what a beautiful world. we have little creatures who love us so much they sit on the end of the bed and purr like little motors simply because we exist nearby

I need to find more ADHDers, I need some ADHD hypersupport club or something like that. I need to be able to unmask myself and say things like "yeah a friend told me I'm good at languages so now I need to learn Italian and Hebrew" without receiving weird looks from NT people that say "cool" and finish the convo.

I need a safe place to be a goblin. I need more goblins around me. I need another ADHDer to bump into me and that they can start rambling about their new hyperfixations without me asking. I just want to know your fave things, the things you hate, your hc and ideas and funny anecdotes and then to tell you mine and that's it, now we're besties.

I need an ADHD community like a goblin nest, and no, I don't mean it as something bad I mean... have you read that post about goblins showing love and affection via infodumping their lives to some new friend? I'm just like that. I'm goblin coded in a world of just humans and I feel so alone. I feel bad cause I can't infodump and I have to control myself. I have to watch what I say, how I say it, and then I overthink cause maybe I overstepped and I'm lonely and tired.

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against NT, my two besties from forever are NT and they love me as I am, goblin-coded and everything. But I live alone and all the things I want to say just... I need to infodump and someone to infodump me.

I'm trying this app meetup but it's all... NT coded, not a single ADHD group where I live. Ugh. It's difficult to dance when you know noone else is listening the music.

Scarian with Watcher Grian headcanons and stuff because I have feelings

Grian's watcher-y everywhere eyes are usually undetectable to players.

Scar, however, has gotten used to how Grian's magic feels, so while he cannot see the eyes, he can sorta feel approximately where they are. When Grian's not doing anything he'll curl up somewhere comfy and watch Scar build, and Scar can tell he's being watched so he'll just start talking to Grian. It's very soft.

I actually had a snippet written on this-

-

Grian relaxed into his nest and opened an eye slowly, lazily. 

"Oh, have you come to see what I'm doing?"

Grian hummed contentedly and gave a slow blink.

"I'm just working on a tree. It's not all that interesting."

"It's amazing." Grian murmured, not that Scar could hear.

Scar continued to build, talking to his silent audience about one thing or another.

At least until the presence slowly faded back down to its usual dull, barely noticeable state.

Grian was probably sleeping, then.

Scar could go keep him company? Oh, but he really wanted to finish this. A break wouldn’t hurt though - and looking at his progress with fresh eyes would probably help.

Decided, he rushed over to Grian’s nest, where he was, as expected, sleeping peacefully. With practised ease, Scar slipped into the nest and settled under one of Grian’s wings. Grian instinctively nuzzled into his side.

-

Grian's human-ish eyes look, rather unfortunately, like dead fish eyes. I cannot explain what I mean by this, nor can I explain my logic here.

Scar would beg to differ, he's spent a long time staring at the eyes in Grian's face so he would know. You stare long enough and you start seeing stars, galaxies, it's rather mesmerising and very hard to turn away from (Grian will look away before too long because he's a tad worried about what Scar might see hurting him if he doesn't)

But also, Scar is one of the few people who regularly see Grian's watcher-y eyes. And Scar is always just delighted to see Grian let go of the player disguise and reveal his watcher traits because it shows how comfortable and confident Grian is around him.

All this is to say whenever Scar says Grian has pretty eyes every other hermit in the vicinity vaguely wonders what Scar's on, except Grian. Who feels so soft about the fact that Scar is so enamored by parts of Grian that for a long time he really hated about himself.

The way that all nurses and medical assistants universally possess the inexplicable urge to tell me how young I am. "You're so young!" "And at such a young age?" "Oh you poor thing, huh?" "You're too young to be here!"

I get that you want to express your sympathies re: my shambling corpse, but consider for half a moment that I know how old I am. You don't need to REMIND ME that I'm a solid 2 decades younger than your typical patient, I PROMISE I am Aware of That. I am here to pay a man to quite literally strap on a motherfucking headlamp, get a Tool, and go rooting around inside my rectum. Thank you for making sure everyone in the room knows I'm 22 for some godforsaken reason

i need some people to learn that it's ok to just block me if they don't like seeing me and my opinions on their dash (or just. generally that it's ok to block people you don't like seeing on your dash)

#like hey! maybe instead of going into my replies and telling me why i'm wrong actually #and why i hate queer people and don't understand trauma #(lol) #you could just block me #because if you don't i will because i don't need that energy on my own damn posts #idek what people think they're getting out of reacting in bad faith to literally anything and everything #yelling at the void #rant

Emotional stuff under the cut

I may not have attended the Poshuman caberet (Travelling abroad is not feasible for me at the moment) but you can bet I'm feeling all kinds of emotion about it already.

I first found Dolls when I was looking for steampunk music in like... 2017?

I just. At the time I'd recently had a complete upheaval of my entire life. Everything had changed for me (Objectively for the better, but it wasn't easy) and I was struggling with the fallout of that.

So all this stuff has been a rock beside me as I've grown into myself, even while other interests have come and gone.

It's weird that this story is finished, I guess is what I'm getting at?

It's still all there and I'm not gonna stop listening, and I still haven't finished the podcast or the books, and his next works I'm very excited for.

I'm just being emotional and stuff. You know?

I live for the character complexity of sirius black with all my heart. It doesn’t matter who he’s shipped with, but it annoys me SENSELESS when that’s taken away from him.

