[prideknights]

With pride coming up soon we really want to do something to help raise spirits. Pride may be cancelled this year, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t celebrate it. We know some of you have been wanting a PK t-shirt for a long time. So, we are doing a giveaway of some Pride Knights merch!

If you are an adult who identifies with the concept of Gifted Kid Syndrome and:

You have an unusually intense reaction to the concept of rejection, whether personal, professional, or academic

You have consistent trouble meeting deadlines

You have big dreams and ambitions that are completely achievable, but you consistently can’t take steps toward achieving them and you don’t know why

You procrastinate, like a lot

You like video games, like a lot

You switch seemingly at random between binge watching your favorite shows for absurd lengths of time or not being able to sit down and focus on them unless you’re doing something else at the same time

You cannot for the life of you keep your living area clean and organized

You struggle with substance dependencies, whether with alcohol, tobacco, weed, harder drugs, or even just caffeine

You struggle with texting/calling/emailing back, even for people you care about deeply and/or even for important deadlines

Please, please, please consider seeking out an ADHD evaluation.

I’m not a psychiatrist or any kind of a medical professional, but personally I can’t help but notice how many elements of what I was perceiving as personal failures before my diagnosis stem directly from my executive dysfunction. Meds and an adequate support system can make a world of difference!

Just some advice from your friendly neighborhood nonbinary-mom-friend blogger!

[leesacrakon]

…these are all seriously signs of ADHD?

You’re kidding

[sunrisingblue]

Not even a little bit.

[blazeeblake]

As someone who has recently started treatment for ADHD after literal decades of the stuff on that list (like, everything but substance dependency), do yourselves all the favors and look into it. Also, lighten up on yourselves, because this has nothing to do with inadequacy or failure.

[canadianwheatpirates]

Also the reason caffeine is on the substance dependency list is that ADHD brains mostly react “backwards” to low-moderate doses of stimulants. A lot of people with undiagnosed ADHD develop caffeine habits to cope, because it helps you slow down and focus rather than getting “wired”. The first-line drug treatment for ADHD, methylphenidate, is a controlled-dose stimulant that’s been studied since the ‘30s and is very effective in most cases.

[theotherwesley]

I’ve been so confused as to why this Gifted Kid Discourse keeps popping up on twitter, like Can We All Just Agree That The Public School System Failed Everybody, Everywhere, And Get The Therapy We Deserve and Also Guillotine The Bush Administration? ALSO YES, ADHD EXPLAINS SO FUCKING MUCH. My immediate post-pandemic plans are to take the next leap in my mental health recovery plan and see if I can’t get some meds for this.

It’s weird that Aragorn has a reputation for being a Loner™ when every time the heroes go to a new place they find out Aragorn Has Friends There. If you could theoretically have friends there, then Aragorn Has Friends There

They meet Aragorn in Bree, turns out he’s Friends with Gandalf, then makes Friends with the hobbits, then they arrive at Rivendell and what a twist he’s also Friends with the Rivendell elves! especially Arwen and Elrond! There’s an elf from Mirkwood in their fellowship who was already his Friend, but he also quickly becomes Friends with the dwarf from Ered Luin who hates that elf’s guts.  Boromir of Gondor initially WANTS to hate him but within a couple weeks he’s calling Aragorn his brother. The Fellowship arrives at Lorien and oh  Aragorn didn’t bring it up but he’s also Good Friends with Galadriel and Haldir and Celeborn and all them too! They travel to Rohan and Aragorn’s like “oh yeah I didn’t mention it before but I’m Friends with the people of Rohan, I knew King Theoden as a kid, and–”. He even makes Friends with his horse

 Aragorn tries to befriend everyone, from a 3-foot tall hobbit who’s not yet an adult to an elf-queen-sorceress older than the moon. He doesn’t seem grim/lonely because he’s friendless, he seems grim and lonely because he has so many friends, in so many places, that he’s always missing someone

[penmeetspage]

#I feel it speaks to the lotr themes of what makes kingship #that aragorn’s most notable powers are his healing and ability to make friends (lullabyknell)

[justastormie]

I love that Gandalf and Aragon are two sides of ‘oh it’s that guy’ coin. When Gandalf shows up everyone says it with a tone of Well What Bullshit Is Gonna Go Down Now? With Aragorn it’s Honey Look! The Feral Cat Came Back!!! Who Wants A Treat? And aragorn’s ’…I do’

[marisatomay]

my brother has been criticizing me all day and he told me if i wasn’t happy i could go somewhere else so i wouldn’t ruin everyone else’s dinner so i took the massive bowl of pasta + special sauce i spent the last 2 hours making from scratch for the whole family and i left

[marisatomay]

it really is incredibly bold to mercilessly criticize the person who is not only making your dinner but also holding a knife

[marisatomay]

I sequestered myself in the other side of the house and ate my family-sized pasta from a mixing bowl using a serving spoon in the dark because the sun went down in the 2+ hours I spent stewing and I was too stubborn to turn on a light

[marisatomay]

the only person I shared my pasta with was my dad who on a conference call at the time and didn’t just stand there and watch my brother be an asshole like the rest of my family and since he came to me in my sanctuary with his bowl and asked nicely if he could have some pasta i did share with him

[marisatomay]

sometimes you’re an adult who has been quarantined with your parents, younger siblings, grandfather, and dog for the last 2 months because of a global pandemic and some nights you just have to take your pasta and Leave because you are an adult who knows when to tap the fuck out

[rivkahstudies]

OP thank you not only for the amazing image of you eating pasta in the dark and your father kindly pleading for your mercy but also a wonderful example of when to set firm boundaries and prioritize yourself bless u

The fact that Julius Caesar burst into tears after reading about Alexander the Great because they were the same age but he could never live up to Alexander is one of the greatest things I’ve learnt as a classics student

[adspexi]

and Alexander himself got upset over the fact that he would never live up to Achilles- he paid his respects at Achilles and Patroclus’ tomb, and kept a copy of the Iliad under his pillow. History is nothing but a long, long list of maudlin queers fearing that they’ll fail to live up to the maudlin queers who came before them. 

[manhattan-gamestop]

Lesson of the post: become your own maudlin queer and wreck as much shit as possible

odin is like “when thor was born the sun shone bright upon his beautiful face. i found loki on the sidewalk outside a taco bell”

[chromalogue]

Oðinn spake:

Bright the sun shone | at the time of Þor’s birth, And bathed his count'nance fair. Loki, wolf-father, | the trickster, the liar, I found on the cold pavement While returning in glory | from a grand hunt For a 3 AM quesadilla.

My husband complained that this was more Shakespeare than Eddas, and I challenged him to do better.

Solen sken, skönt gyllene

Dagen Tor föddes

På trottoaren, vid Taco Bell

Där låg Loke

—KJN

My translation:

The sun shone, sweet golden

The day of Tor’s birth

On the tarmac, by Taco Bell

There lay Loki

(For poetry reasons, Thor needs the Swedish spelling.)
