if you want to examine any caboose ship while taking canon dynamics into account you have to contend with the fact that basically no one actually respects him and either decide if you wanna just discard that ableism and have fun or try and tackle what that would actually mean for a relationship with him. but while simmons definitely does have scenes where he does not respect caboose at all, when they’re one on one he does actually tend to treat him and his way of thinking with respect. like i love their canon dynamic so much. i think simmons would actually recognize that caboose is smart if they really talked. i think they would talk about tech shit and simmons would understand him. i think they can be autistic together <3
