#sirius black has adhd

[hyperfocuscentre]

okay but adhd sirius?? it’s right there!! he’s impulsive as fuck (going after peter, the Prank) and clearly does not think before he does things. It ends up inevitably hurting others or even himself, in the case of his little vacation to azkaban. He also seems to be rather restless or quick to get bored from what I remember reading? There’s more and it’ll come to me-

[siriuslybea]

Remus totally sets cleaning timers for Sirius to be motivated into helping him clean up and rewards him afterwards for being a good boy and helping out.

[lightningmonarchda3]

possible tw: mention of someone thinking they're gonna get raped/hurt

hc that after a few years that sirius was sent to azkaban, remus finds a homeless teenager around 14/15ish. and his brain goes, 'i don' t really have anything to offer, but at least i can give them a place to sleep and protect them from the cold'

it takes a while for the kid to come around and actually go and stay at remus's flat bc they were on their gaurd and thought remus was gonna hurt or raped them.

after a few weeks that remus and the kid have gotton closer, remus realises that a lot of the stuff that Kid does is so much like sirius's. and he asks them and they replay with, "oh, im adhd" and they sit remus down and explain to them what adhd is and makes remus do some research himself.

and all this time, remus is having a full on crisis bc he has learned there's a high chance that sirius also had adhd, the impulsive and reckless urges, the insecurities, the specific chaos that he used to thrive in (anything except that chaos would drive him mad), the lack of motivation and energy, thinking that he's a "lost cause" and a "fuck up", his depressive episodes, all the things he was obsessed over, the emotional attachment to that mug, that plate, that soft animal, that necklace, that book, those records, the times he would have meltdowns/breakdowns over the things others viewed as 'simple' (including remus himself), not understanding remus's tone sometimes and having that horrible subdrop after a bdsm scene, some of their fights, and so on...

it all was fucking adhd...

[siriuslybea]

S: It was the ADHD motivation I needed

Remus: Sweet Merlin you look like a zombie!

Sirius*who's been up all night doing all the homework he procrastinated this semester but still finds energy to flirt with Remus*: I go for a look I like to call dead but delicious ;)

[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

[adharastarlight]

The marauders as things ive said/done:

Sirius: james, mate, what's wrong?

James: I left icecream out

Sirius: what?! its 10am, why were you eating icecream!?

James: time is a social construct

Remus: can you go back to put it away?

James, who is already running late for his date with Reg: ...no

Sirius: you're an idiot

James: its okay! I can make milkshakes when I get home. All of my chaos has solutions

[siriuslybea]

When Regulus gets there Remus is also packing a bag

Regulus: Where you going?

Remus: They were out of Sirius' ADHD medication, what are you doing here?

Regulus: They were out of James' ADHD medication

Sirius in the background: AAAAAAA MACARENA!

James: remember when you told me to go to the pharmacy?

Regulus: yes?

James "they're out of my ADHD meds for 5 days...

Regulus: oh my god

James: it's gonna be a fun week!!!

Regulus: I'm going to my brother's.

James: through sickness and health motherfucker!!

[riviuus]

the black brother fight because they are both autistic and their hyperspecefic rules are the opposite of the others

they are at completely diffrent ends of autism and it just makes a mess of everything

reg loves to follow rules and doesnt understand when someone doesnt so he follows his family into everything because his morals cant go against the rules

sirius doesnt follow rules if he doesnt understand why they are there and likes to do as he pleases so he doesnt do anything like his family and after a while it turns into masking everything with the "rebell run-away kid" role he puts on himself and he doesnt see when he goes too far

[abouttimeoc]

[hyperfocuscentre]

James Potter would love gryffindor parties, but I think he’d also take many bathroom breaks just to separate himself from the noise and crowds so he doesn’t get overstimulated.

[siriuslybea]

When Sirius goes into an ADHD meltdown Remus turns on kids yoga to help him regulate his emotions with fun yoga

Learning (Dis)Abilities (15.824 words) by MakkAttackk

marauders era AU

Summary:

Remus agrees to tutor Sirius Black, who can't sit still to study to save his arse. Slow burn, strangers to lovers.

Comment:

This was a wonderful marauders era fic, I absolutely adored following along as Remus reluctantly allows Sirius and the others to become a part of his life.

CARINAAAA 2K????? CONGRATSSSSSS

could i ask you to analyse bartylus with... potter!reader? 👀😳

THANK YOUUUUUUUU tihi<333 and of course you can lovely!

✶・•・✦・•・✶・✶・•・✦・•・✶

i will ANALYSE poly!bartylus with potter!reader

carina's 2k celebration

✶・•・✦・•・✶・✶・•・✦・•・✶

cw: fem!reader, references to black brothers trauma

this is james and sirius' best dream and worst nightmare handed to them on a platter

james' sibling dating regulus is literally something they have been dreaming, scheming and plotting of for years – "this is our chance to become brothers in law sirius!!!"

james' sibling dating barty crouch junior, batshit barty, the weird guy with the hair and the piercings and the tongue and the– please god no

"bubs please don't do this to me"

"i am not doing anything to you jamie, i'm just eating breakfast with my boyfriends"

"yeah, jamie, she's just eating breakfast with her boyfriends"

queue james and sirius having a joint seizure

though, i do think james eventually comes around, fuelled by that potter love and family loyalty, and he drags sirius with him into acceptance by the ear

while they might still grumble and sirius most definitely fakes throwing up at least once a day, they don't protest to barty going everywhere with them

