#he’s just Like That

[frownyalfred]

the most canny DC characters are the ones who can look at one (1) Bruce Wayne and immediately say, with great certainty, there’s something wrong with that man that goes back at least several generations.

Constantly plagued with thoughts of Edwin now knowing he enjoys being courted and Charles (compulsive charmer) with a whole new arsenal up his sleeve (laser focus on Monty’s whole deal)

“I mean, my smile is prett-y convincing” yeah yeah okay I can see where this is heading. Outlook not so good (for me)

Maul seeing kenobi on the news just randomly: *goes EKEKEKEK like a cat seeing a bird*

Savage: sometimes I worry brother

(This isn’t a zabrak instinct btw)

I don’t think Ik was thrown out of the car for being gay. I think his dad found a human bones collection or smth in the basement and decided enough was enough

Gregory and Vanessa are both the kind of people to sacrifice themself for each other tbh

3 star fam contemplating how to trap the Mimic and Vanessa is about to offer to lure him in, when Gregory suddenly runs off and quickly returns with the Mimic chasing him like a wild animal and Vanessa and Freddy are like “GREGORY WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING????”

Ryan having to apologize on behalf of Shane during ghost hunting investigations is so funny to imagine. He’s a menace.

I think I keep reblogging posts with mob and teru and after I’ll go “wait that was a terumob post” and I do it not because I ship them but because I keep accidentally viewing it through My Preferred Lens on their dynamic and not the one that is obviously being portrayed. I am a Teru-unrequited-crush-who-has-to get-over-it guy

Are they gay and in love or Does one have an unhealthy attachment to an ideal of the other person rather than the person themselves and does the other person literally barely think about them at all outside of the times they (usually coincidentally) meet. No both can’t be true to me I’m sorry. They just have mob and tsubomi’s dynamic x2 but with more time spent around each other

Pick your poison though. “Teru doesn’t know he is gay and in love (unhealthily) and thinks this is just what Meaningful Friendships are about” and “Teru knows and thinks all his interactions with Mob are romantically charged on both ends, they just haven’t said anything about it yet”

And for both Mob is like “Teru? He’s a nice friend. I wonder what he’s been up to we haven’t talked in a while”

having Batman as your dad is so cool (training, adventure, being treated like an equal) but people also forget that Batman is Bruce without the cowl, and Bruce is the kind of asshole who’ll watch you faceplant after a missed flip and go “hn….suboptimal.”

If regulus took the skittles ice skating Evan and pandora would get the hang of it right away and would skate peacefully with reg, Dorcas would swear multiple times at her skates and then give up trying and Barty slips so much that he might have frostbite on his ass but gets the hang of it 30 minutes before they leave the rink

Most Fandoms: hyper focusing on one minor aspect of the character and amplifying it in fannon

Starsky and Hutch fandom: Has a character with a weird plant obsession that nobody acknowledges in fannon (the character is Hutch)

Bakugou: Ah, ready for another fantastic day of being better than Deku.

I’ve mentioned before I hc Stretch as not really being into pranks all that much. But what he will do is increasingly strange, inexplicable things mostly only he finds funny. Putting something where it doesn’t belong (extreme edition). Making very, hyperspecific tools for something it’s likely easier to do without them and installing them in other peoples houses. Making custom shirts/clothes that border on or are just completely incomprehensible. Turning the entirety of the inside of their house into a haunted house (nowhere near Halloween) or a person sized “hamster cage” complete with huge plastic tubes, or similar “renovations” (though the outside remains unchanged).

And it’s important to note no one ever sees the build up to these things. They just…appear, one day. And everyone is certain he’s doing it alone but have no idea how. Well, at least the more extreme things, the mundane ones are easier to believe

I’ve seen a lot of fics n headcanons where Dick Grayson has adhd, and I see you. But also. Consider: Tim Drake having (undiagnosed) adhd. As a certified adhd bitch myself, I have A Lot to say about this, so more under the cut.

Before we get into it, just a quick disclaimer: pretty much all of my dc knowledge is from fandom osmosis, so. If you see something that’s ooc or contradicts canon no you didn’t. Now with that out of the way, on to the main event!

