotten more conservative since his teenage years (probably, yes) or is it a reflection of his conception of self? i've never believed his "i'll say anything i don't care about people's idea of me" shtick. he has always to me felt like a deeply autistic man who left a tumultuous childhood behind to try and desperately Blend In, be as Normal as possible. so much of what he does is blatant masking behavior, with a layer of CRAZY JOKES! on top as a defense mechanism, his get out of jail free card. and his marriage felt like part of that masking too, how better to finally fit in than be a Straight Man married to a Straight Wife. there's no ending to this post i don't know what it means.

i don’t know how much more i can take seeing people on the internet having literally anything that remotely resembles a hobby and people being like “do you have autism???” i’m losing my mind

N's eye color is so inconsistent throughout merchandise official art and games. i like to think he's one of those weirdos whos eyes change color based on the lighting conditions. youll never know if itll be a green eye day, a grey eye day, or a blue eye day with him

I'm the autistic person who gets negative points on writing exams for writing too much, too good.

pierre bezukhov is literally like me fr it's so wild. tolstoy was like 'yea this guy talks in incoherent sentences and has no idea about arbitrary untold social rules and has strong political opinions that other people find unpleasant and paces around rooms muttering and gesturing to himself and an imaginary audience' bro???? you don't have to call me out like this just take my fuckin wig already

[mobs-99]

Sorry but I'll never stop thinking abt mp100 literally I think every main chara is some flavor of autist/adhd literally all of them

skrunkly birthday boy.

( picrew edits i made of @spiritpyro‘s oc, hayate! the second one is pretty much how i pictured him to look when he saw vivian’s [censored] for the first time, lmfao... but either way, i tried to make this resemble your faceclaim for hayate as much as possible, only to end up being ‘ugh, what even is his hair??’ )

i feel like not enough ppl are factoring in the cultural clash between laios and shuro and the many micro agressions shuro faced while being in their group. literally the name 'shuro' in itself is one

his name is toshiro 😭 lets also not forget that he has his own communication issues, in the opposite way that laios does- thats literally a factor in their argument, that his envy for laios's ability to express himself sincerely manifested as part of his distaste for him.

ig all this to say like, was their fight heart wrenching, especially when reading laios as autistic? absolutely. anybody whos ever been in laios's position knows how much it hurts to realize someone you thought was your friend doesnt actually like having you around, especially when they didnt tell you and you had no way of knowing due to not understanding their cues. but im begging yall to step back and see the nuance of this situation cause im gonna be real a lot of you are kinda just brushing over it acting like everything is toshiros fault and that hes a terrible person when in reality hes an average guy who really, really clashed with laios and it led to a very long misunderstanding due to their supremely opposite methods of communication. even laios and toshiro, after letting everything out in their fight, were able to come to an understanding and start a foundation for an actual friendship built on better communication

ok yknow what Edit: i shouldve made it even more explicit at the end of this post, i hadnt thought i would need to since i started the post with this, but i think a few too many people are missing my point so i just wanna clarify. i shouldnt have said 'really clashed' and left it at that because yeah they did, but it wasnt just their opposite methods of communication, it is also very much that toshiro was experiencing microaggressions via laios. it may have been unintentional on laios's part, but it still happened and wore him down, made it harder for him to communicate on top of both the more subtle social cues that he was raised with and his own communication difficulties. i also want to say that the fandom reaction to toshiro and the complete ignorance of this point is also racist tbh or at the very least ignorant. i understand that the anime did not cover this panel, and neither did the manga, as this was an omake, but im gonna be real with you guys. there are enough context clues within the story to clue you into this. if you didnt pick up on it thats ok, but i think this is a good lesson in picking up subtext in the stories that youre watching and/or reading. kui shouldnt have to explicitly say 'by the way laios was racist to toshiro' for this point to be understood, and at the very least, when the author portrays a character in a sympathetic light (as kui clearly does) it should make you question Why they are doing so and what makes them sympathetic, rather than youre immediate and only reaction to be 'well i hated what this guy did/said so i hate them and they suck'. idk exactly how to finish this, just. idk. question your biases and gut reactions to things you see in media and stories, and think about whether or not theres subtext that youre missing.

i think the way tiktok and tumblr (yes i am unifying these two sites together for this, for shame!) talk about autism and adhd (n honestly ocd too) as this quirky party trick has really damaged The Youths, at least in america (n they enact that damage on the rest of us, per usual)

like you guys will CONTINUE as usual to mock n harass anyone who is slightly "weird" or "offputting" bc well YOURE autistic and YOU dont do that, so it must be a them problem. well, YOU live on your own and YOU have a job and YOU have tons of friends and YOU go to uni and YOU go to the club and YOU arent weird. its not an "autism thing", this persons just weird. weird for being a picky eater, for using scripts in conversations, for avoiding crowded places n having meltdowns while in them, for living w their parents or in assisted living, for going on about their special interests, for missing social ques, for speaking "weird", for stimming, for having little or no friends, for being unemployed, for having motor issues, for being nonverbal, for not being able to handle the school/academy system, for being autistic.

THEYRE clearly just weird, THEYRE wrong for exhibiting signs and symptoms of autism. their autism is WRONG and WEIRD and OFFPUTTING. YOURE autistic and YOU dont do that, so its clearly "not about autism".
