sometimes i think about the fact that jeff bezos went to space, saw the entirety of humanity in one small sphere, a complete, cascading view of all of our achievements and failures, all life and death, scars and healing encapsulated in one set of eyes, spinning gently in the endless blackness, and came back to earth having learned nothing at all

Like oil and old perfume
#I think gortash can smell nice if he’s actually trying to- but I do think more often than not his little adhd brain forgoes showers because#he has to do thing before he forgets thing#Anywhozels I do think the gnolls eventually come around to him (I don’t think he ever ends up liking them lol) mostly because he’s Durge’s.#and so are they- so by association he is a part of their pack- however loose his place in it is.#doodle#sketch#oc#bg3#baldurs gate 3#vat’il#durge#the dark urge#durgetash#enver gortash#gnolls

There’s a larp (live action roleplaying) game that I play, where there exists a creature we have dubbed a ‘Chronovore’.
This planet-sized sci-fi beastie eats time via a cool-ass external digestive system that ranges out from its main corpus (what are effectively its digestive enzymes look like glowing blue-winged angels, which are creepy as sin).
My character in this game fell victim to said chronovoric digestion and was aged 30 years by the experience. They lost what they expected to be the most valuable years of their life - the time when they expected to most make a difference to the universe.
I have a lot of emotions about this. Especially because when I look at my life aged 39 and consider the shape I am trying to hammer it into, one thought keeps recurring: I wish I had started this work sooner.
And then I consider my ADHD (a condition I am really certain I have, but am still seeking diagnosis for) and damn if I do not feel like it straight up ate decades of my life.
That’s how it feels, gang. There’s this bubbling resentful rage and grief for years spent with an invisible wall between me and what I wanted. For the nights where I spent (and still spend) revenge procrastinating and wrecking my days. For all the hours chasing short-term dopamine that was often destructive for me.
Hours. Days. Years. Eaten by a part of me that often feels like a monster squatting in my brain, hiding in my bones.
It reminds me, too, of that scene from a Hammer Horror movie where a monster expert is talking about vampires and says something like “Oh, you still think vamps are just things with big teeth that gotta bite your neck and drink your blood? Sweet baby, there’s all kinds of these creatures; some of them just fully suck your life straight out of your soul.”
This is why I don’t think I’ll ever think of my ADHD as a superpower. Or, at least, if it is: it’s from one of those gritty think piece superhero stories where your power is also a hecking curse.
I am preoccupied by what my own brain has taken from me.
And the thing is: it’s not really true. At least, not all the way true.
Those years I think of as lost were filled with good times. I made meaningful connections. I wrote poems and stories that I love. I performed art that meant something to me in front of people who enjoyed it. I consumed a lot of good media. I learned and dreamed and tried really hard to be a person I could be happy being.
But I also let a lot of the things fall into the background. I started a lot, but didn’t finish a lot. I missed the chance to work on skills that are now harder to learn because I’m older.
So I find myself cursing the Chronovore.
I nearly wrote this as a piece of fiction. If I had, I would probably have ended with the protagonist finding a way to subvert or redeem or work with the Chronovore.
Maybe the satisfying ending just this: none of us get as much time as we want. We all give time away - whether it be taxed by things we resent or gifted to what is important.
The Chronovore is not special.
And if it is not special, then it is mutable.
Maybe that is enough.

does anyone else feel like they become neurotypical while they're in the shower
#I know it's something to do with like the white noise/sensory input helping ur brain function properly or somethin#but I swear my ADHD just fully goes away for as long as I'm in the shower#and then as soon as I step out it shloops back into my brain#it's very weird#a lot of the time I step into the shower and I feel like my executive dysfunction fully goes away like I could do anything I want#and I'll start makin a to do list in my head like 'okay as soon as I'm done showering I gotta do this and this and this'#and then I step out and I'm like lol :P forgor#lyla's talking again#ADHD#autism

When your ADHD is making you hear and process everything at once and it’s overstimulating but you also have no object permanence and bad memory and so you’re overstimulated and don’t even know why
Not something I’m experiencing currently but I’m thinking about it
Ruminating
Wondering if anyone else has this specific issue

