#i wish it weren't taboo to talk about how 814 are literally just an audhd couple... could discuss this for days. does anyone want to

actually yes i would like nothing more this is lowkey all i think about sometimes

HLSDKFHLH i was about to publish my own post but now i feel enabled to write a Longer Response 🧡 thank u guys

2 me 814 is Girl who is so classically adhd it's comical (overt hyperfixations + poor executive function + basically arfid + time blindness) coexists beautifully with Misunderstood autistic girl (too straightforward for other people + pretended to be a car as a child + sensory issues through the roof + consciously masking in every interview) while everyone loses their minds because they should Hate Each Other and be at each other's throats??! and yet they don't because their neurodivergent swag transcends petty team politics 💗

like honestly i think they interact easily because they're both weird & particular in their own ways but their priorities are ultimately the same so why would any of that matter you know? and they try to accommodate each other when they're able to even if it's little things like oscar not eating salmon around lando anymore lol 😭 (i say this as audhd guy with extreme sensory issues and many other Problems and Issues... that is in fact romanze to me. also little stuff like the No Name Drop? moment because yes it's small in the grand scheme of things but to me it's special because it's like... THEIR inside joke and oscar is proving he does enjoy it and cares about maintaining it :') and then when lando was feeling down post-race in brazil he pulled out landinho all on his own <3)

like this is so random but i was just rewatching the logan sexed bit earlier and it's so funny how oscar is just like ??? WHAT. and somewhat annoyed at being grilled about it because in his head he's thinking "it's literally just a show title why are you Willfully Misunderstanding me idg why that's so funny to you are you 5." but with lando there's so much less... idk laughing At each other as if there's some big joke one person is missing out on and more just giggling together because oscar thinks every little thing lando says is funny and because they're equally charmed by each other's particularities. like oscar doesn't mind that lando is super fidgety and respects that he has Depths (saying that lando is a mix of sarcastic/dry, excitable, and serious) while lando has joked that oscar is somewhat robotic before but obviously still revels in wheedling genuine reactions out of him :') like you can see from how they get caught up in their little world while in parc fermé or doing their f1 media duties that they're capable of just focusing on Each Other without a care in the world for other people and they aren't talking just to have content for the cameras...

and like again the whole point of f1 is that it's a media circuit that needs overextended drama to survive as a consumable product but in the end neither of them care to sustain these artificial demands because it's just antithetical to their personalities and how their brains operate... their job is literally just car 🏎

also another thing is how people talk about 814 always twinning but what adds even more dimension to it is basically oscar admitting and being conscious of his mirroring lando's expressions 😭 and the fact that he's always choosing him for interview questions/copying his answers during games! like i think it's sooo compelling that oscar unintentionally latched onto lando as a young teenager in the uk and never really strayed from that because you have a very expressive, larger-than-life lando who is prone to being misrepresented because people don't really understand the manifestation of adhd and then level-headed oscar who is also poorly read because he doesn't express himself "conventionally" taking one look at lando and being like Hmmm yes. i'll mold myself after that. and lando being so happy and open to that dynamic 🧡 does it not move u

Hello!

This little blog of mine has gained quite a few new followers these past couple of weeks, and I figured it would be nice to sort of introduce myself and give a lay of the land.

My name is Kiki. Some call me 'Keeks'. 'Hey you' works pretty well, too. I'm a 34 (soon to be 35) year-old pan woman who has been rediscovering her love for fandoms, fanfic, fanart, and general imaginative play. Part of allowing myself to lean into all that was my diagnosis of autism and ADHD a couple years ago. Before that, I masked big time - pretending not to be as in to certain things as I was. Discovering my AuDHD has allowed me to fall into what feels like a more complete and authentic version of myself.

So. This blog is an ode to my current hyperfixation: Arcane. More specifically, Silco. And that fixation is not showing any sign of slowing down.

I'm an fanfic author and artist. My current passion project is Children of Zaun, a prequel to Arcane Season 1 that explores the development of the revolution, the power (and struggle) of community, and what ultimately led to Silco and Vander's betrayal. Lots of canon and original characters, lots of intimate intrigue, and a healthy dose of angst. Since I began this fic in 2022, it is not canon with information revealed in season two. Felicia is nowhere to be found

I've written a handful of other Silco one-shots and ficlets, too.

