K so I have a question because ADHD did ADHD things

If humanity was cursed to only live for as long as the year of their birth (EXAMPLE; someone born in 1872 would live until they were 1,872 y/o), would people born before time was recorded just.... cease to exist? Like, would things they made and did and genetics they put forth just.... disappear?

Discuss.

Hiii star! I love ur Headcanons/ideas for Timmy! He’s so adorable and my whole childhood <3

I need more of em :>

WAIT HOLY SHIT UR THE ONE OMORI FAIRLY ODD PARENTS ARTIST?? BROO I LOVE UR AU SO MUCH!! I have a BUNCH of silly head canons and ideas in my heard for Timmy :D

- Timmy is actually a smart kid, he’s able to figure out stuff rather quickly and is very quick on his feet, he just deals with mildly severe ADHD ^_^ (he just like me FR)

- Timmy couldn’t decide on a major and kept switching between them during his first 2 years of college

- Timmy’s room becomes more and more decorated with memorials from his adventures that could pass as stuff he got from the store

- Timmy’s closest also had to be expanded with how much stuff Timmy had from his adventures

- Timmys Time skooter used to be one of the only ways to time travel outside of Father Time (basically it was a secret item Timmy had that he only used for emergency’s)

- Timmy LOVES skateboarding and Rollerskating when he’s a teenager, he feels like he’s flying with his fairies.

- Timmy didn’t get his license until he was 18, as he crashed the car a few times at first.

- His most common wish is usually summoning toys or gadgets for Peri/poof to play with

- Timmy always lists Peri as his little brother in assignments that tell you to make a family tree

- Timmy was the only godkid allowed to dimension-hop

- Jimmy neutron and Timmy turner stay in touch as the years go by, staying close as they valued each others friendship greatly. (until one day Timmy stops messaging Jimmy when he turns 18? What’s that all about.)

- Timmy’s considered a peace maker across the galaxy, and also has a bounty on his head for millions of dollars in whatever space currency there is

- He starts his own video game club, trixie uses her disguise to play sometimes and Timmy doesn’t mind her

- Timmy learns how to deal with fairy hair so that he can help Peri and Wanda with different hairstyles (and sometimes Cosmo but he usually just keeps it down)

- As Timmy gets older he and Jorgen actually meet outside of when he’s in trouble and offer each other advise sometimes or just hang out. And also to tell the other when the universe is ending but who gaf

- Timmy starts becoming really fond of sitcoms since most of them feature found family

- Timmy starts learning how to draw and has a dedicated sketchbook just for his adventures with his fairy fam, so that he had some way to see everything it after his memories were erased

- Timmy gave his Pink hat to peri on his 18th birthday, it’s collecting dust on Peris Bookshelf right now

- Timmy tried to play match maker with his friends as he got older which resulted in a stern talking to from Cupid

- Timmy is a horrible cook until he turns 18, and actually tries for once cause he dosent have much to do anymore

- Timmy is a bit obnoxious with his music taste sometimes (Name 5 My chemical romance songs rn 🙄) (he means well and gets over it)

- Timmy listens to a lot of Midwest emo, and hyperpop. No one likes listening to his playlists cause of the drastic whiplast the change in songs is sometimes

- Timmy wishes less and less as he gets older but he always needs Cosmo and Wanda, just for their bond. He always goes to them for advice

- Timmy sucks ass at sports, he still tries though but sometimes he will fake being sick so he can sit out of gym

- the day before Timmy turned 18 was the time he used the most wishes (aka trying to find loopholes)

- Timmy started to have an appreciation for sea creatures that never faded away as he grew up

- I MISS TIMMY TURNERRRRR 😭😭😭😭

I haven't seen it yet but full hc for the m6 with an MC on the ADHD spectrum

The Arcana HCs: M6 with an MC who has ADHD

~ @themushroomgoesyeet hope you like these! I'm writing half from personal experience, half from what I've read and heard. Please let me know if there's anything that need correcting! ~

