Hello, I’m Angel. I like to write stuff sometimes and this is my blog for that.
I'm open to receiving requests, but I won't guarantee that they'll be done. I see them more as potential inspiration and will only write the ones that really call out to me. Otherwise, I reserve the right to refuse them.
Minors can interact with my SFW works, but please don't follow me. I will be checking blogs that follow for ages in their bio or intro post so if I see that you're a minor or don't have an indication of your age, I will be blocking you.
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

Genshin men with an S/O who has ADHD Pt. 2 (Zhongli, Varka, Alhaitham, Childe) (HCs)
Headcanons for how they’d be with reader who has ADHD
Genshin men x GN!Reader
Characters: Diluc, Kaeya, Wriothesley, Flins
WARNINGS: None
NOTES: In my HCs, ADHD would be called Restless Temperament Syndrome (RTS) in Teyvat. For simplicity’s sake, we’ll just call it ADHD for these headcanons
Part 2
Diluc Ragnvindr
Diluc has always been a respectful and understanding gentleman
he doesn’t know much about ADHD beyond basic general knowledge, but he understands that it’s a disability and an affliction—not something you have control over
he’s a patient man—he never blames you for your struggles with executive dysfunction, and never asks of you more than you can handle
has the maids prepare your medication with breakfast so you never forget to take them
also keeps track of said medication and orders refills before you run out of them
has the maids make light snacks for you to eat throughout the day since he knows the meds ruin your appetite
will gladly fund all of your numerous hobbies and hyperfixations
is a great candidate for body doubling
Kaeya Alberich
actually knows a decent amount about ADHD—enough to suspect that some people may be undiagnosed with it, and could tell you had it before you even told him
as a practiced conversationalist, he’s able to keep up with and keep track of all your tangents and topic jumps when you’re rambling
knows exactly how to ask the right questions and prompting to keep you talking, which he likes to do sometimes if only to just watch you excitedly prattle on about a topic
also is an expert at keeping your attention and will sometimes use it to his advantage when he’s craving some of your time, work be damned
lowkey will indulge and enable your impulsive tendencies bc he thinks it’s funny
is always there to bail you out of trouble though and never lets you do anything too dangerous
isn’t great for body doubling, but has his own manipulative tactics and tricks to keep you focused on your tasks
Wriothesley
doesn’t know much about ADHD—he’s only really ever heard of it in passing from prisoners talking about it
will ask Sigewinne about it when you tell him you have it and that it’s some sort of long-term mental affliction
wouldn’t really treat you any differently than if you were to not have it
can tell when you’re wanting to ramble and always sets aside time to listen to you, brewing you two a pot of tea and having a mini little tea party-info dump season
will notice when you’re getting restless and fidgety and will take you up to the surface for a walk to let out some of that hyperactivity
is also a great body doubling buddy
will brew you nighttime tea for when you’re too restless to sleep (it doesn’t really help much, but you appreciate the gesture)
is fascinated by all your hobbies and impressed you know how to do so many things
K. C. Flins
Flins knows virtually nothing about ADHD. It’s a more modern diagnosis that didn’t exist during his time with the Belyi Tsar (he’s an old man, cut him some slack) so you’ll need to explain it to him a little, but once you do, he’s more than understanding of it
he might even study up on it a little, reading through modern medicinal/diagnostic literature and consulting Ineffa
Flins loves humanity and everything about them—their flaws, their quirks and eccentricities, the very imperfection of them
and to him, you are no less human for having your affliction—if anything you are all the more human for it in his eyes
as he understands it, it’s a disability that affects your daily life, debilitating you at times and preventing you from living a normal life—and yet you persevere through your struggles and hardships—how very human of you
we know from the teapot dialogues that Flins is an absolute yapper—he’s down to yap about anything at all
he’d have a field day with your rambles and info-dumping—your yap sessions would last into days if he didn’t have his lightkeeper duties
is generally supportive and understanding, but isn’t always great for your focus—he’ll purposefully distract and divert your attention when he’s feeling particularly mischievous and wants your attention for himself
Closing Notes: I was gonna add Varka, but I was having trouble thinking of stuff for him. I might do more characters in the future depending on how well this does. Let me know if there’s any characters you’d like me to do :)
NOTE: I only included human or at least human-esque characters since it doesn’t make sense to diagnose the non-human characters with human disorders. I have names for what these disorders would be called in Teyvat, but for simplicity’s sake, I’m just gonna call them what we call them in these HCs
DISCLAIMER: These are purely headcanons. I am not a psychologist and I have no expertise in the area. This post is in no way meant to be taken as informative science. This was made for fun and are just based on my own personal experiences with these disorders and who I personally think would have them.
