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

EDIT: seems this is more common among ND people than i thought, and probably not limited to AuDHD specifically :] i was just describing my own experiences and didn't expect this post to blow up, so don't take me for an authority, but i'm glad it resonated with so many of y'all

#actually adhd #actually autistic #audhd #aphelion.txt #ik 'adhd brain' vs 'autism brain' is a gross oversimplification especially given how much overlap there can be #but it at least helps me conceptualize wtf is going on in my head when i do this lol #and yeah i'm mostly referring to fandoms in this post but it can happen w more 'Traditional' special interests too #like my linguistics special interest which hasn't popped up in a couple years now but whenever it does #i will fill literal notebooks while studying 4 languages at once and simultaneously inventing a conlang #and then i'll be like Ok that was fun! and several months later im deleting like. 2gb of textbooks off my iphone to make room for an update #And sometimes yeah there is a precipitating event like 'Oh something new happened in X fandom with my blorbo!' but sometimes it's like #yeah. no. idk either. switch got flipped in my brain and X no longer sparks joy. only Y rn. how come it's Y? yeah idk i also wish i knew #i don't think any of this is actually an uncommon experience for people with these types of neurodivergencies it's just.#the severity of abruptness and TOTALITY of the switch that makes me feel like a weirdo sometimes lol #like I'M getting mental whiplash from this sometimes. idk how y'all are still following my blog

Kinda need the whole family being tired as fuck from Tim's love stories and drama, so they send him away every time he finds a new crush.

Tim, struggling on how to confess to Kon: Hey, Dick, can you give me a dating advice? Dick: Oh, sure Dick, beaming cluelessly: Are you back with Steph? Tim: Oh no, I- Dick: Oh, right, sorry! Bart, right? Tim, embarrassed: No, I was- Dick: Omg, sorry, it was, uh, Bern? Tim: You know what... Forget it. Tim: *leaves* Dick, sighing in relief: Works every time. I hate giving dating advices.

Tim: Steph, can I have a dating advice? Steph, unimpressed: Are you cheating on someone again? Tim: ...Whatever.

Tim: Bruce- Bruce, hopeful: Yeah? Need help with something? Tim, thinking twice: ...Uh, actually no. Bruce: :(

Tim, stopping in front of Damian's door, unsure: ... Damian, right through the closed door: Drake. Spare us both. Tim: *groan*

Tim: So, I have this situation... Duke: Wait, I'll put the voice message recording, I need to send this to Cass, while she is on the mission Tim: Oh my god, MY LIFE IS NOT EVEN THAT MESSY! FORGET IT.

Tim, seething through his teeth on Jason's doorstep: You are my last hope. I am not even kidding. Jason: Woah. What happened to Alfie? Tim, with his eye twitching: He started to reminisce about his romance with Lizzie. Like, Queen Elizabeth. Lizzie. I can't listen to this any more. I need fucking advice. How to confess to Kon. Jason, who constantly writes fanfiction, but since his love life is non-existent at this point, uses his family's messy dating histories as an inspiration and references: ...Okay. Tim, gagged: Seriously? Jason: Yeah. Just work with me. What we are working with? Bridgerton ass romance? Miss Austen type of flair? Bronte's kind of insanity? Tim, sniffling: tHanK yOu

#I know we love it when Dick is being helpful but I love the most when he is acting like typical annoyed big sis in canon #like it is his circus his monkey and he is going to use an opportunity to ignore this if he can and rant about it to his friends instead #Tim a few months in relationship w Kon later: hey what are you reading #Kon (sobbing): I just read the most heart-breaking fic about SuperBoy/Red Robin and it is SO canon I CAN'T #Tim: hmmmm.... what is the username #Kon: oh it is my fav author! denydeposebatman #Tim: oh my fucking god Jason #Tim (seconds after bc he remembers reading Jason's fics when he was Robin and they were GOOD): gimme #tim drake #jason todd #red hood #batman #dcu #dcu comics #dc universe #batfamily #bruce wayne #batfam #dick grayson #stephanie brown #duke thomas #cassandra cain #damian wayne #alfred pennyworth #timkon #kon el kent

I need a fic where robin!jason is the only one to notice baby stalker tim while they’re out on their patrols and it gets to the point where he’ll occasionally address him when he’s alone & around the others and they think he’s low-key going insane

fast forward a couple years and tim refers to something he saw while he was stalking batman and robin and jason’s head just WHIPS towards bruce and starts screeching “I TOLD YOU I WASN’T HALLUCINATING THE TINY STALKER CHILD FOLLOWING US B!! I FUCKING TOLD YOU I-“ and he has to be dragged out of the room by nightwing, still loudly proclaiming his vindication while tim and the others just watch on with the pikachu meme face

