it's the end of Canto III. you're Ishmael. Heathcliff is seated behind you, eating chicken kebabs at an alarming rate and being extremely loud about it. "At least you're normal, Meursault," you sigh, rolling your eyes and turning to look at your seatmate. he's dumping an entire bottle of ketchup onto his kebab. sauce everywhere. all over his clothes. it's like a crime scene. he has not taken his gauntlets off. the bottle's been obliterated. his expression is stone cold. this is canon

man laios and toshiro's/shuro's dynamic is incredibly compelling to me on multiple levels

when you look at them, you can see the cultural and personal barriers that drive almost every single aspect of their relationship, both positively and negatively. laios is incredibly outspoken and driven by his passions, which he expresses freely even in the face of annoyance and/or criticism- he's allowed to be as authentically himself as he pleases, and it's this drive that allows him and the others to survive as long as they have, especially due to the fact that these passions and interests are intertwined with his skills as a dungeon diver. toshiro, in contrast, is incredibly reserved, not only due to his eastern upbringing but also his status as nobility- a combo of cultures that both demand that one save face, to avoid conflict at any cost, even at the expense of one's own feelings and individuality. this, in turn, has made toshiro the perfect samurai, as he's politely-spoken, agreeable, and an honorable, skilled man. both are also incredibly devoted to falin on different levels, having come to accomplish the same mission of her rescue despite drifting apart from the party.

on the flipside, it's these same strengths that cause them to clash- laios is outspoken but unable to truly decipher the emotions of others, leading to a lot of false assumptions and frustration from those who interact with him. toshiro is stoic but to the point of complacency, leading to a aggressively neutral disposition that's ushered by the needs and wants of others, rather than himself. neither man truly knows where they stand with the people important to them in their lives, and hold the ones that they do know how they feel with a fierce admiration expressed in ways that aren't always traditional.

in the end, they both share a growing feeling of isolation from other people that comes to a head when they meet again in the depths of the dungeon, and they both have different ways of coping with the frustrations that arise, seeing the other as only the things they have seen face to face.

it's laios' ability to express himself emotionally without consequence that sparks jealousy in toshiro, leading to a physical fight born out of miscommunication and envy. while toshiro is a driving force in the conflict, it should be noted that the actual fight is started by laios, breaking the dam of indirect communication through force. nothing is more direct than a slap to the face, and it's only after they start hitting each other that toshiro's true feelings come to light.

however, at the end of it all, toshiro is the one who stops torturing himself, listening to laios and giving him the bell, allowing laios and his party entrance into his homeland should they need it, and ultimately giving him support in his mission to defeat the dungeon mage, albeit in his own way. despite it all, they're still good friends with a conflict that boiled over, but came out the other end with a slightly better understanding of each other. the fight was painful for both of them, but it was a necessity for their dynamic to improve, and for them to be made aware of their faults and improve as individuals as well.

but also, if you think about it, their dynamic is literally just this

I’ve seen so many HCs about certain ninja being autistic right, but what if all of them were and Wu accidentally created one of those accidental after school support group things for neurodivergent kids.

The whole gangs got something going on

The autism spectrum isn't a spectrum of severity but rather a spectrum of which member(s) of Mystery Inc. you relate to most

I've mostly got the Shaggy autism

“Luffy can’t be autistic because he is emotionally intelligent.”

Are you yankin’ my chain right now cowboy, or do I have to explain that autistic people feel and process emotions too… and that we can also have the ability to recognize emotions in others and communicate, console, and interact with other people in meaningful emotional ways.

Obsessed with the fact Frank and Wally do the “I saw your spin and thought of you” autism bonding thing.

So was reading Simone de Beauvoir’s Must We Burn Sade? and it was mostly really interesting biographical context and analysis. It did get increasingly psychoanalytical as it went on though, until it reached the pièce de résistance:

Man you could just say anything back in the day huh.

(Note to self: be more critical in engaging with biographies and historical accounts to make sure they’re not doing psychiatric tarot-readings)
