#which creates a sort of imposter syndrome feedback loop

I think I might try to write something of a character study on how I perceive Cynthia having executive dysfunction because like, she's canonically a bit of a mess, but I think sometimes the pendulum swings a bit far in the other direction and loses the confident and collected person that she is, despite those dysfunctions
The way I see it she has no issue in doing things, but it's the aftermath she's not good at cleaning up; she can write a 10k word essay easily enough but she doesn't put away any of her study material afterwards, or she does her laundry but doesn't fold it up and put it away because whatever she'll just iron it, she can cook basic meals but will leave a mess on the stove and the sink so it's easier to just get take-out.
I do think it's something she's not very proud of, even though it's a pretty human flaw to have and she makes light of it occasionally I can see her being hard on herself for not living up to her own her grandmother's standards. What's particularly interesting though is I think it can reflect how she approaches things in general, where she's fighting for the here and the now but doesn't always put a lot of thought into the fallout that comes afterwards
#there's an expectation that she and other people have that she has to be more competent and in control than the average human being#which creates a sort of imposter syndrome feedback loop#there's more i could say abt how i'd like to portray her executive dysfunction by actually tackling the shame that comes with it#but i'll leave that for what i write i think....#luculia wouldn't necessarily be cleaning up after her but it's at least one thing where she can take the lead and make the first step