I'm not as consistent as I'd like to be with updating and sharing orginal content, but I do my best.

Anyway. Thanks for being here! I hope you enjoy 💗My ask box is always open

Te: PetriGrof, it seems to me that Betty by virtue of her passion and dedication to magic, she would absolutely be okay with the status quo PRIOR to finding the Crown. And if Simon was never cursed (ignoring the War for a tic), then Simon and Betty could have stayed forever more as, like a thing in motion that stays in motion. So I wanted to ask you, the Betty expert, do you think that Betty would have ever become unhappy in her life with Simon? Prior to the Crown?

*rubs my audhd little hands together evilly*

I think there would be a lot of instances where she would be frustrated and maybe clash with Simon over their very different approaches to work and life (Betty's impulsiveness vs Simon's caution), but ultimately I think the sum of things that bond them and compliment each other outweigh the issues that would come up. Obviously, I still maintain that therapy - both couples AND personal - would be a must for them. They both scream complicated upbringings and lasting personal/family trauma to me.

In a universe where the mushroom war never happened and the world progressed sort of Earth-like but with no crown interference, I could easily see Betty becoming increasingly stressed out and frustrated about their work not being taken seriously. Simon seems to take his work being ridiculed in stride, but I don't think Betty would be so forgiving. I think if someone threw a book at Simon's head, now that the two of them are together, he'd probably have to restrain her from hopping off the podium and bare-knuckle boxing with the audience.

I think she'd also be confused and frustrated even further that he doesn't get more angry about it. Simon's work fascinates and inspires her because of how radical and "out there" it is, she cited it often before she actually met him (as per the 'Jerry' storyboards), so why doesn't he feel compelled to defend his work as fiercely as she does? Why is he content to let people disrespect him, and by extension their shared beliefs?

And therein lies one of the problems: Simon is used to going at it solo, having his own work and beliefs ridiculed was the norm, it probably never even occurred to him that Betty would feel disrespected by extension. In fact, he would likely be so fixated on the angle of Betty being embarrassed to be with such a pariah in the academic community that he doesn't see what about the situation is actually bothering her. Simon's generally nonconfrontational nature in defending himself and his work would probably be a running argument with Betty (in an "I love and respect you so much, so why are you not loving and respecting yourself?" way).

Don't get me wrong though, he may not be a fighter when it comes to self defense, but I think people who would dare disparage Betty and her work in front of Simon would do so entirely at their peril.

But I digress, I think it's worth looking at that they both seem to have the same kind of self worth issues and self-sacrificing tendencies, although they're articulated differently. Simon is more 'resign yourself to fate and accept the horrors if it means you can help someone' while Betty is more 'throw yourself into danger to actively help someone while denying the personal consequences'.

I bring this up because, on the other side of things, I could see Betty's impulsiveness and recklessness on their expeditions coming to a boiling point. We see this hinted at in 'Jerry' quite a bit, but I think there would be situations where Betty literally puts herself in mortal danger (ala Casper and Nova) in order to recover an artifact against Simon's wishes.

I think back again to the Casper and Nova book, how Nova ran headfirst into danger and Casper as a character had no choice but to progress. To me, at least, the implication became that the only way to stop "the story" (or tragedy) from progressing any further would be to literally abandon the 'adventure' by physically refusing to go forward and putting down the book. I'd say the same principle applies here, to a certain degree: let's say that they ended up in a parallel situation (not crown related obviously), and Simon chose to abandon the expedition they were on by immediately saving Betty instead of going for the artifact they were searching for.

As with the parallels Betty had to Fionna and Cake that Simon saw, I could see Betty getting furious at Simon for stopping her, and by extension letting the entire expedition go to waste in the process. I think that this would be the one and only time Simon would ever find it in himself to blow up at her, worse than the way he did in 'Cheers'.

