Re: being ADHD and breaking large tasks into molecule-sized actions,
there’s something I used to do and should probably start doing again. See, I can look around at a wreck of a room and not “see” individual objects. It all just looks like a painted stage backdrop to me, or a hidden-object game background. Maybe a couple of objects really stand out (like the one door in a bland flat room that a cartoon character is going to open), but I just get overwhelmed by the concept of THINGS. And that’s why I can’t start cleaning. Once an object leaves my hand and drops to the floor or lands on a chair, it is now Landscape.
So when I was REALLY desperate to clean, maybe on a specific time crunch (like the time there was a hole in my ceiling and people were going to ENTER MY HALLOWED ABODE to fix it), I would stand in the center of the room. And I would start talking to myself. Out loud. “WHAT IS ONE THING YOU CAN DO. PICK ONE THING. FIND A THING. YOU CAN DO IT. DO IT!! COME ONNNNN!!,” I would end up urging myself, much in the tone of Ellen Ripley screaming at an airlock not closing fast enough. And finally, I would spot something like a mostly empty box of crackers from seven months ago. “THROW IT AWAY. DO IT. GOOD, YOU DID IT!!”
That tiny spark of dopamine would help me loosen up; there would be less browbeating from that point. “Okay! What next! What can we do! LOOK IT’S AN EMPTY GIFT BAG” but I really want to save that “NOPE GOTTA GO THERE IT GOES.” You’re kind of play-acting a person who has executive functions at that point. But the Accomplishment Dopamine starts building. And pretty soon I would be bustling around picking up Things of my own volition. If I started balking again, I would keep asking myself, “What is the tiniest thing I can do next? Come on, you’re doing great, just go get the Box and keep going.”
See, I would also find a box of some kind, be it a storage container or the last delivery box I (obviously) didn’t throw away, and that would become the I Don’t Know Box. I achieved a lot of spare-room deep-cleaning this way. A key chain. Three stray game pieces. A perfectly good pad of Post-Its. An old coin purse. Mail I haven’t opened yet and probably never will. Where do they go? Fuck if I know, but that’s not my problem right now. Off you go into the IDK Box. Which can be shoved into some quiet corner to be konmari'd later. You either 1) know where an object lives, 2) you know it goes into the trash, or 3) you don’t know, and you make those three options as quick to enact as possible.
You can apply this to just about any hellaciously complex ordeal—talking aloud to force yourself to answer, which then becomes guiding yourself to answer, which then snowballs into getting into the flow of doing things (until you run out of function spoons for the day). “LOOK AT THE EMAIL. LOOK AT IT. ANSWER THE EMAIL. GOOD. MAKE THE PHONE CALL” noooo I hate the phone call “COME ONNNNNN!!!!” aaaaaaaa “YAY WE DID THE PHONE CALL.” And I really don't do this as often as I should, because it does actually work (for me). I know not everyone can do it--including me, much of the time—but it's an idea to add to the toolbox.

essek and caleb get married and adopt children and live beautiful domestic lives until caleb peacefully dies in his sleep of old age and essek smiles wistfully at his grave for years to come WRONG caleb dumps essek when he turns 70 but essek still like lives in his house and shit it’s a very ineffectual breakup until caleb eventually keels over at the tender age of 86 bc he is not a hardy man let’s be honest. essek kills himself before the body is cold because he has special mental illnesses that this world has never seen and never will again. don’t be boring! play in the space with me!

Actually, every author who ever wrote angsty "Zhongli used and betrayed me, I'm so sad" Childe, while very conveniently forgetting that Childe used Zhongli too, owes me an apology.

That finale, guys, so good. The convergence of all these key voices in Andor's life, speaking to him thru the traces they left behind in him, for him:
Clem's
Tumblr media
Nemik's
Tumblr media
Marva's
Tumblr media
And they all give the final push for Andor to take the plunge at the end of his own road

Fucking loved it.

See. In theory I would looovee to find other people who ship with antօn.blαst/bαll characters. But I can't actively seek them out bc I'm way too weird about sharing Anton rn. And basically none of the others (except Annie) have the same level of development/prevalence, so probably nobody is shipping with them anyway. And also obviously the new game isn't out yet.
But ooohh you all wanna ship with the others so badddd ooohh ꩜꩜꩜꩜꩜꩜꩜ (<- my hypnosis beam)

I know I've already associated this with two other ships that I like, but Strange Sight from the Tinkerbell Movies ost is such a Wenclair song
