#the executives are dysfunctioning lol

[the-blorb-system]

I'm gonna follow borh what you said here and mine to define mine then

- Source Game Wise

That probably has to be either Time, or Four for me. I absolutely fell in love with Minish cap- like that's solidly the game which got me into playing any of the games myself. I have solidly the same amount love I have for the manga of FSA for the minish cap game. It reeks of childhood and nostalgia for me. As for Time- well I always felt extreme bouts of odd nostalgia when it came to Majora's mask, although I was never part of the loz fandom until like early 2023.

All I knew about loz till then was that there's a princess named zelda and a man who protect her, and both of them are blond haired elves in a medieval fantasy world. Oh yeah, and the fact there was a game that released in about 2017 that was named breath of the wild (the name only stuck w me cause it gave me tropical forest survival game sorta vibes), which was all over my YouTube page.

....Not to mention that for the longest time I wondered if I might have any history with majora's mask, especially in terms of source memory or introjection, because I can swear I had that song's melody as a lullaby since I was 9 years old.

- Personality design

That's a hard one, and I'm gonna need to word myself carefully here cause I really don't want anyone on my head preaching about picking favorites, which is a given which will happen. I personally gonna avoid that, but all of them have traits that make them likeable for me, and traits that will keep me miles away from them.

- Design Wise

That's also a hard one, for an entirely different reason. I'm not keen on fashion trends, and I tend to wear what make me happy or whatever comfortable. So that's highly dependent on two factors;

1. Do I say based on what I'd personally wear?

In that case, I can safely state that legend's is my go-to. I never wore pants in public (religious reasons), and I'm very used to wearing skirts. Not to mention the weird sensory issues? Yeah I'm going with legend. His outfit doesn't have many layers which is good cause I get warm very fast, and I really like the green and red combo. I probably wouldn't wear most of the rings though cause I got chubby fingers and my fingers are naturally weak, don't want extra weight. As a close favorite is wind, cause I used to have a pj set close to his blue shirt, and it was my fav shit ever in the world. I feel like that's made out of cotton and is really light. (I actually can make a whole ask/post about my opinion on their clothes and ranking them by wearability for me)

2. Based purely on aesthetic and sight?

Ooh boy. I'm inclined to say either Four or Sky based on the fact it's looking simple, but also beautifully incorporate their aesthetics while not being way too overwhelming. Top favorite has to be Hyrule though. Smth about the classic green and brown gimme Peter pan vibes- It feeds my inner child

- Most likely to make friends with

I wanna go the "champ" route and say someone like Legend, Wild or Wars, but Legend will legit diss me on sight cause I'm very Socially awkward, wars is way too busy to reach out first to create friendships (not to mention you'll need to put a lot of effort on your end first to push this friendship since he's a busy guy. Sure he'd go to war for you later on, but at first he doesn't know you, so you need to put in the effort to show him it's worth it). why do I get a weird feeling I made a pretty accurate description of your system's wars based solely on info I already had of him based on previous talks?

As for Wild, well he'd just call me weird in his head, nod awkwardly to my rants, and move on with his day.

If we're going realistically, I'm gonna say twilight or sky, cause they're friendly and will actually reach out first cause I seem off and they wanna check on me cause it's in their nature to keep vibes good (I'm very socially anxious irl). Not to mention both have very tightknit childhood relationships with people, so they won't see it as weird to go to a stranger and ask why they're crying or smth.

- Wet cat

I have no idea what means lol

- Silly guy

Definitely time as well, but wars and wild too. One just reprimand others for chaos like he isn't a casanova who set smth on fire a moment ago, the other will roll with you in mud if you said you feel bad- solely to make you cheer up. I love them. My sweet sweet goobers.

- Relate to most

Youch- hitting close to home here. I don't want to go the trauma route, so I'm gonna say legend, Time, Hyrule, and Wild.

I have chronic pain issues and I'm tired of life to the point it's a chore than an experience

I constantly lose track of time, and I feel like a phantom child in an adult's body

I never get the moment to actually sit and rest, because I'm always getting chased by my fears and by my life experiences and expectations, so life isn't really living, it's survival

And I suffer from chronic amnesia lol

- My favorite overall

Well, I can't say one. I love them all for what they are. But probably legend. Got a soft ass spot for that ragdoll the gods shake around like a sack of potatoes for their entertainment. Plus, we have two legends, and one of them is my adopted little brother figure, the second I have a soul link with. ....Soooooo-- yeah.

