I don't wanna further hijack that poor poll, but the thing about Harrow's schizophrenia is that it's canon. The author has confirmed it, and shared that it's based on her own experience.
It's a pretty obscure bit of canon, so of course there's no shame in not already knowing, but that's why I'm so obnoxiously persistent about letting people know.
Whatever else is up with Harrow, autism or cptsd or any number of likely headcanons, she is also schizophrenic. I feel like that's too important to be handwaved away as a difference of opinion.

I kinda popped off with these ngl
+ Explanations
I think I've talked about Fernando's before on here but. I really miss when he had the black fireproofs bcs it just made hom feel so much more intimidating/larger-than-life to me. The way he prowled around the paddock, just very big cat to me! Though I once told my mom this and she said, "more like a bobcat, he's so small." 😭
Seb is a fennec fox because...idk why it just suits him. He is both kitty and puppy, so I think foxes in general suit him bcs they're described as, "just cat software running on dog hardware." And fennec foxes are blondies too! The way they make little laughing noises, and also the way their ears/tails are way too big for their body also remind me of him.
Jense has always and will always be a wolf to me bcs his wolfish smile. He's just got that big, bad wolf vibe. He wants to snap you up! On the whole dog-cat scale, to me he just feels like neither really suits him. Wolves are so noble to me!!
Mark is dog boy, what else needs to be said!? Though there is something to be said about how the rest of them are wdcs and are wild animals, and he's.... domesticated. Something something wild animals seen as more noble and impressive- He really is just whatever dog breed he has irl, they are his comrades.

genshin fandom are HEAVILY sleeping on audhd ajax childe tartaglia
(headcanons in the read more!)
i meaaaan;
stimming
- he likes making stuff out of water and fidgeting with them, especially if he's bored; spinning water weapons (like he does in one of his idle animations), making little water creatures (he probably makes them fight), mimicking things around him/in his mind out of water
- he messes with his cape as a stim (like in that other idle animation)
- him just repeating something just because he likes saying it, like 'coco goat' or some word zhongli taught him
impulsivity
- THE most impulsive guy ever
- impulsive to the point where he'll just throw himself into danger because he has free will
- will see some big horrifying monster, think 'i wonder if i could take that' (in a fight), then will attack unless someone stops him
- constantly gets himself into trouble because he reacts before he thinks
- i headcanon that him using foul legacy against the traveler was him genuinely losing his shit and wasn't planned
(and he probably just laid on the roof of the golden house like 'owww ouagh owww' until the battle with osial was done... also zhongli was watching liyue defend itself on a nearby mountain, like how a worried mother might watch her kids cook for the first time, and just happened to see the orange cat on the roof)
hyperactivity
- has a brain that never stops
- ultra instincts adhd, like rick riordan says
- if he ever stops moving, he'll die
- complains if he has to stay still
- probably fidgets non-stop
- the tsaritsa is an ally and has plenty of random crap to fiddle with on harbinger coats
socializing
- canonically the odd one out among his peers (granted, his peers are all scheming goth people)
- i swear he (canonically) constantly misses social cues and takes things literally...
- he misses social cues more than he misses crits
- blunt and straightforward, and prefers that way of communicating
- headcanon that zhongli lying to him actually hurt his feelings and his reaction was genuine... (and that reaction is a little too relatable, as someone who's neurodivergent... 😔🤨)
- this is probably an english-only thing, but his little 'haha' in stressful circumstances is him masking/coping with the situation and doing a brain reset, or just his default 'how the fuck am i meant to react to that' response (citation: I DO THAT!!)
- somehow masks and unmasks at the same time, like how he's wearing his literal mask on his head
- will just come out with the most profound and deep truths, this jumpscares people (especially ones who think he's a total dumbass)
- childe unmasking is just him with no expression, doing things in almost complete silence, even before the abyss he brought the vibe to the function that neurotypicals hate
- ^ he'll never unmask around his fellow harbingers because he doesn't like them but also he likes annoying them
hyperfixations/special interests
- easy 'he's obsessed with battle' connection, c'mannn
- and easy 'he's got an interest in weaponry', duhhhh
- but imagine him just being able to identify any fish, too.
- hyperfixated on liyue history, cuisine and culture during his stay there, probably kept getting zhongli to talk about whatever he was hyperfixating on that week (btw zhongli's autistic too, it's because he's hot, sorry i don't make the rules)
- picks up 1 million hobbies and hyperfixates on them either for a week or until he's mastered them (the one week ones get shelved until he masters them)
nerfed by celestia, AKA idk what to title this section
- i just can't see childe being able to sit there and finish paperwork like a regular guy
- northland bank managers fear him (he hands in paperwork one minute before the deadline)
- pulcinella probably handles his important harbinger documents because childe lost too many of them
- exchanged his quick moving and dodging in battle for a weekly sacrifice (he trips over something or breaks things through clumsiness; him and lynette are comrades in arms for breaking machines)
- his sleep schedule is that he doesn't have one
- he turns into some hunter-gatherer eater, unless someone with a normal routine is around, then he follows them and has regular meals at regular times (as opposed to him cooking borscht at 11AM

anybody else already fed up of being lied to and undermined by privileged liberal shits?
no, as a disabled queer person I (and my friends) will not be any better off under starmer's leadership, no matter how many times you tell me to "relax" and "enjoy the win for a second before catastrophising 🙄"

haikaveh... save me haikaveh...
i KNOW it's been talked about to death but. the haikaveh research project. it literally haunts my mind. i cannot get over the implications. alhaitham going through his school life as someone that most people dont even really know about because he keeps to himself and doesn't socialize, with kaveh being the one exception to that, finding his way into his life as his Best Friend, and then leading to alhaithams one and only time he participated in a research topic. his bio says he only ever did ONE joint project!!! one!!! the one with kaveh his best friend and i think also his only friend at the time!!!! and then it ended in not only the project falling apart but also alhaithams only friendship. kavehs best friendship. they were each others closest person. they had no family around - alhaithams parents having died when he was young and his grandmother dying before he joined the akademiya, and kaveh's dad dying when he was young and his mom having moved to fontaine. like even if you dont look at it through a romantic lens it's still undeniable how important they were [and are] to each other..........
i'm getting off track but my point is very specifically for alhaitham, the one time he got close to someone, made a friend, even agreed to join one(1) group project ever, it ended in disaster. it led him into a fight so bad that his one and only friend said he regretted that friendship!!!! it was so bad alhaitham left the project and he and kaveh didnt speak for ages until they just happened to run into each other again at the tavern!!!!! like obviously it has to be incredibly awful for both of them but i just think how this probably had alhaitham in the cynical mindset that friendships and collaborations like that might just never work out for him because the one time he let someone into his life, it blew up on him and he was all alone again. even though alhaitham never seems to care much if people dont like him, that clearly cant still apply to someone he was exceptionally close to. like if he didnt care he woudlnt have been the one to take his name off the project and mutually not speak to kaveh...... kavehs words are the ones that hit the most significantly to alhaitham.......... kaveh is said/implied to have had at least some other friends while at school / people knew who he was, but not so much alhaitham. people didnt know him and the ones that did just knew he didnt socialize/he was not easy to get along with. he only had kaveh and then, for a while, he lost him too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
