Listen I Understand That Boris Pavilkovsky Is A Troubled Kid And Not A Particularly Good Person, But

Listen I understand that Boris Pavilkovsky is a troubled kid and not a particularly good person, but I will never understand why Donna Tart felt the need to have him say the n-word. Explicitly. Multiple times. Never adressed.

So Vivzie or Faustisse (I cant remember which of them it was) said that Niffty isn't very smart, and she definitely acts a lot younger than her canon age, so I came up with a tragic little headcanon to explain it:

Niffty grew up in an abusive home and when she was around twelve or thirteen her dad struck her head very hard with a frying pan. This caused her be developmentally stunted. Husk and Alastor are aware of this, which is why they're so patient with her.

The way I view my childhood is weird because on the one hand, I strongly disagree with how I was raised. But on the other hand, everything was so much simpler before I started questioning. Ignorance really is bliss.

For real! I wanna see self harm stims in media! I wanna see autistic having meltdowns on days that are supposed to be happy, like holidays and birthdays!

I wish there was more representation of autistics who struggle to regulate their emotions. I don't see this alot. Personally, I have alot of struggle with regulating my own emotions as an autistic person. It feels like I'm feeling all my emotions ten times stringer than they are meant to be, and it's so difficult to process that. I want to see the ugly side of autism more in pieces of media that show representations of autistic people. I don't care if the way it's shown makes the character seem like "bad people."" Autism isn't all cute/quirky stimming and special interests. Show me an autistic character having a meltdown because they got a question or two wrong on the test because of a silly mistake, beating themselves up over it, then crumbling it up and throwing the test away (true story). Show me autistic characters having an identity crisis because they subconsciously mask so much that they don't know what parts of them are real and what's just them masking.

I want to see complex autistic characters!

Some people in Helluva Boss fandom really tick me off with how they hate on Loona for her treatment of Blitz. And although I tbankfully don't see a huge amount of this, it still enrages me when I do.

My first reaction to this god awful take is always to think: it's comedy. You're not supposed to take it so seriously.

But if you ARE going to take it seriously, you should realize that almost every time Loona attacks Blitzo, it's when he initiates or tries to initiate physical contact. And you should realize that Loona grew up in Hell's version of foster care, and if it's bad on Earth, it's worse in Hell.

You should also realize that the way Blitzo constantly infantilizes her and enables her behavior isn't helping matters. Loona is extremely traumatized, socially awkward, and insecure. What she needs is therapy, although I doubt they could afford it even if Blitzo could convince her to go.

Having said this, I promise I'm not attacking Blitzo. He's a fascinating character in his own right and I'm not attempting to vilify him. I'm merely pointing out unfairness of villifying Loona.

Humanized Crymini! Aa you can see, I've chosen to HC her as Irish, French, and Guatemalan, as well as being bisexual. I've also interperted some of her markings as scars, as well as adding a few other scars. Her purple pin says: Punks Not Ded U R

And I didn't include this in the art, but I also HC her being autistic and having BPD and CPTSD
