What makes Marcy Wu from Amphibia the autistic girlie ever of all time? Here's what the people have to say:

- I was also linked to this Reddit thread. Marcy-related asks/reblogs: x This post will be updated after each round!

Image ID in alt text and under the readmore.

[Image ID. White slide with a screenshot of Marcy in the top left corner, she is wearing her sleepover outfit. She is surrounded by text boxes which read,

"YOU KNOW WHO SHE IS. YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHY. I LOVE HERTTRRRR"

"Easily obsessed with her favorite media (and her girlfriends), has trouble forming connections (although it’s not impossible, as mentioned with the aforementioned girlfriends as well as the episode Maddie and Marcy), and enters The Zone often enough for it to directly affect the plot of the show she’s in."

"Khztixkgxgshckhxgic she's just iconic"

"Infodumps a bunch, stims a lot too"

"This girl infodumps constantly, is super smart but easily distracted, and is super clumsy. Also she totally does the raptor hands."

"I don't feel she has a *touch* of it. Everything about this girl SCREAMS autism. Her brain has no zoom out feature, her mouth has no mute button, her trust and knowledge have no bounds, and she will obsess over her interests to the point of ignoring everyone around her. And she made quite an impression on Amphibia viewers from her very first moments on screen. If Marcy doesn't win this tournament, there is something very wrong with this tournament."

"Please please please please she’s the most autistic ever please please she stims she can’t make eye contact she’s a nerd she has trouble communicating she’s got interests her friends don’t share and it hurts her when they aren’t interested in them like she is she makes mistakes she’s adorable she’s the most autistic ever please please please please"

"one of the writers of the show said they had autism in mind while writing her, also look at her, she's got it, you can't say that she doesnt"

"Marcy gets way too hyperfixated on her interests. She's very oblivious of her surroundings when she's focusing on something. She struggles with social interactions. Whenever she's in social places, she's either off in her own world or focusing on a video game. She speaks quickly and excitedly whenever something peaks her interest, and often doesn't give other people time to process and understand exactly what she's telling them. She reacts in an overly excited manner towards ‘new’ things. She is often too blunt for her own good. When asked if she's autistic, series creator Matt Braly said "She was not written with that intention but I think we get to know our characters better as we write them. In many ways they tell us who they are, not vice versa. I am so happy to see people identify with her in this way." "

"she stims, mentions having trouble with eye contact, and info dumps. and its 99% canon. (was made canon retroactively)"

"she has a lot of "typical" traits for an autistic/autistic-coded character, but personally i find her less insulting than some of those tend to be. she's described as very smart but oblivious, and she has a tendency to get extremely focused on things so much so that she starts to ignore her surroundings. i think she's especially good autism rep because she isn't just a quirky supergenius, she also has flaws that are also relatable to autistic people. one of these that i was especially happy to see is her clumsiness/lack of coordination, which is something which can be a trait of autism but isn't recognized or represented often. additionally, she can become obsessive about trying to get people to like and accept her, which is something i think a lot of autistic people can relate to."

"its canon!! also she infodumps, has a hyperfixation, and is scared of change :D"

"She often plays video games while everyone else is trying to work and often gets so invested that she doesn't notice things she's gonna trip over She regularly picks up new video games which she infodumps about Isn't great at picking up when people are having intense emotions, but still cares deeply for her friends For a while when the main characters are up to shenanigans she just reads books in a library" End ID.]

Aris Media 2023 #21: Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

it feels like a crime that as someone who's most played genre is 3D platformers, Jak was one of the few I haven't played, but I finally, *finally* got around to it! playing this one turned into a weirdly nostalgic experience for something I never played before, so let's get to talking about it, cuz Naughty Dog certainly won't! Jak and Daxter AKA The One Game Everyone Making B-Tier PS2 Platformers Kinda Just Stole From

to be honest to start i wasn't really vibing with it. the presentation is? fine? i don't like most of the character designs despite how well animated they are, and the writing got so obnoxious to me with Daxter in particular after a point I just kinda played most of the game on mute dghfgjfgj

plus the moveset and Jak in general just, didn't feel great to use? felt very bogged down and kinda tame compared to what I usually like in my 3D platformers? but after i found about the SICK ASS roll jump and also how much better used the Eco systems (hehe) get used as the game goes and. damn? it felt like i was experiencing my childhood again ngl??

