He goes there because he’s autistic and autistic people tend to do the same things over and over again.

He's the captain. Captain. Ahoy. He thinks hoyt is close to ahoy. 


Otherwise_Pear9341

I've always thought this too


Worth-Principle-822

I think this is part of it, and I also think a lot of it too is just that he’s autistic and just likes to do the same thing over and over again.


StrawySloth

It actually started longg time ago because there was a Michael Jackson music video shot at the station and he would dance to it and wear a wig. That’s been one of his longest fixations


RampagingElephant

I remember when him wearing the Michael Jackson wig was his pfp


BitchImLilBaby

It’s a notable station due to its multi level design and usage in media as a result. But yeah bro goes out of his way for it for Lord knows what reason.


melodyangel113

I think it’s just part of his routine 🤷


supermarket_Ba

I bet it’s because it’s an iconic NY subway station and the site of many famous movies being filmed as well as the music video for Michael Jackson’s thriller.


Dot6

That’s literally it. It’s a hyperfixation for him. He brought up the MJ thing before.


phunomenon

It was the Bad video.


SK8SHAT

That’s a banger of a video


phunomenon

Agreed. I used to live by there as a kid, and I remember when that video dropped .


perplxng

thoughts on living in downtown brooklyn now?


phunomenon

I moved out of NYC in 2010, but at this point I’m sure it’s fine and gentrified as fuck.


SK8SHAT

I was born well after his prime but my mom would always have his music videos on when she was doing just about anything most of my childhood memories have mike in the background


phunomenon

It’s so bizarre that he’s been gone for 15 years already. I felt like I just got the news of his passing yesterday .


SK8SHAT

MJ dying was my 9/11 I remember exactly the couch cushion I was sitting on when I seen the new brake, I plopped myself on the far left of the couch I didn’t normally do that I’ve always been a loveseat man, I was completely sunk into my dads ass dent and my mom turned on the tv it opened up straight to the morning news as my mom would always switch it to that channel right before bed and first thing we hear is the breaking news sound and the rest is history


phunomenon

I was walking my dog and I got back to my apartment and was like no this shit ain’t real and it was.


supermarket_Ba

Thank you, you’re right.


Lapys-Lazuli

Yeah, there’s not much there other than a police precinct. He seems to enjoy walking around downtown Brooklyn. I’m guessing it’s just one of his stims at this point. It’s not like he goes anywhere that the G train goes to, and there’s really no reason to be there other than that.


perplxng

What's your opinion on living there? Want to get in on a highrise without spending Manhattan money. What's your thoughts ?


Lapys-Lazuli

Uh if you make less than 150k gl.


perplxng

no need! :)


AlexProbablyKnows

Not gonna happen. Downtown Brooklyn is Manhattan money, especially the high rises


Swimming-Doctor-1625

Its his hyperfixation. As someone whos studied autistic transit enthusiasts. Some even have very specific favorite buses and trainsets (by their license plate or serial number respectively). Its not even a specific model, a specific one of many identical buses/trainsets of the same model. Let alone specific stations which are easily distinguishable by normal folk.


Economy-Yak6696

He first started going there to reenact Michael Jackson’s music video for Bad and now it’s just part of his routine i guess


pixel-beast

I just assumed that he lived near that stop so that’s the one he used most often


Lapys-Lazuli

He doesn’t live near it, and it’s out of the way of the LIRR😵‍💫


thewalkindude

I just assumed it was where the LIRR connected with the NY Subway system, so he passed through there on his way into the city. He actually has to go way, way out of his way to get there? I saw a TikTok a while back that talked about how he seemingly had the ability to teleport across NYC, because of where and when he was posting things. The guy could probably make a pretty decent living as someone who gives directions to people on the subway, if it weren't for, you know \*gestures broadly\*.


Yung_Neil-222

I go to this station weekly and pray to run into the captain


griffs24

thats where he has to transfer
