[@thedorkknight9684]

as somebody on the spectrum, i LOVE marcy. ngl, i cried at the scene of her trying to show her friends the movie. it just hit so close to home. i barely talk to a lot of people about my special interests, because my family just usually ignores me.

@@michalelkin-bronner7958apparently she wasn’t written with it in mind, at least not at first.

[@i_am_only_an_insane_person]

The saddest part is the way she said again at 0:33 , because it proves her friends often ignore her, and she's used to it, yet still cares for them and still doesn't want to be separated from them. By the way, by ignored I mean generally ignoring her feelings, her interests, etc, because IK Anne is always trying to look out for her.

[@Jime-]

Lmao Yes, i relate to that part a looot, thats why Marcy is my favourite character :D

[@ghoull2010]

i think this quite happens to me with people like friends irl, school, and other stuff because im autistic aswell and, i really want more attention and more respect, im not really the same as marcy, distracted and all elegent.

[@SH1N0Z]

Well, I mean, realistically speaking, Anne is a better person than Marcy. Marcy was EXTREMELY selfish and inconsiderate of everyone around her. She also kidnapped her friends and was planning to forever.

[@mattlakeson]

@@SH1N0Z sorry but I still love Marcy more

[@SmellenBellen]

@@SH1N0Z alright she’s a teenage girl who had a poorly thought out plan (which she didn’t even think would work) after learning about leaving her best friends forever not a criminal mastermind. Not to mention she was absolutely distraught over doing it to her friends so I think we can give her a little credit

[@jeremyusreevu237]

I'm not autistic, but I am neurodiverse and relate to Marcy a lot. I love to read, and love obscure TV shows and movies, so I related to things like her line about reading in Gym, and how she cares a lot about the games and movies she's passionate about, as I read in class a lot when I was younger, and I'm very passionate about the movies and shows I watch. She's a very fun, likable, and relatable character that I take a lot of comfort in, and is easily my second favorite Amphibia character, only behind Hop Pop.

[@poompcom]

HELLP I LOVE HOP POP

[@Glamrock_Freddy_869R]

I have ADHD and as soon as I saw her character in a random compilation I immediately searched up what show she was from. I instantly loved her character 1:14 also That looks like a nintendo switch and I love Nintendo qnd I have a switch soooo

[@OneYellowOstrich]

I also love HOP HOP,Marcy and also relate to her very much

[@jacobcox4565]

That first clip really speaks to me. I am also on the Autism spectrum, and my special interest is animals, dinosaurs specifically. Everytime I got into talking about animals, or new discoveries about dinosaurs with classmates, I always felt like everyone just sat through what I had to say without really listening to anything. They just stayed silent and waited for me to finish so they could promptly ignore me and talk about something else. Even when I was in conversation with someone, I felt like they just wanted to talk with someone else. That clip made me feel for Marcy, she really loved that movie and wanted to talk all about it, but her friends were just disinterested. I really get that feeling of dejection, realizing no one cares about what you have to say mid-conversation, and you're either told to stop talking, or you catch yourself and just back away silently.

[@jacobcox4565]

@Irishmando155 Okay, What's your favorite dinosaur then, I really like Pachyrhinosaurus, and also Utahraptor.

[@jacobcox4565]

@Irishmando155 The one with spikes on the tail? That's Stegosaurus, but there are also many other dinosaurs related to Stegosaurus that have way more spikes. Also, the name you mentioned refers to a different dinosaur called Brachiosaurus, the long-necked one that was in the first Jurassic Park movie. You did spell it wrong, but I don't blame you, a lot of dinosaur names are hard to spell. I don't know much about weather though. Yet I have seen a video predicting that this winter is going to have some really big blizzards in Northeastern U.S. I just hope it doesn't get too cold too quick where I am, I like to actually enjoy autumn without wearing layers.

[@jacobcox4565]

@Irishmando155 I like it at first, but it gets old fast. Where I live, December barely gets any snow, then when January comes up, it gets a lot of snow, and the snow and ice doesn't let up until March or April. However, I still like some things about snow, I remember playing outside and digging out burrows in the snow drifts, and I love the cozy feeling of being warm inside after spending some time being cold outside. The holiday season can also be pretty fun as well.