So, my mom was telling me how much free time I have, and I was like, "I have no freetime wth do you mean?????" And I just wanna see if this is like. A normal way to think of things?
Things I need to do:
Finish reading icebound land
Make a whole lotta art that I promised people
Research study abroad programs
At least one Dutch lesson a day
Keep my room clean
Talk to my friends so they know I love them (and so I don't go insane)
My math homework
Keep myself clean (showers, finally brushing my teeth after months, etc etc) so I don't go insane
Eat at 7pm
Various things I enjoy as to not go insane
All from 6pm to 9 pm, every day, after being at school from 8 am to 3:30 pm and then The Public (teen center) from 3:30 to 5:30, and I need to be in bed by 9:30 and asleep by 10:00
So, basically, I'm "on the clock" from 7 am (When I start getting ready for school) until 9 pm, with no breaks
But yeah no I totally have free time. Yeaup
#“but you never actually do that stuff! you just sit and scroll!”#yeah cause if I'm not doing what I need to I'm not Allowed to do anything else#but I'm just. too tired. to do what I need yo#I hate high school#rambles#adhd#executive dysfunction#<- I've heard that this kinda mental math can be a symptom of those things? idk#im so tired#burnout#adhd burnout#(????? I think????)#high school#I'm just so tired of all of this#the sun is going down way too early and I barely speak at all at school and I never finish work early anymore and the teen center is loud#and I still want to be active in the fandom but I don't have time to make posts anymore#and I don't have any in person friends anymore and I don't know when the last time I got a hug was#and I'm just. so. tired. my room is clean and I have good grades and I talk to my friends everyday and I shower routinely#why the hell am I so stressed#I do everything I'm supposed to do#I just want to go somewhere else man#The Netherlands hopefully#I wanna actually DO something#go on a trip for band#not just finish the work put in front of me day after day after day after day#I wasn't built for this shit#I'm so fucking tired

I read a thread on twitter that said that capitalism made the neurotypical gaps to be so narrowed that often capitalism relies on pushing you beyond your capabilities as humans, and that means capitalism punishes you for being human, and punishes you more if you have disability because it’s not profitable

It’s my first time taking ADHD medication and I just realized The Wizard of Oz still exists in the universe of The Wizard of Oz.
If the books revolved around Baum receiving letters from Dorothy and documenting them, then the books exist in the Oz universe as history books.
This also means most adaptations exist as either documentaries or historical fiction.
If Ozians have tv and computers, the main 4 in book 1 (everyone’s immortal and doesn’t age in the book btw) probably watched the 1939 movie and picked out all the inaccuracies.
They can see everything you’re doing with your adaptations.
They probably even know about the fanfics.
An Oz character could be reading this right now.
I can’t even IMAGINE how bizarre Wicked must have felt to them (even though I love it).

I actually love tumblr because I can post things with hashtags and not be afraid™️. You can’t do that on Twitter. I like this place. I like it a lot.
to anyone who sees this hello! I’m glad the hashtag brought you to me and I hope you stay! I’m a writer and a poet and I do neither of those things often.

The wild Executive Function can be seen emerging from its den sometime between 1:30 and 2:45pm. It may stay out for several hours beyond that time, but it is almost impossible to spot unless you catch it during that emergence.
Sometimes after 10pm you may think you've been approached by a wild Executive Function. Use caution! This is most likely the feral Hyperfocus variant. It may appear to behave in similar ways, but only applied to tasks of the lowest importance. Further, it displays parasitic behaviors, depriving the host of sleep and blood sugar.
#source: I took a shower and napped and finally wandered out to eat a food around 2:30#and was like “welp day's over” even though I will not go to bed for several more hours#adhd#audhd#executive dysfunction#adhd problems#actually adhd#neurospicy

I just realized something about my childhood.
My dad, coming home from work: Why is your backpack still on the stairs and not in your room, where it belongs?
Me: uuuh, forgot about it.
My dad, predominantly autistic: You just have to establish a routine, then this doesn't happen! Look, when I come home, I put my shoes here and take my backpack there and I always do it in this order and then nothing can go wrong!
Me, 12 years old, predominantly ADHD and unmedicated: *blinks in confused silence because I don't even have the words to explain how much I can't just do that*
#yeah uh about that. dad we're both neurodivergent but in slightly different ways.#this is why my backpack now simply lives in the hallway#actually adhd#adhd#kaj rambles#autism#my dad isn't diagnosed mind you because my parents a) were raised in the gdr and b) didn't 'believe' in adhd/autism for the longest time#but this is the man whose father used excel sheets to keep track of his skat game stats#and who gets *very* into obscure topics every other year#anyway had a revelation in the shower#to delete later#maybe
