#autistic dick Simmons

[autisdicksimmons]

I could literally talk about all of Simmons’s body issues for hours (no I’m not projecting ahaha) but yes he’s trans and struggles with disordered eating and he’s trans and he’s autistic and all combined those things give him a super hard time enjoying functioning as himself especially in body-related ways (these thoughts are gonna be disjointed deal w it sorry dude)

But like, the way that he gets after Grif when it comes to food, and drinking, and smoking, and everything else? Yet despite this, we know that he has quite the self-destructive streak (crying and punching mirrors) which makes him a huge hypocrite— so why get after Grif like that? One could say that it’s because he has his body parts, but that can’t be all true because he’s still getting mad at Grif before the surgery, so it’s just things that he finds inherently undesirable traits— traits that have anything to do with a lack of self control, which Simmons believes himself to have. Not to mention the fact that he doesn’t seem surprised at all when Sarge uses withholding rations as a punishment— so either A. Sarge does that a lot, which could be true though we never see him do it after season 1 B. He’s accustomed to this as a punishment.

I think B is most plausible, given Simmons’s general demeanor and upbringing. He gets mad at Grif for not doing anything to earn food, then “overindulging” anyway, where Simmons views food as just that: something to be earned. Likely he was sent to bed without supper as a punishment as a kid, or forced himself to study through meals or similar behaviors at the very least. In my own mind it goes further than that, but his relationship with food is definitely complicated (especially with his mentioning going vegan after having to eat a dog at a previous outpost??? Holy shit that’s a trauma). Especially being trans (bc he is) even though he speaks far more positively about his mother than his father, the way that body issues get passed down from mothers to their afab children? Even if it wasn’t an intentional thing on his mothers part, those things are too easy to pick up

More on the having to eat the dog thing too, that history of food insecurity/starvation, plus being generally food anxious, is definitely something that lends itself to rationing and portioning and keeping their stock organized… which he does. And then consistently gets mad at Grif for eating more than his planning has allowed for. What’s one of the first things we learn he’s been doing in season 11? Growing fucking cabbage. Which, for one, how, but also the fact that he’s the only one of them to do something like that says a lot about who he is. Stupid, anxious about food, and resigned to the fact that no one is coming to get them (or at least planning for that scenario).

Not to mention, trans people are WAY more likely to develop ED’s than cis people, and I don’t even need to go into all of the reasons I think he’s trans bc I feel like that’s a separate post and I’m sure someone else has already summarized it better— but anyway, picturing a young Simmons, struggling to fit in and be good enough for his parents and not hate himself entirely and have control over something? Yeahhh OOF plus, I’m also not explaining why I think he’s autistic rn, but adding autism to the mix? Having difficulty with certain foods and textures makes it hard to want to eat to begin with, and with the kinds of pressure he seems to have faced as a child to be strong and tough and athletic and generally not his nerdy self, having sensory problems probably made it just that much harder, making him hate the way his body responds to things other people, “normal people,” can handle fine, returning him to that cycle of self-hatred, and that’s just within himself ignoring all of the bullying we know that he’s faced. It’s no wonder the dude showers in his underwear still, like, bro’s self conscious and anxious and probably just generally does not like his body.

Also his ass is literally a fax machine. That’s gotta do a toll on the psyche

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Red vs. Blue Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Michael J. Caboose & Dick Simmons, Dexter Grif & Dick Simmons Characters: Dick Simmons, Michael J. Caboose, Dexter Grif Additional Tags: Tickling, Autistic Simmons, Autistic Michael J. Caboose, Non-Sexual Praise Kink, Awkwardness, hand holding, hand kissing, Yeah I may have a hand kink, I swear this isn't actually sexual Series: Part 2 of Y'all Need Therapy. Have Some Tickles Summary:

Simmons can't sleep. Caboose proposes some tickles to help. But you can't possibly tickle hands. Right?

[autisdicksimmons]

YES I want to add onto this bc I am also autistic and hc them both as autistic too

Because I personally feel like Caboose? He’s disabled, and he knows that. He was probably diagnosed pretty young, and while I’m not saying in any way he had it easy or easier, he knew that he was autistic, and he doesn’t mask well, so he doesn’t try as hard. If there’s one thing I always love about Caboose (there are a lot, but you know) it’s the fact that he has no problem with who he is. He has problems with how other ppl treat him, yeah, but he doesn’t blame how he is for it.

