#neurodivergent-coded

it’s the neurodivergent(-coded) characters for me

I relate to them a lot and kinda admire them for... not masking (too much), I guess?

Not all Love Interests do have to look conventionally attractive.

or:

Stop portraying people wearing glasses as unattractive!!!

7′Scarlet: states several times that the glasses-and-haori-wearing Toa with the messy hair is his “true self” and that he feels most comfortable in that look

Also 7′Scarlet: spends a majority of Toa’s routes portraying him in his idol look and has 70 (normal route) to 80% (both routes) of his CGs be in that look

On top of that: Toa is extremely short-sighted, needs his glasses and can’t wear contacts so him taking off his glasses all the time is inconvenient and stupid.

(Also, the “real” Toa seems neurodivergent(-coded) and I interpret his idol persona to be similar to or the equivalent of masking but maybe I’m just projecting ^^’)

Proof/CG spoilers below the cut.
