If you've watched the new Aqua Pups episode, you know about Moby, the villain of the series. He's portrayed as a merpup who hates singing and dancing and gets mad when no one obeys him.
I have an observation I've made based on my experiences as an autistic person (and my brother's) and I've decided that Moby could be autistic.
Reason 1-- Overstimulation
Moby has noise cancelling headphones to get rid of the sound of the merpups singing. And the singing does seem really, really loud. So, there's a chance Moby could have been overstimulated by the noise, and has a pair of noise cancelling headphones to ease it.
Reason 2-- Special Interests
Moby seems to have a special interest in technology and possibly squids. He is shown to be fairly happy while doing things related to these interests.
Reason 3-- Nonverbal Moments
I get that this one is a bit of a stretch, because all merpup-borns cannot talk. However, I like to think that he does not feel comfortable speaking in puplantis.
Idk what this is called lol
Moby expects everything to go the way he wants it to, and gets mad when it doesn't. This is a very common thing autistic people do, but can happen with different emotions too
There is a noticeable amount of gesture based dog magic in PAW Patrol
S2E13 Pups Save a Mer-Pup: It is shown that when a natural merpup touches noses with a land dog under the light of the mysterious magic mer-moon that dog will become a merpup as long as the moon is up.
S6E21 Mighty Pups, Charged Up: Pups vs. the Copycat: Years later it is revealed that when two dogs empowered by the mighty meteor touch their paw-pads together they will be "charged up" and gain new powers. Note that only the mighty pups are ever seen performing this move so it is unknown what the effects will be if anything else tries it.
S9E14 Aqua Pups Save a Floating Castle: This is what made me believe there is a pattern going on. When a land pup (even when transformed into a merpup) bumps paws with a merpup that merpup will transform into a land pup and will only transform back if another merpup touches noses with them. The merpup will still be able to talk in other languages forever.
Thinking of merman Bakugou holding reader under the arms like a cat and merman Kirishima is freaking out cause he can't just steal people and Bakugou doesn't care cause this is his wife now, obviously
Mermommy Val being designated a pup drop off spot - Nico, Seb and Dan know they can leave their babies with Val and their babies will still be there when they come back. It's the power of the mermoomin squish.
Sometimes Seb even drops off Toto if he wants to make sure he can find him later haha
Oh plss! All pups and gups being dropped with mermoomin Val who is so excited he gets to snuggle babies!
Val will just watch the pups and gups so close, taking the gups swimming while rhe pups are safely in his arms in the water! Henwont lose them!
And aksks toto being dropped off and moomin daycare lolol! Val will still tak4 it seriously, getting grumpy when Toto tries to leave! He totally will put little pupgup Charles, who toto sired, in his arms lol! Then toto can't go!

It's hard to say. I was just rlly drawn to him. His design is so cute, and when you have such a prominent kid-figure in a series it's hard to not get attached. I think his relationship with Jolyne is also something that made me decide to f/o him because I'm like "damn. I wish I could coddle that kid"
-My favorite thing about them
His design is so cute!! Where did you get that outfit boy!! I also love his dub actor choice. I love Casey Mongillo and I think they did wonderful for him!
-Nicknames we have for each other
He'll always be my little sunshine boy. My sweet cheese. My little guy. My sunny d. Emporio doesn't rlly feel like someone who'd use nicknames but I hope in time he'd call me/Jay Kay mom :')
-A headcanon of our relationship/friendship
He always wants stories before bed. Lucky him, Jay Kay is great at coming up with crazy off the wall stuff to always keep him entertained. She has to lay off the pirate plots though. Jay also lets him use London Calling as a swing sometimes.
-My favorite image of them
I'll give you two!!
He's so happy!!! Ily bb!!!
SO TINY!!! Look at him posing w his old man
-Anything else!
I LOVE MY SON SO MUCH!!! I have an au for him and Jay, where she's a pirate captain and he's just a merpup she finds in a sunken chest, so she and her crew decide to take care of him <<33 I think in this one he'd be a lemon shark mer!
