the pain and agony of being a slow artist it’s like. i know statistically i’m the normal one here i know it’s like fine to work slower but like. i am so envious of people who can get into a That Character Mood and just pop out a nice looking quick one on a whim before the mood even dissipates. but like i have to conserve my energy for stuff that i have a deep and lasting motivation for
#cries.#peach rambles#don’t even get me started on the concept of consistency#yes yes i know consistency isn’t that important but also it’d make certain things a lot easier#when a good artist changes their style it’s done on purpose#when i change my style it’s bc i was *trying* to be consistent but failed at it#think of it like someone who doesn’t stand still.#the difference between someone who moves with grace and precision like an athlete or dancer#and someone who moves bc they’re trembling and shaking or need to stim or something#like i gotta be able to gain control of myself before i can begin to move myself effectively. but it’s not working#.

More Autistic Pony and Darry Headcanons
these took me a few days but here y’all go
*scatters headcanons likes they’re birdseed and runs away*
Pony has literally no sense of danger, bro ran into a burning church for christ sake he doesn’t understand danger at all. this scares the fuck out of Darry and Soda
Pony is a chewer, he has a chewy necklace that he uses when he’s at home but at school he literally devours the ends of pens like om nom nom
Pony is much more prone to meltdowns than Darry and he can get pretty aggressive during them. his stims when he’s upset are very self-injurious but if Darry or Soda did something to cause him to meltdown he will hit them
Darry was the kind of kid to heavily mask all day at school and break down as soon as he got home
he’s very routine oriented and if his schedule and routine get messed up then he doesn’t know how to cope
his meltdowns look a lot different than Pony’s. Pony’s are much more stereotypical autistic meltdowns but Darry’s are more yelling at people and stomping around. he’ll usually go off to his room alone and let himself cry and stim but he doesn’t let other people see him like that unless he’s so upset that he can’t hold it in
Pony had the worse sensory issues out of the two of them, he hates tags and seams but he especially hates long sleeves, this is why he cuts the sleeves off of all his hand me downs
he actually likes that most of his clothes are hand me downs because that means they’re already soft and broken in
Darry is the most literal thinker in the world, he can’t understand metaphors or analogies or sarcasm like at all, Pony doesn’t struggle with this as much though and it makes Darry lowkey upset
Pony has a really hard time with routine and time management. he needs to be guided through getting ready for school everyday or else he would just show up late and still in his pajamas
Pony has absolutely zero filter. he says every single thought he has out loud. his social skills are so unbelievably non existent. he really struggles with making friends and the only real actual friend he’s ever had is Johnny
Darry has always masked his autism a lot and he was actually pretty popular in school. if he wasn’t so handsome and athletic then his awkwardness probably wouldn’t have been as well received but since he was then people found his quirks charming and endearing
Pony is very particular about food, he likes to eat the same exact things every day and he’d rather starve than try something new
Darry definitely has alexythmia, he has no clue how he’s feeling ever and emotions make no sense to him
Pony and Darry were diagnosed in the same year, pony was 2 and darry was 8. Pony’s pediatrician noticed signs in him early has referred him to a specialist to be diagnosed and after going through the diagnosis process with pony, the Curtis parents were like “wait, hold up a minute. this all sounds like it applies to Darry too.” so they had him assessed too.
after a meltdown, Pony just wants to be cuddled. he loves deep pressure so tight hugs and weighted blankets are his best friends. Soda is always his go to for a good bear hug, not just because he’s his brother but also because Soda is the master of hugs
Pony always has his headphones on, he’s usually listening to music but even when he’s not he doesn’t take them off
Soda is not the token neurotypical sibling though, he canonically had the most textbook case of ADHD that i’ve ever seen, argue with a wall
#most of these are based off of my own experiences#the outsiders#the outsiders broadway#the outsiders musical#the outsiders headcanons#ponyboy curtis#darry curtis#ponyboy curtis headcanons#darry curtis headcanons#sodapop curtis#autistic darry#autistic ponyboy

George Mukherjee headcanons?
