Tim Drake, Caffein And ADHD

Tim Drake, Caffein and ADHD

Ok so, I know Tim is a coffee/energy drink addict (not sure if this is cannon or not but i don't really care). I was thinking about this a few days ago while thinking about my own ADHD relationship to stimulants/caffein.

What if Tim Drake is not addicted to caffein because he is trying to stay awake. He for sure has insomnia but what if its unrelated to the caffein?

What if he has undiagnosed and therefor untreated ADHD? His thoughts run a thousand miles a minute and he uses caffein to slow his thoughts down long enough to make sense of.

His parents were never around to see the signs. By the time he's Robin he's figured out how to self medicate with coffee. Dick (who is also hella ADHD) kicks himself for not noticing it. While Dick's ADHD presents as hyperactivity, Tim's presents in him being unable to regulate his focus. This is not in the "I can't pay attention way" that most people think of but the "I will hyper-focus on this thing to the point that I will forget to eat, sleep, drink, use the restroom etc" way.

Eventually someone figures out that he's got ADHD and he gets on the proper stimulants, (Adderall, Ritalin or Vyvance) and gets him on a good sleep med for insomnia and he slowly starts drinking less coffee because he doesn't need to anymore.

IDK just ADHD Tim Drake

OMG I love this literally so much and I hope you don't mind that I want to take it a bit further!

What if it goes beyond that? What if they can't be away from Gotham for that long or they will get sick? Even with their tether item. They can be out of the city for, say, three months but at the three month mark they start to get sick. It starts out as just a mild cold. Runny nose, mild lethargy, maybe a tickle in their throats but its nothing more than a nuisance. But the longer they stay out the worse it gets, Maybe by week two past the three month mark they get a low grade fever that slowly just keeps rising. By month four they have nearly debilitating flu symptoms. They HAVE to go back.

Maybe theres a recuperation period. If they've only been out for three months and a few days the symptoms will clear up in a day but longer than that its a week or more. If say their out for three and a half months and go back for a few days then leave again their still gonna feel like shit. If they keep doing that: staying out for too long and coming back for not long enough eventually its gonna get to the point where it will take multiple months to fully heal. (So much potential for angst)

IDK I just love the idea of Gotham having claimed them so completely. They need Her just as much as She needs them.

Batman AU where the batfam is an extension of Gotham’s will so they can’t leave the city without taking a piece of it with them

Bruce, ever practical, has a batarang made from a steel piece off the bat signal (not that he’d be able to throw it but it’s a backup nonetheless)

Dick, Jay, and Tim have made it Robin tradition to carry pebbles in their pockets (the justice league has come to associate the soft jingling of rocks with the arrival of the Dark Knight)

Steph finds pretty rocks and quartz to crack open and share with Cassandra- and they cycle through their newest finds (cass does keep a shiny piece of obsidian in her utility belt, it was the first one Steph gave her)

Duke keeps a corner from a road sign in his pouch, the reflective yellow paint matches his theme- (what better representation of the city than perpetual construction)

Damian reverently carries a piece of deep green sea glass from the harbor. The color reminds him of his mother, and he finds the beauty fitting. (The irony that the only way for him to leave his new home is an echo of the reason he’s there in the first place is not lost on him.)

Hazbin Hotel Season 2 predictions

Ok so my friend forced me to watch Hazbin Hotel and now i'm hooked. This is what I think/hope(?) happens in season two!

my theory is that because of his deal with Alastor, Husker just straight up can't loose when gambling. So my thought for season two is he gambles Val for Angel's Soul. He wins it but no he's not done yet. He turns around and immediately gambles it for the rest of the souls that Val owns. He wins again. He's still not done. Val is /desperate/ now. Husk uses this to his advantage. He gambles all the souls he just won in exchange for Val's own soul. He wins (This all takes place over the course of a song). Now when Husker was an overlord he dealt in souls so I think it would be poetic if his big redemption moment was setting free all the souls he'd just gambled for, except for Val's. Vals soul he trades Alastor in exchange for being free from their agreement. Alastor, knowing that if he as Val he has power over Vox, takes the deal.

Lilith will come back to hell. At first she will gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss the others, especially Charlie. Charlie eventually realizes that Lilith was actually an abuser and not only the reason she and Lucifer were never close but also why the exterminations happened in the first place. Charlie is feels very betrayed (this is another song).

We know that Alastor sold is soul, I think he made a deal with Lilith. He will then use his deal with Charlie to get out of his Deal with Lilith somehow.

There is another meeting with heaven. It doesn't go well. There is a big verbal fight between Sara/Angel army and Charlie/Vaggie/Lucifer/all the others. In a big defining moment Emily has to make a choice to side with Heaven and stay and angel or side with Hell and fall. Sara is trying to convince her to stay and angle and Lucifer (being The Fallen Angel) is begging her not to fall. He knows what its like please don't do it. Emily makes her choice and Falls (her demon form is badass). This is the turning point that makes a lot of other angles question Heaven. Even better if God is there (I will look God in the eye and walk backwards into hell 😂). All of this takes place during the best song of the season. (bonus: Lucifer sees Emily willingly fall and goes "NEW DAUGHTER!!!" and immediately takes Emily under his wing)

We know that souls that have redeemed themselves go to heaven. I think that also means that Souls that have tainted themselves in heaven end up in Hell. Namely Adam. Fuck that guy.

Cherri Bomb, Carmella and her Daughters will join the hotel. They feel like good candidates for redemption.

While the Vee's are trying to take over Hell, Velvette is playing an even bigger game. After season 1 she knows Alastor can beat Vox and looses faith in them. Vox and Val seem to be keeping their relationship on the down low and we see Velvette taking pictures of them at the end. She blackmails them and takes over their whole empire for herself.

At the end of the season Charlie is given the option to go to heaven (my thought is since Lucifer and Lilith both started out as angels, Charlie is actually also an angel not a demon). She refuses. Her place is in Hell with her people. She takes over as Queen of Hell and Lucifer gets to retire and play with his rubber ducks.

The very teary is end is most of the main characters have redeemed themselves and can go to heaven now. Its bittersweet because they are free and have succeeded but they won't be able to see Charlie either as much or at all once they go. This is the saddest song of the season.

The Batmobile operates on clown car logic. You’d think it would only fit 2-5 people but no. Every bat and bird can, has and will fit in there. No one is sure how and they just stoped questioning it.
