Falin Touden is an example of the manic pixie dreamgirlification of autistic girls
the same traits that made Shuro actively resent Laios (strength in noticing details, specific unusual interests, weak social skills, propensity to daydream/get lost in thought) made him fall in love with Falin because they were repackaged in a cute girl
my mom loves to lie and like she always swears she was NEVER homophobic or anything to me as a child “i even have a gay work friend” but a really funny memory resurfaced recently where i asked if i could use birthday money i had to buy a rainbow flag when i was like ??? 7?? because i LOVED rainbows. and she said no that means something Evil and god will hate you . so what did i do. but ask my grandmom for a rainbow sweater for christmas and proceed to only wear that sweater for three years when it got cold because i didnt like the idea that god hated colors and i wanted to challenge him
normal 7 year old with religious trauma: oh no god can hear my thoughts and punish me
me: either you are wrong about god or god is wrong and i will fight him and i will be the one to find out
grizzled dead-inside hired assassin but he never falls for the femme fatale he only falls for the Completely Awkward Guy At The Computer and it’s really frustrating for him
sorry had to revise this from secret agent to assassin; I want no connotations of suaveness. i want a functioning alcoholic who hasn’t shaved in days bleeding (“am I bleeding? jesus fu—”) from a torso wound, passing out, gun in hand, and waking up to Guy At The Computer making a functioning nuclear reactor in Minecraft. He looks up groaning and is just like “bad news: i’m still alive worse news: i’m deeply attracted to this….person” nerd swivels around in an ergonomic chair “oh you’re awake!” takes off his headset and he’s wearing a loss t-shirt
