honestly Adaine is so good at clarifying/directing Ayda socially that it begins to circle back to a dynamic of like, Ayda saying "i don't know or understand these rules" and Adaine responding "have no fear, I've been carefully studying and manually interfacing with these for years, I will explain:" in a way that to me is so autism4autism
#N posts stuff#like Ayda feels like someone who has spent most of her life alone / with adults and so lacks any context at all for socializing with Peers#she's good at Information (bc she's a librarian) and communicating Facts (bc likely most of her socializing has been helping#with research in one way or another on Leviathan) BUT she struggles a lot more with like#friendly gossip and flirting and boundaries <- because she's never interfaced much with people her own age so it's like being lost at sea#BUT Adaine to me at a certain point Stops reading to me as 'Neurotypical who intuits the rules and is just good at explaining them'#and becomes 'autistic with a special interest in social rules/dynamics' and it's less 'i grew up speaking this language natively'#and WAY MORE 'i've been studying this language intentionally for many years so I can help clarify and give you advice'#and i Love That for them I love when they're talking in Hellbound and Adaine is like 'oh lovely! do you have notes on this social phenom?'#because she's 100% canonically the autistic person who is taking notes on social cues (outright in Daddies&Demons) and is like#'Excellent. Surely with these I am going to get a good grade in Social Conversation.'#Autism win! You and the Librarian on a pirate ship have become Best Friends who think each other are SO cool and lovely and kind <3#d20lb#fhsy#d20: bad kids
