The way some of y'all talk about Luke Newton is just. . .I need this fandom to check itself with a swiftness, because the very thinly veiled ableism is ENOUGH. Like it is WILD to see, in the year of our lord 2024, people either actively infantalizing or talking down this grown man.

Calling Luke Newton stupid for behaviors that are just him displaying his Neurodivergence? Ableism. Saying it because it takes him longer to answer a question is ableism. Saying it because he said something 'incorrectly' or not as eloquently on the fly as his neurotypical costars? Ableism.

Saying he's boring because he's quiet or he doesn't talk as much (because he often needs more processing time and/or has anxiety to surmount) is ableism. Knitpicking his social media and how he doesn't interact as much with a fandom that has actively been cruel to him is ableism.

Assuming Luke is out here like some helpless little lamb clinging to Nicola because 'oh, she's his comfort person!' instead of recognizing that they both lean on and like each other? Is ableism. Saying he has a one sided infatuation with her BECAUSE he needs her as said comfort person is ableism. Essentially being all 'awwww, poor wee baby, he has anxiety so thankfully his neurotypical costar is there to pick up the slack!' is. ableism. You cannot in one breath say that Nicola's love language is touch but also that Luke is the only one ever reaching to hold her hand because he needs her to ground him. That's ableism.

They both like each other. They have a very close relationship and they both clearly admire the other and like to be around one another. To frame it as him being some inept toddler and her as his more capable caretaker and 'thank God he has her to give him the save' is ableism! That's ableism, babes!! And in many cases people don't recognize that's what they're taking part in, but that's what it is.

He is a grown man and a hell of an actor. Yes, he's quieter than some of his costars. Yes, he contemplates what he says in his mind before he says it, and it takes him some time to do so. Yes, he doesn't behave the way his neurotypical peers do. He doesn't have to. He won't- because he has a neurodivergent brain. And he shouldn't have to behave as a neurotypical person or an 'acceptable' neurodivergent person to have respect from people who claim to be his fans.

He's been outspoken and unapologetic about being a neurodivergent actor with ADHD and dyslexia and how that can contribute to difficulties in the current media machine. He has discussed his coping mechanisms. He has specifically done so because he knows how difficult it can be to be a neurodivergent person in the limelight, and he uses that spotlight to show other neurodivergent actors they can be successful, too. And people saw this openly neurodivergent man and said some mad out of pocket nonsense about him.

As the tour comes to a close, I just really need people to look back on their beliefs and viewpoints during it and do some reflection, because I am side-eying a LOT of takes that have gone largely uncontested.

have we considered that “argyle” is argyle’s last name & he’s been going by his last name as a nickname/people started calling him by his last name and it stuck?

Hi!! Ive been wondering about something... That line at the end of element where tsumugi says hes growing his hair for a reason and cant cut it till he fullfils his vow, do they ever adress that again? I've not read every single switch story... i was really curious about that, if you dont mind my asking you?

yes they do!! its directly referenced in Next Door!!

this is the only time outside of WG where its been directly stated hes growing it out for natsume iirc?? though in !-era most of natsumes jabs at tsumugis hair would be met with tsumugi being all "why are u being so mean!!!" in contrast to !!-era where tsumugi has caught on that natsume actually really likes his hair which i think is a really fun and cute development KAHJSFKJHKJ

EDIT: I JUST REALIZED THE STORY U LISTED WAS ELEMENT AND NOT WONDER GAME. SO HERES THE WONDER GAME SNIPPET LOL

ignore tsumugis image not loading i hurried over to get this ok

oh my god seeing rodydeku was such a jumpscare i used to be obsessed with them........

every now and then i clean my room, find my bnha collection, remember i have WHM on a usb stick, rewatch it, and get insane about dekus european boyfriend again. i dgaf about mha anymore i stopped reading it bc 1. i had more important things to spend my limited money on and 2. it got kinda boring. BUT the movies still hold up. thats because thesre finished storylines in themselves! anyway. rodydeku reblog spree is normal and happens regularly. i need to make a rody paper wig. and i need to find a deku cosplayer whos my age & also not fucking weird & also insane about rddk and nothing else

there's nothing that amazes (derogatory) me more than the fact that americans hear "taxes" and go on red alert but hear "tariffs" and think yay, the world is finally giving us what we deserve! NO. NO NO NO NO NO NO IF ONLY YOU KNEW WHAT TARIFFS WERE YOUR ABSOLUTE LACK OF SELFLESSNESS AND ACTIVE DESIRE FOR OTHERS TO SUFFER WOULD HAVE YOU RIOTING IN THE STREET

I recently tried to hint at a friend that I’m pretty certain I have adhd (didn’t mention how I also am pretty damn sure I’m also autistic bc ~scared~) my friend herself has adhd & her sibling is autistic. She immediately shut me down saying that my symptoms don’t automatically mean I have adhd. She also mentioned how she can always tell when someone else is also neurodivergent & she’s certain I’m not.

That cut deep but also made me mad at her. Instead of being supportive she made me feel like shit. & scared to ever mention it to anyone again (even tho I’ve done a shitton of research & when I began seeing more BIPOC autistic ppl talk about their experience I knew that was me)

sorry if this isn’t the space to say all this but your blog always brings me comfort so it’s ok if you’re not in a headspace to want to answer this. just felt like venting 🫶🏽

hi !!

i’ve seen a lot of neurodivergent people be extremely defensive and become gatekeepers whenever someone so much as mentions the possibility of them being neurodiverse (especially with adhd and autism) to them

i think that the whole social media trend of people “faking” being adhd or autistic has caused an extensive amount of damage to the neurodivergent community

this community is supposed to be a safe haven for all neurodivergent people, whether they’re self-suspecting, self-diagnosed, officially diagnosed or anything in-between, and sadly that has been tarnished by a few fakers

your friend probably is probably defensive for that reason, or because she might’ve had to fight really hard for her diagnosis and has become very protective over it and thus very aggressive towards you when you brought it up

i do encourage you to continue to try and interact with BIPOC autistic people more, although all autistic people essentially experience the same main traits and behaviors, depending on race, the way those traits and behaviors are received varies wildly

but overall you have a much better chance at having a positive exchange with another neurodivergent person online, rather than in-person, since you can purposely go into communities that you know are probably going to be more welcoming and offer some relatability

it’s very hard going to someone you know in-real-life about you being neurodivergent and just getting shot down completely, it can be super disheartening, but it’s important to remember that there are countless people that you’ve yet to meet that will create that safe space with you to share anything neurodivergent-related and have it be received positively

and thank you very much !! i’m glad that you find comfort here and i wish you much more of it with different places and people as well ❤️
