Some Of The Reasons I Think Stolas Is On The Spectrum

Some of the reasons I think Stolas is on the spectrum

(finally getting around to popping this on up too).

He has special interests & misses social cues while being happy in them.

It not really normal to be happy reading legal documents when someone's life is on the line. But Stolas is just vibing that he gets to help with his love of words. Yay him!

Some Of The Reasons I Think Stolas Is On The Spectrum

Stims

He stims when both happy & sad to help regulate his emotions.

His happy stims are:

*clapping when he gets to take Via to the circus, because he thinks they can enjoy it together.

He also does this with contract reading.

*He hopps up and down when his dad gives him a new books. Also when getting ready for his date with Blitz. He's just so happy he needs to hop.

His sad stims:

*are bang his head again and again about the engagement.

*He self sooves with chest strokes when Blitz says his outfit is too much.

*He hand rubs and wringing his hat when worrying about Via in LA.

Special interests

The there's that Stolas info dumps on the playdate with Blitz all about his books and about plants.

Stolas also feels he has to explain why Blitz horse joke was soo funny. And why's it so funny?

Because it's accurate. I love his little cutie.

But he's also kept up his love of plants as a major hobby now he's an adult. When most people tend to swap interests as they age.

Side bar

His comfy resting hand position is t rex hands. This tends to be an autistic thing. Also works well as an owl.

Sensory issues

Stolas appears to also have some sensory issues too. When his a child he appears to be struggling when Mr Butler touches his hair out of nowhere.

But he's fine with Blitz doing it when they're kissing. This shows a lot of trust between them.

I think it's likely sensory issues are the reason why he swaps into his comfy, very old robe, as often as he can too.

Specific communication issues

While Stolas is very good at some communication styles, he's pretty bad at others.

When the audience think it's another joke about wanting to keep a puppy; he immediately knows Blitz's is panicking the studio. And tries to get to him.

However he doesn't get that his dirty talk is way OTT, because he's mostly likely coping it from the erotica. Not lived experience.

Speaking of erotica.

There's obviously a rule that reading is allowed at the diner table. But Stolas doesn't get This book isn't appropriate to read there.

Another rule he appears to follow more rigidly than most probably would; is that when you get an appointment you wait till you're seen.

Ozzie's ment to met Stolas at noon, but doesn't make it till 4 pm because of problems with work.

Stolas is only a couple of days out of the hospital and is probably feeling horrible.

But he sticks around a minimum of 4 hours to be seen, because he feels he has to.

(I'm assuming he also got taught you turn up earlier rule, but this just a guess).

Stolas genuinely wants to do something Via will enjoy, and he's fine taking Via to stylish occult when she asks.

But didn't get it till she's crying and sad that she wasn't enjoying Loo Loo Land.

"I take it you are.. not having fun." She needs to spell it out. Sarcasm isn't easy for him to interrupt.

His was obviously thought taking his daughter and his lover out to a theme park would be a good way to introduce them.

It's the sort of plot that only works on a novellas. And that's probably when he got it from. (Probably worked great for Gabrielle and Alejandro).

These are examples of him Masking, and not understanding why it didn't work.

Stella's being dangerous to be around = take Via out somewhere for her to have fun to blow off steam.

Wanting your lover and daughter to like eachother = ask IMP to tag along as the completely unnecessary bodyguards.

He doesn't really get that flirty with his affair partner, in front of his kid while going through a divorce isn't a good idea...

He also struggles to understand when his flirting comes off as condescending too. With "ittybity imps like you" or calling him Blitzy in public. He's most likely him coping language from other goeita.

But Stolas is very good at knowing when knowing when Blitz is fine being picked up, when to reassure him with face stokes, or how to calm Blitz down from a panic attack in just a few seconds.

So it's not that he's just never learnt these skills. It's just that some communication skills are harder for him than others.

But if you disagree that fine. 🙂 I just wanted to put down some of my thoughts why I think he could be.

7 year gap Narumitsu fic recs - Part 3!

The seven year gap years are some of the richest for Narumitsu fan fiction. Below are another seven of my favourite seven year gap fics, in no particular order.

Enjoy!

1) we sleep and set fires by fictitiousregrets

Rating: M Words: 16,608 Time to read: 70 min

I'm starting the list strong here. Set during the Wright's first visit to Europe, this beautifully written fic is one of my all time favourites. It features strong characterization and dialogue, and a really interesting premise. My only complaint is that it is too short. I've been craving more shared dream stories ever since (Do you know of any? If so, please share in the comments!)

