Simply put, when I first saw the SCP thread on this site and it displayed SCP-999's entry, I read about him and I just thought, you know, this little guy would be a great representation of an "Asperger's" temperament.
I just thought that connection fit so well because most people with ASD like myself like to display "loveable" traits, and that's when I had an idea; take SCP-999, make a "clone" of him and speak through his imagery, keeping the temperament as part of his intelligence base, and what better way to make him memorable than by giving him an easy to remember name, like "Bubby"? I just looked at him and thought, "maybe if he was happy enough he'd start making bubbles" but "Bubbly" didn't quite roll off the tongue.
I like to think of Bubby as the "spirit" of the Spectrum itself, at first I thought he could pose as sort of a mascot to this website, but I don't think that's my decision to make, so Bubby is more of a representation than anything else.
The love of candy, the constantly chipper attitude, the desire to make anyone and everyone feel better, it just all goes together so well.
Also, the Bubby you see in my profile pic is not my drawing, it's someone else's fanart, I just grabbed it and stuck with it.
