*A quick question from an awed procrastinator*
How do you make so many AUs and stories?
(even if something is my hyperfixation and I love doing it, I still go at a snails pace, and I was wondering if you have any "weird tricks" or things that help you finish faster?)
Also also, your AUs are some of my favorites, the angst, the comfort, and the art is just *chef's kiss*
Oh gosh, I mean, part of the answer is procrastination? I'm very lucky that both the job I'm currently at (so far, at least, fingers crossed) and the job I had previously allows me to kind of do my own thing during downtime, so long as I stay on top of all my work responsibilities. Getting to write/draw is like the little reward I get when my work is done u w u And so sometimes a part of my day also involves... avoiding doing work things for a little while by writing or drawing instead. Not Doing Boring Work Tasks is a great motivator for creative projects, lol.
I also just have tend to draw pretty fast, lmao, and I am also hugely motivated by attention u w u I am again very lucky in the sense that a lot of you lovely folks on tumblr decided you liked the stuff I made pretty early on in my TMNT stint, and I am blessed with tags and comments and replies engaging in my work, which is HUGELY motivating. I wanna work on my projects because I wanna get to post them and see what people think!!! I wanna hear what people have to say about the next step in the story!!!
I guess the best advice I have is to not be afraid of shortcuts, especially at the beginning. Let some stuff happen off-screen. Exposition dump every now and again. Copy and paste is your friend. Etc etc etc. Let go of the idea of 'this needs to be perfect' and embrace 'it just needs to be done.' Not every scene or paragraph or panel or even comic I make is going to be a showstopper. But phoning some stuff in makes it easier for me to REALLY lay into that one big dramatic part of the story where I really want it to count. And if I spend forever fussing over the set-up at the beginning, I'm never gonna get to the dramatic scene, anyway! So just do it. Worry about quality control later. Just make it first. Sometimes you don't feel like writing or drawing or doing whatever. Do it anyway.
(Having fandom friends who can hype you up and you can send things to as you're making it is very helpful, too!)
#adderall also helps.#adhd in general also plays a role lmao#part of it is i just get overexcited and i stay up all night making things coz!!! IM EXCITED!!!#STORIES!!! WHEEEE#also THANK YOU VERY MUCH ; w ;#im glad you like them!!!!#asks

i think a constructive hobby and/or medication would fix a lot of characters in mdzs
#mdzs#i think about how xue yang was living a weird domestic fantasy for three years#i think a constructive hobby that didn't involve killing people would do wonders for him#i don't think adderall would fix wei wuxian but it would probably help#same for jiang cheng except with some anxiety meds. it wouldn't fix him but it would help#i think jin guangyao also needs a hobby that isn't directly tied to his perilous status in society#i think he needs to be a dungeon master in dnd#he'd be great at it#though i guess it would depend on who his party is

Okay here's a genuine one that I think gets lost in a lot of ADHD talk:
ADHD induced sleepy bitch disease.
pls I'm so 🥱😪
#i was without adderall yesterday and it came back FULL FORCE lol#like adderall helps me regulate my attention yes but also my energy levels sometimes#annoying being hyperactive AND exhausted u ever have that happen???#anyways yeah often without adderall it doesnt matter if i got TEN hours of sleep i just cannot wake up

I wonder how many times I’ll go to therapy before I make my therapist realize that the issue isn’t entirely my mental problems but also the fact that the world is literally dying
#like idk. Adderall would be nice but it’s not gonna change the rising temperatures#Mental health#Therapy#Anti psychiatry#world events#Hellshire heresy#venting#Fuck this country#I love therapy. i do. it has helped me so much.#but yknow what would also help? the complete collapse of capitalism

