Hello, just a blog were i post the random ideas that come into my sleep deprived, ADHD addled brain. These ideas will mostly be shitpost, out of contexts quotes, and fanwank, so enjoy!
I'm glad all the autistic folks are having a validating moment with Laios DungeonMeshi's whole "why didn't you tell me if you didn't like me, you should say what you mean instead of expecting me to read between the lines" thing. It's true, it's deserved.
But I think it's also significant that later in the same episode we have Shuro talking about what he loved about Falin and how he never expressed any of that. Laios is not great at social cues, but Shuro is also especially taciturn - he doesn't express his feelings or share his thoughts, he relies too much on people understanding what he means without him saying it.
I think it's important that both of their personalities were contributing to the misunderstanding there. And, fist fight aside, they could meet each other where they were once they finally communicated about it!
"why can't they just be friends" not in the homophobic way but in the "their platonic relationship in the source material is far more dynamic and complex than the sanitized personalities they gain as a result of shipping" way
