In true ADHD fashion, we finished the bathroom renovation 24 hours before visitors come to stay for a week. It's still not entirely done. I need to go around the room and clean up the edges when I have time, but I have neither the steadiness of hand nor the mental capacity for that right now. I did get the trim done, though. So yay. Victory.

I've since spent the last 16 hours cleaning my entire house from top to bottom to get rid of the construction debris and dust that's been plaguing us for almost 6+ weeks.

Guest rooms are all done (mine and Mothman's offices. Going to be weird not having access to my desktop for 10 days).

The bathroom is mostly clean. I just have to give Holly a bath because she's got a crunchy beard situation going on, then wipe the tub down of whatever horrors fall out of said doggy beard.

The kitchen is truly disgusting, from everyone carting everything out to the dumpster from the bathroom renovation. I'd be half tempted to take a magic erase to it if I didn't think the whole floor would vanish. Time to test the limits of my ten year old steam mop.

The living room needs vacuuming. Again.

Our bedroom looks like a bomb went off. There's just stuff everywhere. Not to mention a shit ton of laundry. I plan to shove it all in the machine before we go to bed so I can then shove it in the dryer over breakfast before we head to the grocery store in the morning and then pick my friends up from the airport.

I think... I think that's it. I say. Like I'm not swaying slightly.

Maybe I should prioritize our bedroom. Maybe get Mothman to bath the Moppet. Yeah. Plan. All right, good talk Tumblr.

Having ADHD does not mean what people think it means. It’s so exhausting having to explain that all the time

The Stages of Hunger, brought to you me by ADHD:

Stage 1: not hungry (aka snacktime)

Stage 2: hungry but I haven't noticed it yet

Stage 3: oh shit I'm hungry (30 min to act or else)

Stage 4: oh shit I'm hungry (but food is disgusting)

Stage 5: why am I so tired, it's only 6pm?

Stage 6: Pain.

On ADHD

ADHD is all about momentum. If someone with ADHD is excited/upset/any strong emotion, they can easily forget WHAT caused those emotions- but just because they don't remember WHY they're feeling something, doesn't mean those feelings will just vanish.

Let me put it to you this way; Imagine a person driving a car. They know exactly where they want to go. Both of their hands are on the wheel and they know exactly how to drive. It's something they do all the time with no problem. That person does not have ADHD. We'll call them NT (neurotypical).

Now, imagine another person in another car. They know exactly where they want to go. Both of their hands are on the wheel and they know exactly how to drive. This person has ADHD.

They are both going to the same place, on the same route, with the same obstacles in front of them. They start exactly the same in every way. But imagine that as soon as both people start their journey, the ADHDer's arms just suddenly vanish. No hands to steer the wheel. But they're still barreling forward at full speed with no sign of stopping. They slam their face onto the steering wheel, trying to stay on course the best they can. Instead of slowing down, they have now picked up even more speed. And they're now able to crash their way through every obstacle in their path. This desperate attempt at staying on course with no decent way to steer is plowing them through every obstacle. And even though they're keeping up with the NT, the NT never lost their arms and is easily avoiding every obstacle. And the NT assumes that simply because the ADHDer is keeping up, that there's no problem at all. In fact, they might even think that the ADHDer's "superpower" looks fun. But as they continue on their course, the ADHDer is getting more and more banged up with every obstacle they crash through. And, after a while…. They finally lose momentum. And in the span of a few seconds, the ADHDer goes from "easily" making their way through everything to being near or almost near paralysis. We call this Burnout.

People with ADHD have grown accustomed to the fact that at random moments of their life -without so much as a warning- their arms will suddenly vanish. And because NT's think that they're fine just because the ADHDers are keeping up, they never notice that we're just BARELY keeping up and we're destroying ourselves to get there.

It's not that ADHDers don't know how to slow down -although that in itself is a massive obstacle- when an ADHDer's arms vanish, they pick up speed, attempting to keep up with everyone else. Which -more often than not- is painful, terrifying, desperate, and hurting us.

I know I went a little off-course with this explanation, but my arms fell off halfway through. Basically, ADHDers are always intense because even though we forget things all the time, our emotions don't vanish. We're all screaming and crying while driving with our faces, down a course that's on fire, so please have patience. We're trying our best to keep up.

