thought about Sun: i often go off to my friends about how even though I love them so sooooo much, him and Moon are kind of really ableist caricatures of liek. both dissociative disorders and mental illness or neurodivergency in general...
but is it a hot take to say out of all the Things you could argue he or moon has, Sun's kinda like actually decent anxiety disorder representation that isnt stereotypical.
bc most characters implied to have anxiety are just shy and generically nice, but sun is lowk an asshole (affectionate) who often lashes out due to stress without just being straight up anger issues 24/7. representation for my anxiety fellas who sometimes feel like a stressed little dog who bites people due to Fear and aggression
I have nothing against characters who are the 'fluttershy from mlp' archetype but it feels like they're the most common characters who get coding/fandom headcanons for anxiety and its a little tiring as someone who struggled severely with anxiety as a kid. i probably WAS closer to fluttershy than sun but I wanna have more varied rep dammit!! /notmad
