Hi! I just wanted to Say that I loved your essay about cdream being autistic bc it's been a hc for me for a while and i apreciated seeing someone else who not only shares it but also makes analisys on it.
Like cdream strong sense of justice, how he struggles sometimes with empathy not bc he doesn't have it but bc he feels it differently, how he uses himself as the comparision point with others in sense that if he can with something he thinks others could too, how he can close himself to the world bc he doesn't know how to communicate what he wants in the begining+not knowing how to react when people don't listen to him not matter what he tries or Even if he plays their rules, how he seems to need to move all the time, etc. It's all stuff i identified within myself.
And i liked what You said bc yeah very probably Even if it wasn't intentional cdream was written in a way that can be pretty neurodirvergent coded like ctechno too and their creators being neurodirvergent themselfs very probably had influenced on that. And idk it makes me very happy to think about it :D
I’m so glad you liked it(them) [essay]. :) Honestly, it’s hard for me to even consider it a headcanon and not just canon because it just makes so much sense. And as you pointed out, the neurodivergence of the creators would make sense if their characters were too, given the close connection between both in the dsmp. After all, these creators are not professional actors and a lot of it is improv, so it makes sense that the characters would be neurodivergent if their creator is. I also think it’d be hard to make and play a character like they did with so much improv as neurotypical if they are neurodivergent (and vice versa). Because it’d take lots of extra care to go against your natural self which would be rather hard to do while also improving, so I’d say it kinda is canon in that sense. In other words, assuming Dream (and Techno?) are confirmed neurodivergent, (which I don’t know if that’s for sure) then it makes the most sense for their cs to also be neurodivergent, since it’s unlikely that amateur improvisers making characters linked to themselves and their brand would make characters that don’t align with how they think and see the world…. Anyways I’m glad I’m not alone in my madness. I’ve been thinking about writing some more about it since I did cut quite a bit of my essay(s) that was in my other drafts like more about how autistic people tend to struggle with change, which we see in Dream as he pushes back against L’manberg…

I have a headcanon that AEG Percy is autistic
Evidence for my headcanon below the cut
Routine and consistency:
In the episode Overnight Stop, we see that Percy has a morning routine.  Later in that same episode while on an overnight delivery with Thomas and Nia Percy is unable to sleep at the campsite, and Thomas and Nia remedy this is by making his space as close to what he's used to as possible.
He has a song in the episode Capture the Flag that he sings while delivering the mail that in later episodes we also see him singing/humming while delivering the mail, ex. Whistle Woes, New Mail Engine in Town, and A Very Percy Valentine's Day.
One of the shorts on Youtube features Percy trying to find a spot to nap and being unable to until Thomas takes him back to the sheds, AKA his normal place to sleep.
It's also worth pointing out that Percy seems to be the only one with any kind of consistent delivery, while the rest of his friends get assorted jobs that need to be done, Percy always delivers the mail either as his job for the day or in addition to it.
There are multiple instances of Percy having a hard time with social norms, reading others' emotions, and/or nonverbal cues, as well as seeing things from others' perspective.  Examples:
In Rules of the Game, Percy says goodbye and just leaves right in the middle of a conversation with Thomas.
In A Wide Delivery, he leaves Thomas to go talk to Nia literally while Sandy was explaining the delivery to them.
In Backwards Day, he asks Gordon(their father/mentor figure who usually assigns them their tasks for the day) to try Backwards Day, which Gordon does, reluctantly.  Gordon backs up and comments, "Oh what fun." in a very flat and unamused tone, which Percy doesn't pick up on and shouts in delight that Gordon likes Backwards Day.
In Mystery Boxcars, while the group is trying to solve the riddle in the boxcar in the mine(Thomas, Sandy, Carly, Kana, and Percy are all working on a scavenger hunt set up unbeknownst to them by Gordon), Percy starts wandering around thinking about the riddle, not paying attention to the rest of the group who are standing in one spot and figuring it out, and when Percy gets it, he jumps back into the middle of the group and tells them he's got the answer.
In The Tiger Train, he makes a very tactless remark to Thomas that was the exact opposite of helpful for Thomas at that moment("Well, you might not be the bravest engine on Sodor, but at least you got to see Yong Bao leap bravely to the rescue!") and Thomas' reaction doesn't tip him off that it was tactless.
In Thomas and Percy's Eggcellent Adventure, he seemingly doesn't realize Thomas is hurt by the reminders of the times he's messed up on deliveries and so Percy takes Thomas' "Name one time!" literally and helps Gordon brainstorm times Thomas has messed up on deliveries.
In Whistle Woes, he seems to have a hard time really grasping that Thomas doesn't like that his whistle sounds funny and is attracting birds.
The whole episode of An UnbeLEAFable Day is Percy being determined to change Thomas' mind about fall because he thinks it's great and wants Thomas to think so too.
In a Rusty Rescue, Percy offers for Thomas and him to get Diesel another oil can to replace Rusty(an oil can Diesel was very attached to that Thomas seemed to have lost at the time).  This is reminiscent of the time in Percy's Lucky Bell where Thomas gave Percy another bells because Thomas lost Percy's and Percy went "It's not the same thing!" yet he doesn't realize until Diesel rejects his offer that getting Diesel a different can won't help.
In Song of Sodor, when Sir Topham Hatt is clearly very excited about the new benches, Percy makes absolutely no attempt to hide the fact that he's pretty disappointed.
In Ashima's Amazing Arrival, Percy brings 6 skunks in place of a tiger to Ashima's welcome party, and while Thomas is kinda freaking out about it, Percy is completely unfazed and in fact continues to think it was an amazing idea even after Thomas seemed a little freaked out over the idea of just *one* skunk.
In Christmas Mountain, while Thomas, Bruno, and Percy are looking for a replacement Christmas tree, Percy suggests he could be the tree, since trees are green and so is he.  Bruno gives a pretty obvious face of disbelief and Percy goes "I know.  It's amazing."
In The Big Skunk Funk, Thomas tells Percy that maybe he should take over the rose delivery, (as Thomas doesn't think he can do it due to smelling really bad after being sprayed by a skunk) and Percy responds with “Really?  You mean it?  Wow.  What a huge honor!” which was. . . not the most considerate way he could have reacted.
In Not-So-Secret Mission, Percy has to be told by Thomas to be quieter despite it being apparent from Thomas' face something was wrong.
