Neurodivergent Things

[bowlifecomics]

I wonder why

[perpetuallyoverit]

fatigue is NOT getting tired from normal things . fatigue is "oh no i just stood up and it feels like i ran a marathon." . when even the most basic tasks like standing and sitting send your body into overdrive . i wish more people understood this.

As cute as this au was originally planned to be i do want to acknowledge the hurdle ill have to go through writing caines character, such as his lack of empathy

A lot of showtime fics, or comics ive seen always make Caine a more receptive and empathetic character by the beginning of the story in order to make the bond between pomni and caine more smooth. And while i personally like it, i also want to look at the more difficult aspects of their relationship, or frankly what it would be like to befriend caine. Like his adventures and inability to listen to the cast is one thing, but there’s also the fact he is not at all phased by abstractions.

That’s a key aspect to his character and how hell be able to bond with other characters. I mean imagine dating a dude and knowing he doesnt react at all to funerals of long time friends. It’s GONNA be something thats gonna be hard to accept at first, and frankly im still thinking about how pomni could try to get Caine to better himself. Like to me this au is gonna feel less like “i can fix him” but moreover “i can try to understand him”. Because caine ISNT Jax, its not like hes fighting against the idea of connecting with pomni its the regular methods of doing so dont work with him

So pomni by default IS gonna hit some roadblocks while trying to befriend him, and it might hurt along the way for the both of them

This is Also not even including the fact that he’s hiding that everyone has the ability to conjure, AND the Abel adventure. So like it’s GONNA be complicated, like i wont lie caine might suck a lot here. But hes also gonna be really awesome here too maybe.

Idk im looking more and more into different discussion of people who have family members/ loved ones who lack empathy and there IS a lot of struggle in their stories. So i dont want to hide that from them either. I myself have felt both pomnis and caines experience in this au so its also might be from the heart(lol) as well

Idk theyre just so fucking compelling to me, i wish they had more interaction in canon, fluffy or not

I noticed cw: Nanami Kento x Neurodivergent Reader

You didn't mean to snap.

The grocery store had been too bright, too loud, too crowded. People kept stopping in the middle of aisles, carts kept bumping into each other, and every sound felt like it was being played directly inside your skull.

By the time you got home, you were already overwhelmed.

Then Nanami asked a simple question.

And you broke.

"Can everyone just stop talking to me for five minutes?" you shouted.

The second the words left your mouth, regret hit.

Nanami went quiet.

You went straight to your room, shut the door, and slid down against it, hands over your ears.

You hated this part.

The crying.

The guilt.

The feeling that you'd ruined everything.

Minutes passed before there was a soft knock.

Not demanding.

Just there.

"...Can I come in?" Nanami asked.

You nodded even though he couldn't see it.

The door opened slowly.

He didn't sit next to you right away. He just sat on the floor a few feet away, giving you space.

Neither of you spoke for a while.

Finally, you whispered, "I'm sorry."

Nanami looked over.

"For what?"

"I yelled at you."

"You were overwhelmed."

"I still yelled."

A pause.

"Those can both be true."

The tears started again.

You buried your face in your hands.

"I hate being like this."

The words came out broken.

For a moment, neither of you moved.

Then Nanami shifted closer.

Not enough to crowd you.

Just enough.

"I know today was difficult," he said quietly.

His hand rested beside yours, waiting.

Not forcing.

Waiting.

When you finally reached for him, his fingers immediately intertwined with yours.

"You don't have to earn comfort," he said.

Your chest ached.

"But I'm exhausting."

"No."

His answer was firm.

"You are someone I care about."

More tears slipped down your face.

Nanami gently pulled you against his shoulder.

And for once, he didn't try to solve anything.

He simply stayed.

Steady.

Patient.

Until the world felt a little quieter again.
