Demon Slayer + The Onion Headlines
"toru", you whisper in a slight panic, reaching out in an attempt to find your snowy haired boyfriend in the dark. you glance at the alarm clock which reads 6:32 in blaring red lights.
"toru," you say again, this time more urgently. your hands working to untangle the sheets around the both of you and shake him awake. your palms press against his cool skin as you give him a gentle push before violently shaking him.
"what the f- baby? whats goin' on?" he groans tiredly as he's jolted from his sleep. you take about half a second to swoon over his groggy, sleepy voice before another crash sounds from downstairs and you jump slightly, clinging to satoru.
"did you hear that?!"
he furrows his brows slightly and nods, smoothly unwrapping you from him and standing up.
"i'll go see what it is."
you nod and stand up as well.
"i'll come too."
"what? no- there could be a serial killer or something."
"whats a serial killer gonna do against you?"
"thats not the point-"
CRASH!
the both of you jump and grab the other one. carefully, satoru leads you both out and into the hallway. all is silent before a quiet gasp is heard followed by a hush and muted giggling.
you and satoru exchange a glance before creeping down the stairs and peering into the kitchen.
"megumi, you gotta be quiet," tsumiki whispers, "we'll wake gojo and y/n up!"
"you're the one who keeps dropping stuff!" megumi insists, a small pout on the little boy's face. he stands on his tip toes, peering over the top of the stove into the pan of... something.
you cock your head and try not to gag as the smell of whatever's in the pan hits you.
"do you think they'll like their breakfast in bed?" tsumiki asks with an excited smile on her face. her brother just shrugs and adds way too much salt to their concoction.
your boyfriend turns to you with a panicked expression and mouths 'breakfast?!' you elbow him softly and motion your head towards the stairs. you both creep back up to your bedroom with a soft sigh.
"i am not eating whatever the hell was on that stove."
you fix him with an icy glare.
"satoru gojo you will eat what those children have made for us and you will like it."
true to your word, an hour later when tsumiki proudly presented a tray of... breakfast , if you could call it that, with a sullen megumi in tow you both acted pleasantly surprised and choked down the food gratefully.
"So they did a remake of Final Fantasy 7 and put the word Remake in the title but when you actually play it it turns out it's a sequel that takes place in an alternate timeline that's being affected by the events of the original timeline"
This is funny for multiple reasons
You know what gets me too about Levi?
He's just such a sweetheart. He really, really is.
He has such a tough, intimidating exterior. He is tough and intimidating, forged that way from a life of hardship. But his heart is as gentle as they come.
The last shot of him, handing out candy to all those little kids. The way he saved Ramzi from that angry mob. The way he worked with Historia to relocate all the children from the Underground above, to give them better lives.
Levi's compassion toward children is demonstrated again and again, and really exemplifies his compassion overall. People that treat children kindly, that are so aware of children and their worth, and acknowledge them and their worth, are the most genuinely good people.
And when you think about Levi's own childhood, the brutality and loneliness and poverty of it, it makes his kindness and compassion toward them all the more remarkable. His own, deprived childhood could have turned him callous and cruel, unable to care for others out of the desperation to survive himself, but it didn't. Instead, Levi remained and remains exceptionally kind and caring. He remains more deeply compassionate and generous and selfless than anyone.
That last shot of him handing out candy to those children, helping them to regain even a semblance of a normal childhood, to experience some of the joy and innocence of childhood again, after the trauma of what they've been through, exemplifies who Levi is best of all. He isn't wallowing in self-pity, or lamenting on what he's lost (and he's lost more than anyone). He isn't feeling sorry for himself for losing his mobility, or being scarred and disfigured. He isn't drowning in his grief or despair over the friends and family he's lost. He isn't embittered or negative, he isn't angry or cynical. He isn't self-absorbed, or wrapped up in resentment that others have what he never did.
No, instead, he's out there, on the ground, bringing light into the lives of children who still have a chance to escape that darkness that consumed his own childhood, and the vast majority of his adulthood too. He's out there doing his best to protect them from that despair, to give them a chance at a happy childhood.
