My therapist suggested that I take FMLA leave because of where I am mentally right now.

My council is so small we don't fall under FMLA.

I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand — How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep — while I weep! O God! Can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream? - Edgar Allan Poe (Season 2 launches January 30th, at 9pm EST. Hope to see you there!)

So we all know by now that Dazai is comfortable enough around Chuuya to show nervousness/worry.

Enough times for Chuuya to pick up on that pattern. The pattern, may I remind you, that doesn't have evident correlation to either nervousness or worry to most people. One that can even be interpreted as misplaced given the situation.

Which means that Dazai has done this in front of Chuuya so often, that Chuuya at first was hella confused, before he finally made a connection between when and why it happens. And still remembered that connection after four years of separation. Which gets us to my point:

What if this isn't the only emotion Dazai displays weirdly?

What if he has multiple unconventional patterns he displays for sadness, frustration, content, or disgust? The times he really feels them, and they become too strong for him to just deal with normally? What if these are the only times he's actually being genuine with his emotions?

And Chuuya is the only one who is familiar with them all?

Dazai would be jumping rope and Chuuya would be like, "quit sulking, let's get icecream"

Dazai hanging upside down on the couch and Chuuya going, "It's okay, mackerel. You can cry."

Dazai actually crying, full on heart-wrenching sobs, and Chuuya unironically going, "What, good news?"

It's just... comforting, for one person in Dazai's life to read him like a book. Everyone else would look at him like he's crazy, displaying wrong emotions/behaviors at the wrong time, but Chuuya knows that it's just how he processes feeling properly, and thus he's the only one Dazai can count on to put things into context and understand, which makes him display them even more openly.

Because Chuuya never shamed him for his quirks, as much as Dazai never did his.

As an autistic person who didn't grow up within the special education system or disability circles, accepting that my autism is a disability has been a journey. While sometimes I do feel disabled, other times I do not, not even touching some of my physical issues. But it has helped me immensely to know others who are autistic. Every time I see this graphic I think about sharing it.

Visibility is so crucial, with any minority, including disabled people. While I'm not super open about being autistic, mostly because I worry about stigma associated with it, I know it's important for the kids to see an autistic person in a professional role. It was important when I was a camp staff and it's important now.

When we think about camp and disability, barriers come to mind. I spoke with a colleague last month or maybe in April, about her daughter, who is in a wheelchair and wants to go to camp [redacted], a place with no pavement, full of hills and steep grades, and with lots of stairs. Heck, our office building isn't even wheelchair accessible. This is a problem now, and will be an even bigger problem when someone needs access.

Image ID: The Inaccessibility Cycle graphic, a light blue graphic with a blue circle and an inscribed wheelchair symbol. The text around it forms a circle with arrows and reads, from the top clockwise, "Inaccessibility/Disabled people unable to participate/Disabled people not visible in public/Disabled people seen as outlier or rarity/'so there's little or no need to consider them'" in multicolored text. The bottom is labeled "The Inaccessibility Cycle" and there is a watermark for Pacing Pixie in the center. End ID.

something something, the fact that Dazai despises dogs and yet is so insistent on Chuuya being one.

he isn’t wrong: of all the animals out there, Chuuya has the traits so stereotypical of a mutt. he was always one, i think, from the moment he was experimented on. and if he wasn’t under Dr. N’s rancid hands, then he surely was once the Sheep got a hold of him. sure, he was called the King of the Sheep, but what is that other than their herding dog? a shepherd so loyal to his flock, that even when a blade got buried in his abdomen he still cared for them. in the manga, it’s implied that his choker is the Sheep’s signature bracelet repurposed. he moved it from one pulse point to another, changed it from the sign of belonging to a crowd to the sign of defending one with a bloody maw. it’s a collar now, strung tight.

it’s explicitly stated that Chuuya will forever care about others, no matter how much they have hurt him. in his heart, there will always be a place for those who have done nothing but mutilate his life. a kicked dog whose tail still wags.

and. Dazai hates dogs.

genuinely, he’s disgusted by them. he takes every chance to mock or insult them. yet, he immediately became so fixated on calling Chuuya his dog, framing him as this portrait of unending loyalty, littered with wounds and stained with viscera. Chuuya becomes the one Dazai trusts the most in his current world, so much so that four years apart doesn’t change a thing. they’re back at each other’s side, lives immediately in the other’s hands; one soul, two bodies. the ends of a dichotomy that hides an endless spectrum within.

within hours of meeting, Dazai had decided that Chuuya was a dog, a mutt. he has yet to be proven wrong, and he has yet to truly hate him. something something
