Happy Autism Month! Saw a post about monsters and nondivergence, so I thought I'd share this theme in my life, lol. Love to all those who are just finding their way to their found family. As of posting this I am a few episodes into Delicious Dungeon and it's so good!

[flaresanimedump]

Ok so. I was gonna make a post that Ranpo technically didn't go to school. So I went to look at the Origins novel and I checked the raw because of all the omissions in the TL (Ranpo was kicked out of the police academy 6 months before the start of the plot not "less than a year ago" it's very explicitly 半年 "half year"). And uh. Well so on that topic they kicked him out when he was 13, but a police academy isn't considered a real school in Japan so while his education in Japanese language continued he didn't have the core subjects from the age of 12 on. But also.

The English line when Ranpo talks about the school is: "The rules were a pain in the ass. Don’t leave the dorm after curfew, no buying sweets, wear these clothes, follow these rules. And the classes bored me to death."

These are all relatively common restrictions for Japanese schools (snacking is only prohibited at stricter ones), though a couple of wording things stood out. One, the "pain in the ass" rules is 規則 (actually rules) and "follow these rules" is 規律 - ominously "discipline" (this line being more like "not to mention X, Y, Z, Z being the discipline). "Discipline" isn't "punishment," it just has a strictness vibe, but it's a creepy thing to say imo. I hear this and think Trunchbull from Matilda.

So I went to check out the Wikipedia page on "Police Academies" and I see "脱走及び逃走の防止" - "escape and escape prevention" which is an immediate red flag for any live-in institution. "Escape" could also be translated as "desertion" but what followed was a short paragraph saying "there's no barbed wire like a prison but coming and going is strictly controlled" so I'm going with "escape." Ranpo attended something like those kiddie marine bootcamps that were all the rage in the 2000s. I don't know about anybody else but growing up nondivergent camps like that were my absolute worst nightmare.

So I'm already Distressed at the thought of this - but thing about "no buying sweets" is it's age-focused. "No buying sweets" is like "no snacking" but it's specifically "[a child] buying and eating sweets [while away from home thus spoiling their appetite]." This is against the rules because "they should eat food prepared by their parents" and the,,, incredibly sad irony isn't lost on me there even though the academy was feeding him. Which begs the question: can you really train a 12 year old to become a detective?

So I went to the Japanese National Police Agency website because I wasn't sure what the age range for attendance at these schools was. And I found it.

Eighteen to thirty.

Ranpo lasted eighteen months in a military academy for eighteen to thirty year olds until they kicked him out.

*I'm not going to claim this is all 100% right since Japanese prefectures set the lower age limit at 18, which could mean Asagiri was just makin' shit up or there's some lesser-known police middle school that calls itself the exact same thing as the one for adults. You're only supposed to stay at them for 10 months so there's already some other suspect things here. But I think it's pretty on-brand for Ranpo to think college-level classes are boring. Also his dad was connected to the principal so he could probably bend the rules a little to get Ranpo admitted.

UPDATE: 10/4/24

So on the rewatch of the anime I noticed they did include a picture of the school behind Ranpo:

And unless slenderman was one of his classmates I assume they meant to imply that the school was, in fact, an actual middle school. This isn't clear in the books though so I'm not sure how canon I feel it is, especially when this is the memory right before:

And this is the one before that:

So in the anime there's an actual boy detective school, which could?? be a sort of reference to author Edogawa Rampo's Boy Detectives Club, though that was a club and not a full school. I feel it makes more sense that he'd been stuck almost entirely around adults after his parents died since that's his main focus throughout his story - if he'd been stuck around other kids for 1.5 years, why not say everyone is nuts? But anyway, at least in the anime it's a regular school.

One of those impressively bad “You went to woke you became a bigot” moments

I am so pissed off right now I’m practically shaking.  On a post about the show Wednesday someone said that the school for Outcasts should not have had supernatural creatures and children with powers in it but INSTEAD should have had disabled children, autistic children, indigenous children, and LGBTQ+ children and someone else AGREED with this... “Kind” and “progressive” person.  This is a very false version of being Woke.

Please tell me others understand what is inherently WRONG with this idea!  Please!  I say this as a visually impaired woman who who is not straight.  A segregated rural Gothic school for...  ethnically diverse, nondivergent, children with disabilities and LGBTQ+ children should not be treated the same way as a fictional depiction of werewolves, vampires, sirens, and gorgons.    Metaphorically sure, yes, fine.  But not literally.  You do NOT tell young lesbians or young trans kids or young autistic kids, or kids in wheelchairs that they belong to a category of literal Outcast that will never ever be accepted or loved by “normies.” When I was in kindergarten they wanted to send me to a school for children with visual impairments. There were teachers who tried to talk me into it and thought I’d “feel better among my own kind.”  This was in America in the 1980s.   

