Last Night, Some Of Us Were Talking About The Game On My Discord Server. The Conversation Somehow Turned

Last night, some of us were talking about the game on my Discord server. The conversation somehow turned to us admitting that we're all different flavours of neurospicy (like you do?), and suspecting some of the characters as well. We agreed that Riddle might have OCD. Kalim and Cater probably have ADHD. Floyd could be bipolar. Leona, Cater and Idia have depression. Rook, Malleus and Silver could possibly be autistic. But, more interestingly, we talked about how Jamil and Vil might be somewhere on the autism spectrum with the latter being super high masking.

For Jamil...

He almost has a meltdown during the first Halloween event.

Almost has another one during the fireworks one.

Often bobs his head up and down during class.

Fidgets his magipen as much as Kalim.

Talks to himself A LOT in order to process his own thoughts and emotions, even in front of others.

He kinda sounds monotone most of the time unless he gets REALLY emotional. (This is not to diss the VA. He's doing an excellent job and that suits his character. It's just an observation.)

For Vil...

He doesn't understand social norms and communication as much as he lets on. He has no idea how to get his points across effectively. He often has the best of intentions and genuinely wants to help people, but instead he comes off as a intense, domineering hardass in order to get others to see his points. This is even worse for when others who are operating on a different wavelength than him like Epel where he doubles down on things and takes more drastic actions to get his points across. I think part of that is due to him not knowing how to get his points across in a less harsh fashion and knowing when to cool it. Though, we all agreed that some of this could also be thanks to having little friends his own age growing up. (Side note, this is something I struggle with IRL, but I'm working on it and have gotten better at this over the years.)

Vil seems to over value others' opinions, especially loved ones, even when his own intuition tells him those ideas are stupid ideas. Some of this could be thanks to not wanting to lose his few friends like Rook and wanting to be accepted. But, I also suspect it could also due to him not always understanding when others are trying to sway him for the worse, ironically making him more susceptible to manipulation. (Not that Rook is maliciously manipulating him, but he is a bad influence on him and is rather toxic regardless.)

He has rigid thought patterns.

Keep in mind, none of us are doctors or psychologists. We could be off base with all this. These are just headcanons. These guys being possibly neurospicy doesn't excuse their bad behaviour or actions throughout the game. Just like it doesn't for anyone in real life.

I'm surprised there aren't more autistic headcanons for those two. Because they do show some possible signs, especially Jamil.

What do you think about Jamil's new groovy?

Lol you're a bunch to ask me this so here:

-Yes I've seen it

-Yes I love it

-Yes I will still RIOT BECAUSE I WANTED A PILLOW FIGHT!!!

And thats all because I try not to reblog/post Groovy spoilers :3

RPG protagonist syndrome

Hey, your art in Look Upon the Light is awesome! It’s lowkey made me cry in conjunction with V’s writing, and I will absolutely be thinking about the panels with Falena comforting Leona until the end of time. Another fave is Vil’s shaken expression right after Jamil reflexively punches him. They’re very emotional and the way you drew them is 10/10. (Also your poses are very fun!! I’m enjoying the variety!!)

ANKSBDIBSS THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I'm so happy you like it all.

Honestly the two comics you are referring to are some of my favorites. There are more coming but those are the OG best parts for me haha

I hope you'll like the rest of the fic and the art o/

With them being fish peeps, it makes sense they wouldn't have to deal with it but imagine after they come on land and have human bodies the Octo Trio guys have to deal with acne and stuff like human teens do.

They freaking hate it.