One of my favorite teachers from the middle school was subbing here at the high school (I didn't get to actually have her class but we got to catch up after school), she's on the older side and for some reason like everyone hated her?? I never got why but I love ranting to her about my characters and their lore because she's an English teacher and LOVES creative writing and ESPECIALLY THE DARK + HORROR STUFF SO SHE ACTUALLY HAS AN APPRECIATION FOR WHAT I WRITE!!

Anyways, when we caught up we were interrupted by my mom since she's a paraprofessional there and after some blah blah blahs, SHE SAID I WAS ONE OF HER FAVORITE PEOPLE TOO AND I WAS SO HAPPY AND AAAAASGSHGSH

I love her sm I don't care if people didn't like how she was <3

super missing Achievement Hunter rn

I’m not totally sure what’s going to happen w/ RT shutting down but I hope the videos on Achievement Hunter’s channel stay up or we as a community are able to preserve them

even tho AH is no more, I think it’d be nice to still be able to come back and watch their videos bc I (and im sure lots of other people) still love coming back and watching some of their older videos and what not to cheer me up when I’m having a really bad day

bc despite the fact that I stopped watch AH a while before they split up/went into other things, I’ve still been watching them since middle school and have always taken joy from their content

Thank you to everyone in Achivement Hunter for bringing me (and plenty of others) joy and comfort and laughter from my preteens all the way to my fresh age of 21 <3

sorry, this was a bit of a ramble but my adhd is going nuts and my mental health is low and I really miss AH

Genji head cannons number I already forgot

1.

Unless Genji is actively in ninja mode, in the mindset of controlling every single movement he does and being aware of everything happening around him, he can be incredibly clumsy.

Like accidentally dropping something, if he's not dodging then getting nailed on the side of the head with a snowball, tripping over himself, bumping his hip off the corner of a counter, falling off of things constantly (this one would happen a lot more considering the other head cannon of him unintentionally always just perching on things like a bird like the back of the couch), etc. With a prime example of this being the time kiriko retales about him tripping over his sword in training and just (how I imagine atleast) completely and totally faceplanting

So unless he is actively in the zone and the mindset, you would hardly know he has insane reaction time, to move really quickly, can dodging deflect like no one's business, or just move in general at incredible speed. If the adrenaline isn't pumping, you wouldn't be able to tell at first glance he was a ninja assassin trained from birth. He's just zoned out half of the time, or he's just so intently focusing on listening to someone that he's unaware of everything else around him.

Also on multiple occasions he would do the thing of accidentally dropping his phone and in the process of trying to catch it accidentally slaps it into a wall instead of the carpeted floor it would have landed on.

2.

Genji is really intelligent, if he had gone to normal school, like Angela he would have been considered a prodigy. He was the one who built his collapsible shurikens and original wearable shuriken deploying gauntlet, he couldn't use technically terms, or even really explain how he did it but he could show it / draw it out. Drawing detailed diagrams explaining his thought prosses, but not really able to put into words his explanation for each part or how he figured out how to get it to work.

He has a deep understanding of mechanics and some robotics even before becoming a cyborg. This knowledge only grew once he became a cyborg and drying his travels had to repair himself. And in his time during black watch and OverWatch before the fall, he learned even more from talking with Angela, torb and other members of the cybernetics team.

And even though he's incredibly smart and eventually incredibly wise. He can come off as somewhat dimwitted, with him not picking up on jokes/sarcasm, being amazed by the smallest things, or not understanding things others would think is obvious.

He comes off as a trained killer assassin who knows about fighting and combat, and other things nessessary for being a ninja. But outside of that specific area he wouldn't know much.

But naturality when you get to know him, he's incredibly knowledgeable on a lot of things, and academically really gifted as well. (Maybe not as much in geometry as compared to Hanzo anyways lol) if it came down to it he could do really complicated equations with ease or understand a lot of science-based subjects, but this would mainly show through his knowledge on dinosaurs if he got to talk about it. Like if someone were to mess up a time period you would politely correct them and then quickly and efficiently inform them about all the intricacies and specific details about the differences between the time periods and what dinosaurs were in those periods and the climates during each period and more.

