I have a select handful of tumblr mutuals that I'm always like chill-ly trying to impress. if I post something like "I bet she'll love this post" and she don't interact with it I'll be like "I'm not good enough. gotta get better"

[@aur0ralights requested 2; Using your hand to lift up their face to check for any injury, when you notice how pretty their eyes are, causing you to blush]
****
Hateno knew he was fine, so he insisted that Chief went to check on the others first. He watched the medic make the rounds, glancing at his pad to make sure he still had healing supplies, but nobody was injured more than a few scrapes and bruises.
Hateno waited patiently as his boyfriend made his way back around to him and gave him a thorough inspection.
"We're all fine," Chief sighed, taking a half step back as he looked over the group once more.
"Ah- you stay," Hateno said, grabbing Chief's hand to pull him back towards him. He gave his boyfriend an equally careful once-over, knowing that Chief was practiced at hiding his own injuries in favor of helping others.
He didn't find anything, but just to be sure he tucked a finger under Chief's chin and lifted it, scanning his face. He froze, completely distracted as he met Chief's gaze. His eyes were ocean-bright, green shining with the same worry that Hateno still felt.
Hateno made a mental note to take more time to appreciate his boyfriend's beautiful eyes.
He blinked himself out of it, his hand moving up to brush Chief's bangs away from his face.
"We're all fine," Hateno repeated, now that they both knew it was true.
Chief stared at him, then quietly said, "...You're blushing."
Hateno could feel that, but he simply smoothed his thumb over Chief's cheek. "So are you."

Every single fic update there is an author trying frantically to find the right balance between a nonchalant aside of "leave a comment if you enjoyed =)" and clinging desperately to the coat tails of a random stranger, dragging along behind them on the street wailing "Please, please! I have to know what you thought! I'm desperate to talk to people about this! Ask me about the alliterative repetition! Ask me about the symbolism!"

āam i Having A Brain Problem or Being a Shitheadā: a short procrastination checklist
aka why tf am i procrastinating on The ThingĀ (more like a flowchart, actually)
lots of people who have executive function difficulties worry about whether theyāre procrastinating on a task out of laziness/simply wanting to be a jerk or mental struggles. this checklist might help you figure out which it is at any given time! (hint: itās almost never laziness or being a jerk.)Ā (obligatory disclaimer: this is just what works for me! something different might work better for you.)
1) do I honestly intend to start the task despite my lack of success?
yes: itās a Brain Problem. next question
no: itās shitty to say one thing & do another. better be honest with myself & anyone expecting me to do the task.
2) am I fed, watered, well-rested, medicated properly, etc?
yes: next question
no: guess what? this is the real next task
3) does the idea of starting the task make me feel scared or anxious?
yes: Anxiety Brain. identify whatās scaring me first.
no: next question
4) do I know how to start the task?
yes: next question
no: ADHD Brain. time to make an order of operations list.
5) do I have everything I need to start the task?
yes: next question
no: ADHD Brain lying to me about the steps again, dangit. first task is āgather the materialsā.
6) why am i having a hard time switching from my current task to this new task?
iām having fun doing what iām doing: itās okay to have fun doing a thing! if task is time-sensitive, go to next question.
i have to finish doing what iām doing: might be ADHD brain. can I actually finish the current task or will I get trapped in a cycle? does this task really need to be finished?
the next task will be boring/boring-er than the current task: ADHD brain. re-think the next task. what would make it exciting? what am I looking forward to?
I might not have enough time to complete the task: ADHD brain wants to finish everything it starts. (if task is time-sensitive, go to next question)
i just want to make the person who asked me to do it angry: sounds like anxiety brain trying to punish itself, because I know Iāll be miserable if someone is angry at me. why do i think I deserve punishment?
no, I seriously want to piss them off: okay, iām being a shithead
7) have I already procrastinated so badly that I now cannot finish the task in time?
yes: ADHD brain is probably caught in a guilt-perfection cycle. since I canāt have the task done on time, i donāt even want to start.
reality check: having part of a thing done is almost always better than none of a thing done. if I can get an extension, having part of it done will help me keep from stalling out until the extension deadline. iāll feel better if I at least try to finish it.
no, thereās still a chance to finish on time: ADHD brain thinks that I have all the time in the world, but the truth is I donāt.Ā
reality check: if iām having fun doing what Iām doing, I can keep doing it, but I should probably set a timer & ask someone to check on me to make sure I start doing the task later today.
8) Iāve completed the checklist and still donāt know whatās wrong!
probably wasnāt honest enough with myself. take one more look.
if Iām still mystified, ask a friend to help me talk it out.
hope this helps some of you! YOUāRE DOING GREAT SWEETIE DONāT GIVE UP ON YOU
