i accidentally neurodivergenced my way out of brainrot. youre telling me that most people do not feel the need to use their critical thinking skills on every single piece of media they consume (aka hyperfixations)??????? youre telling me they dont have opinions on it????? youre telling me theyre not relating to characters??????? youre telling me theyre not analyzing media and coming to conclusions about who they are as a person because they saw a character do it in a movie????? read about a character who did it in a book????? youre telling me that social media completely obliterated most individuals' sense of self????????? and i didnt because i deleted tik tok at 14 years old??????? and i didnt because i sometimes accidently get hyperfocused on national institute of health articles just to prove that im right??????? and i didnt because i feel the need to gather evidence?????? to fact check????????? to read??????? to write??????????? literally what????????????

you're telling me..... that when other people absorb media...... theyre doing it..... as....... a brain break?????????????????????? every single time?????????????????

wtf.

Listen, I love the "XL helps HC to see how beautiful he is" scenario as much as the next person... But I also see it like this.

Rewatched this scene from Disney's Robin Hood and knew what I had to do.

i hate to say it because i'm neurodivergent and a chronic-pain-haver but like... sometimes stuff is going to be hard and that's okay.

it's okay if you don't understand something the first few times it's explained to you. it's okay if you have to google every word in a sentence. it's okay if you need to spend a few hours learning the context behind a complicated situation. it's okay if you need to read something, think about it, and then come back to re-read it.

i get it. giving up is easier, and we are all broken down and also broke as hell. nobody has the time, nobody has the fucking energy. that is how they win, though. that is why you feel this way. it is so much easier, and that is why you must resist the impetus to shut down. fight through the desire you've been taught to "tl;dr".

embrace when a book is confusing for you. accept not all media will be transparent and glittery and in the genre you love. question why you need everything to be lily-white and soft. i get it. i also sometimes choose the escapism, the fantasy-romance. there's no shame in that. but every day i still try to make myself think about something, to actually process and challenge myself. it is hard, often, because of my neurodivergence. but i fight that urge, because i think it's fucking important.

especially right now. the more they convince you not to think, the easier it will be to feed you misinformation. the more we accept a message without criticism, the more power they will have over that message. the more you choose convenience, the more they will make propaganda convenient to you.