~7~

2) from bond and thrall by bewitchingwind

Rating: T Words: 11,954 Time to read: 60 min

"of course there's a future," edgeworth mutters a little frustratedly, turning away perhaps. "or we would not be here doing this." phoenix's heart flickers on."

This is art. This is prose. This is a word-based painting. The choice of not using capitalization in this story provides a feeling of things ephemeral yet existing outside of time. Feeling like something a little different? Please give this one a chance. It's beautiful.

~7~

3) Locked Hearts and Hidden Voices by flybykeylimepie

Rating: T Words: 10,780 Time to read: 50 min

In keeping in the theme of 'something different,' this stories' use of second person narrative puts you intimately within Phoenix’s shoes. To me, it felt really refreshing and one of the most creative fics I’ve ever read. And it's a good. Recommending it so more people get to be challenged inspired by it!

~7~

4) Major and Minor Keys by FlanmanZ

Rating: T Words: 15,848 Time to read: 70 min

Every now and then, I come across a hidden gem of a fic. THIS IS ONE OF THEM!!!!! Seriously this was written in 2021!? I keep scrolling up and wondering why the stats aren’t higher! The writing is gorgeous, the dialogue is so well written and the tension so delicately crafted. At the end of that last paragraph, I wanted a cuddle!!! Or to give one to the author or writing and sharing this! I shared this one before in a separate post, it fits this list I would love more people to feel the feels, celebrate and appreciate this work with me :P

~7~

5) Proxy by ThunderheadFred

Rating: E Words: 37,009 Time to read: 2.5 hours

A Narumitsu 7 year gap classic that takes place in Germany, shortly after the disbarment. This beautifully written fic has some wonderfully angsty moments and a super smart premise. I've read this one at least 3 times and highly recommended it.

~7~

6) Of Unravelled Knots by Ekat

Rating: E Words: 71,846 Time to read: 5 hours

This long fic is recommended for those that like stories of Phoenix slowly emerging out of his hardened shell after the 7year gap. It is written however, from Miles' point of view. The author is skilled and knows how to build tension, laugh out loud humour, and layers of complexity and sweet relief. I lurves it.

Enjoy!

~7~

7) So, when this loose behaviour I throw off by ehtala

Rating: M Words: 12,784 Time to read: 60 min

HOO! You know when you come across a fic where people keep smashing their keyboard into gibberish and referencing how they want to lick windows, eat wallpaper etc. etc.? This might be the fic that tempted me into similar behaviour. I keep coming back to this one again and again. And again. There is just something about a cagey Phoenix revealing his strategic mind, or how he and Miles navigate through all the barriers to finally connect... GAH! It just a does something to me. I consider this a Narumitsu classic, written by a Narumitsu master. Yeah, you might of read it before - be kind to yourself and read it again. Highly, highly recommended.

~7~

Want more?

See Part 1 and Part 2 of this series.

And yes! I do have enough in my bookmarks for a part 4 (heh, and almost enough for a part 5). However many of them are drabbles and short super short fics. Please let me know if you'd like me to share them as a separate list, or as 1 part of another collection of 7!

And that's it for now. I hope you enjoy them all!

Looking at Klavier's canon 7 Years Ago vs Present Day designs, I do love the decision to smooth out his silhouette as an adult.

Where he once was jagged all over, he's now refined his look into a few sharp points.

He goes from cargo pants tucked into combats boots to slim-fit pants over boots with subtler tread. The collar pops less drastically. His longer hair keeps the sharp elements but within that smooth silhouette.

His blazer adds that eyecatching purple, replaces the kitschier elements of the top (the gold Gs & shoulder studs), smooths out the sleeves, and unifies the color scheme with its breast pocket.

It all reflect his maturity while still retaining key elements of his aesthetic: the silver chain-type jewelry, sharp hair, and purples. In fact, it adds a level of intentionality & emphasis to what stays. His hair even has a yin and yang shtick going on with his Gavinners emblem.

So, I just finished Turnabout Tomorrow (which was completely insane) and I've taken a screenshot each time Edgeworth said one way or another « Typical Phoenix ».

And yeah, there are a LOT.

The conclusion is that no one knows Phoenix like Miles...
