idk why i am so constipated about posting. it's probably compulsive perfectionism that i have to make each post, like, as thorough and well-worded as possible, and then i never want to do it. i should just start saying shit. watch this

this is so based and also for some reason seeing this post about making mediocre shit by myself, despite having seen similar posts a million times, is the catalyst that made me instantly open a word doc and start typing out fanfiction for the first time in a while. did you put some kind of special sauce in this post

why would you ever outsource fun to chatgpt? are you stupid? you can make mediocre shit by yourself too.

Experiencing a stupid problem where right now my brain is full to bursting with Wylanposts but it feels like I can't post them until they are Consisely Written and Condensed into One or Two Posts or else people will find me tiresome and accuse me of showing Favoritism. Girl. Read your blog girl. And also who gives a fuck

ok, actually went through the Kaz/Nikolai tag and it's pretty much just one person that's been absolutely cranking them out and now i feel kind of bad. You keep it up man, you're doing more than me.

Alright I'll say it. I don't get all the Kaz/Nikolai content that's been populating AO3 recently. Nor the Kaz/Darkling content.

This is one of my favorite things in the series, but I have seen it misinterpreted in comments on various platforms and in other separate posts, so I wanted to add something.

Jesper's addiction is caused by the suppression of his powers. His ADHD is not.

I have seen comments conflating his addiction with the rest of his ADHD, fanfics implying that all other expressions of his ADHD fade with the use of his powers, and even analyses critiquing a couple authors' use of "magical ADHD", i.e. ADHD that only exists due to a fantastical element.

That interpretation detracts from how interesting this character/worldbuilding trait is, and I can see it being somewhat offensive as well. Even before his magical suppression began in earnest, child Jesper was described as having his ADHD traits - hyperactivity, risk-seeking, poor focus. He did not "become" ADHD because of his suppression, and it won't go away once he stops suppressing himself. He may have ended up struggling with addiction even if never hid his powers! He was written with the intention of having ADHD from the start, with all the good and bad things that come with it. That is how his brain is wired.

And since he is wired in such a way, the "sickness" caused by magical suppression manifests as negative neuroses typical of ADHD - addiction and adrenaline-seeking. His suppression exacerbates their severity, making his urges to gamble worse than they ever would have been on their own. Shooting, on the other hand, gives him that tiny bit of release as he uses his powers to guide the bullet, temporarily reducing those addictive urges, the feeling of sickness. The sickness is his addiction - not his ADHD altogether.

say what you will about leigh bardugo's worldbuilding choices but "guy who's hiding his superpowers is so constantly understimulated he developed a gambling addiction to cope" is fucking brilliant actually
