Sea Hawk Spop - Tumblr Posts

The SPOP Creative Flex is doing a Summer SPOPtacular, and this weeks theme was mermaids/pirates. I had a couple of ideas for what I wanted to do but eventually settled on doing a Seamista Little Mermaid AU! This is actually my first time creating content with this couple at the center, and I’m pleased with how it turned out! More importantly, I’m pleased that I didn’t give up and kept working at it even when I felt like I wasn’t good enough, because the only way to get better at something is to practice!

Sea Hawk clearly has ADHD

Which isn't something I've seen people talk about much. So here's a list a list of his ADHD traits I've noticed.

Very impulsive.

Adora: We go on three. Ready? One... Sea Hawk: Forward! Adora: I said on three. Sea Hawk: I got excited.

His tendency to set ships on fire - poor impulse control. Also his love of fire could be connected to visual stimming?

ADHD seems to be common in pyromaniacs. (Sources include Pyromania: fascination with fire - The Diamond Rehab Thailand, Pyromaniac: Meaning, symptoms, and treatment, Pyromania - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics, and others. I went down a rabbit hole trying to get statistics on what percentage of pyromaniacs are diagnosed with ADHD, but found nothing.)

His thing with singing. Vocal stimming.

RSD! His fandom wiki article says he has “a strong desire to be liked due to him being quite far from home”, but rejection sensitive dysphoria also checks out.

Tends to be very loud - trouble controlling volume?

When is he like, actually still?

Randomly starts doing squats. Not just to show off or anything either; just… to move? And what normal neurotypical train of thought would lead to one just randomly doing squats there like that?

There's some other traits I totally imagine him having too, but those are fully in headcanon territory, not things we see in the show, so I'll stop here for now.