In Retrieve the Kraken, when Percy describes the situation to Sir Topham Hatt, he says “And, we thought it was going to eat the mail.”, even though that was something only he was worried about.  So not only does he do the whole “this thing is important to me so clearly it must have been important to everyone else” thing, but he also doesn’t end up realizing he said anything weird until he looks over at everyone else and sees them looking at him with “What?” faces.  Even then, he seems to not entirely get why they’re looking at him like that, as instead of clarifying only he was worried about the mail being eaten, he adds on “Oh!  And, also us,” making the statement “We were worried the sea monster would eat the mail and us.”
In Bruno’s Map Mishap, Percy comes up to Thomas and Bruno, who both are clearly upset about something, and he doesn’t notice this even after saying hello and getting unenthusiastic “hey”s from both of them.  He then makes a joke about their response, to which they both sigh, clearly not amused by the joke, which is what tips Percy off that something’s wrong.
In Seeking A Safer Sodor, when Emily explains that the safety measures are a bit overboard and they need to be taken down, Percy can’t understand why and gets upset because he thinks they aren’t overboard and they are needed.
In A Cranky Goodbye, Percy completely doesn’t understand why Cranky is upset and not happy for Bulstrode since, as he puts it, “Everybody likes a fresh coat of paint!” and Thomas explains it to him by relating the situation to their friendship.
In the Great Bubbly Build, Percy seems to not realize that Sandy was referring to Tess when she was being passive aggressive about the crates, and also seems to not even realize she was being passive aggressive in the first place.
In The Accidental Bad Guy, Percy genuinely doesn’t understand what he did wrong to make Kana and Diesel mad at him because he thought they were just playing a game and that his tactics were fair game.  In his own words, “Why are Kana and Diesel so upset with me for being good at playing the bad guy?!”
In the Youtube short Surprise!, Percy is completely oblivious to Diesel's growing frustrations about not being able to be Percy at the game.
Stimming:
Percy has a lucky bell and during Race for the Sodor Cup he says, "When I get scared, I ring my lucky bell and it calms me right down.  *ring his lucky bell a few times*  And then, I can do almost anything."  His lucky bell ringing seems to be a stim for him.
He seemed to also be stimming in the episode A Light Delivery(he kept saying “bling bling” while the engines were acting out the festival of lights in the shed)
In The Biggest Adventure Club he starts doing the engine equivalent of running in place when he gets anxious from hearing Carly excitedly go on about all the things she hopes are in the mine.
In Overnight Stop he starts stimming by pacing while he's freaking out about how he just can't sleep at the campsite because everything is just "too different."
In the Mystery of Lookout Mountain he once again starts stimming by pacing when his Biggest Adventure Machine goes missing; you can see it in the background as Thomas is coupling up to Bruno.
In The Great Bubbly Build while Nia is taking her turn in the train wash, when Percy has reached his limit and says anxiously that he can’t wait anymore and he has to get the rust off, he does a little running in place thing.
Special Interests:
He ABSOLUTELY has a special interest in the mail
He also collects stamps
He also seems to have a special interest in bells, with Thomas even remarking in the episode More Cowbell "I should've known better than to give Percy a *bell*."
There's a part in Bruno's Map Mishap where Bruno, who has a special interest in mapping out places and routes, tells Thomas "I don't need a map to know where I am.  I need it because it made me feel good."  Thomas responds by saying, "I get it.  Percy's like that with his lucky bell."
In the episode A New View for Thomas, Percy says that he told everyone about how Thomas and him helped Harold and that they might get to see him flying in Vicarstown after he was fixed.  This implies he sought out his friends specifically to tell them about these things.  Almost as if he was hyperfixating or something.
As seen in the episode Percy’s Duck Dilemma, Percy becomes so focused and busy with the ducks at the Duck Pond that he loses track of what time of year it is.
Many autistic people have a strong attention to detail, and Percy seems to as well.  In one of the Youtube Train School shorts, he says he has an eye for detail.  In New Mail Engine in Town, when he sees how Nia has left the mail while she was delivering it when he couldn't, he remarks that her delivery is very fast, but she could be neater about it, and proceeds to put the mail in a nice neat pile.  In Brand New Track, Percy remarks to Thomas, who is complaining about how there never is anything new to see on the route to Cronk, “Yeah, but on the other hand, that crooked tree over by Wellsworth is leaning over more.  So that’s new.” And in The Smells of Sodor, Percy notices before Thomas all three times whether Thomas’ nose is twitching or not from the car they were chasing.
Taking things literally:
In Hide and Surprise, Percy asks if Diesel’s sure he wants to go at the game again, to which Diesel replies with “Does a chimney head blow steam?”  Percy takes the question literally and says, “I do”.
From Good As New: Thomas - “If Whiff can make an old tanker car into a vacuum, why can’t we do that with Boxy?”  Percy - “Turn him into a vacuum?”
In The Mystery of Lookout Mountain, Percy says that Diesel said funny things have been happening around the mine, and Thomas tries to make a joke.  However, Percy doesn’t realize it was a joke.  
Later in that same special, when discussing what’s going on with the “disappearing” boxcars, Thomas says that there must be a better explanation, to which Percy replies “Oh good.  What is it?”.
In Seeking a Safer Sodor, James asks the rhetorical question “Is that a cow?!” as an “are you kidding me” statement.  Percy doesn’t realize it’s rhetorical and answers James’ question with an “Um, obviously!”.
In Nia’s Green Surprise, Percy hears that the flower he delivered is called a Spider Lily and thinks this means he was literally carrying spiders.
Fine motor skills don't really seem to be Percy's strong suit.  For example:
In Race for the Sodor Cup, when Kana zooms across the crossing, the wind from her passing causes Percy to lose his balance and fall on his side.  Later when Thomas, Kana, Nia, Kenji, and him are scoping out the track, at the beach he can’t stop in time and slips into the water.
In Something to Remember, he can’t stop in time and bumps into Carly, causing a chain event that causes the crystal to fall into the water.
In New Mail Engine in Town, he causes a huge mess while trying to simply help move some cars.
Later in that same episode he falls on his side after dropping down from Cranky's hook.
In Not-So-Secret Mission, Percy knocks over a pile of cans while laughing.
He also seems to have sensory issues, with hearing and touch seemingly being the senses that are heightened for him.
