Hey y’all!! I posted the Tech / autism / The Crossing analysis in a frenzy at like 3am and had absolutely no idea it would do so well, but… here we are lmao! I‘ve had tumblr for a long time but I’m still very new to posting, interacting, mutuals etc, so please let me know / forgive me if this post is considered self-promo in a bad way—

This is a sideblog that I THOUGHT was just for spam and silly stuff nobody would see (lol), and now I’m kicking myself for not posting that on my main cause I’d love to make more friends in the TBB community and I won’t be active on this blog much anymore except for… reblogging gifs and shitposting mostly

So..! if you followed me on this blog and you are NOT a minor, you might consider heading over to my main blog/writing blog @cyarinka! It’ll be mostly xreader fics with some genfics as well, almost all of which will be pre-O66 for now

Ty again for all the love on the analysis post; it was so fucking heartwarming to see how many folks in this community felt seen and heard in ways they never had been before <3

I just watched the latest episode three times in a row and I just. I need to talk about this.

More specifically, I need to talk about THIS moment:

…because this is some of the best autistic representation I’ve ever seen. I know, this is funky Star Wars animation how good can it be, but just bear with me for a minute.

When Omega asks Tech why he doesn’t act like they’re a family, he’s taken aback—he physically recoils. And then, instead of the simple, clumsy answer I expected, the writers did something I have NEVER seen before, not in a show or a movie or a game or ANYTHING.

They show him struggling to find the words. And they let him take his time to do it, because that’s what he needs.

You can see how hard he’s thinking about what to say to her. Finding the right thing to say doesn’t come easily when there isn’t technically a right answer. You can’t calculate the perfect response to a question like Omega’s, but you can try. He IS trying.

I have done this before. It sometimes takes genuine effort to phrase things the right way to not offend people, to force my tone to be acceptable, to communicate in a way that just doesn’t come naturally. I’ll sit in my therapist’s office for 3 minutes turning over a question in my head, trying out the answers until I have one that feels and sounds right. I have never seen anything like this before.

And then Tech hangs his head. It’s the weary acceptance that he’s different, and people don’t understand him, and he’s inadvertently hurt someone he cares about because he just. Doesn’t. Express himself the same way she does. But he doesn’t blame her for not understanding. When he sighs, you can tell he’s frustrated at himself.

I have felt this before. I have never felt so understood by a piece of media in my entire goddamn life.

All of this to say: I’m genuinely blown away by the nuanced understanding behind this scene. I never wanna hear that Tech is a negative stereotype of an autistic genius again—just because his autism isn’t some groundbreaking new uwu flavor doesn’t mean it’s not REAL. Ty for listening to my ramble if you got this far :))
