__Catch and Release redraw 2021 vs 2025__

__I got dragged back into C&R and my friend encouraged me to draw them (thanks ash <3) __

You would think that during my spring break, I can draw more but instead I worked overtime and slept through it. ( ‘-_-)…Anyways, I’m back in school, so here’s a small sketch for Catch and Release (Not digital as I’m already working on the monthly Frans prompt).

And update of this AU, I had thought of just making a simple one-shot fanfic with a cover to go along with it. However during development, the themes became too complex and sensitive to fit into one page. So this story would likely be fairly long with several short comics here and there that are related to the scene.

WARNING: This is a heads up on the dark themes and heavy messages, this AU will contain:

Discussion of depression, PTSD, and other mental health disorders (primarily in the male perspective)

Addiction to substances

Torture, graphic deaths, and suicide

Mental/emotional/physical abuse

Sexual assault

As shown, C&R is not for the faint hearted and really isn’t a romance despite our love of this ship. However I don’t think this shouldn’t take away what the story can offer as a toxic Frans AU and may provide some awareness for the warning above.

the thing is, ik that ar loves cats and technically modeled ty's behavior after them, and that's why he's written the way he is, but the first time i read the c&r series, i couldnt help but think that ty was coded to have adhd. flighty attention span, constant and characteristic fidgeting, easily bored by dull things (computer work) he doesn't want to do and finds incredible difficulty on focusing on these tasks, etc. like am i the only one who thought this????

Hi!! 👋 I could never find getting asks about c&r or ty grady annoying, you're always welcome to throw some thoughts my way!

You are absolutely not the only one who thinks Ty has adhd! My friends and I are very big adhd Ty truthers, in fact one of my best friends, (brilliant psychology major and masters in forensic psychology haver) Robin, once looked through the dsm and went through the sort of textbook definition of adhd and categoried Ty's behavior according to the listed characteristics. Of course the dsm is very flawed and it was just for fun but yeah my man is for sure experiencing signs and symptoms. His impulsivity, his hatred of paperwork bc he gets distracted, tendency to zone out, constant fidgeting, inability to sit still, and the way his train of thought often jumps from unrelated topic to topic, just to name a few.