Hello anon these were so fun!!! Hope they're ok <3
- gets travelsick quite a bit
- Daisy will try to call shotgun and Alex is immediately all "no George needs to be in the frontseat trust me"
- has a special interest in beetles!!! And also unsolved mysteries
- has 2 pet beetles at home called Mary and Celeste (please say someone gets their names)
- this has in no way helped Harold's fear of bugs
- it's the one thing he'll actually be distracted by
- ("🫡🤨🤔 so then she went left down the stairs and..."
"And? Earth to George?"
"Sorry, there was a ladybird on your shoulder ☺️🥰😄"
- has monogrammed pyjamas. Yes exactly like the ones you're imagining all silky and with G.M over the breast pocket
- has to bring a pillow from home to sleep with at Weston otherwise he can tell it's Not The Right Pillow
- has OCD. Harold is always checking up on him
- multitalented king fr:
- on the athletics team and surprisingly good at cartwheels and all that gym stuff
- in the school band and plays the trumpet
- (some uncle who wanted to piss off George's parents got him one when he was like 3 and George hasn't looked back)
- President of Weston's pet club Yr 7 - Yr 8 until he broke out the snakes and took them home with him after he claimed neglect by the teachers
- says he likes hot chocolate but actually likes hot milk with the absolute briefest sprinkling of cocoa powder
- a romantic!!! (scrawled in the back of a Yr 8 maths book is 'George Arcady' and 'G.M + A.A forever')
- sends flowers to all his friends on Valentines Day
- used to be the sole member of the Junior Pinkertons, except when it was only George he simply called himself P.I Mukherjee
- his brain goes too fast for his hand, so he struggles with writing a lot
- (this made the P.I Mukherjee years quite hard)
- shit at temperature regulation (autism's fault) so levels of permissible touch can vary
- liable to kill if he gets too hot
- on the other hand, very very very affectionate when it gets cold
- ("George, just a guess here, thinking out loud really, but are you cold?"
*Sitting on the sofa cuddling Alex, practically in his lap*
"I might be.")
- if he gets a question right he stims by shaking his head happily
- Daisy and Hazel were wildly confused why George was verbally agreeing with them but his body language was saying otherwise until he explained it to them
- shower hog, loves the hot water
- eyes Daisy suspiciously everytime she's in his room (he's seen the way she treats her things, especially books)
- steals all Harold's books from him while he's at uni
- second shortest of the detective gang, after Hazel
- excellent at cooking but awful at baking
- will make a beautiful and delicious meal and then try to make something as simple as cupcakes and set the kitchen on fire
- drama is his favourite subject. He's about average at it, but has the confidence for the stage and is good at projecting his voice
- never uses emojis, only colons and various letters like this :D :O :(
- can and will do everyone's hair (i.e plaiting Hazel's, giving Alex's a simple brush and maybe a bow, making sure Daisy's curls don't get knotted)
- wants to be a parent

Jackie first met you when she rushed into the college athletic trainers office to grab ice for her teammate, who didn’t get her hands up in time and took a soccer ball straight to the head. Being a Freshman, she wasn’t the most acquainted with being in that office or who the trainers were, but when she saw you she knew she had to make FREQUENT stops in. She stood there stuttering for a moment while looking at you, before she found her words and just shouted, “ICE!?” With some haste you went to the ice machine and grabbed her a bag, filling it and handing it to the girl, who responds even less gracefully with “Thanks, her face needs this!” Before running back to the field, hitting herself the entire way for not being smoother but at least she had a plan in mind.
She made herself a patient at the office very often, looking up every possible injury she could fake, that would land her in just enough ‘pain’ to get you to help her roll out or give her a muscle massage, WITHOUT ending up with someone calling an ambulance for her. And she ended up back in the office today, with her most flattering biker shorts and a ‘pulled hamstring’ that she just absolutely NEEDED your help with. However, catching you, in the empty room, while you were doing a workout of your own had unexpected consequences, Jackie had found.
