Omggg I was gonna send you some asks about Egon headcanons and completely forgot lol
So I saw you headcanon Egon as autistic and wanted to know what kinds of stims you headcanon him to do/have! Also as a bonus what kind of fidgets do you think would work best for him? Because we all know those are hot and miss and not everything works for everybody 😂
It's funny, I had a bit about him being on the spectrum to be widely accepted fanon in the last ask, but trimmed it bc I'd already written a novel.
Stims are one thing I've actually put a lot of thought into as far as his character, cos like you said, they differ from person to person. I stim very differently from my spouse, lmao.
Finger tapping is one that he actually does in the first film; he's tapping his fingers on the surveyor's tape measure he's holding when they first got to the firehouse, and I feel like that's also pretty common. This was also my jumping-off point for a few of his other physical stims.
More under the cut!
So alongside finger tapping, I often see him doing the classic idle leg bounce. Both are mundane and fairly ubiquitous even among NT people, so he doesn't feel the need to actively resist or stop himself. Both motions tap into his sense of proprioception in a very pleasant way. Something about the motion coupled with the resistance of changing direction rapidly just pings his brain Just Right.
Another thing that stems from that, but one that he's learned to hide after one too many times getting mocked for it is dancing. I hc he learned to dance as a kid because well, in the late 40s and into the 50s that's just. What one learned to do, and in the first film it's stated that he and the others danced with some people at a club called The Rose. He enjoys the movement for the same reasons he taps his fingers or bounces his leg; there's motion through space, a sort of resistive feeling when there's a change in direction due to inertia, the impact of his feet on the ground. But he only dances whenever he's sure he's alone, so nobody really knows about it and they actually assume he can't dance, especially because he dislikes having to dance with a complete stranger, so his movements become stilted and almost robotic because the proximity to someone he's unfamiliar with.
You get him in the same room with someone he's comfortable with though and it's a different story >:)
Dancing as a stim also leads very nicely into his auditory stim. He's a Song Repeater of the highest caliber, and the music that tickles his brain is very much not what people expect. He tends to gravitate toward songs that have sounds more toward the lower ranges that feel 'fuller' sound-wise. Songs like Don't Bring Me Down by ELO, Gimme Some Lovin' by Spencer Davis Group, and The Loco-Motion by Grand Funk Railroad is one he listened to so much in college that Ray will change the station or turn off the radio outright if it comes on. But anything with a sort of 'heavy' or 'bouncy' feel to it, especially if it has repetitive or broad cyclic elements is going to get his attention most of the time.
He's also got a tactile stim with a bit of a story behind it, but I'll save that for another ask bc it's 1: Long and 2: Involves my headcanons for the kind of people his parents were. So, in lieu of any sort of purpose-made fidget toy, he's almost always got a rocker switch in his pocket:
The motion of clicking it back and forth is very pleasant to him, and he also likes the feel of the switch's smooth, concave profile and sometimes just runs his thumb along the curve rather than actually clicking the switch over. It's small enough to keep in his pocket or even just hold in his hand while he messes with it, and doesn't attract attention. And most importantly it's not loud. I definitely feel like he's one of those people who would have to be physically restrained from attempting to murder the pen-clicker in the room because it feels like someone stabbing him in the brain with a pencil repeatedly. Bad Noise(tm).

16: Name a movie you love that you would recommend to just about everyone.
One movie I love that I don't see people talk about enough is children of men, which probably isn't the taste of most people who follow me (it being a dystopian action-drama) but man it's so beautiful and well written and directed and has great rewatch value.
20: What genre mash-up would you most love to see that either hasn’t been done yet or hasn’t been done enough?
Absurdist horror comedy. Like evil Dead got it right now please do more that are actually funny!

For the telling you things ask I dunno if you're into Marvel or not so I apologize if you're not-
In the first Captain America movie, Red skull had this really cool looking rocket plane that looked like this:
I think it's really cool that it was actually in the movie because in real life it was called Focke-Wulf Triebflügel and was a German prototype/idea that never managed to get itself off paper. Why this is so cool to me is because the people behind the movie knew enough about history and were like, "Huh. The Germans couldn't end up making this. Hydra is pretty advanced though... Let's give it to them, they probably have the ability to make it." (Sorry for the infodump lmao)
duuuuuuuuude that is so cool!! I never knew that. red skull’s little propeller torpedo plane has haunted me for a long time actually.
I'm always game to help friends :) So... Accidental confession or something like that with TuckerReed??
"I can't stand the way she looks at you," Malcolm mutters quietly -- but not quietly enough; Trip turns and stares at him, eyebrows furrowed in confusion (what is his problem?).
"What? Are you jealous of me or something?" Trip teases -- it's fun, he wants to lighten the mood -- but when Malcolm turns away scowling, he adds, "Come on, Mal, I'll get you a girl."
"I don't want a girl," Malcolm snaps before he can stop himself, "I want you, Trip," and then he clamps his mouth shut, bright red; Trip blinks for a moment before stepping over to Malcolm and brushing his thumb over the other man's cheekbone.
1. Whose your favorite character throughout all the series? In The Original Series? Next Gen? Voyager? DS9? Enterprise? Discovery?
TOS- Spock
TNG- Data or Geordi
DS9- Julian and Kira
VOY- Janeway
ENT- not to be obvious or anything, but Shran (and Hoshi)
DSC- Culber and Stamets (Adira is quickly growing on me)
can choose a single character from any show? apparently not Yeah I really don’t think I could pick one out of all the shows
4. Tell us your favorite scene or memory from the series or fandom
This is genuinely so hard for me, I have so many memories. I really love all the time I spend on the ent discord and all the people there. In terms of recent memories/scenes I cried my eyes out to the scene with Adira, Stamets, and Culber but there are so many that come to mind.
9. What character do you most emulate?
I probably DO emulate Julian the most, but I WANT to emulate Janeway tbh.
