@nikythehikey I never thought of Frost's monotone as being an aspect of autism, but you're absolutely right! You're whole analysis here makes me very happy :)
@frownyclowny6955 I think felines refers to the members of the Felinae subfamily, and the larger order of Felidaeare all called felids. Tigers are part of the Pantherinae subfamily and thus arn't felines. I think over time because the vast majority of living cat species are under Felinae people started to use feline as a synonym for cat when it was originally was used to describe a certain kind of cat.

I love it when neurodivergence is portrayed in such a hilariously accurate but not truly debilitating or condescending way. Frost is not built "wrong", he is just very often awkward or out of his element. He's like a motorcycle on a mountain bike path. Awkward and messy, but not defective. When put in his element, he thrives like no other.

I'm pretty sure that has changed since then, but the joke remains.

okay yeah when he did the cupcake thing i SCREAMED because thats exactly what i do, i think someone didnt know what he was miming and he had to explain it which is sjhdmsbs
you’re talking about 4:10 right? because that’s actually nikkie’s own description based on a really high rolled con save (which is wild without the context of the campaign so i’d say just watch that session, it’s ep3)
God, every time I see clips of their WBTW game, I just think about how my DM ran it for us, and we got through the carnival in *one session.* I'm in awe how all those clips were in 9 episodes, and yet still they were in the carnival.
better yet, this all technically came from 4 sessions (episodes 1, 2, 3, and 9) i had trouble downloading episodes 4 and 5, and frost isn’t in episodes 6-8

Ik it was a fey curse, but the loudly talking about unicorns at every point reminds me so much of when i have a new hyperfixation.

Thing is, about half of that is intentionally part of the character; like, Bitsy doesn‘t do this. The info dumping is the real Derek though, my favorite Meta Bit in Uprooted is „I wanna say something smart but Bitsy is too stupid to know this so I can‘t“
@@avian1799 “bitsy saying things she doesn’t know how she knows” is also a favorite uprooted bit of mine and nine times out of ten it’s just because derek wants to share a neat fact

If I had to rank best to least favorite Avantris characters, it would be: 1. Chuckles 2. Gricko 3. Gideon 4. Kremy 5. Frost 6. Skadoosh 7. Bitsy 8. Peggy 9. Booker 10. Pugsley 11. Alexander Hamiltoad
fun fact, gideon is the one i probably relate to the least out of the main cast. a comp would probably focus on something other than relatable moments, or if you could say what in particular to look for i’ll see what i can do

since i saw a similar compilation for a different fandom do the same and people found it helpful, i thought i’d try to do a quick breakdown of the things that i believe could be used as evidence that frost is neurodivergent (note this is based on my personal experience as a diagnosed autistic person)
[EDIT 2: since i’ve seen some confusion start to pop up in places where these kinda hcs are discussed i’d just like to clarify that im talking about frost the character, _not_ derek the player]
0:36, 0:55, 1:48, 2:33 - missed social cues
1:06, 1:15, (probably) 4:10 - heightened sensory perception/sensitivity
1:21, 1:39, 1:48, 2:33 - literal thinking/misunderstanding certain euphemisms or nuances
1:15, 3:38 - fixation on minute details
3:16 can be seen as infodumping
3:04 - dexterity/fine motor skill issues (this one is admittedly a stretch and is only in the video in the first place bc they canonized it after nikkie said it was in character)
2:49 - not knowing how to react to praise/compliments (probably more a me thing tbh)
[general observation] - his general speech patterns and largely monotonous voice are known as a flat effect, and is common among autistic people. i don’t have it to the same degree but i do struggle to control my tone of voice when not making a conscientious, focused effort to do so (im told this is why it’s so hard for people to tell when im joking)
[not in video] - he picks up on the pattern of important plot points being grouped in threes (the three antagonists, prismeer being split into three realms, the carnival having three rules, etc) almost immediately. i didn’t include this in the video both because there were just too many clips of it and because i wasn’t sure if it was an actual character choice or just metagaming, but it’s worth noting
[not in video] - someone pointed out in the comments of i think ep3? that most of frost’s fey curses are reasonably similar to common sensory disturbances (random weird tastes, skin crawling/feeling like vines are growing out of you), obv it’s not the same but if we take a more poetic/metaphorical interpretation of fey curses…
[not in video] - this is almost definitely me overthinking things but while talking about ep9 with someone i started thinking about how mr light’s office is described with the same kinda vibes as most of the sensory rooms i’ve been in (at least the ones that weren’t child-oriented), again not that significant but worth noting