After having you do all the ‘hands on’ work you normally do, you start to question why Jackie isn’t as talkative today, as she crosses and uncrosses her legs while sitting in the chair getting ready for her ice and stim. “Jackie, what’s up with you today, you’re super quiet?” you ask as you put the pads on her thigh, she has to suppress a whimper as her mind flashes with images of how you looked bench pressing, when she walked in earlier. “No reason.” She forces out through gritted teeth as she presses her thighs together. It was only then, while your hands were on the exposed skin of her thighs, that you noticed the wet mark, now present on Jackie’s shorts. Now all the instances of her asking you to lift her onto the table because her “knee hurt her far too much” for her to try herself or her flirting with you as you held her legs to roll them out, made a lot of sense.
no because jackie falling in love at first sight will never not be canon to me. i just know that she was considering keeping the bag of ice and was low key possessive of it when she had to give it to her team mate because you gave it to her. 100% considered grabbing the bag after the other girl was done with it because it was a gift. shes such a loser (affectionate)
jackie berating herself the whole way back for having the least smooth first meeting ever. she spends the entire walk back thinking about all the things she should have said instead. convinced she'd make a note on her phone full of flirty lines that she looks at right before she stops back in the office, but her mind goes blank every single time. she goes back into her room and screams into her pillow so often that her room mate is getting concerned about her lmao
jackie ignoring your advice about possibly getting inserts for her shoes because obviously somethings wrong if she keeps 'twisting' her ankle like this all the time. she's all "mhm, totally. 😍"
jackie showing up in her most flattering outfit, a face full of makeup, her best smelling perfume, and her hair freshly washed and styled.
jackie bites her lip so hard she nearly draws blood trying not to whine and moan while you touch her i just know it. you're giving her a massage and your thumb presses in just the right way and jackie gasps as she grabs at your wrist. she keeps glancing back and forth between your face and your hand and flushes bright red as she stutters out an apology. you're thinking you hurt her so you're like "was that too rough?" and her mind has gone straight to the gutter. she's done for, truly.
thinking about the absolutely mortified look on jackie's face when you catch sight of how wet she is. she's so embarrassed she can't even speak, eyes shut tightly so she doesn't have to see the look on your face.
you pause at the sight, considering her for a moment as your world view flips. yeah, you can work with this. you don't say anything at first, but you do make sure to spend extra time carefully applying the electrodes. you have to make sure the adhesive sticks, don't you? maybe you spend more time than you need to rubbing your thumb across the edges, but that's your business.
jackie's more than a little humiliated by the time she can leave, but she knows from the the smug look on your face that she'd come crawling right back if she had to. as she finally gets to the sanctuary that is her empty dorm room she glances down at the instructions you gave her to find your phone number written down at the bottom. she had something she desperately needed to take care of now that her dorm room would be empty for a few hours, but after that she'd definitely move to phase 2 in her seduction plan (she thinks she was sooo subtle about it lmaoo)

Maximo "Lucky" Jonronero is extremely ADHD coded. in this essay i will
edit: someone asked for the essay, and since im not just about to sleep now, I can be coherent. lets start with the most damning evidence:
1. What he says to Miner during 5-X
Lucky: "I know...it's just... I was never much of anyone as a kid. Bad grades, couldn't ever focus, mom and dad yellin' at me... But on the field, everything was different. Without baseball...I feel like I'll just be that useless kid again."
this is, easily, already a common story among athletes with ADHD! not only that, but if he had no access to the right medication- and since i don't think he knows, he doesn't- it would be extremely hard to do schoolwork, much less homework, paired with all that pressure.
this also means, of course, his mom and dad likely also have undiagnosed ADHD, and possibly are projecting onto him! so yeah parent issues
2. His mannerisms at the start
at first this doesnt seem like that damning of evidence, but as a person with ADHD, his remarks resemble me. a lot.
one effect of having ADHD is this little bitch called emotional dysregulation, in which you can't- not "it's hard to", you can't- control your emotions to a degree, and they tend to get out of hand. from personal experience, it sucks ass, and especially if you dont know what it is, you get mad at your emotions for making you look like a child.
Lucky is mad. a lot. he also seems to bottle up as much as he can, a common pattern with myself. he also seems to understand that his overreactions are stupid, but he really just can't stop himself- if this is a pattern, it partially explains why he had a quicker turnaround than most would think to apologize to Paige. he KNOWS his constant anger is fucking dumb, but he can't stop it. he literally, biologically, has no power to stop it, as a person with adhd off meds.
