the bard is my persona, it represents what I am! the circus theme is hugely inspired by Elio mei and their one man show!
the theater of the damned is my life, a stupid tragedicomedy that i cope with by making dumb jokes. and if that sounds dramatic, well, so am i and so is the bard.
didn't really know how to include it, but I'm auDHD, please use tone tags!
The Vibes from Nikos Legundo. It's insane. Obviously the lightning is Zeus's blessing, but the booming voice, the laughter, the sheer joy of being alive! I love this guy. (I don't want him to win). But I love him.
I want to see him stop laughing and go on a killing spree. I want him to explode. I want him to go out with a giant bang and no one will ever forget him.
I don't want him to have to stand alone on a beach waiting forever.
Well done Legundo. Another one of the characters ever. This guy never misses with characters that make me want to devour my entire face. Man. What a character
Fun fact one of my friends has five middle names and two lasts names which makes her full name 8 names long and this is what this reminds me of 😭 also I don’t think his parents yelled at him I think they were too busy yelling at each other

They dont warn you that when you have SPD, you WILL have periods of time where *no* food tastes good. Not even your safe foods. There was a period of about 3-4 weeks where I couldn’t finish any meal I had because of severe lack of appetite and sensory issues. They also don’t warn you that these periods will come for no reason. It’s not always about burnout or a shutdown. Sometime it just happens.
To be fair to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, if I wrote some pulp short stories for a quick buck and an obsessive fandom sprung up around it at a time when fandom culture as we now know it didn't really exist yet, and I had to witness people being insane about my characters while having very little precedent for what the fuck was going on, I would also be confused and frightened and desperately trying to escape from the situation I'd ended up in.
