// Here's a masterpost of Larry being VERY VERY VERY (unintentionally) autistic-coded. From his backstory in the Official Book of Leisure Suit Larry.

Like, yeah it was definitely not intentional coding and more done to drive the point home how "socially inept" and geeky Larry is, but I mean... Sad fact of the matter is that a lot of Nerdy Loser™️ stereotypes and characters, especially from the late 80s-early 90s when Larry 1 came out, are sorta built around neurodivergent traits and observations from the outside looking in.

And Larry struggling with a lot of the same things I do all his life and finally deciding to break out of his comfort zone and live and find love--even though it took a major traumatic life change for him to get to that point--is very poignant to me. It makes me hopeful.

I love Larry. ♡

// WAUUUGHHHH THANK YOU???????? oh my god this is so sweet, i didn't expect this thank you so much!!!!!!! i have no idea why eric's blog doesn't work in mentions, i'll look into that. here's a link to it for those that would like it!!!!

BUT THANK YOU?? it makes me so, so happy you enjoy my Little Fellas ;___;

~~for Felix, the mun behind @feeblefortuity and @polyesterpeacock, who does such a fantastic job of two muses who are criminally underrated. their humour for Larry is on point with Sierra's style back in the day, and there's a great balance between the cheesy bits and the underlying something-ain't-quite-right feel. and i just wanna hug Eric, like goddamn, he's trying his best to be a good dad despite everything~~

Say something positive about one of your RP partners in my inbox and I’ll @ them so they can see it! Let’s promote positivity!

Pspsps, Felix, you've earned some well deserved love and praise. Please come collect and know you are appreciated. ♥ (Apologies, I can't get the Eric blog to show up for pinging.)

Updated the spiel about Larry's abilities on his bio. A lot of Larry's stuff has been a loooong process of thinking things up and out, so I have to periodically go back and elaborate on things. Both doc and on-blog bio page has been updated, but I'll post it here as well.

Larry’s got a few supernatural abilities, both from his little extraterrestrial incident years ago, and just by way of bein’ a Toon: Hammerspace - Larry can store items he’s come across and retrieve them again at a moment’s notice, regardless of the shape or size of said item. Semi-Invulnerability - Like regular invulnerability but slightly worse. High pain tolerance, and the ability to bounce right back from injuries that would land a regular human in the hospital. Squash-And-Stretch - Part of Larry’s enhanced durability comes from the fact that he’s got some very minor elastic qualities to him as a Toon. It’s not extreme and it’s also not voluntary, but it helps when he’s, say, thrown from a building..or a moving vehicle..or plane. He’s very throwable. Reloading - Larry exists permanently within a transitional state of existence. He is alive, but he is dead. He is dead, but he is alive. He isn’t a ghost or a zombie, he’s entirely corporeal and by all accounts alive and healthy, but his stint in space unlocked a latent ability to hop between planes of reality…apparently in a manner so traumatic, it partially ripped Larry from existence itself. If somehow Larry’s enhanced durability doesn’t bail him out and he does actually meet his demise… it doesn’t last very long. He’ll “wake up” moments later, good as new. Your muses will see this as a short, distorted “glitch” effect concentrated on Larry for a few seconds, in which he’ll disappear and reappear as he was before whatever caused his death. This isn’t exactly a “rewind” effect as it appears to be, though. Larry knows when he’s died, and remembers everything about it.

// i think its funny that my blog's Lore heavily ties into both a defunct online game from 1998 that is almost if not entirely inaccessible now, and a sequel that didn't even come out. legend behaviour.

[polyesterpeacock]

god i need someone to use Modern slang on larry and he's just like. "please slow down, i'm almost 80. who said that."

"she cooked. she's serving. she ate." "…who's cleaning up?"

[polyesterpeacock]

// i'm watching a playthrough of larry 6 (the first voiced-acted larry game), and i feel like larry's little giggle after he introduces himself sounds much more like an involuntary vocal tic in that game than it does in 7, which is what I kinda headcanon it as being.

I have no idea how to extract the audio in 6 like I can in 7, though. 😔

[polyesterpeacock]

// so. this hasn't ever happened in any thread or ooc or anything, so i'm not singling anybody out just trying to cover all my bases, but please be very careful about referring to Larry as a goblin or gremlin or things like that. i headcanon him as Jewish, and i'm Jewish myself, and for (what hopefully are) obvious reasons that's uh. Not A Good Thing to call us and has some very deep, very bad connotations that go waaaaay back.

again, no one's done this! and i don't think anyone would, but i wanna make a little note just in case.