Julian

ADHD is a less familiar subject for him, if only because his areas of specialty so far have been contagious diseases and battle wounds

He's also not really one to judge you for difficulty keeping a sleep schedule, self-medicating with caffeine, or spending days on end obsessively learning everything you can about a specific subject

What's abundantly clear to him, though, is that you do not deserve to live with the guilt that comes from your own brain hijacking every commitment and interest that it doesn't prioritize

He knows what it's like to feel guilty for something that wasn't your fault, and he doesn't like seeing you live with it

The way he sees it, he's even more to blame for his shortcomings than you are, because you're actively working against your own brain and he's just ... sad (you'll have to tell him that this is not true)

This is going to become one of those shared challenges you tackle together as a couple

He'll write down all the bad effects of too much caffeine to motivate him to reduce your combined intake

You remind him to go to bed with you at a decent hour and call it "poetry time" instead of "bedtime" to trick both of your brains into not thinking of it as the end of the day

Asra

They love you. They love you so much. They never, ever want to get in the way of your preferences and vision

He enables you maaaybe a little more than he should

Staying up late is a great idea! Spending the entire day on your current fixation with no break to go outside or talk to people? Hey, don't let them ruin your fun ~

Thankfully, he cares about you far too much to leave you to engage in anything genuinely self destructive

Once the amount of caffeine you've consumed goes from "inadvisable" to "concerning," once your sleep schedule goes from "not ideal" to "dysfunctional", they'll step in in the gentlest way

Another cup of coffee? Let him get you some soothing tea. Another all-nighter? Snuggle him first, let him help you meditate a bit and see if you don't get drowsy

Nobody can combat executive dysfunction like this magician

All it takes is them feeling the slowly building dread through your bond, and they're lovingly poofing you off of the couch/floor/counter and into a very ticklish hug

His lifestyle is heavily ADHD coded as it is. He remains completely unfazed by the roller coaster that your brain can be

Nadia

To her, you are the best possible version of her opposite

She has a hard time changing between trains of thought. You reboot yours every time you walk through a door!

She sometimes forgets to slow down and appreciate the small things in favor of the bigger picture. You, on the other hand, are constantly pausing to notice them

And don't get her started on how much she admires your capacity to learn so much specialized knowledge in such a short period of time. It's truly astonishing and she adores it

However, she can tell that leaving it unchecked and untreated will make it difficult for you to function in the Palace's normal setup, much less follow regular routines

Quick to find a specialist in your condition and set up a few sessions with them, coming up with ways to work with your diagnoses and exploring medication options that you like

Insanely good at helping you keep your mind on track and regulate your attention and focus levels, even when it means pulling you away from a task that's about to eat up half your day

Likes to idly study the chaotic way you manage your personal spaces and try to figure out what the method to the madness is

Muriel

What, you think he's not used to living with a chaotic being that'll start three projects in a row before randomly walking out and not reappearing for several hours? Please.

Truthfully, there are some small things that annoy him. He likes predictability, and your base state of functioning is taking the next random tangent. That's not easy to not worry about

However, he knows that living with him takes plenty of patience as well. As long as you two can be patient with each other's quirks, and respectful when you lovingly intervene, that's what matters

He still loves hearing you ramble

He likes watching your eyes light up, listening to the excited lilt of your voice as you infodump all the new specialized knowledge you've gobbled up

That aside, he does love learning. Each of your new fixations is a new field of education for him by proxy

He's also someone who thrives on habit and routine and isn't afraid to put his foot down when your wellbeing is involved

He will scoop you up in his arms and lovingly carry you to bed when the bags under your eyes get too prominent and you start to nod off mid-sentence

Portia

Portia looks at you like you hung the moon. Portia thinks that every magical thing you do is mind-blowingly amazing. Portia assumes that all of your little quirks and non-habits are just you being you

Hey, if finding one specific food and eating it and only it for days on end is something you want to do, cool! Maybe it's secretly satisfying some magician's craving!

You're going to think about one thing and one thing only and learn everything there is to know about that thing? That's some badass scholarly behavior right there.