I think the confrontation would see Betty having to reckon with her inability to accept that she is something worth fighting for, and that she is loved, and wanted, and more important to Simon than literally anything else, let alone their work; and Simon having to confront just how much Betty sacrifices to help him, how damaging it is even though it's shrouded in her perky quirks and smiling insistence, and how he's been unknowingly encouraging her to do so by not being cognizant of this pattern and making moves to stop it.

Or not. Point is, I think something would really have to blow up before they're both able to recognize they have some pretty serious problems and agree to explore some kind of help.

All this being said, the thing that 'Cheers' really demonstrated for me was that, although they may have been unaware of these unhealthy behaviours and the patterns they were making in their relationship, they were completely capable and willing to change. And that really is what I think is the most important, albeit tragic aspect of these two.

This is not a “this is why you’re chronically ill” post. This is an “if you’re chronically ill your body might not have the strength to handle this that it otherwise might have” post.

Also: English is my second language and I’m audhd.

If you want to ask anything about the post, please do.

If you’re chronically ill, you might want to cut yeast out of your diet and take some antifungal.

Backstory: my mom believed in anti-yeast conspiracy theories, plus/because my sister had an allergic? reaction to it as an infant. So most of the bread I have consumed in my life has been yeastless. Because of health drops, for the last couple of years I have only been able to consume one brand, as the others were too rough. And there was a time in early Autumn 2022 when the quality of that bread became shit. I got fed up, and started eating regular white bread (I used to be able to do it fine when I was healthier).

My digestive health got worse.

I really didn’t want to prove my mom right about yeast, so I kept eating yeast-made bread for a while, my health kept getting worse, ultimately I stopped eating that bread but didn’t take antifungal yet. This resulted in several months of progressively worse digestive health no matter what I’d do and me becoming almost certain I am terminally ill.

Finally somewhere closer to the New Year I have concluded that taking a Fluconazole capsule at least won’t hurt.

I felt better literally from the first capsule. Not only did my digestive health improve but also my mental health, and my migraines. I had horrible time with both in Autumn but attributed to other things. Mom at first suggested take three? capsules a week apart each, but ultimately my digestive health became much worse again earlier than a week passed, so I took another I think it was five days after the first but I should have earlier. I don’t even remember if I took three or four capsules ultimately, sorry, and I don’t remember how many days apart it was, only that I planned originally to take the third three days after the second. Look from your own health, I guess. Now, my digestive health is finally actually beginning to get better.

…and also, what I forgot when first typing the paragraph, even though I was thinking it through: yeah. That was me who ate yeast for maybe a couple of weeks, and then left it for months. I guess most people constantly eat yeast, and if they need to get treated from it they’ll need more than me.

I originally was going to write about this right after the first capsule, but decided I needed to first look at how it would go a bit later; then I also got some other issues while I was treating that and needed to sort that out, yeah. And ultimately, I.. I don’t think I completely forgot when I finally recovered, but it feels like it. I’m sorry; anyway, the important thing is, I’ve written. I’m scared it’ll be taken as fearmongering, or that I should polish it better, but I think I should really just post this.

Do tell me if you’d like this post better polished, though, I’ll try.

I think I have autism;

It started out as a joke about my quirky personality, but recently I’m not so sure it’s wrong. The more I learn about autism and the many facets that make up all the varying degrees of the spectrum. I find more and more ways that I identify with the disorder. That and AuDHD. The combination of autism and ADHD is where I truly identify. Then I think back to when I was young and my parents had me tested at the psychiatrist who ultimately diagnosed me adhd and sent us on our way with a bottle of might as well of been meth.

Was Elmo a mumpet? I guess this is as good as a journal. I’m just going to type everything that goes through my head. Elmo in grouch-land is t a terrible movie either is thirteen reason why. It’s actually a pretty good story line up until the last couple seasons. Honestly really liked it but could have gone with out the political attempt to brain was us. I didn’t notice to amount of pushing sexuality and other . I love naturopathic medicine, but I can definitely see when a certain level of naturopathic treatments for a child could boarder child neglect. Like I agree we should try non-chemical options first always then if they don’t help we should go to the medication. Huggsly from Emlo in grouch land. Oh yeah I need to find out if Elmo is a mupet