Jak and Daxter reminds me a lot about what I've missed about the 6th gen, which, y'know, makes sense, it's impact can certainly be felt in so many games of the era released after it. the seamless world in particular is one of its strongest points and the game uses it very well! it isn't just. oh you're in lava level and you go in snow level-okay wait that actually doesn't happen I should Shut the Fuck Up

but there's just a general vibe to Jak 1 in particular I feel was used so liberally after it, what with every single NPC being this exaggerated stereotype that's Extremely Self-Aware, the seamless tropical world, and that energy in general in a way i can't describe. I think it's when I hit Misty Island that I was going like, holy shit, I've needed something like this again, cuz it's such a tightly designed level while still being open and? I love 3D platformers yall? there's something that just inherently feels GOOD no matter what about getting a Power Cell, a weight to it that felt special and rewarding. i miss when collectibles had that raw energy to them just exploring these places in general felt so good, not just with the somehow still impressive today connected world but just. they get really fun to explore, even beyond Misty Island. I wasn't expecting to dig the Spider Cave as much as I did but that might be my favorite area?? climbing around a giant robot construction site, activating light crystals n shit. hooo. that and Lost Precursor City were easily the highlights of the game!! used the game's systems very well and never felt like a bore

also there's a vehicle in this game called the Zoomer and idk that's funny to me, it runs into walls and explodes just like the real deal

anyway, yeah! second draft later after i accidentally lost my first one writing this and all in all, really liked Jak 1! giving it an A grade. the game gets better as it goes along, and comes out REALLY fun by the end, but i think the early bits are still just kinda. there? plus again i wasn't fully into the story n writing so i can't say it's something I'd hyperfixate over, more just a really really good time that actively makes me want to try out the sequels despite their departures! not like I really have any mutuals into these games I think so this is really just my own induced Descent into Madness but that's why i do these blogs, to ramble about my dumb experiences ghfjhfj

All superheroes are neurodivergent, and I refuse to believe otherwises. In fact, I will list some of the Marvel heroes I headcanon as ND

Scott Lang: ADHD. He jumps from fixation to fixation, his reoccurring hyperfixation being magic, he speaks out of turn and usually off topic to whatever is currently going on, has poor time management and is impulsive. He also had a strong moral code and will do what he feels is best, ie stealing from the rich. Luis and him get along so well because they’re brains are wired similarly, I’m just saying 👀

Tony Stark: ADHD/AUSTISM. This one is just as obvious as Scott. His special interest is science, he has poor social skills outside of what he’s adopted from others (masking in the form of sunglasses and a celebrity attitude), he doesn’t get social cues, is abrupt and interrupts others when hyperfocused and is know to be very impulsive. He has emotional outbursts when overwhelmed/overstimulated (though he deals with understimulation a lot too IMO), not good with empathising but is shown he can sympathise with others and even show them compassion if he’s close to them. Again, strong sense of justice that fits his own definition (deciding that he should be held responsible for his mistakes in making weapons, Ultron and Sokovia, etc).

Steve Rogers: AUTISM. Strong sense of justice, emotional outbursts, stretchy fabric/layers to avoid oversensitivity 👀, special interests were art and maybe even war/fighting, hard time making friends growing up, relates to others with his own stories when comforting people because that’s the only way he knows how, when he’s not interested in a task he will just leave without justifying it (ie the science exbo) which makes him appear arrogant (and Bucky seems used to Steve just randomly wandering off, probably cause Steve’s done it all throughout their friendship).

Bucky Barnes: ADHD. Poor time management, oversharing, bad with tones (his own and others), always seems confused because he’s almost never paying attention to a situation but instead is instead three topics ahead in his own mind, his hyperfixation in the 40’s in fantasy novels and science (specially mechanics) and he regains those fixations post-HYDRA but catching up on modern day fantasy media & boat mechanics. Makes notes of everything so he doesn’t forget anything, makes impulsive decisions all the time (freeing Zemo, asking Wakanda for new wings, moving in with Sam, etc) and has a (un)healthy dose of rejection sensitivity dysphoria.

