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

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

[bigmammallama5]

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.

To all my friends, mutuals, followers:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Not-so-merry-or-happy stuff under the cut relating to where I've been

So, why haven't I been on Tumblr?

Long story short, I've been wanting to come back here for SO long now but kept getting overwhelmed with the "homework" that I subconsciously give myself (answering all the tags, messages, asks, plus reblogging all the awesome art/fics/animatics/etc from all of you) that I just avoided the platform altogether.

This past year has been a pretty bad burnout year (among other things), and it's only thanks to God for forcing me to travel for work that I've done anything remotely useful. The desire to write and interact with you (and just fandoms in general) has definitely been there, but I've been so tired and anxious and executively disfunctioning that even fun things have been difficult.

Even writing this is a cop-out because my original intention was to DM a bunch of people to catch up and explain my absence and whatnot but that seemed Too Much for me so here we are.

It hasn't been all bad though! My job is wonderful and I love being able to help others and bring them joy while sharing my skills and talents. I've been able to travel my country and other countries and experience new things, make new friends, and grow more into the woman I was created to be. I play a bunch of instruments now, and am learning a new language. I have a good life. It's been a good year. I know that's true. It's just difficult to feel that way right now. Prayers would be appreciated.

Anyways, I guess this turned out to be more of a journal entry than anything, but I'll still leave this up so you'll understand what's been going on.

[opudont-donut]

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!!

[crankycripple]

hello! so I have been experiencing executive disfunction very badly recently and between working, school stuff and a lot of other things going on in my life atm, I’m getting too overwhelmed with tagging every time I want to post some of my art so, with much regret, I hereby abolish the art tag list

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

#i know we are all neurodivergent and executive disfunction and routine disruption is kicking our ass and it's hard. but you have to. #and i dont even mean like. travel to another country i mean #take the other bus home #or buy a different tea brand #YOUR BRAIN IS A MUSCLE EXERCISE IT. /end id]

(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don't, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that's not true. it's the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms

> City tagged my beast as an abandoned vehicle at the start of last week. Says they'll tow it on the 7th if not moved.

> Not mad about it because I had been putting off fixing it all summer so it's fair for them to think I said to hell with it.

> Combo of burnout from work and the heat caused me to put off repairing it to too long. Goddamn executive disfunction struck again.

> Yesterday got it moved to the back car port via flatbed since it wouldn't move on its own. I tried, engine could only roll.

> Today I get to take the sticker off but at least it's no longer on the street and onto my property. It's pre-owed, long been paid off and there's no leans on it so nobody can just come and legally snatch it.

> Before going to bed I'll move dad's truck to the back just to show the city "hey they're all moved, you can get off my ass now."

> Come to find out battery needs to be replaced and I'll check the wires leading to some crucial af sensors and the positive battery cable leading from it to the starter because SOMEBODY was stupid enough to design it to trail alongside one of the hottest parts of the engine with subpar protection.
