#hermes: is malnourished bc he forgets to eat enough; and his main staple food that he does eat consistently is his one (1) Favorite Snack

god you're so right. you're SO right. especially in light of this:

@hermeswol

a) i did not know this and oh my god. oh my god thank you for blessing us with this information. i die of him b) his autism grows more powerful by the second and i am DELIGHTED

like.... i've got a lot of thoughts in me about varying degrees of accuracy and intentionality in autistic rep that isn't named as such in the text, which is a whole complicated subject probably for another post. in summary though there are so many details with hermes where i'm just like, someone who created this character and his narrative is autistic, has at least one autistic person in their life and loves them very much, or both. i just keep on discovering more and more of them and this is yet another one for the pile. god i love hermes i am kissing him so much on the face forever

i love hermes' hairstyle because it is really obviously what you get when someone just cuts their hair off very short and then lets it grow out as is. he is a 'wait until it's in your eyes and then hack it all off again and start over' autistic, and we love that for him. the downside to this is that by the look of it he is about due for a haircut when we meet him in elpis, and the image of hermes with short hair is beyond too cursed to bear

#there's so many things. there's So Many Things#hermes: works himself way too hard w/o self-care because he's depressed and gets hyperfocused; a major aspect of which is not eating enough#me: yeah that's 'tisms alright#hermes: is malnourished bc he forgets to eat enough; and his main staple food that he does eat consistently is his one (1) Favorite Snack#which is not very nutritious on its own but hits the Good Brain Buttons enough for him to actually feel motivated to eat it#which is something he's going to absorb nutrients more efficiently from anyway because he Actually Enjoys It#and it is also notably extremely sugary for quick energy#and when the really truly extreme stress and depression kick in; which also killed his motivation to engage in his special interest#he not only stops getting anything out of that one consistent safe/staple food; he literally forgets it exists or that he liked it#me:#me: well *shit*#and that's just *one* thing there is so much more#anyway he fucks me up i love him so much#and i take back what i said in my previous tags hermes honey do whatever makes you comfortable#honestly i am kind of warming up to the buzzcut. in that context he would look cute in it. damn it#and this information was the best possible thing i could have woken up to first thing in the morning god bless#replies#thecottageinthedark#hermeswol#ffxivtag#FF tag#disordered eating cw#ffxiv hermes#fave
