Oops.. I’ve Lost Track.. : A Post about Unintended Time Traveling

Have you ever mistook that today’s thursday and not a wednesday even if you’re so sure? Have you ever wondered why time flies so fast while nothing’s done for the day? Or maybe when those “five more minutes” promises turned into hours until its too late?

Then you might have problems with keeping track, managing, and predicting how long it takes to do something,, this is called time blindness. Which is common among neurodivergent folks.

So it was time travel..?

Surely, but not as fun as how movies convey them. Time blindness can affect people in different ways, such as:

Losing track of days, hours, or to minutes; not being aware how long it has been.

Have a faster/slower sense of internal clock. Meaning, minutes can feel like hours or vice versa.

Problems being on time to appointments, events, and etc; due to faulty predictions on how long it takes for something, such as dressing up or driving to the location.

Trouble remember when was the last time you ate a meal and drank water.

Over-focusing on a specific task/ interest and miss a huge chunk of your routine (compensating or catching up).

And more..

It often affects people with ADHD; but not always limited to autism, depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, bipolar, CDD, and even a byproduct of constant stress itself!

For the plurals out there:

There’s it’s own set of experiences + the addition of the general ones before, such as:

Time looks disoriented due to switching and lost sense of chronological anchor (can’t remember the previous moments to make sense how long time has gone by).

What happened long ago e.g. 1 month, felt like it happened last week. Vice versa.

Alters perceiving sense of time in different, varying speeds.

And, with the addition of CDD’s high comorbidity with other conditions that may worsen time blindness.

Systems can have a harder time due to the existing amnesia barriers that fragments memories, and sometimes this can be super stressful to deal with--but fret not! For whoever needs some tips, i gotchu.

What should i do??

Let's get straight to the point, here's the steps:

Create a routine. If you're prone to missing work or leisure due to it, or need to get things done on time,, having a planned schedule or routine will be the most important part. You can do this in any way preferred, for example, sticking to a 7-day plan that has your school/work/breaks in it already,, or if you're sporadic, you can pre-plan what to do for the day and jot them down as the goal.

Make use of accommodations. Set designated alarms,, maybe for your meals, or hydration reminders, or if you don't want to overshoot that gaming session. Putting clocks that can be visible in your vision also can help keeping you on track. Create checklists to keep track of your chores or whatnot. Maybe write down notes on today's progress, anything with your own creativity!

Break work into smaller steps to ease up. Sometimes procrastination can accompany time blindness, leaving us to do 0 work until its near deadline or the day is almost over, separating the tasks to smaller bits and do them in pieces on your own pace. And sometimes your focus is prone to wander to places if the task is too long or tedious/boring, so this also helps.

Be aware of which activities you're prone to forget time. List or remember them so whenever you wanted to hop back in a special interest, actively remind yourself beforehand and you may make use of number 2.

Lastly, commit to it. This is where all the magic is at, and there will still be days where it tumbles apart and you miss a couple of things.. don't worry, we all are never perfect, there'll always be a day or two where everything's messy and miss that deadline or other stuffs. You haven't failed, keep going.

I hope this could serve you hope that your time blindness is 100% manageable, this post is for every neuro-spicy folks (and systems) out there who's struggling with it,, and i hear your struggles! Feel free to add on your experience or engage with the post if you have any further questions.

Hi!! I love your writing so much 💕 and I had a request, I was wondering if you could do kenma comforting the reader after she lost all her saved game data?

Basically my ps4 decided to try to off itself this week and I had to factory reset it, which ended with me losing all of my saved data, for every game I've ever played on there (including 500+hours in just one of those games 🥲)

Anyway I was just thinking who else would understand this pain better than the pro gamer himself <3

Thank you!

oh no :( im sorry you lost all your data ive had that happen and it's lowkey depressing. i gotchu with the headcanon though don't worry

Kenma x reader who lost her game data! masterlist

one day you were chillin and playing your ps4... nothing strange happening at all

sike

your ps4 just powers off

and the woman was speechless

you sat there for a second looking at the black screen lowkey confused

me personally my ps4 is on life support so this is normal but anyway

you leaned forward and powered it back on

a few minutes later literally none of the games were working

it either had the "internet connection loss" message when you were literally right next to the router

or it just closed the game -_-

you texted kenma and asked what you should do

babe i think my ps4 died

wdym died?...

