If you have ADHD, it’s not that you have too much energy.
It’s that your body doesn’t know how to regulate your energy resources properly, which results in multiple body systems being over- and understimulated simultaneously.
It takes work to manage your energy, which takes brain power.
If you have Autism, it’s not that you don’t understand things. It’s that the nice, organized brain patterns of an Allistic brain never got laid out for you, so it’s harder to push the ideas though the tangle and easy to get sidetracked by worn pathways.
It takes work to manage the brain power, which takes energy.
And if you are AuDHD, like me?
Congratulations!
You lose!
🥳

as we enter the start of a semester and the dreaded Hour of Making Friends us upon us... if ur ever at a loss for what to say in one of those weird social situations where you only vaguely-know people, one of my favorite questions to ask is "what is your favorite food crime." a food crime is like the food combination that you love that other people find revolting. press them to take it further than pineapple on pizza, that's rote. food crimes is a good topic that has many benefits as it turns out all people are degenerates and also it will give you some cool ideas to try out later in the privacy of your own degenerate kitchen
the other good thing to ask is "okay but has anyone here ever been someplace haunted" bc it turns out if you ask most people directly they don't believe in ghosts, but many people are like "oh yeah i lived in a haunted house. ghosts aren't real tho"
#my food crime is that i regularly make a “pasta and tuna” situation that has somehow gotten even more evil and degenerate over time.#it is a ''white wine reduction'' (it's just white wine and garlic powder & seasoning)#and tuna from a can.#and plain pasta.#if i have the spoons i will actually chop garlic for it but this tends to be my comfort food for a REALLY bad day#bc its super easy to make:#boil pasta. drain. put into bowl for later. into same pot u used for pasta.#put tuna (with oil/water from can). let fry a little for like 2-3 min. put in whatever amount of wine. season to taste.#the tuna will get a little crisp on it which is nice. important side note:#this began as a Bolognese sauce.#and one day i had to sub for tuna. i know. not ideal. i cried about it too.#somehow over time it is now its own little evil thing. i would never make someone else eat it. it is beautiful.#but yeah i don't even stir the pasta in afterwards i just slap pasta into serving bowl#slap this ''''''sauce'''''''' on top#molto bene#(i really can cook fairly well btw. this is a food crime. not a suggestion of skill or ability)#(i LOVE baking but when i cook for myself. the autism is obvious. bc i just don't understand the point of most of the steps)#(.... i can just eat the deli meat out of the bag. it is protein. i don't even have to like it. i just have to eat enough calories.)#(also i used to cook MUCH more before this apartment which is so small that i can stretch my arms out and overreach the counter length.)#(.... i'm 5.2. so.)

Scarian cuddling …… when Grians the big spoon he also drapes his wings over Scar
#scarian#i think most of the time they just end up tangled in limbs. fit together like puzzle pieces#so close .. so close. but never enough !!#when grian is the little spoon .. Scar pulls him so close he’s practically buried

now this is gonna sound really stupid and i need no one to call me stupid about it -> it turns out when u make food that is more than the bare minimum to be edible. ie make it a lil fancy w a lot of flavors and textures going on (scary to me <- autist). u want to eat it more. and even tho its more work. sometimes the prospect of eating something that actually tastes great is motivating enough to get u thru the work. and so conversely it is easier to keep up a consistent eating routine. bc ur not also constantly bailing on planned mediocre dinners to eat all ur backup stock of emergency instant meals.
#YOU KNOW. i mean most of u probably genuinely know. sometimes theres a delicate balance of.#u cut back u cut back u cut back so u can get stuff done despite the [disability] [lack of spoons] and u live in Bare Minimum Land#and then at some point u think abt adding stuff in and its like oh yeah i forgot i can do that. i forgot i can expend a little extra#effort. SOMETIMES. it doesnt always work which is why i never want to be called an idiot for playing it safe and minimum lol.#ive got. no one else doing this stuff for me. so i always want to make sure i have enough budgeted energy for stuff like. eating#once a day at least. lol. lolllllllll. is that enough justifying myself. ive been eating okay lately. even w the diet change. and its nice#altho also eating more regularly means i actually go thru my bought food quicker means i have to buy more. 'SPENSIVE. in 2024

ykwhat i'm not surprised that such a large portion of tumblr users are instantly falling for whatever blatant zionist propaganda they see. for so many decades the occupation of palestine has been deemed too "complicated" an issue to be addressed in basically any popular media, and media is the extent that the majority of people on here engage with politics. Half of the they/thems ive seen share israeli government propaganda are anime blogs and fandom blogs in general
#like these people have never read a book or even a WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE about this and its so obvious#its..fine to be ignorant about real life events and history. if you dont have enough spoons to take that in or whatever#just don't fucking talk about things you don't know anything about ffs

