#he’s just autistic 💀

[suspiciouslackofclowns]

Eddie has a serious problem when it comes to interrupting other people during conversations. It would vary between rude, with little quips like you seemed like you were done talking anyway, to doing it completely on accident without realizing.

It’s always been an impulse thing. He’s an asshole, but he’s not that much of an asshole — he just can’t keep his mouth shut sometimes.

But, hey, that’s just Eddie being Eddie.

His outbursts start to become less frequent, astonishingly. Sometimes he’ll count on his fingers when there’s a pause in conversation before he takes his turn to talk. Sometimes he’ll even stop talking when he realizes that he’s stolen someone else’s spotlight.

He’s trying really hard suddenly and while it’s appreciated, it’s confusing — Dustin still has a hard time picking up where he left off on his story when Eddie tells him sorry, go ahead. Like he’s being baited or something just so Eddie can swoop in and interrupt again.

Again, he’s an asshole, but he’s not malicious.

It starts making more sense when Billy is around during a campaign one night. Eddie interrupts Will in the middle of his sentence without realizing, and Billy lightly brushes his knuckles against his arm. Gives him a gentle look, eyebrows slightly raised, but not overall disapproving. Eddie snaps his mouth shut.

Apologizes while a flustered red blossoms on his skin and lets Will pick up where he left off.

And, oh, the kids don’t stop talking about it for weeks. Don’t stop teasing Eddie because he literally has a handler.

In all reality, Billy struggles with social cues himself, and he’s been supplying Eddie with his own little tips and tricks to not seem like an asshole in everyone else’s eyes.

in defense of kabumisu……..

addressing things I see people say about why kabru being shipped w mithrun is ‘bad’ or why their canon relationship ‘doesn’t mean anything’ while also clearing up misconceptions of the characters some fans have

listen it keeps popping up and I just gotta do this or my brain will melt (if you don’t see it around then god I wish that were me) there’s an age gap!- erm there’s also an age gap in farcille (ily), the most popular ship in the series...also chilchuck looks like a kid but a lot of fans recognize him as a dilf because of his relative age, so there should be no age gap discourse among adult characters because it feels so conditional tbh

kabru taking care of mithrun is racist!- marcille likes to take care of others as well. is that sexist, or just an aspect of her character?

kabru isn’t treated like a servant, waiting on mithrun hand and foot…I mean he gives mithrun a foot massage but no one told him to do all that lmfao

he's also not the only one to care for mithrun. pattadol is shown to worry for him and milsril was the one to start taking care mithrun in the first place after he…...y’know. speaking of which-

they probably met when kabru was a kid!- neither of them showed signs of recognizing each other the entire time mithrun was introduced nor when they were together. and im pretty sure KABRU of all people would show some kind of recognition if they'd met before. it's kabru!!! the people person!!! mr. "i-noted-down-50+-characters-in-this-dude's-backstory-for-fun-and-actually-enjoy-social-gatherings"

you would think some kind of memory would come back to him especially after hearing mithrun’s backstory if milsril had even told kabru about him as a kid. but nope. it’s just fan speculation unless there's a side comic suggesting otherwise that i haven't seen

mithrun doesn't care about kabru, his shapeshift double looked like shit!- it's obviously because of mithrun's (then) lack of desires that it looked like that, but they really grow on each other

i think it's safe to assume it'd look more like kabru after they spent so much time together (also laios can barely even remember kabru's name..also saw his face multiple times and didn’t recognize him when they talked for the first time)

mithrun is racist!- he’s actually the least likely character to be racist since he lost his desires and that includes a desire for superiority over others. he even calls his past self out on that part of himself. the other elves in that side comic were being just as racist to shorter lived races but just didn’t use ‘outdated slurs’

(unfortunately literally every main character in dunmeshi is at least a lil prejudiced, but I believe it’s worldbuilding and a sign of the times rather than a reason ryoko kui is giving to hate each character)

taking care of others is a pain in the ass!- saying this as a reason kabru and mithrun shouldn't be together is basically saying disabled people shouldn't be allowed to have romantic relationships because they're a "burden"...if someone is actually willing to put in the work, then let them be.

that's not even all of their relationship, mithrun is the fighter of their duo and kabru would've been killed by the shapeshifter or something if he'd fallen down the hole on his own since he sucks at fighting monsters. mithrun helps collect ingredients for cooking every time, too (barometz fruits and griffin egg). he pulls his weight and then some!! i feel like people forget that part of mithrun a lot somehow.

+senshi literally cooks for everyone all time. it's kind of an important aspect of the narrative.

