Happy “Tetchou Got 2-3 Seconds Of Screen Time” Day!!

"Chibi" style art of Tetchou and Jouno looking at eachother. Tetchou appears quietly angry, not providing much of an expression change, while Jouno is pouting and visibly annoyed. The text above them says "Autism Vs. ADHD" in reference to the "Autism Vs. ADHD rap battle" image.

Happy “Tetchou got 2-3 seconds of screen time” day!!

Anyway Jouno has ADHD and heres a longass rant on why I think that

(Obviously this is a headcanon but hear me out!!!!!)

Almost every time we see Jouno he is always doing something with his hands wether this be gesturing, holding something, or fidgeting with an object (example: when he was peeling a pear in Kunikida’s cell thing) and in the same scene we also see Jouno apparently unable to sit still in his seat in the manga due to him repeatedly crossing and uncrossing his legs in his chair

Manga panel of Jouno up close crossing his legs again but switching sides, still sitting in a foldout chair (Vol. 18 Pg 168)

Another reason I think this is because of possible time blindness. When we first see Jouno show up to the Hunting Dogs group thing where they smash into the ground, Fukuchi comments on Jouno arriving before him. This is because he had to go arrest Dazai so obviously he’s “here” in Yokohama early, but also this kind of makes me think he was just standing there waiting for a while. I’m likely reading too deep into it, but Fukuchi probably wouldn’t say that Jouno had gotten here before him when he knew that’d clearly be the case. In my mind it reads as Jouno arrived at the meeting spot early. How Fukuchi would know this? No clue! But also he’s Fukuchi so he probably knows everything.

(I hate tumblr formatting)

Another reason I have would be RSD (Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria)

This one is definitely reaching a little bit but bare with me.

I think Jouno experiences RSD, not in the way of “oh I hate myself I messed up on something” but instead in the way of “shut the fuck up you dont know what youre talking about dont criticize me.” Which is honestly how I experience it sometimes as well LMAO but he does seem very focused on the fact of personally being the best Hunting Dog and appears to take quite a bit of offense whenever Tetchou reprimands him for his behaviour.

Manga panel of Jouno and Tetchou having a discussion/argument. Jouno points accusatorially at Tetchou. "J: Look... Your strength is good for say, killing a herd of wild boars. But the Hunting Dogs are about investing and making arrests." It cuts to the next panel where Jouno appears to be getting carried away in his thoughts "J: My point is... I am the greatest Hunting Dog!" The next two panels are of Tetchou giving Jouno a blank stare. "T: You are?" Tetchou then teasingly 'smirks' at Jouno. there is a small bit of text next to him reading "HEH!" Jouno is also shown from a back angle staring begrudgingly at Tetchou "J: I want to kill you right now." (Vol. 17 Pg 107)

Manga panel of Aya infront of Jouno and Tetchou standing behind Jouno off to the right, extending his sabre to stab Jouno in the ass. There is a dialogue bubble next to him that says "Okay, that's enough." Jouno also has a text bubble next to him that says "OWW!?" (Vol. 21 Pg 112)

Last reason I can squeeze out before my brain turns into goo is overstimulation. Jouno is known very heavily for his heightened senses and people with ADHD are very prone to overstimulation. It would make a lot of sense for something like this to happen to Jouno. Obviously he wouldn’t be able to openly show this at work or have a breakdown at work (if he did he would likely go to a secluded area to calm down) but its very likely that he’s experienced many overstimulated breakdowns or shut downs during his life once his senses became so insane.

I could go on about this for hours but now I have to tag all of this and pass the hell out. Unsurprisingly my own time blindness has gotten the better of me (I started this at 2 am and it is currently 5 am)

DO I EVEN NEED THIS MANY TAGS IDK HOW THIS WORKS