Sam Wilson: AUTISM. Sam is the ultimate masker but this man has ASD and no one can tell me otherwise. He hates changes to his routine without his consent (ie unable to get rid of the boat, jogs every morning, etc), his special interest is technical engineering (his wings & Redwing), he often jokes at inappropriate times & refuses to apologise unless he feels he was in the wrong. Strong sense of justice, emotionally shuts down when stressed, has many casual friends but very few close friends because he finds it hard to connect with people (he connects with Nat, Steve & Bucky cause they’re all ND, duh).

Natasha Romanoff: AUTISM. Growing up in the red room forced her to be an expert at masking, but whenever she doesn’t seem to be acting ‘appropriately’, she’s shown to be uncaring of social cues, burns out easily, and thrives off routine. Her special interest was probably ballet for a long time before it was ruined for her. She wears tight clothes because she doesn’t like baggy outfits that will brush against her when she’s not expecting it and keeps her hair red because it’s her one constant that makes her feel comfortable and gives her something to focus on when she’s overwhelmed.

Peter Parker: ADHD/AUTISM. Do I really need to explain this one? I feel it’s overly on the nose. Hyperactive, special interest is spiderman, hyperfixation is science and pop culture, socially awkward and talks a little too fast for everyone else to catch up with. He’s the ADHD/ASD combo that slots right in under the wing of Tony.

James Rhodes: AUTISM. Come on. Come on. I just,,, he’s best friends with Tony Stark. He’s wanted to be in the Air Force since he was a kid, he went to MIT and has a Masters in the science of Aerospace Engineering. He’s the voice of reason and always thinks of the obvious conclusions without thought to the moral implications (ie killing baby Thanos) or the emotional process of others (ie Steve crashing into the ocean instead of jumping out of the plane). He’s stubborn and rarely yields to others opinions, even if it puts him under social scrutiny. He spends months looking for Tony when most would assume he was dead (and Rhodey has been shown to be very rational and level headed in everything else) because, honestly, I think Tony is his favourite person.

Bruce Banner: AUTISM. Bad with socialising, off in his own world half the time, ahead of conversations, heavy dose of RSD, jumps to conclusions because he interrupts others, emotional outbursts, special interest in physics (though he does have six other PHDs), etc. I’m also pretty sure he had DID as a kid (Hulk was his alter).

Thor: ADHD. Impulsive, doesn’t like change, poor time management, bouts of depression & anxiety, Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria, interrupts others, seems dumber than he is due to having no filter from brain to mouth, comfort item is his hammer, personally I think he hyperfixates on Jane Foster because she’s the first human he’s really met which is why the eventual break up isn’t as painful as say Tony’s break with Pepper.

Peter Quill: ADHD. Look I could explain this one, but it’s just his whole vibe. The obsession with old school music and film, the impulsive behaviour, the way he interacts with others, he just gives the vibe.

DC BONUS

BATMAN: AUTISM. Special interest is bats, self isolates, doesn’t get along with others because he’s socially awkward, his mask is Bruce Wayne, lives by a strict moral code, blah blah blah HES OBVIOUSLY AUTISTIC (and so are all the robins send tweet)

Just to let you know, you’re one of the best bloggers I met in this thrice damned site and I admire you a lot. Honestly, you give me a lot of hope, and your metas are fucking amazing. Sometimes I come here if I want to calm my obsessions down and be rational. I’m the kind of person who ends up easily fixated on a character if I identify with them, so I end up focusing on them and daydreaming about em, and Timmy is my latest fixations which makes me gloss over his flaws pretty easily 1/2

2/2 so coming here and reading your analysis about him and seeing some of his flaws makes me more rational, ya know? Like, Timmy is a great character and pretty fucking badass but he’s still human. He makes mistakes, he judges, he has flaws and all that shit. And idealizing him and shitting on other characters, like I see some extreme stans, is pretty shitty. Honestly, shitting on any character is Shitty, tbh. Let people enjoy their stuff. Anyway, sorry for rant, I’m maniac so eh 🤷🏼‍♀️thnx!

As far as how I think, I feel as if that’s a perfectly normal thing to happen, at least to people that have a habit of getting hyperfixated. And even I had the problem for a little while.

When you feel so connected to something, it hurts that there could be any flaw about the character. You want to ignore it, bury it, pretend it’s not there.

But in my case I learned to realize that it would be very very boring without character’s having flaws. The mark of a good character isn’t in how little flaws they have, it’s about how well-written they are.