+also, while it is a popular fan thing I see around that kabru handfeeds mithrun, he literally never does lol this is mithrun using his own hands to eat:

also here we have him washing his own body

just saying because people like to treat mithrun like a baby even though the narrative respects him as a capable adult who also has special needs because of an accident. he’s captain for a reason

kabru hates taking care of mithrun!- not exactly, he was initially surprised and put off but got used to it quickly. i’m sure he’s grateful for all the times mithrun saved him from a monster and teleported them out of danger as well

he even starts doing “unnecessary” things for mithrun’s comfort and safety like when mithrun pushes himself too hard fighting, even after his mission to take care of him was complete when the canaries came back

here is even kabru resting while mithrun keeps watch (mithrun let him sleep for 5 hours before waking him up from the nightmare earlier, too):

there's nothing more to their relationship!- they actually have had a very tight and consistent dynamic since they met and they incite the most change within each other by the end. kabru is the one who inspires mithrun to create new desires so he doesn't waste away, and mithrun is the first person we see kabru being genuine with and it leads him to be more honest with others by the end instead of tiptoeing around everyone all the time (that mask was also the reason some ppl initially disliked kabru…)

kabru’s relationship with mithrun is honestly so important for his character and vice versa, but it’s often disregarded because of one over exaggerated aspect of it (an aspect that isn’t even the first way they interact with each other) or because people want to just straight up ignore it for some reason 🥲🥲

kui dedicates many panels to them that don't particularly serve the narrative as a whole in order to demonstrate this and i think that's pretty significant

you're taking this too seriously!- as if i'm the first person in the world to be crazy about a ship or the characters 😭 i love analyzing text and it's upsetting to see them mischaracterized when kui lays out the characters so clearly and deliberately

also they end up touching each other like all the time and have the kind of canon validation most ppl can only dream of lol i feel so insane look at this:

and this is just when they're first getting to know each other cuz there's a fuckload more

kinda hard to explain how i don't actually need them to get married or whatever but i'd die on this hill for them and i enjoy their dynamic immensely

haha you thought you were reading ship discourse but it was actually a character analysis 🤪🤪🤪

also don’t somehow take this to mean I think anyone has to ship them, I just need everyone to understand these accusations kind of don’t make sense especially when they can also apply to other pairs or characters

bonus kabru just looking at mithrun:

[saturnniidae]

I bet Hiccup was accused of being a changeling when he was little

[heavy-buddy]

cobs is so autistic with lots of internalized ableism coded

[thingsthatcometomymindwheniwrite]

[morganpdf]

[vampirecatprince]

Our Copia alter, Scaevola, has been co-con and jumping in and out of working with me most of today and he just said something out loud and holy fucking shit Scaevola is somehow emulating the timbre and patter of Copia's voice, just without the accent.

We usually speak very flatly too... so his lilting intonation startled the hell out of me.

WE NORMALLY DONT SOUND LIKE THAT.

[worm-in-a-trenchcoat]

A dad and his kids were looking at reptiles and whatnot and asking me to take animals out for them so they could look at them and while one som was looking at the reptiles, the other was looking at the small animals and was playing with a mouse through the glass.

And the dad asked if he wanted the mouse just out of nowhere, and the kid said yes. So the dad asks if I can get the mouse for them to buy it, and I asked if they had an enclosure set up already (when I knew they didn’t, clearly) and the dad said they didn’t.

I told them we couldn’t sell it to him if he didn’t have an enclosure ready and he understood.

But he like… didn’t even seem like he was going to try to get it together while in the store? He was literally just going to buy the mouse and just like… take it home with just the box it came in. Because his kid said he wanted it (the kid didn’t even seem too into the mouse, the dad was trying to convince him to get it. Whole thing was kinda weird).

I just… like why would you ask for the animals before getting the stuff you need to take care of it?? We get people like that every single day. And sometimes we have to walk them through and help them find every single thing they’d need for the animals and tell them the basic care information that you should know before getting the animal.

And then you have the ones who no longer want to get the animal as you’re explaining to the care and stuff because it turns out to be “too expensive”, when the animal itself is like under 20 bucks. 20 bucks covers the animal, but you need a place to put it and stuff to feed it ya know.

-

Maybe it’s just the tism, but I don’t get impulse buying animals like that. I always research before I get something, even if it’s a cheap animal. Like my 8 dollar anole for instance, I researched anole care for weeks and had the enclosure setup way in advance before I got her. Don’t get me wrong, I have bought some animals over the years impulsively in the moment before, but only if I knew what I was getting into and had the means and money to take care of it.

I wouldn’t look at an animal I had no basic knowledge on and just ask to get it without knowing a single thing about it or it’s care. Like… why would you do that??

This turned into a rant, sorry. I’m just so tired of people, man lol.

