i dont want to take away from the cursed tumblrness of that post but sincerely its such a pet peeve when people are like "this person wrote [pretty normal fiction that i think is weird]" as some sort of callout. maybe yall should read more books if you think things like "mermaid cannibalism" is at all out there. i read that trope when i was 12 in peter and the starcatchers. calm down.

we need more cringe fail (affectionate) autism representation
where are my autisms who research their special interest for hours and only retain maybe 25 to 35% of the info they read?
where are my autisms who aren't quirky silly relatable but are instead unnerving and weird to be around?
where are my autisms who were never considered "gifted" nor highly empathetic and struggle to relate to others in autism spaces because of it
I love those autisms and you should too actually and if you don't then it sucks to suck I guess