He really vibes with certain sounds such as his Biggest Adventure Machine, the sounds at the docks, the rattle of puzzle pieces, and his lucky bell.  In Overnight Stop one of the big things that stressed him out was all the weird noises.  In Roller Coasting, every time the coaster would get close to him and therefore louder he would get noticeably more uncomfortable and scared(I'm gonna come back to this one).  In A Rusty Rescue, he is VERY bothered by Thomas’s squeaky wheel, and keeps letting out squeaks of discomfort when the wheel squeaks.  While he tells Thomas they probably shouldn’t go into Diesel's space without his permission, Thomas’s squeaky wheel bugs him so much that he kinda doubles back on it and suggests getting the oil can without going into Diesel’s stall.  Literally the entire rest of A Rusty Rescue happens because Percy hated the squeaky wheel that much.
He likes "cozy" things, as seen in Roller Coasting and An UnbeLEAFable Day.  While we've seen him many times get really close to Thomas when he's happy or excited(for example License to Delivery, The Real Number 1, and Whistle Woes), in Letting Off Steam he tells Thomas to "stop crowding him" when he was feeling frustrated/annoyed.  Percy likes playing in mud(we found this out from Thomas in the episode Percy Disappears), which Thomas remarked in the episode Rules of the Game that it felt good on his gears.  And from Whiteout!, there's this line: "Sights, smells, and sounds aside, I know it's McCole's because their hay always feels the softest."
In Goodbye Ghost Scaring Machine, Percy remarks that he loves splashing in the puddles, which would engage both hearing and touch.
In Percy's Lucky Bell, Percy tells Thomas Thomas his bell “likes having a nightlight when it goes to sleep”.  Considering this is something Percy likes, it’s pretty safe to assume when he says the bell doesn’t like loud noises, that’s him projecting onto his bell as well.
In Roller Coasting, Percy's fear of the roller coasters seems to me like it stems from overstimulation, based on the way Percy describes it.(Kana - "Roller coasters are the best :)". Percy - "Yeah, if you like *screaming*!)(Thomas - "But, I thought you liked roller coasters Percy."  Percy - "I do!  From far away.  Up close they're so fast, and so screamy, and so upsidedown-y, so, so-")  Also, Percy ends up really liking the thrill of a roller coaster. . . when they break it into smaller parts and try each part piece by piece, as well as it being considerably less loud due to less people and events in the area.
Also in that same episode, we learn Percy's scared of vacuum cleaners, which seems like kind of a weird thing for an engine to be scared of. . . until you remember vacuum cleaners are pretty darn loud.
In The Can-Do Submarine Crew, Percy gets completely overwhelmed by all the whistle signals Thomas is trying to tell him.
In Blackout!, Percy says this in regards to thunderstorms - "Sorry.  Just not a big fan of scary flashes, and loud bangs!"  Sounds like a sensory issue to me.
In The Big Skunk Funk, when Percy’s preparing to head out with the roses, he realizes he has sand in his gears, and says very specifically “Oh I do *not* like how that feels.”  Despite his excitement to bring the roses to the event, he says he can’t make it to Vicarstown with the sand in his gears.  While Thomas goes to try and find someone who can take it at the station, Percy immediately goes to wait for Sandy’s train wash.  He had the ability to go and do something else as the wash wasn’t ready yet, but seemingly he would rather go there and wait than deal with the feeling of the sand.
In The Great Bubbly Build, when Percy gets splashed in sea water, he complains to Cranky that he got him “all saltwater-y!”  And by the way, this was BEFORE Salty came and told him that the saltwater would make him rust.  Seems Percy really doesn’t like grainy textures.
Later in that same special, after Percy goes through Sandy’s train wash and finds himself covered in rubber ducks, at first he’s a bit weirded out but ultimately ok with all the ducks on him, until one falls, squeaks loudly, and startles him, causing more ducks to fall and squeak loudly, and THAT’S when he starts freaking out, giving the impression that it was the sounds that were freaking him out.
In What’s the Buzz?, Percy is the only engine besides Thomas(who’s funnel the bees are currently residing in so it makes sense he’s awakened) who’s woken up by the bee’s buzzing.
In Bruno’s Blustery Day, when Percy is anxious while going through the Dark Woods, it once again seems to be all the sounds that are freaking him out, and when Bruno gives him their headphones, Percy pretty quickly relaxes.
Percy’s anxiety is also worth pointing out, as research has shown that autistic people seem to be more prone to experiencing anxiety.  The most common form, according to the Autism Research Institute, is specific phobias, which lines up well with Percy’s many different specific fears, such as the dark, heights, creepy crawlies, and thunderstorms.
(Sorry if this point is a bit confusing, I always have trouble wording this one)There's a scene in Pop a Wheelie where Percy starts using nonverbal communication to communicate with Thomas and Diesel that someone had derailed and needed help.  Now this could have just been because he was out of breath, but 1. we've seen him talk while out of breath before, and 2. it literally takes two words to say “someone derailed”, and what he was doing definitely also would take, like, the same amount if not more of energy than to say, “someone derailed”, and he was making incoherent sounds, which kinda gives off the impression he resorted to it because he felt could get his point across better and/or faster with nonverbal communication, likely because he couldn't find the words at the time.  The fact that once he starts using words he still points in the direction of the station while saying the name supports that this was in fact what happened, because Thomas and Diesel know where the station is he didn’t have to point.  Like basically even though he was using verbal language at that point he was also still using gestural engagement.
I’d also like to point out that the fact that Diesel and Thomas are pretty easily able to understand the method of how Percy’s trying to tell them something and the fact that neither of them are surprised by Percy using this method to communicate indicates to me that this is not the first time this has happened.
In New Mail Engine in Town, fixed mindsets and black and white thinking are things Percy was definitely struggling with, in essence his train of thought was: I’ll never be as fast at the mail as Nia, so obviously no one is going to want me to do the mail, and I should just give up and let Nia do it and find something else to do(“But who’d want me to deliver the mail when Nia’s so much faster and more efficient?”).  In addition, I feel like it's very likely he didn't get that Sir Topham Hatt was being generous with his description of Nia's mail run, and that's why he becomes really focussed on the fact that Nia delivers the mail really fast because Sir Topham Hatt kept mentioning that.(Sir Topham Hatt - “Thanks for your help with the mail!  You um. . . you delivered the mail very quickly.”  “Percy is lucky to have such an. . . efficient replacement.”  “Well then Percy, you rest.  The mail will be in very rushed I mean good hands I mean wheels I mean um I mean good day.”)
Percy also seems to be struggling with fixed mindsets in Seeking a Safer Sodor, because even when Thomas mentions the mail hasn’t been delivered, Percy basically just goes 'It can’t be helped, it’s too dangerous out there, I’m not going anywhere', not even asking if Thomas could take the mail for him or something, just 'I can’t deliver the mail because it’s too dangerous, I guess it’s just gonna sit there.'