Okay, so! First of all, let’s start at the very beginning. That’s right, I’m talking about Tim Drake’s “night photography”! Now I’m not gonna say neurotypical kids don’t get up to some dumb ass shit when left unsupervised for long periods of time, because they absolutely do. But. The complete disregard for the many, many dangers a young child alone in Gotham at night would face is still notable. And he doesn’t just ignore danger - he runs straight at it. That shows an impressive lack of impulse control, and inability to factor future consequences into current decisions, both of which are hallmarks of adhd. Plus, hyperfixation kinda… changes? How you perceive things. So if Tim was hyperfixated on getting the perfect shot whenever a major crime/fight happened near him, he may not have processed that he was danger at all during the part most likely to scare a neurotypical child away.

Next, we have the coffee. Yes, I know the coffee thing is super overblown by the fandom and not really supported by canon but ssshshhhhhh my world my rules Tim drinks lots of coffee. Now, this one’s kinda obvious, but caffeine is a stimulant and surprise surprise so are most adhd meds. I have seen firsthand how ppl with undiagnosed adhd will mainline caffeine as a form of self medication, whether they’re aware of it or not. Some people use soda or energy drinks, but coffee’s also a really popular choice for this kinda thing. So not only is it completely plausible for someone with undiagnosed adhd to self medicate by drinking a shitton of coffee, it’s extremely common.

Next up! We have the insomnia. Which, again, I think might be played up a lot in fic? But this is my world and you’re reading in it, so. Tim’s an insomniac. This is one of the less well known symptoms of adhd, but again I speak from firsthand experience when I say it’s a big one. Insomnia is extremely common among ppl with adhd, for a couple reasons. One is time blindness, which I’ll come back to in the next point. But also? It’s just really hard to turn your brain off. And if a large portion of Tim’s brain space is being devoted to casework, guess what. That inability to turn one’s brain off will manifest as late night case solving blitzes. Not to mention that hyperfixation, again, changes the way you perceive things. When I hyperfixate on something I often lose hours at a time, and bodily needs like hunger, tiredness, the bathroom, etc aren’t just unimportant they straight up don’t register. With the number of times I’ve come out of a hyperfocus to realize that I have a dehydration headache that’s been brewing for at least an hour, or have completely skipped a major meal, or desperately need to pee, I can 100% believe Tim not noticing any sleep deprivation symptoms until he’s finished whatever he was working on. And I, again, speak from experience when I say that if you happen to hyperfixate at something at the wrong time of night you will be staying up way later than is reasonable. Which brings me to my next point of…

Time blindness! My most favoritist thing in the whole wide world! (/sarcasm) This shit can and absolutely will fuck up your ability to be a functioning human if you let it. Having no internal clock causes more problems than the obvious losing track of time. It means your appetite is sporadic at best and you could very easily forget to eat. It means your sleep schedule has a tendency to just disintegrate if you don’t keep on it. It means being completely dependent on external clocks to know how long things are/should be taking, even for stupid shit like cooking food or brushing your teeth. It means that if you don’t set an alarm for something there is a very real possibility that something isn’t happening no matter how much you want or need it to. In short, it completely fucks up your ability to care for yourself without a lot of external regimented support. Now, who does that remind you of? Which member of the batfamily is known for neglecting his own health? I may not read many comics but the sheer number of “Tim Drake subsists solely on coffee and spite” jokes on ao3 and tumblr is very telling.

His brains. Tim is very, very smart. Have you ever heard the phrase “twice exceptional?” It describes Tim Drake to a t. Plus, I’m living proof of how you can be both smart of brain and dumb of ass. This may be more of a “my family who just so happens to consist entirely of twice exceptional adhd dumbasses” thing than something most ppl with adhd experience, but. You can be really smart and incredible at putting together complex plans, both ahead of time and on the fly, and still have. No common sense whatsoever. Which seems to be a lot of Tim’s characterization: incredibly smart while simultaneously being a complete dumbass. So make of that what you will.

And most compellingly? I think it’s funny. This kid is brothers with Dick Grayson and best friends with Bart Allen and especially next to those two people would never expect Tim to be the one with the quote unquote “cant sit still disorder”. Yknow what? Let’s take this a step further. Let’s make Bart autistic. (I don’t know enough about the flash family to say how accurate this is but for the sake of the joke let’s say he is). People see Impulse standing next to Red Robin and they think they know which one is adhd and which is autistic and they are Wrong. Tim n Bart are Completely unaware of this but the rest of their team finds it hilarious. There’s probably at least one running joke about it.
