#executive disfunction in the tags

[tellthemhowihopetheyshouted]

suprize song guesses for london night 2*:

mary's song x fifteen x the best day

87 & 89; boy on the football team; works as a bridge between the other two

they all have themes of growing up, specifically going from the first verse of mary -> best day -> fifteen -> last verse of mary would kick ass imo

it would also be chronological in like, life events

country taylor

story of us x us.

both talking to the muse about how they feel after the end of a relationship

ngl i just want her to say "🎸🥀🪦the story of🪦🥀🎸 ... u-uUh-uh-us"

the albatross x peace

i can't explain how this makes sense but like

"she's the death you chose / you're in terrible danger" with "the rain is always gonna come / if you're standing with me"

how in the ancient mariner (poem where the albatross motif comes from) the rain happening both with the wedding guest and the mariner after he kills the albatross

honestly i think peace works with a lot of things on ttpd/the anthology

FOR EXAMPLE

peace x ttpd x the prophecy

goes from warning the person you're still with -> warning the person you recently separated from -> realizing you need the warning more than they do

"give you my wild / give you a child" -> "you took my ring off my middle finger and put it on the one / people put wedding rings on" -> "don't want money / just someone who / wants my company"

like, ill give you everything i have (but some things are out of my control) to you said could handle that to no one wants to be with me, i don't want to be with me, get me out of the life i built for myself

or it could be like, ill give you everything i have (but some things are out of my control) to you said you'd give me everything too, you said you were forever about this (add in the chorus of ttpd) but instead you left, and no one else knows you like i do, what are YOU going to do now to i should have taken my own advice, they were right to leave, who would want me if the trade off is this life?

tl;dr: i love my monochromatic greyscale albums

loml also fits the theme but idk if she would do 4 songs in a mashup and also the story feels pretty strong imo with just those three

london boy

she's in london

i have no further evidence

closure x imgonnagetyouback

so according to google these are in the same key and now i want to teach myself guitar so i can mash them up myself because dear god

anyway 1. she hasn't played either of them and they're both like top 3 of their albums

they also happen to be the 2 sides of my last breakup and i just now realized that...

anyway, in closure the other person is being clingy and wants the breakup to be amicable so they can feel like a good person

and in imgonnagetyouback the speaker is being ,,clingy,, or like, thinking too much about a relationship that's over

(also the person in closure always seemed to me to be in a better place emotionally + was the one to break up where as the letter sender felt like they had an ulterior motive for contacting their ex)

SO, imgonnagetyouback is written by the person who got dumped and closure is the person who broke things off and they're writing about the same relationship

peace x clean

i don't really have a story for this but

"the rain came pouring / down when i was drowning / that's when i could finally breathe" and "the rain is always gonna come / if you're standing with me"

maybe like, clean is the aftermath, written by person A, and peace is written by person B warning person A. the rain being like, person B's sadness/baggage, but also serving as the method of escape for person A

like, the thing that is person B's biggest flaw was the way person A knew to run

a real if they show you who they are believe them type story, but mostly i just like both of the rain lines in the songs

I should be doing homework, but I've fallen so deep into another gay ship that I'm sinking in the icy cold depths of ao3 and tumblr archives to satiate my need for content

[krystaldeath-art]

Attempted to doodle a Leshy and Lamb last month. Key word is /attempted/

[birds-are-pretty-cool]

Wanna hyperfixate at 2am on my satanic panic research but all i get are ✨Responsibilities✨ (that i actively ignored all day)

[dinosnaurnuggets]

Hmm

[bimbofromspace]

Adhd is so funny the way I can do my taxes without any trouble despite it being a stressful task yet when I need to do something simple like get a haircut or vacuum the house I completely freak out/and or procrastinate

[leyskrad]

At first I was like "aw yeah I have focus again and can spend my entire day reading books like I used to do when I was younger"

And then CBT is a thing I know now and I'm now like "I'm actually shitting my pants about this thing I have to do in my career and my brain is refusing in engaging in the right activity and now is directing all my focus in unrelated activities".

[schizopositivity]

how to advocate for schizophrenics and psychotics in every day life:

correct people when they misuse the word "psychotic" (as in if they use it in any other way but a serious disconnect from reality, delusions or hallucinations)

correct people when they use the word "schizophrenic" as an adjective (its not!!! its a severe and persistant mental disorder)

correct people when they call people "crazy" aka "shes been acting crazy lately" (they likely dont actually mean it and this word is thrown around a lot, but as a schizophrenic im asking you to not use this word to describe people since this has been tied to me and my fellow psychotics for ages)

do not assume that a psychotic person is dangerous in any way (psychotic people are more likely to be the victims of abuse than be the abusers)

when talking about mental illness or the mental illness community as a whole consider, does this apply to psychotic and schizophrenic people as well? (if not, youre not talking about the whole community! its that simple)

do not purposley trigger someones paranoia aka telling people that theres someone after them (this is always harmful and potentially life threatening, its not a joke and never was)

dont assume schizophrenia is "just hallucinations and delusions" (its much more than that, it has negative and cognitive symptoms as well, which for some people is much worse than the positive symptoms of hallucinations and delusions)

