I need to see more demigods who bite. Like jason totally feels the need to bite stuff, and leo half-jokingly suggests getting him a chew toy (like a dog). Nico absolutely bites to show affection, (maybe not willy nilly like jason but still) like just randomly biting people he's close with shoulders or hands because he just loves them so much (jason both bite to express affection and stim)
Anyways petition to normalize neurodivergent people who bite as a form of expressing affection or stimming.
oh absolutely. I actually have a tier list of "which of the Argo II crew & co are most likely to bite:"
Jason gnaws on people to show affection. He is extremely "Everything I love belongs in my mouth and everything I hate belongs between my teeth." He mostly stopped doing it for awhile cause of the whole "being trained to be the Perfect Praetor™" and having to mask a lot more, but he picked it up again a bit when he and Reyna became friends cause she didn't care and then more with the Argo II crew. He definitely hoards chewlery. He also definitely bit Krios real bad when they were fighting, if not outright killed him with his teeth.
Nico is a younger sibling. He has no qualms against biting in fights, any fight, but he does associate biting with fights. Jason tries to friendly-bite him one time and Nico just takes it as declaration of war and they end up tussling for like five minutes. After he gets used to Jason though he picks it up a bit too, mostly just chewing on people's hands. Also I 100% hc that when he was in Tartarus he just went full teeth-and-claws mode to survive. Honestly he bites more in regular combat and even training than Jason does, mostly just cause he's not above fighting dirty. If it works, it works. Also I hc he has sharp canines and is small so he might as well.
Frank's third but only on technicality cause shapeshifting. When he's human he's pretty much equal level to everybody else which is "only bites as a last resort."
Everybody else is pretty on-par with each other but Percy is probably just sliiightly more likely to bite not for any particular reason, he just considers it a valid fight tactic in a pinch (unlike Nico, who just considers it a general fight tactic). Also he got the oral stim adhd vibes. He has a lot of chewlery. They're all sea-themed, of course. Thalia is also pretty equal to Percy in terms of "biting as a valid fighting tactic."
Annabeth is also like. She's less likely to bite than Percy but more likely to than the rest of the crew. It's just a valid battle tactic under certain scenarios to her (and that includes training). She does consider it a low-blow though. She's also definitely got the oral stim adhd too. Lots of chewlery, rip her pencils and pens, etc etc. Her and Percy probably have a shared chewlery collection.
Piper is not the bitey type but she does have little to no formal combat training so yknow, wet cat technique. I do also totally believe she'd also have a chewing stim though. Like yknow how I draw her with the little braid sidebangs? Yeah she definitely chews on those and that's part of why she wears her hair like that. The other reason is that braiding it is one of her other stims.

i love the new pjo tv show don't get me wrong but i feel like it's missing the like, campiness of the original? that got translated pretty well into the musical but honestly 2-3 lines of witty dialogue per episode isn't really getting the original Ridiculousness of the book across.
like it's been pointed out that they seem to immediately know & recognize every myth they encounter, which is part of it, but like...episode 7 in particular made me sigh a lot because they cut so much of the humor! things like annabeth just immediately training cerberus to stay put and them bald-face lying to Charon that they are all dead, actually, they drowned in a bathtub. Together. it was such a nice like, breather before they get into the Very Serious Underworld Scenes and instead...nope, just more ACTION.
and they took out stuff in other episodes that made the tone lighter-things like percy and annabeth getting grossed out by the mirrors in the tunnel of love ride, the dam snack bar jokes, grover eating cans, them playing around in the lotus hotel, etc. i feel like half the fun of the original books was that, at any given conflict, the main characters were either going to sword fight their way out or completely bullshit their way out in the most convoluted ridiculous way possible. which was hilarious and also suspenseful-is percy going to pick up riptide, or is he going to start talking baseball? and them giving impassioned dialogue all the time instead of goofing around a bit just weighs down the whole tone of the show.
i feel like the show is very action-adventure whereas the original book was more of an adventure romp. i also feel like with the new heaviness that's come with multiple POVs (like seeing percy and sally's backstory) the show would really benefit from like, sad shot of sally and poseidon talking then BOOM cut to percy complaining about getting sand on his favorite pair of jeans while on the beach with ares. or something else.

The three types of neurodivergence (as represented by my niece, my sister in law, and myself)
When presented with a board game my niece (adhd- primarily hyperactive) says fuck the rules and plays however she wants
My sister in law (adhd- primarily inattentive) has to follow the rules exactly becomes very stressed watching her daughter ignore the rules
And I forgot the board game all together and am simply organizing the pieces

Do you know this (noncanon) ADHD character?
Tumblr media
Evidence below the cut!
Submitter said:
The most ADHD coded bastard there is. He is forgetful, he is impulsive, he has moodswings, he is hyperactive. He randomly zones out sometimes. He is late to places often (might be for dramatic effect by the devs). Might be to subvert the original Sherlock Holmes being autism-coded.
They then added: Also, he is a single father.

Why is it that movement - particularly pacing - is seen as anxiety or nervousness?
Whenever I pace people ask if something’s wrong or say it makes them nervous or tell me to just stop
But like nothing is wrong????? I’m just vibing???
I like to move around while conversing is that a crime

I know folks toss around ADHD tips on this webbed site so my 2 cents?
Brain can't pick one of the many tasks that need doing to focus on?
Stupid roulette wheel app.
For some reason, spinning a silly colorful wheel means I can do the thing it picks. Spent hours in scrolling-brain-paralysis mode, booted up my wheel, and lo and behold I put things in the wash. Remove the decisions from the bees in your brain and put them in the capable hands of THE WHEEL.

Kara has ADHD in every episode: "Six Degrees of Separation"
Bonus: Starbuck's notes
Engine power-up sequence began by squeezing something that looks like a red ligament with blue veins on the right side coming out of a sack of gooey fluid shaped like a dog. Squeeze the ligament with your hand while you slide your weight on your left hip into the lymphatic sack.

on the one hand, tumblr's "turn off endless scrolling" setting is very good for yanking me out of doom scrolling into oblivion
on the other hand I would like to doom scroll into oblivion and how dare you do as I commanded you via the settings and yank me OUT of that and remind me indirectly that I have things to do