This is what I mean when I call Levi the most selfless character. Because he is. He doesn't begrudge others having what he was always denied. Rather, he does all he can to ensure they never experience the deprivation he did. He does all he can to give them what he was so cruelly robbed of.
And all this after he's already given everything. When he owes no one anything.
He really is an absolute sweetheart. He's just the sweetest man.
If Gojo, Shoko and Geto had adopted Tsumiki and Megumi

i try to explain to light yagami the economic inequality that pushes people into crime and that killing isolated evildoers will do nothing because the systems in place will keep creating criminals and when he gets home he makes me die from a bowel explosion
If I had a nickel for every time I made a joke parody to this song I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

This came for The Owl House so hard that the original post doesn’t even mention the show in the tags but half of the notes are “You can say The Owl House, it’s okay”

This post has nothing but assholes in it, change my mind.
Shout out to autistics like me who never really "masked" the normal way, who didnt realize they were supposed to fake eye contact or tried to study and understand the conversational structure of people around you. Who couldn't really stop stimming and only changed the type of stims they did. To autistics who's only way of masking was to withdraw, just try to not draw any attention ever. Yes we tried to not seem so autistic but we probably never even understood what made us seem autistic in the first place, so the only option was to shut down and avoid any contact whatsoever.
Shootout to the autistics who understood the game of social skills so well after years of failing and are now social manipulators and understand the principles of social skills far better than a neurotypical does since they studied body language and learnt how to do it so well.
The whole conversation around masking is about this whole concept of being able to fake it / consciously follow the (unspoken) rules of social interaction and suppress traits deemed odd or wrong.
I can't tell you how to talk about autism though I don't think manipulation is something you should strive for. but I can ask you to make your own post about this if you want to talk about your experiences with masking / social rules and such. instead of being another contributor to the conversation about autistic people who seriously lack a skill etc being changed to be about those who learned to hide it successfully or are "better than a neurotypical" at it. That's an incredibly popular view nowadays and the autistic community constantly sidelines those of us who dont fit into the "better than neurotypical" arc, and talk over us, it's hard for us to find each other over all the noise. I know you probably didnt have any of that in mind when writing that and maybe you dont even know it's the popular narrative, but just.. no. Please don't do this to my posts
I'm sorry but in the grand scheme of things, I think most of the Neurodivergent groups talk over people like me.. I've seen thousands of the same post written just very differently from one another. There's no appreciation for autistics who get so good at masking they're able to convince anyone of anything and do it, or convey any emotion even when pissed off. It's draining but goddamn, it works.
I guess to you, I'm the only one who's said something bad in the reblog section. Everyone else is like "UwU its okie you'll never be able live a normal life where you can be confident of your abilities" I was like this before too so I can understand that you probably don't want negative connotations associated with being autistic. But you know its hard enough to be different in this world, I fail to understand why the f*** the only thing i find online is just people accepting that fate. Like its not your only option. You can push beyond your limits. You can be someone who's able to be skilled at socialising or successfully dodge sensory overload situations. But let me guess, that would no longer make autistic people dependent on someone or something to rely on. I'll stay away from your reblogs, sure. But let me finish by saying i have never seen anyone in these communities ever say you should hide it...its only ever the opposite. But i can't exactly change your mind so I'll leave it there.
:)
- Really, your dislike for disabled people who need assistance, (intensive) care and support is showing heavily in this and i think you should examine that deeper. People who need care are not lazy, not not trying hard enough, or rely on it because they think it's fun / cool whatever. But its our reality. And we are allowed to feel okay over it. Maybe consider the huge variety in the human experience which applies to autistic people like everyone else and maybe you'll calm down and realize your experiences aren't universal and by telling others they could just "push past" something that in fact, is an actual limit they will never cross, you're no fucking different than 99% abled/neurotypical society.
- no, I don't agree with every reply, tag, reblog. On most of my posts. I just save my energy for the ones that make me feel like I actually need to clarify myself again, stuff like that.