Diluc
• chronic depression with bouts of severe and seasonal (around Crepus’ death anniversary)
• PTSD (his father’s death)
• anxiety (esp. social anxiety)
he started taking meds for anxiety after his doctor insisted on them, but takes nothing for depression
Kaeya
• chronic depression, high functioning (undiagnosed)
low key self-medicates with alcohol and is a bit of an alcoholic bc of it
Rosaria
• chronic depression (undiagnosed)
• C-PTSD (undiagnosed)
similar to Kaeya, takes no medication and just self soothes with alcohol and cigarettes
Barbara
• severe anxiety
diagnosed years ago, but insists it’s nothing and doesn’t take meds for it
Fischl
• chronic depression (from being bullied)
• general anxiety
• autism
special interest in fairy tales and roleplaying
takes medication for both depression and anxiety
no medication exists for autism
Eula
• chronic depression (from being outcasted) (undiagnosed)
Sucrose
• severe social anxiety
makes her own medication through alchemy
Hu Tao
• AuDHD, inattentive type
• mild chronic depression, high functioning (undiagnosed)
takes medication for ADHD, but not for depression
Chongyun
• autism (undiagnosed)
Ayaka
• general and social anxiety (undiagnosed)
too anxious and wary of her public image to get diagnosed and get meds
Yoimiya
• ADHD, combination type
somehow manages without meds
Kokomi
• general and social anxiety
takes meds, but on the down-low—orders them in secret and has them delivered to a secondary location; no one can know she takes them
Alhaitham
• AUTISM
Kaveh
• ADHD, inattentive type
• general anxiety
too poor to afford meds
Collei
• depression (recovered)
had depression, but has since gotten help and with Cyno, Tighnari, and Amber as her support system, has fully recovered from it (yes it’s possible to make a full recovery from depression)
Headcanons for what I think certain mental disorders would be called in Teyvat and other HCs
NOTE: This didn’t include all mental disorders, just the few I’m familiar with and would involve in my stories/HCs
DISCLAIMER: These names and HCs are based on old timey medical terms and how I think a society not entirely educated on these disorders would call them. They are in no way meant to diminish these disorders to simple traits indicated by the names and are not intended to be offensive.
ADHD: Restless Temperament Syndrome (RTS)
Autism/ASD: Idiosyncratic Disposition
Depression: Melancholia
major depression: severe melancholia
chronic depression: long melancholia
seasonal depression: seasonal melancholia
Anxiety: Persistent Panic Disorder (PPD)
social anxiety: social induced panic disorder (SIPD)
OCD: Repetitive Mania Affliction (RMA)
Bipolar Disorder: Dual Character Syndrome (DCS)
BPD: Turbulent Mood Disorder (TMD)
PTSD: Combat Induced Madness (CIM)
DID: Possession Disorder
Additional HCs
“Eccentrics” is a term used for people with autism in Teyvat. It’s not necessarily derogatory, but can carry negative connotations
No medication exists for autism or DID (same as in real life)
Other than that, medication exists for the rest of the disorders listed above. The medication is made through a combination of medicine and alchemy (this is also how I imagine things like birth control exists in Teyvat)
Teyvat’s psychological medicine scene isn’t great. General doctors study some psychology to be able to give these diagnoses to people, but there aren’t really any specialists specializing in psychological medicine. As a result, there aren’t really any therapists and treatment is largely relegated to medication
Which character has what?
