Physical Headcanons of Dragon Slayers

Dragon Slayer Magic, and slayer magic in general, changes the User’s physiology in ways other magic types do not– though the element they correspond with does play a major factor in what changes occur, there are some that affect all Dragon Slayers: (Hiro and Tsuki are OC’s who only sort of exist in the same universe, but are both Dragon Slayers)

Indent Text = Mainpoint

Bullet = Subpoint

Number = Subpoint of Subpoint

All Dragon Slayers have enhanced senses, more so than their God and Devil Slayer counterparts– where only one or two of their senses are heightened

Their senses are nearly triple that of a normal humans, and often leads to sensory overloads (Hiro and Erik having stronger hearing than most dragon slayers, Erik due to the nature of his magic- able to hear thoughts and movements of the body- and Hiro due to her magic and a genetic defect- able to hear all the way to Fiore’s farthest border with her mufflers turned up to 10 [10 is the strongest setting on mufflers, allowing the most sound to come through, but still blocking most of it]. Without her mufflers, she can hear all of Ishgar)

Their sense of taste is also increased. To protect their nervous system and body from damage caused by certain flavors, dragon slayers have a thicker, viscous saliva that covers their mouth as a shield, which ends up blocking a lot of flavor

This means they can eat the hottest peppers in Fiore with little fanfare, fire dragons in particular are prone to such snacking habits.

It also means their food will have more spices than most humans can handle, because they want to taste it

Their magic forms a thin barrier around their vital organs, though the actual purpose is unknown, it is believed that it’s to guard against internal attacks – poison, illness, etc.

The thickness of the barrier depends on age and element, with Wendy having thicker barriers than someone like Erik (who is immune to toxins), but not as thick as Gajeels.

Natsu and Tsuki’s magic burns through toxins, though Natsu is still vulnerable to a few. Tsuki’s internal temperature, being a White Fire Dragon Slayer, is far to high for normal toxins.

This means that, if Tsuki gets sick, the bacteria has evolved to survive her body temperature long enough to effect her. She will be under quarantine, as some bacteria would die with the body temp lower than they evolved to handle, while others will spread even further.

Dragon Slayers are able to roar, though their age, gender, and element do play a part in what it sounds like:

Tsuki and Natsu’s pitch shifts and changes with their mood, but it’s always extremely loud

Tsuki’s is, by far, the loudest naturally– she’s had plenty practice– and it often causes the ground to shake (There have been a few fallen buildings as a result, she doesn’t roar often)

Tsuki sounds most like a dragon, as she’s the only one who really remembers being taught how to roar like a dragon and not a slayer. Hiro would have been similar if she were old enough to learn it.

Wendy and Hiro are able to twist their vocal cords to create such a high pitch, that it can’t be heard–but still bursts eardrums

Due to their age, they have to force louder volumes, and usually need several minutes to let their voices rest afterwards

Hiro’s is more draconic simply because of the nature of Storm Dragon Slayers.

Laxus’ is loud, and incredibly deep, sounding like ongoing thunder with an echoing higher pitch– and is the second naturally loudest overall

Hiro, due to being a storm dragon slayer, also has a bit of this effect– like rolling thunder and lighting aftershocks. It’s a lot quieter than Laxus’.

Gajeel’s sounds like grating, creaking metal; it’s very deep, and has a medium volume- though it does cause slight vibrations in a thirty meter radius

Sting and Rogue have a medium volume, and no one really knows what their actual roar sounds like

They mimic each other and others, like light reflections and shadows

Erik doesn’t really roar, it’s more of a loud, ominous hissing sound

The sound causes a primal sort of fear in all who hear it, though dragon slayers are more immune than average humans. It does not affect Tsuki, who was raised and trained around many slayers, and Hiro, who lives to spite her body and instincts

Dragon Slayers also purr, much like cats do, though the same factors apply

Tsuki purrs the second most, and does it especially when around those she considers hers

