Stevo is trying to straight up bore Pearl into her first nap ever, but mostly I just really love the quiet moment where Amethyst (joining Garnet as a big fakey faker only pretending to be sleeping!) just quietly rolls her eyes at Steven’s rambling. It’s all just so tranquil and atmospheric, just like chefs kiss animation here in this episode about lying quietly on the floor.

Omg guys, omg, I did, I finally cleaned my room 🥺
It's so silly, I know, but I'm always so happy when I'm able to complete tasks because I either procrastinate them until the last time or I distract myself and can't finish during the day. And today I even got to have lunch!! Most of the times I try to focus in concluding my chores I simply forget to eat and drink water, then I pass really bad due to being starving and dehydrated :c
Having both ADHD and OCD can be such a monstrosity when it's comes to being functional bc OCD makes up the craziest rules that you simply have to follow or else something bad will happen to you. And ADHD takes all the motivation and energy away, besides it's so hard to focus on finishing tasks, specifically when they aren't interesting enough to keep you on them. My mind is so hyperactive rn so I really dunno if this made much sense 😅 but yeah, I'm so happy 🥹

god one of the worst things I think with chronic headaches is the different range of abilities you have depending on how painful the hurt is and/or what TYPE of hurt it is. I particularly hate the ones that effect my vision, because with sunglasses and a podcast distraction I can drive anywhere I want for errands (even if it will be in pain, I am still physically able to do so with limitations), however what I can not do is look at a TV or laptop screen for the life of me. so any online coursework that I am obliged to do and that has a deadline, I can barely accomplish :))

hi fellow dyslexics! (or anyone else who may need this!) 🦇 if you have a hard time reading the dracula daily emails, or even the book, you should definitely check out this podcast. it functions the same way as the emails: telling the story in chronological order. it looks like they’ve restarted the uploads to go along with this year! it has lovely voice acting + sound design. 💌

Poll adventure (paventure? lol) Day 10: read the small story tidbit below the poll for more details, OR just vote based on initial impression
(✦ see past poll results + further information HERE (link) ✦)
Yesterday's poll decided that The Adventurer should join the travelers on the larger river boat for a short lunch ...
~
"Before he even fully musters the courage to shout a 'hello', the large group on the boat initiates contact first, gleefully waving at him, whooping and shouting as they near his tiny raft in the water. Apparently, some of them were betting over whether they'd actually find any other travelers out on the river today.. He fumbles over his words a bit, as always, but somehow manages to successfully get himself invited onto their boat for a quick lunch..
After safely securing his raft to the side of the boat with some spare rope, he climbs aboard, stumbling into the excitement of some sort of celebration. A few of them explain that they're traveling for 'kahesallei', an old elven holiday recently re-popularized in some of the larger cities nearby. Whatever it's true meaning and origins used to be, the current significance (at least to those within the city walls) seems to just be mindless feasting, drinking, and gaudy decor. Most of the traveling group are strangers to each other, only brought together by catching a ride on the same tour/party boat, but the mood is light, quite friendly between them, and perhaps a bit drunk.
While the boat itself is relatively plain wood, it's been strewn with gold and orange banners, flags, shimmery tassels, beads, and bushels of dark green ivy braided with fresh herbs and wildflowers. There are flat round tables of food and drink, plenty of cushions to lounge on, and one random guy perched precariously on the edge railing of the boat, gently strumming a lute for background music..
The elderly ship captain hobbles over to The Adventurer, sternly explaining that, no matter what the 'silly' passengers say, he's only allowed to stay for an hour because he didn't pay for a boat ride ticket, and thus really shouldn't even be allowed on board. By the time The Adventurer has mentally processed this information, the captain has already returned to his little steering room, slamming the door shut with a displeased grunt.. It probably wouldn't be a good idea to confront him or question the rules...... But! Hey, at least he has one hour at the party.. How should he spend his time? "

Additional Information
the adventurer's current main goal: follow his map to reach the abandoned castle ruins and see the rare animal specialist about the mysterious egg he has

Me: *comes home for 2 weeks at the end of the semester bc I have so damn many things to do I couldn't manage to come down earlier*
Me: *spends the first week dying of term paper stress*
Me: *home alone with my siblings for the second week, doing my absolute most to a) stop the decent into chaos, and b) actually spend time with my siblings who I haven't seen since NEW YEARS*
Sibling 1: *leaves town bc they have Uni stuff*
Sibling 2: *sleeps til 11 am, spends the night at a friend's house when we wanted to watch a movie, can't be trusted to walk the elderly dog before she starts pissing on the carpet, responds to being asked to help out with [insert crucial house maintenance task or crucial animal welfare task] with "no, I don't want to", procrastinates cooking so hard when it's their turn we don't eat for around 8 hours uninterrupted, almost causes a really dangerous accident bc they didn't want to watch the dog while sibling 3 and I were working with the horse*
Sibling 3: *brings their best friend literally everywhere I really really wish I was joking when I say I have seen more of him all week than of sibling 2, plans squad game nights on mutually agreed upon family movie night and doesn't even tell me and invites best friend, who isn't even participating, to our home for the duration of said squad game night*
Me: *probably has gluten stomach due to the fact that the kitchen has not been cleaned all week*
Me: *literally moved a really important doctor's appointment on extremely short notice bc I didn't want to leave Sunday*
Me: *has not had a single friend over bc I wanted to spend time with my siblings*
Also me: *remembers why I never stay at home very long to begin with*

ok . bedtime sry. sry. aughhh fml i wish i had a normal brain if i did i would say things like I had a really great time today :] id love to talk more :] i am a real person i am not a mask thenidentity of connor is not a role i have to force myself to fill and that i constantly feel im failing to play convincingly. it is not a task for me to exist as a real person with emotions and thiughts and interests and hobbies because i am like that naturally it comes naturally. i am a person named connor and im a fully realized person and i control my emotions (which are extant and which i can easily identify and work to copenwoth) and have healthy boundaries and feelings about relationships and sex and i dont destroy my entire identity in order to gain favor with people. i can handle being 'rejected' and 'disliked' easily and this doesnt make me spiral. I am normal,
