A Not-So-Disastrous Romance (Book 1) Chapter Twenty

Kusuo Saiki x Reader

Chapter Twenty: Crepes and Breaks

Summary: Saiki gets to make sweets, and his luck turns as his receiver breaks.

            “Are you ready to make crepes, Kusuo?” asked (Y/N), tying their cherry and strawberry themes bandana and apron on.

            “In today’s training, we will be making crepes,” said Coach Niwayama. “I don’t know how to cook, but I have the recipe!”

            “I like his apron,” said (Y/N), chuckling at the teddy bears on his.

            “Better than Kaidou’s,” said Saiki, looking dubiously at the skulls across Kaidou’s grey apron.

            “So, what are we looking to put together today?” said (Y/N).

            “Crepes are good on their own, but they go well with whipped cream, chocolate, and fruit. Can we add those to it?” said Saiki, much more energetic than he ever was in school (which meant that he was willing to be involved in activities. His face didn’t show anything).

            “Alright!” Nawayama passed out the recipe cards. “Let’s get cooking!”

            Saiki looked at Kaidou and Hairo arguing across from him. He was grateful to have (Y/N) in his group because they understood sweets better than anyone else he knew, so hopefully that would balance out whatever Kaidou and Hairo inevitably messed up.

            “Let’s do our best together,” said Hairo excitedly.

            “Right,” said Kaidou.

            “First we need to break two eggs,” said (Y/N). “Make sure to keep the shell from falling in.”

            “Got it,” said Saiki, lifting up two eggs.

            “Wait, Saiki, let me crack them!” said Kaidou. He took the eggs eagerly. “I can crack them with one hand.”

            “Kaidou, don’t—”

            Egg shell fell into the bowl, and (Y/N) slapped a hand over their face.

            “Shoot! The shell fell in!” cried Kaidou.

            “You should have used two hands!” said Hairo, pulling another egg apart. Yolk and shell fell out.

            (Y/N) sighed. Apparently, Hairo and Kaidou weren’t good at cooking. Saiki almost glowered at them as they began to ruin his chance to eat crepes (especially since Kuboyasu and Nendou were doing so well).

            While Kaidou and Hairo began to look in confusion at the next instruction (and poor Saiki watched), (Y/N) picked out a bowl and cracked two eggs perfectly.

            “Next, pour in some flower. How much is ‘some?’ ” asked Kaidou.

            “I don’t know,” said Hairo.

            “For now, let’s add three pinches,” said Kaidou.

            “Flour’s not seasoning,” said Saiki, trying to stop them.

            (Y/N) shook their head in amusement and poured flour into their own bowl.

            “Let’s see…What’s next,” said Kaidou.

            “Kaidou is being too cautious,” said Saiki, pouring more flour into their bowl.

            “Add some sugar,” murmured Hairo. “What’s ‘some?’ ”

            “These aren’t very clear instructions,” said (Y/N). “Desserts need exact measurements.” They measured the amount they needed and poured it into their bowl.

            “What are you doing?” said Saiki, glancing at them.

            “Don’t you worry, Kusuo. Just keep an eye on them so they don’t poison themselves,” chirped (Y/N).

            Indeed, there was a worry of that as Hairo and Kaidou poured an extravagant amount of sugar into the bowl. Who knew what else they’d add too much or too little of next.

            “This is bad,” said Saiki, trying to fish out some of the sugar. Unfortunately a whole stick of butter was thrown in, next, ruining his attempt to fix things.

            “Since it says ‘some,’ that should be enough, right?” said Kaidou.

            Oh, dear, this really could’ve been avoided with measurements, thought (Y/N), cutting and setting the butter to melt.

            “Oh, no, we didn’t melt it!” said Hairo.

            “Can we just microwave it?” said Kaidou, already setting the metal bowl into the microwave.

            “Good idea!” said Hairo.

            “I’m not going to bother to try to stop this.”

            There was a flash, and the microwave sparked itself to death. As Nawayama began to yell at Kaidou and Hairo, Saiki tried to remake the crepes they were currently failing at ((Y/N) continued with their work so that they’d have something to fall back on).

            “I didn’t know that we couldn’t put metal in the microwave,” said Kaidou as he slouched back to the table.

            “What should we do?” said Hairo, looking at their disgusting bowl of…something.

            (Y/N) looked in. “Maybe exorcise it?”