Of my 2% capacity to be attracted to anyone, my type is like 90% women, 5% pretty men and 5% men you would swear are super fucking manly, and never questioned being straight and cis, but are now suddenly *stressed* that they can't figure out why their attraction to me [fully socially interpreted as a woman and labelled that way up until relatively recently] feels incredibly fucking gay
#you are a straight man correct? Yes. Attracted to someone you view as a woman correct? Yes... But you are afraid that makes you gay?#Afraid is a strong word but also stop asking stupid questions#The end result is I tend to date a lot of men who either then realize they are women or bi or gay and I am there when they are taking out#the messiest parts of that on whoever they are with at the time#and on one hand it means I created a space that made them feel safe enough to self examine#but on the other hand I'm their last stop when the fallout hits#OR they just realize they find the expectations put on them for masculinity to be really oppressive even negligent or abusive#I would say I need to adjust my strategy and stop trying to 'woo' men the same way I don't actually -flirt- with women#but I have already solved this problem by refusing to date ever again#The retrospective is funny though#The problem is I am attracted to men in a gay way and to women in a gay way but no one tells you the consequence of that and looking#like a pretty butch is that it really confuses the straight guys#Like why is this guy who's usually hmmm... as dom and masc as you would imagine suddenly in my lap and red and having entire feelings#about the way I am holding his hip? He doesn't knoww either and he's really pressed about it#And that thing messy lesbians do where they act jealous of you and also like they want to fuck you at the same time that looks like a red#flag from hell? Imagine dragging that out of unsuspecting straight guys -menTM-#They don't know why they are acting like that around me either but it's going to go one of two ways#either it will seem overtly threatening and aggressive to everyone involved including themselves or they'll have enough social sense#and tact to be playful about it but still not be sure if they are flirting or whether they like me at all#I have patience for one of those and unfortunately[?] it's the guy who's in my lap looks like he's being tortured and can't find his footin#not the guy telling me how much he's going to beat my ass at some game and I am going to like it or some macho bullshit#And I will be oblivious for the first 50% of it#because if there are gods they are cruel#He never realized he's actually the little spoon be nice and give him a minute#He can't tell me he likes me if he doesn't know he likes me but I opened a jar for him and asked him about his feelings and now he's warm#I actually ended up never dating many women at all because of weird lesbian mixed signals and things#At least not while they were women#I don't flirt or make friends I just decide that people are mine and start taking care of them [while respecting their autonomy and shit]#and I am starting to think this is how I make problems for myself#yes I am playing 5-d chess with gender and am now a he/they but it is not what it is cracked up to be

I’m starting Hobbit Day 2024 early, since i have work and cannot marathon them on Sunday the 22nd. So i’m going to watch one an evening over the weekend (Friday Saturday Sunday) instead!
#my ramblings#alas no hobbit day feasting#i don’t have the spoons or time or grocery money for trying to figure out hobbit meals#i am going to try to watch them without headphones though? which i never do because irrational ‘i’m bothering my neighbors’ brain#even though i don’t hear anything from most of my neighbors so the walls have to be thick enough#since i’m sure they don’t ALL watch tv or whatnot with headphones on all the time#so i’m gonna try to watch all three movies without them to get used to making noise in my own damn flat without my brain shrieking at me#we’ll see how it goes#hobbit day (weekend)

There are just so many books I want to read and shows I want to watch and stories I want to write and pictures I want to draw and crafts I want to make and treats I want to bake but I CAN’T DO IT ALL AT THE SAME TIME
#This feels like a tragedy#I’ve been trying to follow more authors on Instagram so I can learn how to market my own book and MY TBR IS NEVER GOING TO RECOVER#There are so many good books out there#and movies and TV shows#and podcasts!!#and I want to write!!#***I*** have stories to tell!#BUT THERE’S NOT ENOUGH TIME#AND I DON’T HAVE THAT MANY SPOONS#HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE WHICH ONE TO DO RIGHT NOW#chronic illness#disability#spoonie#chronic fatigue

Me, one of the numerous online depressed community, would like it to be known that I am SO. FUCKING. HAPPY!!! about getting an epilogue to orv.
HOWEVER. My depressed flat butt would ALSO like it to be known that I have no CPU or memory brain space to hold onto any more canon angst… and thus will ignore canon and epilogue except the 3 things:
kdj x yjh dynamic (maybe including hints of hsy)
kdj’s self-justifying ass being kicked in the face by the fourth wall
all orv characters always, ALWAYS orbiting kdj in some way or another.
…thank you for coming to my TED talk.
#orv#kim dokja#kdj#omniscient reader's viewpoint#yjh#yoo joonghyuk#i am not obsessed with orv#i say as i invest my hard-earned money into getting physical copies#but never having enough spoons to go for a reread#but i have my moments of missing joongdok#then i go to the fanarts and fanfics and ignore canon#yes they are perfectly happy with all the grueling canon scenarios finished#dont burst my happy bubble