3. The way he acts, in general
he gets distracted halfway through conversations. this also parallels with just how fast he was able to zone out in 5-3. this isn't very hard evidence, but it further perpetuates the "lack of focus" bit, which is also something he hates about himself! without knowing he has ADHD, that's not an uncommon jump of emotions
he doesn't seem to have any other interest than playing baseball at the moment (though it doesnt seem like that was always the case), but even then it seems to be dwindling out despite his best attempts (a common pattern with hyperfixations). he also seems to immediately latch onto coaching!
he moves around, a lot. we don't see him happy stim, but that jumping animation is likely an angry stim, which yes, also happens. he seems to hate staying still, which is emphasized by the fact that he needs to. for long periods of time. hence him sneaking out to the gym as much as he can. AND A GOOD ADD-ON BY @kittyfirest0rm - THE GUM. THE FUCKING GUM. HE CHEWS GUM WHILE PLAYING BASEBALL!!
he's quick to emphasize, when he's not angry. he's not very keen on some social cues, but he definitely seems to get emotions. in 5-3 he's probably surprised at Miner's easy admitting that he was injured and would stay willingly, but he also seems to get it when Miner talks about overworking himself and his emotions. (he zones out though during the explanations. classic.)
there's more i could add, but the post is getting long, so here come get your juice lol

HI! Here to beg u for Steven adhd headcanons
Pls i promise i'll be good this year.
oh my goodness … so um this is something i am like way too passionate about !! im going to seem like the craziest crazy person EVER by sharing this cuz i wrote .… a lot but u guys gotta stick with me okay you’ll see the vision
THANK YOU for asking this btw ! this is one of the things that makes me relate to steven the most ,,>_<,, and i will literally talk abt it anytime
☆ steven adhd hc’s / reasons why i think it’s possible he has adhd ! ☆ ( coming from someone who has a severe combined type adhd diagnosis )
please note this is all just speculation !! i’ve noticed some connections between his behavior / things he’s spoken about and adhd symptoms , but i am certainly no doctor and the only one who can truly determine any of this is steven himself . these observations are mostly just for my comfort as a neurodivergent person :)
ohhh stevie is a BIG stimmer :) he taps on everything in sight , he also hums a lot and likes to move his body ! bouncing , jumping , flapping , shaking , jiggling , playing with his hair ( i have video evidence sue me >:( )
people often describe him as “twitchy” , randomly making odd movements or sounds that can surprise and confuse those around him
vocal stims , dude . like my man is a parrot he’ll repeat random phrases over and over without thinking about it , just going about his day mumbling the most obscure sentences without even realizing
i’ve also noticed from watching videos he has a big BIG tendency to repeat things other people say !! i think that’s a combo of vocal stimming and also struggling to fit in when making conversation
he has literally confessed to having sensory issues related to taste and texture ??!?!? so i imagine he has them with other things too it’s mostly touch or sound related things that really get to him and can cause overwhelm but honestly anything that catches him at the right time will have him retreating inside himself and blocking everything out , unable to respond cuz he can’t think or listen
also seems to struggle with clothes touching his body ! he is always in loose tank tops and wears a lot of cropped pants / shorts , and has never really worn a lot of accessories unlike his bandmates . this could definitely be attributed to sensory issues , especially hating the feeling of wearing jewelry ( rings especially ) and also makeup on his face
drums !!! poppy loves drumming , it is SUCH a good stimulant for his brain cuz it works muscle memory , gives a dopamine rush , and combines both creative thought with an athletic activity
hyperfixations oh my god he is so bad . so so bad . he’ll pick up something for like a few weeks and dedicate EVERYTHING to it just to never pick it up again
very typical hyperactive type adhd , trouble focusing and sitting still OH MY GOD this man cannot sit normally for the life of him
um hyperfocus also !! drums is prolly his biggest one but if it’s something he’s super tuned into he can just . sit there and mindlessly work on it for HOURS before someone notices and is like hello take a break ??
