I don't think I ever posted about this, but I noticed a long time ago that there's a facial expression that seems to pop up in Lore Olympus a lot.

I can't tell if I just see it everywhere now just because I'm acutely aware of it... I tried to catch it every time I saw it on rereads. I'd taken to calling it "Lore Olympus Face," it's this sort of exaggerated eyeroll + open pog mouth 😅

Am I just looking too deeply at the details? Did anyone else notice this expression everywhere or am I just seeing it now because I'm looking for it?

Unpopular Opinion!!

*lists a VERY popular opinion, probably even more popular than the people who oppose said opinion*

Alright bet. Here's some random assorted advice my therapist gave me for ADHD and depression:

Time blindness is real - If you don't have a calendar or a planner or a timer or something, you will lose track of the time/date and those deadlines will bite your ass like they always do.

"Time over task" - If you say "I need to do X" it will not happen. It must be timebound. Give it a date and a time to start and finish. Schedule it on your calendar, your planner, tell your friend about it, anything to make it ""real."" Accountability is key.

Avoiding a diagnosis doesn't make it go away. Taking meds does not make you weak. You deserve help just as much as anyone else.

Starting really is the hardest part.

Perfection doesn't exist. It's never going to be perfect, and that's ok. Just start it and finish it anyways. The more you get comfortable with imperfection the easier it'll get.

Relationships are about give and take - there should be a nice balance between the two.

You can't rescue someone with a sinking ship. "Adjust your own oxygen mask before anyone else's" etc etc. Give yourself the time, attention, sleep, rest, relaxation, help, care that YOU need before taking on that task for anyone else. You can't help people if you haven't helped yourself first.

Your existence is not a burden. Your existence is not a crime you have to justify to the jury. You do not have to do X Y or Z in order to be worth being alive. You are already worth being alive.

Be a friend to yourself - If you wouldn't want your friends to put themselves through it, don't put yourself through it. If you wouldn't talk to your friends that way, don't talk to yourself that way. You are not the exception to humanity.

Also be aware of these patterns... get acquainted with them. Call yourself out when you see them in yourself.

And THIS. Use this process when you know your brain is lying to you.

That is all. And remember that Steve (my therapist) believes in you.

imagine providing an implement where you can puncture holes in a spaceship, couldnt be me

Romantic Fantasy

To be old and looking lovingly up at my old husband, and we reminisce about when we were young. It's just us there in the dance hall now, and we share the last dance.

[wondrousmay]

This is just Loid and Anya 🤣

[lady-ika]

I got a friend ( @haunted-the-vagabond ) who's never played Mouthwashing to give me a slideshow vibe check and tell me their name and their position on the Tulpar.

He knows very little about the characters. He intends on playing it sometime later.

I’m going to have a crisis over this oh my god fuck you Jimmy to the depths of hell.

SWANSEA WAS A GENUINE FAMILY MAN WHO LOVED HIS KIDS AND WIFE SO MUCH.

[carcasscounty]

Hey guess what I found out before my sister was born, so about two years ago

The smell of Meat can make pregnant women Extremely nauseous and sick, especially during the first trimester because of Hormone changes

And due to the fact that they were working with barely any more medical supplies than you'd find in a medkit, Curly's wounds likely smelt like bad meat

And Anya was the one taking care of him

Now seems like a good time to introduce a strategy to all my ADHD peers that I've invented so I wouldn't be Late to everything!

It's called...

✨️ Disaster Time ✨️

You know that feeling when you wait til the last second to do something and THEN it seems like THAT'S when everything goes wrong??? Right when you need everything to go smoothly?

You're thinking "the office is only 10 minutes away, so I'll leave 10 minutes before my appointment time!" And THAT'S when it happens; You forget to brush your hair, you can't find your keys, your wallet is missing, your GPS is glitchy, there's traffic, there's a detour, you hit every red light, there's no parking, you enter the wrong door, you can't find the room, etc. There's always SOMETHING.

I used to get SO MAD when everything would go wrong while I was on a time crunch. It seemed like when I least expected it, suddenly every object that could possibly get in my way would get in my way. I used to think, "The universe is out to get me 😔 No matter what I do, everything is gonna go wrong."

And that's when a switch went off in my mind...

Everything is gonna go wrong when I least expect it to!!!

Therefore -> I should stop being surprised and just. Expect it to!!

Every time!

Hence, the invention of ✨️Disaster Time✨️

Disaster Time (noun) the extra time you alot for disasters.

If you just KNOW something's gonna go wrong and then just PLAN for something to go wrong! Then you'll always be ready for it!

Because something is always is gonna happen, right? Something is always gonna go wrong. You don't know what's gonna go wrong, so instead of hoping nothing goes wrong and then being disappointed when something does go wrong, just alot some Disaster Time!

So you think to yourself "the office is only 10 minutes away, so if I give myself 10 extra minutes of Disaster Time for when The Disaster happens, then I'll leave 20 minutes before my appointment time."

Your assignment's due at midnight? Disaster Time! Make it due at 11:40 to account for when the [internet goes out / file gets corrupt / website doesn't load / grammar errors pop up ]

Your hangout is at 8pm? Disaster Time! Give yourself 10 extra minutes to [find your missing phone / stop and grab some gas / brush your hair / quickly eat a snack]

Work at 9? Disaster time! Leave 15 minutes earlier for when [you spill coffee on your shirt / your car light goes off / you forgot something and have to go back]

People used to tell me to do things "early" but I have adhd and time blindness! "Early" doesn't exist!!! "Early" is an abstract concept! And "early" isn't as motivating as "The Last Second"

So instead, alot a set amount of Disaster Time and adjust your "last second" to account for that pesky inevitable Disaster, and you'll always be on time!

If you EXPECT that everything will go wrong EVERY time and just *account* for that when you plan, then you'll always be on time!