Her’s in specific has a soothing, and calming effect. It tells you everything will be alright, and that she’ll take care of it. It comes with being the oldest and most intune with her instincts

Natus also purrs quite a bit, usually while eating or sleeping

Since he’s still young, it’s more of the effect of a kitten on Tsuki, though non-dragon slayers don’t really notice the difference

Wendy and Hiro purr like it’s second nature, though Wendy only really does so to calm Hiro. Hiro purrs the most out of all of them

They are very noticeably kitten purrs, giving the urge to protect and nurture to the older dragon slayers that hear it

Laxus has deep rumbling purrs, and he doesn’t purr often

So far, Tsuki, Erik, Wendy, Hiro, and his kids are the only ones who have ever heard him purr

Though, it’s more like they feel him purr

Gajeel also has deep purrs, though rather quiet

Again, it’s more of something you feel than hear, his entire body shakes with the force

This is all according to Tsuki and Hiro, though some believe Wendy and Levy have heard them– neither will reveal anything

Sting and Rogue are much like Natsu, though they have more control over it– due to the trauma inflicted by Jiemma

With Tsuki, Laxus, and Erik, they are near constantly purring

They do purr around Hiro as well, its almost infectious

Erik is more similar to a snake than a cat, and his draconic sounds reflect that! So, while he doesn’t exactly purr, he also kind of does.

It sounds more like a quiet, content hissing though, but is described as more of a churr

Purrs are very infectious, if one purrs, they all purr, even if they’re doing so for different reasons

Stick em in a room with Tsuki and/or Hiro purring, and soon they’ll all be doing it without realizing

It’s a form of nonverbal communication for dragons, usually meaning happiness or contentedness

Dragon slayers have sharp claws, though their length depends entirely on the individual slayer

Some keep them filed down as not to accidentally scratch anything, but it does cause a strange, burning-itch in their fingers

The claws grow faster than an average human’s nails

Tsuki doesn’t cut hers beyond a certain point, cutting them down to the same length of the average nail is what causes the itching, almost like declawing a cat, very uncomfortable and not the usual

Natsu and Hiro don’t cut theirs down either, and it’s up to Tsuki to make sure they actually take care of them– though Hiro is generally very good at keeping them short enough to be able to do things, but long enough to defend herself if she can’t access magic

Gajeel also keeps his a certain length, and so does Erik, but Gajeel does it for max Bad Boy Effect and Erik does it because the tips can excrete poison if he wants them too, and if he cuts them too close it gets into his bloodstream and it’s really annoying

Laxus keeps his claws short because long nails make him uncomfortable, and the electricity in his body already causes itchiness. What's a little bit more?

Wendy keeps her short, but not super short, and also files them into more a square shape

Wendy likes to paint all their nails and once she and Hiro use the Puppy Eyes, no one can decline, it’s against the law

All kinds of Slayers have two magical cores, where their magic energy is stored, while other Wizards only have one.

No one knows entirely why, but it is believed that the first Slayers evolved the second core to manage their magic easier, as it is a very volatile magic genre

Dragon Slayers are hypoglycemic, mostly because of the volatile nature of their magic eating up at any sort of energy their body has– including their blood sugars.

Tsuki is the only one who is aware of this, but thinks the others are aware even if they’re not.

They know their body feels weird and they get tired, and that Tsuki makes sure they all eat after every fight and will shove food in their mouth whenever they feel that Weird Discomfort in their bones, but they don’t know why and don’t really care. That’s it.

It’s very annoying to deal with

They suck at taking care of themselves, all in different ways and all for different reasons.

Naeleon week day 6 first encounter

(non despair au)

Hooooo boy this is late but I have been doing school things :>

High school parties were always... memorable... to say the least.

Yeah, it’s always fun to chat with friends, eat food, dance, make friends, hear really loud music as everyone shouts with no chill, the whole shebang.

They’re a lot of fun! A lot of fun for people who don’t suffer from sensory processing disorder, ADHD, anxiety or ASD, at least.