[@jacobcox4565]

@Irishmando155 Dang, and here I thought Midwest weather was weird. I remember a week in spring, one day it was freezing rain, then a couple days after that it was warm enough to wear a t-shirt, then a day after that it was snowing.

[@FjongFleron]

as a autistic guy myself i agree with the title here. is is likely one of the best reps i have seen. she feels way more like a normal human being then many others we have seen in other shows. i cant relate with everything about her. but no one really can. what matters is how much she means to me as good rep. i love her alot, and she is def worthy of being one of my fav animation characters of all time

[@Cj-lk6jp]

she's my favorite character by far, as an autistic person and also as a general dork :p and also because i relate to her FAR too much

[@FutureRetroRoots]

No wonder i like this character so much, she's so relatable to me 😊. (I'm way far into my adult years, but still)

[@waIlflowerr]

also the scene where marcy tells anne she haa trouble looking people in the eyes which is so relatable (i only look people i trust in the eyes or people that are far far far away from me)

[@saff2086]

2:46 I love how Anne is *Anne-imated* in this scene, it’s so funny-looking I love it.

[@everfree1992]

I have autism myself along with some obsessive compulsive disorder symptoms, so I totally relate to Marcy, with certain stuff like a love for gaming, and not looking where I am going because I'm focused on something else sometimes.

[@DerekBackofen]

Marcy is the most precious person ever

[@tbjoshua8941]

"When you get into something, you tend to tune everything else out" GEE WHY DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR?!

[@docfox4353]

I am actually Autistic myself, but I never actually got that invested into Marcy’s character. There are things I like such as her enthusiasm for learning and geekiness for things she loves. But I can’t relate to her love of games, RPGs, and anime ( my special interest is wild animals ). And sometimes it feels like her quirks are forced. It really feels like Marcy’s quirks are her dominant trait, and it is frustrating to see her demonstrated as this super genius when not all Aspies are like that. Yes we have special interests but it feels like Marcy is automatically good at everything (In the scavenger hunt episode, I honestly resonated with Anne more because one part of being Autistic I struggle with is feeling inadequate compared to my peers and that no matter how hard I try, I will not be good enough). Luz feels like better rep because while we see she is good at the things she likes, she does struggle with other aspects, and we see more of her low esteem, which is something I also struggle with. I honestly think Luz is a better representation of ADHD and Autism than Marcy.

[@Y_AXiSs]

that makes sense:] wild animals are my special interest, but i also really love media like anime and games

[@Praisedasan81939]

You think they feel forced? I am not autistic but I almost identify myself with 100% and as someone who is mostly seen by others as scientist due to my profession some of my university friends wouldnt believe that I am actually someone who loves RPGs and Souls Games One of them was kinda shocked/surprised how i could talk about Final Fantasy as if i studied the series for an exam as if my life depends on

[@Y_AXiSs]

@@Praisedasan81939 no it's not forced, i'm autistic and similar in age to her and she's very realistic, some symptoms just are pretty obvious and out there, doesn't make them "forced" just means she's visably autistic

[@LilSweetSillyMe]

Marcy it's my favorite character so far...I'm not autistic...but I can relate to her,when I was younger my friends doesn't really give me the atention i needed, every time I talked about some awesome show that i wached,they just commented something like:"Cool!"or just nods for me,but I still looking out for them,and cause of that,I desenvolved some kinda of fear to saying the things I like,I dont have fear anymore (I think)but I can sadly agree that hurts bad...another thing that I relate to her,its this thing of being in the zone to much...when I'm reading a book,or waching something and its interesting, the rest of world just disappear...and sometimes I miss something important that its happening...

[@Moytheboy]

I relate with Marcy the most out of the three, both of us have autism, then we both have big interests in specific subjects. I’m not sure if that’s for everyone or if Marcy has autism but it is strikingly interesting with how similar we are.

[@Jayda.Rawiri]

I'm not autistic nor anywhere on the spectrum, but Marcy is unreasonably relatable to me. Especially with the interest problem with showing Sasha and Anne what she likes and enjoys 😭 I swear, green characters are SO relatable for no reason