#i can see vison in my head pls tell me y’all can too #jason is dramatic enough that he wouldn’t let this go for MONTHS #dc #batman #jason todd #dick grayson #bruce wayne #batfam #tim drake #robin #red hood #red robin

don't think I'm not still obsessing over 7-12

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 part 12 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 part 12 spoilers #sorry it's even scribblier than usual :') hopefully my chickenscratch is legible #anyway come here and join me in the corner where we go to be embarrassing about anime characters #just. between riddle and trey's dreams i've been thinking a lot about how #trey knew this kid for like two months when he was nine and then never really got over him or how their friendship ended #which. honestly. understandable given the circumstances #and then when they finally met again riddle acted like they'd never met before and neither he nor trey ever intended trey to be his vice #but every time riddle talks about his childhood post-incident it's basically #'oh yeah i constantly thought about trey and che'nya and fantasized about still being friends with them! this is fine and normal'#(there's a bit in one of his birthday cards where he talks about crossword puzzles and shit man that one got me)#idk. i can't put this into words very well #just...the implications that riddle was actively resisting trey's friendship #(presumably because it ended SUPER badly last time and he's learned that if he shows he wants something it gets taken away from him)#and trey had to work REALLY hard to just to get to the point they were at by the time canon starts #that was progress somehow #y'all can call him boring all you want but trey's defining feature really is that he keeps being like #'everything's fine :) this isn't a big deal :) i don't care that much'#(trey on the inside: THIS IS THE BIGGEST DEAL THAT I CARE SO MUCH ABOUT AND I WILL NEVER LET IT GO)#anyway i continue to be absolutely murdered by the timing of riddlepunzel directly after this #riddle's line about not wanting to keep standing in front of a door that's never going to open...#hey. hey silly gacha game about anime disney boys.#you are not actually allowed to do this to me #oh shit oh damn i'm out of tags and i haven't even talked about cater yet. NO BUT I HAVE LOTS OF FEELINGS THERE TOO --#(i am crushed under a falling safe looney tunes style)

this fandom is crazy bc the game presents you with the most androgynous cryptid of a protagonist who quite literally beats you over the head with a hockey stick that they are not you nor is anything about them aside from their actions dictated by your preferences. and some people still came out of it going "their gender is up for interpretation and i interpret him as a boy!" anyways happy pride

#i dont have the energy for pride art really. idk i might near the end of the month #but take an enby kris #pride 2025 #doodles #nonbinary #kris dreemurr #deltarune #'their gender is up for interpretation' is a crazy argument for the 'no one can choose who they are in this world' game #i fear at this point kris could turn to the camera and go 'my pronouns are they/them' and someone would still say its ambiguous #like girl its not i fear you just cant read

#Ugh...#I wish I knew when I'm not gonna be in the mood to talk to people that don't know me #Yknow?#Like socializing with people you've recently met #This guy was just texting me like 'hey haven't heard from you in a couple of weeks...'#And it's not like I don't want to hang out but I don't want to hang out ahsjhashs #Like-#Sometimes I just want to be in my safe spaces. Be it by myself or with people I already trust and know.#And that can go on for months...#So then I have like a day or two when I'm feeling sociable and with the right amount of energy to get to know new people #And then right after I shut down and disappear lol #And it's so hard to explain without sounding like a douchebag #But it is what it is #Again... I don't see it as a loss because I don't care about them enough for that and I'm fine #But then they reach out and I groan lol #I'll probably reply in a few hours and be honest but like... Yeah. I don't care that much but I don't want to be an asshole either #I mean I already am but like not way more than I have to be #Anyway... Blah blah

3 years of this godforsaken show

#murder drones has genuinely shaped me so much #drawing stuff from it has been one of my greatest motivators to learn more art stuff #i've been able to iron out my interests and sense of humor due to it #i've corrupted the sekaiju discord with it #much to half the servers dismay #ive grown so attached to these characters. it was heartbreaking to see them go those months ago #who knows where i would have been without this show entering my life #wouldn't have obtained this audience without it. i owe you all that #i messed up the perspective in that one spot im posting this before i can get more upset about it #art #murder drones #murder drones uzi #murder drones v #murder drones n #serial designation v #serial designation n #murder drones j #serial designation j #a little bonus i thought of while sketching out the og poses #Tessa would've loved this.

in fanworks, i usually see casey hced as being around present leo's age, so like 16, and then later i found out his canonical age is confirmed to be a vague "around late teens or 20" which is really funny to me bc that's such a huge gap at that age span. now whenever his age comes up anywhere i've just been picturing this meme in my head