like it's not working

did you power it off and back on

it shut off by itself...

you might have to take it down to factory settings...

i can't do that do you know how much time i have invested in these games

babe idk what else to tell you

and so with a heavy heart, you opened the setting and took your ps4 down to factory settings

hundreds of hours of gameplay gone... because the mf ps4 decided to fuck up

you faceplanted on your bed

when you heard a soft knock at your door

you already knew who it was so you got up and opened your door to see Kenma with a dollar store bag in his hand and a dq blizzard in his hand

"babe, what're you doing?" you smiled at him

"losing your game data sucks, it's happened to me plenty of times." you and him walked to your room

he set the bag on the bed and handed you the blizzard as he went on his phone

you dug through the bag and saw candy, chips, and your favorite drinks

"omg Kenma, how much did you spend?" you picked up the receipt that read-

he snatched it

"dont worry bout it." he showed you his phone

it was one of his past streams

"chat, what should we play next, kinda bored."

you could see he was reading the chat and sipping on an energy drink

"babe what did i tell you about the energy drinks"

"shh"

on the stream you saw the screen go black, like yours did

"oh shi-" he choked on his drink

"kenma what did you do." you could hear kuroo's voice on the discord call they were on during the stream

"my ps4 just decided to not work."

"huh, that makes no sense."

"shut up and let me try to power it back on"

kenma skipped at couple minutes of the stream and you saw that his games were all glitchy too

"kenma you good?" kuroo asked

"bro i gotta take the system down to factory settings."

"are you sure? that's a lot of progress that you'll lose."

"yeah i know it's gonna suck."

sure enough, he did it on stream and all his progress was reset

kenma put his phone down as you fed him a bite of your blizzard

"see babe, it happens. it'll obviously take you longer to get your progress back bcs you play a lot less than i do, but we can have little gaming dates maybe?"

you kissed his cheek, "sounds great ken"

thank you for the request!! feel free to request more <3

Pokémon in: Omori

Chapter 7

As the kids left the junkyard, they heard a loud running noise. It was the stranger who nearly killed them all.

"Please help me, children. I am being pursued." He said.

"Don't worry. I gotchu!" Kel said. He hid the stranger in a crater and placed a pot on his head. When the strangers pursuers came, the gang "acted natural" by being as conspicuous as possible. Luckily, the pirates paid no mind. The man left the crater.

"Thank you children. My name is Pluto." He said.

"So why were you running from those guys?" Aubrey asked.

"I was in Captain Spaceboy's planetarium, but, I don't want to be just a planet, a decoration. I want to travel the worlds, see all there is too see! And so, I will start my dream… OF BEING A TRANSPORT SERVICE!" Pluto said.

"A transport service?" Hero asked.

"Yes! And since you helped me, this one will be free." Pluto said.

"Ok! Let's do this!" Kel said. Pluto turned around.

"Ok ok. GWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA! WELCOME TO PLUTO'S SPACELINE!"

The kids backed away.

"Too much?" Pluto asked.

"Yeah a little…" Hero said.

"Well, I'll work on it. Climb on." Pluto said.

Pluto held Hero and Aubrey while Omori and Mawile sat atop Pluto. Kel was looking for a spot.

"Alright! Let's go!" Pluto said.

"Wait wait I'm not ready!" Kel yelled, grabbing onto Pluto's leg before he jumped away. He held in for dear life.

"Alright, what is your destination?" Pluto asked. For three first time, Omori spoke up.

"Overworld Campsite." He said.

Pluto landed there.

"How was the flight?" Pluto asked.

"Comfortable, quick, and great in flight beverages. I give it a 10." Hero said.

"Speak for yourself!" Kel said, releasing Spinda from its Pokéball and collapsing on it.

"Young Kel, you have shown great strength. As such, I will show you my special technique! Repeat after me. WHEN I FLEX… I FEEL MY BEST!!!!!!!!!!!" Pluto said, flexing his arms.

Kel began to weakly flex his arm.

"WHEN I FLEX…I…feel my best?" He said.

"It needs work, but soon, you will achieve true strength!" Pluto said before taking off.

"We might as well see Mari before we go to Captain Spaceboy." Aubrey said.