            “It looks like a breakfast from Hell,” agreed Saiki.

            “I hate to waste it, but we should probably throw it away,” said Hairo.

            “I guess we have to,” said Kaidou, sadly gazing at his monstrous creation.

            “Give it to me.” Mera held out a hand towards the food (if it could still be called that). “If you’re going to throw it away, give it to me.”

            “Mera, if you get possessed, it’s on you,” said (Y/N), looking concernedly at the contents of the bowl.

            “Okay!” Mera was fine with that if she could get food, and she grabbed the bowl and ran away.

            “Okay, let’s pull ourselves together and start over,” said Hairo.

            “It will go perfectly this time!” said Kaidou.

            Just as long as they don’t try to grab my bowl, thought (Y/N), happily mixing. They were fine with getting involved with their friends’ mishaps in any other situation, but cooking was the one thing (Y/N) really loved, so if someone messed up their work, they would be very disappointed.

            “Here.” Saiki had already remixed the ingredients, knowing Hairo and Kaidou were so behind in their group.

            “Wow!” said Hairo.

            “Did you make this, Saiki? Not bad,” said Kaidou.

            “ ‘Not bad?’ ” Saiki had done way more than “not bad.”

            “Not bad at all,” agreed Nendou, looking over.

            “Of course it is, we’re the ones who made it,” said Kaidou.

            “It was me who made it,” corrected Saiki.

            “We put our blood, sweat, and tears into it!” cried Hairo.

            “That wouldn’t taste good,” chirped (Y/N).

            “You haven’t even gotten to the hard part yet,” said Nendou.

            “What? One of the microwaves has already been destroyed,” said Kaidou incredulously.

            “If it becomes harder, the whole classroom will explode,” said Hairo.

            “Watch and learn,” said Nendou. He held up a pan. “First, lightly coat the pan with oil.”

            “When do you pour the batter in?” asked Kaidou.

            “Pour it in the center, like this,” said Nendou, showing them.

            “Won’t it be too thick?” asked Kaidou.

            “That’s why you spread it evenly,” said Nendou, demonstrating.

            “Wow, Nendou really does know how to make crepes,” said (Y/N), a bit surprised but pleased. Their own crepes were going well, too.

            “The one time I avoided having him in my group was the time I needed him,” said Saiki.

            (Y/N) laughed, and Saiki’s annoyance subsided a bit as their joy. That made the situation better, even if it was still exhausting to see Kaidou and Hairo so obviously clueless as they kept asking Nendou for clarification.

            “Amazing!” cried Kaidou as Nendou flipped the crepes effortlessly.

            “Well, good luck, guys!” said Nendou, returning to his group.

            “Shut up, we don’t need your help,” lied Kaidou even after he asked so many questions.

            “The flipping part seems hard,” observed Hairo.

            “Use a spatula to flip them,” said (Y/N). They smiled. “Flipping in the air is more advanced.”

            “Let’s be safe and do that,” said Hairo.

            “If we do that, Nendou wins,” said Kaidou. He spread the batter, waited a moment, and threw it in the air.

            “No, Kaidou!” cried Hairo dramatically.

            It flopped onto Nawayama’s head, and Kaido fell to his knees as the teacher began chewing him out. Kaidou slouched back with his head hung low while Hairo organized another crepe.

            “I’ll try it with the chopsticks,” said Hairo.

            “That will go better,” said (Y/N), fiddling in the stores of the room to try to find some fruit.

            Hairo and Kaidou looked at the browning crepe.

            “Isn’t that enough?” asked Kaidou.

            “No,” said Hairo.

            “Are you sure?” said Kaidou as it turned dark brown.

            “Not yet,” said Hairo.

            “It’s burning.” Saiki had lost another chance at crepes.

            “It needs to get hotter!” cried Hairo.

            Finally, he flipped it. Again, it looked like a monster with a skull face burned in. Hairo hung his head, and while he looked down sadly, Mera sidled up and stole the pan. (Y/N) let her go since she had handled the last batch well enough.

            “We have no choice but to leave it to Saiki and (L/N),” said Kaidou.

            “No, Mera!” cried Hairo, running towards their remaining batter as Mera downed it in a moment.

            Saiki went blank with Kaidou. Their batter was all gone because they’d been too lenient with letting Mera enjoy what they made before they had a chance.

