A list of the specific chronic illness/disability-related things in Saiki K that resonate with me personally

(Your mileage may vary, my experiences are not universal, I recognize that some of this is kind of a reach etc etc)

The limiters

Saiki’s powers have grown too strong for him to control, and before the creation of his limiters they were out of control and causing a lot of damage. Some examples cited include accidentally destroying his house in his sleep and having telepathy that reached all over Japan (something I imagine was many many times more distressing [disabling] than his current situation) The limiters weaken his psychic powers and keep them somewhat in check. It’s not perfect, and he still does have problems, but the situation is much worse without them.

This reminds me of the medication I take to keep my immune system under control. Before I started it, my immune system (thanks to MS) was causing lots of issues for me: it took the vision in my left eye, made it difficult to walk and use my arm for a few months, caused horrible leg spasms, et cetera. My medicine helps keep things in check and hopefully prevents future damage... But nothing is perfect. Of course, it’s a monthly shot instead of silly pink balls on my head! So that's a plus 👍

The way he struggles to control his body after Nendo removed his limiter unexpectedly

After being hit with a shock to his system at the sports festival, Saiki struggles harder than usual to control his strength. We see him frustrated with this as he’s eating, his hand trembling as he holds his chopsticks. He tries to power through, but the issues don’t resolve.

I’m fortunate to usually be pretty functional most days (I do have my bad days though lol). However, when I go through significant stress - either mental or physical - it makes a lot of issues pop up that usually don’t bother me. Balance issues, vision stuff.. And hand tremors. Like, I was at a sushi restaurant after getting overheated at the pride festival last year struggling a lil with my chopsticks laughing at myself like “this is just like Saiki at the sports festival…”

Developing new powers unexpectedly

A major source of stress for Saiki is being unpleasantly surprised by a new psychic ability. In the series, we see this a few times. The most notable to me is the time leap ability. He wakes up having accidentally traveled 20 years in the past (soon after it is revealed that his limiter has a defective part). Afterward, we learn when he’s stuck in the time loops with Nendo and Kaido that this time leap ability has been coming back randomly since then “As unexpected and frequent as getting the hiccups”. He spends the entire chapter trying to get control over this ability so he can continue his day as planned. In another chapter, his limiter is malfunctioning and he develops a series of useless powers that he cannot control. Clearly, the limiters are preventing new powers from developing (see my first bullet point!!)

So, another thing about conditions such as mine is that you really can just wake up one day and have some weird symptom you’ve never heard of before! I remember not long after my first big attack I was at Walmart and I just noticed that my index finger was completely numb, and it stayed that way for weeks. One time, my upper lip twitched constantly for like a month straight. Of course, more than just the relatively silly symptoms can and do pop up like that, too. For example, I had these really scary, uncontrollable spasms on my left side (paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia) that happened several times a day for about a week. For a LONG time afterward I would be terrified of them coming back. It's still in the back of my mind but I'm not losing sleep over it anymore at least. Reading those panels above re: the time leap stuff reminds me a lot of that time!

Neuroplasticity and the power remover device

When Kusuke is explaining how the power remover works, he talks about how the brain rewires itself around damaged areas to compensate. The device is designed to more completely destroy the areas of his brain responsible for the psychic abilities. Of course, the device ultimately did not work permanently. The damage it did to his brain was quickly compensated for, and the abilities returned.

When small areas of the brain are damaged (such as… due to a neurodegenerative autoimmune condition), over time the brain can often restructure to work around it. It doesn’t mean that those areas are healed, and the process is often incomplete, but that rewiring can (completely or partially) restore abilities and function that was lost in the damage. They don’t say that explicitly in the series, but that’s surely what is happening to Saiki in the final chapters! Except, you know, in a magical shonen manga way.

Resistance to the idea of needing help

After Saiki uses the power remover device, he loses his abilities and is suddenly much weaker and less capable than he was before. He was used to being extremely independent, but this change has brought him to a place where he cannot do everything on his own anymore. In the library, he struggles to get a book off the top shelf and in the process is reminded of his new limitations. He says to himself “What am I doing…!? Just get used to it already!” After the bookcase is tipped over onto him and Nendo protects him, Saiki is upset about having to be protected when he never needed it before: “I’m so useless now…” Nendo helps him realize that getting help from others is normal.

Helping each other out is one of the most fundamentally important parts of being human, but it can be hard to accept that support sometimes. This is especially the case when you’re thinking about the prospect of needing more help than you used to. I'm fortunate to be relatively unaffected most of the time so far, but I'm still grateful for when the people I love are understanding and don't make a big deal out of it. I hate the idea of being burdensome so I'm just gonna cross my fingers and hope things don't get worse lol

Conclusion: Saiki is just like me for real and I'm DEFINITELY not projecting my own problems into him at all...

we're ignoring the 20k word fic I wrote where I blatantly projected my problems onto him for seven chapters

thanks @justmagicalgirl for encouraging me last week to post this 👍

Would you look at that a normal picture of these guys ~

Right so... It's been a while. I'll be real I don't have current plans for this blog. It's once again on a mini unspoken hiatus. We've got about 34 asks in the box that I'm gonna start working my way through. For now hopefully this little drawing will suffice. :')

Edit: providing alt versions of the drawing

Great question, @ihavenoidea427!

I've considered this myself for the same reason, but ultimately decided that he probably doesn't have ADHD. I'm no psychologist, but based on what I understand, Akechi seems to show way more autistic traits.

It's hard to say since there's a pretty big overlap between ADHD and autism, and he's extremely autistic-coded, butttt I feel like the fact that he was able to stand motionless for 8 hours waiting for Saiki to exit his house kinda rules out ADHD lol.

Sure, hyperfocus exists but that's for when you're doing something enriching, and I'm pretty sure time blindness wouldn't account for that either. I guess he could theoretically be day-dreaming or something (more inattentive type), but he sure doesn't seem like he's easily distracted or has trouble focusing in general. 🤔

So yeah, I think he's just autistic in canon but I could be wrong tbh!

YOU WORK ON WELCOME HOME?!

the Welcome Home credits page remains the most secret page on the website

but jokes aside, YES! I've worked on Welcome Home for a bit over a year now actually! originally I reached out just to collaborate with Clown on a Welcome Home exhibition, but as ideas for that grew bigger + then the Big Discovery Of Welcome Home By The Broader Internet literally while we were working on that, I was very very lucky to be asked to stay on and help out with additional work! the majority of what I do is more behind-the-scenes and organizational rather than stuff folks see "onstage" as it were, but a little bit of my art & writing is on the site (I won't say what, I'm sure y'all can guess, and if you can't it can stay a mystery!) maybe there'll be more of my work soon, maybe there won't be... only one way to find out...........

#anonymous puzzler answers #psi-spectacular #it's very funny how many people don't realize I work on welcome home heehee #it makes sense given a lot of what i do is behind the scenes as stated. but it's still funny #also very funny to see this ask literally when i stepped away to take a break from update work LOL #welcome home

I want people's opinion on this-

What do you think Saikis limit for telepathy is? Not radius or anything like that but like, can he read emotions from the brain? Does he know what people are thinking before the person has thought of it?
