if I go chug the monster that I wound up not drinking while driving home from detroit at 2 am last saturday
I could maybe do my taxes AND work on the Icarus sculpt a bit
ah, responsible decision making, my ancient foe!!!

we all love to talk about how Percy, Annabeth, and Nico would suffer more trauma from Tartarus than we're shown, and that's not wrong, but what about trauma from the first war? these kids have ADHD, and they fought the Lord of Time.
give me Annabeth focusing on her architecture from the moment she wakes up, putting painstaking detail into every draft, only to look up, and the sun's gone. give me the panic of where'd the day go? i've only been sitting here for a few hours—
give me Percy getting bored in class and drifting off into his own mind, only to wake up in a different class with no memory of how he got there. the panic when he realizes he lost a whole chunk of time—not uncommon with dissociation—but how can he be sure it wasn't Kronos?
give me Nico knowing he has to move, to get up and do something, but frozen in place. he's screaming at himself in his mind to just move, but he can't know if it's executive dysfunction or if he's been frozen in place.
give me demigods' minds becoming their enemies. give me common symptoms of ADHD and hyperfocusing terrifying the children who fought Time. and on the flip side, give me these demigods realizing that these are symptoms of their ADHD, and reclaiming them. i want demigods giving the finger to Kronos as they figure out how to move forward with executive dysfunction and their trauma, and becoming better off for it.

Adhd is sitting at your desk, having everything set up to start working but instead of actually working, it's being on your phone instead

I hate how much time capitalism chokes out of you. I hate how you’re worked within an inch of your life and left too drained to have any self left over afterwards. our time is not ours and our identity is eaten away every second we spend clocked in with nothing left to take to go <- I say, having worked a total of 2.5 hours and then choosing to spend the next 5 in a puddle on my couch doing literally nothing