One Friday, Ibuki decided to host a huge party at her place while her parents were out of town for the weekend. The entire class was invited, and most of it attended.

Leon was among them. He really enjoyed parties, or at least that’s what he told everyone.

Frankly, they were a little loud for his liking, but that wasn’t something people needed to know about.

But he went.

Leon spent most of the party chatting with ibuki, mondo, and souda.

Eventually, his little group had dispersed to doing other things, and Leon was left alone in a crowd of loud people, many of which likely drunk and/or high.

Too many people bumping into him and yelling and—

Oh god it’s too loud.

He excused himself to one of the guest rooms that was left unlocked and sat himself down behind the bed.

That was close.

Just 5 minutes. He should be fine by then.

But just then he could hear someone whimpering. They sounded anxious.

He didn’t want anyone to know he was in there hiding, but at the same time, he felt sympathetic towards that person.

That sympathy got the better of him and he stood up to investigate the source of the crying.

Leon noticed a short brunette boy who appeared to be close to his age crouched down behind a dresser with his knees pressed to his chest.

That was the source of the crying.

Leon slowly approached him.

“Hey, you ok?” He asked, softening his voice .

The boy looked up at him and replied.

“I-It’s really loud. The party is really loud,” he sniffled. “Everyone’s yelling and bumping each other and screaming and—“

“Hey hey hey calm down. Deep breaths. You’re ok,” Leon said, placing his hand on the other person’s shoulder. “You’re hyperventilating. Would you like some water?”

The boy nodded.

“Alright. Don’t go anywhere, ok?”

The boy nodded.

“O-Ok”

Leon got back up and walked out the room and to the beverage table.

He grabbed a water from the ice chest and swiftly returned to the anxious stranger in the guest room.

“Got your water,” Leon said walking back into the room.

The boy from earlier glanced up, loosening his grip on his sleeves.

He sat back down next to the boy and handed him the cold water, and sat there awkwardly.

The brunette stranger opened the water bottle, or, tried to. His hands were shaking, causing him to struggle.

“Need help with that?” Leon offered, holding out his hand.

The boy nodded and handed him the water bottle, which Leon opened without much struggle.

“There you are,” he said handing the bottle back to the other boy.

“Thanks,” he replied, taking a large sip of the water.

“Thirsty?” Leon asked, almost impressed at how quickly the other person was chugging the water down.

The brunette boy stopped and separated the bottle from his lips, fallowed by a sharp exhale. “Yeah. Thanks.”

“‘Course, man,” Leon replied. “Soo you got a name or something?”

The stranger chuckled. “Of course I have a name, silly. My names Makoto,” the boy, Makoto, replied.

“Makoto, huh?” Leon asked.

“Yeah.”

“So, how ya feelin, Makoto?” Leon asked.

“Still,,, kinda anxious,, if I’m being honest,” Makoto replied.

“Whose your ride? Ya got a ride?” Leon asked.

“Usually my parents come pick me up, but they don’t get off work until ten,” Makoto replied.

“What time is it?” Leon mumbled under his breath, looking at the time on his phone. 8:39 PM. “So they won’t be back for another 2 hours. How do you usually home with on Fridays?” He asked.

“Usually I get a ride from Hiro, but he already went home,” Makoto said, fidgeting with something on the ground anxiously.

“Gotcha. Well, how far is your house?” Leon asked.

“It’s about 2 miles or so from here, so I could walk home. Just get nervous when doing so,” Makoto said.

“You shouldn’t have to walk that far after an anxiety attack, dude. Trust me, I’ve tried. Isn’t fun,” Leon commented.

“Doesn’t sound that fun,” Makoto said in response.

“You know, I could walk you home if ya want,” Leon offered.

“You’d do that?” Makoto asked, looking up at him.

“Yeah. This party’s lame anyways. C’mon, let’s get you cleaned up and get ya home,” Leon said getting up.

“Real quick, could you tell me your name?” Makoto asked, getting up as well.

“Names Leon.”

