The Anti Hero

don’t make me get the enclosure bro. i swear to god i’ll get the enclosure

a minor headcanon that I will die defending is that reigen initially assumed that mob’s supposed “psychic powers” were just how he rationalized his autism to himself. like here’s an obviously autistic kid, one reigen clocks immediately because he’s, well, reigen, and he’s talking about extra sensory perception and having powers he can’t control, powers that are scary. obviously, he assumes, this is something the kid picked up from his parents, a way for him to rationalize his alienation from other children— that no, you’re not “different”, you’re special (not even going into the parents who think their autistic children are like, aliens) and the other kids can see that you’re special and so they treat you like you’re weird and creepy and they don’t invite you to play and they whisper behind your back but it’s fine, because one day they’ll see how special you really are. and adult autistic reigen arataka, who was also probably-definitely bullied as a child, decides to nip that thought in the bud and gives the whole spiel, that no, “psychic powers” (autism) don’t make you special, and yes, they do make you different, and that’s fine because everyone’s different, and at the end of the day you have agency and you get to decide the kind of person you’ll be, so choose to be a kind one, and he sees this kid hanging off his every word as he tells him the kind of stuff he wishes someone had told him when he was so little and alone, and he mentally pats himself on the back and hypes himself up for another cigarette.

reblog if you hate the current interior design trend of painting everything white with hints of grey or black. ignore if you have no taste

I think one of my favorite differences between Hornet and the Knight is the fact Hornet does canonically have pouches and pockets and kits and can obtain a (dead bug's) purse and (weighted) belt which definitely is what holds all her various rosaries and shards and seared organs ect. As opposed to the Knight who (based off Salubra's dialogue seemingly implying that it *doesn't* have a pouch or purse to store its fucking massive charm collection) just sorta probably. shoves things inside itself. because it is definitely not storing SHIT in its cloak and is NOT picking up any sort of accessories to help with storage. The fact that the shade is what holds your geo can be used as very dubious evidence for this as well, but considering it exists as a corpse runback and the same applies to Hornet with her cocoon, I'm hesitant to say that is the smoking gun it could appear to be. but seriously what the fuck kind of situation was it in that led to the discovery of "I can shove things inside of my hammerspace". Hornet really contextualizes how much of a freak the Knight is because what the fuck.

Three cueing. Once you learn about it, a whole lot of very frustrating online discourse with US Americans makes so much sense 😭

If you were taught to read with the three cueing method, and now struggle to read fluently, you can still learn to read properly!