didn’t like school cuz he always felt like he wasn’t smart , he was actually really interested by some subjects but just couldn’t keep up as a student :/ he also started getting into skating and music which were much better dopamine activities than school so he kinda just . quit ?
part of why his mom kicked him out so young , he was impulsive and reckless and very VERY high energy , easily irritated and his emotions had no filter / couldn’t control them or his actions based on them
this poor kid is so forgetful . he really cannot remember shit and it gets him in trouble a lot ! he’s gotta be reminded by the guys about EVERYTHING and it annoys them to no end , and steven always feels bad cause he wishes he could remember , but for some reason he forgets every time !
it’s where his irritability comes from too , he sometimes flips like a switch and can get really defensive and aggressive . he’ll lash out and turn really angry — not in a super serious way , but it’s the reason he gets in so many little fights with all the other guys , especially axl .
this is also tied in with the rlly strong sense of justice that neurodivergent people feel !! the reason he’d stand up and talk back when everyone else could just let it go
easier to fall into addiction and harder to get out of it . places a vice on his brain , trapping him in dependency on the drugs and making it so much more difficult to quit — why it took him so much longer to get sober than any of the others , even after all his health scares
drugs are also a coping mechanism for sensory issues and that awful , isolating feeling of being built just slightly different than everyone else
UM ???? LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT STEVEN POST GNR + LEAVING THE BAND IS JUST SCREAMING RSD ??? like the abandonment issues built up from his childhood ON TOP of being insanely sensitive to disappointing others / feeling unwanted ?? yeah i fucking understand why he couldn’t let go of it for almost twenty years of his life that’s like the worst possible thing to go through as someone hypersensitive to feelings of rejection bro . oh my god .
rsd also attributes to him being really eager to please especially with friends , and trying to talk himself up and seem cool and on their level and worth keeping around :(
i do also think it is likely that he learned to mask a LOT of his symptoms , of course not all of them ( as we can pretty obviously see in like . any video ever taken of him ) but a lot of the less socially acceptable ones he naturally forced himself to hide :(
#thanks for listening to my yapping#i am begging this man to take the brown scales test he would be off the charts#steven adler#saz speaks#saz requests !#guns n roses#gnr#steven gnr#steven adler adhd#guns n roses headcannons#steven adler imagine#adhd#neurodivergent

Chat I need guidance
people (including my dad and autistic friends) keep saying I'm autistic but I'm SUPER unwilling to say that I think there's even a chance that I am because of how shunned self diagnosis is (at least from what I've seen)
So I want y'all to read this list and tell me if you think I might be autistic
Tagging for y'alls opinions /nf: @voxxxlol @millyzasilly @boingzilly
Absolute yapper
I walk on my toes
I have maladaptive daydreaming
I get really mad very easily
It makes feel a sense of defeat when I apologize
I'm fairly selfish
My music NEEDS to be super high or else it makes me physically uncomfortable
I can't be touched on the shoulders
I HAVE to where my socks inside out because of the seams
All my shirts have to be that cold mesh/athletic because I hate the feeling of the normal fabric
I'm impulsive and say whatever comes to mind even when people aren't done talking
I'm not super smart, but definitely above grade level
Sometimes if I hear an unpleasant noise (nails on a chalkboard, stirring Mac n cheese, ect) I feel the need to touch it to "fully stop it" even if it already stopped
I can't really empathize and don't usually feel bad for people that I don't know when they are in really bad situations, even if I want to
I find social interaction difficult
I can't do any math in my head, even simple addition/subtraction and yet still try
I get very socially anxious and dread almost every conversation I know that I'll have
I do stim sometimes but it's not major
I almost never do eye contact
I never focus
I prefer to stay quiet and be on my own
I hyperfixate like there is no tomorrow
I'm LGBTQ
I'm Alterhuman
I'm aldernic
I'm a weird art kid that had an animation phase from 2016-2022 and still rewatches them
I have shitty memory
I watch things over and over
I get upset when anyone talks about a special interest because I want to (Even if there talking about my special interest as well)
And I often get derailed very quickly in conversation
#am i autistic?#I genuinely am so scared of self-diagnosis because I know people will automatically see it as a red flag#I won't tell anyone that people think I might be until I talk to a phycologist#But it's on my mom's insurance and she said she would get me in before last summer even started so it's probably not gonna happen

Random Mach Headcanons
She is either somewhere in her mid-20s or is like... 1000 but looks younger, you never know honestly
She definitely has an athletic build, you cannot convince me she doesn't have at least some muscle on her body
She most likely has a more deeper voice, quiet, but deep.