Look, I love the diversity of the marauders fandom as much as the next person. Anyone wants to expand on canon? Go ahead. Or want crackships? Sure. Test out dynamics that aren’t possible in canon? Valid.

But what I don’t understand is WHY anyone would strip the character of the very essence of what makes the character the character they are.

The characterization for sirius is one of the most interesting, and I love to see how it’s fleshed out for any ship if it done in a way that doesn’t degrade him to a shallow character.

It’s like, sometimes a part of his character is so heavily exaggerated it almost reduces him to solely comical. And it’s no fun to me in any case when sirius is portrayed in a way that just sort of “dumbs him down” or turns him into this “silly/goofy” character.

Like I was just thinking about how much I actually love choices sirius for this. I love how it explores his character.

(especially loved that one line at the beginning when james says something about him using humor as an armor and the whole interaction when he ran away from home. He’s rebellious yes, but also scarred.)

And could just lead to so much more later on about how he becomes a victim to the system himself and loses his best friends in the process, it’s brings out his moral grayness a lot more, because he’s lost so much and was wrongfully convicted to suffer for it. Harry is one of the only precious things he has left. And also, like, his godson and his best friend’s son. I just really love morally gray Sirius Black, and I think after a certain point, he falls flat as a character when he isn’t taken super siriusly. (yeah lmao, I’m sorry I had to do it 😭)

#sirius black #just my thoughts #again I love headcanons #I just think there’s a very particular thing about sirius that makes him so interesting and makes me drawn to his character #And people can ship what they want and adjust dynamics but to simplify his character to the point where #What makes sirius “sirius” just isn’t there anymore #choices sirius #yelling at the void

BG3 spoilers ahead I have to tell this tragic tale

So I get through the final Thorm fight, just nearly scraping by honestly. I'm on my way to act 3 or to go hunt down that brain thingy idk didn't make it that far bc first I stop by camp to ya know like heal my characters, get; Shadowheart, Wyll, and Karlach lore and of course give Astarion a smooch bc I am legally obligated to do so any free moment I can. But wait I ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE "WHATEVER THIS IS HAS GOTTA STOP" OPTION and there's no way to be like " haha jk I still love you pookie" and to top it all off I DIDN'T FUCKING SAVE AFTER THE FIGHT! Right there I knew I was fucked so I just turned off my console defeated bc Jesus Christ if there's on thing in this game I'm good at is remembering not to save when it's convenient 💀 anyway tldr I have to do the fight again and I'm really upset about it but at least my relationship with Astarion will still be intact 🧍🏻‍♂️🧍🏻‍♂️

In the spirit of encouraging people to comment on fanfics while also making it easier to do so, I feel obliged to share a browser extension for ao3 that has quite literally revolutionized the comment game for me.

I present to you: the floating ao3 comment box!

From what I've seen, a big problem for many people is that once you reach the comments at the bottom of a fic, your memory of it miraculously disappears. Anything you wanted to say is stuck ten paragraphs ago, and you barely remember what you thought while reading. This fixes that!

I'll give a little explanation on the features and how it works, but if you want to skip all that, here's the link.

The extension is visible as a small blue box in the upper left corner.

(Side note: The green colouring is not from the extension, that's me.)

If you click on it, you open a comment box window at the bottom of your screen but not at the bottom of the fic. I opened my own fic for demonstrative purposes.

The website also gives explanations on how exactly it functions, but I'll summarize regardless.

insert selection -> if you highlight a sentence in the fic it will be added in italics to the comment box

add to comment box -> once you're done writing your comment, you click this button and the entire thing will automatically copied to the ao3 comment box

delete -> self explanatory

on mulitchapter fics, you will be given the option to either add the comment to just the current chapter or the entire fic

The best part? You can simply close the window the same way you opened it and your progress will automatically be saved. So you can open it, comment on a paragraph, and then close it and keep reading without having the box in your face.

Comments are what keep writers going, and as both a writer and a reader, I think it's such an easy way of showing support and enthusiasm.

being a mentally ill adult is so fun im over here lookin in my planner like "damn i cant have my nervous breakdown tonight i have some important emails to send tomorrow, maybe if i schedule it this weekend, i have to avoid going into full insanity due to my show but i gotta let it out or i will be taken in"

and when a therapist says you are self aware it just means 1. wow ur smart for a mentally ill person and 2. damn youve really tried everything and your brain is still a piece of shit wow

also a cynical joke

Bart Simpson: I don't want anyone to know I'm crazy, they'll lock me up in a loony bin!

Therapist: Oh you don't need to worry about that, son, those people are out on the streets!!!

I hate the meme of Walter White yelling at Neolithic farmers like “go back to being hunter gatherers, you’re going to invent micro plastics”

Like no. We know who invented synthetic plastics, his name is Leo Baekeland. I hate this idea that these events had to happen and how it’s groups of people who settled down to farm that are at fault. Sure I can’t know what people countless of generations past were like. But there’s something so icky about blaming people who just wanted a better/easier life.

I understand that it’s probably easier to blame faceless neolithic peoples than a 20th century Belgian chemist. But there’s just something so fucked up about blaming people who struggled for food and shelter for all the world’s ills. It just feels like punching down to me, like out of all the people you could blame, it’s the people whose lives are the most alien to your own.

"no attachments" in SW literally just means "don't be selfish and possessive". that's it. that's all there is. doesn't mean jedi can't have friends and loved ones. they can. just. don't be possessive and selfish about it. don't murder thousands of people in an effort to save one.
