‪The incorrect and negative beliefs we can get from years of negative feedback not knowing we have ADHD or how it affects our lives. While not everything is solely caused by ADHD, it can affect us and our comorbidities in many, many ways. Good news is, treating ADHD can do wonders for Anxiety and Depression!

Long shot here, but is there a part 2 to this about treated adhd? For, like, closure.

So. I’ve been laughing about this like all day and I need to talk about it. My gay ship just went canon in the most male power fantasy game of all time.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 recently released (I’ve been playing it, it’s good). It’s an RPG set in medieval Bohemia. You play as Henry, a blacksmith’s son. The first game, released back in 2018, starts with your village being burned to the ground and everyone either is killed or has to flee. The rest of that game is you trying to, among various things, deal with your trauma and get revenge. It’s a very well executed story in my opinion.

A notable character in the game is Lord Hans Capon, who was a real guy but the game version is a bit loosely based on him. Hans and Henry become rivals then friends. Their noble/peasant dynamic is reminiscent of Arthur and Merlin in BBC Merlin (though I would argue the class dynamics are far better executed and more nuanced). Like ten people including me decided to ship them.

The first game was a bit rough but overall good. It garnered a decent audience, including a notably large audience of straight white men who really like medieval history but not enough to know much about it beyond swords are cool. You get the picture.

The second game is announced. Those guys I mentioned are super excited!

Well. As it turns out there’s going to be a homosexual relationship in the game, according to an announcement made by the director at the end of January. Uh oh. W-well as long as it’s not the main character-

Cue release day, February 4th. IT IS!!!

HANS AND HENRY. It’s THEM! They have sex ON SCREEN. No nuance about it (though it’s important to note this is an option you have to CHOOSE).

The guys go crazy. KCD has gone woke they cry. And to make it worse there’s *gasp* a black man in a Bohemian court! DEI!

I can’t believe Warhorse Studios did it. I’m genuinely amazed. I have never been so vindicated in my life.

Everyone play this game for the love of god. The combat is tough but there’s plenty of guides online. It’s worth it I promise.

Fun fact! Saint Valentine was beheaded, and here is a photo of his supposed skull! (which is kept in a reliquary in rome because catholics are freaky that way)

Now THIS is more my speed than the usual exhausting mushy nonsense all over my dash

So a while back I won a cheap eBay auction listing for a collection of love letters from the first world war.

They arrived today, and…the listing was WAY more than I expected for the price I won it for. There’s over 100, and they’re not just from WWI, but from 1906 (earliest I’ve found so far) through to 1915.

Charlie writes to his girlfriend, Gertrude. This is the most beautiful, lovesick stuff I’ve ever read. He sends her so many letters, sometimes twice a day, and lots of poems. He seems to have been an artist, as he talks a lot about small exhibitions of his stuff, and included a flyer for one. He also talks about how her parents don’t approve of them and how he’s desperately awaiting the day they’ll be married.

I haven’t found the latest of the letters, but the fact it’s up until 1915 and then stops…doesn’t give me hope for a happy ending.

This man continuously refers to his precious beloved Gertie as his queen and goddess, and whilst most of it is sickly sweet, there’s some raunchy stuff too, with him talking about how he can’t wait until they have a little house together and can ‘please each other all day’…

There’s. So many.

I’m going to put them in order by date, read them through, and then maybe even transcribe them so we can find out a bit about Charlie and Gertie’s love story.

This man was absolutely lost in the sauce

Y'all he writes about sending her pressed poppies and postcards for her collection 😭😭😭

111 years after Charlie got his dick touched in 1910, I decided to tell you all about it. Sorry Charlie.

Some more finds:

And some CODE!!!

Also all this is poems:

UHHHHH…👀👀👀

This has a lot of notes so I need everyone to know:

They got married 😭😭😭❤ (thank you to @lovesjustachemical for finding this!!!)

Kinda fucked up that you just stole somebody’s mail

Don’t know how to explain to you that acquiring, preserving, and transcribing historical ephemera that would have otherwise just been trashed from people who have been dead for over 50 years and don’t appear to have any living descendants isn’t the same as ‘stealing someone’s mail’ but Tumblr never ceases to amaze me with it’s cold takes.

Listen up: if you see ICE distract them! Scream LA MIGRA (la me-graw) top of your lungs to let people know ICE is there and to GTFO basically

Film ICE, get in their faces live stream it, yell at them, ask them questions, throw rocks at their cars, if you’re bold enough and by this I mean can’t be deported take a fucking swing at them. Distract them , waste their time. By doing this you’re buying people time to get to safety.

You’re going to tell Spanish speaking people “No hables” (no ha-b-las) it literally means don’t speak

You’re also gonna say “Pide un abogado” (Pee-day un ahb-o-gah-do) ask for a lawyer

These ICE agents aren’t going to be speaking Spanish , it’s people’s right to have a lawyer if being detained or questioned by ICE

They’re starting these raids in blue sanctuary cities to try and punish us for being blue, now blue state governments are gonna push back but until they can do that, look out for the people.

NO ONE IS ILLEGAL ON STOLEN LAND! ICE WORKS FOR NAZIS! PUNCH NAZIS

If you’re going to be doing this, cover your faces and identifying marks. It’s flu season shame if everyone was wearing N95 masks, or had kuffyias or bandanas covering hair and face…I mean it’s not like it’s winter or anything

some people are experiencing problems but its good to know they’re not universal

I think the fear is more about being able to get back in, right now, though not being able to leave is *not* at all outside the realm of possibility in the future, afaik

Burlesque performer talks about (among other things) the technical perils of rhinestone settings

...starting to wonder if I should be looking at burlesque and drag sewing videos to see the kind of sewing content that looks fun to me...

Maybe. Drag and burlesque performers DO have a lot of creative freedoms with their 'fits, tho