Well - except for the part where you forget something exists as soon as it's not in your hand anymore, or where time really does seem like a social construct, or where you somehow get physically and mentally stuck in one spot without being able to move

That looks ... miserable

Nobody can manage chaos like she can. She'll help you snap out of it, she'll remind you to eat and sleep and take your meds, she'll regularly ask when last you went outside or took a bath

And when you mess up - when you miss an event, or fall behind schedule, or leave things to pile up until they're too much - she'll be right next to you with an encouraging smile and plenty of grace

Lucio

This works either really well or really poorly, depending on the day, how he's doing, how you're doing, what you're both supposed to be doing, what the weather's like ...

It's unpredictable, but that's the fun of it!

Much of the time, your strong points support each other. There are few feelings Lucio hates more than boredom, but with a brain like yours around, there's always something new to try or think about

Few things cause the kind of bone-deep discouragement and guilt that constantly missing things does, but nobody values the importance of trying again like he does

On the other hand, sometimes you accidentally enable each other

Lucio's still learning the self-regulation involved with choosing to do something unpleasant and important over doing something enjoyable and completely useless

And if your brain decides that said pleasant thing is the only thing it's going to function for, well, not getting sidetracked is almost impossible. Good luck to you both

Thankfully, you both have a lifestyle that allows for unusual schedules and working styles. As long as you have each other to keep trying growing, you'll never get stuck for long

What if I just become an annoying ADHD money blogger sometimes

#adhd adult money liveblogging

If you have problems saving money (especially emergency savings money) because you always spend it on too many impulse purchases, or take money out of your savings to cover your fun money:

you need to open a savings account with a new bank. The more impulsive you are, the more I recommend a small credit union or online only bank, or a really local bank. Someone whose online fund transfers to other banks takes three whole business days, so you literally can't just instant transfer money from savings to your checking account to spur of the moment buy things. If you're afraid this defeats the point of an emergency savings fund in the case of, well, an emergency, set up a small checking account with a minimal amount at this bank too, and just set aside the debit card somewhere you won't frequently use because it won't have much money until you pull it from emergency savings and put it in the checking account.

Look for one with a high APY relative to having basically no deposit minimum (mine is like 3%) and no minimum deposit or monthly fees. The APY is basically when bank sometimes pays you money for not spending money. It will be like, cents at first. Change in the sofa cushions. But over time, it will be more. Don't worry about it. It's just surprise money for later. Not a lot, mind you. But you're a competitive winner and every cent they give you FREE is a success to zap your brain with dopamine. (Eventually if you have enough money you can do this by like, investing in shit or buying CDs and they just give you MORE MONEY. BUT!!! BABY STEPS.)

This is crucial: if you have some kind of direct deposit paycheck set up, see if you can SPLIT the direct deposit between multiple accounts. The company my job uses to pay people allows us to choose between depositing a fixed dollar amount to certain accounts (with "remainder of paycheck balance" being automatic for one account), OR depositing a percentage of my paycheck to certain accounts. (Percents of a paycheck tend to be higher to start). If you don't get paid this way, figure out a good date to set a recurring transfer from your checking to your savings for an amount so it won't sit in your spendy account long. The goal is to pretend like you just actually never had the savings money in that paycheck. Poof. Gone. Disappeared. It got saved before you became aware of the money.

Feel free to start with a small amount. It can be $5 or whatever. Once you start doing this for a few paychecks look at your money. If you're not genuinely struggling to stay afloat after 2-3 months and are still comfortable, try increasing the number a little. Repeat as needed.

Now you've saved money. 🎉

This is genuinely how I managed to save money more consistently than anything else I've ever tried. Savings money goes in the secret money account. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Incredibly silly but it works.