Timmy’s just a kid. While he’s smart, caring, naive, cute, dweebie, sensitive emotionally at least internally, things that make you really really like him (at least for 90s Tim who is my jam, later Tim feels like a total different character to me so I don’t quite like him). He still has flaws, he can be a little insensitive since he’s new and naive to the bigger world and how people can feel to the point it’s probably hurtful, he can be quite passive aggressive to people he’s not enjoying being around him at which ever moments he’s not enjoying it, can be way too trusting even (at least at the start), as well as have his temper come out when he’s completely overwhelmed.

He’s not a perfect person, but the way he and his world is set up, as well as his likable traits. If you’re into his type of character and world, you can’t help but love him. Because all good characters have something likable about them, and struggles and problems that make them feel real. Not being a perfect person given the fact he is just a kid and therefore is expected to not be Mr Maturity.

Sadly I think another great reason why people are so sensitive over their fav’s flaws is just how other people use it against them. I’ve seen a few people now use panels of Tim having a fit to act like as if his natural mode is being an angry shouter, when no, that isn’t the case, and it is very dumb to act otherwise.

It’s why I think, in another way, people just need to realize that character’s having flaws mean nothing. It’s the quality of the writing and especially at the least how you just like him that matters.

At this point it ends up in people making completely new character’s in the desire to keep them looking pure or at least have this nice shiny complexion. Just look at Damian or Steph, they’d have you believe they’re just sensitive and sweet people that only made simple harmless mistakes that they’re past now. When, if ya actually read and pay attention to their comics, is obviously not the case.

Steph had a whole few issues showing how emotionally abusive she could be, and it was all brushed aside because her creator that was still writing Robin at the time didn’t want her to look bad. Same stuff with Damian and Tomasi, or even Taylor at this point.

But in my eyes, it means nothing that they do such bad things, because that doesn’t make them bad characters, it’s how they’re written that makes them poor characters in my mind.

Jason had a bag full of decapitated heads one time in his best and most well-known story, you think that’s going to make him a bad character? That’s ridiculous, he was so well-written in that story. That story is why he’s still popular to this day, given so many people haven’t really liked any story he’s been in since. Look at his sales recently, they’re so garbage or mediocre at best for years now. Yet so many people still like him, because he was just so well-written at one point. Same for Tim, who has sold and has been written like garbage for years. His fanbase may not be as active anymore given how long his garbage writing been going on for, but when he was written well, he was so so popular.

Using character flaws, or using character flaws in a false context, to use as reasons to call a character bad is ridiculous. Or even just using their flaws to act like that’s the whole character. That makes no freaking sense to me. How awful media would be if every character was flawless? Where would the drama and character come from then? Now imagine if a character flaw that sometimes barely even happens represented their whole character or should be used to change your whole opinion despite how it’s not actually that bad in context. How depressing would that be.

It’s so bland.

Every character has their flaws, and everybody has their own opinion on those characters or relationships good or bad, and I feel we should be allowed to say them.

But people’s unwillingness to keep it rational and easy going has created this toxic unhealthy environment for people. I’m not happy with it one bit.

And also I’d like to thank you so so much for being an absolute sweetheart. Knowing that I’ve actually gained admiration and hope from someone gives me satisfaction that I never felt like I’d actually reach ever in life. It’s a little butterfly feeling in my stomach, but not in an anxious way, just a genuinely happy way just to here it. That little smile that pops up without you even meaning to do it.

Thank you so much. <3

hyperfixation ask: ✨💞

You didn't specify but I'm gonna assume you wanna hear about P4 so here goes lmao

✨ what draws you towards your hyperfixation? what is interesting about it?

Uhhghh... I honestly don't know? God that sounds bad, I mean I haven't really... rationalized it yet? Obviously the characters and their relationships are top notch. And the whole idea of a shadow is fascinating, the way P4 goes about it. But unlike with eg Boueibu, I can't name a clear single aspect that draws me to it;;

💕 Tell us about one of your favorite characters and why you like them!

For the love of God I can't talk about Yosuke. Is this the time to struggle through the incredibly specific chain of events and emotions that lead to my weird relationship to Adachi in literary form? Yeah I guess it is. Warning for major Persona 4 spoilers.