This also shows through the conversations getting Angela would have on base during the night, has Angela explained all of her medical research Genji would listen intently and ask relevant questions, and is genuinely very interested in learning more. This is helped person being a quick learner and can be able to pick up concepts he's interested in really quickly. Maybe even going as far to do his own research in between their conversations so he could come back with more topics for them to discuss and he could ask questions on. Similarly, he can be incredibly witty and sarcastic (even if he doesn't pick up on sarcasm himself sometimes), just overall be a totally smartass, which possibly played abit in the clan elders wanting him killed aside from the "liability" thing.

Long short Genji gives off himbo energy but is in fact very smart, dumbass yes, but also smart(ass) ...also his version of common sense it's incredibly different due to his up bringing which also causes half of his issues

#overwatch #genji #overwatch 2 #genji shimada #genji headcanons #himbo #smartass #hes just a little dude #hes a silly little guy #adhd rambling #genji adhd #dumbass #clumsy #him and cole during blackwatch would have been the scary kind of dumbasses #because they are not only dumbasses but smart dumbasses #smart in their own ways but smart none the less #mercy #angela ziegler #gency

This one is for my ✨️ p o l y g l o t s✨️

So I'm washing the dishes and my mind wanders as it always does and it starts to think of a very specific TikTok where a guy who speaks English and Japanese talks about how his voice is higher with English but deeper with Japanese. (And now I'm thinking of the Spanish and English speaker who said basically the same thing but Spanish is higher).

HEAR ME OUT!!

From my experience as a Music minor focusing on singing, I learned that basically if you wanna sing higher you gotta train your vocal cords to be tighter, while if you wanna sing lower you need to learn to loosen your vocal cords.

What does this have to do with languages?

WELL

Have you have every noticed in English that when vowels are spoken your mouth opens more and when consonants (I think that's how it's spelled) your mouth generally closes? Did you know that your vocal cords are doing the opposite? So when your mouth does closed sounds the back opens and vice versa.

Do you see where I'm getting yet?

English has various accents that put more focus on changing the pronunciation of vowels and common consonants like H. The common accent taught for English to non English speakers is usually British English. So using that as a basis and comparing it to let's say the Tokyo Standardized Japanese. English is very vowel heavy and Japanese is very consonant heavy.

Now put that together.

More consonants = more closed sound = more open cords = deeper sound

More vowels = more open sound = more closed cords = higher sound

This isn't taking into account your biological base for your voice or self vocal manipulation. This is purely a language difference and I found it interesting and I'm too camera shy to respond with it on a TikTok but it's my theory from what I've witnessed and I'm very curious now of other languages vocal tonalities and IPA sound phonics in determining pitch.... Korean would do the same thing as Japanese I'm now realizing.... Spanish is more frequency as is Chinese given how easily words flow into each other... I'm gonna be up all night

ok so audhd rant/asking for advice

we had a psychologicist come to the class to explain autism and adhd today. the reason why is bc i have faced a lot of discrimination, ableism and bullying from my peers bc of my disorders. my teachers felt we should all learn what the words mean and why they should never be used as insults, and how that can affect someone, which is a nice sentiment.

the person they picked was recommended by my mother, which should've been my first warning sign, bc try as she might my mother does not understand the autistic community. she trusts the professionals which is good bc im not a doctor and they're qualified, i get it; but also i dont fucking trust professionals to understand me because not once did my doctors help me understand when i was diagnosed. i asked to meet her before she came to the school, but my mom insisted she was great so i held back and tried to be hopeful, because even if a lot of my experience with professionals has been negative doesn't mean they're all bad and ignorant

anyways, she was exactly like every other psychologist ever and explained everything in the most basic way ive even seen. she literally sounded like the people who explained my diagnoses to me when i got them at age 11 and those mf's were literally useless. it took me years to actually understand what my disorder meant and i only figured it out by talking to other people with autism and adhd instead of reading shit by professionals and autism moms. the way we are portrayed by psychiatrists is not my experience at all and they often use outdated language and speak in very broad terms and don't bring up any of the things that i find important. i know not everyone with adhd and autism is the same but i genuinely cannot relate to the way they talk about us at all. like, this psychiatrist didn't even mention executive dysfunction and kept talking about how it "isn't an excuse" and fucking everyone agreed.

