Soul Eater disability meta

For [community profile] month_of_meta I'm doing a series on disability in Atasushi Ohkubo's manga and Soul Eater. It has that lovely "problem" where there are a bunch of characters with disabilities in the cast, so...meta series!

There's two posts so far. Warning for both: This REALLY HUGE SPOILER (seriously, it's huge) became essential to my argument(s.) This spoiler is only in the manga, and at chapter 70-something, at that. See individual headings for other warnings.

Title: Disability in Soul Eater pt. 1: Asura and Crona 
Characters: Asura, Crona
Content notes: discussion of child abuse, body horror, mind and body control, mental illness
Summary: A discussion of the series's disabled antagonists.

Title: Disability in Soul Eater, pt. 2: OCD Goth Cowboy Jesus for Great Justice
Characters: Death the Kid
Content notes: discussion of obsessive-compulsive disorder and suicidal ideation. Also, lots of pictures.
Summary: An analysis of Death the Kid, because he is fabulous.
