thinking... Ive had this idea for a while but its hard to make them look alike when my style isnt that detailed LOL but its the thought that counts maybe. At least they both share that annoying shit eating grin that Makes Me Mad
whatever, go my found family slop. I hardly post any of the drawings i do of them for Reasons but Theyre awfully special to me!!!
DRDT cast with schizospec and or psychotic disorders!!
notes:
- this is using a loose definition of both terms. disorders that present with psychotic features, or those that are considered schizospec for their relation to negative symptoms (ie. schizoid personality disorder and related terms), will be included.
- these are all just headcanons for fun, and not all of them will be based in canon content!
- spoilers for drdt backstories, and content warning for topics contained in those, but i try to keep it to a minimum
- below the read more will contain explicit references to delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, and other symptoms of these disorders. please proceed past that point with caution! everything before the section break will only be the list of disorders for each character
list:
Teruko Tawaki: Schizotypal Personality Disorder
Xander Matthews: PTSD with psychotic features
Charles Cuevas: PTSD with psychotic features
Ace Markey: Brief Psychotic Disorder
Arei Nageishi: Unspecified Personality Disorder with psychotic features
In-depth headcanons below (read the notes section before continuing):
Teruko Tawaki: Schizotypal Personality Disorder
- obsession with luck is magical thinking
- distrustful of everyone due to paranoia
- mistakes normal things for signs of danger
- (honestly schizotypal is very fitting for her outside of the purposes of this post but you didnt hear that from me)
Xander Matthews: PTSD with psychotic features
- primarily tactile and visual hallucinations, bodies on the ground grabbing at him (from his chariton trauma)
- went on adhd meds after seeing a therapist for his trauma, psychotic symptoms got worse so he went off of them and stopped therapy
- knows what he was experiencing now but is still nervous to go back
- would advocate for mental health resources either way but it's definitely more personal to him
Charles Cuevas: PTSD with psychotic features
- tactile and visual hallucinations that he offhands as normal bc he 1. was sheltered 2. doesnt like being vulnerable and 3. doesnt remember the trauma
- feels pain randomly, sees figures, lots of reminders of his trauma that he doesnt understand
Ace Markey: Brief Psychotic Disorder
- always been paranoid but only reached diagnosable criteria in the killing game
- persecutory delusions and auditory hallucinations to go along with it
- walks so quietly because he thinks someone will kill him if they hear him
Arei Nageishi: Unspecified Personality Disorder with psychotic traits
- developed a mix of personality disorder traits in childhood due to her sisters
- hallucinates under high stress, mostly auditory
- usually hears noises but sometimes laughing or indiscernable words
Rose Lacroix: Schizophrenia
- disorganized speech in the way of alogia
- often stops speaking midsentence, cant come up with the words for anything
- when she does manage to speak she has major derailment and tangentiality
- some catatonia as well
Hu Jing: Depression with psychotic features
- somatic delusions of pain and hears whispers saying her name
- thinks everyone hates her and wants her dead even when presented with obvious friendliness and care
Eden Tobisa: Schizophrenia
- doesnt take her symptoms seriously, thinks its all in her head
- hallucinations make her doubt herself all the time
- mostly auditory and olfactory, but experiences all types
- religious delusions, thinks she was sent by a higher power to do good in the world
- has lots of non-scary hallucinations, finds them fascinating
J Moreno: Schizophrenia
- runs in the family but everyone refuses to acknowledge it
- taught to keep it under wraps and even though she rejects everything else her mom tells her, she still feels internalized shame and hides it
- mainly has persecutory delusions and auditory / visual hallucinations
- not always scary but freaks out regardless if it happens in public
Whit Young: PTSD with psychotic features
- used to think his mom was still alive in delusional episodes until he went to therapy and got medication
- now he just pretends to cope with it and avoid the awkwardness. or to make jokes
- he doesnt talk about anything in therapy, only still goes to get his medication prescribed
- mostly symptom free now as far as the psychosis goes
Nico Hakobyan: Schizoaffective Disorder
- depressive type
- tried to be open to others about their diagnosis, did not go well
- medicated but still has episodes due to extreme stress
- constantly gets told that theyre confused / accidentially lying despite being self-aware of their symptoms and knowing for a fact that what theyre saying is true
