When you point out how neurodiversity affects whole areas of the brain, not just what we see as the presentation symptoms, it seems so obvious. I've known that many neurodivergent conditions have high rate of co-morbidities, but haven't thought about what that would mean. I really liked your explanation of what else dyslexia affects, it made me recategorise some of my sister's mom behaviours. I see time blindness, some executive dysfunction, organisation difficulties and go, yup, I've got that too, it's normal, and forget that most people don't struggle with that (I've suspected I have undiagnosed ADHD for years, but never got checked for it, since I suggested it my dad freaked out, insisting there was nothing wrong with me. I really should though)
May I ask how your synaesthesia manifests for you? I'm always curious about how neurodiversity manifests in people and how it affects them, because there are so many minor and major things not talked about. I apologise if that question makes you uncomfortable, you don't have yo answer it.
Anyway, thank you for your explanation! It made a lot of things click all at once for me.
If you want lots of examples of how my synaesthesia works, I have a tag you could trawl here. But, I have a few different types; the common numbers-have-colours one, but I also get textures and sensations and feelings, and about... literally everything. Numbers, words, people's voices, names, personalities, the plots of media, images, everything.
Soooo, yeah. Sensory overload is the big impact; trial and error over the years has shown me it's primarily auditory, so if I can wear earplugs I can cope for longer in 'busy' environments. The other thing is that it really does a number on my mathematical ability, though, because, I shit you not, the colours get in the way. When I was a small child I was shown that 3 + 5 = 8, and my brain went "Yes, orange + pink = brown, got it" and ever since then if I see a 3 and a 5 together in a sum it DOES NOT MATTER what the operator is, I immediately assume the answer is 8. 3 plus 5? 8. 3 minus 5? Also 8. 3 times 5? Buddy you'll never guess. But it's 8.
It takes conscious effort not to do this T_T
The other thing is that I really, REALLY suffer from this thing where someone goes "Hey, we should watch Program X" but the problem is, you see, the problem is, I cannot stand the sensation I get from the name Program X, and therefore I will not watch it out of disgust that is totally unrelated to the actual show. This applies to all media, places, human beings, etc. (It is obviously a thing I have to be careful of when it's human beings.)
I think everything else I have is ADHD-related though, so that's probably everything I can put down to the synaesthesia.

I'm forever black-eyed, a product of a broken home
summary: boxer!lip gallagher headcanons and foundation building <3
title from: "Black-Eyed" by Placebo
word count: 1.4k
content warnings: I mean, like boxing is an aggressive sport so, she gets dirty at the end so MDNI!!!, choking kink mention, cumplay mentioned
side note: was originally soft and world building and doing research for boxing but,,,,, olive politely ruined all those thoughts
just some simple thoughts to begin! to test the waters!
-a middleweight boxer, just to begin. on a good week he could qualify for light heavyweight but he's properly enrolled in the middeweight division
-which just, is no commentary on JAW, however doing some looking into and looking for the general weight of a healthy 5'7" man puts him somewhere in the middleweight/barely light heavyweight division. but if we consider the Gallagher household income and diet they probably have, Lip is 100% in the middleweight division
-Lip is most well known for his jabs and uppercuts, his style is very agressive
-he's also known for taking a heavy beating in just about every fight he has.
-carl was big into Rambo, constantly playing First Blood when he could. so he naturally tried to see if any of Stallone's movies where similar. Lip was somehow enamored with Rocky when they borrowed it from the library.
-Carl didn't love Rocky like at all lmao, he wanted more fighting in there. Debbie loved Rocky and Adrian's relationship, she thinks they're adorable and romantic.
-This idea hinges on Lip being more aggressive in high school, getting into a lot more fights. This might be due to bullying or just being an overall aggressive kid with little dog syndrome
-At a certain point he's threatened with juvie and or foster care or he can put his anger into something more productive. Lip chose the latter.
-Kevin suggests boxing and even offers to help teach him if he wanted
-he does that thing that boys do where he thinks he can do it all by himself because he watched a movie about it a few times (he's seen every Rocky movie he can get his hands on)
-however jumping right into boxing is much harder than he thought it would be (surprise!) (dummy /affectionate)
-Lip is out of shape, has smokers lungs, and just,,,,, does not know how to throw a proper punch lmao
-so the first day at the gym he's dying
-soooo he goes to Kevin with his tail between his legs and begs him to teach him how to box
-now Kevin is FIT like
-like FIT.
