working on a oneshot where steve is autistic and i just think he is so... this is steve to my brain

he got diagnosed as a young kid, then got put through shit tons of therapy by his parents to learn to hide his autistic traits, and moved schools so none of his peers would know. and he grew up so ashamed of these parts of himself because of the sighs his parents would give him when he stimmed or showed these traits, that he never told anyone. not nancy when they were together, not jonathan, not dustin when he saw him as a younger brother, not robin his platonic soulmate, and not eddie.

he hides during meltdowns so they don’t know he’s having them, and he sits on his hands during movies so he doesn’t flap them, and he mouths words and phrases to himself instead of repeating them out loud. he’s quietened his neurodivergent traits down as much as he can.

but robin still quietly suspects, since she’s autistic too. eddie still worries about him when he disappears after too long in the arcade with the party. dustin still notices when he glances over at steve during drives and sees him mouthing to himself the words someone in the car just said. nancy still wonders why he seemed offbeat and much quieter than usual after a long day at school.

so even though he never told his friends, they still support him as much as they can.

Take two!

Favourite frames from the new B-Side chapter, featuring some analysis because I have coherent thoughts this time 'round :D

Beware, spoilers below for the B-Side as well as the manga

@veiled-bird that goes for you too, you're nowhere near meeting this guy yet

First up, I love this chapters art. It reminds me of when I was little and asking my dad to help my brother and I beat the last level of episode 3 in lego star wars tcs

Also the chapter title? I have so many thoughts, they'll be discussed more in depth further down but they will be discussed /pos

Numbers weapon 1 mention!! I'm very excited to (hopefully) get more lore about it. Although I am curious if it's like a contact lens or something, I thought it was closer to a surgical implant or maybe some weird side effect from using numbers weapon 1. Mostly because I don't think he's been drawn with normal eyes yet in the manga (at least from what I remember)

Either way very much hoping we get some more numbers weapon 1 lore in this :)

This whole scene but specifically "what good does a test proving I'm abnormal do" hits so hard, especially as someone diagnosed with ADHD in my late teens. Having that feeling of there's something wrong with me for so long and being brushed off every time because I didn't act like the stereotypical 10 year old boy with severe ADHD (a psychiatrist literally told me and my mum i probably had adhd but she wouldnt diagnose me,) I did start to kind of give up on ever figuring it out.

Narumi was incredibly relatable to me in the main manga (not because I'm a badass, I'm very lame lmao) because of the behaviours he exhibits, hyperfocusing on games, constant dopamine seeking (through videogames and online shopping,) needing to be fiddling with something to better process the information being given out, etc.

Narumi is also incredibly smart, its stated explicitly that he got top scores in the entrance exam and I can't imagine those tests are anywhere near easy. It gives neurodivergent kid being told they just need to apply themselves to do better in school/make friends/just function in a neurotypical way in general.

This also comes from his being kicked out of several orphanages, and then even after joining the defence force (especially after being told by Isao that they take anyone that can show skills and results) getting kicked out by the second division and every platoon in the first until he ends up under hasegawa. Considering the title too this is 100% supposed to read as the classic "troubled kid" (many of which are neurodivergent) that not many are willing to put effort into helping. Isao is giving him a way out of the life of having no home to go back to, only to be struck with the threat of getting kicked out once again a year later. Narumi is a very skilled and capable fighter and no one in their right mind would argue with that and it once again all comes down to being labelled as too difficult, hard to work with, never paying attention

This chapter just hits so close to home with me

Baby Mina!! I know there's a decent amount if it in the manga but it's still weird to see her with short hair. I love her so much

There are many more words of appreciation I have but all thought went into dissecting Narumi's character lol

And so being kicked around by hasegawa begins

I love his face here, top tier expression

And here we see Isao solidifying the thought of skill and results being all that matters, there's no way Isao was going to let Narumi get kicked out, especially not after showing aptitude for handling numbers weapon 1. I like to think at this point he does also care for Narumi, I think he sees a lot of Kikoru (or what she could be) in him and especially he sees himself in Narumi. And even though he's only ranked captain Isao would clearly fight to keep Narumi on the force (he probably already had to for Narumi to get transferred to the first division instead of just being dropped when he didn't mesh with the second)

