ppl talk about the difficulty of writing characters smarter than yourself, but the real challenge is writing a character who is funnier than you are

it’s been said before and it will be said again but i’m begging you all nicely to restrain yourselves from being so casually aggressive and rude and obnoxious in the tags & reblogs of a complete stranger’s posts. no one wants to know that you hate [tv show that op giffed]. no one wants to know that you hate [character that op drew]. no one wants to hear you being ugly and negative for no reason. say what you want to say in your own post. don’t hit the reblog button. blacklist relevant tags. unfollow or block relevant accounts. log out. shut down. get help.

Maybe if I made a grown man arch his back off the bed and groan my name, I’d calm down.

what you need to understand about recommending a show to me is that no matter how much we both know I'll like it, I can't watch it until the Neurodivergence Department in my brain approves it. I don't know when that will be, and I don't have any more control over it than you do.

I think one of the most frustrating parts of ADHD for me is just the inconsistency.

yesterday (I’m medicated and I think that’s the only reason why I was able to do this in the first place) I showered and cleaned my whole room and was in bed lights out by 1am (which is way early for me). First time I’ve been to bed that early in weeks.

today I had every opportunity for things to go just as well. But I got stuck at 11pm. I couldn’t get myself to move and get ready for bed as much as I begged myself to get moving. Even though my head hurt, and I had to pee, and I was too hot, and thirsty, and my phone died, I couldn’t move. It’s 5am now, and I’m finally in bed.

It’s so frustrating to not be able to do stuff that I can totally do. I did it yesterday! Why is today so hard??

Yep.

The inconsistency confuses and frustrates others but more than that, it wears away at our self confidence and self trust.

Exactly as you said, its that feeling of ‘I was able to do it yesterday, WHY CAN’T I DO IT AGIAN NOW?!’.

The one thing we should know more than anything is supposed to be ourselves.. but for us, even our own minds can be hard to truly know.

(That was kinda pessimistic so let me also say that its possible to get better at it with a a tonne of research to build self knowledge and a bunch of coping strategies.

Basically trying to understand how ADHD affects us and how we can get around it)

The holy grail of searching through academic literature is coming across a string of publications that are like:

Here’s An Idea. Smith et al. 2016

Terrible Idea; a comment on Smith et al. 2016. Johnson 2016.

You’re Wrong Too; a response to Johnson 2016. Nelson 2016.

Guys Just Stop Fighting, None Of Us Know What’s Going On; a Review of the Current Literature. McBrien 2017.

Not even an exaggeration.

YOU get some dignity and YOU get some dignity

Finland explained himself in the comic, but in 2010 Denmark started giving heroine to drug addicts for free and it was such a huge success that it has continued until today. Because of this Norway has started experimenting with it too. It’s a lot cheaper for society because the addicts commit less crime, they don’t have to spend money on drugs so instead they spend it on things that are more healthy for them so they don’t end up on the hospital as often, they have to take the drugs in special clinics so there’s no chance of them taking an overdose or using dirty needles and spreading diseases among each other, there’s always staff ready to help them if they want to get off the drugs, and it’s a lot more effective way to help more people because addicts come into contact with professionals who want to help them before they even think about getting help themselves. Nobody wants to be homeless or an addict. Though they often end up getting involved in criminality because of their situation, the act of being homeless or an addict is not a crime in itself and the people deserve help like anyone else.

no academic born after 1400 can socialize. all they know is read poetry, be bisexual, yearn, contemplate murder, and lie

Be kind to yourself

I know life can be hard,

dealing us a shitty card.

Life gives as it takes,

no matter how much you'd want to hit the breaks.

Do not give up my dear,

despite it not being a good year.

It's okay to mourn what-could-have-been,

for who could have ever foreseen?

"Hindsight is 20/20" has never been more apt,

when we all are trapped.

One day at a time is best,

to handle any unrest.

Perfection is a myth most foul,

haunting us with its howl.

Improve what you can,

although things haven't gone to plan.

Be kind to yourself - you try,

and if you want to - cry.

Everything will be just fine,

soon we'll see the sunshine.

This too will pass,

as raindrops on stained glass.

Time eats us all in the end,

it's up to you - villain or friend?

This is so sweet I can't- (ಥ﹏ಥ)

*hits reblog at lightning speed*

Awww thank you ever so much!

fanfiction culture is reading a good fic but not remembering the title or author and then having to sell your soul to find it again

has anybody else ever gone “I read it in the last two weeks, how much fanfic can i have read in the last two weeks” and then you finally find it on like page 12 of your ao3 history?

Poor, poor confused captain Salamander…

Twilight is even funnier if you try to imagine how many people probably thought Bella was a vampire.

“You’re from Arizona, and you’re skin is STILL that pale?”

“Yeah, I can’t be around blood, it makes me…squeamish.”

“I know she keeps saying Edward jumped in front of the van and that’s why she’s okay, but that makes even less sense? He wasn’t even near her anyway.”

“The hottest guy in school was absolutely mesmerized by her after like a week”

I know I promised not to talk about Twilight anymore but the concept that after going to school with the Cullens for however long, it took a week for Bella’s new classmates to jokinglypassaround rumors that She’s The Vampire is a take I never expected and that we needed all along
