the first thing fancy brew thinks when joe beans tells her to come upstairs is that she's definitely not paid enough to be interrupting her break for customers but she agrees to come up regardless.
the second thing fancy brew thinks when she sees the combination if people in front of her are family. the feeling fades as quickly as it came and it leaves her head aching and her heart pounding. she feels as though she's found a part of herself in them and she doesn't understand why. she pushes the feeling down. 
and then the lot of them yell jancy and oh, these kids (and kids? that's not right and she knows it's not but, then, what is the right word for them?) are loud and she’s already so tired. but they keep going and oh they have the wrong woman, don't they? because she can't remember them at all. and, while fancy brew knows her memories aren’t all there, she’s not sure if she can bring herself to believe that these kids are her family.
they call her their mom but she's, she's not that old, she knows she's not that old, at least. and anyways, one of them is a grandma? so she can’t possibly be their mom, because jancy- fancy brew may not know much but she knows she’s not that old.
and yet, she can't help but think of the pang of familiarity she felt, the pang of familiarity she keeps feeling but -- god her head aches -- but something isn't right here and jancy tru- fancy brew is on the case. 
fancy brew knows nothing. she remembers little of her life before working for joe and still, she can't help but feel as though that didn’t always used to be the case. 
fancy brew may know nothing but she's certain that these... children of hers, aren’t actually her children. they simply can’t be.
but fancy brew is a smart woman, and she knows that, perhaps, if she truly were to know these people, they might be able to trigger some of her memory gain if they talk about memories they'd shared in the past. and despite everything, fancy hopes that she knows these people and fears that she doesn't. 
more than anything, fancy wants to believe that these people are her family, but a part of her is worried. what if she lets them down? what if they are her family and she simply can’t remember them? what if she isn’t? fancy’s not sure which outcome would be worse.
still when she floats the idea, the party takes it and runs with it and she's almost struck by the speed at which they are willing to bare their souls to her. fancy brew is reeling from the blind trust and faith they've put into her, a woman who can't remember and who doesn't know, a woman who may be a stranger. she knows that whoever this jancy is, these kids love her. and fancy is reeling at that fact, at the love they share for the woman they believe she is. 
fancy bre- no, jancy true, does not remember everything. but she remembers cheering york on, she remembers bailing her children out of bad situations, she remembers the butt cloud and an angry (exasperating) horned woman and a sadder, older, horned woman as well and most importantly she remembers Rosé's birthday. 
jancy true remembers her family. 
jancy true used to know everything. 
fancy brew knew nothing. 
currently, jancy true remembers very little. when all is said and done, her memories are fuzzy and her head hurts so much so it feels as though she can't think. 
when jancy looks at the party, her family, her children, she knows that she’ll be okay. because if she knows anything, she knows that these are her children, and, as hard as it may be to believe sometimes, they’re smarter than they may seem.

I dont possess the energy to stay positive or to deal with the guilt off taking care of myself. Im not the beam of hope to look for. Rather a joykiller or a black hole. I should do þe world a favor and kill myseklf. Maybe then the world is lesser meaning.also pls dont store my soul. Rip my soul into pieces and give them back their lives. They deserve to live way more than i do

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:

Disclaimer these are just a small sampling of some possible writer traits I’ve noticed either in myself or in fics I read. Also consider a rb for sample size !

not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…
‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.
‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.
even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.
I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.
fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.
idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)
if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.
--
no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.
I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.
I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.
If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.
