uhhh so it’s a webseries about two roommates?

i think it’s interesting to think of Jay as having been a bit of a savant as a kid and that leading to a disregard (or lack of care) for his emotional experience or the way he behaves. this kid is most likely going to be an accomplished piano player, it doesn’t matter if he’s socially awkward. most geniuses are. autistic people who aren’t particularly “gifted” in the way Jay is (and there are a lot of us) have to make ourselves socially useful because we’re not necessarily expected to accomplish great things. this is also the baggage around autism diagnoses in general because there’s the stereotype of an autistic person (usually a boy) who’s unaware of social cues but excels in one skill. unfortunately the interiority of the autistic savant isn’t considered and they aren’t encouraged to develop healthy emotional skillsets, leading to burnout and difficulty regulating emotions as adults…

going to be a bit sincere for a second but my mattjay playlist is verrrry populated with 2000s-2010s indie rock of the r/indieheads variety because it’s music i latched onto as an identity formation thing when i was a young teenager. as a consequence, i’m delusional primed to believe that every other freckle by alt-j is the most romantic song ever recorded. if you really think that you can stomach ME! and etc.
