I don't control the hyperfixation!

Woah woah woah. Okay. So much to unpack in the latest chapter of Blue Exorcist but I have so many questions. Specifically regarding how Demon Kings possess their vessels. And the Demon Kings themselves

Spoilers below. Or just skip the post. Not Still wakes the Deep Related

Like up to this point, we’ve seen Demon Kings seemingly in complete control of the bodies they possess but Astaroth and Reiji seem to be working as a Unit, not as One force just using the body like a Flesh mech. It’s so interesting. How does this affect the possession? How does possession really work. I need answers.

Like, do they split who calls shots? Is it a Unified decision like Pacific Rim?? Are the other Demon Kings like this or is it specifically Astaroth? If it’s latter, why chose to do this? Why not strong arm the body like the rest seem to do?

Also Im not too surprised he joined them. Given some of his emotional reactions earlier and his desperation to seemingly please Satan. Its so interesting to see how alike to humans they are and this really brings it to the surface. Has he had the least interaction with humans? He seems the least mature out of all the kings despite being the 6th oldest among them.

Anyways, Astaroth is our friend now. I hope nothing bad happens, truly. But given where we’re going, I’m concerned. For the cast as a whole.

I hope we genuinely get to learn more about them. I love the Demon Kings as a whole because they really are fascinating characters. They’re as old as they are and yet still have some of the most immature squabbles and it’s beautiful. Thank you Kato. These are genuinely wonderful characters.

I refuse to believe, I'm the only one that saw that new panel and didn't make the connection back to the very first chapter!

They are mirroring!

[spicedgreenbeans]

with the events of the newest chapter, i've come to the realization that my assumption of how demon kings possessing human vessels works was largely incorrect,,

because reiji's clearly still in there and seems to be the one calling the shots. are he and astaroth like. merged? are they one in the same? or is it a situation like rin and demon rin? i would love to learn more about this, i hate not knowing exactly how something works lol

im curious what everyone else's interpretations are

[happyk44]

Astaroth wagging his tail so happy while Yukio complains very much gives "accidentally adopted stray dog" vibes.

Like Rin fed him one time so he followed them home, and now Yukio's gotta train him so he doesn't make a mess of the house.

[happyk44]

With the release of the latest chapter, having some thoughts on demons and their vessels and such.

Reiji and Astaroth are clearly working as one being, and I have so many questions about it. They're also very similar in general, both being happily cruel to others, wanting their respective father's attention, quick to anger, quick to respond violently. On top of that, Reiji willingly accepted Astaroth a second time.

I wonder if any of that will benefit Astaroth's ability to remain in Assiah without burning through Reiji's body as fast as he normally would.

Shout out to my fellow Phineas and Ferb fans!

I know celiac can cause GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), but I still feel like I was misdiagnosed because my doctor saw GERD as the problem, not a symptom of something else. Zero tests were done. He just heard my symptoms, gave me the diagnosis, and sent me on my way.

i feel so defensive and protective of people with ARFID like if i had a disorder that made my brain register 90% of food as poison for no reason and i had a bazillion people on the internet constantly calling me a manchild who needs to just grow up and stop being a picky eater i would start killing people

[rubysapphrald]

people with ARFID and people with very few autism safe foods and people with contamination OCD and people in ED recovery and everyone else with a complicated relationship with food that no one takes seriously GET BEHIND ME!!!!!!!

[maykitz]

the persecution of lefthandedness is insane to think about because it was so intense for so long, in some places still is, without any clear profit motivation. sheer love of the game. as late as the 70s at least they were smacking my stepdad's hands for it with a wooden ruler at school, to this day he's in weird ambidexterity situation where he's not great with either side and notably clumsy due to poor hand-eye coordination. just wtf

[seeingteacupsindragons]

It is fascinating to me that people also think of handedness as an example of bigotry that just...went away. As you note, it...hasn't in some places. I know people who grew up in the mid-late 90s who still had this problem.