So first of all you gotta know that 1. I'm a terrible judge of character, 2. I tend to think everyone is good until proven otherwise and desperately believe in the goodness of people, and 3. I have the capacity to forgive too easily and in wrong situations. I know this starts out terribly.

But like... I liked Adachi from the beginning. He seemed kinda pitiful and incompetent, but sympathetic. I can see the pessimism and indifference that was always there in retrospect, but referring back to point 1, I couldn’t the first time around. On surface, he was the softer and friendlier counterpart to Dojima's tough and untrusting attitude. A pleasant guy, fun to be around. Terrible at thinking his words through before speaking though, and constantly chastised for it, I felt bad for him. And I couldn't completely drop the feeling after being spoiled way too early on (shame on me for not staying away from fanfics). I tried to tell myself that I shouldn't trust him or think too highly of the guy I knew to be the murderer I was after, but... Referring back to points 2 and 3, the positive first impression was too strong and I couldn't just discard it at the drop of a hat.

But the Investigation Team could. And it baffled me. Big time. The way I understood it (I may be wrong), they had also more or less liked or trusted Adachi. Then they figured out he was behind everything, and all sympathy and attachment was out the window immediately. And I guess it made perfect sense and was even the right thing to do, but idk. It left a bad taste in my mouth. I wasn't able to let go that quickly.

I grinded through Adachi's dungeon and the True Ending right before leaving for the winter break and pondered Adachi on the bus on my way to my parents' place. And primarily... I was sad. I know it's weird, but I was just so very SAD over it all. Not the obvious things; I didn't feel betrayed by Adachi because I already knew, I obviously wasn't displeased that he got apprehended, I can't say I sympathized with his motivations much. But the fact that the IT jumped straight into the "he's an unforgivable killer" mindset from the "he's kinda pathetic but harmless" mindset SO EASILY... So seamlessly, so effortlessly, like they'd never had anything personal to do with him at all? Couldn't be me, good for them.

I already thought that Yosuke has a lot in common with Adachi. Boredom, wish to be Something, feeling of being under- or unappreciated, mistreatment, all of this leading to resentment. Yosuke could, and I believe WOULD, have turned out like Adachi if he hadn't gotten that support network and positive human connections when he did. Then I watched a video essay on Adachi and it dawned on me that huh, it does go both ways. It's a cliche but love and friendship ARE the strongest might in the world. It's something Adachi never really had, and combined with some of his pre-existing ideals and experiences it lead to where it did... So ok, now I felt bad for Adachi again :/ I hope nobody cancels me for murder apologism or something.

And ok. Now we've established I have an emotional investment in Adachi and whatever went down with or surrounding him. An emotion is an emotion, whichever emotion it is, and... That's all it takes for a character to make an impression. So that happened. I can't honestly say I like Adachi as a person and I'm not even sure if I like him as a character. But he is fascinating, and I did go through some strange mental hoops to get where I am today, wherever that is, and the only way I know how to deal with it is to go "hurr durr adachi second favorite".

media hyperfixation ask game

#YEAH... yeah... the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma #i get hung up on things sometimes #but i have always been fascinated by villains ever since childhood #so here we are i have a weird adachi complex and regularly hold inner ted talks about him lmao #AND THEN I SAW ONE ADAYU/ADASOU COMIC ON TWITTER ONCE... AND NOW I KINDA SIDE HOE SHIP IT TOO...#i mentioned it on twitter in the name of honesty so ppl know what they're getting into by following me #already got hit with 'silence adasou shipper' once #when i was being an edgelord about adachi in persona awards #hm #i did kinda hand myself over on a silver platter there ngl #about me #livefreeordie13 #asks

The reason autistic headcanons matter to me

I argue with my partner sometimes about autistic headcanons. “You’re diagnosing people,” they say. (My partner is the most wonderful person in the world, but sometimes they get stuck on the medical model of disability. And they forget the distinction between real people and characters in fiction.)

‘Autism’ means a couple of different things at once. It can be a diagnosis, yes.* But it’s also a neurodivergence. A different way of being human. Much like being queer is a minority way of being human. (I am also that, so I know.) And this particular way of being human is rarely well represented in fiction or the media.