The kids went over to Mari.

"Hey guys! What's up? Did you find the special mixtape?" Mari asked.

Omori nodded.

"Alright. But why not join me for a picnic before you go?" Mari asked. Vaporeon splashed Water onto the group.

"Seems it's in a playful mood." Hero said.

"Its always playful." Mari said.

The kids ate some space food before heading towards Captain Spaceboy's house. Armed and ready, though not expecting a fight, Omori thought back. It already seemed like the adventure of a lifetime, especially after attack.omo. That was terrifying. Mawile was practically dancing with Spinda and Bun Bun as they walked. There really was an air of excitement!

Once they got to Captain Spaceboy's, Kel grabbed the mixtape. The Pirate from earlier saw.

"Oh, you guys got the mixtape!" He said.

"Well, yeah, but…you see, Sweetheart and Spaceboyfriend broke up…" Hero said.

"WHAT?! Then this won't help at all!" The pirate said.

"Traeh sih ekorb gah taht ezilaer WON tsuj uoy did woh?" Kartana said.

Meanwhile, Kel had the tape. Hero went to grab it from Omori when he heard.

"WAKEY WAKEY SPACEBOYFRIEND!"

"KEL NOOOOOOOO"

It was too late.

"What is that… INFERNAL RACKET!?" Spaceboyfriend yelled, teleporting out of bed and changing the cassette.

"Ahahah! Oh I must thank you, children for getting me out of that depressed state. Now I can finally get revenge! Yes… Sweetheart…I'll make her PAY!" He yelled. His Pokémon cheered.

"You can't do that! And, your not even her boyfriend! You're not Spaceboyfriend, you're…Space Ex-boyfriend!" Aubrey yelled.

"Noitubirter siht sevresed namow taht tub, siht ekil steg eh nehw ekil ton od I. Evian era uoy, nerdlihc! Traehteews wonk ton od uoy!" Kartana yelled, unable to be understood. The kids took out their weapons, Pokémon got in fighting stances.

"You stand in MY way!? Then you shall taste defeat! Prepare for your demise!" Space Ex-boyfriend yelled!

Space Ex-boyfriend sent out Minior, Kartana, Clefairy, Lunatone, Solrock, and Poipole.

Omori sent out Ralts

Aubrey sent out Bun Bun

Kel sent out Spinda

Hero sent out Dolliv

Aubrey cheered on Omori as he went in for a lucky Slash. Kel flexed as Hero attacked. Meanwhile, Dolliv used Razor Leaf on Clefairy! It didn't do much…

Kartana used X-Scissor! It's cut right through Bun Bun, one shoting it! The Pokémon became afraid.

Aubrey sent out Nidoran ♀️!

Minior used Power Gem! Dolliv ran to avoid the Lazer! But it tripped.

Dolliv Fainted!

Hero sent out Sinistea!

Spinda used Dizzy Punch on Clefairy, confusing it! However, Spinda was soon taken out by Lunatone's Stone Edge.

Kel sent out Snom!

Ralts used Psychic! They needed to take out Clefairy! It was the healer. Clefairy hurt itself in its confusion.

Ralts was hit with a SludgeBomb from Poipole.

Omori sent out Mawile.

"Oh no! Our Pokémon!" Kel yelled, before a blast of Lazer turned him to toast!

Omori grabbed Life Jam.

"You can do it!" Aubrey cheered! Omori became Ecstatic?!

Hero smiled. Space Ex-boyfriend will only attack Hero.

The kid's Pokémon frantically dodged attacks! They knew the most they could do was chip away at Clefairy's health!

Mawile used Chomp and Sinistea used Shadow Ball! Both were knocked out with Acrobatics from Minior!

Omori sent out Musharna!

Hero sent out Tandemaus!

Snom used Powder Snow on Clefairy! It hit, but Clefairy snapped out of its confusion and used Moonblast! Snom Fainted!

"Guys I'm out of Pokémon!" Kel said after being revived.

Space Ex-Boyfriend released a Shockwave. It hit everyone.

Aubrey cheered on Omori

Omori became Manic!

He mocked Space Ex-boyfriend!

Hero made everyone snacks as Kel used Rebound!

