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:

#this is so real

history repeats itself only because conditions don’t change drastically enough to halt the cycle from reoccurring and that’s why studying history gives you an intellectual leg up cause you can raise your hand and be like this happened already guys idk if you remember but this happened☝️we know the answer guys ☝️

i love senku so much because, while he doesn't act very friendly and he's not shown to be interested in romance, one of his main traits is how deeply he cares about his friends and the people around him in general, so much so that it's considered a weakness by those he's against. and honestly, even if it wasn't intentional, i'm so happy there's a possibly aroace character who is basically the opposite of emotionless and apathetic

Senku being very Cool and Epic(TM) in the last episode!!!

To wrap up the Fantasy High Freshman Year Minis Auction - thanks to the unbelievable generosity of fans, we were able to make a $185,000 donation to @thepcrf! You can donate yourself using this link: https://pcrf1.app.neoncrm.com/forms/general For transparency: Took a few weeks to finalize as some auction winners did not follow through with payment. The total revenue generated from the auction was about $217,000, and our costs ran about $35,000 (for labor, materials, and operations). We opted to round down costs a bit.

Thank you anon for suggesting style changes in the evil art challenge. Out of my comfort zone and having a blast

[acidic-android]

No I’m not attracted to you. Quit your evil putting your finger under my chin to make me look up at you. I know I’m your nemesis and all but we really need to set some boundaries when you’ve got me tied up like this.
