A lover of the series of Naruto who just needed yet another tool to help her kill time. But I love this thing called free time. Whoever came up with that phrase that we need to "kill" it? o_O An influx of activity during important assessments is expected. Let me rephrase that first sentence. This blog spot shall be my new platform for the sport that is commonly referred to as procrastination.

Sophie & Howl's last name

Sophie keeps her own name (Hatter) and Howl keeps his own (Whatever)

they both use "Hatter"

they both use "Pendragon"

they both use "Jenkins"

they use some kind of combination, eg "Hatter-Jenkins"

they switch (Howl uses "Hatter" and Sophie uses "Jenkins")

they change it all the time to annoy everyone

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about

How about all the above? Didn’t Howl have, like, at least 4 that he was using concurrently, not to mention any past aliases he may have discontinued, and any others to which us readers were not privy. And this was pre-Sophie. If anything, the amount of surnames available for the two of them to use at least doubles when they get married.

Like Howl’s system before, I’m guessing they take on a different alias depending on their location.

y'know, one thing i don't see get talked about much in regards to asexuality is how it feels to never be 'sexually motivated' by anything

and not just when it comes to advertisements using 'sexy' models to try and sell you stuff, but like. in general

sex as a favor, sex as a bribe, sex in exchange for whatever

casual sex, 'friends with benefits' situations, even simple flirting

it all looks a whole lot different from the perspective of someone who's immune to manipulation via sex appeal, who has virtually no understanding as to why sex would motivate someone to cheat on their partner, etc. etc.

sex is worthless to me

i mean, it's useful as a story element in fiction, but it genuinely perplexes me that sex is such a driving force behind so many aspects of irl society & of people's individual lives, for better or for worse

and that it's so deeply ingrained into how the average person views the world & various situations, because the average person feels sexual attraction, whereas i do not

i think the barrier between aces & allos is actually even deeper than it seems on the surface at times, because it's more than just the grating expectation that everyone must want to 'settle down' and have kids, it's also the fact that the majority of the world is sort of 'in' on a joke that aces will never truly be a part of

What presents do you think Howl and Sophie would give to each other? 🤭

Howl would definitely come up with some over romantic nonsense expensive gifts (and declare bankruptcy after) while Sophie would either make something herself, or she'd be so bad at gifts she just ends up buying something completely useless, gives up and in the end gives him toilet paper

[ailovegaara]

U know what? I reckon Sophie is actually a secret master of surprise gifts. Maybe for a big milestone/anniversary/birthday, she’d have something super thoughtful planned and maybe others like Lettie, Michael and Calcifer would be in on it. Or more like, she bullied them into hiding it from him and playing a role 😆

Sophie would be able to convincingly convince Howl that no, she forgot to get him a present. “Why, what for? Oh, [insert occasion]? Oh. I forgot. Sorry.” Most likely said whilst cleaning something.

Howl starts whining and moping all day. Sophie grunts, “what’re you whinging about? You’re not a child anymore.”

“But I got you a gift! And it was expensive!”

“So you give something expecting something in return? Come on now, we don’t need to get each other presents, it’s already been [x years of celebrating this occasion]!”

And just when it looks like Sophie might just be crossing the line from teasing to being mean to him, or that Howl was getting genuinely upset, or that the threat of something on the same level of green slime was becoming real -

“SURPRIIIIISE!!!!!” erupts everybody.

“It was so hard keeping it in! I was afraid you were going to [do something that would ruin the surprise], you got really close!” Michael excitedly babbles on.

“Calcifer! You withheld this from me? Oh how you betray me now!” accuses Howl.

“Sophie forced me to!” Calcifer says defensively. “And besides, we no longer automatically share information now. Isn’t that what we both wanted?”

And whatever the surprise is just makes it one of the most memorable days of Howl’s life.

[bold, centered text] Forty-Two Percent [bold ends]

So how much is “adequate”?

Science says: 42 percent.

That’s the percentage of time your body and brain need you to spend resting. It’s about ten hours out of every twenty-four. It doesn’t have to be every day; it can average out over a week or a month or more. But yeah. That much.

“That’s ridiculous! I don’t have that kind of time!” you might protest - and we remind you that we predicted you might feel that way, back at the start of the chapter.

We’re not saying you [italic] should [end italic] take 42 percent of your time to rest; we’re saying if you don’t take the 42 percent , the 42 percent will take you. It will grab you by the face, shove you to the ground, put its foot on your chest, and declare [image ends here, mid-sentence]

Here’s the last paragraph, completed courtesy of Goodreads:

We’re not saying you should take 42 percent of your time to rest; we’re saying if you don’t take the 42 percent, the 42 percent will take you. It will grab you by the face, shove you to the ground, put its foot on your chest, and declare itself the victor.

[katrinastratford]

I did math!

In a 30 day month there are 720 hours.

Assuming you get 8 hours of sleep each night (ha!), that’s 240 hours of sleep/rest.

But 42% of 720 is 302.4, which means you need another 62.4 hours of rest a month. That’s about 2 hours a day, or about 4 entire days (16 hours each, not double counting sleep) of just resting.

If you’re looking at those numbers thinking, “Who has that kind of free time?” well…that’s why we’re all burnt out!

cleaning with ADHD is a nightmare. it’s an endless cycle of finding a half-finished chore and stopping the one you were already working on, then remembering that something else needs to be done and getting started on that, then finding half-finished chore and

[jumpingjacktrash]

i have the solution! i call it ‘junebugging’.

have you ever seen a junebug get to grips with a window screen? it’s remarkably persistent, but not very focused. all that matters is location.

how to junebug: choose the location you feel you can probably get some shit done on today. be specific. not ‘the bathroom’ but ‘the bathroom sink’. you are not choosing a range, you are choosing a center; you will move around, but your location is where you’ll keep coming back to. mentally stick a pin in it. consider yourself tethered to that spot by a long mental bungee cord.

go to your location. look at stuff. move stuff around. do a thing. get distracted. remember you’re junebugging the bathroom sink and go back there. look at it some more. do a different thing. get distracted. get a sandwich. remember you’re junebugging and go back to the bathroom sink.

nt’s will go crazy watching you, and if they demand to know When You Will Be Done you will probably have to roll them in a carpet and stuff them up the chimney. you’re done when you feel done, or you’re too bored to live, or it’s bedtime, or any number of other markers, you get to pick. but the thing is, by returning repeatedly to that one spot, you harness the ‘hyperactivity’ part instead of wasting all that energy battling with the ‘attention deficit’ part.

not only will the bathroom sink almost certainly be clean, and probably the mirror and soap dish too, you might’ve swapped in a fresh toothbrush, a new soap, you might’ve unclogged the drain – you will probably also have cleaned or fixed up several things in the near vicinity, or in the path between the sink and where you get the fresh toothbrush, or maybe you did your grocery shopping cuz you were out of soap, or maybe you couldn’t find a clean hand towel and ended up doing laundry.

this is good. you got shit done! it wasn’t necessarily Cleaned The Bathroom in the way nt’s think of it, but screw ‘em. things are better than they were.

plus you worked off enough energy to be able to sleep. which is not small potatoes when living the ADHD life. :D
