Completely separate and no one with a home lunch could even sit with him because it might have peanuts, only school lunch kids because all the school lunches were peanut free. There were years I was the ONLY person who sat with him (I switched from home lunch to school lunch because I wanted to sit with him and not let him be by himself) The table was also like in a corner away from every other table super isolated.

These kids didn’t chose to not sit with him because they were being mean but because the rest of their friends had home lunch or they had a home lunch themselves. So very long winded way of saying Shane would definitely experience this type of isolation on top of the isolation he already felt for being neurodivergent and Asian.

I’m just imagining itty bitty tiny Shane sitting all alone at his peanut free table. And I made myself very sad.

Anyways thank you for the Shallergies head cannon I’m obsessed

GOD just broke my own heart thinking about this in connection to the fact that sometimes kids grow out of allergies.

like maybe shane in elementary school at least had one other kid in his grade who was allergic to peanuts who always sat with him.

and then. they grew out of it. and now they get to go sit with other people and eat reese's and pb and j and all of the stuff that shane can't be near.

and shane spots it at once and internally *sigh* preparing to keep an eye on what they're touching on the table that's shared or even maybe moving to anoth-

and then?? someone else?? points out the peanut butter?? and there's immediately a playful chorus of everyone banishing that person and their peanut butter?? to another table?? like it's 100% done lighthearted ("take your poison butter and GIT" "you're trying to take out hollzy?? what, you're a fucking double agent for buffalo?? i KNEW it."), but the person just laughs, gives shane a "sorry, dude, forgot" and then?? does take their peanut butter toast?? and goes to a fully different table??

shane who was once a little kid who had to go sit apart from everyone is now a man who gets to stay