- telling you to make your own post is not talking over you. Not describing your experiences in posts is not talking over you. Talking over you would be me denying your experiences. Talking over you would be me telling you how to feel about your experiences. Would be me telling others what things are like for you, instead of telling them to listen to what you have to say about your own experience. And majority of people like you who dont need a lot of care, who do well in social situations, (not saying you especially do this, but people with vaguely the same skills, traits) will say things like "actually autistic people understand sarcasm", "actually autistic people can read body language if we try" etc which IS talking over us by making autistic experiences a monolith based on themselves. Literally most "autism myth debunking" content falls into this. From the get go my post doesnt claim to be a universal experience, I literally start by saying it's about masking in ways different from the normal narrative. I never denied masking like that is something some autistic people can do. Talking over is different from not mentioning something / not centering it.
- i see plenty of positivity posts that include people who mask. If you think your specific way of masking isnt talked about enough, create that conversation. My post was specifically about "less skilled" masking / I called it masking, but social withdrawal, the main point, can hardly be considered anywhere close to the traditional idea of masking. It is something i haven't seen talked about a lot either, as in, this specific mental reasoning behind these actions, connected to the concept of masking. Which is why I made a post about it. I did not come on the post of someone talking about how exhausting masking is, or how they learned to mask by studying body language, or someone who never tried to mask at all etc. Because they are separate ideas / topics. This is essentially very much how tumblr works, its seen as "derailing" since it takes the focus off what the OP wanted to Express and talk about.
- I dont know where you got the not wanting "negative connotations" thing from. Autistic traits are essentially neutral to me, they hold no worth. No good or bad, negative or positive. But I am actually very supportive of including autistic traits in conversations that society views as negative. So in that case I'm actively working to associate autism with "negative" stuff, because I believe respectability politics based on "we are just like you" leave behind the most vulnerable people. It seems to be you who thinks autistic people who cant mask or need support are somehow settling for a shitty "fate", something you perceive as negative, when it is in fact completely morally neutral. You're not better than autistic people like me. I'm not better than autistic people who are even less socially aware than me, who need more care. Again, the first point. Your internalized ableism still hurts others when you let it influence you like that. Being disabled isnt bad, and when you think that saying that isnt accepting negative associations or whatever, please do some research on disability activism and ableism 101 and THEN come back to neurodivergence discussions.
- also, "neurodivergent groups", say autistic when you mean that. Autistic community =/= neurodivergent community. That term includes everything from tourette's to anxiety disorders or schizophrenia, none that will have much to say about autistic masking as a group, and the diversity of neurodivergence should be recognized more, instead of treating it like a synonym for autism (/adhd).
- many people focus on unmasking (which I did not even talk about though. Nowhere did I talk about consciously not wanting to mask. It was about masking to the best of your abilities, but that being mostly social withdrawal. That's all.) because masking is one of the driving forces behind autistic burnout / late autistic regression, which can have you PERMANENTLY lose skills. So why do people unmask? Because those limits you pushed past? They can be reset, and lower, and with a chance you'll never cross them again. Thats a fact. And even if that doesnt happen, a burnout can mean many years spent recovering from it, temporary loss of skills. Plus like you said, its fucking draining, and maybe some people would rather stick out in society than exert energy they could put into caring for themselves, hobbies etc. Maybe accept that that's their decision
- change my mind about what? That I can learn about social interaction / body language and everything else to the point of going undetected as autistic? Fun fact for you, I was put through years of "autism therapy" where they tried to make me memorize facial expressions, trained me on scripts for conversations, everything. I made zero progress. I still can not read facial expressions, body language, or control my own and use it to express things to others. I lost my ability to speak fluently verbally when I was ~11 and never gained it back over the last 10 years. I had professional help. I tried and tried. You acting like this is an attitude problem, a thing of just not "wanting it" hard enough, of not trying enough, is a bunch of bullshit where you cant see that others may be different. And if you meant change my mind on viewing autistic traits that aren't masked as a fate no one should want, then yeah, you cant change that. I'll be proud of how I am, and I'll support those who have no other choice without telling them their life sucks, actually.
- lastly, I dont know where you've been looking, but I feel like you would fit very soundly with 99% of forums / communities that center "aspergers". I've seen opinions like yours in there like a thousand times.
reading this would probably not be a good use of my time. I'll find an "ass burger" person and ask them if they wanna reply to you instead, on my behalf
