Hot take: Hermes is autistic.
I don't mean Fandaniel Hermes, the one we know in modern times. I mean Hermes as he was in Elpis and Amaurot. I'm autistic myself and I honestly can't help but notice a few things about him that I identify with, such as his affinity for animals (particularly birds), his seeming anxiety regarding change (becoming Fandaniel is a huge change), and the way he sometimes copes with said anxiety. There's also the general "feels everything way too much" vibe that he seems to give off, which I don't know if I personally identify with, but is a way I've heard others describe those of us on the spectrum before.