You know what, this is so real

I love how you reason things out, I sometimes do the same and it's nice to see

I can definitely respect the... not picking a favourite thing, or appreciating all of them for various different reasons- in some ways I do too- but I'm much less abashed about picking a favourite. I have a habit of doing that with pretty much every media I get into, and my headmates who are LInked Universe fictives don't seem particularly bothered.

I could just outright say "Four's my favourite, guys, sorry" and I might get like. Four's Undercover Silly Guy side to come out long enough to go "Ha, suckers" and stick his tongue out at the others, but like. That's it. Wind might pout, Wild's likely to just be like "yeah, you know what, fair" or even say something Dumb (/respectfully) like "I'm not my favourite either, it's fine".

Fortunately most of them understand that who my favourite character is isn't a reflection of how much I like any of them, especially since they're all a little different from their sources.

Also how dare you call out my dynamics with Wars XD /lhj

He very much, at least in our system, is the type that needs to be approached first, and consistently, to have any kind of more personal bond with. He is a very good guy, follows a more classic definition of being noble, and he has this sense of responsibility for... everyone, which makes sense given his history as a war captain. He generally has a baseline amount of care for everyone he meets unless he's given a specific reason not to, but he doesn't have as many interpersonal relationships just because he has to be reserved in order to keep track of so many people.

I think I got lucky with him, actually. We're still not super close, but that whole inner-world kerfuffle that happened a while back sort of accidentally got us to a point of being closer, and he distinctly told me that he was choosing to advocate on my behalf, so one way or another I earned some kind of loyalty from him, which is nice.

Me (procrastinating taking a shower for literal hours): I do not like the wet place. Me (seconds after entering the shower): This is my home, now.

I think what a lot of people don't get about adhd is that, at least in my experience, the difficulty staying focused makes me perceive one, very short and doable thing as a series of multiple microtasks. Like it's not just, "Start drawing". It's "Get computer. Get pillow. Get charger. Get headphones. Arrange everything. Open the file. Decide to listen to music or YouTube. Pick the playlist. Get up and get the pen you forgot. Settle everything back on you again. Don't open tumblr and just start rambling about executive dysfunction. Get off tumblr-"

Cleaning with ADHD be like:

1. *the sudden urge to get my life together*

2. Start by putting some clothes back to the closet

3. Find clothes you haven't seen in a while: get distracted, spend the next hour trying on different clothes

4. Snap back to reality and get angry with yourself for losing focus.

5. Stand in front of your door, stare at your room and daydream of all the possible things you could do next.

6. Snap back to reality and realise you've been spacing out for a good 10 minutes

7. Decide to put on music

8. Spend an hour trying to pick out songs that fit your current mood

9. Finally get back to cleaning

10. Vibe hard with the music, get the urge to listen to a specific song

11. *back in the music picking loop*

12. See a message/notification and click it

...

13. Snap back to reality 2 hours later, realise it is getting late and you should just sleep

15. Cry about your miserable attempt at cleaning your room

16. Go to bed, try to sleep

...

...

17. At 3am, get the sudden urge to get your life together again. Decide to act on it tomorrow

18. Wake up, too tired to do anything

So how are yall doing today-

Having late-diagnosed adhd is weird.

(CW internalized ableism)

Realizing that what I always thought was a “normal” source for motivation was really just shame, guilt, fear, self-judgment and a whole lot of “shoulding” (apart from the rare hyperfocus where the motivation was actually my own)

What I thought was “self-discipline” was just constant self-berating and guilt for being so “bad” at it when other people seemed to pick it up so easily

I always felt so ashamed whenever someone credited their success to their parents raising them to have a great work ethic. How come *I* didn’t turn out the same way, when my dad spent most of his waking moments working to provide for us? How did that not teach me a great work ethic?

Even if no one said it to my face, I internalized deeply the notion preached in every corner of society that people who aren’t self-disciplined are lazy and don’t actually care

I never thought I had adhd because I didn’t fit the stereotypical symptom profile. And I believed so deeply that I just had to “work harder” even though I was mentally deteriorating from how hard I actually was working. But that’s normal for everyone, right?

And now that I’ve deconstructed a lot of this shame and guilt (after years and years of therapy that I’ve been lucky to have), I see it as it is and have stopped using these toxic things to motivate me. And I’m realizing just how little “natural” motivation I actually have. Any motivation I do get is sporadic, for super random things, never consistent and not usually for “productive” tasks.

I’ve finally come to the place where I don’t feel even slightly opposed to trying out adhd medication either. But it has come at the *very* opportune time when I’m unemployed, searching for a job (with the aforementioned lack of motivation in a shit job market), and uninsured.
