An Addiction to Fiction

Hey, I'm just a southern girl from the states with an addiction to fiction. I write fanfiction (and all of my works need a beta if you want to volunteer!), and also original fiction. I'm gonna be straight up, I've got pretty bad ADHD, and I may get distracted from a project. If I do, feel free to harass me about it. Use my ask box for whatever, prompts, random questions cause you're bored, whatever. Anyway, welcome to my crazy mind and my dry sense of humor (seriously, very dry humor guys).

Mandy Patinkin on The Late Show, December 18, 2015

My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare for…the compassion and empathy that was never shown to you, but might one day save humanity as we know it.

Patinkin on quitting Criminal Minds: [Explaining why he abruptly quit the series before its third season began, blindsiding its creator Jeff Davis, Patinkin says,] “I thought it was something very different. I never thought they were going to kill and rape all these women every night, every day, week after week, year after year. It was very destructive to my soul and my personality…After that, I didn’t think I would get to work in television again.“”

One day Mandy Patinkin decided to stand up and be my hero, and he hasn’t stopped since.

Is this hyperfixation going to go away in a few days or am I developing a full blown special interest? I guess I’ll have to find out

[so1987-deactivated20230102]

pls stop saying there is only advocacy for neurodivergent kids and not neurodivergent adults. there is advocacy for neither. there is mostly just advocacy for parents and "loved ones" of neurodivergent ppl that paints them as burdens

[blipblorpsnork]

Sir that’s my emotional support hyperfixation

Falling Asleep for ADHDers

Basically, put something on in the background/ think about something inconsequential. Yes, people tell you to clear your head BUT THAT’S near IMPOSSIBLE WHEN YOU HAVE ADHD. Don’t empty your mind, but rather focus your mind on something stupid.

So what you should do it put on something/ think about something that will distract your brains from all the little things that come up in your head. Then eventually you will fall asleep. This method works if you have ADHD or not, but its especially handy for adhders.

I found a good explanation for this on reddit:

The brain is like a group of people talking to each other. When you’re watching TV, the part of your brain that watches TV says “Shut up guys, I’m watching TV,” so you can focus without thinking about cake or math. As a result, the others sit silent, grow bored, and fall asleep, until only the TV watcher part of the brain is left. Left by himself, he too gets bored and falls asleep.

When you’re in bed, assuming you aren’t counting sheep or something, the entire brain is kind of in free time mode, and any part of the brain can speak up if it wants to. They start talking to each other, and even if one of them starts to drift to sleep, the others wake it up either by deliberately talking to the sleepyheads or just being noisy. Eventually more and more of the parts of the brain fall asleep from sheer exhaustion no matter how loud the others are, and eventually the last one passes out and you are asleep.

This is the best method for falling asleep that I’ve found; I was using it subconsciously until I saw others mention it too. Besides just passing out of exhaustion, its the ONLY thing that works for me.

ADHD is either:

I'm sitting right in front of you and looking you in the eye, but I have no idea what you just said

Or

I'm in the other room and listening to your entire conversation while cooking dinner

No in-between

god how do people just function?!? its like i can either take care of my schoolwork OR keep my apartment clean OR look after my mental health OR have a social life… but never two or more at a time. no matter which aspect of my life is going well at a given moment, theres always 3 dumpster fires blazing away in the background. i feel like im playing adult whack-a-mole

[ohevoyev]

me and my old star wars mutuals after seeing new content and all knowing we’ll probably be let down again but it’s still exciting anyways

[bugkinz]

so my dad is a college professor and he just got alerted recently that in an effort to go “paperless,” the faculty is having their printers taken away. My dad decided to take this opportunity and… create a meme? So he goes proudly up to me and tells me “I created a meme!!!” and lo and behold…

my dad’s first meme

he was so proud of it and he emailed it individually to other faculty and nobody gave him any acknowledgement, he came into my room all sad. pls share to give my father the meme support he deserves

It’s almost as if collective efforts to boycott establishments actually work when people aren’t all headass with their “there is no ethical consumption under late capitalism/this isn’t the only unethical company ” excuse that they make to thwart calls for boycott, criticism or collective public action lmao

Fortune Teller: I see flames, and five- no- seven skeletons carrying your body away, as a murder of crows flies over your head.

Customer: Is that good?

Fortune Teller: No idea. But it looks- [mouth clicks twice] like, super badass.

Okay but real talk does someone want to be my second eyes with my Ron-centric HP fic? It's already over 10k words long. I'm planning on NaNoWriMoing it this year. Please message if interested!

My favorite video lol

I’d like to take this moment to remember with fondness how Mad Max Fury Road was a feminist anti-establishment anti-capitalist anti-war film that criticised the toxic world in which boys are bred as short-lived canon fodder for selfish bloated old men who hoard resources 

while women who dream of a softer, kinder world but are able to fight for it are the key to a better future with better leadership so long as they kill the old, abusive authorities along the way, and distribute resources fairly instead of selling lies about its limits as set by said selfish bloated resource hoarding old men

[powerfulwizard]

Why do they always write their articles like this??

[powerfulwizard]
