$ Emerald Hedonism Fembot

[Anonymous Commissioner] This is the kind of fan art I like doing. Make up a new fanfic character. Trying to copy the designs of a style, but not just copying a character, lots of room for originality but has limits. So I like how i did the waist and hips on this fembot. The legs at the bottom move like digitigrade legs. So this is ether a fanfic robot. Or a girl who like Futurama and got TFed into something smutty

Fellow ADHD haver here, here’s what helps me. For context, I have this issue usually with a small decision like I really really wanna get pizza but I feel like it’s more “responsible“ to just have something less fun and terrible at home. I will literally obsess and obsess over this in this weird feedback loop of analysis until it’s often the case where the decision is made for me. I haven’t eaten all day and it’s 9 o’clock at night and I’m so lightheaded I can’t make anything or the pizza place is going to close in a half an hour, and I need to make a decision now. This is what helped me deal with that in some situations: 

Hedonismbot from Futurama. I just imagine myself as a wild-ass Roman emperor, and I just ask myself “what’s the most indulgent of my options in terms of how to do this. What’s the baller option on how to get this done? Almost every fucking time that’s the one that actually ends up working. Sometimes it’s this puritanical desire to live modestly, making me want to choose the simpler more efficient option, but the thing that actually goes through the executive dysfunction is always asking myself. What’s the indulgent Baller  Hedonismbot way of doing things? Like editing my latest short story collection, but I need to make it a musical, and I need to improvise little songs about how the editing process is going complete with dance routines in between each story edited. Like crazy Roman emperor ways of doing things, but it actually ends up being exciting enough for my ADHD brain that I actually fucking get started. Plus, you can unlock new hobbies that you were not aware that you like. 

executive dysfunction is legitimately physically uncomfortable. i’ll be trapped between two things, weirdly caught on how-much-time-it-might-take-me. i take hours worried im going to take hours doing things. i’ll sit on the floor for the entire day, caught up in the middle of not-doing the chores i actually do want to be doing.

& the amount of mental energy that goes into it. & the legitimate amount of anger and discomfort and self-hate. is not “being lazy”.  it’d be a lot less work if i didn’t have to fight myself to just get up and do it. 

i just need you to understand it’s not effortless. it’s never effortless. it’s not “okay let me just get up and finally start doing this.” it’s more like. i am slamming my foot on the pedal but the car is in neutral and nothing is moving. it’s more like shouting instructions into a dying telephone. it’s more like being trapped in a small electric box, and someone who hates me is administering shocks. 

im trying. im trying. please help me get up.

HEY AUTISTICS. What's your special interest? Why do you love it so much?

How long has it been your special interest for?

Don't pretend you didn't see this. I know you. TELL ME WHAT YOU LOVE AND WHY.

The last of what I've got for now. I was watching the new episode earlier today and when Hedonismbot said he likes them "plump and juicy", I had the biggest most evil grin on my face... This is technically in character for him now

QUESTION: What does the tarot Major Arcana card (?) say about the dangers of hedonism?

“I want to be a poet, and I'm working at turning myself into a seer. You won't understand any of this, and I'm almost incapable of explaining it to you. The idea is to reach the unknown by the derangement of all the senses. It involves enormous suffering, but one must be strong to be a poet.” ~ Arthur Rimbaud (age 16.)

Ah, yes. Balance and moderation. On one hand, one person’s hedonism is another person’s spiritual quest, though since we live in such an erotic-phobic world such sentiments usually fall on deaf ears … on the other, those ears usually belong to the most dull and mundane among us, so their opinions usually count for very little.

To me, when the concept of hedonism is spoken in a mixed crowd, it is almost always used in a pergoritive, negative and belittling manner. It’s excess. It’s addiction. It’s selfishness. It’s what other people do that you don’t approve of, in much the same way that the righteous possess true faith while the rest of us only have superstitions and false beliefs. In other words, it’s almost always a term that the sanctimonious use, unless you’re Hedonismbot:

Of course, not all of us can survive excess. I certainly couldn’t. As a lifelong alcoholic I had to go into AA and Recovery just to stop, because cirrhosis and not making it to my 50th birthday were the alternatives. For someone who took Rimbaud’s maxim of, “derangement of all the senses,” to heart, it was difficult (at times almost impossible) to find my poetic voice while sober. Which is why I would never criticise another person’s spiritual journey, because for them it’s not excessive and I respect that.

However, that’s not what the question asked. So the closest that I can think of in Tarot that touches on the joys of abstinence, self-restraint and chastity would be Temperance, which isn’t just an unincorporated village in Michigan. In the Rider-Waite deck, an androgynous angel stands with one foot in water and the other on dry land, pouring liquid from one cup to the other. Perhaps you need to, “stabilise your energy and to allow the life force to flow through you without force or resistance.” In the Tarot of Syssk (where the image came from) Syssk stands in the sauna of a public bath, pouring water onto the hot stones, from which steam will rise. This, too is a balancing of elements, just without moral censor.

Of course, not all hedonism is of a chemical or sexual nature …

Je regrette mon hédonisme!
