[autistichermann]

i know i already posted about this once (but u should expect more tbh) buuut i was just thinking abt how newt n hermann are both autistic. like i just luv that for them!

for real tho i think thats part of why theyre so (surprisingly, to some - especially people who dont know them well) compatible. (also drift compatible!!!! how could i FORGET?) like little things they do or say that might seem off or strange to others just makes sense to them.

like when hermann stays up all working on a particularly important but tricky equation for hours on end without rest, newt gets it. so he doesnt try to stop hermann when hes on a roll, just makes him coffee and keeps as quiet as he can when he finds hermann sound asleep on the couch the next morning. also, newt often acts as a buffer for hermann between him and others since newt is more naturally extroverted and comfortable around people.

or when newt cant keep himself from rambling on about kaiju, other people at best are rolling their eyes at the weird guy obsessed with monsters. but hermann knows its newts biggest special interest, so later when theyre alone, just the two of them, hermann makes a point to ask newt something about them. maybe its even something hermann already knows about, but its worth it to see newts face light up because someones actually taking an interest and genuinely listening to him.
