Realizing I also inadvertently gave pouf my hEDS via headcanon bc:

- I think he's cold-blooded and can't regulate body temperature as a result -> I can't do that myself bc of my POTS (which I have due to my hEDS)

- I think he also supplements salt into his diet bc butterflies, especially swallowtails like himself, exhibit a behavior called "puddling" where they collect and sip up salt, typically from puddles of mud -> salt supplements are one of the most common treatments for POTS

- I think he also struggles with solid food bc butterflies and adult ants actually subsist entirely on liquids -> digestive issues are common with EDS and a liquid diet can help offset some symptoms

- I'm not even headcanoning his hypermobility, his body just looks like that:

#tbh.......... his body type is lowkey a little evocative of marfan's; tall and thin and the man's a violinist so probably long fingers too #but I'm clocking hEDS bc that's my health condition and ive accidentally perfectly aligned him to it #anyways. maybe I'm just a bug and that why I'm like this 😤#hxh #no this is funny enough to go into the main tag actually #hoatm rants #that thing he's doing with his finger in the manga panel.. i can replicate that motion 1:1; kinda grotesque and i should #probably stop doing it so often but it's so funny to do it and watch people go 👁👁#(the early onset arthritis it will give me will not be worth it + i am looking into getting braces for my fingers lmao)#shaiapouf
