That’s a possible sign of ADHD, my dudes. :P One of the prevailing theories explaining ADHD is that it’s caused by a lack of certain neurotransmitters, specifically norepinephrine and serotonin.  Everybody has a background level of these neurotransmitters, and when they see or do something novel or interesting, those neurotransmitters increase, and then decrease back down to normal levels.  Because people with ADHD have less of these than they should, they are constantly looking for something new and interesting to give them that jolt back to normal levels.  That’s why they’re so easily distracted and why they hyperfocus on things that interest them. Stimulant drugs, like caffeine, cause your brain to make more of those neurotransmitters.  So while neurotypical people might get a buzz off caffeine, people with ADHD just get bumped up closer to normal levels, and so, if anything, feel calmer.  That’s why they prescribe what are basically amphetamines as treatment for ADHD and why ADHD meds are so bad for people who don’t have ADHD.

WHAT

Yup! At my job as a mental health counselor where we assess people, if we start detecting hints of what we think might be ADHD, it’s actually something my supervisor trained me to do, to just ask “So when that sort of thing happens, do you ever drink coffee or soda to calm down?” or “Does coffee actually help you wake up, or does it just not do anything?” because it’s such a commonly known fact about ADHD for people in the mental health field.

Thinking about how the jade caste and purple caste mirror each other:

-Mother/ caretaker caste vs father/ protector caste

-Both slightly off the hemospectrum (jades condemned to the caverns in some cases, purples tied to their church)

-Both grouped together, solidarity found family style

-Jades as a symbol of purity, purples as a symbol of destruction (you could also argue that purples, as the religious caste, enforce purity re: their religious morals)

I think this is why Karako as a character works so well, and why his being purple is most likely a deliberate choice. Say he had been a lowblood... it would be a little on the nose. Same for a blueblood or seadweller; it just hits different because there's no clear meaning there. I think the parallel of his caste to Bronyas is significant and meaningful, and in this essay I will-