Simmons? He fits the “gifted kid never got diagnosed bc he was smart and quiet” stereotype so well, down to the way he masks so heavily but is anxious all the time. He clearly has social scripts (like season 11 when he and grif are spying on the blues and get confronted by tucker), and plans for nearly everything and panics when the situation is bout of his control. He has anger issues and is self destructive and can’t regulate his emotions well— but he attributes all of these things to him just being a loser and a failure, feeding the self hatred train (I also think him being autistic has A LOT more to do with his complicated relationship to his dad than we even see, but that’s a while nother topic).

Obviously RT didn’t intend for either of them to be that way, but honestly idc what they think at this point— I just want Caboose and Simmons to become friends. It would be really good for Simmons especially to just chill tf out for once with someone who he doesn’t think is going to judge him, and Caboose being lonely breaks my heart that boy deserves all of the friends— plus, Simmons is half robot. I feel like they would have fun with that.

hmm havent been rvb posting much..... time to talk about simmons and caboose! cause a while ago i saw a post saying that simmons and caboose are on "opposite ends of the autism spectrum", which is SO true and i wanna talk about the different ways theyre each autistic coded.

[apparently i am incapable of writing a reasonable length post, sheesh]

bc like. simmons is what people typically think "mild" autism looks like. textbook "aspergers". theres a reason im using terms that arent used by the autistic community, and its because autistic people arent the ones who make these kinds of distinctions. this is autism as seen by neurotypicals: socially awkward, smart in one area of expertise but talks about it a little too much, annoyingly pedantic at times.... you get the idea. and while these are autistic traits that i can relate to, i feel like caboose is a better representation of what it feels like to actually have autism. like, he has an easier time making friends with robots than people, he never understands whats going on except for the time travel in season 17, where hes the ONLY one who understands it. he doesnt understand figurative language, constantly misses obvious social cues or breaks unwritten rules that everyone should know, and has a very hard time lying, deceiving, or keeping information from people.

and i think the reason caboose is more relatable even though simmons is more "textbook" autistic, is because caboose is written as DISABLED. he has a hard time following simple conversations. he cant understand things that should be obvious. everyone around him is constantly frustrated because "why cant he just DO it??" so even if his symptoms dont line up exactly with autism (especially since the way hes written changes over the course of the show), at the end of the day, autism is a disability. so personally, i relate a lot more with him and his struggles than someone like simmons, who is awkward and "weird", but doesnt really seem to struggle with day to day life.

in short: simmons is what masked autism (especially if you have a useful special interest, like computers) looks like from an outside perspective. a little awkward, talks too much, but smart where it counts. generally "useful", and mostly "normal". but caboose is what it feels like to grow up with autism. always confused, everyone treats you like youre different and you cant really do anything about it, cant seem to get along with anyone even though you just want to be friends, and no matter what you do, you screw up everything you touch.

anyway im not saying that simmons isnt autistic, or that hes "less" autistic (bc that isnt a thing lol). simmons just masks a lot better than caboose. thats what an autistic person pretending to be "normal" acts like (its certainly how i act around other people lmao). but because hes not written by an autistic person, they write him like thats all there is to it. which is kind of unfortunate because it feels like theres a whole other side to him that we never really get to see.

now, the fact that the writers set out to write a nerd and wrote an autism stereotype, and set out to write a dumbass and wrote someone who is clearly disabled..... that is a whole separate conversation that im not gonna get into. especially since i dont really know much about rooster teeth, aside from the fact that the fandom seems to have wholly rejected them, and of course what i can see just from watching the show. but i think its clear that its not exactly good representation.

anyway, i still hc them both as autistic, and if/when i write them, i hope my interpretation reflects that while still being true to the characters. it actually works out great for me that theres one autistic person on each team, because whenever im thinking of dialogue and i have an idea thats a little too autistic (like saying something really blunt or picking up on a pattern most people wouldnt notice) i can usually give it to one of them instead of writing it out entirely. which works out really well for caboose especially, because he tends to be quiet during exposition unless hes addressed (bc he cant follow it). so having him make autism commentary can break up all the "blue team problems" nicely. plus having him innocuously call people out when theyre being ambiguous is WAY funnier than "haha caboose doesnt know whats going on" imho

For the fandom ask: Person of Interest 💜

For the ask game. Oh no, it's been YEARS since I watched POI and I don't think I even finished all the seasons.