In The Great Bubbly Build, when Sandy comes looking for Carly, Percy tells her that Carly’s “certainly not in one of these crates here” in a very suspicious tone, which makes Sandy suspicious, but as it turns out, Percy wasn’t trying to hide or imply that she was in a crate, and instead was being genuine.  Meaning he accidentally used a tone that implied the opposite of what he was trying to convey.
He clearly has a pull towards and a strong connection with animals.  Examples include butterflies(Tunnel Trouble, Percy in the Middle), ducks(Percy Disappears, Duck Duck Woosh, Percy’s Duck Dilemma, The Accidental Bad Guy), skunks(Ashima’s Amazing Arrival), cows(Calliope Crack-Up, Letting Off Steam, and Bells are Ringing), sheep(Calliope Crack-Up, Bad Luck Boxcar), and fish(Fast Friends).
Lastly, Percy is bad at lying.  A Light Delivery, Nia’s Surprising Surprise, Not-So-Secret Mission, and Percy’s Little Problem all show that when put into a position where he has to keep a secret, or in the case of the first one actually outright lie, he tends to act very unnatural and a bit panicked.  And in the case of Percy’s Little Problem, after James goes by, Percy tries to change his original lie, but accidentally says the truth before correcting it to a lie.  Usually this kind of thing can be explained by characters in children's media being bad at lying to let the audience know they’re lying, but in this case none of the other kids are as obvious about it as Percy is.
Thomas even says that there’s “no one more honest than (Percy)” in the episode Percy in the Middle.

i have this soft early seasons hc that the moment smartphones became A Thing and you could finally take instant HD pictures of anything, sam started taking pictures of everything. a cute dog he saw on the street? snap. an interesting brick layout? snap. a squirrel eating a piece of bread in some park? snap. an ancient, pretty much decaying book in a library? snap.
snap. snap. snap.
and then when he'd get home (by that i mean, dean, at whatever motel room they were crashing in at the time), maybe to find dean making something to eat or cleaning his guns, & he'd go up to him all excited and show him every picture he took, give him small explanations, talk about how amazing it is that the pictures look so smooth and colorful and "just like the real thing, dean!" — and dean would look at all of them, and listen to sammy's explanations (even if he sometimes went on tangents dean couldn't understand), and he'd make comments, definitely tease sam a lil about his nerdyness. it didn't matter how long it took, because seeing his baby brother so happy about something so small just- made his heart hurt, filled him with affection. made dean realize how much he missed it, missed sam going on rants about science, about books, about whatever nerdy sci-fi thing he was into at the time. missed that glint in sam's eyes, the happiness that made him look so alive (missed when life was simpler).
sam smiles as he shows dean a picture of a blossoming flower and all dean can think about is how much he loves this kid.

Guys what does non sharing self shipper mean bc surely that doesn’t mean you’re 100% gatekeeping the chara if you’re consuming content others made ?? Like ;; bc if you gatekeeping said character, that means you gotta acknowledge the fact others thought of that chara in those situations yk ?
Like idk what I am, but I’m very very very particular abt my characterisation of kaveh. The only Kaveh I like is canon kaveh. And canon kaveh is the same kaveh in my head even tho obviously I extend his character a fair bunch in my mind. Obvi,, cause nobody gets him like I do fellas 😞 and I say this with so much faith cause istg nobody does 😓 it kinda makes me a tad annoyed if I do see someone claiming that he’s their fave BUT NOT FOR THE REASON YOU THINK OK ! it’s bc ppl ALWAYS mischaracterise him.
it’s SO annoying I swear … like UGH I just had to have the character I like sm be a fan favourite who gets his image dragged to smithereens to the point he’s irrecognisable …
like do NAWT play with me — Kaveh ain’t no twink 😭 he’s also not a damsel in distress … HE ALSO ISNT PAYING RENT BY DOING THE NASTY WITH ALHAITHAM FUCK YOU ALL 😭 and he doesn’t do shit with alhaitham argue with the wall and fuck you again for good measure.
And I swear if I hear someone say he’s dumb … I’m in your walls. I’m in your ceilings. And I’m gonna hocus pocus you to last century where the existence of Kaveh never was. So stfu before I do black magic on your sorry ass 😭
#dora daily#jokiiiingggg :3#but like the gist is the same#I’m so hesitant to accept anyone who likes kaveh cause most of yall are dumb abt your hcs with him#I acknowledge they’re headcanons and not canon but some of yall make them out to be canon#I’m probably autistic so … or maybe not ! but my point is I don’t like it AT ALL. when ppl be like that#i feel so unreasonable but the issue im complaining abt is when ppl call non canon things canon#IT PISSES ME AWFFFF 🤯#this is why I made such a point to say nobody gets him like I do#bc MOST ppl mischaracterise him#if you don’t ID BE SO HAPPY TO CHAT LIKE ILY PLS LETS TALK KAVEH !!#Just don’t call him a twink :( or don’t mention ANYTHING to do with alhaitham#I love them both ofc but plsssss let’s separate the two GOSH they aren’t conjoined twins#they still have identities likes and interests apart from each other#idc if they’re fictional bc the same concept applies to irl stuff too and ppl need to start separating ppl#from certain friendships etc#like say me and fatema everyoneeeee used to make us out to be conjoined at the hip#but fatema was abusive to me and I couldn’t leave so#fuck everyone who counted me as ‘Fatemas friend’#SIMILARLY when Eris in her head counted me as mini Hal LIKE HAL ILY AND YOU KNOW THAT#and honestly it’s an honour to be compared to you#but I’m still Noor ! even tho we are similar I’m still a bit different#it’s just Eris made me seem like I’m some cheap copy which made me sad I’d hope to think nobody is a copy of the other except we are all#equally unique and interesting (hopefully (maybe))

Spencer Reid Headcanons
some of these headcanons are mine and some of them are inspired from some Reddit posts I've seen. I hope you guys like it ^^ also the nsfw hcs are under the cut!
