I was bored, so I started trying some different outfits on Zara... The last one might be my favorite, if only because I already used another swatch of the first one for Wolf, and I can't have them wearing the same thing... But I also love being able to see all her freckles in the 2nd one...

"She asked me to give you something…"

"What?"

Simon holds on to my shoulders and stands on his toes to kiss my forehead.

Then he settles back on his heels and smiles at me. "That."

8 and 11 for the fandom ask game?

8. you hope more people will come to appreciate ___ (a ship, a trope, an episode, etc)

Well, I’m sure pretty much anyone looking at my blog feels will agree when I say the mobile games.

Like I feel like people are too quick to dismiss them as just Gatcha cash grabs (and I understand they were to an extent, but that’s not all they were, you know?) . They both have told really interesting stories (even if KHUX took its time to actually get to it… 300 missions until Ephemer was insane lol) and added so much to the lore and casts. Not only that, but they gave us new content in what otherwise would’ve been painfully long gaps between games.

Just talking about this makes me even more excited for Missing Link.

11. if you're a writer or artist, what fic or piece of art are you proud of making?

As a writer and an artist I’ll answer for both.

For writing I’ll have to say Nameless AU is probably the fic I’m the most proud of at the moment, and, uhh it’s not out yet but just you wait! Once I finish that first chapter it’s all over for you lol

For art I think I’m obligated to say my Safe and Sound PMV. The art is old and not the greatest but it’s honestly a miracle it got finished at all and I’m proud of that.

If you have ADHD, please take heed and date people who make the effort to educate themselves at least a little about how it impacts our brains and behaviour. Or else they will see only the Symptoms and ascribe them to Who You Are As A Whole Person, and they will resent you for it. Something you are born with and cannot help much outside of medications that have side effects that sometimes outweigh their benefits.

I recently ended things with someone who came to hate everything he claimed he adored about me in the beginning. A bulk of those were straight up ADHD traits that I let loose because I didn't want to mask around him all the time. So I (stupidly) thought the fact that he liked those traits meant I could unmask freely.

Things like talking a lot about something I was hyperfixating on.

"I could listen to you talk all day. *heart eyes*"

became

"The conversation always loops back to your interests. :(:("

Umm, I thought you were done your thought and now I had another of my own??? That I wanted to tell you about and I couldn't wait??? That you could listen to me talk all day???????? Which is it?

The funny thing is that sharing all my inane thoughts with someone as they occur is something extremely vulnerable for me to do. I have to really trust you. As I've been told sooooo many times in the past that I talk too much, it's such a core fucking wound of mine, so if I let loose around you it means I trust you to actually enjoy that aspect of me, because I'm unmedicated atm for health reasons and I cannot. Mask 24/7. Only 9-5. Nor do I want to. I think I'm a genuine hoot and some people get me, some don't.

Someone who understands ADHD will get that you oftentimes find literally everything so fucking boring you could scream. Even things you like or have liked. Things you know you would like on medication. So to fixate on something for a while feels like a desert oasis to our parched brains.

I did so many things I found terribly boring because I loved this person, and that made it much easier. Played so many video games I didn't give a true shit about and had to actively wrangle my raw concentration for hours in order to participate. So many board games. I really don't like those LOL. Turn based means I zone out and forget what we're doing when it's not my turn. He never quite understood how much fucking effort that shit took. It was so worth it, to make someone I loved happy. But not easy for me. I gladly took that on because I know my deficits are mine to make up for.

It wasn't even a question, 9/10 times if my partner wanted to do something with me that sounded about as interesting as mopping the floors of the Sistine Chapel on my knees, it was an instant yes. Quality time and sharing each other's interests in important to me. I never bragged or pointed out that I was forcing myself, because I knew that would make it less fun for him. I'm sure he could tell sometimes, but I'll be damned if I didn't put some true fucking effort there. I used to watch movies/tv/news segments with him that I struggled to stay engaged with and never complained. I wanted him to to know I WANTED to be interested in his interests even if I could not muster up the interest organically within myself. Doesn't that count for anything???

But I was vilified because I'm a bit of a conversation hog sometimes. And he felt unable to gently steer me back to what he wants to talk about. To tell me, "heyyyy you're doing it again, maybe u don't realize, but I'm not 100% done with this topic and I'd love to discuss it more together." which would also work perfectly well. I LITERALLY don't realize I'm ranting when I'm doing it, if I've become comfortable to unmask in front of you. Instead he just bottled it up for months and grew to resent me for it.

How is it that everyone I know who actually loves me can call out when I'm going off the rails and making them feel not paid attention to without holding it against me? Without automatically assuming it means I don't care about them? That caring was equated with rapt attention and absorbing of interests was always gonna be the death of me in that relationship. It's not how I'm equipped to show love.

I showed it in so many other ways that went completely disregarded. All of the forcing myself to do things that made me want to turn into a pile of sludge from understimulation was never noticed or appreciated. Never counted for shit. Cool + fair.

Also, towards the end this person would REGULARLY get distracted when I was talking to point out birds or planes in the sky or some such shit (I'm convinced he did it on purpose to bother me bc he was incapable of discussing his feelings and asking for needs to be met, so instead he took out his resentment on me), and on the 5th time or so this happened and I mentioned that it made me feel kinda bad and lose my train of thought and could he try to not do it as much, he threw a hissy fit about how I was being unreasonable and controlling. 🙃

oh my gosh the utter bullshit i've had to put up with from universal credit!!
