Ok ok ok SO!
I think everyone has realized that Leola was autistic. It was heavily implied both through the flashback images and Aaravos' narration-
She lined up her toys, flapped her hands (it was also shown in the trial scene), seemed to be sensitive towards loud sounds (like the other startouch elves when they talked), and walked on her tiptoes. All of those are classic signs of autism.
But there's one thing I haven't seen anyone else bring up, and that's that her giving her human friends magic and breaking the "cosmic order" or whatever could also be because of her neurotype!
Autistic people tend to have very strict senses of morality and fairness, and will disregard rules if they don't fit their idea of right or wrong. Personal example here, I used to constantly do things I was told not to because I thought the rules in question were bogus.
It's not hard to guess that Leola would find the rules about humans not having magic to be unfair- after all, her and all the other elves, and even the animals around them are full of it! So in the mind of an autistic child, this would be incredibly unfair. And she had the power to "fix" the situation! So why wouldn't she?
Why wouldn't she try to help her friends? Because it would break the cosmic order? That's vague as hell and she was a KID!
And the startouch elves atomized her, for breaking a rule she probably only half understood and thought was stupid. Because she was autistic.
Had this thought and wanted to share, makes the whole thing even more tragic.
I found a safe haven for my older sister and I-
I don’t get why everyone hates Otto after everything he’s done for the people around him. There’s a literal never-ending list- Going on for 500 years to save the love of his life, saving Kiana as a kid (from both the Hershinger (idk how to spell rn bear with me) and the fire), blaming himself for everything even though quite brutally, Kallen was the one who still unleashed Honkai and much, much more. 😭
He even died with peace and people still be hating on him, the audacity of these people 💀
Most of the things people hold against him are either lies, or exaggerated facts that don't take into consideration all the good he did. Because let's not forget, humanity has fared so well against Honkai because of HIM who organized Schicksal in a real anti-Honkai organization. He gave a new chance to Sirin in form of Kiana, and that saved Mei and then Bronya as well. Humanity got Herrscher of Void, Thunder and Flamescion on the side of humanity because of him. The strongest Valkyrie, Durandal, grew up this good because of him. If humanity really will manage to defeat Honkai once and for all, it will be because of him. Kallen has a new chance in life because of him. His sacrifice, and I don't mean just the latest chapter, but all his 500 years life, has granted humanity a new future, something not even the Previous Era with all its Moths and everything had managed to achieve. He is the real hero of HI3, and he doesn't deserve all the hate he gets.
Alhaitham never once believed that referencing records written in all languages would help one gain a comprehensive understanding of the world. However, this doesn’t mean that he stops his contemplation, for a silent record is not the end of the search for truth, but a method to raise questions.
but oh, my heart was flawed; i knew my weakness. so hold my hand, consign me not to darkness.
