Some loser came up in my notes and said this completely unprompted:

To which I replied:

And then before I could read the second reply:

Lmaaooooooooo, you freaking coward. I can't even find their blog, was it that bad? Funniest shit I've seen all week. I am pointing and laughing at you.

Haruhi Suzumiya and Experiences Growing up ND

I think the reason Haruhi Suzumiya resonates with me so much is that she captures something unique about being an adolescent/young woman and growing up with autism + adhd.

By the time I was around 9 or 10, I too, was totally dismissive towards “normal” people. This feeling sprouted from the realization that there was something “off” or “uncanny valley” feeling about me as a 9 year old girl, but it started a barrage of existential questions that would follow me forever. While Haruhi’s big shift in perspective came from her nihilistic realization that her place in the universe was impossibly small and insignificant, I think that can mirror becoming conscious of your neurodivergence—when I got my diagnoses, I felt incredibly isolated and small, trying to navigate life in a sea of neurotypical people and all the people who experienced neurodivergence in a different way from me.

I was pretty bad with empathizing and being considerate of others’ feelings through most of high school too, mostly because I was awful with social cues due to autism, though maybe most kids are. Still, being bossy, possessive, and selfish were probably my biggest flaws. I think Haruhi captures how awful that can be for other people.

Yet, as a woman there’s this implicit expectation that you’re supposed to be more socially delicate and conscious. This caused my family a huge amount of grief when I was growing up. Not to mention, not being interested in typical “girl” things or even popular shows/media made it hard to relate to other people on the basis of things instead of perspective too.

So when I first got into Haruhi, I felt like it Got Me; there’s something incredibly human about doing a ton of random, different, grandiose things in an attempt to find meaning or satisfaction in an existence that feels so exceedingly lonely at times, and something pleasant about watching a group of friends struggle to that end together :)

What do you think would happen when Tails introduces Sails Mangey and Nine to mints?

Oooh good question!

ㅤ

Sails:

Honestly, since we don't know all that much about No Place, I like to think that mints are still a thing, just the kind of thing that Sails has to sneak on the ship and can only get once in a while. So whenever he was able to get them before, he kind of had to ration em out.

That also being said, I think it would be funny if the mints in no place don't look like the ones Tails offers to Sails. So at first Sails hesitates to eat it, although he has no reason to distrust Tails, so he does try it. I can see Sails sort of commenting his thoughts aloud on how it tastes, but ultimately he probably tries to sneak some mints off of Tails.

Although Tails is pretty much like "You can just ask. I've got a bunch"

So whenever Sails visits from No Place he lets Tails and the others try the mints from No Place, and he uh takes a good amount of Tails' mints back to No Place with him

However, if Sails has never tried any mints before, I think he'd become hooked pretty quickly (still explain the taste out loud you know) and end up trying to snatch some before Tails is like "Hey, just ask and you can have as much as you want"

ㅤ

Mangey:

Hohoho boy

While there's at least a decent chance Mangey has just straight up eaten mint plants before, I think he would become pretty hooked as well. In my head, I think he'd keep begging for more after Tails initially gives him one to try, and it gets so out of hand that Tails, Sails, and Nine have to consciously keep mints out of sight and locked up.

But before they realize how bad Mangey gets about them, Tails gives him like a tin or a small bag of mints he can take with him, and Mangey can't even make them last a day. He is in the presence of mints, he snacks on mints.

Just cause they hide em and lock em up doesn't mean that Mangey doesn't find them or that he's never allowed to have them. I think sometimes when Sails is playing that game with Mangey where he's working on something and Mangey plays assistant, they often use mints as something in exchange for helping when they're not exhanging kisses.

ㅤ

Nine:

While we know more about New Yoke than we do about most of the other shatterspaces, like with Sails I'd like to think Nine has had mints before. In this case, since nothing really grows within the city, I like to think that occasionally New Yoke will get mints in as an import.

Essentially, I think Nine used to see the resistance handing them out once in a blue moon after a successful raid or would see them sold on shady street corners and alleyways. He always tries to limit the contact he makes with people and the city itself, but he kind of had to to be able to get the matierals to create his equipment and have enough food to survive. So he managed to get ahold of a small handful out of curiosity.

It was too much of a pain to get ahold of more, so even though he liked them quite a bit, he almost never was able to get ahold of any.

With that all being said, I can see Nine sort of marveling for a moment how easy it was for Tails to get ahold of so many mints before remembering that green hill and Tails' world is much more plentiful than the city of New Yoke. I think after trying them when Tails offers, he's reminded just how good they are.

That being said, though, I think Nine would pretend that he likes them but of course has restraint, unlike the other two. So he would only take the one small bag or tin when Tails offered to give them more mints. Other times Tails offers, I think he starts out as begrudging but does eventually accept the gift of mints whenever Tails offers some.

If Mangey eats em like candy and Sails is always taking a large stash with him, though, even though he acts like he has more self control and is more normal about mints than them, that is a lie. After taking the first bag/tin back to The Grim with him, he starts figuring out how create a constant lifetime supply of mints there. He doesn't eat them like candy when he does accomplish this, but he still does eat mints about as often as I think Tails does. That's all to say that sometimes mints are just something he eats a couple of when he's bored, when his breath smells bad, occasionally when he needs to make deals with Mangey, as a special little treat when he feels down/accomplished something, and when he hasn't eaten in a while but needs to keep working, so he needs to trick his stomach into thinking its not starving by letting mints dissolve in his mouth.

In the event Nine has never had them before though, I'd think he'd still make a visual expression of enjoying the first one he tries, but he'd still try to be modest and seem "normal" about them by only taking one tin/bag of mints before he ultimately figures out how to keep a constant stash in The Grim like Tails does in his many labs

mint's monday muse #9

hello peeps! we back with another monday muse! i'm feeling great after a productive week and i really hope that i can continue this streak :D

sweater weather is still my favorite by the neighbourhood, but this song really got me ascending to heaven. i'm surprised that it wasn't as big of a hit like the other tracks, and honestly i think it deserves more recognition! both the lyrics and instrumental are beautiful, and it's a perfect song to jam out while you're chilling out with your loved one under a starry sky :)

have a jinsoul to boost your week with motivation! :D

NO FUCKING WAY?!?!?!?!?

[mintdragonnerd]

Man, I was looking at pictures of myself from late last year, and I just look so happy. I was so glad to finally get the chance to move out and be myself and now it's just like 'where the fuck did all that happiness go?' I barely go outside anymore, I don't feel like eating a lot, sometimes it's everything I can do just to get up in the mornings. I feel like I'm just going through the motions again. Like we're 17 again and wondering if it'll ever get better. I came here to learn who I was and be happy, not this shit. And I feel so fucking lonely, I can't go anywhere cause of vehicle problems, I have like 3 friends, and none of them can drive plus I wouldn't ask them to do that, it's all just such bullshit. All that crap that happened to us when we were young and now we don't even get to enjoy our freedom. I want to do things, I want to learn how to make pretty dresses and skirts, I want to get better at cooking, I want to help with the garden, I want to be able to clean the house and maybe get a stay at home job, I want to do art commissions, I just want to live and be happy, hell even just content. Isn't that good enough for the universe

been having way too much fun with fashion dreamer today :D

[cerinelle-stellarium]

I finally realized why Minto's transformation in New was so underwelming. In the original anime, ballet was a promient part of her character alongside her first anime/manga protrayal. With the second anime's changes to her personality and her goals in life, the classical danc to make Minto feel more well rounded, aspect of her's is no longer as relevant hence her having a more stiff transformation that feels disjointed from the OG onde.
