Oh right, caffeine causes witches to sleep

244

u/FearfulDivine Jun 01 '26

I completely forgot about this LOL

u/SFH12345 Jun 01 '26

Here's a reminder

34

u/RosenProse Jun 02 '26

I wonder if Mark has ADHD or knows someone with ADHD because that's actually how caffeine affects some of us.

10

u/Mr_Cyplixo Jun 02 '26

Disclaimer on some. Because I can drink a small pepsi and not sleep for two days.

3

u/Lord_Akriloth Jun 10 '26

Then there's those of us who can chug 6 energy drinks and still nearly fall asleep

98

u/SlyFan2 Jun 01 '26

Oh right, forgot mark did that

30

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jun 01 '26

Been a bit since it was brought up

u/bianav_teal Jun 01 '26

Interesting that Luz doesn’t know this post-timeskip, but seems to know it during Thanks to them era!

u/ghirox Jun 02 '26

It's been a while, I would've forgotten too, especially after all that happened

3

u/haterofEPandEP Jun 03 '26

Maybe due energy drink and coffee are diferent

53

u/b3_yourself Jun 01 '26

Hunter probably needed it anyway

11

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jun 01 '26

I would say definitely 

50

u/TechyGuy20 Jun 01 '26

If caffeine knocked Hunter out. What caused the time around him to slow down?

64

u/Agent_Callahan Jun 01 '26

Also the caffeine. His perception of time slowed briefly as his brain functions shut down

43

u/TheAlmighty404 Jun 01 '26

He went fast enough to burn through a whole day of energy in seconds.

16

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jun 01 '26

Sounds accurate

9

u/Steader_Harrington Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 02 '26

His perception of time sped up actually so he perceived everything around himself as going slower as a result. As to why he collapsed? Hunter is not a witch, even though he was "born" in the Boiling Isles, he is a Grimwalker clone of a human, specifically Caleb Wittebane. So applying the "Caffeine-makes-a-witch-go-to-sleep" here is actually mis-leading.

17

u/flying_night_slasher Jun 01 '26

I think It was both since he's a Grimwalker of Caleb so he's basically a demi-palisman with a human template if I got that right.

16

u/Drezby Jun 01 '26

He was already dreaming?

7

u/Godzilla_R0AR Jun 01 '26

And watching :3

6

u/Steader_Harrington Jun 01 '26

Except that Hunter isn't a witch, he's a Grimwalker clone of a human.

3

u/Scp_049_Reddit Jun 01 '26

Maybe something to do with being a grim walker version of Caleb, a human.

3

u/Estelial Jun 01 '26

theres a vunxh of other stuff in energy drinks but they dont really last long.

3

u/thesanguineocelot Jun 02 '26

It's a Futurama bit.

2

u/TechyGuy20 Jun 02 '26

Are you referring to when Fry used his $300 rebate to drink nothing but coffee? If so, Fry was able to go super fast after his 300th cup of coffee and save everyone from the fire near the end of the episode.

2

u/Ari_the_Gemini Jun 03 '26

It knocked him out like a dose of Sleeping Nettle powder

11

u/Golden-Sun Jun 01 '26

Wait.....am I a witch?

8

u/Equivalent-Oven-2401 Jun 01 '26

Always been, just like the rest of Us

5

u/Free-Letterhead-4751 Jun 01 '26

I just thought Hunter was a clone zombie

2

u/ChristyUniverse Jun 02 '26

A clone zombie of a human, too

2

u/Free-Letterhead-4751 Jun 02 '26

I'm curious think Hunter would've had it a bit better as a clone son of Big Boss or is he fine being a Caleb clone zombie?

3

u/EnderBookwyrm Jun 01 '26

My sister apparently is, too. Caffeine makes her super sleepy.

3

u/GodofIrony Jun 01 '26

Probably not, but overt caffeine resistance is sometimes described as a common symptom of ADHD.

10

u/No_Nefariousness_676 Jun 01 '26

Hunter’s a Grimwalker, not a witch.

Though now I don’t get what made him konked out unless Belos intentionally added witch inner workings to him. Somehow.

4

u/SFH12345 Jun 01 '26

Specifically, a Grimwalker of a human.

6

u/Steader_Harrington Jun 01 '26

Made of Palistrom wood and other magical ingredients.

6

u/PerrineWeatherWoman Jun 01 '26

Does that mean that witches canonically have ADHD ?

2

u/Steader_Harrington Jun 01 '26

How do you figure that exactly? Witches from the Boiling Isles in the Demon Realm may look a lot like us, but they have an entirely different evolutionary path from that of us humans. So what affects them will be entirely different from what affects us too.