This is also the beginning of Isao and Narumi's mentor/mentee relationship, Isao knows exactly how to handle Narumi and his child prodigy-ness and help him reach his potential as a defence force officer. I think that's part of why Isao shows little care for how Narumi handles himself when off duty, it may be that he knows he can't change Narumi in that way, it may be that he himself just doesn't care for all the professional decorum, either way Isao plays the very important role of being Narumi's main support while he's in the defence force (until Isao dies anyway, whoops.) Narumi needed a space where he could not only be himself but be accepted for it and have the trust of his peers and superiors that he would get the job done when he needs to, and whether it was on purpose or not Isao provided exactly that for him.

This also ties back into the earlier ramble about Narumi being the typical undiagnosed neurodivergent "troubled kid"

(Also the origin of what Narumi says to Kikoru ~9 years in the future :D)

Omg jaeger is canon? Kaiju no. 8 and pacific rim crossover when? /j

Another interesting tidbit about Narumi is his self confidence, he knows he's capable and isn't afraid to tell people that. He says playing support is annoying but what I see is someone that knows he can do better placed somewhere else and has decided to take that into his own hands. He won't get kicked out of the defense force but I wouldn't be surprised if he gets into a shit ton of trouble for taking Isao's words to heart and disregarding his orders, even though I do think he'll be an asset to the battle and perform better being closer to the front lines.

Poor hasegawa has his work cut out for him keeping Narumi in check (a captain and vice-captain match made in hell)

Enemies to Lovers 👀❓️hate sex 👀❓️

Mmmmmm how about reluctant co-workers to lovers? ;;

You're a diamond in the rough as Laswell presents it, a young hacker in her early 20ies found by the CIA due to you messing around in the wrong places at a very bad time and getting yourself caught like and amateur and now here you were.

Scared of all the possibilities of what could happen to you and unbelievably angry at the whole world, at fate for letting you down and at yourself for not being careful enough. And now you're here, seated in a lone gray room, fluorescent lights beating down on your tired eyes and served with an ultimatum: you either start working for them under Laswell's watchful eye or serve the unforgivable life sentence for all your 'crimes'. An easy enough answer isn't it?

And now you're here, stuck with the mercenary group called 'Shadow Company' under the command of Philip Graves, a 'tech-wizard' as some call him. Kate thought it would be a great opportunity for you to get acquainted with the military and what exactly your new job would entail, and since Shadow Company isn't under strict military rules you'd be granted a bit more freedom, and so began your slow, reluctant relationship with commander Philip Graves himself.

It wasn't...bad, exactly. More like tense and extremely mistrustful. He's a straight-cut commander of an army and you're just 'some kid' with a knack for hacking who got bit of more than she could chew and now she's here; not to mention that your stubborness which was more than shared with Graves didn't help at all, it led to many a conflict and long silences on both your sides.

And yet 'life will find a way' as they say and with time your...relationship slowly warmed up. Speaking to each other without the weird tension in your voices, being more relaxed in each other's presence, just slow and gradual building of trust.

It all came to a culmination point where after one very tiring and exhausting mission that left everyone both physically and mentally exhausted you both just...ploped next to each other in the safety of the safe house waiting for exfil. Nothing was said between you two, nothing had to be said as you just stared into the bright, dancing flames of the fireplace and sat in silence, sitting so close together that your shoulders were touching and Philip would lie when he'd say that his heart didn't skip a beat or two.

The combined warmth of the fire and Philip's body and his natural pleasant musky scent made you sleepy, finally able to really rest. Before you knew it your heavy head slipped and laid itself on the male's shoulder, a content sigh escaping your lips as you sleepily smiled and cuddled into his side. Graves was at loss for words for a second; was this the same girl who used to almost hiss at him a few months back? And almost crawl up the walls when she had to be in the general vicinity as him? He supposed it wasn't important now, was it?

He smiled gently as he looked down at you and gently kissed the crown of your head before leaning back against the couch and started to drift off himself, warm and content for the first time in a very long while <3
