Also, this stupid bitch (ME), ruined his Nikolai cosplay, because he messed up the colours. For some reason his king-ly colourshame was white and gold in my mind, so the jacket i ordered is white and gold. But his colours are pale blue and gold. White gold is for the servants. I ordered it on an impulse without confirming the colours first and now I pay for it because I don't have the right one. So no jacket it is for the Convention lol

Problems I’m having related to being a creative bitch with ADHD

Wanting to work on stuff but not knowing what the “stuff” is so just staring at my phone for hours

Wanting to work on something but it’s not the RIGHT thing, so my exec func says no

Hyperfixating on one thing to create from/for and not being able to do anything else even though I want to

Making stuff just for me but still getting bad RSD when it doesn’t do very well

Feeling uninspired once something gets even mildly boring or my audience doesn’t seem receptive to it

Being afraid that my content isn’t going to be liked so I don’t post it, even when I’m proud of it

Hyperfocusing on a project for a couple hours/days/weeks then abandoning it

Wanting to improve skills but not having the focus to try anything I’m not instantly good at (i.e. sewing)

Wanting to work on a project but feeling stuck so I just give up out of a fear of failure

Hyperfocusing on a project and forgetting to eat/drink/sleep at appropriate times

Hyperfocusing on a project but having to stop doing the project bc of needs, obligations, or a social interaction and losing the hyperfocus boost and abandoning the project

Getting depressed when I can’t be creative and being unable to be creative when I’m depressed.

Feeling like making content for my hyperfixations is annoying

Feeling like posting about my projects for my hyperfixation is annoying

Feeling like I’m being annoying period

Inability to start or finish anything, I’m always just stuck in the middle

Having great ideas but no ability to utilize them

Waiting for supplies in the mail

okay so my post about sensory overload and music blew up WAY more than i expected and i notice it’s similar for other posts of mine about being neurodivergent. would people be actually interested in me making this blog about my experiences with being neurodivergent?

id probably still post cosplay, and maybe include some posts about both (i already have a post planned for avoiding sensory overload at cons, how to be an ally to neurodivergent cosplayers/congoers) but to be fair i already dont post much cosplay. But would y’all be interested in a blog like that?

Me: finds beautiful authentic redesign of Pocahontas. Me: looks up if cosplaying Pocahontas would be racist. Me: really sad cosplaying Pocahontas would be racist. Me: has 3 unfinished costumes and shouldn't be looking up new ones anyway.