i feel like almost an anti-vaxxer, claiming i know better than doctors, so i genuinely do try to understand and accept doctors but i just cant fucking stand it. am i wrong for thinking she's wrong? like she has a degree, but she also doesn't seem to understand me and idk if im just a weird outlier even in my neurodivergence or if im right and she doesn't truly understand. like im not a doctor, im just a person who has these disorders but i genuinely feel misrepresented and like all these explanations are for other people to understand that they have to put up with me. i feel infantilised and really fucking bummed. like, i knew she wasn't gonna be perfect bc she isn't actually in the community but the level of generalization and misinformation was so disappointing

i feel fucking crazy. cause who am i to disagree with her when she's the professional, yk?? im no one. they won't listen to me. my classmates can't empathize with me like they do each other, and so many of them think they get it bc they're white teenage boys with adhd that are low support(and im happy for them that they feel good about it!! genuinely! and not saying they aren't valid, but in my experience many of them tend to unknowingly invalidate other people with the disorder who are different than them/have higher support needs) and can't seem to understand that other people have different experiences and struggles with the same disorder. i also live in a very conservative city, and even if the school is more liberal, we are still very high in MUF(the moderate party's youth) and you can tell because everyone i know is either apolitical or conservative, except me and the three leftists. it's a hostile environment, and i feel like im rambling but whatever. i needed to get it off my chest

I was looking over some things I had asked others and my ADHD got to thinking without my consent but made me laugh.

Ok so @maesonc-artistic-adventures made art of what Warriors’ dragon armor would look like and I commented about Wild stealing that outfit. Fast forward, I saw my ask for @ask-the-nine-links for Halloween that involves art from @dfanart and my mind went spinning.

I just realized I mentioned 3 people. Oh well.

Anyways I headcanon that Cia (no she’s not dead, yet) is punished for her actions (like she should) and she can’t teleport directly into the castle. In fact, there’s only one place where she is able to teleport to by the castle before she can go in if she has business. That place? The stables.

Since I also headcanon Epona being severely protective of Warriors and prefers crushing things with her hooves, Cia is in for a world of pain every time she visits. Now you’re probably wondering ‘well couldn’t Epona accidentally kill her?’ No, because I headcanon (i’m using that word a lot in this post) that Cia and Lana can’t be killed normally. Also one can’t not be killed without killing the other. That’s why she hasn’t been executed yet.

Anyways my mind went to Wild coming upon her after she got trampled again and thinking she was dead, steals her clothes right off her body. Because you cannot tell me he would not do that. Wild goes “She’s dead, she doesn’t need these anymore.”

Wild would totally do that and probably change into her clothes right there before going back his brothers. Only to be told she’s not dead, just severely unconscious. He still would not be giving back her clothes though.

#adhd rambling #linked universe #hyrule warriors #lu wild #lu warriors #loz epona #hw cia #cia gets what she deserves #wild would steal clothes off a dead body if they looked pretty enough #epona tramples people who hurt her master #epona is a good girl #stealing clothes up a dead body is OK if the clothes are pretty

Getting upset by stuff is weirddd, like I'm usually very chill with everything, but now it's like. Last year my friends making jokes abt my intelligence was banter, and their concerns about my sensory issues was super considerate. But now I have this one teacher that talks down to me all the time, and suddenly the jabs at how slow my brain is hurt, and the constant double checking and 'are you sure' when I do anything feels like a lack of trust. And now it's everything- the teacher that talks too slowly, someone misunderstanding what I want to say, people interrupting me, the shock when i say im 17, a funny joke about my future driving abilities- everything just hits a nerve, even when it shouldn't.

Like. Wow, emotions.

I hate it when I'm having a normal conversation that's for once focusing on the other person and then I somehow ALWAYS manage to bring up my special interest (my OC universe and it's multiple AUs) AND BECOME THE CENTER OF THE CONVERSATION, IF IT'S OVER TEXT THEN MY MESSAGES WILL BECOME SCROLLABLE AND THEN IT'S TOO LATE BEFORE I REALIZE "CRAP THIS WAS ABOUT YOU AND YOUR OCS I AM SO SORRY I BROUGHT MY OCS UP FOR THE 14TH TIME TODAY"