[cherry-bomb-ships]

One thing I've rly liked abt self inserting in PPG is that the time frame in my mind is 1999-2002 so when it comes to media my s/i engages with, I'm trying to keep that in mind and think about all the stuff that came out around that time that I love irl, so of course I'd be a fan of it back then too uwu

Look this is just my long winded prelude to saying that when the first Pikmin game drops in 2001, I would totally make Mojo a fan of it ehehehe 💖💖💖💖💖

[lowcallyfruity]

I hate him. I hate him so fucking much.

(I adore him. I love him with every bone in my body.)

[boywonderasnf]

OKOK HEREA WE GO

before i begin Insane TED-Talk of The Day, im gonna preface that i love this take so much, but my brain does things more than one way. but both is v good!!!

anyways mb bout the rant and dont come for me if anything is incorrect or wtv. erm also i mostly focus on the main 4 batboys so pls dont be upset i didn't mention the other kids💀

ANYWAYS as the post said:

"Bruce Wayne is a dad in many different ways and for many different reasons, but chief among them is his ability to know that one of his kids is sick just by looking at them or hearing them breathe.

He can diagnose a fever with just the back of his (gloved!) hand on their forehead. He knows when they’re about to be dizzy before it even happens. He is A Dad."

OKAY NOW BUT WAIT WHAT IF HE ISNT THO LIKE MAYBE WHEN THEYRE YOUNGER BUT AROUND THEIR TEEN YEARS? ESPECIALLY DICK, WHO TURNED THIS INTO LITERALLY HIDING ILLNESS JUST SO HE COULD STILL WORK FOR BRUCE AND "NOT DISAPPOINT HIM" ??

DICK, WHO WORKS HIS ASS OFF 24/7 AND IS ALWAYS ON EVERYONE ELSES ASS SO THEY TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES ??

CONSISTENTLY DICK HAS TRIED TO GET AWAY FROM BRUCE'S TEACHINGS AND (even though Bruce probably didnt mean for it to be unknown,) ALWAYS MAKE IT KNOWN THAT ITS OKAY TO TAKE BREAKS AND CARE FOR YOURSELF

RAUGHHH AND ON TOP OF THAT, HIS EFFORTS ARE JUST SLIGHTLY LESS THAN USELESS (slowly getting better, but still) BECAUSE HIS SIBLINGS WERE ALL STILL WITH BRUCE AND SO IT GOT INSTILLED INTO THEM TO HIDE ILLNESS AS WELL IM GOING INSANE

JASON NEVER GOES TO BRUCE FOR ANYTHING AND ALMOST NEVER GOES TO ANYBODY ELSE OR ASKS FOR HELP (for many reasons, but still)

SAME WITH FUCKIN TIMBO! KID DOESNT HAVE A SHRED OF KNOWLEDGE FOR SELF CARE IN HIS BODY

Damian was already just like that, but hes also Dick's chance to help Dami unlearn all of those behaviors the others (including himself still bc hes a giant hypocrite) couldnt unlearn. Damian is still young enough to unlearn them quicker than the others can

and listen, this may all be stemming from me wanting the ultimate hurt/comfort with this shit, Bruce not noticing one of the (18+) kids is sick and all the other siblings jump to help care for and defend that one ill person.

cause its nice. you get the hurt from Bruce being oblivious and get to use the line "worlds greatest detective my ass".

and then you get the comfort of family caring for each other/significant other caring for sad and sick batkid whos upset that Bruce didn't notice.

yeah shut up ive read a fic like this before, and yeah it was fucking fantastic actually, but still this is true regardless!!!

anywasy, again please do not come for me if this all sounds dumb as fuck and is completely incorrect for some reason, im superstoned and autistic and this is what my brain decided to fuck around with tonight.

[the-acid-pear]

For the character fandom ask game.

What is the Character you relate to the most?

God, in general? That's a good question. I think that honestly changes a lot depending on which era of my life I'm facing. But I'll go fetch my old carrd because there's a little secret there that might answer your question...

New guy at work made the mistake of mentioning Jojo and I proceeded to spend the next thirty minutes explaining parts 1-6 to him

[spooky-something]

Victor is your average autistic gifted child who doesn't realize that just because you're good academically, does NOT mean your ass can understand social cues and know how to handle anything outside of that circle of expertise

The problem with Victor Frankenstein isn't that he's not as smart as he thinks he is. The problem with Victor Frankenstein is that he's exactly as smart as he thinks he is in one very specific area, and he just expects that to automatically translate to every other area of his life and is taken completely by surprise every single time it doesn't.

[cringelordofchaos]

I think someone from school just called me autistic