(because barty is the only part of this they have a problem with)

(mcgonagall considers this karmic justice as she watches it all unfold in the great hall every day)

as for the couple itself, i think potter!reader and poly!bartylus would be a surprisingly healthy love story, despite the inevitable chaotic conception

firstly, the potter love is strong in reader and for you to shower them both in it would be a truly healing endeavor

the slytherin skittles have a lot of love to go around between them, but there is something about that brighter-than-the-sun, devoted, blinding, all-encompassing potter love that i think would just burn right through them and trigger every healing process

(much to both boys' initial fear and confusion)

secondly, the chaotic energy of someone who has grown up with james and been raised by effie and monty is the only one that can possibly match barty's unhingedness and adhd bursts

a potter!reader would also be rather grounded in a way that would help regulus keep barty managed – because that's an all-hands on deck type of situation

the dynamic in this trio would thus be rather balanced; equal parts fun, love and safety

not to mention that a potter!reader would be able to keep up with regulus and barty's verbal sparring – both regulus' jargon and academic debate-style and barty's snide comments and silly jokes

there are so many backgrounds for their dynamic that would make sense to me, so it's quite fun to play around with

i can see reader being affectionate to regulus because of sirius and him either being really fond of it or really adverse to it

depending on how resentful he is towards sirius and james at the time and how heavily he's clinging onto denial

either he's noticing her and feeling a warmth he can't quite explain OR he feels pitied or misunderstood and tries to run away at the sight of her

in the former case, barty would not want to be spending time with a potter voluntarily and tries to fight regulus on it until he meets you and becomes infatuated himself

in the latter case, barty would pick up on regulus' hesitance immediately (because he spends most of his time studying reg anyways)

and thus, both in a genuine attempt at helping him face reality and because he thinks it's hilarious, barty would be the one to seek out potter!reader when he's with regulus

thinking it will be a friendship for laughs but then oh. oh no. she's captivating.

alternatively, i can also see potter!reader seeing barty running around the castle being an absolute menace and going "that one. i want him."

(queue james pulling out his hair and marlene being concerned but still cackling loudly at the situation)

(because marlene would be a quasi-sister to potter!reader)

barty might at first lean into your attention and be like "haha this is going to mess with (james) potter so badly"

and then not even two minutes into talking with you he goes "fuck. it's going to mess with me"

it gives you and opportunity to get to know regulus outside of the whole situation with sirius and james and allows you to see him in a new light

when you're with barty and meet regulus, he's not somebody's traumatised little brother, he's the sarcastic and witty best friend – and that would do something to you

either way, bartylus have been in love for years on end without ever truly realising or acknowledging it

it's when potter!reader gets involved (in whatever way) that they understand "oh we're not just best friends, we're Best Friends, we're let's-spend-our-lives-together friends, which really is not friends at all"

(someone is bound to make comparisons between bartylus' and prongsfoot's belated realisations, and regulus will have to be held back from biting that person's head off)

the dynamic just works

chaotic but so passionately loyal

and we all know poly!bartylus would just be obsessed with her

mhm yeah i enjoy this. good food.

[thenerdwithadhdanddeppression]

Headcanon that Sirius Black, on top of his ADHD, has bipolar disorder

Like, one day he'll be the happiest little guy ever and the next you can't get him out of bed.

Remus constantly has to watch during those kinds of days, keep 'bathroom watch' to make sure Sirius doesn't do something stupid

The one day Remus couldn't be there was the full moon

The one day Remus wasn't there was when Sirius was having a manic episode

The one day Remus wasn't there Sirius revealed Remus's secret, had told Snape to go check out the shrieking shack.

give me your favorite marauders head cannons i need it heres mine

regulus’s hair was a lot like narcissa’s when he was younger when he was a boy he had blonde streaks in his hair, but when he was about 11 his hair went all black.

regulus has a grey eye and a blue eye

he’s autistic, but hides it

trans regulus has been roaming my mind and i love it.

james is latino and a really good cook curtsey of mama effie

when he’s angry he yells in spanish and only when he calms down you can understand him

james carries tampons/pads for regulus so he can just grab the bag and regulus can get it without asking.

james has adhd and anxiety, but with those it’s more physical actions like fiddling with a pen or wand and talking fast.

i love the head cannon of deaf remus tbh it’s really interesting to think about.

he is diagnosed as disabled so he has to use a cain everywhere because back problems and he gives out every once in awhile making him fall.

remus get’s grey hair early, but it’s not full out it’s like streaks.

remus has bpd and sirius and his friends make sure he takes his meds and knows his body language to help because he gets into fights easily.

sirius plays the drums to get his emotions stabilized and he always has his drum sticks on him to fiddle around.

to go with the deaf remus to get to know him more he learned sign language and always speaks up for him because remus is mute most of the time.

whether i get hate for this one idc i see him as genderfluid, but it’s more of subtle looks and like his actual face that makes him look it because it gives off a little confusion because his face is just both feminine and masculine and how he presents himself too.

demisexual sirius. yes you can thank crimson rivers for that one.

peter likes photography and likes to capture the world and the people he loves on film

his love language is definitely quality time to me and like he just silently does things for people

i feel like him and regulus could get along well as well

let me know if you want my headcannons for the girls! or just more in general