-and Kevin is more than happy to help train Lip
-so through out high-school he spends his free time at the gym after he's done his homework and the work of kids who have paid him
-he gets fit, builds some muscle, adopts a slightly healthier diet
-once he's in college he gets a slightly less regimented schedule due to being out of the house
-he gets a little out of shape, doesn't do as many workouts and sparing matches as he should
-so when he drops out of college he goes back starts getting back into shape to actually start fighting!!
-sigh not to bring back Patsy's reader but like you probably work at Patsy's or maybe the Alibi Room??? some where he and his family frequent a lot!
-and he's just kind of like,,,, a little punk who wants your attention so bad lowkey cause like
-you mind your business! nice, respectful, keeps to themselves
-what he doesn't know is you're so drawn to him cause you've been watching the muscled guy dote on his baby brother and his sister and his other brother
-but also he's a punkass!!
-so you eventually entertain him and go on dates with him and he's
-yeah he's cocky about his stats but he's also just so sweet
-he starts doing fights for money a little before you guys start dating
-uses half his fighting earnings for his family, the other half he's got his own squirrel fund going
-when you guys are dating, he uses that other half to spoil you <3
-this next one is from Maggie's brain but I love it
-watching him during training, when he doesn't really need to wear his gloves, and seeing him send people flat to the ground is,,,,
-mind boggling, as his partner
-because you know that those hands are soft and loving
-just that morning, he was holding your face softly and memorizing each detail he could get his fingers on
-the night before, his hands were firm but soft on your thighs
-so seeing him knock grown men flat is mind boggling anddddd I mean you can guess right?
-turns you on a little bit that's what I'm getting at
-whenever olive comes in it becomes a whore house 🙄 (SO AFFECTIONATE I LOVE YOU OLIVE AND YOUR DIRTY MIND THANK YOU THANK YOU)
-olive thinks boxer lip has a choking kink and she would be correct
-which feeds into her bicep kink whatever whatever we love her
-fucking him in the locker room after good fight and he's not super busted up (you guys seen what Rocky looks like? busted eyelids and shit) (not lip, he's gonna have a bruise and a little cut be he's okay <3)
-he's very sweaty and very pent up and running off the adrenaline of the fight and winning
-also wearing his boxing shorts around!! just comfy clothes
-but we was talking about him fucking you in his robe which is very KVE of him *I've not seen Iron Claw I'm just saying what I've seen from the girlies
-I just think he kind of loves seeing Gallagher painted across your shoulders (or even your ass if he's got it on his shorts)
-but also he would have like a fun stage name guys what do we think his stage name would be
-like The Italian Stallion fucks like Rocky Balboa ate with that
-but he could also just be Lip
-Lip 🥰 in the blue corner <3
-whereas 🥵The Italian Stallion🥵 in the red corner?
-idk help guys
-anyways boxer lip has some CRAZY stamina
-like
-like CRAZY stamina
-you think you're ready to conk out after two rounds? yeah well Lips not so
-but he's soso sweet about it
-I'm back I've done some research and my idea works, walk with me
-this man is horny, we all know that like
-like he's HORNY
-anyways he goes like
-like crazy
-he's got one of your legs up over his shoulder, the other pressed up against his side where it's wrapped around his middle
-he has already made you come twice and your thirds on the way
-the squelching as he fucks you is pornographic, and he fucking loves it
-you simply cannot think, he's kept you teetering on the edge of overstimulation but all you can focus on is the feeling of him fucking into you, his shoulder flexing under your leg
-and he's being soso sweet cooing in your ear, telling you how good you feel, how he's going to fill you up so nice and you just need to go one more round with him after cause he wants to make sure you remember him before he fights later
-your third orgasm is what draws out Lip's first orgasm
-he's really gentle about how he rolls his hips into you, you can feel the mixture of both your release slipping out of you
-he's pressing soft, soft kisses to your face, telling you how good you are and how you feel just sooo good
-you can feel his cock twitch inside of you and the slow beginnings of him getting hard again
-and he's just being so
-"Come on baby, just need one more from ya" "Gonna let me fill you one more time?" "gotta make sure it sticks baby" "Wanna make sure you remember me when I'm up in the ring"
-and who are you to deny his soft pleas
-HELP WAIT GUYS GUYS
