I need fanart of Jedidiah A A Martin and Elijah volkov kissing passionately.

(Mayhaps kissing me too but that’s for another day alas)

For WYS/CS readers, Brandon Sklenar could also be Benny. If you know you know

Fallen leaves and fallen stars,

Seas of snow coat lands afar.

Slumbering burrows await the spring,

To you and I the cardinals sing.

Summary: Aldo Bellini, going through it, during the events of Conclave (with some ancient history thrown in) This is mostly unsexy, nearly 4k words of being in love with someone you can't have, and God and everyone you hate are also there.

The Cardinal Sins are virtues for the adhd mind.

Our brains don't produce dopamine like a neurotypical's, and so outsourcing the dopamine is a valid choice.

I just ate a massive cone of chocolate ice cream on my 45 minute break at work and came back so happy, and sharing the joy of the picture I took of it with my coworkers (temptation unto Gluttony? :3c).

Double shifts are hard on me mentally because of dopamine drain, and the ice cream rejuvenated me. The sense of taste and the texture of nummies is a huge source of dopamine for me. Caffeine in delicious and sweet Southern iced tea and lattes. Chewing on my straws to stim and for flavor of sippage during.

Gluttony saves and maintains my brain, and I am opposed to temperance.

I am still reeling with happiness (dopamine) over that ice cream. Obsessed. Hyperfocusing. It was so good.

The alternative I've been facing of late at work is mental suffering due to little to no dopamine. Foodform dopamine beats the suffering of not attaining such nummies.

Likewise are Lust and Greed joyful sources of dopamine unto us. Sexual pleasure and climax, beholding sexy figures, of course the impulse spending our brains are wont to do, and the joys of new things attained!

Pride lets us not hate ourselves for how our brains are. Wrath is in our natures, adhd rage. Envy ties in with Greed, the yearning for new things that others have, that seem to make them happy, that could make us happy (dopamine source). In my experience, sleep deprivation makes it harder for my brain to produce dopamine, so Sloth remedies that, along with the other different types of rest (Hayley Honeyman, an adhd youtuber, did a video on the seven types of rest!!!).

And, at least for me, the Seven Deadly Sins are among my biggest special interests at present, so engaging in them and thinking about them naturally gives me an additional big dopamine hit by default.