There are very few people like me on TV. There are a few characters who are clearly autistic-coded - mostly men characters. And they’re mostly based on stereotypes - since those are easier for writers who know nothing about what autism is actually like. See Sheldon’s particular form of social awkwardness and emotional distance and scientific savant-ness, on The Big Bang Theory. Or Dr House’s, um, social awkwardness and emotional distance and scientific savant-ness… It gets repetitive, and it unhelpfully reinforces those stereotypes.

But there are very few autistic-coded characters on TV who are autistic like me. Sensitive. With many feelings. Afraid of everyone and everything, because of a lifetime of being told they’re not right and don’t fit. Over-stimulated by an overwhelming world. Hyperfixating on things that matter a lot to them, even if no one else gets why. Determined to right the wrongs of the world. Alone, a lot of the time, because being around people can hurt - but also lonely. Afraid of pushing people away, but desperate for connection. Unable to understand basic social rules. So, so anxious.

So when I see a Ray Palmer or a Sylvia Tilly, I love them so much. They mean the world to me. An autistic person can be a superhero? An autistic person can go into space? Autism isn’t wiped out in the future? That gives me so. much. hope. Do you know how little hope I have that people like me will exist in 50 years, never mind 200? Do you know how under-valued my life is, my ways of being human are, by the whole of society? If you do: can you imagine how much it might mean to us to see autistic people just being neurodivergent, up there on screen? When Tilly ignores social codes that are meaningless to her, when Ray cries easily and loves hard and fast, when they both have vivid imaginary worlds and hyperfixate on their goals and put other people first and get into trouble because of who they are, and still get to be superheroes or space heroes, I feel valued. And that’s a rare thing, in this world that has devalued me all of my life.

So when I get yelled at for calling these characters autistic, because ‘it’s not canon’, I curl up and want to cry. When actors tweet that they never intended these characters to be seen as autistic, and fandom uses that to ‘prove’ they’re not, it hurts. And when I see them being written wrong/badly in fanfic, or having their autistic traits erased there, or being abused for their autistic traits, it really hurts. When they’re meanly hurt in stories, or not allowed to be their autistic selves there, I feel like someone treated me that way.

And mostly, this erasure and poor handling of these characters happens by/in fandom. While TV may not name these characters as autistic, it does, at least, let them be autistic.

Forget TV. All I want is more fanfic where these characters are overtly named as autistic. Where they’re allowed to be autistic. Where they’re shown to be good people despite – and because of – their autistic selves. Where the narrative deals with it when other characters make fun of them for autistic traits, and doesn’t let those other characters get away with it.

If you’re so devalued and invisible that you don’t even see yourself represented in fanfic, you know things are bad.

Wake up, fandom. Disabled and neurodivergent characters exist. Stop erasing them and stop denying who they are. Society treats us as though we’re invisible, but you don’t have to join them in that.

*Note that I say autism *can* be a diagnosis. The medical profession has all the power over diagnosis - which means gatekeeping, and diagnostic testing refused or done badly... That’s why diagnosis isn’t necessary to join the autistic/neurodivergent community. There’s a whole other post there, for another time.

anonymous inquired : 1 , 3 , 10 , 12 , 15

1. how many muses, do you think, have you had in total while on tumblr ?

somewhere easily in the high fourties low fifties.

3. do you often get ideas when watching new media? do you end up wanting a canon character, an oc in that world, or just things involving current muses in the world / with those characters?

depends, actually. sometimes i usually just want verses- but other times i’ll pick up a new muse / oc. depends if i can break from the grip of my special interest / hyperfixation.

10. if you play original muses with canon roots ( like oc siblings, coworkers, etc. ) or someone who’s been either just a name or a few lines of dialogue in canon, how do you build that character? do you pick the muse first and build from there, or do you need have the muse ready in your head and only then pick the connection, or a combination of the two?

i usually need a combination of the two. though- i usually pick characters that are mentioned first, ( like the p4 protag’s mom ) and then base that character’s personality by what we see in canon. it’s a weird process that feels like it only makes sense to me.

12. what’s the weirdest thing that has ever inspired you to make or pick up a muse?

sk/yrim top ten videos. i’m not even joking.

15. which muses of yours have currently very dead fandoms ?

my slender/verse & marbl/e hornets muses. i’m 7 years too late to the party, so- my sv & mh muses remain a special niche.

15 questions.

#vi. chapter cleared — answered !#long post /#i. * drives up to a sonic drive in and honks horn * yo does knuckles work here ? — ooc !