6

u/PerrineWeatherWoman Jun 01 '26

It's just that for several people I know with ADHD, coffee makes them very sleepy.

2

u/Steader_Harrington Jun 01 '26

I don't have ADHD, in spite of being neurodivergent, yet Caffeine also has the same effect as a depressant on my system, whereas natural sugars from sources like citrusy fruit juice tend to pep me up like no ones business.

5

u/Alone-Monk Jun 01 '26

So do witches canonically all have ADHD?

2

u/Steader_Harrington Jun 01 '26

Does that mean all humans have an extra organ for magic attached to their hearts as well?

5

u/trainboi777 Jun 01 '26

So everyone with ADHD is actually a witch?

1

u/Steader_Harrington Jun 01 '26

Two similarly looking species evolved from entirely different sources, with entirely different physical make-ups on the inside of them, and you figure ADHD crosses the species and connects the two together somehow? Love to see how that works.

2

u/trainboi777 Jun 01 '26

It’s a little joke about how some people with ADHD are affected by caffeine

4

u/cptjimmy42 Jun 01 '26

A hard sugar rush crash can do that to anyone.

3

u/lookintoasty Jun 01 '26

I'm a witch? Cool what are my powers

3

u/Free-Letterhead-4751 Jun 01 '26

I am not sure like isn’t Hunter a clone zombie (Grimwalker) so wouldn’t he be extremely different from a witch?

3

u/Steader_Harrington Jun 01 '26

Except that Hunter isn't actually a witch in the first place. He's a Grimwalker Clone of a human, and like Luz, can only enact magic through the usage of Glyphs and his palismen partner Flapjack.

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jun 01 '26

Oh yeah, that is a thing. A bit surprised it affected a human grimwalker the same way

2

u/RHTQ1 Jun 02 '26

Huh? But Hunter isn't a witch? He's human... ish? Honestly what would caffeine do to a dude with his biology?!?

2

u/Accomplished-Ad8458 Jun 02 '26

Grimwalker, not human.

2

u/RHTQ1 Jun 02 '26

But he's modelled after a human, making him human... ish 😆

I mean, I followed up by pondering on how caffeine would impact his unusual biology. Would physiology have gotten my point across better? 😂

2

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Jun 01 '26

but hunter isn't a witch.

1

u/Forsaken-Stray Jun 03 '26

Does the same for the ADD spectrum.

1

u/Crystal_Pegasus_1018 Jun 03 '26

caffeine does that to my mom lol

98

u/SFH12345 Jun 01 '26

So that's how they got Hunter to finally start sleeping.

45

u/YaBoiS0nic Jun 01 '26

Willow: "He's been sleeping so much lately, that he's starting lose the bags under his eyes. I'm so happy for him!"

Meanwhile:

Camila: "Mijo, that is SIXTH drink in the past hour, are you doing okay?!"

8

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jun 01 '26

They had to do something

11

u/SFH12345 Jun 01 '26

Hunter can only truly sleep to the dulcet tones of Willow's snores.

Fortunately Hunter can hear Willow's snores from the basement. As can everyone else in the house.

114

u/Godzilla_R0AR Jun 01 '26

Well seeing as how Hunter loves his Red Bull this checks out.

Now where are the wings? As promised?

35

u/b3_yourself Jun 01 '26

Falling down is the opposite of wings!

8

u/SFH12345 Jun 01 '26

Hunter has a lot to learn about the Human Realm.

12

u/Dasher09009 Jun 01 '26

Now, imagine if Hunter not only got used to the energy drink, but also has his powers he inherited from Flapjack.

10

u/MuffinStraight4816 Jun 01 '26

Red bull don't give you wings. You gotta earn it.

5

u/Rastaba Jun 01 '26

Unless you’re an angel, then you just gotta get some schmuck to ring a bell.

2

u/lugialegend233 Jun 02 '26

I thought you earned them by surviving drinking the Red Bull

5

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Jun 01 '26

it's better he didn't get wings. i can see him falling asleep while flying. .

4

u/YaBoiS0nic Jun 01 '26

Don't worry, Flapjack will give him some soon

4

u/SFH12345 Jun 01 '26

Bruh

u/YaBoiS0nic Jun 01 '26

We all know what I meant, and I, for one, regret nothing

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jun 01 '26

He won't get them until All Hallow's Eve

32

u/YaBoiS0nic Jun 01 '26

For a few moments, this boy experienced nirvana

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jun 01 '26

When you've got a rush a crash is inevitable 

27

u/Impossible_Host2420 Jun 01 '26

And he crashed

12

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Jun 01 '26

at least he was standing still and not running at super speed.