i know people complain about people need "adulting classes" or whatever, but i'm barely a functioning person. i know how to do fuck all. i am literally without the knowledge of Becoming An Adult, because no one taught me HOW to be an adult. i don't know how to drive, i barely know how to clean, i can barely do basic chores, i forget where things go constantly, i don't have a job, and i've never had a job. i'm deeply anxious and depressed. i DO need adulting classes, because my parents were either too busy (mom) or too embarrassed of me because i didn't absorb those skills through osmosis and refuses to teach me because he's not a good parent (abusive dad). and the worst part is that some of it is self-inflicted, because i don't go outside and do things, and i have no where to go, and all of my friends are busy, so i don't want to bother them, so i do nothing.
#void keith talks#ventpost#vent post#i am one step away from being some loser who lives in his parents' basement and it feels terrible to not be self-sufficient#but when i try it's never enough because i never did ALL of it. like. what am i supposed to do? i literally don't have enough spoons to get#through my day and i spend most of my day doing things that “don't count as important” (art- writing- video games- watching tv- et cetera)#and i feel really terrible about it because i don't know how to do anything Important#seeking advice#mental health stuff#general health stuff#void keith vents

how does this work again oml
Title: say my name (and we will never be afraid again)
Fandom: Dragon Age: Veilguard
Characters: My Rook, Varric Tethras
Summary: Tace Mercar, in the early days of their... association with Varric Tethras, realizes something interesting about his nicknaming.
Notes: Inspired by abyssal-ilk's post r.e. Varric calling Maevaris "Mae" rather than one of his many nicknames. Also somewhat inspired by the veilguard30 prompts by pavus, but there ain't no way I have the spoons to do all of them this late so it's not official.
It's pronounced 'Tass' like sass (or ass, tbh). Title from F+tM, as always.
"Varric," Tace said, "I've noticed something."
Varric had no quip for that; it died on his tongue. The dreadfully fake Orlesian accent had, at least for the moment, dropped into the ether, and a rare seriousness graced his associate. Their gaze was focused somewhere around Varric's left shoulder. It was not as if they had trouble looking anyone in the eye before. Magisters, demons, dragons—
"All right?" Varric replied uneasily.
"I've read your books, Varric."
"I'm flattered." He hadn't thought Tace had the time, as often as they were freeing slaves and running afoul of the Crows by stealing their marks and whatever else. Always under a self-inflicted deadline.
"You have a nickname for everyone. Blondie. Sparkler. Even the Inquisitor got Stormy. I've heard you talk about half the movers of Thedas, and it's rarely by name." Tace swallowed and looked up. Amber turned liquid gold in the candlelight of Varric's hideout, pinning Varric in place as surely as it had their first meeting.
A bead of sweat dripped down Varric's chest. Wasn't he used to Minrathous summer by now?
"You pick a nickname, and that's that. But not me. It's as if you make a point to call me Tace, when my own father won't. When everyone else calls me Rook."
"Uh—"
"I don't mind Rook. It is, at least, better than my birth name." He expected them to pace, to let out some of the frantic energy that gripped them so often, but Tace remained still, staring at Varric.
It was worse.
"What are you asking, Tace?" he forced himself to say.
"You call Maevaris 'Mae', too…" Tace cocked their head, eyes glittering. There was something about elven eyes that refracted light, lit them up like jewels in dim settings, though Merrill and Fenris and Sera had always insisted they couldn't see any better in the dark. Tace, for their part, had played the mysterious rogue they always did— until now. "Varric, are you calling us by our chosen names on purpose?"
"I, well—" He expected Tace to interrupt, but they just looked at him, and that was harder to shrug off. "Yes, all right? It wouldn't be fair to take your name from you." Umbrage rose in his chest, for being put on the spot, yes, but mostly for how stunned Tace looked, as if no one had thought of something so simple before.
A beat, and Tace laughed, a sound of delight and surprise in equal measure. "Ah, you are one of a kind. I have often been told the world is not fair, so why should we be? But you, my friend!" They had slipped back into the Orlesian accent.
Varric almost rolled his eyes. Then he stopped, midway to turning his back and uttering some line over his shoulder, and thought better. "Are you all right, Tace?"
Tace was, of course, mildly offended at the implication that they were not, but then they deflated. "I will be, I think. I just…" They waved a hand, words failing. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight, Tace." Varric watched them leave the room, footsteps silent and deliberate, and let out a long breath through his nose. He had a feeling his association with Tace was about to make his life even more complicated. He was too old for this shit.

december sucks for me this year yo
i couldn’t make it down south with my parents to be there to meet my new niece and nephew after being born, but it’s for the best anyway bc i tested positive for covid due to a coworker not giving a fuck about others catching it, and i’d feel WORSE if i was with the newborn twins while i had covid
so bc i couldn’t travel down there, im alone in my house for like 2 weeks, then the day my parents come home is the same day i leave my house to go be alone at another house to dogsit
halo is busy with family things the majority of this month so can’t hang as much, and now me having covid soiled plans of spending this weekend together 🙃
so i’m just.. alone. for weeks. away from my family where i’m constantly wishing i could be bc i feel so left out and sad, alone for most of hanukkah, alone for xmas, alone for it all.
just sucks
#vent#covid probably making me feel worse emotionally too since i’m so sluggish mentally it’s weird#like i never felt this kinda weird foggy sluggish way it’s different#i barely feel sick tbh#i just feel enough physical symptoms for it to still suck#and the rest is just such a lack of energy and spoons#like way more so than usual#covid is weird yo#and december this year sucks#least i have therapy next week#the only positive rn is the twins being born and everyone healthy and i’m so happy for that#but so sad about the rest of the month tbh