            “You’re out of batter?” said Nendou, turning around. “Well, I guess I can share some of my crepes.”

            Saiki turned around with a true smile. “Nendou, I knew you could do it when all else fails.”

            “Did you?” laughed (Y/N) as they finished cutting strawberries.

            “Take a look at the Nendous’ special tuna salad crepes!” said Nendou.

            Saiki, Kaidou, and Hairo made disgusted faces. That…did not sound like a good combination with the sweetness of crepes.

            “No need, Nendou,” said (Y/N), smiling. “You can enjoy yours.” They held out the plate they had finished putting together. “We’ve got our own.”

            Hairo, Kaidou, and even Saiki’s eyes sparkled as they gazed at the crepes with chocolate and strawberries.

            “You made these for us?” said Kaidou, eyes wide.

            “Even as we messed up…” Tears came to Hairo’s eyes.

            (Y/N) smiled and waved a hand. “Of course. You guys worked hard. Enjoy.”

            Kaidou and Hairo excitedly took a crepe each and began to eat. Saiki stepped up and took his own.

            “You saved the day,” said Saiki.

            (Y/N)’s cheeks warmed. “I like crepes, too, so it was a little self-serving.”

            “Maybe, but you’re always too selfless anyways,” said Saiki.

            “You think so?” said (Y/N).

            “You watch out for everyone else,” said Saiki. They looked out for him most of all, always ready to help. “You should take care of yourself.”

            “I’ll try,” said (Y/N). They gazed at him warmly. “But who else is going to look after the people I care about if not me?”

            Saiki’s heart stuttered. He was someone they cared about. He found himself smiling as he took a bite of his crepe.

            “Still. Let us look out for you.”

            “Don’t worry, Kusuo. I know you have my back.” (Y/N) spoke with complete confidence even though Saiki regularly disliked having to help his friends (acquaintances and nuisances, he would argue).

            But they were right. Saiki would always look out for (Y/N). Always.

l

            Saiki looked at his hand, pleased with himself for having gotten so far with controlling his abilities. Now he had more control and returning a baseball to someone wouldn’t present a problem (and he wouldn’t accidentally take anyone’s head off). Still, he couldn’t remove either of his receivers, otherwise he would lose control again. The dampeners made sure his powers were manageable.

            Wham!

            A baseball slammed into the side of his head.

            Seriously. Again?

            He picked it up and threw it down. Instead, the baseball went flying into the stratosphere. Saiki stared at his hand in alarm.

            What just happened? I used the same amount of strength as before!

            He reached up and felt one of his receivers. The ball on top was gone. He looked down and saw it at his feet.

            I need to repair this.

            He took a step forward, but the force of it sent him flying forward, and he accidentally kicked the pink ball. It disappeared into the horizon.

            This is bad. This is really bad.

            Anything he did would result in destruction and danger. He was stuck.

            It’s too dangerous for me to return home like this. Saiki took of the remaining bit of the receiver. I will use my ability to reset objects to repair it. He focused and let the ability work. Turn back time! This should solve the issue.

            …

            It didn’t. Saiki stared at the pieces of the receiver, restored to when they hadn’t been put together as a machine. He had reverted time too much because of his abilities being out of control.

            I can’t use this! I will have to use my telepathy to tell my parents to pick me up.

            Unfortunately for Saiki, his telepathic ability was also off the charts. He couldn’t distinguish anyone’s voice from the other. Foreign languages had joined the mess of thoughts in Saiki’s head.

            He groaned, holding his head, and leaned against a wall. It crumbled, and he fell through. Lying on the ground, he stared up at the sky. He needed to get somewhere safe. But where? He didn’t know if his parents were home, and he had nowhere else to go.

            Saiki sighed. If only (Y/N) was here, they’d have a solution—

            His teleportation reacted instantly to the thought, and he disappeared from the lawn.

            Saiki groaned as he collapsed in a new room. Looking around, he found himself in a kitchen he’d been in a few times but remembered by heart.

            “Kusuo?!” cried a worried voice, and (Y/N)’s face came into his sight as they crouched beside him.

            His teleportation had brought him right to them. Oh, dear, even his abilities were influenced by his crush on them.

            “What happened to you?” asked (Y/N), looking at him with pure concern.

            If Saiki wasn’t in distress, he’d be flattered and a bit flustered by the way they were gazing at him, but as it was, he really needed help.

