Yep, yes, this, this is just reality. I also in general find it kind of annoying that some people question whether or not autism is a disability.
Yes, it is one. 100%. It will affect your life and you will have to deal with things that a neurotypical wouldn't. Just because we aren't really sad about being disabled or that it isn't visible, doesn't mean that it's not a disability.
Also, most who are sad about being disabled are either said about life not being what they hoped it would be (gained disability) or are more so sad about how the world treats them (any disability). It's rarely completely about the disability.
There's so much wrong with "everyone is a little bit autistic"
Yes, allistic people might know a lot of facts about the things they like. Yes, allistic people might get a bit overwhelmed or underwhelmed sometimes. Yes, allistic people might not get an expression sometimes, mostly if it's the first time they hear it.
That doesn't make them autistic.
Those traits only make someone autistic when they become disabling. Because, big shock, autism is a disability. Yeah, even if someone is low support needs, because that doesn't mean they don't need any support at all.
Saying "everyone is a little bit autistic" is like saying "everyone struggles with this, so suck it up, you have no right to need help". Which is just pure ableist bullshit. It denies the fact that autistic people have higher support needs than NTs, no matter where in the autistic spectrum they are. We're not "neurospicy", we're disabled, and denying this fact is denying us the right to get the help we need, we deserve, to have a good life.
(yes, this rant is just because I made the awful decision of listening to "neurospicy (interlude)" by Jax. honestly I'd rather be called a slur than listen to that shit again.)
Alright gang here’s your silly smooch

To the 10 people who are gonna say this isn’t sloppy enough check the line below…
Eat up you filthy animals! /pos
The thing that's makes this so much funnier for me is that Natsuo, Fuyumi, and Shouto will probably be fine due their, assuming with Natsuo and Fuyumi, iced based quirks then heat ain't gonna be that bad. Meaning that the only one who really suffers here, is Endeavor.
Shigaraki, laying on the floor: “Spinner, I think I’m dying.”
Spinner: “That’s a little dramatic. You’re the one who insisted we stay here.”
Shigaraki: “That was before I knew it was a hellscape.”
Mr. Compress: “Perhaps next time we choose a hideout, we don’t base it off of how close it is to the nearest arcade.”
Shigaraki, glares.
Mr. Compress: “Just a suggestion…”
Twice and Toga walk into the base carrying a window AC unit.
Twice: “Look at what we got!”
Spinner: “Seems like you’ll live.”
Shigaraki: “Shut up. Where did you get that?”
Toga: “Dabi helped us find it!”
Mr. Compress: “How?”
Dabi: “I have my ways.”

Endeavor, walking out of his office: “Where the hell is my AC unit?!?!”
Natsuo: “As if you even need one, you’ll never be cool.”
Fuyumi: “Natsuo!”
Shouto, high fives Natsuo.
Endeavor, leaves.

Reblog to find this again! :>
I finally did the thing
The 2" LOV charms are baaaaack
Pre-orders open until 5/25!
I lowkey kinda hate Endeavor's repentance arc. Not because I don't want to see an abusive character get better, I actually think it's incredibly important to show that people like this are capable of change but that does not inherently mean that you have to forgive them, I hate it because this shouldn't have been the wake-up call.
The wake-up call to all the damage he'd done shouldn't have been when he got what he wanted and realized that it isn't as fulfilling as he thought it be, leading to him reflecting on everything he's done to get there. No, it should've been when his eldest son "died" due to his ambition. He should've figured out just how much damage he was doing when Touya burned himself alive just to become his "perfect progeny" so that he could be "loved" by Endeavor again (he thought Touya was what he was looking for until he actually devolved his quirk and the drawback was discovered). The accident wouldn't have even happened if Endeavor had bothered to properly teach him how to turn off the fire!
To add another layer of how much Endeavor not bothering to reflect on what he's done after Touya's "death", Touya would've likely come back. It's revealed that Touya visited the Todoroki house to see how things had changed after his death, and what made him decided to continue on the war path and become Dabi was that everything was still the same. The only difference is that there was now an altar to morn him, everything else remained the same. If Touya had seen that things had changed after his death, that Endeavor worked to become better because of the tragedy, then maybe he would've stayed. Maybe he would've revealed he was alive and they could've been a family again. Don't know if they could ever be a "happy" or "healthy" family, considering everything around Endeavor and Rei getting married and the nature of Shoto's birth, but they most certainly could've been a family. One that would've stayed together, one with their mother not in a mental hospital, one that could maybe one day become proud to say that Endeavor was their father instead of refusing to his fire out of a strong desire to never be like him. But nope! Endeavor only realized how destructive he was to his own family when his youngest was 16 and "2"/4 of his children were adults (1/4 is "dead" and 1/4 is still a minor), far too late to undo any of the damage he's done. Too little, too late.