So, we know Reid is an awkward person
He doesn't like loud noises
He's not into PDA but will hold your hand under the table during meetings or stand closer to you
He likes to organize your desk, help you with paperwork (as a love language)
He would show you how to do his magic tricks
Reid would probably wear a ring on his finger to show he isn't single
Shared murmured confessions in the breakroom when no one is around in the office yet
Catches himself staring at you while you're busy doing something like cooking or working on your laptop
LOVES to talk to you about the books he reads
Reid definitely smells like books and coffee and a hint of ink
He masks a lot (the autistic mentions)
Deep night conversations
Bookstore and cafe dates
He teaches you how to play chess
Reid would remember the products you use daily (like shampoo, lotion, makeup, etc.), and keep some in stock at his place in case you stay over
Reads to you when you can't sleep
Wasn't sure about announcing your relationship to the team at first, but he realized it was better than keeping it secret (He was teased by Morgan for a week)
He had his doubts about getting into a relationship with you at first because he was anxious about doing something wrong
A gentle lover
Morning kisses, makes you coffee in the morning, plays with your hair while cuddling
Soft kisses on the shoulders, gentle caresses on the sides that leave you craving for more
Smiles more when you're around
Reid loves to pamper you in private
Likes it when you bother him for his attention
He always insists on paying when you're out on dates
Uses your surname or first name at the office or in public, but uses pet names immediately when both of you are alone
Spencer would occasionally cook you dinner (translation: buys you your favourite take-out and puts on a Star Wars movie marathon)
Bro has a hand-care routine.. his hands are so goddamn pretty
NSFW AHEAD!!! MDNI!!
Gentle during sex
Soft dom/Service top
Gives you a lot of praise
"You're taking me so well, baby- Mm, look at you... squeezing me so tightly- ngh, it feels so good."
Whines and grunts when close
Would love to try new things, but only if you want to
"Is this okay, darling? I'm not hurting you am I?"
When he's exhausted, he lets you ride him
Tries to be mean during sex with you, but fails and caves immediately when he hears you cry from how tired you are
Though he would spend a lot of time on foreplay and overstimulate you with his skilled fingers and tongue, tasting and savouring the sweetness of your leaky cunt
Isn't the needy type, he's happy with what he has with you - unless you go down on him and immediately melts
Whimpers a lot when you deepthroat him and loves it when you look up at him while you suck his cock
Doesn't admit it but loves it when you take charge and get on top of him
Does amazing aftercare
Bathes you, makes you breakfast in bed, cuddles and apologises when he gets too rough
That's all I have on my list for now, so I hope you enjoyed reading! Reblogs and likes would be appreciated ^^

More Viktor Drabbels! (He's all I think about someone PLEASE give me ideas for proper stories) I am losing my MIND I can't do this anymoreeeee
Tumblr media
He doesn't get the whole 'cats or dogs' debate because he'd be happy getting either one (I can def see him have a dog, though, probably a sort of service dog that helps him be reminded of breaks and such, if he had a cat he'd have it on his lap at all times when working)
He probably doesn't have a favourite colour either. When asked, he just says that he likes colours portrayed in nature, specifically close to water.
Viktor is the type of guy to have a strict rule of no pet names in the lab because he gets too distracted whenever you call him sweetheart or love - he's just not used to it so his mind immediately spirals
Same goes for pda, I don't think he'd like public affection anyway, since he keeps to himself mostly, but he also has a strong rule against it in the lab because he will absolutely melt into a puddle if you do as little as brush your hand over his shoulder lovingly. He is the definition of touch starved.
Speaking of touch starved, no one can convince me that he wouldn't love cuddling. He isn't big on affectionate words, but he definitely shows his love through cuddles or little trinkets he finds or makes for you. He probably finds a random part in the lab and just thinks "oh yeah they'll love this" and brings it to you like a crow
Honestly, he's a little autistic (mecore), so I can definitely see him express love through rants as well. Just him going on for hours about his latest project/invention/discovery, and he will get cranky if you don't listen. It doesn't even matter if you listen attentively. Just do something while he rants, and he'll be happy (let my boy yap)
100% the kinda guy to not get jokes. His humour is so dry that he doesn't get actual jokes, honestly. Especially if they're the type of "would you still love me if I was a worm" kinda joking. He'd fo at it scientifically and give actual standpoints on the question and then you don't have the heart to tell him you were joking.
Will forget to eat, so it's definitely beneficial if you know how to make food (plus points if you learn specifically for him, he'd appreciate it to the moon and back) - also you will have to defend that food from Jayce, who will 100% try to swoop in and steal some.
(Modern AU) Has a whole ass PC set up. I'm talking 3/4 screens and the best working shit you've ever seen. He uses all screens too (which is crazy to me, I have two screens and barely use both at the same time)
(More a headcanon) personally would say he's somewhat asexual and more attracted to men, though he doesn't really care, he barely believes that anyone would like him out of all people anyway

Skully headcanons (both general and relationship stuff)
The parts with the reader are gender neutral, also there is a point that could be considered nsfw I think but it's really just general stuff so nothing much really.
-English isn't my first language so sorry if there are errors and other stuff that simply ain't right and I hope you enjoy :)
Tumblr media
+So first of all we know that he isn't from the world that hosts Halloween town, meaning he doesn't dress like that... probably. Personality wise I'd say that he only has energy when he is 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 excited about something, usually a topic that he really likes, but other than that he'd probably be kind of laid back. Like the Kaworu Nagisa type of laid back, he talks and stuff, nods and smiles but doesn't really express emotions in a really... 𝘴𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘺 (this phrase makes sense in my head please bare with me).
+Now I fully believe that he probably dresses in two ways, no in between. We can have the fancy version of him, probably on those days where he feels motivated enough to wear something nice, and those are the only times where he wears some type of goth outfit, then we have the 𝘶𝘴𝘶𝘢𝘭 version of him, the one where he's probably wearing a random cardigan with the most hideous Halloween design anyone's ever seen in their entire live. You know those 90s cardigans, the hand knitted ones with the different patterns randomly sprinkled on the base, yeah, those beauties.
+Now let's be sincere, he's probably autistic. He seems to not really understand "standard" social cues, like when he kisses everyone's hand and they are basically disgusted, also when in Halloween town he hugs grim and Epel(?) just because of how excited he is and they are 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 dying inside but he doesn't even seem to notice lol. Now the most noticeable part is also the one where he only talks about Jack and the related festivity, it literally feels like a special interest, the kind that sticks with you for all your life and you can't really get out of your sistem. Also we know that no one really likes him or talks to him in his real world, which is unfortunately the reality of many neurodivergent people, often considered weird or annoying by others. I mean all the neurodivergent people I've met always had similar experiences, me included so yeah, I mean he also basically states that so.
+With this said I imagine him to be the type of person that tries to keep his interests to himself but fails horribly every time someone gets close enough and he thinks he can finally open himself up. Now we all know how that would end (not in a nice way) , meaning that he probably hides himself in the realities from different books and movies he likes. I firmly believe that the reason he was so happy to finally be in Halloween town was because he imagined so many times to live there without the trouble of other negative people that he felt as if he actually belonged somewhere for once.
