Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made For Some Great Neurodivergent-Coded Representation

[eleiyaumei]

it’s the neurodivergent(-coded) characters for me

I relate to them a lot and kinda admire them for... not masking (too much), I guess?

..Yes, 2 out of 4 are voiced by the same VA. I like Morikubo-san’s voice.

Not all Love Interests do have to look conventionally attractive.

or:

Stop portraying people wearing glasses as unattractive!!!

7′Scarlet: states several times that the glasses-and-haori-wearing Toa with the messy hair is his “true self” and that he feels most comfortable in that look

Also 7′Scarlet: spends a majority of Toa’s routes portraying him in his idol look and has 70 (normal route) to 80% (both routes) of his CGs be in that look

On top of that: Toa is extremely short-sighted, needs his glasses and can’t wear contacts so him taking off his glasses all the time is inconvenient and stupid.

(Also, the “real” Toa seems neurodivergent(-coded) and I interpret his idol persona to be similar to or the equivalent of masking but maybe I’m just projecting ^^’)

Proof/CG spoilers below the cut.

Above: CGs of Toa’s normal route.

Below: CGs of Toa’s normal and true routes.

BTW: Before playing his true route, the CG gallery had his original look on the right side. I’m soo mad that it got replaced by his idol look -.-* T_T
