The death of you and me :

Oasis split in 2009. This was recorded between 2010 and 2011 and released in August 2011. When asked at a press conference whether the meaning of the song was related to the relationship between himself and former bandmate and brother Liam, Gallagher replied that it was based on the saying "If we don't leave this place, it'll be the death of you and me", and that it was "a bit more romantic than that [his relationship with his brother]" and is "a romantic song about ... people escaping the surroundings they're in ... and having a jolly good time and living happily ever after".

Old worldbuilding map

I felt the need to unwind a little and remembered that I have this little (10x18k pixels) labour of slow and unmethodical love. The setting behind it has been brewing in me for almost nine years now, and will take some more time before it, if ever, becomes anything publishable.

Such timeframe has made it unwieldy at times. Back in 2014 I carelessly lifted themes from every game I was into (mainly Warcraft and HoMM3), and this approach remained as my interests changed. Instead of poorly drafted epic tales I moved to poorly drafted conlangs and histories.

Eventually themes of empire and expansion emerged at its core. Is conquest ever justified? Do the cultural scars it leaves ever heal? For the last semester I kept pestering my professor who taught Displacement in Roman Literature class, asking about creative applications of literature on space and displacement. This passion project was among my main reasons.

It is still a work in progress: for every empty spot on the map there is a dozen conceptual gaps. Most of all, I am struggling to assign a form and an audience for it. I'd ran one and a half pseudo-D&D adventures in it, have several different drafts for games - a Zeldalike and a (T)RPG - but these have to be localized stories. But the main thing I like in this idea is the view through its ages, a discussion about cultural development.

This too has solutions. The Zeldalike draft is narratively focused on its characters seeing how their respective cultures shaped them and learning to overcome it; and the D&D adventures had been placed in different times with metatextual intent. But who on earth would play this?

And now for something completely different.

This is the ADHD Teapot. I made it in a ceramics class a few years ago. I use it to explain executive dysfunction to people who haven’t come across the term before (and those who think of ADHD mostly as Hyperactive Eight Year Old Boy Syndrome).

So, most people’s brains are like a regular shaped teapot with a single spout. Let’s say that your time, energy, focus etc is the liquid you have in the teapot. Your executive function is the spout, that directs the tea into the specific cup you want to fill-aka the task that you’re meant to be doing. Spills happen occasionally, but generally most of the tea goes in the right cup.

If you have executive dysfunction, (a symptom of ADHD, trauma, autism, schizophrenia etc.) you have multiple spouts going in different directions. You can try pointing one of them at your chosen cup and you will probably get some liquid in there, perhaps you will even fill it right up (finish the task). But meanwhile, tea is also pouring out of several other places and not going where you want it. If you have another container nearby, perhaps some of it will end up in there. But quite a lot of it is going to end up on the floor and accomplish nothing.

And at the end of the day you’ll have filled one or two cups ( or sometimes not even one) compared to the five or six that somebody with the same sized teapot (but only one spout) has filled, and everyone wonders why you’re so bad at getting tea poured, and why you make such a mess in the process.

One day I’d like to spend more time learning pottery and create a really technically good fucked up little adhd teapot. But that’s a long way off since i currently live in the outback and the nearest pottery workshop is some 400km away. But I figure that for now, it might be a useful or interesting metaphor to somebody even in its rough draft form.

This post is the cup I filled instead of cleaning my house btw.