“Nice to meet you Leon,” Makoto said with a slight smile.

“You too man,” he replied.

“Probably wanna cover your ears,” Leon said putting his hand on the doorknob.

Makoto complied, cupping both of his hands over his ears. The door opened, and within seconds, loud music, laughter, talking and bass could be heard flooding the room. That small quiet haven loud again like the majority of the house.

The two walked together out of the house and to the front yard, which still echoed the loud bass from the music inside.

Makoto took a large sigh of relief. The feeling of being away from all the noise was a huge weight of anxiety suddenly dropped.

“Alright, lemme just notify my friends I’m going home early, and we’ll be on our way, a’ight?” Leon said taking out his phone and typing something in.

The “sent” noise played, and he placed the device back in his pocket.

“Parents get home at 10?” Leon asked.

“Yeah,�� Makoto replied, remembering to message his mom that he was able to get a ride back home.

“So we got about an hour or so to spare, so would ya like to grab something to eat?” Leon offered. “I got some extra money on me, so I could cover ya.”

“Sure! Anything you have in mind?” Makoto asked.

“There’s a boba place a block from here, if that sounds any good.”

“Sounds good,”

Overwhelmed

Naeleon (Makoto Naegi/Leon Kuwata)

(minor)emotional hurt/comfort fic. cw: yelling, demeaning of self, emotional outbursts. ~2k words

tldr; Leon is very overwhelmed, luckily he has Makoto there to help him

Based on this submission from @naeleon-headcanon-blog

Books? Check. Notebooks? Check. Blankets and a change of clothes? Check and check. Rucksack full of snacks he had stolen from the kitchen? Check!

Everything for operation date night was ready.

Carefully placing everything into his emptied school bag, Makoto slipped it onto his back and stuffed his room key into his pocket. A glance at the clock reassured him that it was only 9:20, there was still half an hour before he had to be heading out. But he had already finished his homework for the night, and there wasn't enough time to get started on a new project… it'd be fine to show up early, he reasoned.

He settled on the thought, locking his door behind him. With a smile on his face he turned to head down the hall, and almost ran straight into Yasuhiro. The clairvoyant was immediately on edge, jumping back from their barely-avoided collision and almost dropping his phone. They stared at each other for a moment, a look of understanding passing between them before the mystic smiled at him. "You gonna tell Taka I'm sneaking out?"

"I won't tell if you don't, Hiro."

The taller laughed, patting his shoulder and wishing him the best before running past him down the stairs. He could faintly hear him meeting up with some upperclassmen in the stairwell before their voices faded away.

Shaking his head, Makoto adjusted his bag and headed down the hall. It was always a little weird walking through the empty halls at night, but he could sometimes hear an exceptionally loud laugh from Mondo's room, or the sound of an anime opening from Hifumi's, and the sliver of light from beneath doors was enough of a reminder that everyone was there. He slowed down as he passed Ishimaru's room, trying to make his footsteps as quiet as possible. He really didn't want to be late for movie night because Taka caught him near curfew again.

But there was no light coming from behind the door, meaning he had either gone to bed early or was somewhere else, and it was enough of a confidence boost to let Makoto hurry the rest of the way to Leon's room. With midterms coming up they hadn't had much time to hang out lately, and he was eager to finally relax together. As he got closer to the door though, he was concerned with what he heard.

"-can't possibly be that fuckin' difficult! Piece of shit!"

There was no doubt it was Leon yelling, and he hesitated by the door. He could hear the distinct thud, thud, thud of something hitting the wall, and could picture the Ultimate throwing a tennis ball against the wall. One of the first years, Ryoma, had given him one after he put a hole in the wall from throwing his baseball at it. Using a softer ball was definitely an improvement, but there were still dents in the wall from the frequency and he could only imagine how it bothered other students.

Was… that why Hiro had left? They shared a wall, and he'd seen the clairvoyant take walks before when his neighbour was stressed, but for him to make plans for the night and leave? How long had Leon been at it?

