So I started watching Brooklyn 99 and I’m only like three episodes in but Jake Peralta is like??? such an ADHD icon???? I mean
- has his own organization system that no one else really understands
- fidgeting, always, like, always
- ALWAYS talking, usually to say that he just figured something out or remembered something unrelated to the situation at hand
- like in the first episode he interrupts the arrest and is like “Oh my god I just figured it out!” like not the best time
- Impulsive
- that desk is a MESS but it’s a system he understands
- incredibly bored by repetitive tasks such as paperwork
- constantly taking on a new case (starting a new project)
- boredom is I.N.T.O.L.E.R.A.B.L.E.
- wants to be challenged
- just, distracted, always, but also on task
- like they accept him, and Holt even does things to help him work better and challenges him to not just be arrogant about his abilities
- smart
- creative
- but again, just, distracted, always, all the time, just, it never ends
- a true ADHD icon, truly

ok but honestly i love this scene
because the admission that he googled ‘how to talk to your bisexual friends’ is an admission that he doesn’t really know what the shit he’s doing, BUT HE TRIED and did the emotional labor on his own of looking for answers rather than relying on HER to provide all the answers
Terry is the ally we need tbh
