autistic! theo nott hcs because i want to

in first year he claimed a table at the library and sat at it so many times he couldnt sit anywhere else. one day he comes in to see some random sitting in 'his' seat and accidentally pops the poor lads inkpot out of rage. there was a hasty reparo from theo and a very quick exit after that

has broken so many quills from bending them between his fingers its unreal. he buys them in batches of ten or twenty and has broken all of them by terms end

hates getting his hair cut but also hates feeling his hair on the back of his neck. every month or so its a constant internal turmoil

really likes potions but hates touching the slimy ingredients so often ends up compromising with his partner with him doing the "boring stuff" like precise weighing or stirring to get out of touching the awful textures.

hates divination bcs there are no solid rules. the phrase "its up to interpretation" puts him into fight-or-flight mode

once stupefied someone as a reflex when they grabbed his shoulder. he was very deep into a good book and it scared the shit out of him. do not grab him ever

has learned how to use silencing charms that follow him so he doesnt have to hear the loud noises in the corridoors. this also makes it very hard to get his attention

uses sarcasm often but half of it is by accident. he just doesn't tell them its accidental

"hey, wanna go to x?"

"well. doesnt that sound exciting?"

"no need to get snarky, theo. i'm just saying it could be fun"

*was being completely serious* "fine, then. i suppose there's no harm in trying it"

brilliant poker face purely because he forgets to show emotion half the time in any way thats noticeable if you arent either used to it or looking for it

very twitchy. like, he cannot sit still. he can try. but it wont last long.

'quiet kid' until you ask him about time travel or something he's interested in. then you can't get him to shut up. i am a firm believer in theo nott who wanted to be an unspeakable but was put off by the confines of the ministry so decided to research mad shit by himself

loves the dungeons' low light level. no light means less headaches.

has the exact same breakfast every day: two toasts and a tea. except on holidays and his birthday, in which he has fruit pastries, or on sundays, where he has jam and toast

only found out he was autistic bcs a random kid he was working with asked him if he was 'on the spectrum' and he was so confused on what 'the spectrum' was that he fell down a research rabbithole and realised, oh, i am the spectrum

"sorry if this is overstepping, but are you on the spectrum?"

"the what"

"yknow, the autism spectrum"

"pardon my english, but what the fuck is an autism"

*two weeks of looking into it later*

*staring into a mirror* "ah"

hated the yule ball.absolutely despised it. went anyway because it was a once in a lifetime thing, but mainly hated it apart from the bit at the end where everyone left.

does that thing where if one side of him taps something, he. has to tap the other side to feel balanced again. if you do it you'll get what i mean, if you dont doit im sorry i cant explain it

loves pressure. sleeps with two blankets so he can feel properly buried

#theo nott #theodore nott #autistic theo nott my beloved #autistic theo nott #autism is claiming urfav characters as autistic even if they show little to no signs in the canon media #or in this case have no lines at all inthe original media #so much projection in this post i could run a cinema #theodore nott headcanons #theo nott headcanons

more autistic!theo hcs for autism acceptance month ^^ some general hcs as well because why not

his special interests are time magic and norse mythology

he has terrible noise and light sensitivity issues but has a really poor sense of taste

he likes the school uniform because he doesn't have to pre-plan outfits for certain days which saves time

he thinks he's good at masking but he isn't. he just doesn't talk to people enough for that to be apparant

cannot use tone for the life of him. he tried for a while but ended up sounding really sarcastic, so he gave up because he didn't have the energy tbh

really hates crunchy foods because the crunchy sounds are the only thing he can hear when he eats them which pisses him off

likes puns and thinks they're hilarious

he is never not cold. it could be 30 degrees celsius and he'd feel lukewarm at best

hates red so much because its bright and bold and hurts his eyes. doesn't like lime green either, but is alright with emerald because it's darker.

his favourite colour is actually dusty blue (57697e to be specific)

doesn't mind thestrals but they freaked him out at first because nobody else seemed to see the scary horses that looked like death which read as a bad sign. then he found out why he could see them and calmed slightly

doesn't like caramel because it's sticky, but he does like buttercandy

studied insects in the manor gardens as a child. if he ever had to go to any playdates with other children from high-status families most of the time he'd wander off and go find bugs whevever he got bored. he liked to collect worms to feed to the big ants and beetles

is the type of person to point out when you use bug and insect interchangeably and get it wrong. hates that bugs is the colloquial term for insects

his first showing of magic was when he apparated at age five away from a gala because it was too crowded and ended up on the roof

sits in the exact same spot in the dining hall every day

doesn't eat much meat because he doesn't like how chewy it is

actually likes potions quite a bit, but he's annoyed they aren't allowed to wear gloves when handling ingredients

was the kid who spent too much time making sure their stationary was in order before every lesson so it'd take him like five minutes to get ready every time

counts in groups of threes if he has to count smthn (like if he has a pile of marbles he has to count he does that by sectioning them off in groups of three. i cant explain it but iykyk)

the fun thing about theo is that i can hc whatever i want and because they had like three lines in the whole series nobody can tell me that it wouldn’t be canon because there is no canon. autistic theo nott? transfem theo nott? theo nott who likes to paint? i don’t have to worry abt being canon compliant bcs there’s literally nothing there

autistic! theo nott will never not hold a place in my heart. except there is no content of it anywhere so i just sit stewing in my own headcanons for it. projecting onto ur fav characters is fun until you get obsessed and now you’re aching for content that doesn’t exist.
