Feeding plant children the BFs pancakes and having a morning convo!

When Stolas is really, really upset, he occasionally stims by hitting his head. By Mr. Butler's complete lack of reaction, this must have been a fairly common occurrence in his early childhood.

I like that we see both happy and unhappy stims from him. The repetition feels deliberate, just like how both times see him super excited and anticipatory he does little hops or bounces (hard to tell which without seeing his feet).

Another repeated stim is that when he's happy he tends to hold his fists up by his chest, which you can see in the scenes where he's bouncing too. In Seeing Stars he even shakes his fists because he's so excited to have found red glasses that look like his second pair of eyes (he's so fucking cute, I can't stand it).

I wonder if we will see these same stims more often, now that his mask is off again and he's no longer being told he needs to hide his emotions.

Food issues

Ok a few people pointed out Stolas doesn't really eat what he says he does

Mostly what we've seen him eat

Is Stolas eating cereal and rats

With them only having rats, pop, and chocolate milk in the fridge. (The zebra steak is for Twoie, his pet plant who I refuse to believe is dead).

So why doesn't he mention the cereal?

And why would he look extremely uncomfortable mentioning he eats rats?

Even though their Via's favourite snack.

He is extremely uncomfortable admitting he likes to eat rats. Stolas rubs and grabs his wrists, looks away bitting his lip, and grips his shoulder all before answering.

When Blitz says he can have some look at that face. Such a cute smile, if a little confused that he's allowed.

Best guess he has/had food aversion issues like lots of autistic people. And cereal and rats are on the normal person Bad/Junk Food list. Things he's been told not to mention that he eats when asked.

Ok we literally we did in our family, so the kid could have the food they needed, and not be stressed out by people yelling at them for being picky.

It made it easier to sort with a dietitian, if they weren't stressed because their teacher decided it's good idea to take away their own food. Because "they'll eat whatever when their hungry enough" 🤬(still want to hit people that do this sort of thing).

Guessing both tinny Stolas and the Staff would have gotten in trouble for him having a limited palette.

Because this is a straight up fib here. Stolas and Via make there own food whenever we see them. Apart from at the party where Stolas is again eating rats.

And Greed Seed cereal is so unhealthy that they can't be bothered to put the ingredients on, just that's it'll give you diabetes.

and look at the egg bit and tell me that's not someone having a texture issue. Look at it....

(yep barn owls don't usually raid nests for eggs too)

Plus "custom diet" might mean vitamin and minerals tablets.

Stolas fidgeting and avoiding eye contact in Sinsmas

Look I love me some fan art of Blitz interrupting Stolas’ reading for bids for attention and kisses as much as the next person, it’s so domestic and so fluffy I want to die, but as an autistic and a reader myself, if anyone ever interrupts my reading I will become violently murderous.

Blitz *purposefully poking Stolas to be annoying*: “C’mon, whatever stupid book you’re reading can’t be more interesting than me.”

Stolas: “My next ‘stupid book’ will be our bloody divorce papers if you don’t leave me alone!”

I love Stolas' dinosaur hands they give me so much life

Bonus: The one picture on Instagram where Stolas literally dressed up as a dinosaur

Autistic Stolas my beloved

Autistic4Autistic Stolitz, hear me out

Stolas gives high masking undiagnosed autistic who always felt a little different and didn't always understand that people were making fun of him, or if he did, then why.

As an adult he uses social scripts when he can but he's really easily thrown off if people don't follow along and behave as expected. Blitzø perplexes the shit out of him but also lets him unmask a little cuz he doesn't have to worry about appearing odd. Blitzø has such different standards of normalcy that he doesn't even notice if Stolas says something strange half the time.

They take turns info dumping to each other, even though Blitzø is really awful at listening to information he doesn't care about (he's working on it).

[daddyhoothoot]

My personal hc is that Stolas is autistic (cuz same) but curious what the overall fandom has to say

Is Stolas Autistic (coded)

Definitely

He has autistic tendencies but may not be autistic

He is neurodivergent in some form (unclear)

He’s neurotypical (not autistic)