+Now since this is getting depressing I'd say that if he had a partner he would probably need someone that either shares the same type of interests as him or simply has enough time to listen to him rant about his hyperfixations. I'd say that the first one would probably still be better because he'd feel as if someone finally understands him and gets why he likes certain things so much.
+Probably collects weird and creepy things, could be old stuff he found in a thrift shop or taxidermies he made himself or bought from some shop on Etsy lol. I see him as the type of guy to yes, love Halloween, but only a certain types of decorations, I mean the old/vintage type would be perfect but if you ever try to get him close to a basic plastic pumpkin (like the basket kind for trick or treat) he would probably start talking in an annoyed and frustrated way about how society ruined the original version of the holiday and stuff like that.
+Type of guy to listen to those long ass YouTube videos with the low quality image as thumbnail that last for more than two hours but include old songs that no one ever listened to, probably including the ones that 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘦𝘥 those songs.
+If he actually had a partner he would probably be clingy af, not in an annoying way but like a cat that's always around you way. I don't think that in public he would display that much affection, probably afraid of other people seeing him and judging once again, but when in private he would probably be constantly near you or touching you somehow, be it hugging you when watching a scary movie on the couch or if he's helping cooking something and suddenly you feel him speak in you ear, scaring the shit out of you because he somehow doesn't make any noise when walking.
+Has the worst eye bags you've ever seen in your life, the type that even if you put a red base and then the green and concealer or whatever they 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 fade away. They would probably only make him look good considering that be surely (to me at least so sshhh) wears at least a little eyeliner or eyeshadow. I dont think he was dry lips, even if the og image gives that impression I have a feeling that it's like those cracked type of lipsticks that you put on in layers and stuff.
+One again, if you share interests he would probably sing various tunes with you, be it the songs form the nightmare before Christmas or things like confrontation form the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde musical. I can see him dramatically move around his room while singing a certain part and then looking at you like you hung the starts in the sky when you start singing the next part, even if you suck it doesn't matter really.
+I don't think that he's asexual but at the same time I don't think he'd be really interest in sex stuff anyway, like maybe sometime but more like vanilla things, he doesn't even look like he has the energy to keep up any fancy type of performance let's be fr. Would kiss you and whatever, sometimes make out if you have the time and actually feel like doing something like that, but generally I don't think that he would care much about there things.
+Probably has a pet, not sure which one but the possibilities are: a cat, more cats, rats (named Jack and Sally obvs) or some type of ferret. Not really a dog type of person even if he likes Zero. He probably doesn't have the energy to keep up with an animal like that even if he wants to.

one thought everyday and its just the amazing world of gumball especially these three freaks (doodles + some headcanons below :3)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
mr small -
my interpretation of small becoming more mellowed out in the future seasons as opposed to season 1 is him managing his anger in a more healthier way (meditation, etc) (plus i think all those herbal infusions are incredibly effective on the nerves) . that being said i think he still has underlying anger issues and lashes out if prompted too much . another reason hes nicer and more of a pushover in the later seasons is because i like to think hes guilty of his plethora of outbursts earlier on, especially towards students (unwarranted shouting which as a school counsellor he should know is pretty harmful on younger kids) . the fact that he tries to offer his help when its absolutely not needed so many times later on in the show further makes me like to think he’s making up for it all
hes also so autistic to me hes on the spectrum you cant tell me otherwise and i think hes pretty awkward and considered strange by the whole town (which is saying a lot for elmore standards) . still super friendly and approachable but he also cant take hints and he definitely stims (and has special interests, alternative medicine are you kidding)
his music taste i love to think is all over the place … i get the general consensus is he listens to mystic chants and sitar music but he definitely listens to more, ranging from pop to indie to rock to metal (this may or may not have become an idea when i was listening to ‘darts by soad and associated it with him,) . also what with his stupid little self funded album that is such a jarring listen ‘cause of all the ridiculous genre changes
i think he crochets/macrames as a hobby along with other diy stuff (most of the decorative items in his home crafted by him) making him, surprisingly considering how incompetent he is sometimes, super crafty/handy .
larry -
larry is a great person: incredibly intelligent, he’s very knowledgable on a plethora of subjects and he has a big heart, holding little to no virtriol against the people of elmore (except the wattersons but that is SO warranted) . thus i like to imagine he did great in school, moved on to do so wonderfully in uni whilst juggling jobs and his studies but after graduation was left stuck (alike so many people nowadays) . neither small or larry came from well off families but i think for larry he didn’t have much of a support system anyway so currently he overworks and works and works just to catch up on the student debt whilst simultaneously paying his taxes (i still think about that episode all the time fuck the police . big pink son of a bitch), loans and not to mention the bare minimum to keep himself alive
he’s a very sweet and kind person but anyone under the immense stress that he’s under would be irritable and temperate (he deserves to be more angry imo) and i whilst he has so many jobs he always aims to excel at all of them, having an incredibly particular way that tasks must be done and having them organised . because of this, he can be a lot more temperate when interacting with coworkers, especially those who don’t do their job as well, having to take matters into his own hands . as he and karen (his girlfriend throughout the series) share some jobs it puts a strain on their relationship (which was built off of the mutual ‘having several jobs’) and they break up .
even so, though larry consistently tries to propose to her in the show, in “the laziest” he doesn’t seem to be happy nor comfortable at all with the prospects of marrying her . in fact, even when he’s achieved the ‘american dream’ (properties like a house and car and a family (his girlfriend soon to be wife)) he’s unhappy . personally i don’t think he knows what he wants to do with himself ; he works all day and night and has little to no time for himself to even think in peace that the only purpose he knows is work .
i like to think he used to be an artist; self taught, it was a hobby and an enjoyment but his studies and his work took over so his one form of self expression was squeezed out of his life .. (i like making their lives as bleak as possible soz ! 🙏) he still admires the arts and i think that’s another reason he likes steve so much; his handcrafts and mini projects .