[aviiarie]

heheheheheheheh i giggle very very loudly when i get notification from you posting hehehehehehehehehehe that's what it sounds like. call me helium the way i go He He He He He

rina naming all of her plushies. Oh My God. BECAUSE LITERALLY SHE'D HAVE MORE THAN YOU COULD POSSIBLY EVER COUNT IN A SINGLE DAY AND SHE'D NEVER EEEEEVER FORGET THEIR NAMES EVER. her brain goes elephant mode for them and if one went missing. SHE'D KNOW IMMEDIATELY. AS SOON AS IT POOFS FROM HER ROOM. SHE'S MILES AWAY, IN A DIFFERENT NATION, BUT SHE KNOWS SOMETHING IS OFF. she's like Spider-Man but instead of spider senses she has plushie senses which. i guess means she got bitten by a radioactive plushie um idk it makes sense wouldn't put it past her

i have amnesia and therefore am very prone to forgetting Literally Everything Ever sososo mayhaps i am projecting a little. Probably. but even if you forget the names of some of her plushies she wouldn't be mad at you and would be so sweet and caring and gentle and remind you with the softest curve of her lips uncovering ivory hidden underneath and Oh MY GOS RINA MY SWEETIE WAAAAAAH WAAAAHHHHH SHE MAKES ME SO SO SOOOO ILL. SO ILL OJHHHHHHRRRRRRR FURINNAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARHHRHRHHHHHGGGGGG

it would appear that we are on the same wavelength. Curious. How Curious. furina lovers love together...... AND WE LOVE YOU TOO!!!!!!!!! WAHOOOOOOO

Very Very Excited For The Next Fic. Furina Or Not. although although furina hyperfixation is telling me very very strongly that FURINA FIC AAEKRKROOFOOOOOOOOO AWOWODJJHHFJJJNH RAAAAAAHHHHHH INCOHERENT BABBLING INCOHERENT BABBLING RAMBLE RAMBLE RAMBLE

i feel like i'm missing something else but we #ball SO. FOR NOW. FURINA'S WIFE. OUT!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF <333

PLUSHIE SPIDER SENSES YOU'RE SO RIGHT. she would hate people touching them as well, like excuse me they are arranged very particularly do not move them. (except for her s/o. they're the only one allowed to rearrange her plushies, because she knows they will do it with love and care.)

SHE WOULD BE SO SWEET ABOUT IT!! i have slight memory problems too (it's the adhd *sobs*) but she would be so accommodating with that. gentle reminders, no judgement, endless patience.... she wouldn't accept apologies about it either, like you try to say sorry for forgetting one of the plushies she is rolling her eyes and tapping you on the nose and chiding you for apologizing for something you can't control.

we are definitely on the same wavelength.... we are bouncing a braincell between us and it is constantly screaming FURINA FURINA FURINAAA because furina lovers just think alike.

HEHEHE THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT <33 i have a few upcoming fics planned actually (one or two are furina!! though there are a couple for some other fandoms-) that i'm pretty excited for :D

YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF TOO <3333

[wheelbugthe-pan]

This kinda goes with my last post exploding about Kaz’s official art but oh well. So. I know have a new joke with a few friends. I will randomly text or dm them this picture of Kaz and say “GET KAZED BITCH” they hate and love me for it. (I should clarify I’m reading the books with like 2 other friends) and if any of you are wondering. Yes I have adhd. Yes Six Of Crows is now a new hyperfixation. If you do not like that. Go poof.

OC blorbo lore!

Harp, despite being hero of courage and not having the goddess powers, does have some magical ability! Because she still is a descendant of Hylia!

She has sunlight powers! (I brainstormed these with my mama @dragonsglare <3) Harp has fire powers (a VERY bad idea on the goddesses’ part 🤣)

has minor control over the growth of plants, can energize/invigorate others and herself

can sedate people/creatures with warmth (sounds not like a sunlight power? How about the afternoon sun’s ability to make you Super Sleepy?) (also she has to be careful with this one and only uses it on monsters like bokoblins. Because with her ADHD, she uh. Gets distracted sometimes. And if you’re using warmth to put something to sleep, and get distracted, sometimes it uh. Goes poof. So yeah. Monsters only. 🤣)

along that same vein, Harp can also calm/soothe people and provide warmth.

