I love being a lesbian. I love women. I love the community I have found. I love my girlfriend. I love feeling the grip of cisheteronormativity loosen around me. I love the diversity. I love that I finally understand my sexuality. I love the history. I love the different labels and styles and gender expressions amongst lesbians. I love lesbian media. I love lesbian stories.
Coming out saved my life and has changed me in ways I only dreamed of. It never would have happened if I had not discovered the lesbian community and had lesbian friends to help me understand what I was feeling.
❤️🧡🤍🩷💜 Happy Lesbian Visibility Day ❤️🧡🤍🩷💜

My heart is
A boat
With more
Holes in the bottom
Than hands and feet
To hold them shut
The water
So familiar
The sea floor
I know well
Fragile air
Inflates the lungs
That fail to carry
The scream building
Inside my throat
Bracing for
Unforgiving waters
Legs unsure
If they can
Outpace the undertow
If I go under again
Will I come back this time?
If I go under again
Do I want to come back this time?

I saw a post that was like "Marcille is just Harrow with less autism" and I'm like
I don't think it's less autism, I think it's just different autism
Very funny to me to see the tlt fandom overlapping with Dungeon Meshi. We saw bloody bones, necromancy and lesbians and went, Yay! We’re Home!

SOMEONE PUT IT INTO AN UNDERSTANDABLE FORMAT AAAAAASKSHGSKAV My neurodivergent brain feels SEEN by those comic panels
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:

So much love and recognition to the people who don't know how they feel about recovering. To the people whose scars are fading away, and there's a sinking feeling, despite knowing that it's a good thing. To the people who miss when they were "worse," when they felt "broken." To the people who mourn losing their coping mechanisms, even the ones that were destructive, scary, or unpleasant. To those who feel guilty they're healing because their past self wasn't ready.
Whatever it is, there is nothing wrong with any of those feelings. It's a natural reaction, something you don't have ultimate control over. There is nothing shameful about yourself, and I admire the strength it takes to recognize how you feel, even the parts that do feel like the "wrong" reaction to a Good Thing.

Another dusty ass man who is absolutely not ready for the chaotic autism magical dragon girl he claims to love
You can tell Shuro can’t actually handle Falin bc the moment he heard about the black magic he threw a fit. Like oh, you wouldn’t throw away your soul to bring her back? You wouldn’t commit unspeakable atrocities for her? Grow up.
Meanwhile, as soon as Falin is revived and hears they’ve been eating monsters, she wants to join. And Marcille is like, so unsurprised. You think Shuro could handle that? No. Leave the heavy lifting to the lesbians 🙄 you don’t have what it takes.
