My ADHD: I cannot clean it feels like putting my hand on a hot stove

My autism: Things aren't in order I feel like I'm going to explode I have to clean there has to be order

My ADHD: I feel like going to explode because I physically cannot clean my brain won't let me

Me: Guess we just feel horrible then

i’m a weird little guy married to a very normal guy. so sometimes when i partake in weird little guy behavior and mr. normal guy doesn’t say anything i’ll turn to him and say, “are you not endeared by me?” and every single time without fail he responds, “i’m very endeared by you, sweetheart.”

until today.

i was in the kitchen with the lights off frog-squatted in front of the open fridge door eating a cold rotisserie chicken straight from the bag with my bare hands. you know. like god intended.

so when he walks into the kitchen and spots me his step falters. and i look up at him grinning with rotisserie chicken particles on my face and say, “what? are you not endeared by me?”

he looks at me for a moment longer before saying, “no.” and walking out, forgetting about whatever it was he came in there for.

The real thing with ADHD is not "I forgot", but that forgetting is this ongoing process. I remembered! And then I forgot.

At ten this (hypothetical) morning I remembered that I have a meeting at six. And then from 11 through 3 I worked on other stuff and had zero thoughts about that meeting. Maybe even thought about what I was gonna do with my evening at home. Got attached to the idea of taking the time to make a good dinner, maybe play some video games.

And then at three I said, "Oh! Fuck!" and remembered again, hopefully long enough to set an alarm. And then I went to the bathroom and remembered that I need to clean the counter and spent twenty minutes cleaning the bathroom and went to get a snack and then at five I said, "OH! FUCK!" and had to scramble to dress like a real adult and get out the door.

It isn't one clean forgetting. It's a constant process of forgetting and then, with an exhausting adrenaline spike, remembering. And then forgetting. Baby, I can forget the same thing more times in a day than you ever forgot your parents' anniversary.

I have to assume that in the fullness of time, at least once, a mouse has used a mushroom as an umbrella.

That’s enough to keep me going.

the five homoerotic love languages:

- intimate stabbing

- outright obsession

- confused pining

- "no one knows me like you do"

- lifelong promises that always sound suspiciously like wedding vows

i like working at plant store. sometimes you ring up someone and there's a slug on their plant and so you're like "Oh haha you've got a friend there let me get that for you" and you put the slug on your hand for safekeeping but then its really busy and you dont have time to take the slug outside before the next customer in line so you just have a slug chilling on your hand for 15 minutes. really makes you feel at peace with nature. also it means sometimes i get to say my favorite line which is "would you like this free slug with your purchase"

random tegg doodles

[totallynotagremlin]

Help I'm obsessed with your tegg Scarian T-T

Like, they're so adorable and scar is so oblivious hwsjakaashshsks

I can imagine scar waking up one day and instead of jellie on the end of his bed, Grian is curled up there with the tegg and he's made a nest out of the blankets and Scar's clothes gshskakalaaa help they're TOO CUTE

by this point scar does know grian is crazy abt the dragon egg and views him as the other parent, but he’d still be surprised by grian showing up in his house to sleep.

Xelqua sees pictures of Grian with the tegg

"I came from there?"

more crossover, I remembered this ask and drew it before rereading it, so… it’s actual tegg instead of pictures.

[totallynotagremlin]

the tegg hatches ! there were more pages, but i'm fed up with it ! so i'm cutting it there. the rest of the content will be just doodles in later posts.

note: the baby isn't a newborn, a few months already at least, she has neck strength and can sit.

[totallynotagremlin]

Now that Tegg is born will grian and scar share custody or will they make a new home together? P.s. I hope your hand heals soon!

grian and scar aren't a couple so they wouldn't have to do custody.

i also imagine all of boatem takes turns with the baby, its a village situation ! boatem baby !!!!

grian would need a lot of help after coming(crashing) down from his bird brain high too