Closing Notes: These are the terms I’m gonna use when I eventually write stories with readers or characters who have these disorders. I’ve been wanting to incorporate neurodivergence and mental disorders in my genshin fics for so long. I just now finally took the time to work out the logistics. Let me know if you have any suggestions for other disorders and their names
You were refreshing to say the least. Like ice cold water splashed on his face, waking every fibre of his being. You were like cool air filling his lungs on a cold winter night, pulling and expanding it till it could hold no more; till his throat burned with lack of it—and then letting it all out—slowly, steadily—the breath turning to a dissipating mist, disappearing into the night.
Perhaps it was a childlike thing—this thing between you two—a sort of need for a friend his age (that wasn’t Chuuya) turned schoolboy crush. Or perhaps it was the sense that you, like him, was just as lost and stuck as he was. Perhaps he sought comfort from you in that sense. Whatever it was that drew him to you—walking you to classes in the mornings, sitting in cafés and libraries in the afternoons, and even occasionally climbing through your window at night—he couldn’t find it in himself to shake him off you.
He’d met you on a cloudy gloom of a day. He remembers it clearly, the encounter he’d had then.
You had emerged after the rain, like victory after a battle.
He watched you curiously as you went about your task—taking worms from the cold grey sidewalk and placing them instead upon damp earth and grass. He watched how you handled each worm with such care, such caution—as to a jeweler to his gems, an artisan to his crafts. How meticulously you searched for any potential creatures you might have missed. How contented the smile that settled on your face as you watched the worms wriggle about in the grass. He wondered then what inspired such action, curiosity carrying his feet to your form.
“Why are you doing that?” he asked.
You startled slightly at his voice, unaware you’d been watched as you did your thing. You’d turned to him, eyes wide in that sort of innocent way, filled with a hint of embarrassment that you’d been caught in the act of something so silly.
“Just being kind to life,” you answered.
“Why?”
“Why not?” You stood up then, patting down your pants and shrugged nonchalantly.
You looked down at the worms, your foot fiddling about, idly drawing on the puddles that formed.
“Well, to be completely honest, I just...rather feel bad for the worms that die on the sidewalk when the rain dries.”
He learned it slowly by your side, and he felt it now—the irrationality of passion—as he kissed you so fervently. His movements slightly rough and demanding as his lips chased yours, hands gripping at your waist tightly as he pushed you further into the corner he’d backed you into—all too eager to consume you—tasting all you had to offer.
You, however, remained gentle with him—your touches tender and mellow—never rushed, never aggressive. As if he were a precious, fragile artifact—delicate, sensitive, beautiful—and you were afraid to break him.
Your hand moved lightly, lingering on his chest, his shoulder, his chin, until finally settling on his cheek, thumb rubbing soft circles upon it, the other coming to wrap around his shoulders and tangling in his hair, tenderly running your fingers through it in a rhythmic pat.
And all he could feel was you—every aspect that made up your very being. The kindness in the way you touched him, the curiosity in every kiss you returned, the wonder in your gasps, the absolute unfiltered honesty in the way you pressed against him so desperately.
God, he could get lost in you forever.
You broke apart, breathless and panting heavily. His forehead rested on yours tiredly, eyes still shut as yours were, mouths still so tantalizingly close together. Your breathing synced, breaths mixing as you drew together subconsciously, trying to gather about your wits.
He leaned further into you, brushing your lips together, eyes opening to gaze at you.
“Stay,” he whispered. “Stay the night.”
You opened your eyes and met his gaze—a pleading look upon them, longing for your affirmation. It was a rare display of vulnerability from him—a sort of honesty so naked and unguarded.
You pressed into his touch and allowed your lids to fall over your eyes once more.