Hum...
#im just thinking... im okay tho /gen#just thinking about the words the bestie said to me after I told him about my mental health...#particularly a phrase... he just said 'you are already committed' and when i asked what he meant he said 'to life'#its just... idk... it was impressive and had such a weird feeling... sadly i guess i am committed........ 'sadly' huh....#sigh another important thing was that it was crucial i went back to therapy... i dont really want to tho...#but 'youve been feeling like this for a long time you need help' ... sigh... what i need is...#the future is so scary... sigh... okay#ill put an alarm to wake up earlier tomorrow and work on that!#seari talks#what i need is adderall- jsjsjsjsjs yeah... alr im sleepy time to mimir#tomorrow ill catch up with everything i missed too#also if anyone reads this dont worry pretty person! i got a bit scared/upset up there but its okay#im quite stable right now! at least enough to survive for a couple days! so yup!#miiiight have to look up a new therapist tho... since aside from help i wanna get a diagnosis....#sigh... but okay that's not for rn seari it's for future seari. rn seari has to go mimir because shes tired#a mimir a mimir pat pat pat

personally, i think if some sort of apocalypse happened, we wouldn't immediately collapse and get set back hundreds of years wrt technology, infrastructure, etc. it's not like every engineer, doctor, construction workers, etc. are going to also be wiped out. and even under the constant pressure and threat of capitalism, people go into these careers wanting to do good. (depending on how the apocalypse is started/how it happens) there would probably be a few rough years at first but people are really good at getting their shit together
#also idk. this might be putting too much faith in people. maybe we'll just create fallout irl#if this all sounds like nonsense i got 3 hours of sleep and im running solely on adderall and coffee (:#new argument for keeping physical media: knowledge being preserved if the internet and most computers get destroyed#and yeah there would be several attempts to rebuild capitalism but look at how at the beginning of the pandemic people got a slight taste o#freedom and realized what they were being deprived of. like i watched a lot of people i know get 'radicalized' in real time#unfortunately only one i know took an interest in communism while the others are just radlibs :/#and also knowing physical skills like sewing. gardening. basic chemistry. food preservation. and hunting would help#ive thought a lot about this because the adults in my family constantly talk about what theyd do in the apocalypse#the real answer is dying of cholera or dysentery if they insist on the individualistic isolationist route#also this is not me thinking that once the weight of capitalism lifts everyone will automatically be cool with each other and build a utopi#my main point is that i dont think we'll lose Everything#these tags are so long im so sorry

It's kind of deeply irritating how much worse my adhd is when I've not gotten enough sleep
#i got abt 5 hours last night give or take and im utterly useless today#it sucks so bad bc like. not even adderall and food can help#ive been trying to watch atsv for like two and a half-3 hours and im 90 minutes in#which! also! this is the third thing ive tried watching!#made it through 15 seconds of an ep of the untamed and one (1) episode of bee and puppycat#which took me almost twice as long to watch as it should#i hate it! i hate it!#and 4.5-5 hours of sleep isnt nothing either like what the fuck!! what the fuck!!#nate.exe#im so mad i just want something. anything. to hold my attention. blease

#yknow i tried therapy once#didnt really work on the first session since the psychiatrist asked me to bring my fucking mom next time#wanna try again but i started to think that plenty of my problems are external#and it can only be permanently solved with a change in my life that seems impossible#like transitioning and living with someone else and going into a career i actually love and living without the threat of#climate change and wars and everything else. and also i have religious trauma while most psych doctors here are religious#like im sure they can help me work through the effects of parental neglect and maybe even give me adderall but#i dont think the hassle of trying to find a queer and non-religious therapist is worth it for the moment#especially with since i cant just find therapists willy nilly because the psychiatrists in this town i can access with my national insurance#is like... only a handful of people#textposts

i think i might do camp nanowrimo. to get ~*~ back into the groove ~*~ of writing every day
#i've been slowly getting over my writer's block this last month or so#and i think getting back on adderall has helped push me over that last hump#i'm not feeling as motivated to write as i did like. two years ago. when i was writing 80-100k a month#i don't think i'll ever have that output again bc now i have more hobbies and actually have a social life lmao#i think i'm gonna aim for like. 30k for camp nanowrimo. 1000 words a day on average#i have two ideas i want to write. both are urban fantasy. i'm stepping outside of my sci-fi bubble for a bit#also i'm not gonna be doing the official camp nanowrimo bc of all the shit that's going down lmao. i'm participating in stuff on discord#m.txt