-so like after he reaches his second orgasm inside of you and he pulls out, he cannot stop looking at where the mix of you release slips out of you
-and he's hard again this punk
-but, you're just so sleepy and so floaty
-so Lip gets himself off above you, fucking himself into his hand using both of your guys cum as a lubricant
-anyways blah blah, he paints your tummy in his cum, it reaches just under your chest and this feeds into the marking thing he's got
-someone stop this man he's tooooo horny
-anyways he cleans you up (collects the cum he can and slips it into you, pushing it softly into you with his fingers, trying to keep the rest of your release from slipping out even more)
-but as you're drifting off, he makes sure to clean you up, dress you back in some cozy sleep clothes
-boxer lip the beloved

Ok I’m sorry if you’ve already answered this before but I saw some of your older posts talking about your headcanons regarding Helia’s Dynamic with Miele as well as Flora’s dynamic with Saladin and they were just so wholesome! I’m just a sucker for wholesome (future) in-law dynamics. So anyway, it made me wonder if you had any thoughts or headcanons on Helia’s dynamic/relationship with Flora’s parents, Rhodos and Alyssa. Its already a crime that we don’t get to see Flora’s family that much in canon (not to mention her parents don’t get introduced until season 6/7 of all things). Its an even bigger crime that we get practically zero interactions between Helia and Flora’s parents in canon (from what I remember). Like at least between him and Miele, we get a little something in the comics, but NOTHING with Rhodos and Alyssa! So yeah, I’d like to hear your thoughts
AHHHHHHHHHH OBSESSED
i have mentioned this before (teehee)! but it's not suuuper fleshed out so i'm taking advantage of your ask to talk about helia more ajdgkdag
you're so right it's an Absolute Crime that we didn't get to see her parents till the later seasons (and we don't even know if they're what rainbow/iginio originally intended her parents to be like either), but i actually really like her parents! rhodos being So Goofy and making a bunch of puns?? AMAZING also fully obsessed with both flora and her mother having strangling vines that grab everyone like we really see where flora gets it from aldhgjlg
anyway, with how friendly they both are, i think they would fully adore helia! especially since flora probably talks about him a lot or at the very least doesn't hide that she's in a relationship, i think they would end up knowing a lot more about him than he realizes ajhdgl i definitely don't think it would take till s7 for them to properly meet though! i can see flora officially introducing him near the end of s3 or sometime in s5 (considering the earth gap year)!
but Anyway, headcanons!!
rhodos and alyssa are absolutely devasted that helia has next to zero knowledge about plants and plant care, so rhodos takes it upon himself to teach helia every single time he visits
rhodos is also very excited to say every single pun/joke about plants he knows since he figures helia hasn't heard them yet (helia: takes one step outside - rhodos: well, I can't WHEAT to see you again ;;;;))
in ep6 it shows them taking care of the magiwolves and since i also hc that helia has some good medical knowledge, i like to think that he'd be able to impress them with that! i can see them comparing notes and maybe even asking for help with other animals!
in the comics, they mention that flora and helia played together when they were kids and i hc that it was actually alyssa who remembered him and told them!
rhodos is way too friendly and cheerfully tells helia that he can call him dad if he wants to. helia's too nervous to tell him he thinks that's weird as hell ajdgl
helia still calls them mr. rhodos and mrs. alyssa decades after meeting them aladhg
i mentioned in the miele post that she would eventually ask to know when he's going on missions, and i think after a couple years (probably around s7 time), rhodos and alyssa would also ask for that information. timmy helps him make a little timetable that he can just fill out and they can access whenever
i think i mentioned it in the first post but they absolutely try to subtly drop hints that they're okay with florelia getting married aldghl (they're not subtle At All but they're trying okay alhdgl)
helia would definitely be a little awkward and nervous around them at first, even more so after experiencing how nice they are to him. i can see him feeling like he doesn't deserve it or like he needs to earn their respect. that would last for a couple of years but eventually he would have a moment where it just kind of clicks that they literally don't care what he does as long as he treats flora with respect and love.
after that, he would randomly get a lot more comfortable with them and they get excited because they think it means florelia are getting married or something ajdhgl