I like to think she is on the spectrum (The autism spectrum or the AroAce spectrum?... BOTH!)
She likes to spin her hammer or kick her feet as a form of stimming (Or just because she wants to)
RBF, she totally has RBF
She has slight empathy issues, she isn't 100% apathetic and doesn't care about other people's feelings, she just sometimes says things and doesn't realize how it may hurt them until she takes more time to think about it.
She also probably has a slight staring problem, she will sometimes just zone out when she looks in a specific direction (even if that means she is staring right into her soul)
Adding on to that, she likes to maintain eye contact (though she will try not to if she knows you don't like it, like with Pilby for example)
If she wasn't in a Roblox game, she would definitely curse someone out if they made her mad enough, but you have to make her infuriated (but not enough for her to just insta-kill you)
However, she does have a lot of control over her emotions (she in fact, has no control over her emotions, she just bottles them all up because that was how she was raised and she never had the chance to unlearn that trait.)
She will either be very late, or super early. There is no in-between. She will never come on time unless someone else (whose sense of time isn't warped) drags her there.
She can be bribed (from personal experience)
She is morally gray, but it's like a very light gray.
Her favorite color is either red, purple, or blue (I haven't decided yet)
The closest she will get to being in a romantic relationship is if she involved herself in a QPR
She actually loves flowers a lot, she even has her own garden filled with plants she found from her many expeditions around the universe.

ways in which Ash Fox reminds me of my own autistic experience:
He dives so deeply into his interest in a comic superhero that he constantly wears a costume for it. His homemade costume of white pajamas, a cape, and pants tucked into the socks is specifically emulating his favorite character (who we see is on the comic book he reads in the film).
I deduce from him wearing the same clothes all the time that he has sensory issues with clothes. The only other time we see him wearing a different outfit is when he’s wearing briefs to go swimming.
He is hung up on one thing throughout the entire film: that he’s an athlete. He’s constantly trying to prove himself to his family, especially his dad who was/is athletic. Getting fixated on that reminds me of myself throughout middle and high school; I was always trying to improve myself and make other people respect me. He’s so set on it that the direct and indirect cues from others about how he’s not athletic don’t deter him. He lies about Kristofferson’s trophy, saying it’s his, because he wants to be seen as an athlete. Also he runs in front of a whole crowd of people shooting at them to prove he can be athletic to save their lives.
Just the fact that he’s uncoordinated and awkward. His PE coach tries to indirectly tell him he’s not good at sports. His father calls him uncoordinated. He has trouble following Kristofferson’s directions to chop the lock off of the crate.
He desperately wants a bandit hat. It reminds me of my fixation on objects. Especially when I was around Ash’s age, I would get fixated on obtaining certain objects, like knapsacks or capes or binoculars.
He often says things in such a blunt and grumpy way that it upsets other people, or at least surprises them.
Continuing on from the last point, he is pissed about the new changes that are happening around him. He doesn’t like that he has to share a room with Kristofferson, even though his cousin is amiable (and Ash still gets to sleep in his own bed!). He doesn’t like the shift in atmosphere around his parents. He gets snippy when Kristofferson starts getting to know Agnes at school (a girl who Ash either likes romantically or considers to be his friend).
Sometimes he doesn’t respond to people with words, but instead does this little sequence of shaking his ear and spitting. He does this the exact same way several times in the film to express annoyance. I take it to mean he’s so overwhelmingly annoyed that he doesn’t want to or can’t speak, so he does this little stimming thing.
#AND felicity fox!!#again take this with a grain of salt#I'm just relating to a character from a movie I love#I'm not saying he IS autistic - I'm just saying I relate to him a lot as an autistic person#fantastic mr fox#movies#nini autism tag#fantastic mr. fox#ash fox#wes anderson
