New Year, New Prompt List!

well, sort of. last year, I started writing down the weird or funny shit people said around me and that I occasionally contributed to and turned it into a prompt list, and since it's a new year, I figured what better way to celebrate? you know the drill, send in a number and a ship/dynamic/character, or reblog this and have fun!

(btw this is college prompts pt. 3, second year fall semester edition. the first two lists from this series are here and here)

Quotes I associate with the Batkids because I think Bruce and the violence of the vigilante life irreparably messed them up but I also think they are all love perservering in their own ways

A little marker doodle of Chappelle Roan I did this morning on our live.

About 80 minutes using Ohuhu Markers.

I hope you like it

me again, bothering you, but i am very interested in adhd james if you would like to share some of your hcs💖💖💖

you're not bother me at all! asks honestly give me so much serotonin. they really make my day :)

James was diagnosed really young. like, it was extremely obvious from the get-go that that child was not neurotypical

When he was a kid, he was very hyperactive. As he grew older, however, he sort of grew out of it. He has his high-energy days, but nothing to the caliber of child james

James was a menace as a kid

He was probably a backpack leash kid. you know exactly what I'm talking about

His parents are the ones who encouraged him to do sports a kid, just so he'd release some of that never-ending energy

James cycles through hyperfixations rapidly, and he hyperfixates on people a lot. Lily? He hyperfixated on her before. Sirius? You bet your ass. Literally anyone he's friends with, he probably hyperfixated on them at one point

My boy probably takes medication

Time just slips away from him. He's not a very punctual person because of that, but he really does try

He's the kind of person to have 1093843892 alarms on his phone that remind him to do the weirdest things. At least 6 of them are for waking up in the morning

delayed responses

"What?" "I said--" "Oh, the answer is [blank]"

James likes reading, but he cannot finish a book for the life of him

not interested? then he won't pay attention

horrible short term memory. frequently washes his hair twice because he couldn't remember if he already did. did he eat dinner already? don't ask James, he has no idea.

The Leg BounceTM

Impulsive. Sometimes dangerously so. No sense of self preservation

His spaces are organized chaos. It's messy, but he knows where everything is. At least, he knows most of the time

He may act like a very confident person, but James actually has a pretty low self image (yes, that's an adhd trait). One small mistake makes him question everything about himself

Horrible driver, but insists he's amazing. He drives like he's in a fast and furious movie

boredom is his worst enemy.

Is totally the kid that would forget a pencil all the time

Probably does his homework at the very last minute (on the drive to school, before the bell rings, etc etc), but somehow gets good grades on it???

makes Big Gestures when talking. He has, like, no control over his limbs and often hits people on accident. Profusely apologizes afterwards.

Watches television with the captions on. He can't understand what anyone is saying without them

When he's hyperfocused, he makes the strangest faces. Sirius always tells him that he'll get premature wrinkles if he keeps scrunching his face up like that

His notes app is a mess

His train of thought is constantly moving. It never stops. Never.

His biggest pet peeve is when people tell him he's "not trying" HE IS SHUT UP

James's adhd gets worse when he's playing sports. All the noise, all the moving, all the excitement-- it really sets off his hyperactivity, which is kind of a blessing when he's playing. It's like a life hack

Listen, for people wanting to call out colonialism, there are way too many of you mocking Irish, Welsh, and Scottish names.

No, they’re not alphabet soup, no they do not look like “you’ve thrown letters at a wall and used what stuck,” they are living, breathing languages which we did CPR on after the British Empire shot them.

Like, people DIED to keep them alive.

Every time I see some (English/American) interviewer make an entire segment forcing Saoirse Ronan to list off Irish names, I die a little inside. It’s particularly galling to see the same people ooh-ing over how “mystical” they sound, or claiming ancient heritage to us.

Realise there’s a world beyond your myopic lens and just accept sometimes you’ve got new stuff to learn. Fuck knows I do.

I have three braincell and it's these three idiots bickering over tits