And now in 2022 I’m seeing people praising the “Good idea” to swap out the supernatural creatures of Wednesday with LGBTQ+ characters, characters with disabilities, and non-white characters as if that’s the same thing!

Here’s a thought- a genuine one, let the supernatural characters have those mundane / normal traits that you see in most high schools in America.   

And to those who want us in a school for outcasts fuck you.  Fuck you with something hard and sand papery.

[abbinurmel]

It is true. I know it isnt a trait just teens or neurodivergents alone have because plenty older and nondivergents do too. We are all collectively doing far better in our education about mental health and how to respect our/ others conditions with more sensitivity, but even while doing so, let us understand that even with things beyond our control sometimes, our words and actions DO BEAR AN EFFECT AND CONSEQUENCES and we should not necessarily always mask or pretend we can fundamentally be changed, but, we still need be respectful best as we can and show we understood whenever we abused someone's trust by mistake or made someone feel anger or discomfort without realizing it. You cannot just go thru life like you are the only POV playable game character and everyone else is just a prop NPC who has to react how you most wish, and then lash out whenever they did not have the same script. It just doesn't happen, not without the effort to attempt honesty and open communication in some way.

Really fucked up actually that the "you are valid" culture which, usefulness and uh, validity thereof aside, was intended to provide some some perspective for people who may have been blamed for harmless things they could not control morphed into "if strangers on the internet do not constantly tell me I'm good and perfect they are the oppressor" and "even constructively and gently telling me that I hold some power and responsibility to seek a better situation is an unspeakably cruel act."

[eroticcannibal]

Yanno - honestly? Those shipping fandom fuckers need to shut the fuck up. ON BOTH SIDES. Like, honestly, fuck both parties because I stg, they are so terminally grounded in fantasy they fucking don't know when to separate their stupid make believe arguments from real life shit.

Here is you, talking about how you are tired and fed up of hate-anons involving YOUR REAL LIFE CHILD in their violent fantasies because of their Contempt Towards You. Those people will never be safe around real children because anger and hatred towards a person are very real reasons child abusers have chosen to abuse a child.

You have EVERY RIGHT to talk about how Those People need to fuck of and that there's More Wrong with Them than you because they think you being disabled, nondivergent, queer, kinky/sexually active (WITH YOUR GF), use your child's nickname & pronouns, homeschooling, AND refuse to divulge further and inherently more private information about your child (I've been following you long enough to remember how such "but think of the children! we must protect the children" anon were obsessed and upset when you would not discuss your child's agab or name with them) makes you "unsafe" around your kid because they're "clearly safer"...

And those fandom fucks look at that and decide, "How can I make this about my blorbos? How can I take these very real problems against real people, with real harassment of violent fantasies involving real children, and use it for my side about what two fake and unreal characters from fictional writings should and shouldn't be shipped together?"

Read. The. Fucking. Room.

(Sorry, I'm very angry with how your discussion of real behavior towards real children was entirely derailed by stupid fake fictional bullshit. Anyone who participated in that should be fucking ashamed of themselves. So detached from reality you cannot even understand the gravity of the situation because for once it involves real people!)

Agree 100% and the disregard for real shit (yes on both sides, I know I tolerate more proshippers than antis but I've seen how plenty of ppl behave and I am not picking a fucking side) is why I just can't stand this discourse. Like cool I know fandom is important but GOD shut up for 5 minutes please. There are real life things that I care far more about.

And it happens on so many posts. Anything important will get derailed with bullshit fiction discourse eventually. I'm tired of it. Between making this shit about kid shipping and every fucker making the loss of trans rights in the UK some fandom shit I am gonna unplug tumblr until ppl can BEHAVE.

The thing about Happiest Season (and it’s not the lesbians)

So as many of us wlw I had huge expectations for this movie, especially because the trailers where the cutest thing ever. In hindsight I should have expected less, or nothing. And I’m not here to talk about the lesbians (my favourite is Riley, than Abbey, than Harper, for undisclosed reasons) but about Jane. 

For those of you who haven’t watched the movie and are here just for the lolz – Jane is Harper’s older excentric nerdy sister, she still lives at home and her many quirks and interests seem to make everyone around her either ignore her, laugh at her or downright dismiss her. At first I found it amusing, not gonna lie, but with every additional scene I felt more and more uncomfortable.

Why? Because Jane seems very nondivergent-coded (they never specify any diagnosis or anything like that, so “coded”, not just neurodivergent outright) and her family treats her like shit, actually the only people who are not horrible to her are our outsiders (Abbey and John). (And even if she wasn’t neurodivergent, that doesn’t change the fact she is lowkey bullied the whole damn time.) 

And yet it seems like the movie wants us to find this funny??? They never once acknowledge that this is not ok (or if they do, I must have blinked and missed it). She has that one speech about not being ignored anymore but like... good for her but the people around her didn’t do shit.

Am I overreacting?
