crying screaming throwing up at the look at horror on Lukes face when he sees Annabeth,like what have I done? And then he looks at Percy with tears in his eyes IM NOT OKAY
Day 43: it's a miracle he's still alive (please pretend this is the correct day. I used up my daily post limit for the cause last night. I genuinely could not post this)
I get the feeling that Xavier is honestly trying his best to keep his distance from MC? Even in his myths.
He's trying to manage being a leader, getting his people back to their world, getting back to her side in the future, trying to stop the world from ending...
I feel like if they do get together in this time period, he has some walls to let down, he ever lets go of holding back, it's going to be after he accepts that he's just going to stay in whatever time period he's in. Things have to settle down in his mind or he's going to have some kind of mental "well I might as well enjoy things while I can."
I kinda feel like the tender moments where they're together are at some point in a future when he's just given in and either A. fixed enough problems to feel like he can relax or B. just accepted that he can't not be with her in spite of it all.
(I've also noticed that the cards where it's clear they're together is honestly very few. I have almost all his cards and in comparison to the other boys, the cards where it's clear you're on a date versus coincidentally running into each other or meeting up casually is far fewer).
I'm probably reading into it too much but I wonder if he thinks it's not fair(?) to want to be with her if he feels he'll really get back to his "truer" timeline or whatever world him and his people are trying to get back to through the Deepspace portal. Like I wonder if he's thinking it might break her heart, or that he can't bear getting closer to her just to leave her again? (Cause it's always already been several times that he's had to).
But she's so close, she's so close in his reach. And I think maybe there's just times he loses it a little bit and that's why I headcanon his cards are a bit spicier. Either from being at that point of acceptance "fine I'm staying with her" or just, the hundreds of years of yearning is too strong.
More than 80 percent of adults with ADHD in my practice report multiple awakenings until about 4 a.m. Then they fall into “the sleep of the dead,” from which they have extreme difficulty rousing themselves.
They sleep through two or three alarms, as well as the attempts of family members to get them out of bed. ADHD sleepers are commonly irritable, even combative, when roused before they are ready. Many of them say they are not fully alert until noon.
4. Intrusive Sleep with ADHD
Paul Wender, M.D., a 30-year veteran ADHD researcher, relates ADHD to interest-based performance. As long as persons with ADHD were interested in or challenged by what they were doing, they did not demonstrate symptoms of the disorder. (This phenomenon is called hyperfocus by some, and is often considered to be an ADHD pattern.) If, on the other hand, an individual with ADHD loses interest in an activity, his nervous system disengages, in search of something more interesting. Sometimes this disengagement is so abrupt as to induce sudden extreme drowsiness, even to the point of falling asleep.
Marian Sigurdson, Ph.D., an expert on electroencephalography (EEG) findings in ADHD, reports that brain wave tracings at this time show a sudden intrusion of theta waves into the alpha and beta rhythms of alertness. We all have seen “theta wave intrusion,” in the student in the back of the classroom who suddenly crashes to the floor, having “fallen asleep.” This was probably someone with ADHD who was losing consciousness due to boredom rather than falling asleep. This syndrome is life-threatening if it occurs while driving, and it is often induced by long-distance driving on straight, monotonous roads. Often this condition is misdiagnosed as “EEG negative narcolepsy.” The extent of incidence of intrusive “sleep” is not known, because it occurs only under certain conditions that are hard to reproduce in a laboratory.
I do love translation and I do love studying it and I do love how every culture has its own specific characteristics you will not find in another one, I do love the diversity, I swear, but it is damn inconvenient when you are supposed to translate it-