The cry of "Motherfuc-" broke off into silence as Makoto knocked on the door. The banging against the wall stopped, and it was growing eerily quiet. He waited a few seconds, but when there was no answer he knocked again.

"Leon…?" No answer. He took a deep breath, letting it out slowly as he grabbed the handle. "Hey, I'm coming in, okay?"

The door swung open easily, it was hardly ever locked. Inside, he could see a textbook open on the desk, crumpled balls of paper overflowing from the waste bin next to it. Leon was standing by the chair, tennis ball in hand as he stared down at the book. As he walked in, Makoto couldn't help but notice there was a new dent in the wall by the bed. He set his book bag on the bed slowly, not wanting to startle Leon.

The ball in his hand bulged as he squeezed it, knuckles turning white as his other hand gripped the chair. He hadn't looked up once since he'd walked in the room, but his chest rose and fell quickly, as if struggling to get enough air. "Makoto… 's not a good time…" he mumbled, head turning slightly towards the lucky student. "Gonna need to, uh… cancel tonight..."

Regardless of his words, Makoto sat on the bed, pulling his legs up beneath him. They'd been in this situation before, each time Leon quietly asking him to leave. But he knew better than that, knew that the baseball star would only spiral further if left to his own devices. Instead, he just asked "What happened?"

He could see Leon freeze up, see the tension that coursed through him as his hands twitched, gripping the chair beside him as if it was a lifeline. The tennis ball dropped to the desk, bouncing a little against others in a bowl. "...Homework. Was tryin' to get it done before you came over, but I-" he broke off, running a hand through his hair.

Frustration was worming it's way into his voice. "Was tryin' to do these math problems but every time I start I fuck it up!" His voice was growing louder, frustration turning into anger as he grabbed a ball from the bowl and tossed it between his hands. "It shouldn't be this fuckin' difficult, right?! I mean, what the hell! Chi can do this shit in his sleep, and I can't even do one problem without fucking it up!"

Makoto's eyes darted to the ball, quickly returning to his face to show he was paying attention. The redhead's face was twisted in a sneer, and his eyes were focusing on nothing in specific, looking through whatever was in his line of sight. "Doesn't Chihiro usually help you with math?" he asked quietly, watching his classmate pace from one end of the room to another.

"Yeah, usually. He had some dumbass council thing tonight, asked if I could do it myself. Told him yeah, what the hell else would I tell 'im?!" Leon groaned loudly, running a hand through his hair again as he turned on his heel and paced back the way he just came. "Dude takes time out of his day to help me out all the time, can't just tell him no! Figured we'd done enough that I could manage one night on my own. It's just one night! Just three fuckin' problems! I shouldn't have this much fuckin' trouble-"

"Leon, wait, that's-!"

"-With an easy ass REMEDIAL CLASS!!" The baseball whizzed through the air regardless of Makoto's warning, hitting the lamp on his nightstand dead center and sending it crashing to the floor. Both boys stopped to look at it, the light flickering from behind the broken lampshade. "SHIT!!" Leon smacked his head, covering his eyes as he tried to calm himself down. "Can't believe I just did something so fucking stupid!!"

"Don't beat yourself up, you didn't-" Makoto started to say, but stopped himself as he saw Leon stop pacing and pull at his hair, eyes squeezed shut.

"Stupid! Stupid stupid stupid!!"

"Leo-"

"STUPIDSTUPIDSTUPIDSTUPIDSTUPIDSTUPID!!!"

A gentle hand resting on Leon's arm made his eyes snap open, watery grey eyes searching Makoto's face desperately. He led the baseball player to the bed slowly, sitting him down and grabbing a thermos from his bag to offer him a drink. "Here, take a sip" he spoke softly, his hand never leaving his arm as he squeezed it reassuringly.

Leon took a long sip, taking a shuddering breath like he had forgotten how to breathe. He was practically hyperventilating, tears streaking their way down his face and Makoto sat beside him, making Leon look at him. "Hey, it's okay, I'm right here. Can you count with me? 10… 9… 8…" Quietly, Leon's voice joined his own, continuing with him down to one.

