< < < < spoilers for mob psycho 100 (anime)>>>> as an autistic person, i am pretty used to portrayals of autistic people in media being... less than stellar. for the most part it's those with savant-like abilities that are flouted around as the be-all end-all of representation for autistic people (despite comprising what? 10% of us? idk the exact number but in that ballpark), ala rain man the good » Continue Reading
< < < < as always, spoilers for death note >>>> i know i've been heavy on the death note content lately but i mean it's all i can think about right now (blame my autism) so for today, i want to talk about fanon! light yagami, because... he certainly is a character. it's not that i disagree with people taking canon and making it their personal sandbox - i do the same myself, and a lot of t » Continue Reading

ahhhh i just finished this anime at the suggestion of a friend, and wow. it's been a while since an anime has honestly truly managed to make me cry like a baby, but here we are. if you're into found family, situational comedy, and having your heart torn straight out of your chest, this is the anime for you! lots of trigger warnings, however, for domestic abuse, child abuse, death, etc. if you have... » Continue Reading