"Gah! How are you still moving!?" Space Ex-boyfriend yelled. Space Ex-boyfriend became Enraged.

Nidoran ♀️ used Headbutt on Clefairy, only to be blasted aside by Solrock's Meteor Beam!

Nidoran ♀️ fainted!

Aubrey sent out Minccino!

Tandemaus used X-Scissor! It hit, but Kartana used Smart Strike!

Tandemaus Fainted! Hero sent out Volbeat!

Musharna used Hypnosis on Clefairy, and managed to dodge every attack.

Aubrey cheered on Kel. Kel became Happy! Kel throw a ball at Aubrey, who knocked it out of the park!

Omori used Lucky Slice. The attack whiffed. Space Ex-boyfriend Fired Wildly! Everyone got hurt.

Musharna used Dream Eater! Clefairy took Damage. Then, a Hidden Power from Poipole Fainted it.

Omori was out of Pokémon!

Minccino used Scratch! It was then hit by Lunatone's Cosmic Power!

Minccino fainted!

Aubrey was out of Pokémon!

Volbeat used Signal Beam! Clefairy woke up! It used Double Edge!

Volbeat Fainted.

Clefairy took Recoil Damage!

Hero sent out Milcery!

Milcery used Tackle before being hit by attacks from everyone except Lunatone, who used Future Sight!

Milcery fainted.

Hero sent out Audino! Audino used Hyper Voice!

Clefairy fainted.

A Stone Edge fainted it.

Hero ran out of Pokémon!

Kartana used X-Scissor on Omori!

Future Sight hit Hero and he turned to toast! Aubrey was hit by Minior's Dazzling Gleam!

Space Ex-Boyfriend looked wistfully in the distance.

Aubrey cheered on Kel again. Kel became Ecstatic!

Kel used Life Jam on Hero, while Omori used Hack Away. It hit everyone! It broke the shell of Minior, revealing an Indigo Core!

"I…I won't let you defeat me!" Space Ex-boyfriend yelled. He became Furious!

The Pokémon assaulted the group with attacks while Spaceboy fired wildly!

Aubrey cheered on Hero, before being turned to toast!

Omori knew they were losing and badly. As fun as the fight was, he was hurt and so were his friends. As he put Life Jam on Aubrey, he thought about what they needed to do! THEY COULDN'T LOSE!

Poipole used Toxic, poisoning Kel, Lunatone used Stone Edge, hitting Hero. Solrock used Rock Slide. The kids ran to dodge the rocks, but they all got hurt! Minior used Acrobatics! It missed.

Kartana used X-Scissor! It hit Omori. Omori did not succumb!

"Out of my way, earthly scum! This is your last chance!" Space Ex-boyfriend yelled, firing wildly. He hit everyone but Omori. One more hit for each and they would be out!.

"Thgif ot eunitnoc ouy dluohs nwod uoy tuc etatiseh ton lliw I. Rednerrus, esaelp, revewoh. Stnenoppo yhtrow era nerdlihc uoy, timda I." Kartana said.

Omori looked at his friends. He called them together! This would be their final stand! He called them together for their ultimate attack!

Aubrey repeatedly hit Space Ex-boyfriend with all her might!

Kel threw his ball and let it Rebound as much as he could!

Hero smacked Space Ex-boyfriend!

And Omori, with the last of his strength, rushed at Space Ex-boyfriend and stabbed and Sliced wildly and as much as possible.

"Ugh…my heart…it hurts…" Space Ex-boyfriend boyfriend said before fainting. His Pokémon went to his side! He got up. His hair turned Pink. He lost his eyepatch.

"H-huh? What happened? W-Where am I? W-who are you? Oh, hello... I'm CAPT. SPACEBOY!

It's a pleasure to meet y-" Spaceboy clutched his chest.

"OWW, MY CHEST! Ah... I see... My other half must have gotten the better of me.I must apologize. Your actions were likely well-justified.

I just hope I didn't cause you all too much trouble. I've been having a hard time controlling my emotions lately.

I try my best to keep them at bay, but it's becoming much more difficult. SWEETHEART... She was the love of my life…"

It's almost impossible for me to imagine life apart from her." He went over and grabbed the mixtape.

"This SPECIAL MIXTAPE is full of mine and SWEETHEART's favorite songs. I put so much love into making this for her. Thank you all for returning it to me.

