what do you think about melusines being an allegory for neurodivergence? i recently thought about it and can't view them abother way since (also in my hc human!sige would be totally autistic)
on one hand, yeah!! on the other hand, it's bit iffy when allegory for neurodivergence is not human. but i guess you could say that what's common behaviours, thoughts and perceptions of a melusine are similar to neurodivergent humans!
that said, i don't think hyv intended for the melusines to be seen as "neurodivergent" or be an "allegory" for it. rather, they're just simply not human, with a nonhuman perspective. but their different way of seeing the world, and their different behaviours can be totally relatable to someone who is neurodivergent! (part of the reason why i love the melusines so much, as someone with adhd myself and have always felt so "different" and "out of place" in a world obviously not built for people like me), and because of that, sigewinne would absolutely definitely be autistic if she was human in an au, that is, if you wanted to keep most of everything about her that makes her who she is
i dont even know what a neurotypical human sigewinne would look like.... would it even be sigewinne anymore? shudders