dont make lobotomy jokes aka "lobotomize me" jokes (these procedures were used to turn schizophrenics into "pets" so that other people could better deal with us, its not a joke)

dont act "crazy" for shock value aka wide eyes, rocking back and fourth, shaking (our mannerisms arent for you to pretend to be crazy with, this is who we actually are, im looking at you rock bands)

dont fear the people on the street talking to themselves aka calling the cops on them (these people are suffering, these people need help, them being psychotic doesnt make them any more dangerous than anybody else)

dont use the word delusional for every idea you dont agree with aka "that conservative politician is delusional!" (delusions specifically describe strongly held beliefs outside of reality, not just beliefs outside youre specific world view)

dont expect people to express emotions the same way you do aka "why arent you reacting?" (many schizophrenics stuggle with flat affect and cant change it, it doesnt mean we dont feel things, just that we dont express them the same way)

dont expect us to be able to do the same amount of, or intensity of work you do aka "i work 5 days a week, you have it easy!" (executive disfunction is very common in schizophrenia, it doesnt make us lazy, we are just disabled)

dont post derealization without tagging it or TWing it as such aka that post with a fake european country saying that americans dont even know what country this is (we already struggle enough with figuring out whats real and whats not we dont need "pranks" or "jokes" trying to fool us without any TW)

dont assume schizophrenic and psychotic people cant see your post or view your media or anything else (we are real people interacting with the world just like everybody else, we can see your jokes about us, or your media portraying us as dangerous, we arent fictional characters)

dont assume youre superior to, or smarter than us (once again we are real people, we deserve the same respect as anyone else on the planet)

dont call someones delusion stupid aka "obviously youre not the reincarnation of kurt cobain thats stupid" (you have no idea how real these are for us, they dont always make sense to you but they do to us, please respect that)

dont ask if were hallucinating right now (its none of youre business! and if we say yes youll likely ask where it is, and if we show you youll likely look in the direction of the hallucination which is dangerous, it blends the real world with the hallucination and its already hard enough for us to tell the difference)

dont stop trusting us and what we say just because were psychotic (we still deserve to be listened to and trusted just like everybody else)

learn about less talked about symotoms like catatonia, avolition and word salad (these are just as common as the talked about ones, but just less talked about cause i guess it doesnt make for an intresting horror movie)

learn more about schizophrenia and psychosis from actual schizophrenics and psychotics (a great example is the podcast Inside Schizophrenia, scrolling through this blog, looking up students with psychosis)

TLDR: no go back and read it, its the least you could do

For me, one of the worst aspects of ADHD is memory issues. I find it interfers so much more than executive disfunction, as I can at least force my brain to work under the right circumstances.

I can't do that with my memory

My memory is definitely the worst symptom of my ADHD (other than probably RSD and some other things but I gotta find a therapist for that lol), and I envy other people with ADHD who don't struggle with that aspect as much as I do. And for those who may not have ADHD, let me try to explain what I deal with because I do wish it was a funny thing but most often it's not lol.

It's not just that I forget where I put my phone down, it's I forget why I enter I a room and literally have to walk back my steps to find it despite there only being three places in my small apartment it would be. It's telling myself three times to take something with me to the clay studio to show another student and I forget 3 weeks in a row despite having it right next to the front door. It's my family telling me something important and I just don't retain it, and then they stop telling me things (this has improved again now that I'm on medicine, but I was the last person to find out a lot of things the past few years bc they wouldn't tell me bc I wouldn't remember, which hurts). It's my mind wiping blank in the middle of a sentence when I hit a certain word which results in varying degrees of embarrassment and understanding depending on who I'm talking to. It's my eye skipping over a spelling error no matter how many times I know it's there and I need to change it, I just forget (there are a lot of stupid errors in all my fics because of this, maybe one day i'll get to fixing them). It's learning someone's name correctly taking weeks to stick, and then somehow flipping the spelling because I know other people with that name spelled differently and I remember that spelling as "correct" (I'm glad we have name tags on our clay cubbies in the studio, it's saved me some embarrassing encounters, which was something I had to train myself into doing). It's being able to recall what someone said to me word for word six years ago but I can't remember what my mother told me three days ago. It's remembering a multitude of old vines verbatim, but I couldn't tell you what important news story I watched last night.

It's being able to sit down and talk to you guys clearly and thoughtfully like the intelligent person I can be, and then having my knees taken out from under me in real conversation because my mind just wipes blank. But yeah, I can at least work through my executive disfunction too with the right prodding lol.

HIII! So sorry to bother you lkgdfjglkd I've seen your Nightmare AU referenced here and there and I feel silly but I was wondering if there was, like, a link to it?? Like is it a fic or a comic or just art pieces and concepts??? Do I just scroll through the tag on your blog for it and I'll get to see everything you currently have for it or is there something I'm missing??? Sorry if this is dumb lkjgkldf I hope you're having a good day!!!!

OHHHH actually there's no fanfictions nor comics. i want to make a comic, i even have concept arts for it, but I'm really anxious about my possibilities (i have executive disfunction n Im not sure about my skills) so all content about my au is under the tag!!

