Tips for Roleplaying when you have ADHD

Roleplaying with ADHD can be a real challenge! As someone with ADHD, sometimes it can be very difficult for me to stay on-task, keep track of whether or not it is my turn in a thread, or stay inspired for threads. Here are some tips that help me roleplay even with ADHD!

Have a robust tagging system so that you can easily find whose turn it is, see inspiring images, or reread past replies. Give threads individual titles. Or, if you can’t think of one, try something like “(partner’s url): (character names)” or “(partner’s url): (thread number)”. This way, you can keep track of threads by tag, and look and see if you responded or not.

Find your favorite situation or location to write in, then stick to it. To determine what that is for you, ask yourself things like: do you like instrumental music while you write? Do you like to type replies out on the train to work on your phone, then copy-paste them into the posts when you get home? Do you like to sit at a writing desk? Do you like having a laptop in an armchair? Do you need some tea or coffee? And so on.

Consider using other platforms to type out replies and avoid distractions. The Tumblr dashboard can be very distracting. Maybe you are someone who keeps track of threads by copy-pasting all the replies into a private discord server, then typing your reply underneath and copying those into a post. Maybe you are someone who prefers writing replies in a physical wordpad and then typing them out. Maybe you prefer an old-fashioned word processor. Whatever the case, you don’t have to write out your roleplay replies on the dash or in the drafts if you find those places distracting or executive dysfunction inducing!

Use tools like spreadsheets or RPThreadTracker if you are someone with lots of threads or your notifications are busted.

Is there a certain step of the roleplay process that stops you from starting to write replies? Cut it out of the process! I find that I get hung up on finding the perfect icon, the perfect gif, or the perfect faceclaim for my replies and characters. What I did to get around this is I stopped using icons and started writing with only text. I also find formatting and icon editing takes way too long and therefore don’t do it. Maybe something else, like fancy tags or pretty post banners, stops you from writing your replies. Try going without those things and see if it helps you stay focused and motivated.

Remember you don’t have to write replies in logical or chronological order! If you think of a witty quip that would go in the end of your reply upon reading your partner’s reply, write out that quip, then work backwards to write the description. Or you can take simple bullet point notes and come back and write your replies properly out later when you are in your writing space.

Have a playlist handy for your muse or ship that you can pull out for a burst of inspiration. You can even have playlists by verse or mood.

Please reblog if you found this helpful! If there is anything that I missed, then please do not hesitate to add it in the reblogs!

"The faster we travel, the faster we can save [name]."

"Hey, look who it is? Remember me?"

"It's been a while."

"I think we can speak as equals."

"I can't accept that you aren't allowed in the village. it's stupid."

"So you're staging a protest? Fun!"

"That's enough! i've got a fucking image to maintain!"

"Don't you touch them!!"

"Stop! they're too strong for you!"

"Pathetic to the end, I see."

"I am not their leader!"

"They saved me! Stop hurting my friends!"

"Oh, you're funny! I'm gonna start crying here!"

"Have you felled the beast?"

"You ain't feeling bad for this freak, are you?"

"Move, you stupid arm, move!"

"[name], please! Come back to us!"

"I'm weak, and I'm sad, and I'm lonely, but you make me strong!"

"How remarkably useless of you."

"Oh, splendid. By all means, let us undertake a murderous rampage."

"It's just... thery're scared, you know? People can't change overnight."

"I'll hurry it along as best I can, but can you please give it a little more time?"

"Oh, I couldn't ask for a better lover!"

"If only you would come to me but a single day sooner."

"That's right, this here's the weapon that'll be ending your life."

"Aw, don't sweat it-- there's nothin' to worry about."

"It'll be a pain the likes of which you've never felt before."

"Honestly, for most folks, it ain't the pain that makes 'em scream-- it's the sight of their own blood flowin' out of 'em."

"Yeah, it won't end so easy."

"This part hurts like a real sonuvabitch."

"It's my favorite, which is why I always save it for last.

"Fucking hell, are you ever loud! Mind pipin' down there?"

"You're gonna make my hand slip."

"They were the embodiment of man's greatest technological achievements; they walked like humans, ate like humans, laughed like humans. The one thing they could not do, however, was shed tears, for they were not designed that way."

"She's the only kid like that in the whole village."

"Beautiful horns like a bull, just growing outta her head above her ears."

"The body I was to train was left to grow soft."

"I had lost the will to practice discipline."

"We've been together since we were born."

"I am a weapon."

"When I rob them of life, I am filled with dark joy."

"I feel like a princess or something."

"Damn! Where'd they go?!"

"I see something over there!"

"I'll challenge them and give you time to escape."

"I am incapable of being lonely. Or missing others. Or crying."

"I don't know how much we can actually use."

"Be careful, alright? This place is dangerous."

"I haven't heard about anything like that. But I haven't really been listening."

"What a bother."

"Don't judge me for sayin' this, now, but it was almost... beautiful. Like lookin' at dark red flowers in full bloom, you know?"

"Oh, the horror of it all."

"It is I you seek.

"The captain tramples life under his feet."

"Conflict beckons revenge, and gives way to new solitude."

"I cannot defy your orders, but neither can I obey them any longer."

"You cannot die. you will never die."

"You can't go in the [place]. It's locked."

"You can't just leave me hanging here!"

"These memories are leaving a bad taste in my mouth—and I want it gone!"

"Seems like you know a thing or two about [subject]."

"That thing's your problem now, not mine."

"You remember me, right?"

"No need to tell me your name. [name], right?"

"You've got to help me out with this—you'd be perfect!"

"What was that all about?"

"Hello? This is [receiving muse]'s phone, right? It's me— [sending muse]!"

"What even WAS that thing, though?!"

"Must be some kinda truly terrifying beast... But how are we supposed to search for a thing when we don't even know what it looks like?"

"Watch your step. It's pretty dark..."

"...Hey now. No. That's not for you."

"I went through all the trouble of making that for you, and you just give it away?!"

"I hope you realize that's all there was, so now there's none left for you..."

"I really owe you..."

"Don't you dare touch that! That isn't for you!"

"I guess I should at least tell you the full story."

"[name] here is the only thing in the world I care about."

"Figured this might happen."

"I knew I wasn't just hearing things!"

"Come out, come out, wherever you are!"

"I've read about it in books before... A mental scar. Like psychological trauma, you know? I think that's what you call it."

"Maybe it had a terrifying experience in battle, so now it's scared to battle at all?"

"Pah... Listen to you. Like you had anything to do with it."

"Come on. Let's get moving before I change my mind!"

"I used to play here all the time as a kid."

"There'd better be a good reason for calling me here like this..."

"That place is bad news."

"And I can't just stand by and watch while a friend heads off into danger on his/her/their own."

"Yeah, much as I hate to admit it... I do think we're gonna need some more support."

"At least try to take this seriously, would you?!"
