Headcanons for how they’d be with someone who has ADHD
Genshin men x GN!Reader
Characters: Zhongli, Varka, Alhaitham, Childe
WARNINGS: none
Part 1
Zhongli
despite being an old man, he’s actually quite knowledgeable and up to date with information on ADHD — his boss (Hu Tao) has it after all
has learned tips and tricks to keep you focused from Hu Tao
loves listening to you ramble and will info dump along with you
usually good for keeping your impulses in check, except for when you impulse buy
RIP Hu Tao’s wallet bc this man will indulge and enable all your impulse buying and pin the tab to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor
is endeared by your numerous hobbies and even teaches you about them and their history when you share them with him
Varka
has heard of ADHD, but doesn’t really know much about it
kinda just thought that was just how you were and didn’t think much about it
it doesn’t make much of a difference to him, he loves you for you, after all
is a little clueless on how to support you, but tried his best!
has tried body doubling with you while doing his paperwork, but in the end he was the one who got distracted and veered you both off track
laughs off and indulges your impulsive tendencies which sometimes gets you both in trouble with Jean
will physically pick you up and carry you to the kitchen if you’ve been neglecting feeding yourself due to ADHD paralysis (iykyk)
Alhaitham
autism x ADHD power couple
neurodivergent buddies being strange together
will build you your own noise cancelling headphones, similar to his
his rigid structure and unwavering logic brings much needed order to your life
makes you eat his autism meals if you forget to eat
has a set schedule for your med intake and meals and keeps you on track for it
your body doubling is his parallel play
always notices when you start getting overstimulated and overwhelmed (he knows the feeling too well) and will be the first to take you out of the situation
your room and his are modified to be as sensory friendly as possible
Childe
disaster duo
Childe definitely has ADHD too (hyperactive type) and refuses to take meds for it bc he thinks it’ll get rid of his “sparkle”
will interrupt you mid-rant to add his own tangent and the two of you will tangent back and forth for hours till you completely forget what the original point was
you two will then spend another hour circling back and retracing your tangents until you get back to the original topic
and by then, dinner will have been cold and forgotten
you’re both always late to events and functions
and literally no one can ever get a word in when the two of you are talking
none of the chores will be done unless one of you is procrastinating on something else
will NOT help you control your impulses — if anything you have to stop him from acting on his impulses
Closing Notes: These ones are shorter since I was having trouble coming up with new stuff
౨ৎ GN reader, fluff, established relationship, non-sexual nudity, alhaitham is a lovesick fool
Despite his stoic nature, Alhaitham is an avid lover of kisses.
It's a habit that his grandmother instilled in him from a young age. Her hands, frail and wrinkled, would grab him by his collar with surprising strength before he could leave the house.
"How could I let my grandson leave without a kiss?" her voice would boom before she smothered his cheeks with her lips. And while he would grumble and whine about it as a child, he finds himself missing her embrace from time to time.
It's a tradition that he now passes on to you. Every morning, you're greeted by the faint press of his lips against your forehead and then the quiet sound of his laughter as you scrunch your nose at the ticklish feeling.
"Good morning, sweetheart," he whispers, leaning down to give you another kiss, this time on your lips. You mumble something incoherent in response, tugging the covers over your face in an attempt to fall back asleep.
"I'll see you later," he calls from the doorway of the bedroom. The only reply he gets is a thumbs up, your hand sticking out from the mess of blankets.
Some days, you manage to wake up before him, and his dreams are interrupted by the sound of the shower running.
You're scrubbing shampoo into your scalp when the shower door is suddenly yanked open.
"Fuck, you scared me," you shriek, glaring at him when his eyes wander down your body. "I thought my heart was gonna fall out of my body and onto the floor."
"I have a meeting," he announces as if it's the most important news in the world. "Goodbye kiss?"
You roll your eyes but oblige, pulling him into a deep, soapy kiss. "Goodbye, menace," you pull away with a scowl, flicking water in his face. He slaps your ass in retaliation.
Despite the interrupted showers and sleep, you like how affectionate he is. It makes you feel special because the seemingly apathetic Alhaitham somehow opened his heart up to you and only you. But it's also a sign of his warm upbringing—a sign that someone was there to love him when his parents couldn't—so you always indulge him with his kisses.
(Even though it can be an inconvenience sometimes.)
You scream as the bathroom door slams open. Alhaitham leans against the doorframe with a smirk on his face, and you know what's coming next.
Some of Van Gogh’s best work was done during a period of his life that he spent in a hospital being treated for his mental health problems. I could be wrong but I think Starry Night was among those.
This is consistently the case. Creators tend to do their best work when they are in a healthy place and receiving proper treatment and not being self destructive in their efforts to cope. Go figure.
All our experiences, good and bad, inform what we create, but suffering is not the price of great art. Suffering is what prevents artists from completing great art.
So the both of you think I'm resting? You could say that, but it's rather noisy. I'm sure you've noticed that someone is singing in the café, and I'm planning to pretend I haven't heard it.
Perhaps our friends thought preparing a surprise here would be more discreet, but they didn't consider the possibility that unexpected guests might be standing outside the door.
