"Twas the night before Christmas
when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
not even a mouse;"
In celebration of 499 followers, and my birthday, I am going to be posting (or, at least trying to post lol) a short fic each day starting from 1st December to 25th December. Sort of like an advent calendar, but for fanfics!
I'm very excited about this ^^ I hope you look forward to this as much I do <3
↣ "I think December 1st is my favourite day of the whole year. On winter’s edge, with the promise of the holiday season, but not close enough to feel rushed. It’s just always felt perfect." ( grim and gn!reader/prefect/yuu)
↣ "Do we have to get out of bed?" (r.hunt x gn!reader/prefect/yuu)
↣ "Stop trying to get me to walk under the mistletoe." "You break the tradition and you end up being cursed for life. Is that what you want?" "…Are you blackmailing me right now?" (f.leech x gn!reader)
↣ "Do you want to put the star on the top of the tree?" (m.trein and gn!reader/prefect/yuu)
↣ "You’re my Christmas angel.” - “Wow that was…intense.” - “Just take the compliment.” (j.viper x gn!reader)
↣ "Why are you staring at me?" "Because you're so pretty" (d.spade x gn!reader)
↣ "No, I'm not buying you that." (d.crewel and gn!reader/prefect/yuu)
↣ "I made you soup because I love you, you dense piece of sponge cake." (c.diamond x gn!reader/prefect/yuu)
↣ "Do you want to bake cookies with me?" (o.shroud and gn!reader/prefect/yuu)
↣ "Oh my God, look at that — it’s a mistletoe!” “…Absolutely fucking not. Don’t give me that look! I’m not kiss— ugh, fine, you menace." (l.kingscholar x gn!reader/prefect/yuu)
↣ "In my defence, ice skating always looked romantic in movies." (r.bucchi x gn!reader/prefect/yuu)
↣ "When you were a kid, didn't you ever like to catch snowflakes on your tongue?" "It didn't snow where I used to live." "Wait, you've never seen real snow?!" "Yeah, it's not that bizarre a concept." (a.trappola x gn!reader/prefect/yuu)

↣ "You know what I've never understood?" "Oh, is it philosophy hour with [Name]?" "Not really... I just don't get how Santa could possibly know what children in the entire world are good or bad but would need to be told what kids want. Kids aren't exactly... quiet about their desires." (s.zigvolt x gn!reader/prefect/yuu)
↣ "What are you doing?" - "Making a snow angel." (a.ashengrotto x gn!reader)
↣ "…How’d you know I wanted this?" "Because I heard you talking about it on several occasions." "I didn’t know you paid this much attention to me." "—I don’t. You just happen to talk really loudly.” (i.shroud x gn!reader/prefect/yuu)

↣ "Please don’t make me wear this, I look ridiculous." (t.clover x gn!reader)
↣ "Is that supposed to be a snowman? What happened to his head?" (j.leech x gn!reader)

Apparently this needs to be said so
Forgetting things is morally neutral! Memory issues are morally neutral!
You're not a bad person if you...
forget things quickly
forget people
can't remember entire stages of your life
can't remember important things
can remember some things very well and forget other things all the time
can't remember things (or anything!) about your interests
forget to eat, sleep, go to the bathroom, etc
forget to reply to texts
remember things and immediately forget them again
can't remember birthdays, events, etc
frequently answer 'I forgot' to questions
can't retain new information
forget things you used to know
only remember things when it's too late
have vague, distorted and/or unreliable memories
depend on others to know how an event you were in played out
have other symptoms that are worsened by memory issues and vice versa
... and anything else I might have missed!

It's ADHD awareness month so l thought it'd be nice to explain why someone with ADHD might consciously make horrible decisions despite being aware of the consequences
So, let's image a situation. A person with ADHD is doing a mildly entertaining activity, let's say doomscrolling. This person also has a task to do. I made a graph where the brighter the color, the higher the satisfaction that the person gets from an activity
[ID: A graph showing a line that divides into two separate lines. The main line, and the bottom line, are a dull yellow. The top line starts off black, and turns bright green as it gets further away from the bifurcation. /End ID]
So here, doomscrolling isn't super gratifying but hey, it's better than nothing. The person has the choice to keep doomscrolling, even though it's honestly pretty boring, or they could do the task they need to do. When they're done with that task, they'll feel a lot better, so they should do that, right? Just do the task because there's literally no cons? Well. Look at this other graph:
[ID: The same graph as before, but cropped to only show the bifurcation itself. This way, the top line seems to be completely black. /End ID]
This is how a person with ADHD perceives the choice. They can logically know that they'll feel better if they do the task, but executive dysfunction makes it literally impossible to get any sort of motivation or satisfaction for gratification that doesn't currently exist. So the choice goes from 'feel meh or feel good later' to 'feel great in comparison or never feel good again'. And what's the obvious choice here?