Squeezing his arm, Makoto took the thermos from his shaking hands, setting it on the nightstand. "There we go… Can you tell me what day it is?"

"...Wednesday."

"Where are we?"

"...Hope's Peak."

"What's your talent?"

"....Fuckin' baseball."

"Who am I?"

Leon's breathing had started to calm down, blinking as he looked slowly up at his companion. "Koto… my boyfriend…"

Makoto gave him a gentle smile, nodding his head and taking shaking hands into his own. His fingers ran over the decorative rings his boyfriend was still wearing, and he felt Leon grip his hands like he'd disappear. "Yep, I'm right here for you. Always."

It wasn't the first time Leon had had an overload in front of him, and it certainly wouldn't be the last, but he knew the boy was afraid of scaring him off. The first time he'd thrown something in front of him, Leon had avoided him for a week, paranoid that he wouldn't want to be around him anymore. Makoto would be lying if he said it wasn't concerning, but he was determined to understand, setting aside time to sit down privately with Leon and talk to him about it.

He was easily overwhelmed if he felt he wasn't good enough at something, and his relying on baseball to get him through school had meant he never really learnt how to study. Now that he was in Hope's Peak, surrounded by people who were all experts in their field, he was finding it harder and harder not to get angry at himself when he couldn't do something. Usually he could push the feeling inside, but it would keep building and building until he couldn't keep pushing it down, and if something particularly difficult happened, or he heard too many of what he labelled as "bad sounds", or he was having an off day, his brain would go into an overload and he'd shut down, unable to control his anger at himself.

This was something that Makoto was sort of familiar with, as too much stimuli or conflicting sounds could send him into a sensory overload, and he could relate on some level. He didn't get angry, like Leon did, but he'd had his fair share of crying sessions in his dorm after a particularly difficult day with stimuli. He'd made extra-sure that Leon knew what he experienced was valid, and reassured him that he wasn't scared. Since that day, he'd caught Leon on the verge of breaking a few times, and once in the middle of an episode. Each time he sat down and helped him work through it, reassuring him that he wasn't stupid or an idiot like he claimed.

"Why do you keep helping me, Koto?" Leon asked suddenly, his face buried in Makoto's hair as he held him close. His voice was barely above a whisper, cracking as he spoke. "Nothing makin' you deal with me when I'm like... this… hell, half the time I'm yelling at you to leave. Why bother?"

Makoto hugged him tightly, pressing a chaste kiss to his shoulder. "Because you're worth it, Leon... I wish you could see that."

He felt him laugh, but there was no humour behind it. The loud student was tired, having worn himself out emotionally. He leaned back against the wall, pulling Makoto with him. There was a moment of silence as they situated themselves, neither one wanting to destroy the comfortable silence they found themselves in.

"...I love you, man."

Though his eyes were closed, he could practically hear the smile in Makoto's voice. "Love you too, Leon."

ADHD Headcanons

Cause I have a growing list. And I want to remember. Cause if I don't write it down, I'll forget. I'll probably forget anyways. Some of these are most likely stetches. Please don't fight me.

Deku from my hero academia. Think about it. He's definitely hyperactive. I don't know very much about inattentive. Looking at the way he acts, it feels like he has adhd. He gives of a certain energy to me. Plus, the notebook? The notebook with a list of all his classmates strengths and weaknesses? Sounds a bit like hyperfocus to me. All the muttering and stuff too. The ranting as well. He's obviously shy, and he is always having low self-esteem, about as if he was experiencing RSD. He can come up with strategies pretty well, definitely sounds like hyper focus.