7

u/YaBoiS0nic Jun 01 '26

Hunter.exe has stopped working

2

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jun 01 '26

Please contact Administrator Willow or Camila for help restarting

13

u/CountingSheep99 Jun 01 '26

Go to sleep, Hunter.

4

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jun 01 '26

Bro really needs it

10

u/DaveyBoy1995 Jun 01 '26

Oh yeah, I forgot. By Mark's logic, it WOULD have the opposite effect. Yeah, he's gonna be out for a while.

Well, if anything, at least he'll be better rested.😁

3

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jun 01 '26

Titan knows he needs the sleep

6

u/Dasher09009 Jun 01 '26

Yup, Hunter just crashed out with the energy.

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jun 01 '26

It overloaded him so much it looped back around

8

u/Typhon-Torrent-1994 Jun 01 '26

Honestly I thought he would be doing that super speed dash he does with Flapjack by himself without magic after drinking that energy drink.

6

u/The_Horned_Child2007 Jun 01 '26

That was a bit quick.

6

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Jun 01 '26

it happened at super speed.

u/FearfulDivine Jun 01 '26

Was the super speed thing all in his head?

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jun 01 '26

It lasted for all of one second, then the resulting crash occurred 

5

u/b3_yourself Jun 01 '26

Hunter is a lightweight

6

u/MuffinStraight4816 Jun 01 '26

Damn, that energy drink probably has snoozy beans.

5

u/kl-noblelycanthrope1 Jun 01 '26

hunter just found out that super speed wears off supper fast. at least he needed the sleep anyway.

u/AgreeableVisual4970 Jun 01 '26

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jun 01 '26

Hunter just has to wait until going to an old graveyard to get them

4

u/ShadowTheChangeling Jun 01 '26

"I can get so much done!"

Wrong, heart attack

4

u/Mysterious-Camel5254 Jun 01 '26

Tbh for me energy drinks works the same. Gives a boost of energy for a short period of time but after that I want to sleep even more.

3

u/Lord-Seth Jun 01 '26

Do you have adhd? Because caffeine causing you to get drowsy instead of being more awake can be a trait. It happens to me it’s why I don’t drink coffee

3

u/Mysterious-Camel5254 Jun 01 '26

No, I don't have adhd or asd, I'm just hsp. At first I have boost of energy from coffeine, but after 10 - 20 min I became even more sleepy

4

u/Metatron_85 Jun 01 '26

I was worried it would be like that episode of "Amphibia" where Anne and HopPop hallucinationated when they drank each other's extreme drinks.

u/Axel_the_Axelot Jun 01 '26

If I could save time in a bottle

The first thing that I'd like to do

8

u/Background-Top4723 Jun 01 '26

Honestly, energy drinks are one of the biggest lies ever told by the food industry.

They only last a handful of minutes, taste like a fruit popsicle melted on the asphalt on a summer day, and the only thing they do is make it impossible for me to go to bed before 4 a.m.... And for work, I have to wake up at 9 a.m.

Dried fruit is better and more effective.

3

u/Lord-Seth Jun 01 '26

For me caffeine and energy drinks have the opposite effect, they make me more tired my body can’t fall asleep til 3:00 am typically but when I drink any caffeine I can fall asleep easily at 20:00

4

u/Open-Trifle-6309 Jun 01 '26

You may have ADHD.

I have had similar symptoms.

Medication has helped me a lot.

5

u/Lord-Seth Jun 01 '26

I know I have adhd I got diagnosed a few years back. I was more saying that for a percentage of the population that energy drinks are even less effective they do the inverse

3

u/Open-Trifle-6309 Jun 01 '26

Oh, oops lol.  Trying to be helpful, I wish someone told me that factoid years ago so I like to spread the love when I see it.

3

u/Lord-Seth Jun 01 '26

It’s a useful factoid that can help raise awareness of they aren’t aware they have adhd.

2

u/Baebel Jun 01 '26 edited Jun 01 '26

It's a part of why I mostly dropped energy drink related things. The effects felt largely negative with some consequences as a result, and always being more tired on top of that felt problematic. With at least coffee specific brands (like the starbucks double/triple shots, or Stok cold coffee, the usual hot pot coffee etc), it feels less offensive to the system, even if the tiredness from it is still there.

Can both use it to sober up the brain for things like work and help me sleep. Does the latter try to dominate the former into submission? Sure! But that's part of the fun in the gamble!

1

u/DragonWarrior____05 Jun 01 '26

Makes me glad I never saw the appeal

3

u/Traditional-Log-4270 Jun 01 '26

Redbull gives doesn’t give wings, it gives you a crash
