what keeps your soul tethered to the mortal realm?

your cruel mind

this world has been unkind to you. you don't truly believe you're loved. you don't believe anyone will miss you, and that is exactly why you cannot be free. the gods need you to see that you matter. you're loved. you are worthy of being mourned. you believe that being gone will make no difference. you can't fathom the fact that maybe, just maybe, you were cared for in your time on earth. in order to be free, you must realize that you will be missed. to acknowledge that you were loved is your key to being free. you've been hurt by this world, but that does not mean you have no one. you will be grieved the way you deserve to be, if only you accept the fact.

i don't really like when people say dungeon meshi is accidentally good autistic representation, because while i understand not wanting to make conclusions without explicit confirmation from the author, there's always the weird assumption that non-western authors somehow don't know about things like neurodivergency/queerness/etc. (on top of the assumptions that east asian authors are somehow more naive or oblivious to "western" social issues).

given that dungeon meshi started being published in 2014, it's not really a "work belonging to its times"—it's as contemporary as any other media we discuss on this site, which means it should be fair to assume it engages with contemporary topics (and at the very least, you shouldn't say that the representation is accidental with so much confidence)

but anyways, the chapter "perfect communication" in ryoko kui's "terrarium in a drawer" is some of the most straightforward autistic representation I've seen, and from now on I'm going to assume that laios's character writing is absolutely intentional in that regard:

i refuse to join more social media websites. if all the ones i'm on die, i hope i can recover my teenage self's ability to read a book a day instead

Had to visit a hospital today. (Nothing scary, I promise!)

Anyway, the security ID photo they took of me was uh. Not classically soothing.
