Neurodivergent hiccup my beloved <33
(based on common traits)
He has a tendency to overshare or accidentally give things away.
He’s insanely creative.
He’s generally very straightforward and honest.
Tends not to get overly invested in conversations that don’t somehow involve dragons (his special interest)
When talking about dragons, he gets very passionate and loud. Generally something that happens when an autistic person talks about their special interests.
When he gets upset, he tends to scream or yell and through his arms out. Sudden bursts of emotion.
You could say he loves flying so much because he’s sensory seeking.
He fidgets a lot. Could be considered stimming. This boy can NOT sit still.
He’s very sarcastic. (Yes even autistic people can be sarcastic, and in fact, many are)
He is just, so impulsive. About 60% of the time he DOES before he THINKS.
He talks with a lot of body and arm movement. He’s very outwardly expressive.
He has a VERY strong sense of justice.
He can be quite oblivious to flirting or things along the same lines. Remember when Astrid wore her betrothal necklace and quite literally shook her boobs and him and he didn’t even flinch?
He doesn’t seem to have a real big sense of self-preservation.
He focuses on the smaller details instead of the big picture. He’s also able to link one topic to another no matter how obscure.
So much empathy. Especially towards dragons.
On a similar note: he seems to prefer animals (namely dragons) over people.
He has a tendency to notice little things most others wouldn’t.
He’s extremely stubborn, and stuck in his mindset until proven wrong.
It’s common for autistic people to want to date people who they view as more of a dominant person (but obviously not always) but… *cough* astrid *cough cough*
He was bullied as a kid for being different and weird.
He over analyzes things to the point of it being unhealthy. Think about that whole thing with Viggo.
He detects patterns almost immediately and is generally very good at connecting the dots.
He can be quite clumsy.
When he comes up with something, he often interrupts people.
Similar note: he’s always thinking aloud or talking to himself.
I’m sure there’s more but that’s all I could think of.
I was asked this and I chuckled because in the scheme of things the only thing that looks the same is that they are in my style. XD
i’m in my carlando feels rn
cause like, these are two guys who were brought up with similar values, because their parents wanted them to learn the value of money and hard work and effort. these are two guys who got into f1 young, but carlos had a rookie teammate, and lando had carlos. lando had carlos, and carlos taught him the importance of team, and putting in the hours, and how to correctly read the telemetry, and how to improve, and how to grow up when the situation called for it, and how to get out of your head. and carlos had lando too, because lando taught carlos how to be immature again, and do stupid things sometimes, and to let go. they’re always distracted by each other, even if they’re doing something that has nothing to do with the other. they’re always accompanying each other on family trips, and their parents treat the other as their own. they’re always defending each other, always taking the other’s name first when talking about friends in the paddock. except, carlos refuses to call lando a friend because carlos wants to see whether they would be friends after f1 or not, cause that’s the real test, isn’t it? and they go on golf dates where i’m so sure carlos teases lando for being so bad at it. they’ve cooked together, and god, the lore behind it, can you imagine? they’ve celebrated each other’s wins, each other’s podiums. they’ve got their own personal boundaries for each other, things that no one else can do. they have their high pitched laugh that only dogs can hear, and they blush when they stare at each other too long, and they call each other cabron but affectionately, and they’re always going in for hugs, never simple handshakes. they’re carlos and lando, and there’s so much of carlos in lando, and so much of lando in carlos that it hurts my fucking heart. and like, lando still sticking to carlos’ side, even though it’s been years that they stopped being teammates. hell, in the start, lando could walk into the ferrari garage and no one would bat an eye. but, they never stopped being teammates, because no other driver is so in tune with someone else to pull off singapore 2023. carlos’ own team didn’t know what he was doing there, but lando norris did. lando, who repeatedly told his team before abu dhabi 2024 to be careful of carlos because he knows carlos and he knows he’s going to push. carlos taking lando’s racing line and getting pole in mexico. lando being there when carlos got his first victory post surgery, and got his last victory in ferrari. lando being there when carlos was on podium in monza. lando’s been with carlos in 3 out of 4 wins. did you know that? like, those were two boys who were imagining being p1 and p2, and they got it. they got it in singapore, and then mexico, and then abu dhabi. they’re not loud because they’re there for themselves, yk? they don’t hide their friendship, but they also don’t publicly go around waving it in people’s faces because it’s so personal to them. we’ve all seen the adoration on lando’s face every time he’s with carlos, but fuck, the adoration on carlos’ face when lando’s just being himself is so pure and so real. and like, carlos always leaving a little bit of space for lando on track, and lando always being so secure in his friendship with carlos.
these two found each other so randomly, but goddamn, am i happy they did.