This is still full of precious memories after all. I GUESS I'M A BIT LOST. I'm afraid no amount of rest can truly heal a broken heart. I must find another way to get over this…"

Suddenly two Pirates came in.

"Boss! We're sorry but…"

"Pluto…your favorite planet escaped!"

"PLEASE DON'T HURT US!"

Spaceboy turned around.

"AH, I SEE. It's okay, you two. I'm sure even the planets get bored turning slowly all day. Perhaps PLUTO was never meant to be a planet. Also, you don't have to call me SPACE BOYFRIEND anymore.

I'm CAPT. SPACEBOY!"

"OH THANK YOU!" The Pirates cheered and left.

Spaceboy approached the kids, who were just managing to stand up.

"I can't thank you enough for what you've done. Who knows what would've happened to me and my crew if you all didn't show up? You have my thanks. If you ever need anything from me or the SPACE PIRATES, please don't hesitate to ask." He said.

"Well… our friend Basil went missing! He has green hair, and a flower crown, and overalls!" Kel said

"... No, I'm afraid I haven't...

But if I do see anything, you'll be the first to know." Spaceboy said. Aubrey started to tear up.

"Uh-oh... Please, little lady... Don't cry!

Errr... Here, take this too!"

Spaceboy gave her 4 Sno-Cone tickets.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

"Ah... Please don't cry, little lady!"

Omori grabbed her, and held her. She calmed down.

"You must keep your hopes up, little lady!

If it gets too hard to bear, try eating a SNO-CONE!

It might make things a little easier .I mustn't keep my crew waiting.

Good luck with everything, and thanks again!" Spaceboy said before leaving!

"Well, alls well that ends well. Let's go see Mari" Hero said.

The kids went to see Mari. They passed her by though, when Omori saw who he thought was Basil. He ran into Cattail field with Ralts. But when the others followed, he wasn't there!

Omori tried to go back. But nothing was there. He hugged Ralts and continued through the maze. He ended up in a small area with books. There were some cookies.

"Mari's cookies…Mari's cookies have much more love baked into them. I could eat them forever." A voice said. It sounded familiar, but Omori couldn't place it. The cookies vanished. He and Ralts continued on. Ralts knew what this was. Vague memories…

In an area with Watermelons and Beach Stuff, the voice returned.

"Watermelons…are my favorite part of summer…"

The Watermelons dissappeared. Omori was confused. But this somehow, didn't feel scary. It was almost…nice. Calming. Nostalgic. And area with puzzles and a car was next.

"We're still young. We can dream big, right?"

The puzzles vanished. Ralts hugged Omori's leg, trying not to cry.

An area with a fence, benches and an umbrella was next.

"Are you going on ahead? Don't worry about us… We'll catch up in a minute."

The Umbrella vanished. Ralts let the tears fall. Omori picked it up and held it close. He carried the Pokémon the rest of the way. Up next was a picnic table with a cake.

"A wish? But what should I wish for? I have everything I could want right here."

The cake vanished. Snow was falling. Omori was getting cold. He shivered as Ralts snuggled closer.

Up next was an area with lots of presents.

"This year, you get just one present… from all of us."

The presents vanished. Omori felt…melancholy…

Finally, they saw the Stranger, who vanished into a glowing Red Barn. Ralts and Omori felt uneasy, but went inside.

Inside was a picture frame. Omori and Ralts walked into it. Inside was a long black hallway. Ralts became afraid as Omori continued to walk. He got a Hangman Key - F. He finally reached the end. There was sheet music and a portrait. As Omori approached, and Ralts could see a Noose. Ralts began to panic. The portrait became defaced, the notes were scribbled out. Omori tried to calm Ralts down, but decided to leave. Maybe that would make things better. Than…something appeared behind them. It quickly caught up and-

Omori was in whitespace. A heartbeat could be heard. He had his knife. It was almost…calling to him. He grabbed and

STAB

Omori collapsed to the ground. As things faded, a figure of black, white and red came from the lightbuld.

Mist disapaited. The Pokémon regained their color as Sunny awoke. Knocking could be heard. Sunny went to the Bathroom and saw his reflection.

Then he went to the door. Ralts could tell he was afraid, because yesterday…

"Helllooooo... Helllloooooooooooo?

