Hey, so I was browsing your tlt meta tag (because I remembered your post about Ianthe being waxen, still love that btw) and I saw a post about you writing a thing called The Megatheorem. Is that still a thing in the works? Was it already posted somewhere? Am I causing you physical pain by asking about it and should not do that?

(I've also got ADHD and fully respect if it's Option Three there and you'd rather I never asked about it again. Sorry if that's the case.)

Ahahahaha yes, it's still in the works and no, you are not causing physical pain by asking about it, although I did actually laugh out loud when I saw this 😂 Anyone is free to continue prompting my about it as encouragement to work on it! (Also I'm still surprised at how that Ianthe post took off - I very genuinely almost didn't post it because it was just sort of a passing thought at first lol)

The Mega-Theorem hasn't been posted anywhere because it's not finished yet lol. I also have ADHD and I was massively hyperfixated on working on it for several months and The Hyperfixation Shine has worn off BUT it's definitely not abandoned by any means. I did post the current table of contents a while back as a sneak peek, which I can share again here!

Several sections are pulled pretty directly from posts that I've previously made, which are all in my tlt meta tag. As an aside, I'm glad someone else is finding my tagging system useful lmao. I love being able to go back and browse specific tags for art or meta or whatever and I get a kick out of knowing other people do too lol.

I do plan to post it once I feel like I've tied up the loose ends! It's definitely going to have to be split into multiple posts/sections, though, given that it currently sits at 12,849 words and 25 pages 💀 When will said loose ends be tied up? Excellent question! I would also love to know the answer to that one!

#also would that mean that the entire western world from like 1836 to 1920 had ADD?

I mean, I get the point you're making but it would explain their relationship with cocaine and amphetamines as normal everyday medication.

Perhaps not so much. As I understand it, amphetamines were first synthesized in 1887 and didn't come into widespread western pharmaceutical use for another 40 years, and cocaine was first used pharmaceutically in something like its current form in 1880, as a surgical anesthetic (although medicine with coca leaves involved has a far longer history, of course).

In conclusion: they were all more or less unmedicated. And apparently can be diagnosed with ADD via their interior design, according to that anon. Might explain even more, to be honest.

DA Absolution: ohohoho the moment she said "The Red Knight" I thought "oh fuck it's that stupid red bullshit again"

asdjkhknl. I actually had nooo idea who "The Crimson Knight" could be when Hira said that so my little mind was set racing trying to work it out (...) and then in the final scene of the show I just

"You don't have ADHD you're just sensitive"...what? I've mercifully been spared that one and I can't work out what that's even meant to mean. Sensitive to what? Sensitive to stimuli/lack thereof/emotional dysregulation due to my ADHD? Sensitive to bullshit "ADHD don't real" takes? (Admittedly, aye, I am). Sensitive to magical waves coming through the aether that are kicking my prefrontal cortex in the dick?

There’s this new-ish thing going around at the moment that where people are identifying as HSP, or “highly sensitive person”, and most of the things they are describing are neurodivergent issues. But they don’t want the stigma of being associated with Autism or ADHD, so they label themselves as “HSP” so they can say “oh no, there’s nothing wrong with me, I’m normal. I’m just a highly sensitive person”. I reblogged a couple of posts about it I think it was last week? and how a lot of the “girl-boss” professionals are being targeted with it by life coaches.

And you know what, neurodivergency is a spectrum, so chances are they can’t relate to some of the things we talk about. But the way they’re choosing to define it whilst also distancing themselves from ADHD and Autism—and also now telling people “oh don’t be silly, you’re too X to be one of those people. You’re just Highly Sensitive” is ooft, yikes. Big old ableist red flags right there.

Obviously not everyone who identifies this way is like that, but there’s a lot of red flags in their community that keep popping up. And it seems to becoming more prevalent on places like YouTube which of course means the info people are getting is often skewed.

"I am going to need you to read [...] and then actually use your goddamn brain." Systlin please, this is tumblr, where reading comprehension comes to die. We are all Jared, 19, and our skulls are hollow and bare.

An excellent point, but better to light a single candle than to curse the dark

Ok I am loving the headcanon that no one can quite decide if Madly Sadly is wearing an incredibly pimped out bath robe or proper Magic User Robes that're for some reason made of terrycloth. I am now however decreeing that, to me at least, it is in fact a noir detective style style trenchcoat that's either been slowly warped by prolonged contact with Gaud or your helpful addition to a transmutation spell
