you mentioned rei in the tags of that autistic characters post and i spent a full 5 minutes just Pondering him. didn't even have any coherent thoughts i just sat there rotating him in my mind. if you want to share i'd Love to hear your rei analysis bc i wholeheartedly agree that it's about the autism. rei haru and momo are three characters who i just. cannot even really conceive of Without thinking of them as autistic? they all present in very different ways but all 3 of them are i think so clearly autistic and they are very special to me

(okay I’m pretty sure this is from a month or two ago oops BUT) yeah yeah yeah!! Fr! is that “say thank you to the four bears of autism” post and I’m just sitting there like “thank you haru. thank you rei. thank you ikuya. thank you hiyori”

If I’m remembering the specific thought I was having about Rei correctly, I was thinking about how he latches onto the solid ideas of things. It’s not that he ignores complexities or downplays theories, not really, but he approaches a lot of things with the thought that there is some solid truth or correct (ideal) form to be discovered. It’s a learning curve for him to think beyond technique, beyond clinical research — he couldn’t “study” his way into swimming properly and got frustrated with there being more to the skill than physicality (things more abstract, things more variable). He wants a solid equation and a reliable answer; his mind searches relentlessly for patterns and he wants them to mean something, hold weight to them. It’s a type of black-and-white thinking that intrigues me, because even though he wants solid answers, he isn’t paralyzed at the thought of change like we see with haru other black-and-white thinkers. His insistence that there’s a solid truth and end-goal to be found in his pursuits builds a unique tenacity that lets him try again and again, continue improving, finding any way to use whatever information he’s tracked (patterns maintained, patterns broken, theories brought to life or devastatingly disproven) in a meaningful capacity.

It’s a natural thought pattern that I personally read into Rei’s character, and it makes his character evolution throughout the series even more interesting. Befriending the other Iwatobis for Rei is putting stock into the abstract, the emotional, ideals like “beauty” — it’s a show of trust and vulnerability on his part, because this realm of thinking is harder for him. Trying to see swimming and relay through the eyes of his team, conceptualizing connection and emotionality to it all, it’s not an immediate thing for him, but it’s something he learns to want. He wants to know how to look at a nebulous concept and not be overwhelmed by the variability of it, or get overwhelmed in a euphoric way, where he doesn’t need a solid definition or list of theories to appreciate and identify something that simply is. It’s a part of why he eventually gets along with Nagisa so well, I think — for all of the ways their thought patterns differ and collide, there’s an element of idealistic whimsy and perseverance to Nagisa that bolsters the part of Rei that’s also endlessly curious.

I have a lot of Rei feelings about this part of him, about how the Rei we get to see is almost in spite of his instincts. He’s purple (a blended secondary color), he’s a butterfly (creature known for its metamorphosis, beautiful because it allows itself to change), he goes from a sport pounding the earth and flying in the air alone to being completely submerged and trusting others to support his charge. He’s a character who epitomizes growth and change, and that’s so essential to the stories fr! tries to tell. I could go on about “main character rei” and “rei should’ve been more visibly present in haru’s evolution of confronting his fear of change.” Perhaps conversations for another time <3

What I love about undead is that, as people, they are the most cinnamon rollish cinnamon rolls of all cinnamon rolls, but then they perform, and it's the most Yandere shit you've ever seen. It's so funny to me 😂