steve and larry are two opposites that are similar in ways .. but i love their dynamic so much . my interpretation of them is that steve will help larry balance out his life slightly better to leave room for himself instead of working 24/7 . steve has his head in the clouds and larry grounds him, and larry is so stuck in his ways with work that steve pulls him out of it slightly, lifting him up a little higher (AUGHHHGHH I HATE THEM I HATE THEM
as for their relationship with rob, im very much a stevelmeyer adoption truther !! both larry and steve coming from dysfunctional families, they aim to help rob and take care of him to the best of their abilities . further, larry taking on taking care of rob gives him direction in his life again . 😁😁😁😁😁😁
this isnt gonna be the last post headcanon/idea wise i still think of them 24/7 but heres jus SOME things .. (im such a yapper sprry not sorry !) :3c

could you please do brother headcanons for an MC who is autistic and can't handle many foods? (Fish, cauliflower, celery, certain spice/seasonings) like an MC who can't shut their brain up and feels sick even sitting near/smelling those foods? I know this is a huge ask, and if you need me to clarify i can! ^^'
of course! no worries at all
enjoy <3
Autistic Mc who can't handle many foods
Lucifer
he makes sure a list of the items you can't handle is clear
he actually puts the list on the fridge
if he can help it, he'll make sure you never need to be near those foods
he'll also let diavolo and barbatos know, who will also lend a helping hand
Mammon
he doesn't quite get it at first, but he wants to
so, he asks lots of questions if you don't mind
he makes sure he has a firm grasp of your preferences even if you've known each others for years at that point
every time he sends you a text asking if you like a certain food, you know the surprise you're about to get
Levi
he can and will eat the same thing every day
so, he gets it, in the levi way
if the two of you share the same safe foods, he's more than happy to share!
he'd love to have a cute stash with you <3
Satan
without you telling him, he somehow just knows your favs
when the two of you have study sessions together, a favorite snack of yours is out on the table
often times, he doesn't even touch it
he just wants to see you smile :)
Asmo
will ban anything you can't stand from any events he has pull in
he wants you to enjoy yourself too!
he is a firm believer in accommodations, and usually he just has the caterers treat foods you can't handle as allergy adjacent
like i said before, you deserve to have fun too and he's going to make sure you get that
Beel
he's part of the problem and he feels really bad about it
whenever he has a craving for one of your food aversions
he makes sure to go out to eat to get it, and doesn't bring home leftovers (that is if he didn't eat it all)
will bring you back one of your safe foods as an apology of sorts
Belphie
when you go out to eat
he'll be the one to stick up for you if your order is wrong and you can't eat it
very "they asked for no pickles" core
will give kisses afterwards <3

Can you make some headcanons with Brother!JJ and his Little!Sister!Reader who is autistic? Because I can totally imagine JJ, in his own way, try to make her life better and be a good brother to her. And also because it would be kind of funny to see Jj being so... Well, himself with everyone but being a big softie with his baby sister. And of course being so protective with her.
P.s: the reader can be 14 or 15.
P.s²: pls don't be bothered but I might ask for some things related to that in the future🙌😔 It's kind of difficult to find authors who write autistic readers, so I think your blog might have been a find
brother!jj x autistic!little sister!reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A/n: omg yes!! I love this sm. writing autistic readers literally makes me feel so seen, i love it so much. im not bothered at all lol!
Tumblr media
𝜗❀᧓ you’re correct, anon! Ever since he could remember, all he wanted was to make your life better than it was.
𝜗❀᧓ when you were diagnosed, Luke tended to be a bit of an asshole, but Jj, always your savior, was there for you. He had always tried his best and hardest to protect you from him.
𝜗❀᧓ he’s not very good with learning new things, but for you, he tries all the time. He learned about things like special interests, and how to deal with meltdowns, etc.
𝜗❀᧓ he also doesn’t mind making/buying your safety foods at all, as long as you’re happy, he keeps doing it.
𝜗❀᧓ it is kind of funny, one minute JJ can be screaming at a group of kooks or something, and the next, he’ll be worriedly glancing at you, watching over you like a hawk would her babies.
𝜗❀᧓ he tries as hard as he can to not put you in danger. When he goes on hunts, he’ll tell you to stay at the Chateau or to stay with a friend. He rarely takes you with him, even if he wants to.
𝜗❀᧓ but, if there was a situation that you all ended up in, and there’s been plenty of those, his first job is always to get you out of there.
𝜗❀᧓ even if it’s something small, like a small gathering being too much for you, getting overstimulated quickly and your eyes watering, but trying your best to suck it up for JJ. He knows you like the back of his hand, though, and quickly realizes there’s something wrong.
𝜗❀᧓ he’s also the most observant in those situations, and whenever you could potentially be in danger, he has an arm in front of you, his body blocking yours.
𝜗❀᧓ he has and will beat people up for you.
𝜗❀᧓ you can talk shit about him, but the second someone even looks wrong at you, he’s on them quickly.
𝜗❀᧓ the pogues also adore you (: jj loves talking about you and he will literally do whatever he has to do to protect you.

I seriously love the news of Cyrus being originally conceived as an autistic character and its that autism that informs his flawed worldview. It humanizes an otherwise inhuman and underdevloped character. It was something i already headcanoned before but having it confirmed makes me so happy because it kind of highlights the paradox of alexythmia. It can be so hard for autistic people to identify their feelings and emotions but it doesnt mean that they dont feel them. He has a Crobat, which is a friendship evolution. Theres no way he would have gotten his Golbat to evolve if he wasnt building a meaningful connection to it. I like to think that he is bonded to his pokemon but doesnt have the emotional knowledge to identify the feelings that are taking place when he spends time with them. The very thing he claims to hate so much and wants destroyed exists within him because he is only human and trying to stamp it out is impossible. Even the most logical human alive is still only a human with earthly attachments no matter how much they try to run from them

OK OK OK OK OK people talk about sniper, or pyro, or medic being autistic right?
B u t
What if I told you all of them are?
Every single one.
Engineer? He's autistic. Soldier? Autistic. Frickin Spy?? Omgsh he's so autistic
So because my brain won't stop itching about this I'm going to write up a collection of all the evidence I have for why the TF2 mercenaries possess within their beings the big tism. By the time this is over y'all are going to be very sick of the word autism.
