I think Saiki deserves disability compensation and specialty caregivers but he'd never take it LOL
#i go back and forth on whether i like 'powers as disability' as representation i personally prefer as a disabled person but wont lie it#usually depends on where my pain levels are at that day. i might be jealous of the teenagers disabilities a touch.#like its not. as neat as it is in saiki k. irl. obviously. but i also do appreciate that asou gets into that a bit with the powerless!kusuo#arc#because there are no solutions theres just living with it. and other people living with you. and getting it wrong. and being forced to#depend on people who arent healthy for you who have their own issues that you have to take care of in turn where you can#because your ability to survive depends on the good will and health of others.#so i wouldnt say its naughty id just say im jealous because i feel like telekinesis would definitely be a pain improvement LOL#i like that theres varying levels of it too. like aiura and toritsuka arent shown to be as disabled but theres still a level of it for sure#because theres different kinds. a single limb amputee is still disabled for example but can probably still manage to support themselves#but i can still get around better than anyone in a wheelchair or who requires a mobility aid daily right now#(even though i might need one in ten years and already own a cane for tough days)#and i like that it intertwines with his mental health too. because it really does. for me it's a constant struggle between my pride#and my love for people and my want to do things and my ability. and its DEPRESSING.#other disabled ppl might say i have a level of internalized ableism but autoimmine disease ruined my life. i was disabled before then but#that broke the camels back. and it is nice to see that struggle represented in a way thats accepted largely uncritically by the fandom#because asou shows very well how saikis powers - while sometimes even beneficial - make life hard given the society he lives in and the#family he was born into#sometimes you just get hit with a hand of cards that all you can do is hope improves in the next life
