[jack-has-a-brain]

A meme for all your finnpoe needs.

u know what... it may be true that most pollution is caused by large corporations but repeating that like a mantra over and over whenever youre asked to do something environmentally conscious but personally inconvenient really makes it feel like youre just shirking responsibility... recycling and using public transport and eating less meat or taking the bus or using reusable water bottles/coffee cups maybe wont change the world overnight but these are all things that will impact the environment over time, and to just go “well im not CEO of a fuel company so i wont bother” is so lazy and... irresponsible

Also this chocolate is REALLY GOOD M8

today i bought a chocolate bar just because i really liked the graphic design

but the bar itself is also really cool looking? i found a diagram that says exactly how big each piece is

the wikipedia article reads like an ad but i gotta say, this part in particular is pretty fun

anyway if stormpilot ends up not happening, i don’t wanna see any of y’all coming for oscar or john. they did not write the script and their intention is probably not to queerbait, just to tell their lgbt fanbase that they do have people in their corner. the actors clearly support stormpilot but that doesn’t mean they can strongarm jj or anyone else into incorporating it into the story. they’re people, too, with their own opinions, and they have the right to death-of-the-author just as much as any fan. if the only thing that comes out of ix is that actors openly endorsed and normalized the idea of a mlm interracial couple in one of the biggest franchises in the world and maybe let one little queer kid know they’re not alone, that’s an incredible feat! would it be disappointing? would it feel like being let on? maybe so. i’m absolutely not saying we should be okay with just this, stop at just this, that this will be enough to ‘placate’ us, that the actors saying “it could happen” is any form of real representation. but it is something, and if they only achieve paving the way for a queer couple in star wars in the future then that is still something. and if it doesn’t happen, it is absolutely not the fault of the actors who have done nothing but give their fans support.

me getting obsessed with finnpoe again because john and oscar wont stop teasing it in episode ix

also the thumb on lip thing?? Totally a stim! I do it too and it’s just like. Good. 10/10

Also, I relate so heavily to gansey and this is like... this is why

okay because i love to project, Gansey has ADHD like im sorry i don’t make the rules 

I mean think about it 

-his special interest is like Welsh king/Glendower stuff and has anything else ever really held his attention for more than five minutes 

-the 4am hyperfocus research spirals are too real honestly 

-insomnia, lots of folks with ADHD have severe trouble sleeping 

-he’s canonically a picky eater and has like his one go to nino’s order and this part is probably just me projecting, but me & a few other folks I’ve talked to that are on meds agree that our meds severely reduce appetite except for a couple very specific things we like 

-the thumb on lower lip thing could be a favorite fidget/potentially even stim? not sure abt that tho 

-he just has like zero interest in school honestly like he tries but it doesn’t hold his interest and he’s daydreaming a lot 

-he has a lot of insecurity and anxiety over not knowing when to shut up and saying things impulsively without thinking them through and like… hello, ADHD 

-he starts talking about Glendower and he just. keeps going because he’s very very very hyperfocused af on that 

-I know a lot of the anxiety thing stems from beefuck2k05 or whatever, but also tons of people with ADHD develop anxiety as a shitty half assed internal motivator and procrastination prevention mechanism 

-I’ve heard some people with ADHD say that driving a car that’s really mentally taxing to drive helps them focus while driving; Gansey drives a piece of shit stick with a Fucked alternator and a gearbox made of molasses 

-do I even need to get into the way Monmouth is constantly a mess, or 

-“his words were unerring tools of destruction" 

-his whole getting tired of places and itching to travel and constantly shifting and moving thing 

-overemotional 

 that’s all I’ve got for now, but like. yeah. I’m not by any means saying Maggie meant to write him as an ADHD character or anything bc IMO she didn’t, but I identify really strongly with him and I’m choosing to interpret it this way and y'all can fight me tbh. feel free to reblog this if u agree

Little ADHD class time things

~taking a sip of water every 5-10 seconds

~clicking your pen repeatedly until you realize you’re doing it

~doing that pen shaking thing with your fingers

~doodling

~more doodling

~WAIT SHIT TOO MUCH DOODLING

~tuning in in the middle of a sentence

~wait what was the professor saying about this right before this very second when I started listening again

~staring at the teacher without hearing anything they’re saying

~looking everywhere but the teacher and comprehending everything they’re saying

~looking around the room wait did I just see something looks again oh wait no that was something else looks at clock when is this class over looks at teacher looks lOOKS

~BLESS VISUAL AIDS

cleaning with ADHD is a nightmare. it’s an endless cycle of finding a half-finished chore and stopping the one you were already working on, then remembering that something else needs to be done and getting started on that, then finding half-finished chore and

[jack-has-a-brain]

When you touch your ear lightly and it has cartilage and it is Very Bad and you almost die and have to press down on it really hard to not think about it

when you touch a Bad Texture™ and have to scrub at ur hands until the feeling is gone

[jack-has-a-brain]

very much too real.

also:

- talking to someone for like thirty minutes and naming them your new best friend for the week even though you barely know them but like time to hyperfixate on them all the time

- knowing you’re being annoying but NEEDING TO TALK ABOUT THE THING

- having constant very long conversations with random people in your head when you can’t talk about the thing out loud

- messing one little thing up and crying because you think you’re a horrible person and having it be seen as overreacting and drama

adhd things no-one really talks about

- skewed sense of time eg; i can easily get there and back before my eggs cook!

- altered sense of reality//tendency to get sucked up in daydreams and temporarily lose track of real life

- extremely vivid daydreams// alternative realities

- feeling really lonely but getting the urge to isolate yourself for no reason

- getting overwhelmed by too many choices and freaking out

- hearing the instructions but not really being able to hold onto them

- people cant speak to you while you’re really focused on something because you can’t hold on to multiple things in your brain at once

- repeating things over and over in your head to try and remember them

- feeling like you never really appreciate things as much as you should because you get too sidetracked

- getting super excited by small things but sometimes feeling indifferent towards the things everyone’s raving about

- being self conscious from everyone telling you you’re annoying but being scared you’ll come off as boring

- getting hyperfixations on a certain person and getting really wrapped up on them regardless of if they like you back

- putting too much into things and getting disappointed when it’s not reciprocated

- constantly being told that you’re too intense and need to chill it out a bit

- ^ thinking you’re cool and desperately wanting to just be chill and laid back but your personality is just 24/7 overdrive

- building things up so much in your head to the point that it gets stressful because what if it doesn’t live up to expectations??

- extremely over-emotional (this includes when it’s inappropriate such as giggling at sad things and then feeling really bad after)

- feeling when you just don’t know when to stop

- getting increasingly uncomfortable in a situation for no apparent reason until you feel like you’re gonna cry or scream but you do none of that and just sit there

feel free to add on!

adhd and technology is such an insidious killer like. I COULD work on a project for class but I could also go on the Instant Gratification Machine. Guess which one wins.
