Thinking about Buggy, and the Cross Guild specifically.

Like. The fanfkcs are good. But I have yet to find some that touch on some generalized headcanons and the byproducts thereof.

Autistic Mihawk? YES!! But give me Mihawk who has more autistic traits than just the generalized blank stare and monotone voice. Give me Mihawk who, when actually invested in something, struggles with volume control. Give me Mihawk who can and WILL info dump when given a chance - about the history of swordsmanship, maybe even gardening, give him hyperfixations. Give him some textures he will just touch and touch and touch, and some which he'll quite literally shrivel up and die if he has to touch.

Crocodile has all his Bananwanis and maybe even breeds them? Yes! But give me Crocodile being a Reptile Dad. Give me Croc who loves on and trains the 'Wanis, who is adamant on their care and knowledgeable about them. Give me Crocodile who is trans and occasionally has moments of dysphoria even after Ivankov's miracle hormone treatment. He passes as Cis, sure, but sometimes the KNOWING is the worst. Give me Crocodile whose safe space is with his pets, who loves them and is loved by them in turn.

Buggy being smarter than he lets on is always peak. But people often boil it down to selective intelligence, and give him no other skill sets. Give me Buggy who is sensory seeking, autistic and whose special interests are in chemistry, explosives, circuses, and the like. Buggy who LOVES bright, clashing colors because it makes his eyes happy, who stims using his Devil Fruit, and who is actually a very good cook - he thinks of it as chemistry and art. He's had a LOT of practice as well.

Now let's mix them. Give me kinesthetic stimming Buggy and Mihawk. Give me them sharing their favorite stims and finding new ones. Give me them sharing in stimming, give me Buggy dragging Mihawk to the aerial equipment and teaching him to use it. Give me them just finding a niche and enjoying themselves. Give me Buggy and Mihawk finding a new common ground that neither expected but they are so so so happy for.

Give me Crocodile learning their likes and dislikes. Giving me him throwing out one waist coat without hesitation bc Buggy huggy him once, snuggled close and gagged when it touched his skin. Give me him replacing all the velvet in his room because this one kind is bad for Mihawk, but this other one is absolutely bewitching to the swordsman. Give me him just wordlessly putting up these multicolored fairy lights and not saying anything when Buggy asks him why, just pushes the clown down into the bed, clicks them on, and says "you need to calm down, you've been up since yesterday."

Give me Mihawk and Buggy in turn Recognizing when Croc had bad days and learning to help massage his stump. Give me Buggy experimenting with herbs and lotions until he makes one himself that will help with the pain and fits all the sensory needs of everyone involved.

Just. Yes. Cross Guild Poly. But give me the behind the scenes domestic stuff because THAT is where the dopamine is.

You know how a common metaphor for autism is that it's like never being given a script but still being expected to say all the right lines? That feeling must me awful for a perfectionist like Mihawk, not knowing the right thing to say but needing to say the right thing or else he views his bridge with that person as burned. No wonder he chose to isolate himself instead, even if he knew he shouldn't, even if he didn't want to, it's easier than dealing with the trial and error of communicating with people.

Thinking about autistic Mihawk…….

Thinking about how he masks his stims and maintains INTENSE eye contact with people because its considered “polite”

Thinking about maybe him getting comfortable around Crocodile and croc gifts him some fancy outfit and Mihawk grabs it but its immediately the wrong texture so he drops it and does really distressed hand flappies and croc is just “what- what was that?” And mihawk just gets all quiet and skittish and before he can explain anything croc is just, “i can get you a different one if you dont like it.”

Also thinking of mihawk when zoro and perona were around doing his hand flappies or trying really hard not to have a meltdown because he had a routine based around living alone but now there are people in places they shouldnt be.

He has a neutral expression all the time except very rarely when talking about his special interests. I think Zoro is definetly the first to see it and is like, caught off guard but leans into it a bit (also definetly headcanon that zoro is audhd and he often reflects other people’s energy so hes more expressive around luffy and then also post timeskip that explains why hes so stoic because hes spent 2 years with the most autistic man ever HES GONNA PICK THAT UP)

Also mihawk definetly has safe foods and started gardening and cooking because he couldnt trust foods to have the same recepie consistently so he just started making his own food out of frustration

Anyways hes my little autistic meow meow and i will project onto him