One last power (if I’m not forgetting something lol) is she can create light. Like a ball of sunlight, but somehow not painful to look at. She can hold the light hovering over her palm, or set it to hover midair, grow or shrink it, etc.

The catch to all these seemingly OP powers is that they all are Very Draining to perform, and she often doesn’t notice she’s overdoing it until she finishes (read: she hyper-focuses on the magic and forgets Limits and Physical Needs exist). So she’s gotta be careful when casting/using it, although she does still use her powers regularly

Her Link, Scholar, also helps her in that regard since he a) has the goddess powers and b) is, shockingly, a scholar, and thus has learned a lot about magic and all that jazz

[snowieluna]

So we finished Attorney Woo last night, and wow. It's got me reflecting back on when I worried I might be on the spectrum. Honestly, I don't know if I am neurodivergent in some way. I was thinking for a while it might be ADHD. There are a lot of things that click for both. I wonder if there's some other third option. There are a lot of little things that I've been used to for so long.

I've always been horrible with eye contact. Dad used to complain that it looked like I wasn't paying attention or didn't care.

My reaction time is terrible. There have been times something's spilled and I'm like stuck where I can't move until someone gets angry. Also why I hate team sports.

I feel like I'm always in the way.

I'm terrible with weird food textures. If it's too chewy, I feel like I'll choke and I get anxious. It's what made me not like steak in the past because Mom overcooks it. Mushrooms feel wrong and not like food.

I used to freak if my food was touching, but I've calmed down with that a lot. Same with making food a certain way. Like only circle pickle slices could go on burgers, and they preferably have to be in a flower shape so they take up the most surface area. Long pickles go on sandwiches. Any spread that goes on bread has to cover the whole piece, edge to edge. I can't do sesame seeds on bread. I rip off the crust or pick them off. Tea needs just enough milk so the colour lightens. Cereal needs to enough to be wet - a thin layer at the bottom of the bowl. I can't do pulpy drinks or strawberry ice cream. The frozen seedy chunks are gross. Same for chia or if a powdered drink hasn't completely dissolved.

I'm bad with processing my emotions or understanding what I'm feeling. When I was younger, it was easier to just say I was neutral because also! It's hard to know if I'm feeling the correct emotion. Like what do you want me to be feeling right now? Is it too much or too little? I get overly invested in fictional characters more than real people. I cry so easily.

If I'm feeling too much, it's like I go numb and shut down. I used to hurt myself more when I was overwhelmed. When I was younger, I'd hit my head against my wall because I was upset but felt unallowed or unable to express it. In arguments with JM over something I did wrong again, I'd start to feel like I was floating above my body and that'd worry me. So then I'd press my fingers hard into the edge of my keys, or my nails into my hand, or I'd pick at skin imperfections. Now I'm realizing I was trying to ground myself, but back then, he just thought I was hurting myself, and that made him more upset, which made me feel worse. I'd try to focus on what he was saying, but it would be on small details that I felt I could process, but I was still wrong because I wasn't seeing the whole picture to him. (I still do this when I'm super upset/overwhelmed/whatever.) I wouldn't remember after what either of us had said, only that we were both upset and that it was probably my fault.

I used to hold my breath unintentionally while crying. I think trying to hold back the sounds, but it'd feel like pressure was building.

I can't focus much on stuff I don't care about. I feel like I was only good at school when I was younger because I was a perfectionist and needed good grades. Parents didn't even put that much pressure on me, but once I was doing well, it feels like that's the norm, so I have to uphold that standard. I could memorize enough for tests, but unless it was about specific things I liked, poof it's gone. Do well on tests, be quiet but also social. But not too social! Follow the rules. Be well behaved. Try to be good to make up for the fact that I'm not charismatic or athletic.

I'm really bad at multitasking or doing things in a way that doesn't seem logical. At the lab, I'd get mad because I had a plan for that day. I was going to get x done, but now they want this from me instead. Or I'd have a bunch of samples ready to go with a certain mobile phase. Then a day later, get another that could've gone with the first batch. So I have to wait until I have enough to test together, or it feels wrong. If I'm cleaning at home and in the right mood, I need to get as much done as I can before the energy's gone.

