Rping with ADHD

You either hyperfocus on a thread or ignore it. There is no in between

“…What was I typing again?”

Five tabs of drafts open. Half a sentence in each.

“I don’t need to draft that. I’ll remember it.” (Spoiler alert, you won’t. )

“Oh look an ask/im! Let’s just open that and leave and get distracted and forget to ever answer it”

“…No seriously, what was I typing again?”

Aggressively spamming partner in excitement in caps and scaring them away

*writes a word* Time for youtube.

Begs for starter. Never answers it.

“Like this post for a starter!!” Never writes starters.

It’s suddenly 5:am because you spent all night hyperfixating on one thread

“It’s not that I don’t like our thread, it’s just not my hyperfixation so I can’t focus on it.”

*can’t sleep because you can’t stop thinking of said hyperfixated thread*

*writing lines for said thread in your head when you should be sleeping*

*sweats nervously while staring at 467546 unanswered ims/asks*

*melt down because you can’t just answer drafts like a functional rper*

“Hey let’s rp! …I don’t know what but let’s rp!”

“Friend: So did you make the starter yet?” “…What starter?”

“What’s a queue?”

“I was about to tell you an idea but I spaced out”

“Can’t write, gotta wander the house”

*chewing things while writing*

“….WHAT THE FUCK WAS I TYPING??”

Feel free to add your own!

//side effect of starting this blog,

I'm just saving all the black cat pictures I see on the internet rn. All of them

(@wizards-associate) "Mistlefoe. I told you not to touch my smoked fish stash. I marked it with MY NAME in the refridgerator."

“Touching it is not the same as eating it! I’d taken over half the fridge I needed to move them for my left overs and make sure the smell didn’t start infusing again!”

[wizards-associate]

Halfway through that dialog, a fully grown dragon (fully grown as in, still Archie sized) tackles the wizard.

[wizards-associate]

This one has seen the sign. and rushes over, arms scooping up cat Archie immediately, and proceeding to scratch his ears.

An indignant "mmrrROOW" erupts with surprising volume from a regular-sized cat.

"Unhand me -- !" The familiar exclaims, but his vicious kicking quickly devolves into the reflexive leg bounces of a contented cat. "Oh, oh, wait no, yes right there, mmmMm..."

[douxie-casperan]

Douxie holds up a sign in the background with an innocent grin on his face.

It reads Scoop that cat!

Archie:

//I'm mildly keen on drawing up some AUs for Archie rather than just baseline, but I've actually never really done smth like that before and dont really have any ideas to start with ahah

Gonna just wonder about it for a while, chew on the thoughts. Wonder what other fandoms I can mix in?

[wizards-associate]

*slowly reaches out my hand for Archie to smell in hopes that he will let me pet him*

*puts a paw on your hand and slowly pushes it down*

bending laws of physics is easy for us 

[tikixreblogs]

I-

Cats refusing to follow the rules of physics and gravity is a different type of vibe

[brawltogethernow]

Cats only more or less align with the laws of physics as a courtesy to us.

7up isn’t used to giving gifts to dragons, cats, or any other member of the animal kingdom really. But they’re hardly going to skimp out just because it’s a new experience. Archie’s gift had once been a handmade scratching post shaped like a cactus. Gemstones now hung from it like a chandelier, reflecting the light handsomely. “Didn’t know how to wrap it. Also made dinner for you?” They offer up a trash can lid covered in long-gone-rancid fish, lovingly roasted and topped with unknown sauces

@trashchild-7up

The feline dragon bats at the gemstones, quite taken by the dangly and the shiny. “Oh, well, thank you very much, you...” What was this one’s name again. It was kind of moist sounding, like ‘soup’ or ‘goop’ or something. “Friendly troll.” 

Archie certainly didn’t expect this gift, and it truly was something of a work of art, if he was being... charitable. No, that was a lie, it probably was very advanced and thoughtful for something like this being and he was going to appreciate it for what it was worth! 