Sunny? Are you there?"

It was Kel! But then again, they heard Mari yesterday and look what happened.

"Do you remember me? It's your old friend, KEL! So, I... uh... I noticed the "FOR SALE" sign in front of your

house... and I... err... heard from my mom that you were

moving away soon. I was wondering... if you wanted to hang out one more time

before you go... or whatever... for old time's sake, y'know?"

Sunny backed away. Ralts used Pychic to try and MAKE him open the door! This could be it! This could be how we save Sunny! Then they saw his fear. They looked and reassured him. They got into fighting stances as Sunny opened the door. And they saw Kel.

You know, I make these depressive posts and post them and then privatize them and then un-privatize them and then privatize them again and then delete them and then make another depressed post 20 minutes later and post it and privatize it and the result is that a couple of my friends might know what's going on if they happen to be on Tumblr at 12:37 and 42 seconds BUT now Tumblr is showing me ads for what are probably wretchedly sketchy clinical trials of depression treatments, so listen, even when you think no one hears you, the algorithm is listening and I think that's beautifHAHA noooope 2021's just being its creepy self

[formymeg]

the essay

"I said the word 'dick' quite a lot then." a wise man once said, which, of course, happened to be the 2014 internet sensation, Daniel Howell.

i don't know why i started the paragraph with such quote, i just looked up "funny dan and phil quotes" and found that. OH. and also because you like dicks so yeah.

anyways. this is my second time writing a whole birthday essay for you (which i only do to quite a few so please be flattered okay)

i actually don't really know what to say so i'll begin with the basics first. happy 21st birthday meg! i wish you the happiest of birthdays because i only want your life to be filled with happiness.

i wish u a bunch of lucks with school so u can be a good nurse *claps* and a slay one on top of that. i hope u get all As on ur grade and continue to slay. i hope ur anti-vax family will soon realize that they contribute to human extinction. i hope u get ur own room sooner or later if thats possible. and i hope u continue to be the swaggiest person i ever know.

YEEHAW.

okay here's the uh.. that part yeah.

ur 21, which means ur adulting.. i wish u nothing but the best man +_+ i hope u can go thru the adulting phase which is just right in front of u.. its gonna be hard(er) as time passes, and you will soon realize how those suicidal, depressing thoughts you had when you were 16 until 18 were actually nothing. and thats why life sucks!

but dont worry, if things get hard, u can always vent to me. i'm always here to listen. just dont bottle up ur emotions like we all (humans, adults, especially Mulaney) do okay. i'll support u with whatever u do and i'll always be your number one supporter. mulaney got ur back too. from the back. but its okay.. as long as he gotchu. ʚ(╹ڡ╹)ɞ

okay but who would've really thought we'd make it out alive this far LMFAOOOO :/ thats awkward :/

anyways, i really wanted to say this to u, seeing how much you've grown in a year -by grow i mean mentally! its time to appreciate yourself. let me try to elaborate.

drumroll pls! ᕕ(⌐■_■)ᕗ ♪♬

ever since u told me about ur bumble phase and how u went to hook up with one guy to another, i feel like u've become... how should i say this... less sadder? or more mentally stable? lol idk but thats how i feel. u tweet less depressing thoughts and more of u being "happy". which i'm genuinely happy about. i'm happy to see u have become less lonely and i really mean it, i do (T⌓T)

and... i guess i'd like to mostly thank emilio for that LMFAOOO. truly didnt expect to be friends with him but thank you for introducing me to him so i can feel like u let me into part of your life. idk if that really makes sense since im blabbering right now (ノ_<。)

so yeah, thank you for being more open with me. i think my last years birthday wish to u was for you to open up with me and you actually do so i'm grateful.. :D

okay lastly i'd like to thank you. thank u for the netflix dates, the late night convos, the random tiktoks, the song reccs, the funny memes, the gay talks, and the endless skull emojis.

thank you for being my friend, thank you for being alive, and thank you for existing.

i guess thats all i could say to you. i'm so glad to know you meg, i hope u will always be happy. i love you, my meg <3

p.s sorry if its really cringe. but i think i spent the last 45 mins writing this LMFAOOOFUCKSJSJDJ.

sincerely, mei (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡