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

Bear the dog! Haha, of course it's going to be a toss up between Root and Shaw. At this moment probably Shaw because I have big autistic feelings and emotions are hard okay.

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

If I say Bear again is it cheating. Joss Carter!

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

Is Carter underappreciated? Because Joss Carter deserves the world and better than what she got :( If going by fandom I may even say Reese because while he is the obvious lead of the show, I actually appreciate the soft-spoken guy a lot.

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

Zoe Morgan needs more love too for dealing with all these weirdos.

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

Root's definitely up there on the problematic scale! Fun fact, she was a reference point for my first D&D 5e campaign character.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

Shaw but she'd enjoy it so it's really a win-win.

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

It's been a while so i can't remember how annoying all the villains were. Let's go with Simmons for killing Carter and being an overall dick.

Deontay Wilder Knocks Out Internet Troll Charlie Zelenoff In Real Life

 this sums up my feelings about the whole sam hyde simmons thing, in case you are unfamiliar thats charlie selenoff and hes not a fucking “troll” its been actaul fucking years since ive seen troll used correctly, it makes me fucking cringe for some reason, anyway this guy has some kind of SERIOUS mental disability, what he does is go to gyms like planet fitness and go up to strangers asking if theyd like to do some “light sparring” and the moment they put their gloves on he just unloads on them, catching them completely unaware and then he claims it as another win in his “three hundred and O” boxing record or whatever the fuck. thats clearly not fucking cool at all and the guy is a menace, but again he CLEARLY has a serious developmental disability, the man hes fighting is a fucking former heavyweight UFC champion who has too much of a smooth ape brain to realize that fighting this guy makes him look like a fucking idiot. Zelenoff NO DOUBT brought this on himself by calling his daughter the n word and god knows what else, but again hes a FUCKING FORMER UFC HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, he should be so far above this that he doesnt even know charlies name, he OUGHT to be humiliated by this but frankly hes just too low IQ to understand why this is wrong, and i say that to his credit im sure hes actually a decent man but i dont think hes bright. sam on the other hand is bright enough to know that its not fuckin cool to bully an autist just because you can make him look like hes a pedophile based on snippets of his book out of context or edgy instagram jokes that dont land, thats literally what severe social autism is, and if medical books were honest one of the main symptoms would be “seems a bit like a sex pest” they dont have the ability to socially filter what they are saying or more they dont know how what they are saying is gonna be recieved that IS autism. im not saying the dude isnt a creep, its just fucking mega lame to see sam and frank bully some little shrimp dick autist over fucking nothing. if they believed he actually posed a threat to kids its their fucking duty to do something about it, not talk about it and mock him like fucking women. shameful display

- Work Summary -

When the twin heirs of Queen Joanna of the Westerlands are born, the capital planet of Solaris celebrates for nine days and nine nights: three for the princess, three for the prince, and three for each Solarian sun. Soothsayers and sibyls, fortune-tellers and prophets, all agree that the children of the Sun and Moon carry great magical power within them—one shall assuredly become a Guardian Faery of the Western Realm, and the other a great hero like those of old to bring peace to all the Magical Dimension.

On the morning that Queen Joanna’s death is announced, every light and fire in Casterly Rock is extinguished in honor of their beloved queen.

Basically what happens when you re-watch the Blood Gulch Chronicles and look too closely at team dynamics and think "What if Sarge was Simmons' dad and was also looking after Donut, Grif, and Sister?"

Retired staff sergeant, Sergeant Simmons, known mostly as "Sarge", left the military after his wife died to take care of his daughter, and eventually fostering Franklin, Dexter, and Kaikaina. He works for Leonard Church at Mother of Invention Industries as his head of security, his children friends with Leonard's daughter Carolina and sons Michael "Caboose" and Lavernius. Along the way, they grow up - and everything that entails - and learn to deal with personal tragedies. And maybe try and set Sarge up with someone. God knows the man is lonely.

Summary:

Simmons knows enough about the brain, about how people work on a technical level to describe what’s wrong with him. Unfortunately, no matter how many times he rolls the tapes, rewinds and rewatches every little detail of his life to pick it apart— there’s nothing he can do to fix himself.

Maybe he didn’t even have a chance to begin with.