Bakugo, also from my hero academia. I didn't think about this until I saw someone's post on tumblr. It seems like he might have adhd and anger issues. He really wants to be the best and that makes him a bit of a perfectionist, so imagine how frustrated that would make him. I think maybe it's not all about his ego, but he thinks deep down if he isn't good enough, people won't like him no matter how much he does- RSD. He can focus on what really matters to him, that's clear. But does he do anything outside of trying to be the best? Not very much. Also, maybe part of it is sensory issues? He's bored if nothing high-energy is going on, but when there is, he will sort of get overwhelmed, making him more angry. There were a few things I forgot.

Sprig Planter from Amphibia. Also seems hyperactive, but also inattentive. After the episode about going to the university, it seemed really likely. He focuses on monsters and fiddles. He didn't do very well with anything else (to be fair, why did they expect him to act like that or be good at college level stuff? He's basically 10. He doesn't pay attention well . Also, Sprig doesn't like to sit still a lot. And remember the whole thing how he's always suspicious about anyone being friends with Anne? Overprotective a bit. But also he's scared of losing her as a friend, like she'll just suddenly decide he isn't interesting enough. And then there was the part about how social awkward he can be. If you think about it, he has most adhd symptoms.

Marcy from Amphibia. This one is a bit more obvious cause the fandom had already noticed she could have adhd or autism as soon as she was introduced.

Steven from Steven Universe. The symptoms used to be a bit more obvious, but it's clear he already had them. Also, he was a teenager in the first season and I thought he was way younger, and being someone experiencing that all the time, I went "same". That is common with adhd sometimes, not "acting your age", and he really seems to have a combined type. He has PTSD too, of course, but you could see the adhd before all the traumatic stuff. And also, since all the gems could be neurodivergent according to Rebecca, it's pretty likely and canon in my head.

Peridot from Steven universe. This isn't an adhd headcanon, but she's probably autistic and that's awesome so I couldn't just not mention her.

Luz from the owl house. Another one that I just feel radiates possible adhd energy. She's definitely hyperactive and inattentive. I don't know very much to say about this, but maybe it's the reason why she feels like she's so weird. She feels different because her brain works differently.

Dewey from Ducktales? I don't know, maybe

Webby from Ducktales? Still not sure

Huey from Ducktales probably is autistic. Also not adhd but still cool.

Violet from Ducktales also might be neurodivergent in some way. Sorry for including a lot of ducktales kids.

Louie from Ducktales? I don't know. Some of the kids feel like stretch but still raise some suspicion from me.

Smackle from Girl meets world has aspergers. This is a confirmed fact and was revealed in an episode.

Star from Star vs the forces of evil. Still a possibility. This seemed more likely in earlier seasons, but it could still be a possibility.

Cricket from Big City Greens. This seems like it could be highly possible, especially since the creator is on Twitter about it and seems to be suggesting that he has adhd. This was while announcing a new episode called "quiet please" so maybe.

Tilly from Big City Greens 100% is in the autism spectrum. There is no convincing me otherwise.

Vanellope from wreck it ralph, obviously .

18. Hiro from Big Hero 6 and Big Hero 6 the series could be adhd, but a genius with adhd, definitely not too uncommon. Lots of geniuses have adhd, and so did many in the past.

19. Miles Morales from Spiderman into the Spiderverse (and whatever else he is in because I need to watch more spiderman movies. I've only seen into the spiderverse) ok, possibly a stretch, but maybe. I don't know too much about Peter yet.

20.Mabel Pines, twin of Dipper, from gravity falls. I definitely believe she is either autistic or adhd

21. Dipper Pines, twin of Mabel, from gravity falls. He definitely has one of the two as well.

Before MSA + 1: Coincidence?

Vivi got home looking pleased.  “Did you get to see one of the ghosts?” asked Hiro.

“No, but guess what?” Vivi grinned up at him.  “Arthur’s friends are a medium and a…I’m not sure how to describe Sydney, but she’s some sort of living ghost repellant.”

Hiro blinked.  “Is that so?  That’s rather unusual.  Are you sure?”

Vivi shrugged.  “Pretty sure.  And they said they’d investigate with us!  Them and Arthur!  Can you show us?  We can investigate the cemetery and Lewis’ house so you can teach ‘em what to do. Maybe go to a few local places.”