            “My receiver broke,” said Saiki.

            “Your—oh, your bobble?” said (Y/N), noticing the pieces in his hand.

            “Yes. I can’t control my powers.”

            (Y/N)’s forehead creased in worry. “How can I help?”

            “I need my parents,” said Saiki.

            “Alright. Don’t worry, Kusuo. I’ll get them,” said (Y/N), smiling at them.

            Saiki had no doubt; (Y/N) was the kindest and most loyal person he knew.

            He watched from the ground as (Y/N) headed to the phone and checked the phonebook for his house number.

            “Hello?” said (Y/N). “Mrs. Saiki? Hi, yes, it’s (Y/N). Kusuo’s here. His, uh, receiver, I think, the thing on his head, it broke.”

            Saiki faintly heard his mom yelling in panic.

            “He’s alright.” (Y/N) glanced at Saiki. “He’s just lying on my floor. Yeah, my address is…”

            Saiki closed his eyes as (Y/N) told his parents. They were coming. They’d have a solution to this.

            I just hope it doesn’t involve him.

l

            After school the next day, (Y/N) sighed and set their bag down on a chair before going to get a snack. They didn’t bother saying they were home—their parents were still out on another business trip—so they quietly went about their business. They wished Saiki was feeling better so they could’ve grabbed a snack with him, but he had been out sick from school that day, so his receiver obviously wasn’t fixed yet.

            Maybe I should go over to his house and check on him, thought (Y/N).

            Ring!

            The phone rang, and (Y/N) walked over to answer it. They furrowed their brow as they saw a foreign number. That was unusual. Still, (Y/N) didn’t hesitate to answer it (look, it’s the Saiki K universe. What harm could come to them?)

            “Hello?” said (Y/N).

            “Hello, is this (Y/N) (L/N)?” said an unfamiliar voice.

            “Uh-huh, who is this?” said (Y/N).

            “This is Kusuke Saiki,” said the voice. “I’m Saiki’s brother.”

            “…Kusuo has a brother?” (Y/N) blinked. They had no idea he had a brother; he’d never mentioned it. Not that he would. This is Kusuo.

            Little did they know, Kusuke was carefully storing the fact that they used Saiki’s first name away.

            “Yes, he does. Of course he doesn’t talk about me. I’m nothing special. But if you don’t believe me, you can look me up,” said Kusuke.

            “No, I believe you.” Really, (Y/N) did. “Is Kusuo alright? Is his receiver fixed?”

            Kusuke stored their knowledge of his powers away. “Almost! He’s coming to London to visit me. I was thinking of surprising him with some of his friends. Would you be to coming?”

            “Coming to London?” said (Y/N) incredulously.

            “It’s the weekend,” said Kusuke.

            “…I don’t know you,” pointed out (Y/N).

            “Nendou and Kaidou agreed to go,” said Kusuke.

            Well, someone should look out for them. “…Alright.” Hey, as long as this wasn’t a giant scam, (Y/N) would get to check on Saiki and make sure he was doing well.

            “Perfect,” said Kusuke. All the pieces of his plan had fallen into place

Tiger Lily and Strawberry Crepe are my favorites. But how do you keep track of everything? It's so interesting and cool. I have to use Google slides so I can keep a consistent reference :/ and is there like a site you use to record the sagas? Do we get the written timeline of what's been revealed? (Sorry I have so many questions. It's just so cool and I love your art style and really like this au and storytelling)

ty!! im a little embarrassed to admit this, but most of this planning has been entirely within my head :’D save for a few ramblings I’ve done to friends on discord lol, but I’ve been planning to jump on putting things in a miro whiteboard so I can better figure out how things progress and keep track of characters! for your third question, you probably will once I figure out what the full timeline looks like, but that won’t be for a long time I’m afraid. at least there are bits and pieces of the chronology to pick up

have a tiger lily! i’d been meaning to draw her for a while anyway lol

FENDI PRINCE; BOY MEETS WORLD

In which Bang Chan and Florentina were the talk at the Fendi Men’s Winter-Fall Show.

February 26 2025 (5:00PM)

Stray Kids member Bang Chan has officially completed his first task as a newly minted Fendi ambassador by attending the brand's fall-winter 2025 coed show in Milan Fashion Week, which celebrated the house's 100th anniversary.