Which leads to me not eating consistently. Because if I'm in the middle of something, I don't want to stop. I'll eat later. Yeah my stomach feels so empty, but I gotta finish. Yeah my meds alarm went off, but I'll just take them later. Gotta keep going before I get distracted and lazy.

I'm not great with time management. I don't know how long I'm going to take unless I break it down. And even then I sometimes underestimate because I feel like I'd be keeping people waiting too long, or just because I need more sleep. Then I space out or stuff comes up, and oh I'm late now. Or I get overly anxious about being late that I'm way too early, or can't focus on anything else but being on time.

Sleeping early has always been hard. I'm convinced part of why I was so depressed in middle school was from sleep deprivation. I couldn't sleep until midnight-ish, then be up by 5:45am/6am. At night, I wouldn't have enough time to decompress in between homework, eating, showering, and planning for the next day. When I got to college and could take afternoon classes, it was such a relief. But the change in environment was it's own form of stress.

I guess this whole rant started was because I saw a post on how Young-woo struggled with the revolving door potentially due to vestibular and propioception issues. It got me thinking of when I go down stairs and it feels like I'm going to miss one and fall. (Plus the anxiety of potentially being embarrassed or hurt if I fell. And the anxiety of I'm backing up traffic and look like an idiot who can't use stairs.) Or the dizzy feeling when I've tried VR or watched 3D movies. Like I need to hold onto something for dear life. How I hate the dropping feeling in my stomach on big bumps in the road or on roller-coasters. (I had an anxiety attack on the last big one I tried. I thought I was going to die.) Trying to visualize a car in the center of the lane has thrown me off so much, so I'm still scared of driving. (Even though I want to try again this year. I'm super scared of trying to park.) I can't ride a bike or rollerblade because I couldn't get the hang of balancing and moving at the same time. (And more of the embarrassment of falling and not getting it right away.)

I can't swim because the idea of water getting in my eyes, nose, ears, or mouth makes me panicky. But goggles, ear and nose plugs feel uncomfortable. The goggles get blurry and I can't see. The nose plug hurts my nose. Ear plugs I can deal with even though they make my breathing and heart beat sound super loud.

Senses are weird. I can't do super bright lights or loud sounds. The sounds if I'm not ready make me feel like I'm drowning. (But weirdly enough, if I'm particularly moved by music, I can feel like I'm drowning, but in a good way. I guess it's like a firm hug as opposed to a crushing squeeze?) Smells don't bother me too much unless it's fish. It can make me nauseous. If a room is too hot and the humidity is off, I feel like I can't breathe. It feels like my nose is stuffed with cotton or like I'm breathing through a straw, and it scares me. I love hugs because they feel safe. My hair being played with is so nice (or pulled if in a spicy setting. Same for spanks.) I like holding hands, but mine get so sweaty. I love dancing when I don't have to think. I love feeling textures on skin, except sometimes I pick without meaning to.

I've run out of steam and I wanna eat something.

I'm so sad.

I was doing ok until I thought about how lonely and weird I am.

I feel like I'll never belong anywhere because they only way to belong seems to be to compromise yourself. Then that isn't really belonging ?

I was doing ok today. It was nice to be around my old coworkers today. At least the ones I like and miss. I never really felt a part of that workspace as I'm just too odd. I understand customer / employee interactions for the most part but I struggle with relating with coworkers most of the time.

I just feel too weird. It feels like I'm never going to find anyone who i fit in with. And I feel like I'll never be confident in spaces because every weird space expects you to be an expert in whatever community you're in and I have adhd and a bad memory.

Like i enjoy jfashion but unless I'm currently entrenched in it I don't remember much about it. Even if it was only last month that I was.

Its like * poof *

A part of my appointment today was a mental health chat and it honestly felt really wasted as I don't entirely jive with that person. I feel like surrounded by people Its easy to be positive but I get home and I feel so hopeless.

