My ADHD was playing up

So may I introduce Ab.

As in Abraham Lincoln.

#I have undiagnosed ADHD #One of my teachers pointed it out that I have the signs #So did a friend with diagnosed ADHD #But I have to wait till February to even get on a waiting list #That can be over a year or more long

if Claude is my fire emblem husband, Edelgard is my fire emblem blorbo. I love her so much and she gives me brainworms 💗

[ID: three crops of the same digital drawing of Edelgard von Hresvelg from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, post-timeskip. Edelgard is floating in front of a large projection of her two Crests, split in half: the Crest of Seiros on the left and the Crest of Flames on the right. She is holding her axe Aymr, and looking over her shoulder at the viewer with an impassive expression. end ID]

also adding onto that when people on here are like Did Nobody Pay Attention During History Class? the obvious answer is No, We Did Not Because We We’re Kids/Teenagers and Who Pays Attention In Class???

#like hmmmm okay to be fair I did have undiagnosed adhd aka can’t pay attention disease #but also I Swear nobody was actually listening in any of my classes #if they were they wouldn’t have had to come to me. a person who was also not listening. for help #this has been a post

Recovering is incredibly boring. 

Eddie’s been out of the hospital for what must have been years–but Steve assures him it is more like 9 days–and he is absolutely out of things to do. 

At first the novelty of being in the harrington mansion, an arrangement made because his fucking house was split in facking half, was enough to keep him entertained. While Steve was out volunteering like the martyr he is, Eddie would mindlessly wander from huge room to insanely more huge room. He picked up every terrifyingly expensive and useless object he could, and stared into every soulless room until he physically could not any longer (which was often, because you know he almost fucking died) 

But now, he’s run out of things to inspect without straight up snooping and he’s still fucking bored. He’s currently laying on his back, spread out an unnecessarily large bed, making every dramatic sound and sigh in his very large collection of ways to get attention in the hopes that Steve will get the hint that he’s bored. 

Eventually,he hears footsteps descending the stairs, and he hopes that Steve has finally gotten the hint and comes to rescue him. But instead that traitor picks up his keys and informs a very inconvenienced Eddie that he promised to watch the kids on their outing because their parents were worried. Then just leaves. Leaves! 

Look Eddie gets it, the world almost ended and the kids were missing for days. He understands how parents could be worried. But is the safety of their children really worth letting Eddie be bored??

He gets through about 5 minutes of silence before he gives up. Fuck his attempts at being being a polite house guest. He’s gonna snoop. He’s a curious guy, you can't blame him. 

Also, may he reiterate, he was bored. This is a very large issue. 

Slowly, he creeps up the stairs, calling out Steve’s name to be sure he’s alone. Because if he’s going to invade Steve’s privacy, he’s going to at least do them both the favour of making sure he never finds out. 

Eddie goes straight for the back of Steve’s wardrobe, because although he wants to see the juicy shit, he’s a DM, he knows he can;t go straight to the most interesting part. 

He almost immediately finds a small plastic container. He opens it to find some pretty ordinary, by Eddie’s standards, contents. A lighter, some rolling paper, and a few empty bags that definitely once contained weed. The typical things a teen would want to hide from his parents, not that Steve really has any reason to these days. 

Eddie is about to close the lid and put the box back when he spots something. In the corner of the box is a scrunched piece of paper. He grabs it and flattens it out to reveal a poster with the words “Corroded Coffin” in big bold letters at the top, with the date and time of their first show on it. They were the posters Eddie used to plaster around the school, mostly to piss off the jocks and scare the pearl-clutchers among the faculty. 

When he turns the poster to the back, he finds a note scribbled on the back. For a moment Eddie assumes that's why he’d kept the pa[er, because some girl's number was on it. That is quickly disproven when he actually reads the note which reads “Eddie = that hot senior” and below it, in larger handwriting “Go you coward!!!!” 

If Eddie suddenly feels the urge to giggle like a schoolgirl with a crush, that's his own business.

they tried to say he was illiterate, but <redacted> knew his teachers had been wrong; it was just that the books they assigned were so boring, he was never able to make it through a single paragraph before tracing the lines of wood grain in his desk until his vision blurred seemed more appealing.

if only they knew how fast he could read an interesting book - but he wasn’t about to admit where he’d spent his day, not when there was a field that still needed plowing!

Just sitting here thinking about my 8th birthday when my dad got me a fairy book as a gift and I got so upset that I threw it against the wall and wouldn't stop crying until he got me the gift I actually wanted which was a coin counting machine - note I had no coins to put in the coin counting machine I just thought it looked so cool

#i was very reject feminity as a child #that on top of my undiagnosed adhd and dyslexia #meant a pink sparkly book about fairys was the worst thing you could have possibly got me #but yeah thinking about this now #bc im actually sitting here reading the illiad for fun #oh how times change #also children are weird #anybody else ask for weird things as kids or was it just me

Having late-diagnosed adhd is weird.