On Feb. 26, 2025, Bang Chan stole the show, arriving at Fendi's iconic HQ in Milan's Via Solari 35 rocking an all-cream 'fit with an off-the-shoulder light knit worn over a sandy camel color tank top with white trims. He rounded off the look with long crepe pants and white sneakers. Aside from the peek of the tank, the only other element breaking up his monochrome look was his black Fendi bag, which he carried like a clutch.

After making his MFW debut with the brand during the spring-summer 2025 season, Bang Chan was announced as a Fendi ambassador on Jan. 16, 2025. Even before landing on Italian soil, the star was already in a Fendi mood. On Feb. 25, Bang Chan was spotted departing from Incheon Airport wearing a matching denim jacket and pants from the brand, which he paired with a white tee and white platform sneakers. As far as accessories go, he rocked a black baguette messenger bag with a cute WolfChan Skzoo pendant attached to it and long silver earrings.

What fans didn’t expect was to see a familiar face alongside Bang Chan at the Fendi Show. Florentina was spotted with the Fendi Prince holding hands. Fans were happy to see her attend the show and support her bf. At first Florentina received the invitation but had almost declined it, until the Fendi Director reached out to her and Bang Chan and persuaded her to attend the show she’s a royal guest.

Flora’s outfit consisted of a Brown twill dress from Fendi. She paired with sneakers to walk around the airport comfortably. She wore her hair down letting her curls fall on her face. She carried around her SKZOO but what caught fans eye was the wolfchan she had hugging her SKZOO on her purse. The dispatch lady asked her is Wolfchan hugging Tina? To which Flora shyly replied yes and smiled big.

When arrived at the show, Florentina was seen in a quite modern: a high slit wrap skirt. The ankle-length design featured draped detailing across the front and one (yes, one) button closure holding everything together. She styled the statement piece with a matching crop top that flashed her toned abs. She went with simple champagne stilettos, a nude Fendi Peekaboo soft bag, and clear avant-garde glasses. The dancer wore her hair in a half-up, half-down style.

Royalty had long been associated with these two ambassadors and some photographers even expressed feeling a sense of admiration when catching their first glance of the couple walking onto the carpet.

Photography Credits; @/Fendi on Instagram

The members who unfortunately could not attend conveyed respect and pride for their leader and their noona through comments on Instagram in which they made sure that fans were aware of just how much work went on behind the scenes, most ending their lengthy speeches with tears - showcasing the genuine love tying these idols together.

The timing for Bang Chan to attend Fendi's momentous fall fashion show certainly does feel like a perfectly planned miracle, as it fits within a small gap between Stray Kids' <dominATE> world tour stops. The octet played two stops in Hong Kong in January, followed by three SKZ 5'CLOCK fan meeting stops in South Korea earlier this month. Before they resume their tour in Latin America in March, there's room for some more Stray Kids fashion month moments — and we will be keeping our eyes peeled.

hi lee!! i saw someone pair army dreamers (kate bush) /w himeko. and you are the most honkai pillled person i know;; so I thought you’d probably appreciate it and be able to understand it (and. be sick over it) a lot more than me.

I hope you have very very nnice day 💜

HI I HAVE THOUGHTS ON THIS FIRST BEING THAT YEAH. MY GOD YEAH THAT IS SUCH A HIMEKO SONG YEAH....

as you know, one of my favorite ways to analyze himeko is through an anti-military lens. several things i like about this:

fits in w moon shadow and that doctor's guilt over sending children to the battlefield, thus creating a story w anti-entropy and schicksal about military. schicksal deals with so much exploitation ofc but the ones most relevant to this are its use of valkyries as warriors and how the artificial stigmata they are given will eventually corrupt their body and kill them + the fact that valkyries can only biologically be young + common themes of like. romanticizing heroship and martyrdom to an extent which are extremely common in military propaganda + otto's ulterior motivations that he used schicksal for.

adds layers into her backstory w her believing her father actually loved her more than his work and applying to his field after welt lied to spare her feelings..... Fuck. my god. do you see........ footprints of a father............... himeko being used as a tool by her father to get closer to welt for his own gain................

the way it fits in w kiana and mei's story when it comes to sacrifice. <- obviously not to a t. their conflict is more about watching someone you care for make difficult decisions with potentially difficult outcomes and supporting them because its something they truly genuinely believe in w their entire heart.

