My family
An essay by April O'Neil
I have four brothers. We don't have the same parents because their mother died the night my dad died. But their father adopted me and now I call him 'dad,' too.
His name is Hamato Yoshi. He is a master in ninjutsu to my brothers, who sometimes call him 'sensei.' Because he would sometimes break wooden things, and once got a splinter in his hand, they also call him 'Splinter.'
He is a giant rat. He used to be human, but the night we met, he and my brothers touched a sustance substance called mutagen which made them mutate into different creatures. So now, my brothers are giant turtles.
Leonardo is the eldest. He is 17 and very, very serious. Although he likes to play with me if I ask him to. He trains a lot -- he is very disciplined.
Raphael is 16. He likes training just like Leo but does not play with me as much. He also gets angry easily, especially at Leo or me. Luckily, Donatello and Michelangelo are patient with him.
They are the following. Donnie is 14 and Mikey is 13. They do not train as much as the other two -- they have other interests! Donnie turned his room into a laboratory, which he wants us to stay away from when he is learning about something or working on one of his projects. His latest project was making braces for Mikey, who had 'ugly teeth' (their words, not mine).
Now Mikey has to regularly check in with him and be careful of what he eats, which is sad because he likes cooking. And he is the best cook in town! Or at least so I think of him. He also likes playing video games with the other boys and painting with Raph.
My family is unique and special. Even though we don't look the same, think the same, do the same things, or come from the same family, I love my teenage mutant ninja brothers!

It's been so fascinating to see how strongly people react to Toshiro in Dungeon Meshi. When I first read that scene I didn't feel hurt by Toshiro's rejection of Laois at all, I was more shocked at Laios raising a hand to him in anger because Laios had always felt like a man free from such anger and aggression. Although it was very powerful to see that Laios was capable of feeling such a way. I felt the scene was very emotionally charged and an important moment for both characters.
So when I started hearing about how hurt other people were at seeing Toshiro lash out in frustration towards Laios, and seeing people express discomfort towards Toshiro I was surprised but not confused. Honestly I was more surprised at myself for not having a similar reaction because I have also been subject to being led on in "friendships" that the other person secretly despised (or at least did NOT feel the same). It can be very hurtful to discover that someone has built a resentment towards you but never made any attempt to clear the air with you until a point of crisis.
I am autistic and I struggle a lot with relationships but in this instance I didn't see myself in Laios' shoes (although I have been there) instead I found myself relating to Toshiro. A man trapped by social expectations, rigid rules of engagement hammered into him from a young age, only to discover that there is someone who does not follow these rules at all. Even more bizarrely they seem completely free from any of the consequences that would befall Toshiro if he ever deviated from his carefully cultivated mask.
I can say from experience it is confronting to try and unpack your own high masking trauma while also feeling compelled to support the low masking autistic person in your life. Even if the other person means no ill will and has not truly done anything wrong, having them unknowingly walk all over you can be enough to push you to a breaking point. There is an intense frustration that comes with seeing someone else get away with not following the social rules you have beaten yourself painfully into shape to fit.
Yes Toshiro could have chosen any moment to correct Laios on his name, or clarify his discomfort or his personal boundaries, but that is operating under the assumption that Toshiro feels safe enough to do so. He is a stranger in a strange land, and often in that position it is a safer choice to subject yourself to a level of discomfort simply to keep the general peace. Where my fellow high maskers at? We make biting our tongue a fucking art.