But also, and this is really important to keep in mind regarding bigotry that still causes in many ways larger problems, that the structural problems are not actually fixed.

If you go to any computer lab or public library, the mice will be on the right side of the computer. Sometimes they can be moved. Sometimes they can't. Many computer mice are curved to only fit in right hands.

It is impossible to find lefthanded scissors without going to a specialty store, because most scissor makers don't even make them. And it's not just a matter of grip; the slicing side of the blades is obscured if you use righty scissors in your left hand, so your cut is off.

All those signing pads with the little chained styluses? Almost always on the right side, often not even long enough to stretch to the left. Makes signing for lefties extremely difficult.

I caused actual muscular problems in college having to twist around in order to write at right-handed desks in college when there weren't enough lefty desks--and there never were. Some classrooms didn't even have a single one.

I could go on.

But the point is, bigotry isn't just a mindset shift. People can't just decide they're not bothered by that particular difference anymore and everything's fine, because society is still structured and designed to cause problems for marginalized people. And they're never even going to notice all the little ways their life is bent to convenience them that inconveniences others.

When kiddo was learning to write, their teacher—who was a beautifully kind, caring, compassionate person who even thanked me for making them aware of certain kinds of left/handed supplies, because their new toddler was a lefty and they’d never even thought about it—was teaching the kids a method for word spacing that involved placing their free index finger down at the end of each word and then writing the next one.

Pause for a moment, especially if you’re right-handed—and I’m being serious here, physically do this if you have two functioning arms and hands—and grab a writing tool in your left hand. Now place your right index finger down and try to start writing a word next to it.

Yeah. Great technique, huh? Really convenient and comfortable and easy. 🙃

I sent in a small baggie of small popsicle sticks I’d custom painted for them and labeled with their name for kiddo to use instead, but ultimately they stopped because it wasn’t as convenient when nobody else had to get something out.

Writing in English is difficult enough when you’re left-handed (most of our letters are designed with pull motions, but lefties must push), but even other foundational basics are made more difficult than they have to be, because their needs aren’t considered, even in situations where overt hostility isn’t intended.

Even now, in an older grade, they’re now all sharing a lot of the supplies, but my kiddo has their own pair of labeled lefty scissors they keep in their personal cubby. Teacher was 100% chill with me sending them in, but didn’t even consider to take the step further when I’d asked about whether or not they had them to just… get some for all the lefties. I know there are other kids, know some of them personally. (I made a set of writing spacing sticks for the single one that I knew of back in 1st grade.)

Regarding computer mice? Kiddo had standardized testing last year. They do it on chromebooks now at their school. They did their entire first day with the track pad instead of the mouse, because none of the teachers proctoring or assisting even knew you COULD switch the sides/toggle a setting to switch which button was the dominant select. We happened to have one at home thanks to remote learning during Covid’s early days, so that night we sat down together and found the setting ourselves so they could fix it the following day. But on a student account at school, they couldn’t change that setting. And? None of those teachers knew enough about technology to be able to override it. So even when I went above and beyond and personally sought out the skills and tools to help my child level the playing field on their own, the teaching staff was so unaccustomed to even considering this as a need or problem, that they weren’t able to remove the incredibly basic barriers to a fair schooling experience.

And this is honestly a good school, with staff that care and work hard and take 99% of bigotry concepts very seriously, teach about truth and compassion and how to recognize at this kid level a lot of the basic seeds that can grow into hate and hurt and also healing and helping. But the fact that left-handed needs are different? It is so ingrained to default to right-handed layouts that even left-handed staff don’t conceptualize these problems, because they were taught the exact same way.

Happy Autistic Pride Day from a proud autistic!

June 18th marks Autistic Pride Day, made by autistic people for autistic people. It's important to be proud of who you are.

Whether autism helps or hinders you, it's a part of you. For me, it does both, and I accept that. I keep going on days when I can, and rest on days when I can't, and I feel no shame for that. Self-accommodation is so incredibly important.

Remember to take a break when you can. Remember to love yourself. Remember to be proud of yourself.
