#adhd regulus black

[spiritstar477]

i headcannon that sirius is adhd on the hyperactive side and regulus is adhd on the quiet keeps to himself side but when they’re with their loves (james and remus respectively), finally feeling totally comfortable, they switch. sirius becomes calm and quiet and regulus won’t shut tf up and i love them for it

[drowning-poet]

Autistic Reggie is a very common hc, but dare i say adhd Regulus (innatentive type in specific!!)?

Regulus whose signs were not noticed because his brother's were louder.

Regulus who, since he was born, could not sleep, and when he'd ask professionals they'd brush him off.

Regulus who, in front of everyone is very put together and quiet, but when alone/when feeling safe won't shut up about his hyperfixation.

Regulus who, somehow, still manage to get high marks so no one bothered with the diagnosis.

Regulus who could not control his tone of voice, making him either speak in such a low tone no one would hear or too loud, or too slow, or too fast, or too cold, or too excited (he'd get in trouble with Walburga for it)

Regulus who had to write everything any teacher ever said so he wouldnt get distracted (he still got distracted, there were little notes with "check the book for this")

Trans Regulus whose symptoms were brushed off and hidden because he is afab.

Jegulus where James is autistic and loud in front of everyone and Regulus with ADHD is calm and collected, but they both switch when alone.

Regulus with emotional dysregulation (on top of trauma).

Regulus who keeps losing all his belonging and the only time anyone ever sees him crying is because he is frustrated and, yet again, lost a comfort item.

Regulus with poor spacial awareness.

Regulus who always felt misunderstood and would read just so he would feel accepted.

Regulus with time blindness (and executive dysfunction), making him mop in bed while reading a book for 3 hours, to gain energy to clean his room (which only took 15 minutes).

Regulus who only works if everything is tidy but who has the hardest of times to keep it like that.

Regulus who needs a routine but can never have one.

Regulus who only got diagnosed when he got out.

Regulus who stims by bitting his lips, so his lips are always full of wounds.

Regulus who heavily masks so no one would guess he has adhd.

James Potter getting bored in a quidditch match whilst looking for the snitch deciding to fly round in loop de loops and Regulus panicking and yelling at him to stop in French.

The Marauders era characters as things people in my school said:

"You look like my grandma... and she's dead."- Evan Rosier to Regulus Black

"I've got that ipad kid mindset."- Barty Crouch Jr.

"Born to be a whore, forced to be in a committed relationship."- Sirius Black

"It's just a Nazi egg hatching."- Lily Evans about students with dark marks

"Eat the British."- Remus Lupin, my lovely Welsh representative

"Very much gag but not in a slay way."- Marlene Mckinnon

"So you have dysfunctions? Great, me too."- James Potter, the ADHD king

[moonagedaydreamsofrhiannon]

The true soulmates of the marauders era, more than Wolfstar, more than Jily, more than any romantic ship you can think of, are Sirius Black and James Potter.

James and Lily are canon soulmates, and Wolfstar is the favorite ship of the fandom, yet there are still fics where they aren’t together. But across every fic, every headcanon, every alternate universe, every lifetime, James and Sirius are always best friends.

They are the only true twin flames. There is no universe where they don’t find each other, and love each other. There is no James without Sirius, and no Sirius without James; one cannot exist without the other. Even if one of them dies, they are still together because they are so deeply tied up in each other’s identity. Without one another they’re just two halves of a broken locket, or an unfinished puzzle, missing the one vital piece that makes them a whole. Whether they’re depicted as best friends, brothers, or even lovers, there is no universe where they aren’t fundamentally linked.

[arcturism]

We don’t talk enough about autistic Regulus and his social anxiety, his hatred of change, his tendency to be always very methodical and tidy while avoiding attentions and blending in with the room; Sirius has always been his focal point, the only one who could calm him down after a meltdown, until James came.

Lovely James, with adhd and an attention span almost non existent, and yet who can only focus on Regulus when he is in the room, making him feel seen and heard in such a sweet and gentle way that Regulus could do nothing but making him the second sun of his own personal solar system.

James: What do you think would happen if you peed on a jellyfish?

Regulus: *bangs head violently against table*

[plumbprincess]

I'm not joking, I have like 30 tabs open with unread fanfics (I leave them open so I won't forget they exist) and I have no idea which one to read. I'm this close 👌 to getting overwhelmed and just reading one of my comfort fics and leaving the choosing a new one for future me. I hate living in my brain.

[starsandmoonys]

James: You're on thin ice.

Regulus: I'm on the floor.

James: It's a metaphor.

Regulus: It's a carpet.

[imheredisappointingmyparents]

Imagine Regulus was diagnosed as a kid with autism and he understands neurodivergency very well. Imagine James trying to figure out what is wrong with him for years. And imagine Regulus helping him realise he has ADHD and get diagnosis and ADHD pills after they get together. Now James is not only happy because he is in love but also because he doesn't feel broken anymore.

[thebibutterflyao3]

James: I am completely FINE.

Regulus: Oh? How many cups do you have on your desk right now?

James: That is not—

Regulus: I cleared it last night.

James: I was thirsty! And I forgot about the other ones…

Regulus: More than three?

James: …

Regulus: More than five?

James: …

Regulus: James…it’s 9am.

James: Hold on, I’m counting!

Regulus: Right. Turn off the screens, step outside, and breathe. I’m coming home.

[star-liit]

Regulus I write down my brother's appointments because god knows he won't remember them Black Sirius I dilute my mother's perfume because the smell overwhelms my brother Black Regulus I pretend I want to hold my brother's hand because he's too proud to admit he can't stop fidgeting Black Sirius I coach my brother to recognise social cues Black Regulus I learned through painstaking observation that my hypocrite brother lacks tact Black Sirius I sleep in t-shirts because my brother overheats in his long sleeves at night and gets overstimulated by sudden temperature changes Black Regulus I learned not to take offence to being interrupted mid-sentence at a very young age for some reason Black Sirius I wear the same jacket even in the height of summer because my brother likes the texture Black Regulus I proofread my brother's homework for careless errors and resent the fact he can knock out a brilliant essay without a lick of formal research Black Sirius I can't stick to a schedule to save my life, but I know exactly what time my brother will want an excuse to leave the dinner table to start his night routine Black Regulus I got really good at patching up minor wounds as a child because my brother took approximately eight stupid risks a day Black Sirius I have to remind my brother to take regular study breaks or he'll sit in the same position for six hours and whine about his neck hurting later Black Regulus I once had to start over five times when I tried to draw my brother as an adult because he couldn't decide what he wanted to be when he grew up Black Sirius my brother is neurodivergent, is that coming across Black Regulus and what the fuck are you Black Sirius I kept my brother's room organised exactly as he liked it long after he died because I know how much it mattered to him Black

[xkittyxkattzx]

the lack of James angst in this fandom make me cry

pls i Need more of my baby being sad and mentaly ill😕

if you have any fics plss<33

[maladaptivewriting]

i don’t “kin” marauders characters. i assign each of them to one of my mental illnesses and let them personify that illness, interact with the other illnesses, and potentially fall in love with the other illnesses so that one day i might learn to love myself