makes particular lines like this particularly interesting: Fu Hua: Sacrifices are inevitable in the war against the Honkai. Fu Hua: You know that better than I, Major. Showing mercy to the wrong people can be disastrous. Himeko: You have no idea what “sacrifices are inevitable” even means. Himeko: The tragedy is not how many people have died… Himeko: …But how we’ve grown accustomed to the idea that people must die for others to live. ^ particularly kills me bc i think it demonstrates what hi3's commentary on sacrifice is! hi3 isn't really making a moral stance on sacrifice imo. i think it moreso tries to examine how we think of sacrifice and how we're weirdly desensitized to it (again, text above + this one particular interaction on kiana's first mission where himeko explains the protocol that if any of them are corrupted, their teammates are expected to kill them without mercy) and the motivations behind sacrifice (of course much of it coming from a love and want to make the world better, but theres also this theme against sacrifice being someone's duty and sacrifice as a product of someone's own guilt.) hi3 makes a point to distinguish those types of sacrifices versus an action born out of a genuine and deep love and understanding of the world and it's beauty (particularly present in, of course, elysia; kiana; himeko; and ragna*)

*from chapter 25. himeko quoting ragnba:

Himeko: “We fight for the good in this world and things we deem important.” Himeko: “They may seem small, insignificant, but that’s only because they are seeds.” Himeko: “These seeds that are destined for something good will one day blossom and thrive into a beautiful garden.” Himeko: “So, don’t cry for me, comrades.” Himeko: “I have died, but my death will fertilise the soil that grows hope.” Himeko: “And the flowers of the future will one day find something they want to protect.”

OMG. UR SO RIGHT FOR THIS. I ABSOOLUTELY NEED TO DRAW. NOWWW

this is my best creation

i present to you: strawberrysuo (and blueberry teruhashi)

OK, so this has been on my mind for a while since I saw the babysitting the young cookies post, so, imagine Y/N babysitting strawberry crepe, like Y/N went along with the gingerbrave gang, but then found strawberry crepe after they were defeated by gingerbrave and friends, so Y/N decided to cheer them up, and then decided to stay with them and check that they don't make any more problems with the waffle bots (Sorry if it's quite confusing, and ty if ya decide to make the request)

Tell the gang that you would stay behind to watch over Strawberry Crepe Cookie, everyone was surprised, especially them! Why would you want to stay, especially after that?

You assure them it's because you saw how lonely they were and how you wanted to just be friends. That, and the unspoken part of making sure they don't cause any trouble.

Strawberry Crepe Cookie enjoys how you actually listened whenever they're explaining things. It feels nice, knowing there's someone who cares.

They really hope you stay their friend. It's a lot of fun having someone to talk to.

why strawberry crepe cookie is very autistic coded

by: yours truly, an autistic person who happens to like the pink cookie a lot! 🌸

the chart above is what i will be using as a base for some of the behaviors they express. though i'm letting you guys know beforehand that autism looks different in everyone (obviously) and that some traits might be influenced by traumatic events in your early years of life (like what happens with Crepe.)

most of the information has been taken from canon events and stories, and some other things are just based on my own interpretation of their dialogue and the few things we know about their backstory!

we will go in parts, describing each tab in as much detail as i possibly can ...

that being said, sit the fuck down, grab some snacks, and listen to me ramble about the little pink cookie, because that's what autism made ME do. some people solve math problems, i talk about my little pink thing while i rotate them around in my head like a microwave.

before i start: spoiler warning for pretty much everything regarding Strawberry Crepe Cookie and cookie odyssey.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

i. fixations -

the fixations tab is the easiest thing to explain from this mess, since it's most of their character: robotics!Crepe shows a high interest in wafflebots! being pretty much one of the few things they talk about freely (and something they're very passionate about as a whole) and being something that takes up most of their day and routine.

there are many parts where they start rambling about the bots, being most noticeable during the cookie odyssey (they have many of these moments during their parts of the story! 🎶)

(they also seem to be messy as mentioned by Clotted Cream Cookie at some point in odyssey, unless it comes to their tools! which is. something i relate to deeply lmao. i find organizing my clothes and things pretty boring, but i enjoy organizing my art supplies for example. relaxing activities ~ i'm not sure if it IS part of a fixation but i still think it deserves a spot.)