The cat-man is autism coded?? As an autism-(sometimes)man who is cat coded, this is certainly a shock! (I love Frosty sm tho)
This is so real
If you think about it, being a sorcerer is just magic autism actually
@@stinkzsys4995 i always saw wizards as the autism magic but yk maybe you’re right
I'm so glad that other people like Frost so much too 😢 I've been looking for this compilation way too long. Best character forever 😂😂😂❤
This is my reminder to continue watching Once Upon A Witchlight (i haven't finished it all yet but it's been a while since i listened to it)
This is my comfort video. I love autistic Frost sm. Hes just like me for real
Love how everyone basically has a fursona lol relatable
I'm a diagnosised Autist and never realise that the "eating a cupcake" part wasn't a common thing for everyone o.o
And I always thought Frosty was just being a dry humor character, but now, it totaly feels like he is indeed autistic ! XD
Wait-it’s not?
“Most people don’t ever understand that but it’s very true” me talking about all my garbage all the time
Y’know I knew there was a reason I was drawn to Frost in the shorts (aside from big kitty)
SO THAT'SSSS WHY I LIKE FROST SO MUCH LMAOOOO (i'm autistic myself lol)
I am very much a casual enjoyer of this campaign but as soon as I saw the thumbnail I thought “yeah that tracks”
... You know, cupcakes sound really good right about now.
I love Frost so much. Despite being the “straight man” to everyone else’s bs, he still gets so many fucking killer jokes. And also whatever’s going through his head is so fucking relatable lmfao
As someone who has never seen this campaign, Frost is also now my favorite.
I’m glad stumbling upon this comp I’ve found that multiple people while listening to this campaign have also thought that frost is autistic
This is not something I wanted but it should have been wayyy sooner thank you for this
YES
Nah that pumpkin seed question was on point
I was wondering the same thing
……..
Fuck
🎉 So happy to have this great work!
I relate to Griko and Frost so much, I also have ADHD
this compilation has only made me want to watch avantris More but unfortunately my own audhd makes it hard for me to watch long videos like theirs 😔 i’m gonna keep trying though
@@harmless_spider have you tried doing other things while listening to it in the background? thats what i did (until i got so invested i couldn’t focus on anything else while listening 😅)
@@nickythehickey i have actually but i’ve got Other Things that are long and boring that i’m listening to so it’s not been at the top of my list. it is now though lol
I can’t watch long videos either unless I’m knitting at the same time. X^) Gotta keep my hands moving or I get nervous
Frost gotta rizz'em with some 'tism... I love him
nooooooo oh my god i feel so called out by the food portion. orange kitties is the same
Oh my god I'm so glad people also see it. I didn't want to say anything but I totally relate to Frost in the way that I see my autistic traits in him 😭
Ohhh him being autistic makes so much sense that’s so cool!! I only watched their shorts so I never picked up on these details
I'm both gricko and frost in the crossword clip.
Also Frost is me frfr. (Got that autistic swag)
@@Gvtz_XD "autistic swag" was something i didn't know could exist but I love it.
im stealing it it's mine now you cant take it from me
@@fran-tl9nf don't worry. Everyone has swag, you get to name whatever you want.
@@Gvtz_XD YEAAAA!!!!!!!!
The cake eating thing, I just did the SAME THING while eating icecream, I ate the 2 flavours as excactly I could
Oh this seems like an interesting series
I love when Derek does crazy math, like I can’t do any math but does anyone ever fact check him?
@@BEEDRILL303 dammit now i have to check
@@nickythehickey I guess someone should lol