But IDC
So without further ado, let's go through each of these silly mercs one at a time:
Scout:
Alright, first up we got Scout. Scout I would consider to be AuDHD for multiple reasons
The ADHD is more obvious but like dude trust me he's autistic too
He's hyperactive, forgetful, gets distracted easily, kind of the basic stereotypical ADHD stuff you would notice immediately. He stims, he fidgets, he struggles in social situations, he's seen as over the top and a bit annoying, he talks a lot
Now a lot of these traits are things that are common for both autistics and adhders. But I wanna point out some things I notice about him that are autism specific
He has a special interest: It's Tom Jones. Honestly he probably has a special interest about baseball too
But I mean c'mon he's literally has a Tom Jones tattoo
You could argue this is just a hyperfixation but I bet it's been going on for a while
He also has "spikey" skills. Really good at stuff like drawing, dancing, sports, but he sucks at things like reading, math, etc
Mostly what makes me see him as autistic it's how he struggles in social situations. Bro doesn't know how to flirt unless he's got a bucket of chicken on hand
Soldier:
Honestly if anyone's autistic coded it's soldier
Special interest is all things American, especially if it relates to the military
Lots of autistic people wear certain items that remind them of something they like, usually disregarding things like how it looks or even whether or not it's comfortable. Soldier's helmet is way too big for him but he's almost always wearing it anyway
In meet the spy he does "hut hut hut" when he's doing down the stairs and it makes me so happy
He has no filter, he takes things really literally, he often sees suggestions as orders (teleporting bread anyone?)
Also when he says he's been doing nothing but teleport bread for 3 days it makes me think he must've been hyperfocused on that
I don't think he knows anything about volume control since he's yelling everything
What kind of neurotypical fights bears in Siberia while naked and covered in honey
He speaks his mind rather than beating around the bush
His helmet could also double as helping him avoid eye contact
Pyro:
Tell me they don't have aversion to like every texture besides their suit you can't
A lot of their animations are super stimmy
Pretty much nonspeaking
Has childish interests
Could also have schizophrenia? (I'm relatively uninformed about it tho so I might not be a good person to judge)
I bet half of their little mmph mmmph noises are audio stims
Special interest is fire
their stim is ARSON
Demo:
I headcanon him as AuDHD too
I mean tbf a lot of how he is is more related to alcoholism but shhh let me have this
But I mean he made friends with Soldier
Special interest in medieval weapons which would explain why he's crazy about swords?
Drinking could be an unhealthy coping mechanism/safe food
Probably also depressed with how he can never live up to his family's expectations
Infodumping about bombs in his introduction video
Honestly most of my "evidence" for him is just fanon but idc I like autistic Demoman
Heavy:
Whether or not him having a PhD in Russian literature is canon, some of his in game lines show him to be very poetic and thoughtful
The fact that he only has a few food items but always seems super happy to be eating them gives me safe food vibes
He sings and hums a lot, probably as a stim
He has the Resting Autism Face™
Special interest in his gun
A lot of his voice lines also just feel really stimmy to me, especially when he's doing the "YATATATATATA" thing
Not sure he has any volume control either
Seems to genuinely enjoy Medic's morbid stories, at least to a point
He really really really really really likes the song of the Volga boatmen in particular
He's the prettiest princess it's canon, you can't be a pretty princess without being autistic /j
He has a tiny bed for Sasha. HE HAS A TINY BED FOR SASHA
Heavy is often criticized as a class because guess gameplay is relatively simple and can become a little stale for a lot of people. Yet Heavy seems to have some of the most excited voice lines in the game. I feel like this emphasizes how much he thrives in routine, since he seemingly never gets bored of just doing his thing
Engie:
He has 11 phds
A lot of his voice lines also sound really stimmy to me. Either he's going YEEHAWW GIDDY UP or he's yelling DAMNIT DAGNABIT DANGIT DAGGIT NABBIT
Probably a lot of echolalia with that too
He humanizes his buildings and cares for them like a mother bird
Just listen to his genuinely heartbroken when his sentry gets taken down!
When playing Engie sometimes I find myself smacking stuff with my wrench even though I KNOW it's already level 3 and maxed and whatnot, or I KNOW I'm out of metal, just because I wanna hear the clang noise. So this point is just me projecting but I love the mental image of Engie giving his things a few extra whacks too
He sawed off his arm for his special interest
His whole monologue in meet the engineer is so autistic sounding to me
His dancing taunt also feels stimmy
He's always hunched over, implying irregular posture
He's a NERD—
Man of many talents including playing the guitar
Never takes those goggles off
How does he turn a stressful TF2 match into a (not so) relaxing tower defense game?
Medic:
I headcanon him as AuDHD too because he seems really scatterbrained and it feels like he's working on several things at once and always
He talks a LOT. definitely an infodumper
Either he's super stern or really giggly, there is no in between
He wears gloves in battle but not while doing surgery??? Does he just like organ textures??? Wacko
Special interest is obviously whatever the heck kinda of mad science he does
Here's a heavy medic headcanon I have: medic likes deep pressure hugs
Another special interest could be his birds
He's very spontaneous which makes me think AuDHD even more
Look how excited he gets when taking about the tumors in expiration date!
He got the organ stealing autism
Is it just me or does he fixate on baboon organs in particular???
Sniper:
I'm pretty sure all of you know why this man is autistic but I'm going to list some reasons here anyway
My main evidence tho are his Halloween voice lines: https://youtu.be/2WDljNAslys?si=JP25VOGGDWwwoCI7
Exhibit a, look how much he enjoys having an owl head
Exhibit b, lots of those voice lines make him sound really freakin' overstimulated
He probably wears the hat and shades for sensory reasons as well as because they look cool
Obviously the most socially reclusive of the mercs
I love his backstory where he learns he never felt like the other kids because he wasn't actually Australian, but what if he also didn't fit in with the other kids because he's autistic?
Also throwing rocks at people as a kid screams autism to me
No neurotypical would ever throw jars of his own piss at you either
I think he just wants to live in the woods somewhere and never come back to society and honestly that's based
I feel like he would be the type to bite his own arm when stressed (just like me fr 😭)
Extremely meticulous in following his own life rules (ie being professional and having standards, driving safely with the turn signal and everything)
Spy:
Ok just hear me out for this one
Smoking because stim reasons
He's literally and figuratively masking
He's very suave and probably really good with social things, but I feel like it looks like he's just practiced really hard, again MASKING
Who knows he might not even actually be French
Who collects photographic evidence for a ur mom joke
I see him as either being hypersensitive or hyper insensitive to pain depending on the day (his screams + "I do believe I'm on fire.")
Mad butterfly knife tricks as a stim? (Notice he couldn't help but fiddle with them even disguised as scout in meet the spy)
He sucks at dealing with relationships and that's one of the reasons he's a bad dad
He actually really cares about his team and you can see it especially in expiration date but he's not very good at expressing it
Do you think he wears the ski mask for sensory reasons too?
Probably has his suits tailored to not give him any sensory issues, which could be another reason he likes them so much
Believe me I could go on but I think this is enough to get my point across
THEY ARE ALL AUTISTIC >:00
