#refferring to myself in 3rd person for the sake of readability

[sw33t-oubliette]

okau soo basicallyyyy ^_^

starting with wired wrong and the spine in general , and autism

these can very easily be read as a neurodivergency/autism allegory . i dont think i need to explain here really .

to me these are about finding out its not just you that has something wrong with them and its not actually "wrong" . its just how you are . "Sometimes i think that i am the only one / whos been built poor in the way he runs / but how can that be ? am i really that flawed ?" Supports this

this reads like that part of finding out youre neurodivergent where its like . that cant be true . ive been functioning completely fine and normal my whole life . the denial phase yk . This also ties in with spine's recurring masking allegory [and whole character tbh .that thang has autism and 4 secret other disorders] , seen in robot 8:00am and his updgrade in the 50s .

robot 8:00am is a short video uploaded on the band's youtube . it starts with the spine in his usual makeup/paint , he walks up to the camera and starts painting over himself with peach paint .it cuts and shows his actor without any of the makeup on and he puts a jacket on and walks out the door , text fading onscreen that says "human 8:45am"

this is a masking allegory 2 me . having to pretend youre someone youre not and never will be yk how it is . along with his upgrade in the 50s hes very clearly supposed [or on accident but . Very probably not on accident] to be an autism allegory .

the upgrade ive been vaguely reffering to is where he agreed to let walter robotics make him more human-like . on the timeline this upgrade happened before they started performing . his .whatever the robot word-equivalent of skin is was replaced to be completely silver [except his joints gotta like .be able to move] instead of his more robot-looking body . after a few in real life years he changed back to the pre-upgrade design . comparison below [upgrade on the left , current on the right]

Conclusion for this part the spine has autism [also supported by his hyperfixation/special interest in cowboys and "boring books" that i didnt mention in the text] and he has a mini character arc about learning to accept who he is , symbolized by him going back to his original design . also in their youmacon 2013 performance theres a bit where hatchworth and rabbit put their hands on his shoulders and he says "i told you not to touch me" and in one of their street performances he asks if the jon was being sarcastic during one of the improv bits

next is zer0 and dissociation . the main evidence for this is lyin awake and its music video .

for context , zer0 was locked in a basement for 90 years because he was only built for war and not music aswell like the other automatons [he was eventually updated to be able to play music too] .

this song is about his time in the basement . i physically cant picture a way this wouldnt be about dissociating due to spending so long in the basement . as a median system this whole song perfectly encapsulates how dissociating feels

finally , malfunction and rabbit [ft the spine] [this part lowkey does not make sense warning]

rabbit has a stutter shes very proud of , she doesnt try to hide it at all and thats def what this songs majorit-ily about but i think its also about neurodivergency a little bit too . The music video begins with rabbit just sitting in a chair and staring into space and theres a part with her sitting in a bathtub and im projecting 💥 . this also ties in to spine's mini character arc , he sings backing vocals in this song

Tldr all of them are autistic and have different combos of disorders . Those robots are neurodivergent . I think the only part that makes sense is the spine part oops :3

Does anyonw wanna hear my thuoghts about the spg neuodivergency subtext .i try to lean against the wall to look cool but i lean the wrong way and immediately die with a singular yelp
