Maladaptive daydreamer culture is making an entire fCuKing wiki for your paracosm
To anyone who PMed this blog recently (especially if you havenât received a response yet)
In summary: this blog has mysteriously lost its ability to PM people???
Like... on desktop, itâs not showing up in the âcheck your PMsâ list, and the messaging tab isnât available on mobile
Iâm sort of bad at responding to people on Tumblr, but now... I canât respond even if I wanted to...
So I just wanted to say that I havenât blocked anyone who PMed me!!! At first I was semi-procrastinating at responding, but now I uh. Canât access this blogâs PMs at all. I have no idea whatâs going on though
ATTENTION!!!!!!
Okay thank you for your attention
Hi, Iâm a new para/paracosm blog! Iâll be posting about my own paras/paracosm, reblogging other peopleâs para/paracosm posts, and possibly even posting any submissions I might get!!!
I guess if anyone wants to hear a bit about my main paracosm right now: all the paras in it are members of my original alien species (AKA units), it takes place in their home dimension (AKA Tespoid), and I love it with every fiber of my being
âŠIâm sure what else to add here, so! *melts into the murky darkness, escaping once again*
*does 30 minutes of responsibilities in life* Good work me!!!! I have earned a 3 hour daydream session as a reward *grabs my earbuds*
This post implies that y'all can control your daydreaming sessions instead if them just happening and you not even ârealisingâ it, like damn I wish that were me
My post was about maladaptive daydreaming. Daydreaming is not optional for me, and I get literal withdrawal after at most 6 hours. The original post was also about a very real problem I have that leads to nothing getting done.
I can type up a very long list of ways maladaptive daydreaming has ruined my life. Even if I do have the ability to control when my daydreaming happens, that literally doesn't matter when daydreaming is an actual addiction.
Not sure how many of y'all care about my paras but! Today is a very special day,,,,,,,,,
It's the birthday of one of my deepest paras, Paragon!!!!!!!
Interact with this post to wish him a happy birthday!!! ;v;
(I know I haven't really discussed my paras on this blog but I'm very tempted to change that if enough people are interested...)
i love ur paraâs design hiÂ
HELLO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS DRAWING AGAIN AND ALSO TO EVERYONE WHO HAS INTERACTED OR WILL INTERACT WITH THIS POST,,,,,,,,,,,,
Also!!! To the anon asking me about my paras!!!!!!! I plan to answer your ask sometime today but as a heads up, I can get pretty bad about actually answering asks sometimes so. Whoops : ' )

Maladaptive daydreamer culture is
(That's my pacing crop circle, in case it's not immediately obvious)
hElp Iâm trying to keep myself from daydreaming about my paras or paracosms because I wanna write everything down before it becomes impossible but itâs really difficult not to daydream about them hhh
Hi!!! I hope you wouldn't mind a little pep/advice talk because this looks like a job for me
For some context: I assume you're referring to note taking, and my main paracosm has a summary doc that is literally 43 pages... and I'm not even done adding to it yet
The things that help me with this exact problem (which may or may not work for you too but it's probably worth a shot):
-Take smaller notes and stash them in a designated place! As one method of this, I'm an iPhone user and I take tons of smaller iCloud notes and sort them in paracosm folders!!! That way, I can jot down stuff and not have to worry about super sorted organization at that moment
If you don't have Apple stuff, I'm sure there are Android note taking apps out there! I'm also fond of infodumping on Discord, screenshotting the result, and stashing them in a designated photo album
-If you want one long summary doc, I'd recommend at least starting that ASAP. If it's not too late and it's easy to fill out, things will be so much easier later on. (I learned this the hard way.)
If it's too late and things seem overwhelming because there's so much info, try to chunk it up! Record one subject area, and if you feel like doing more, go for it!!!!! (Side note: I also have severe ADHD, so for me it's more like "I jot down one area // lose my attention span // MADD takes over and I go off to daydream", but if you don't have attention span issues you'll probably get more done than me...)
-If you want to take a peek at my paracosm summary doc for organization ideas, and/or if you just want to hear about my original alien species/their home dimension/my most used para (since I have yet to add more paras than him to the doc...) feel free to PM me and I'll toss you the link! It's on Google Docs, I can share it with you easily
-You (probably?) don't have to avoid daydreaming if you take smaller bites in your note taking. I mean, trying to avoid daydreaming sounds like a living nightmare to me personally and you might be different, but I figured I should try to offer some help if it's like that for you too
........Okay, this turned into something a lot longer than I was planning, but ah. I hope this helps!!!!!!! Sometimes I can be bad at responding to Tumblr PMs, but if you have any questions about this/want to check out my summary doc as offered earlier/just want to chat for whatever reason, feel free to PM me! (This PM offer also extends to anyone else reading this, by the way!!!)
*does 30 minutes of responsibilities in life* Good work me!!!! I have earned a 3 hour daydream session as a reward *grabs my earbuds*
I am BEGGING the person who stole my post about maladaptive daydreaming is a maladaptive daydreamer too but something tells me that's not the case :))))))
When you were daydreaming in the car and finally arrive at your destination
*cries physical tears over my daydreams*Â *cries physical tears over my daydreams*Â *cries physical tears over my daydreams*Â *cries physical tears over my daydreams* *cr
So Iâm currently trying to explain what daydreaming itself is to a non-MADDer friend and theyâre... not exactly getting what I mean
To anyone who daydreams: if youâd be willing to explain what the act of daydreaming itself is for you, reblogging this post with your input would be much appreciated!!!!
Someone: Tell me about your paracosms and paras!