Hiro nodded.  “They will need their parents’ permission first.”

Vivi nodded.  “And Sydney and Lewis thought they could learn how to fight a bit.  Wait until you meet them.  Sydney is tiny and hyper, but I think she’s smarter than she lets on, and she’s kind of adorable.  And Lewis is huge!”

Hiro nodded.  “They sound interesting.  I would like to meet them.”

Vivi continued to go on about her day for several moments before Hiro excused himself to his study, Ben trailing behind him.  Hiro removed his old short sword from its place on the wall and flicked the first couple of inches out of the sheath.  “Did Sydney and Lewis really have powers?”

Ben nodded.  “They did, pretty powerful too.  They’d get stronger with training.”

“And what are the chances another two children with strong abilities around Vivi’s age would be living in Tempo?” asked Hiro.

“It’s unlikely, but also not that surprising,” said Ben.  “People like Sydney usually have their powers overwhelm their sensory abilities, leaving them unable to detect anything that would make them realize they have any sort of spiritual power in the first place.  On the other hand, when someone like Lewis finds someone like Sydney, they instinctively will stay within a close proximity since doing so provides them with protection.”  Ben hummed thoughtfully.  “Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if powers like Sydney’s are more common than we realize, and we only notice when they become particularly strong or happen to accidentally interfere with a spell or ability.  After all, it sounds like Sydney’s been living in Tempo for several years, and I had no idea until today.”

Hiro nodded.  “That does make a sort of sense I have to admit.”

“Lewis is a bit unusual.  He’s adopted, and says he’s always ben able to see ghosts, suggesting he was born with the ability.”  Ben frowned. “Even if we have people like Sydney hypothetically common, that means three people with significant abilities in a single location.  Two could be coincidence.  Three is odd enough that I have to wonder if someone is manipulating events somehow. And if people like Sydney are rare, you have four people with odd abilities, which almost certainly means that someone is pulling strings somewhere.”

Hiro sighed.  “How high up?”

Ben thought a moment. “If I can’t find any evidence of manipulations, it’ll be too high up for us to do anything about it until they make a move.”

So this could be anything from an enormous coincidence to some sort of deity messing with these children’s lives to bring them together.  Hiro’s features hardened.  “Then we’ll have to be sure they’ll be able to defend themselves.”

Writing meme for @billlybutcher :)

4.) Favorite character you’ve written?

That would definitely be Hiro <3 He's the one I've spent the most time fleshing out and consistently writing about. I don't know--in a way I think he's the most "human(?)" character I've written about. He makes stupid mistakes, doesn't always know the right thing to say or do--just has to hope things work out. It's been fun really digging into his character, finding out what makes him tick.

13.) Your strengths as an author? Uhhhh. Descriptions? Maybe? I love setting the scene and describing sensory details, trying to get the mood right. I actually really like the research part of writing though, and being able to dig into new subjects I might not know very much about. I do a lot of technical/historical writing/analysis for my job so it tends to end up bleeding over into my creative stuff too. I'm only recently getting back into writing more--I always liked creating characters/worldbuilding but didn't share much of it. It's still super intimidating, because there are so many amazing authors but it's been fun too 💖💖

17.) If you could give your fledgling author self any advice, what would it be?

You don't actually need to publish anything complete. Just write for the fun of it. It doesn't even need to have a coherent plot, just keep practicing, improving bit by bit. It's not going to be perfect, and it's okay if it sounds stupid. Just keep going. And learn to let people edit your stuff/stop being so defensive. It can be really rewarding, and the different perspectives will make you grow as an author (and can be a huge inspiration too). Or write with others!! It's even more fun and then you'll always have someone to bounce ideas off of. (and for the love of god--don't create a half angel/half demon OC with a terrible angsty backstory--please just don't. Still embarrassed about that one.)

Thanks for asking!! Was really fun. 🥰🥰