Like i know I need to get out there but it feels futile.

Its so hard being a shy and autistic extrovert lol

The only group I am apart of i don't feel a part of. HELL I don't even feel apart of my own family. Isn't that the clue I'll never feel like I belong.

I'm just so jealous of how much easier it is for partner to belong.

So what now ?

What do I do with my evening ?

I could message sage to see if she is up to something but I feel like last minute goes bad and honestly I feel embarrassed about talking to much last time.

I could just go out somewhere by myself but I feel like I shouldn't? Like out somewhere would be a bar. And that's weird for a married woman to do alone.

I feel like I spent all my alone time energy drawing today and I don't want to anymore.

I could try to find some clothes for a costume but I feel like im scared to drive.

I really miss connecting to people by telling them my fun sex life. That sounds so fucked but like everyone loves to hear a messy story and I got to be vulnerable and myself. I guess I did have to compromise but I didn't understand that yet... so it hits different.

I'm calming myself down.

I just get so frustrated. I don't know how to make a hobby and find like minded people.

I don't know who I am and I feel bad at everything.

What am I even good at ?

I'm trying to come up with a new username for things and I feel like I don't know who I am.

This is called mail delivery!

:DDD

the adhd urge to exhaustively organize and catalog things vs. the adhd immediate forgetting of where you put literally everything

Haven't written in a while, works been good, I'm doing just fine in regards to that but RSD is spooking me because I have been confronting some close friends about some things that means a lot to me. Anyways I made this post because I yet again realize that I cannot see myself with the respect I give others, I feel so plain in the sense that my emotions are like bubbles bouncing off in comparision to embracing the waterfalls that are the emotions of everybody else. And I don't mean that I don't feel my emotions, they just, I cannot give them the same value, even though they deserve it, I'm so used to them being brushed to the side that I have started doing so as well.

THE CARNIVAL IS IN TOWN FOR ME THIS WEEK AND I HAVE LIKE INSANE ADHD SO I KEEP FORGETTING THAT IT’S THERE AND THEN I LOOK OVER AND IT’S A BUNCH OF PRETTY LIGHTS AND I JUST STARE AT IT FOR LIKE FIFTEEN MINUTES (might be 15 seconds idk time is weird)

ANYWAY IT GOT ME THINKING SAGE WOULD FUCKING LOVE A CARNIVAL OR FAIR THING AND LIKE OKAY SO YOU KNOW THE DISNEY TEACUPS??? THE CARNIVAL THAT COEMS TO MY CITY HAS THAT EXCEPTNITS SPINNIGN BEARS AND J THINK SAGE WOULD 10000% SPIN AS FAST AS HE FUCKING CAN IN ONE OF THOSE—

ANISA!!!! WITH!!!!!! FUNNEL CAKE!!!!!!!!!! IDK I THINK SHE WOULD REALLY LIKE FUNNEL CAKE WITH LIKE STRAWBERRY SYRUP AND STUFF IDK WHY

Tulsi and Sage at one of those shooting games where you’re supposed to shoot the little paper star thing and if you get the whole thing you win and she gets the biggest fucking elephant and I specify Tulsi AND Sage even though I think Tulsi would be more interested because I’m thinking of Tulsi kicking his ass and winning the Biggest Fucking Elephant and rubbing it in his face (why are there giant stuffed elephants as the prize for this? Because that’s a prize at the one in my city rn don’t ask me why it just is)

I have Absolutely Nothing for felix because I have no idea what he’d be doing at a carnival anyway unless the other two dragged him I mean it’s loud it’s bright and fuck dammit I want a funnel cake now

Also curious about how Rime and the Griefers would do at a carnival

idk last legacy brainrot is going Ping Ponging in my head like tigger from fuckin Winnie the Pooh

TW very vague mention of alcohol/weed, throwing up

Hehehe,,, I love carnivals,, or I guess it's more accurate to say that I love the vibe/aesthetics of carnivals. It's nostalgic and wholesome and full of heart, y'know?

