Let’s take a look at this scene again.

I can almost guarantee that Makoto has never been told that he’s good at anything. I think he’s always tacitly understood that he’s a good brother, a good son, a good friend. But simply understanding something doesn’t make a person believe that they have value and I can tell you that Makoto doesn’t value himself. It’s a Steve Rogers Complex. He may be a good amazing man, but he knows all of his flaws acutely and that’s all he can focus on. He’s a scardey-cat. He doesn’t have any special skills. He’s too nice. He’s too boring. He does average in school. He certainly has no idea what he wants to do in life, and he’s a crowd-pleaser. This is how Makoto sees himself. He doesn’t see the wonderful, kind, sweet, selfless, loyal, gentle giant that he is. He assumes that he has no value and this is how he’s seen himself from childhood. 

This is a child who does everything for other people because he doesn’t believe that he himself is worth anything. Now imagine being best friends with a prodigy.

We’ve all had that one friend who is better than us at something. Better at drawing, singing, school, whatever. Remember how shitty you felt when you realized no matter how hard you work that you’ll never reach their level? That’s Mako. Now mix it with an immense guilt-complex and selfless love for Haru. Not only is he feeling like shit about himself, he’s confused, upset, and guilty about his feelings of jealousy because friends aren’t supposed to feel that way about friends. 

Makoto never processed those emotions, he just locked them away until they became unbearable (2 episodes ago). Makoto sees himself as a tool for other’s self-realization, so it’s inconceivable to him that he has talents; that he’s good, really goodat swimming.

Now imagine how he must feel when Rinsits down with him and tells him that he should be getting calls from scouts with his skill level.

Makoto was so focused his entire life on how amazing Haru and Rin were at swimming that he never realized his own talent. Now someone’s telling him that he may have a future, a professional future, that mind you, not everyone can achieve, in something he’s always seen himself as mediocre in. 

Makoto Tachibana is valuable. He is worth something. He is irreplaceable and must be loved within an inch of his life. This has been a PSA and I hope you’re all drowning in your tears like I am.

Every single pokemon character is autistic

Every single one. Like maybe there are some nts but only like one percent.

Evidence: - it is a social norm to not make eye contact unless you are going to battle - most trainers specialize in one type aka special interests - no small talk. It is acceptable to introduce yourself by talking about whatever the fuck is in your mind and then going straight into a battle - speaking of which, that youngster that says shorts are “comfy and easy to wear” totally has sensory issues that make him hate jeans - random ass npcs will infodump you on miscellaneous aspects of the game. That o-pin guy in x/y totally has o-pins as a special interest - all the player characters are partially nonverbal, they can usually only say “yes” and “no”, and they use scripts to order their pokemon in battle (names of moves and stuff like “the foe is weak! Get ‘em (pokemon name)!” No one finds anything notable about this or anything wrong with it - the reason battling is turn-based is because many/most people have slow processing time and it’s considered honorable to respect this and allow your opponent to time to think - the emphasis on collecting/trading and how it’s such a common hobby in that world. - Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of pokemon, is autistic - I’m sure there’s other evidence I’m forgetting

But basically this is canon and no one can convince me otherwise

When we talk about Latinx Representation we should ask ourselves, which Latinx? It’s interesting that, despite Jane the Virgin being about a Venezuelan family (played entirely by Puerto Rican actresses) and the Salazars on Fear the Walking Dead being Salvadorian (played by a Panamanian actor and a Swedish actress!), both stories are similar in that they are generically about “immigration.” But there’s nothing to make them specifically Venezuelan or specifically Salvadorian. Because to Hollywood, and to the average viewer, there’s no difference. Latinx are simply generic, interchangeable brownish people from that ever-nebulous part of the world that’s “South of the Border.” And don’t they all pretty much have the same story? Don’t they?

What is within me? Something swelling and cruel. A monster’s heaving chest, an empty space where a heart should rest. In me sits a wide abyss, something hollow and hungry. My ribcage is lined with teeth.