Separatember
Hey fellow MaDDers, and welcome to the Separatember blog!! You may have heard of Faeriefeb, Mermay, and Inktoberâ month-long art prompts created for artists to get creativeâ so why not have one for our maladaptive daydreaming! [Please see the bottom of the post in regard to Paramay]
You're free to respond to the prompts in any way you want, whether you write a short story, simply answer in one sentence, or create an art piece! ⥠⥠âĄ
Your para's going through a pretty tough time. What are they thinking about? Does anyone notice?
If your para were a singer, what genre of music would they create?

Something your para thought was normal until told otherwise
How they identify and/or support other's identitiesâ are they out? are they questioning? do they not care? do they disrespect others?
Your para reacting to their creator!
What would your para say to their younger self?
Your para wearing masculine/androgynous/feminine clothing (whatever they don't usually wear!)

Just how good is your para at driving? Would they like to put their skills to the test at a race track?
What's your para's favourite show? (and character!)
What would have to be at stake for your para to abandon their best friend?
Would your para ever be publicly (non-sexually) naked?
What's the worst dare your para has ever recieved?
Your para's friends organise a surprise party for your para. What's their reaction?
What would stop your para from doing the right thing?
Would your para ever go overseas? Where would they go, or where have they already been? Who do they go with?
Can your para skate? (rollerblading and/or ice skating)
Your para and their familyâ any strange relatives? what's their relationship with everyone? any traditions?
Who is your para's biggest hero? How have they influenced their goals, mindset, or values? Have they ever met them?
Does your para get lost easily? What action do they take when it happens?
How would your para prepare for a test? Do they get shit done, or does the test date completely go over their head?
Please spread this by reblogging or adding the #paratember tag to your responses!! :) Remember, there's no judgement in this community and you're free to only respond to a few, or none at all!
Update
I've been informed that there's already a challenge that was apparently created earlier this year! Go check out the @paramay-challenge if you haven't already!!! It'd be amazing if you could contribute to this one also, but don't feel pressured! It looks like Paramay was a lot of funâ I'm upset that I missed it!!
Real fear is seeing writing blogs in your maladaptive daydreaming blog's notifications
What is a VERITBOND?
Separate from a para, a veritbond or a verit is someone/something in your daydreams that you feel a deep connection with, or that you feel has gone beyond being a para.
USAGE
âI was just talking to my veritbond the other day.â
âI love my verit!â
âMy verit Ally is really cute.â
âMy veritbonds are incredibly important to me.â
EXAMPLES OF VERITBONDS
These are traits and examples of verits that have been expressed by daydreamers!
The veritbond isnât controlled by the daydreamer. They have full autonomy over themselves and their actions, and are aware theyâre a veritbond. The daydreamer describes the verit as a âtwin flameâ.
The veritbond is totally controlled by the daydreamer. They are totally unaware they are a verit. The daydreamer feels an incredibly deep and undefinable connection to the verit.
The veritbond is described by the daydreamer as fitting with them like a puzzle piece. The daydreamer canât imagine life without their verit, and is depressed when the verit doesnât appear in daydreams for stretches of time.
These examples are not the be-all, end-all of what a veritbond is. Whether or not you feel the term fits is totally up to you. If your veritbond doesnât fit any of this, thatâs valid too!
The only limit to the term is being exclusive to maladaptive or immersive daydreamers.
Any questions can be directed to my ask box!
CREDIT
Thank you so much to @madd-memes, @dayscreaming, @nokawolf, @ss-aturatedsunrise, and the entire Daydream Garden discord server for working together to coin the term and the definition. I love you all!!!
howdy!! why verit? what does it stand for? e.g para being a prefix meaning alongside or beyond
im not sure about this term because i was under the impression that para was this and oc was anything that wasnt that, but its ringing a bell with me regardlessâ it sounds like a branch between soulbonding/daemonism/etc and daydreaming and that branch has always been mega important to me >w>
Hey there!!! I helped coin this term and verit is short for veritas, which is the Latin word for truth!
There were several options brought up when coining veritbond and "verit(as) + bond" resonated with the involved coiners the most
So think of it like "true bond", basically!