I think Sage and Elowen (and possibly also Lucan) would get super distracted staring at lights. It's the cat in them. And if Sage and Lucan are buzzed/drunk? Absolutely will go on the Ferris Wheel just to look out at all the lights and chill. My stoner's agenda insists I mention that they would prooooobably do an edible or something beforehand. Balsam might do one too but he also might try to be the sober babysitter. Although if Elowen is gonna be staying around them for the majority of the time then she probably gets to be the DD.

Sage would go as fast as possible! If you get dizzy easily then he'll try to keep it slow but honestly he gets overexcited and still ends up going very fast. If you aren't up to it, send him with Lucan and Balsam. They'll go as fast as possible because they wanna see 'who's the toughest' and can go the longest without barfing. Balsam wins because he has an iron stomach. Lucan and Sage have to sit down and sip some water for like twenty minutes. Dorks.

Funnel cake! Cotton candy! Kettle corn! Caramel apples! Anisa is trying all the snacks and splitting them with you. Doesn't matter how long the line is. Imagine,, you're splitting a funnel cake,,, and she goes 'oh this is really sweet' and you lean over and kiss her cheek and go 'not as sweet as you! :3' and then her cheeks go warm and her hair poofs and she squeaks and ehehehehe I love her so much

Yes Tulsi and Sage doing the water game but. Also. Tulsi and Elowen doing the water game. Elowen having sharpshooter skills. If the guns are the kinds that let you freely move them around then they will shoot at Sage. Either way Tulsi is winning a giant elephant. She's naming it Peanut.

If there's any sort of 'Tunnel of Love'-esque ride, Felix is checking them out. And if there's any sort of live shows or performances, he's there. Magic shows??? Please. Felix who practices street magic and can't help but point out the mistakes the magician is making so the magician is like 'okay you do it then' thinking Fe is just a heckler but then Fe actually does some really impressive tricks and it's like !! He's having fun in his own ways. And if there's any sort of haunted house, he's dragging everyone through it.

Rime,, doing,,, photo ops? I feel like he would be very particular about his selfies. He'll go on rides if you ask him too, but a carnival just isn't his type of scene. He will make some sort of joke about Sage being a clown though. Also remember in (I think?) Chapter 12 when Rime was like 'I'll show you something super scary like clowns?' Rime is scared of clowns. So if there's any clowns around, he'll be very antsy and liable to just fast-walking out of the area to try not to be obvious about it.

Horror story about some kids / visiting family members finding a secret door buried behind stacks of boxes only to discover there's an entire other half of the house / a large basement full of dusty old random things and stuff keeps happening so they're convinced that it's haunted and ~somehow~ they're the only ones who can perceive the room because the Aunt that owns the house acts like the only parts of the house that exist is the "normal" part of it

and the kids bring an old book out of the Secret Basement and the Aunt sees them reading it and is like "oh, where on earth did you find that? I thought I lost that years ago! I sat it down one day and poof, it was gone forever!"

So now the kids are convinced that either a ghost is haunting The Secret Basement or even more horrifying, that there's some random stranger living in the house who comes out at night to steal crap so they're terrified of the vents and jumping at shadows and staying up late at night staring at The Secret Door and the tension keeps building as the kids keep coming up with more and more horrifying supernatural or psychological theories about The Secret Room and the Invisible Thief

And then the Aunt just so happens to wander into the guest bedroom where the kids found The Secret Door buried behind boxes right as they're suiting up in homemade armor made out of pots and pans and just goes "oh my god!" In horror as she stared directly at the door.

Immediately followed by, "I forgot this door was here! No wonder I couldn't find anything, I must have sat then down in the second sitting room and then forgot about it when Gerald piled those boxes up in front of the door! Curse you, ADHD and my lack of object permanence!"

And so it turns out the Aunt literally just has ADHD and when their housemate stuck some moving boxes in front of the door they just never got around to moving the boxes, so the door was out of sight and .... The rest is history.
