>>69893 >He also gets these seizures when he tries to draw stuff apparently? I took that a bit differently, based on the Cherubs' nature. People with brain injuries that damage the connections between their two brain lobes, to where they're basically only thinking with one side of their brain, have inabilities with certain sort of mental activities, and creative things as well as visual/spatial things are one of the more common types.
My suspicion is that Calliope and Caliborn control different parts of the brain, and they both have "learning disabilities" in the sense that, until they enter adulthood and become a single, merged entity, they are unable to use both sides of their brains at the same time. Thus, Calliope gets the creativity and emotional/social intelligence that make her able to draw and make her write fanfic and make her want to be friends with people and have adventures, and while we haven't seen quite as much of it, I suspect Caliborn gets different things--I suspect it's not all negative, but right now it seems to be where the cherub's anger and destructive tendencies dwell.
I bet he's basically got ass burgers. His wanting to stick to habits even when he is able to recognize that they're not as good as other options is a symptom, and it'd make sense if Calliope gets all the social and emotional intelligence that he's going to behave a lot like that. Whether or not he has analytical skills that we haven't seen much of yet, I dunno.
Incidentally, if it IS basically Aspergers, that's still high functioning so that'd mean he's still entirely responsible for his own actions, and none of this "woobie" shit that you guys are saying the fandom is enters into it. He's entertaining, and I hope his comeuppance doesn't come too soon for us to get more mileage out of it all, but he's an evil dickwad.