... He was actually still being very entertained by the dangling gems. Archie paws at it, entranced, and he doesn’t realise there’s more to come until the smell is right under his nose -- “o h uh whAT is that?!?” He completely jumps a foot in the air as the rancid stench invades his nose, utterly foul and sharp and unpleasant, fur standing on end. 

[wizards-associate]

The worst thing about pretending to be a cat?

“There’s nothing wrong with being a cat!” Archie exclaims, offended like a British man that’s been slighted over his choice of suit-fabric. 

“It really is my skin of choice,” he says, languidly spreading himself out on the windowsill and giving a big stretch. “They’re furry, quick, and nimble; good sense of smell, good hearing, good night-vision. The occasional hairball and insatiable itch aside, they’re perfect!” 

“...Well, I suppose.... except for fleas.” There’s a full-body shudder that Archie can’t quite repress. “Though that isn’t a problem exclusive to cats, and Douxie can solve it with spells. Mostly.”

📺 (~zoe-b-raiden)

📺 discuss the news from x  @zoe-b-raiden​ Archie's accompanying the lovely Zoe home after she's stopped by Benoit's Bistro, (Douxie having to stay longer, and feeling apologetic that he couldn't tag along -- thus sending along his familiar in his stead) when they walk past the electronics shop. Televisions are piled high in the storefront's windows, all playing the same video in synchrony. Audio from the news show resound from the speakers embedded in the corners -- not too loud to be overbearing, but with enough volume that anyone walking by could hear clearly. And hear the news indeed, did these two pedestrians accomplish.

"-- too much fish by the docks, and if we can't sell them out by tomorrow, they'll have to be thrown out! Come on down and get some fresh catches -- "

Archie stops short, head whiplashing towards the bright moving pictures in the shop window. A man in fishing getup talking animatedly into a newscaster's microphone.

He turns and gives Zoe a very polite smile.

"I don't suppose you have time for a detour tonight, my dear?"

[zoe-b-raiden]

Zoe sighs. “I suppose I don’t have anywhere to be, and Douxie will be back late...You’ll have to find somewhere to put these fish because I certainly don’t think the freezer will be enough.”

She follows after him, taking the next turn in the road and away from her street. “You can do the explaining for why there’ll be so much fish. At least he can’t complain about the costs of wet food.”

But she’s really fairly amused, and she doesn’t mind a little bit of a tangent. Besides, it’s not her issue in the end and she really can’t help but feel a bit of compassion for his cause. After all, if someone offered her free food, she’d be doing much the same. So long as it doesn’t get the two of them into any sort of trouble, it’s a harmless venture.

[wizards-associate]

There’s a much more visible perk in his step, an excited wiggle in his butt that is most certainly just the cat genes he was wearing and not an inherent thing he does, he promises, as Archie hears the good news. 

“Spectacular,” he says, “Don’t need to worry about Douxie, I’m sure he’ll be chuffed too.” And that wasn’t 100% a lie, at least! Zoe herself mentioned a very good point about the -- eurghk -- wet food. 

Archie leads on, hopping up and down off the top of fences, trash cans, and various boxes -- but always keeping in time with Zoe as they make their way to the fish markets. He’s almost tempted to break out of his transformation and straight up fly there, but the keyword here is almost. 

And soon enough, his patience is rewarded. The smell of the salt starts to overpower every sense, and rows of freshly caught fish appear in view. 

He’s so grateful that Zoe’s decided to tag along, because it’s not like the sellers were going to accept payment from a cat. Archie hides his glasses away, falling into the persona of a regular black cat as they approach, though he continues to not-so-subtly nudge the hedge-witch in the direction by weaving in between her legs.

“ hey, what does douxie like to eat? i want to get him some take out as thanks for helping me out with magic stuff. also what do you like? “ claire asked the dragon, watching the sleek form of cat. 

[wizards-associate]

Archie looks up from licking his paw, blinking slowly as he thinks. “For me, a filet of king salmon, smoked with hickory wood chips and roasted in an open fire oven. For my oaf of a wizard, honestly?” He pauses for dramatic affect, looking Claire straight in the eye. “Anything pumpkin spice.”