[theriseandfallofshittyurls]

Hello friend! (We are mutuals but I am shy.) I saw your tags on the recursive executive disfunction post re: taxes and wanted to let you know that when I did mine this morning (after days of procrastination > >) and they only took 23 minutes. (I have this data point because my little brother has been nervous about growing up and needing to do taxes someday, so I timed it for him.)

Congrats on getting it done! Twenty-three minutes is pretty swell! I hope that's a weight off your shoulders.

The past few years, it's taken me about an hour to two to do mine. I just don't want to... Until I literally have no choice... Now comes the question of do I write before I do taxes today or do taxes first. Just have that feeling doing taxes will be my One Task if I do it first and I'll be too tired/moody to try and write afterward. 🤔 LOL just rambling and thinking out loud.

I hope you have a good day, friend! Especially now freed of the burden known as Filing Taxes.

@chaoticgoodthief tagged me, is very good friend, many thanks

1. What motivates you to write?

This question isn't exactly applicable to me seeing as I have severe executive disfunction, so whether or not I have the motivation to write doesn't always mean I will write. The main things that get me writing the feeling that I've let my readers down by not posting in a while and the idea that, for some reason, I must post my post-episode fic the same day the episode came out.

2. A line/short snippet of your writing that you are most proud of; if not, share a line from someone else's work that you love (just make sure to give credit)

Test Tube smiled and leaned against Fan, who wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into an embrace. "Thank you."

Fan gave Test Tube a confused look. "For what?"

"For being my reason to stay."

3. Which OC makes you smile when you think/talk about them and what are they like?

I used to have a lot of OCs, and I had a couple of comics about them (still up on my Deviantart), but as my mental and physical state deteriorated, I just kinda stopped. It just didn't seem worth it to continue with them, so I don't really think about them anymore.

4. Which process of writing to you enjoy the most?

Cracking myself up while writing. My entire sense of comedy is constructed around what I think is funny, so what might be a mediocre joke to you is the absolute funniest thing to me.

5. Which part of writing do you think you're best at? (Stroke your own ego, it's okay)

I'm good at making people cry! And laugh, but most importantly, cry! I think I'm really good at emotional writing. This is because I am sad.

6. What is something in the writeblr community that is most enjoyable?

I'm not really part of the writeblr community, I'm very much a fandom creator. That's probably to my detriment, though, because nobody really cares when I publish original works. Buy "Marcella" on Amazon.com! $6.00 paperbacks and $1.00 ebooks! I am very poor!

7. A writing tool/device that helps you with writing (i.e. text-to-speech, a program, etc...)

I just write in the notes app and then move it to Google Docs for spellcheck.

8. A piece of world-building that you like in your own story (it could be the magic system, a particular place, a law, etc...)

Like I said, I don't do original works anymore. I think I'm pretty good at character backgrounds in fanfic, if that counts.

9. What piece of advice would you give to encourage others to write if they are having a rough patch?

Just write the scene and move on. You can always come back to it later.

10. Tag some people whose work you love/ have been your biggest supporters

@enchantedchocolatebars @ccomputerfriendly

[sb-essebi]

I was tagged by the amazing @wordsinhaled thank you for tagging me!

favourite color: switches between electric blue and candy red depending on the day

currently reading: I read Paradise Lost for uni and I probably will have to read something else for uni next. I’m not reading anything for pleasure rn except unhealthy amounts of Sandman fanfic :’D

last song: Dare You To Doubt Me by The Script

last series: The Sandman... in case it wasn’t glaringly obvious lol

last movie: I really haven’t taken the time to watch movies lately, or go to the cinema, even though I love doing both. Last I’ve seen must have been Thor: Love and Thunder.

sweet/savoury/spicy: savoury!

currently working on: I have almost 80 WIPs... *cries in overactive imagination+executive disfunction* but seriously, I’m doing my best to work on chapter 2 of Perchance to Dream, because I promised I would get it done in a month, but I’m really struggling to nail the vibe I want for the scene. Also, I keep drifting to future stories in the series, especially the (probably) third one which is Hob comforting Dream after the Vortex and dealing with Desire. AND I haven’t added these to my WIPs yet but after seeing Tom Sturridge in a crown I keep rotating medieval Dreamling AUs in my head. One is more lighthearted (King!Dream/peasant-to-royal-guard!Hob), adapting their meetings to a medieval setting in some way that keeps the story close to canon but still compelling, and getting them to be friends, then lovers and marry at the end; another is more angsty (Prince!Dream/personal guard!Hob): Dream is in an arranged marriage with the notoriously cruel Lucifer Morningstar for political reasons... so Dream and his dearest friend and personal guard Hob decide to elope in order to stop the wedding... they get married in secret and make sure to be found in bed together in the morning and to make it look like they had sex (which they didn’t, and I plan to have so much fun writing that)... too bad Hob is hopelessly in love with Dream, and Dream surely will never return his feelings, right? Cue political drama and insane amounts of pining on both sides.

I’m gonna tag @jimkirkachu @wistfulchicken @herself-nyc (only if y’all feel like it!) and anyone else who wants to do it :)
