what i say: i’m working on a fic!

what i mean: i haven’t written a single word about this. in fact i haven’t held a pen since 2015. every day when i take the train i maldaptive daydream about the possibilities of this fic and how the characters would interact, specifically when they have long intense heated glances across a busy room with enough raw yearning force to set off a jet plane and blueball me into oblivion. yes i have a ‘writing prompts’ tag for no fucking reason. no i can’t spell maladaptive

[cephyalapod]

Im feeling very called out right now. And frankly thats RUDE.

something that people really dont understand about ADHD is that we dont “jump from one idea to the next”

we have very fast, very associative minds that connect ideas. we have a train of thought, it just goes WAY faster than yours!

example: im thinking about dogs. that makes me think of pitbulls, which makes me think of an animal planet show i enjoy. the show connects to tv in general, which makes me think of my favorite cartoon. i associate my favorite cartoon with art and animation, and i wind up thinking about shading techniques.

TL;DR: having ADHD is kinda like playing a lifelong game of 7 Degrees of Kevin Bacon

[gazztron]

…WHAT THE FUCK

[daggers-drawn]

I am plagued by this but also that associative learning makes it really easy to be a hyper-generalist in terms of skills and knowledge.

[rptheturk]

This is how my brain works….

[reassambled-dragoon]

The downside is, very few people can keep pace with these jumps, and I’ve actually been told my “mind leaps” are annoying.

Yeah.

Let that sink in.

Being told that the way my mind makes connections between Point A and Point D while seemingly bypassing B and C is “annoying”.

[inyri]

… this.

It drives my husband absolutely NUTS- we’ll be having a conversation and in a lull between sentences I’ll have jumped ahead six topics, pop back in with a “Yeah, and-“

Meanwhile, he’s looking at me like I’ve grown another head. To him, whatever I’ve just said is a total non sequitur, but I can track EXACTLY how I got there… it just doesn’t make any sort of sense to anyone but me.

Me: *Removes my cat from my lap to do something else.*

My cat: Father is...evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.

Might I also add

[shydestinybread]

May i add the piece from artist Verbal Vomit

[unyanizedcatboys]

Glad to see we’re all in agreement that cats talk like disparaged victorian children

[explorerrowan]

I am so incredibly glad we finally moved on from "i can has". Cats are clearly smart enough for advanced sentence structure and dumb enough to draw entirely incorrect conclusions about what they're talking about.

[dualclock]

My cat, banging the cabnet door over and over and over: bang bang bang

Me: you will not earn what you desire by banging the cabinet door.

My cat: This is a test of wills, is it not? We shall see if your ability to put up with my incessant banging outlasts my eternal lust for snackie treats. Years of conditioning have hardened me for this purpose. bang bang bang

Me: ksst!

My cat, throwing herself to the ground like she's been shot: Oh! Oh I have been assailed in my own home! Have mercy, have pity! Surely in the cruel darkness of your heart there is some mote of goodness that might stay your hand! Do not strike me, I pray you!

Me: ok

My cat, after waiting about 3 minutes: bang bang bang

writer culture is having that one scene that really scratches your id, and being willing to write forty thousand words to get to it.

[sevdrag]

FUCK

[shiplocks-of-love]

This is literally. LITERALLY. How I started writing. How very dare you.

[writeanapocalae]

the scene doesn’t take place until book 4. BOOK 4. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

[queerspeculativefiction]

I feel this. Oh I feel it so much.

[kianspo]

I hate everyone in this thread.

[katherynefromphilly]

29 chapters to get to The Kiss

[peaceheather]

The prompt was filled in chapter one of the first story. THAT SCENE was chapter 5 or 6 of the… third story? And then that OTHER scene was somewhere in the fifth story.

[sunhazeys]

u ever wake up from a dream like “damn i guess i’m not coping with THAT as well as i thought i was”

[ineffablyaro]

Random person: You do know that romantic and sexual attractions are what make us fundamentally human-

Aros, turning to Aces: Gods?

Aces, nodding: Gods

[saltoftheao3]

Me, finishing a fic: ok so this is almost done, needs some polishing and proofreading until i can post it. Let’s let this rest for a day or two, give it a fresh look and fix it up afterwards so the effort really pays off :)

The gremlin that lives in my brain, going berserk on that “post” button: NEED! GRATIFICATION!! N O W!!!!

[forcearama]

You know that Jedi padawans all hung out and gossiped about the masters and knights behind their backs and commiserated about their masters getting on their case about stuff etc, just like all teenagers do about their teachers and family, and this coupled with my firm belief that Anakin is an oblivious prude 95% of the time is now my favorite thing. 

Picture it: a bunch of teenage padawans, including Anakin, all hanging out on the lawn or whatever and someone says something about how “well we all know which knight gets around the most” and everyone starts giggling and whispering about bathroom graffiti they saw on a mission in the outer rim once, and Anakin is just like “…who? Who is? Which knight? What do you mean “get around”?” and everyone is like, wide-eyed all “…oh shit, who’s gonna tell him”, and then Obi-Wan walks past by coincidence and the entire quad goes SILENT until he’s out of earshot. 

[forcearama]

You ALSO know that Obi-Wan had been feeding him the most flimsy excuses for YEARS. Not so much because Obi-Wan is ashamed of his own behavior but because he’s trying to protect Anakin’s innocence.  

[smash cut to Obi-Wan stumbling in the doorway with a couple of people] Obi-Wan: Uh, hello, um, Anakin. Didn’t – didn’t think you’d still be awake. These, uh, people and I are, just going to have a pleasant evening. Alone. In my room.  Anakin: [barely looking up from the romance movie marathon he’s been watching, mouth full of popcorn] OK Master. 

[smash cut to Obi-Wan, wildly making out with some dude on the sofa] Anakin: [walking in] Master! What –? Obi-Wan: [bolting upright, hair askew] Oh, Anakin! I…this gentleman was just, he was having trouble breathing! I was resuscitating him! Force Healing, and whatnot.  Anakin: Oh, right. Good job, Master.  Random Dude: [saucily] Yeah, Master, good job. 

[smash cut to Obi-Wan, walking out of the bathroom into the living room with some hot alien woman, both of them wearing nothing but towels] Anakin: [walking in the from the front door, oblivious] Master I’m home, I brought pizza and I – uh. Master? Obi-Wan: [nervously looking back and forth] Her, um. Her shower. Is broken. So she, she needed to use ours.  Anakin: OK, but why are you naked?  Obi-Wan: I…had to make sure it was working properly, Anakin, what sort of host would I be otherwise? Anakin: Oh, yeah. I guess that’s true.

These fool forget Obi-Wan’s literally right there the minute they lock eyes
