The thing that really gets to my heart about how Laiosâs autism is portrayed in his conflict with Toshiro is that his pain is centered and sympathized with.
How many dozens, hundreds of stories have we gotten about that obnoxious side character who just wonât take the hint and get lost, plaguing the main character who is never up front about their actual feelings but weâre supposed to relate to? How itâs played for humor half the time, a lighthearted burden on the main to make them roll their eyes before the Big Challenges of their story, with no thought to the pain and loss of the side character investing so much emotion into caring for someone who finds them a nuisance?
I think itâs even more poignant that Ryoko Kui is writing from a Japanese perspective that puts Toshidoâs approach even more in the default, culturally enforced norm, but still asks âwhat about the feelings of the person who doesnât have that all-important knack for âreading the roomâ and picking up on all those invisible messages never said aloud?â and encourages us to care
obsessed where stories where it is like. the mistakes are unfixable and the worst thing that could happen happened and nothing can go back to how it was. but there was still love in this and love will continue after this and love endures always.
If you've ever been disappointed by dragonfruit, especially if you felt like it tasted like nothing, then I'm like 90% sure you had unripe dragonfruit, which tastes like nothing. There's a small window of time where it tastes amazing. You must have the patience of a hunter. Do not strike until your prey is at its most delicious
Really ratcheting up the drama in the next installment of Lackadaisy!
Rough animation here by the amazing Sam Kessler (who seems to have also written a cucumber into the script).