[bonkin]

cas you played yourself for a FOOL!

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would Hit That hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff best quality: his wiggles. im kidding. i love listening to simmons talk im a geek and his diction gets me but in general? Ambition. good man. worst quality: his lack of self confidence can you imagine how POWERFUL hed be if he werent asking for an ok from somebody every 5 seconds. HE could be the authority he constantly seeks validation from if he STEPPED UP ship them with: grif is an obvious choice but church and doc and donut have also grown on me brotp them with: lopez is big obvious choice and bc im projection and a sap also grif. idc. ill die. any of the above as well. i already said grif. Oh! caboose too. needs to stay away from: tucker. himself. isolation. misc. thoughts: wow im gay for dick simmons (the crowd cheers as if surprised) also i think about him a lot. simmons’ gad and autistic qualities saved my life. also i love my simmons. thats all.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers (◠‿◠✿)

Thank you so much! And also @florchis who sent me one of these as well. I’m flattered!! Now let the bragging commence!!!

I’m not sure how much your ships and mine overlap but hopefully amongst all this there are some things you will enjoy. If there’s anything in particular you (or anyone) would like, let me know, I’d be happy to rec my own and other work to satisfy your fic cravings!

From previous self-rec asks I have a selection of Fitz/Simmons/FitzSimmons recs, and one of Skimmons/Bioquake and miscellaneous platonic recs and then… this one which is a considerably more random collection of some of my favourite fics, mostly written since those recs.

Enjoy!!

-

To Dust We Return - Daisy-centric - This is set during a slightly AU S3 break in which Daisy deals with substance abuse and quite heavy depressive thoughts during her time away from the team. I loved writing Daisy and exploring inside her mind a bit more, and I also loved the tone it ended up with.

Chaos Theory - Poly FitzSkimmons - To date, one of my fave FitzSkimmons fics of mine. It was the first time I wrote them without two of them inviting the third into a pre-existing relationship, and just the way that they all came together, I’m really proud of it.

lost in your angel eyes - FitzSimmons - This was inspired by the wonderful @florchis‘s own Command Me To Be Well, and it’s (really) soft bdsm (ish - I mean it’s just a little D/s) but it’s about trust and rebuilding that trust, particularly in the context of physical intimacy after the Framework. I gotta say, I’m a sucker for intimacy that’s sexy and steamy but also sweet & meaningful so I’m just really glad I got the opportunity to bring this into the world, I’m unexpectedly proud of it.

These Are the Days - Fitz, Fitz Family - It’s a little outdated now since we know Fitz’s dad’s name was Alistair not Arthur, and things like that, but this is about Fitz and his childhood and especially his mother and it has a mixture of angsty stuff and hopefulness and his mother is amazing and I really loved writing this. also, shoutout to @buckysbears for the autistic!fitz headcanon that shines through really strongly in this (although, content warning for some ableism bc Fitz’s dad is a dick)

Sounds Like a Song - Daisy, Philinda & Daisy, Daisy Family - A fluffy AU we all need, set in an AU where Daisy was pregnant with Lincoln’s child after S3. Daisy and the family, especially the very popular Grandma May, hang out with the beautiful Bobbi-Ann Johnson for lots of family fluff and fun. Not gonna lie, I was not expecting to love this verse nearly as much as I do love it now. (There’s also a tangentially related ‘MackElena have a kid’ fic here).

[autisdicksimmons]

simmons feels like a misophonia king honestly. is this anything

YES YES I can completely see it it seems like he’s being dramatic to everyone else, yeah, but Grif’s chewing is Literally Painful and Donut if I hear ONE MORE WINE GLASS CLINKING NOISE

[autisdicksimmons]

Also if you read Simmons as disabled (autistic in my case, but extends to other disabilities) it makes his father’s rejection of him for not being what he wanted hurt so fucking bad— honestly I doubt his parents would have even told him he was autistic. The whole “don’t tell them so they don’t internalize the label” bullshit that doesn’t actually work, so he just wonders what’s wrong with him, why nothing he does is enough, and why he seemingly gets punished for his interests— making him do sports instead of mathletes, etc. He got that particular brand of “You’re just like everyone else so stop acting stupid” mixed with “You are entirely incapable of doing anything right on your own” ableism that becomes PETRIFYING as an adult when you’re expected to just know how the world works and how to make your own choices