@@BEEDRILL303 im not even completely sure how to do that math im terrible at probabilities
I love frosty, theyrrrrrrrr great!
I have a DnD character inspired by Morning Frost, thats how much i love frost XD
Thing is, about half of that is intentionally part of the character; like, Bitsy doesn‘t do this. The info dumping is the real Derek though, my favorite Meta Bit in Uprooted is „I wanna say something smart but Bitsy is too stupid to know this so I can‘t“
@@avian1799 “bitsy saying things she doesn’t know how she knows” is also a favorite uprooted bit of mine and nine times out of ten it’s just because derek wants to share a neat fact
@@nickythehickey "Because...Only Mammals are affected by Capsaicin-Iunno what I'm sayin'!"
@@avian1799 “is that true?”
[extremely quiet] “yeah”
Last bite is a thing for a reason.
@@fernandotrevinocastro1018 i don’t know what this means /gen
OH MY GOD I LIVE FOR FROST AND GIDEON AND GRICKO AND CHUCKLES THEY ARE MY LIFE
Derek is my favourite character. I mean Frost...
I love you? 3:00
a mega edit (is that what they're called?) of Gideon open-mouth ear-piercing laughing for like 6 hours straight
Goated pfp
I could go for a bitsy comp....
That's to this video, I finally got what was so funny @2:33.
@@melanietanner5165 happy to be of service
So someone’s probably asked for this but can you do a compilation of either chuckles, Torbek, or that fire genasi I can’t remember the name of?
@@Multi_fandom_man honestly i wasn’t really planning on making this a series or anything, but if you can be any more specific about what you want i can definitely try :)
@@nickythehickey it can either be “Chuckles being a force of chaos” or “Torbek being a menace” or you can choose idk
I relate so hard.
Oh so THATS why i thought he was relatable
Frost is my fav I don't care what the statistics say
He's just like me fr
This video is incredibly reddit.... then again Frost is incredibly reddit as well, so it works.
@@hummel6364 i can’t tell if this is an insult or not
@@nickythehickey I can't either.
Frostism
@@FroggyBoi489 i made this exact joke the other day
@@nickythehickey hehe
@@nickythehickey btw, i also find Frost relatable because autism
Ngl I thought this was a she ra compilation. I might need more sleep
@@slider0083 my knowledge of and involvement in she ra starts and ends with me using catra as a voice claim for an oc
@@nickythehickey essentially there’s a character named “Frosta” so I misread the first word and that was enough haha
KREMY
Proposal to replace the sign for autism with this fella. All in favor?
If I had to rank best to least favorite Avantris characters, it would be:
1. Chuckles
2. Gricko
3. Gideon
4. Kremy
5. Frost
6. Skadoosh
7. Bitsy
8. Peggy
9. Booker
10. Pugsley
11. Alexander Hamiltoad
can you PLEASE do a Gideon one? I've always related with his gag of being accidentally too forceful and having to hide the regret via humor
fun fact, gideon is the one i probably relate to the least out of the main cast. a comp would probably focus on something other than relatable moments, or if you could say what in particular to look for i’ll see what i can do
@@nickythehickey Honestly you could just make a comp of Gideon and his conversations with Chuckles and that'd be funny asf too lol
I'm autistic and I just thought Frost was just a normalish smart guy. Oops
@@aspierematch3541 you’re still welcome to think that! you don’t have to think how i do
Yo dawg got any more pixels?
@@ccf_1004 no the program i downloaded the vods with took them
2:33 UA-cam censored ‘tart’ here
so it did. interesting
You should do a Skrimm from Icebound next 💕🎀😋
haven't started icebound yet
Thats a strange definition of “tart” I’m pretty sure it just means… “promiscuous woman”…
@@crazedcatlady867 from what i’ve found its been used both ways
@@nickythehickey Huh, I've never heard that before. The more you know. Maybe I'm just old 🤣