🌸🌸🌸

ii. noise sensitivity -

this is also easy to explain: they don't like noise. one of their "default phrases" is. just that. them complaining about the noise (and mentioning that their bots are more quiet, once again tying things back to their special interest/hyperfixation.)

and this new comment from the spring 2023 event.

🌸🌸🌸

iii. aggression -

while also having canon arguments to back up this one, it can't really be used as a way to say "oh Crepe is autistic". why? because crepe has gone through trauma and was exposed to violence as a fairly young kid, specially since it wasn't really explained to them that what they did was wrong.

they are aggressive, having threatened others before ... but is it an autistic thing, or just a trauma response of some sort? i can't really tell, honestly. so i'm going to replace it with:

🦄🌸 the inability to properly identify their own emotions, something i've struggled with since i was just a little guy !!!! 🌸🦄

(or, in proper terms, i think it's called alexithymia! if this is wrong i will correct myself.)

when Pure Vanilla mentioned the time period they were alone (or with DE) they responded with: "well ... it WAS boring!"

boring, a word that seems to be quite common in their vocabulary and mine (especially as a kid, we're talking a 5-8 y/o child who struggled to properly identify their emotions and was pretty disconnected from them)

i remember always complaining of boredom, and i sometimes still mix boredom with sadness, understimulation ... you call it.

and the fact that they used the word "boring" to describe a (definitely) traumatic period of their life is. quite interesting to me!

were they truly bored, or were they sad? anxious? scared ...?

and then, once again, in the spring 2023 event, we get more of that:

it happens after the group of kids they're playing with don't listen to their attempts of communicating their discomfort and stress over the situation they're in, Crepe was trying to communicate that they weren't happy with the noise they were making and the fact that everyone was walking in different directions. (and one of the kids was being particularly hyperactive too)

so, they lashed out.

pretty self-explanatory. Crepe also isn't very good at expressing and controlling their negative emotions.

so yeah! back to the ACTUAL chart now ...

🌸🌸🌸

iv. social difficulty -

yeah, another obvious one. they struggle with socializing and seem to prefer the company of their robots and small crowds. (or older people, they seem to be a lot more nicer around Espresso. like in the christmas 2022 story)

not much to say, their socializing skills may also be affected by their trauma. (they were frozen for years as a child, abandoned by their village and then by Dark Enchantress, leading to a pretty lonely life before the events of chapter 9 and odyssey)

but i do think they're genuinely just an awkward little kid, and that's fine! they're learning at their own pace as i've mentioned in another post :)

🌸🌸🌸

v. speech pattern -

... it may be me, but their way of speaking is different of the way kids around their age express themselves usually, so i say they got an abnormal speech pattern.

they use big words and know what they mean, end of the speech tab. i don't know how a normal person speaks so i can't really say "this was supposed to be abnormal speech? but I speak like that!"

🌸🌸🌸

vi. depression / anxiety -

the depression and anxiety tab are mainly based on headcanons i branched out based on their backstory, but they may be enforced by their crunchy dreams story and their fortune: "you're not alone: love surrounds you."

it's probably not related to autism, though. it's probably because of their trauma and abandonment issues. either way it's there.

to need reassuring in something like this means that they probably cling compulsively to certain thoughts/beliefs.

which, if i remember correctly, is a thing that sometimes happens with autistic people according to other autistic people. it's like a weird fixation of sorts, i'm not 100% sure ...

the only time(s) i've seen them have some sort of anxious behavior is during their battle speech, where they panic after losing to Gingerbrave's team.

then during the spring event of 2023, where they say that they "can't think straight" because of the noise Pancake Cookie is making.

🌸🌸🌸

i'm not sure if they got any tics and fidgets, i haven't noticed anything that can classify as such, so it's one of the lowest tabs.

same with the abnormal posture. and if they got it is probably because of the being frozen thing weakening their body to an extent.

🌸🌸🌸

in conclusion! after tumblr deleted part of my post from my drafts ... _(:3」 ∠)_

i wholeheartedly believe Crepe might be an autistic coded character, whether or not is something the writers intended to do isn't clear to me, but they show SO many traits that i wouldn't be surprised if they canonically were! most of the things i mentioned are also based from my own experience and the bits i can remember form my own childhood as an undiagnosed kid, but yeah!

i hope you enjoyed this painfully long rant <3 i might make one eventually about how i think Crepe might also be physically disabled (implied), but for now, have this.

okay bye i can't post more pictures because the app sucks.
