but your honour thats my emotional support word i overuse

AuDHD is so funny sometimes like what do you mean my hyperfixations/special interests will last for years on end or possibly forever but they will cycle out every month or two with absolutely no transitional period or warning. like i will think about the same topic every day obsessively for 46 days in a row and on the 47th day with no visible cause adhd brain goes "ok! bored of that now" and autism brain goes "dw i got something queued up for ya" and i blast into full blown obsession on some other topic whose mental file folders haven't opened in 9 months. brain's out here treating hyperfixations like a crop rotation. once the dopamine runs out it cycles in another one but once something's in the rotation it never ever leaves. last summer we brought in one from when i was 11. it's so funny to me but frustrating too bc like. i cannot stress enough my inability to predict or control this. or how completely abrupt and random it can be

Not a writer, but an avid reader wanting to add my two piece

I wholeheartedly believe that if it kills you to hurt your own character, it will hurt the readers that much more

People will tell you the opposite of this, but fuck keeping your characters at an emotional distance so you won't hesitate to do brutal things to them. Whether or not the book itself is good or bad as a whole, you've got to love your characters, and I'll always rather read a bad book from a writer who clearly loves the characters they write about, than a fine book by an author who's smug about being indifferent to them. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be putting your characters in situations and through horrible torments. It should be more of a "my son loved your drawing so much that he ate it" sort of thing.

You should love your characters the way a bored labrador loves their favourite human's shoes. Nothing is more fun to chew to pieces.

"nobody likes a complainer" you say, like an idiot, as if thriving ecosystems of friendships aren't blossoming every day based solely on people vocally disliking the same things in similar ways

You CAN, however, pry my car keys, my phone, my wallet, and the 600 straw wrappers I carry around in my pockets from my cold, dead hands

Good luck trying to pry the nd worm from my brain. It's too busy repeating the same line from an abba song I dont know the words to

yesterday i rolled a joint and immediately lost it and my only comfort has been imagining it traveling chef boyardee style down the stairs and across the walkways to a stoner in greater need than myself