(CW internalized ableism)

Realizing that what I always thought was a “normal” source for motivation was really just shame, guilt, fear, self-judgment and a whole lot of “shoulding” (apart from the rare hyperfocus where the motivation was actually my own)

What I thought was “self-discipline” was just constant self-berating and guilt for being so “bad” at it when other people seemed to pick it up so easily

I always felt so ashamed whenever someone credited their success to their parents raising them to have a great work ethic. How come *I* didn’t turn out the same way, when my dad spent most of his waking moments working to provide for us? How did that not teach me a great work ethic?

Even if no one said it to my face, I internalized deeply the notion preached in every corner of society that people who aren’t self-disciplined are lazy and don’t actually care

I never thought I had adhd because I didn’t fit the stereotypical symptom profile. And I believed so deeply that I just had to “work harder” even though I was mentally deteriorating from how hard I actually was working. But that’s normal for everyone, right?

And now that I’ve deconstructed a lot of this shame and guilt (after years and years of therapy that I’ve been lucky to have), I see it as it is and have stopped using these toxic things to motivate me. And I’m realizing just how little “natural” motivation I actually have. Any motivation I do get is sporadic, for super random things, never consistent and not usually for “productive” tasks.

I’ve finally come to the place where I don’t feel even slightly opposed to trying out adhd medication either. But it has come at the *very* opportune time when I’m unemployed, searching for a job (with the aforementioned lack of motivation in a shit job market), and uninsured.

[11052023] Bot Practice: V1

I really wanna get into drawing robots so I can draw my characters but lack experience. Decided the best way to go about it is to draw fanart of existing bots so I can learn like, what everyone else does. Lol

First bot to my mind was V1. I've drawn him before but never really drew with the intention of learning. Went ahead and took the first image I found and heavily ref'd it as I lazily sketched, allowing myself to make mistakes because hey, here to learn, not stress over perfect details.

_ Art // myself, @kqltlc V1 // ULTRAKILL (New Blood Interactive) Don't use in anyway whatsoever, thnx

#kqltlc #my art #digital art #digitalart #krita #krita art #krita drawing #fanart #ultrakill fanart #ultrakill #v1 #v1 ultrakill #ultrakill v1 #I know v1 doesnt have a gender but I default to he/him pronouns bc Im gae as fuck and read it as male #prob doesnt help the image I refd reads more as male than feral gremlin twig with a gun snrk #on that note I need to get my undiagnosed adhd ass to catch up #I only got as far as the end of act 1 despite loving the game and story so so much LMAO #...I say as I also wanna draw more bots #and my friends are trying to get me to play minecraft with them #I wanna do alllll the thiinnngggssss

Guess who might have undiagnosed ADHD?

Can I get a whoop whoop?

#I shit you not within like ten minutes of my first session she was like #“have you ever considered that you might have adhd” #I'm like “yeah but don't you need to be like hyperactive and fidgety to have adhd?” #yeah so apparently inattentive adhd is a thing which would explain #...not everything but quite a bit #that or I might have undiagnosed anxiety #or both #yay #honestly idc I just need my life together

there's something ive noticed while reading the epilogues that i find really interesting. im not sure if this makes sense, but each ranger has a distinct voice that goes with their internal monologue. im going with chen and ortega for my examples since theyre just the easiest to notice but

with chen, his thought process tends to be more clipped. its more curt and to the point, opting more for shorter, simple sentences

meanwhile ortegas thoughts tend to be very,,,,i forgot the actual phrase im searching for, but long-winded. thoughts will wander and then get pulled back into focus at very random intervals, sometimes the sentences will be short, sometimes long, and there are a lot of run-ons and tangents as the thoughts crop up

it just adds that much more to their character yk? chen's inner monologue feels blunt and succint. there's no point beating around the bush with him. he feels more careful. and yeah, ofc ortegas thoughts go just as fast as their mouth. there's no time to breathe, things go a million miles a minute for them. looking at their thought process, its really easy to understand how they get so antsy so easily. idk its just. super fun to compare them and see how they think affects their character

#fhr #chen #ortega #should i tag this w the other rangers #idk #if anybody wants to add this with their own observations about herald and argents(or any other characters) internal voice #please feel free im really interested how far this extends #i just couldnt find much thats distinct about argent and herald lmfao #alternatively #more evidence for ortega having undiagnosed adhd being soft canon
