Another thought about Riddle

I think it's extremely likely that Riddle has Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD). Not the same as OCD (although there is a notable relationship between OCD and OCPD).

Here are a few screenshots from the wiki page. I highlighted the sections that I felt particularly applied to Riddle.

Riddle fits nearly all of the criteria, and has the background most likely to cause the disorder to develop (overly strict parents, not emotionally cared for, ect.) (Considering the genetic aspect, Riddle's mother might have it too, but chose to handle it in the worst way possible. You messed up a perfectly good kid is what you did.)

As OCPD is a personality disorder, it isn't typically curable in of the sense that it can't be completely erased with enough treatment. It will always be a part of Riddle. He'll likely always have a strong dedication to the rules and highly value order - he wouldn’t be Riddle otherwise - but it is treatable. It can be understood and Riddle can learn to work around it, and we see already Riddle improving already since his overblot.

If this is the case, it wouldn't necessarily change anything about Riddle - it would only serve to add a bit more context behind his feelings and the actions he takes in response.

And arguably? It would make his growth post overblot even more impressive. Managing to wrestle something so overwhelmingly influential that it's become a part of your personality is beyond difficult, and his determination to grow says a lot about the kind of person he is.

(All that is to say that it's my personal hc, at least)

Floyd's VA Okamoto Nobuhiko comment from the fanbook:

"Of all the roles available, Floyd was the one I wanted the most.

I wanted to play a character that no one knew what he was thinking, and I poured all of my experience as a performer into my own version of Floyd.

I tried to create an atmosphere that was unsettling while still leaving a cute impression, along with a variety of the other aspects of the character.

During auditions I tried to over-exaggerate and sound dark and crazy, but during the recording I was instructed to sound less scary, so I tried to tone it down. I finally worked out what it is that is cute about Floyd, then increased the coolness percentage a bit, and it was settled.

I felt the roller coaster-like drop during performances, such as the sudden change from infant-like to intellectual, was what made Floyd so appealing. The changes in the weight of his reactions are very interesting to portray."
