Discordia ADHD Gothic

  • The lecturer gives you your assignment. 4 weeks remain. You assume it won’t take longer than a week. 1 week remains. You assume it won’t take longer than a few days. 2 days remain. You assume it’ll only take a few hours. 10 seconds remain. 
  • You forgot your keys today. And yesterday. And the day before. You start to wonder if your door even has a lock at all and if there really are keys, and if so what are you searching for? 
  • You hyperfocus. Hours pass, days, months. How long has it been? The calendars and clocks all read differently, time is an illusion, it’s dark outside. 
  • You bump into a stranger. Your RSD kicks in. You have to apologize to your boss for being late to work. Your RSD kicks in. You refuse to acknowledge the shadow creature in the corner of your room. Your RSD kicks in. 
  • “Those drugs are just an excuse for drug companies to profit off of people!” posts Sharon, age 42, on a homeopathic “guru” Facebook page. “They just want to medicate childhood! It’s a scam!”. She pays £500 for crystal healing for her child’s measles case.
  • You sit across from the doctor. “How were you at school?” they ask you. The gears in your head come to an abrupt halt, you have no memory of anything, was there a school at all?    
  • You relent to someone about the struggles of your condition. Their face twists and contorts in utter fury, their eyes seem ablaze. “It’s all a conspiracy!” they hiss, “to stop kids from being disciplined!”. You suddenly realize there’s not a child in sight of this person.
  • You’re lying in your bed at night, the room pitch black with only the numbers on your alarm clock illuminating a few centimeters of MDF bedside cabinet top. “Sleep” you tell yourself. You hear it, your own voice whisper back “no, now is a time for thinking”. You blink, the clock reads 5:38am.    
  • “I need you to have this ready” they tell you. The grey matter in your skull squeals and giggles with malicious glee. They do not decide what needs done, who is a mortal to challenge what defies nature’s design itself? You nod anyway, only to appease your fellow human. You’ll pay for that. 
  • You sit down to write out your assignment. The blank paper stretches about a third of the desk’s width. You look out the window, deciding that there are more important things for now. The blank paper stretches to the horizon. 
  • “it’s a kid’s disease” they say. You argue otherwise, they tell you to respect your elders. You pull out your ID in protest, waving your date of birth in their face. Their grin extends to their earlobes and their eyes darken. “It’s a kid’s disease” they growl. You were 21 the last time you looked at your license.

  • “Stop shaking your leg,” someone says. You oblige. Not two seconds later, they glare at you and you realize it has begun again, or maybe it never stopped. did it ever stop? Did you ever have control? 
  • You decide to do your work after five minutes of relaxing. After a minute, an hour has passed. You get to work. After an hour, a minute has passed. The clocks, you decide, are conspiring

I keep using my girlfriend with unusual work hours to get out of coworker interactions and happy hours and hanging out.

But now the company holiday party is upon us.

And I’ve been lying about the girlfriend.

I suddenly really empathise with the characters in Hallmark Christmas movies.

I like that people have two reactions to this post.

Reasonable: “just say she couldn’t make it!”

having the DMV area Craigslist bookmarked has never come in handy before but now

Update, Craigslist has flagged my post as inappropriate.

Apparently you can’t solicit a date as a “gig”

I now see my mistake

Update: a date has been acquired. This is true lesbian solidarity in action.

My wife has now read this and wonders how baby gays are even meeting and mating

Can confirm I am meeting and mating just fine 😂

By the way I’m in a relationship with this woman now

This is the feedback I’ve been looking for

No no no y’all don’t understand I just watched this dude’s video series on YouTube where he literally spent several months GATHERING BEHIND THE SCENES FOOTAGE OF HIM JOINING AND THEN GETTING KICKED OUT OF SCIENTOLOGY. THIS DUDE WAS A PART OF SEA ORG

He literally went in with spy cam glasses and was recording audio on his phone. He went through hours and hours of quite literally brainwashing (a lot of which was recorded), to the point where he was so confused about an actual memory of him breaking his collarbone and going to the hospital that he had to get a buddy who was there to recount it to him after. He was invited to a party with some of the most powerful people in Scientology and got to see the leader of Scientology speak. They encouraged him to steal to get the money to buy their crap, it’s INSANE

You’re going to say all that but not give a link???

Yo, hes doing good work but keep an eye on him cuz he could go missing so keep an eye out on him. Stay safe bro.

Yeah Scientologists are vicious it’s important to expose them but also fuck I would not want to be the one they retaliate against I hope this guy is safe

admittedly I don’t normally like modern shakespeare adaptations but once I went to see my cousin in a midsummer night’s dream and it opened with a high schooler saying “I don’t wanna read this play” so he sits down and eats an entire chipotle burrito on stage and then immediately falls asleep and the play begins but instead of the forest the faeries all hang out in a rainforest cafe TM and at one point in the middle of a scene the guy from the beginning just slowly drifts across the back of the stage on a skateboard, staring at all the characters as the events of the play transpire in the form of some sort of chipotle-induced coma lucid dream

THAT is EXACTLY what Shakespeare would have wanted

I swear if this isn’t floating around on the internet I’m gonna cry

Oh buddy IT’S ABOUT TO BE. I am like, 98% sure this was my high school’s production and I’ve got photos and video clips like craaaazy…

Here are some fun additions… the Mechanicals were also based on the characters of The Breakfast Club (here I am below, eating an actual Captain Crunch and Pixie Stix sandwich on stage.)

…and the one on the longboard was actually our Puck - he rode it through the whole play in the background. Please note his “Forest Cafe” shirt… which we also had logos for on the cups.

…and we had both a flash mob at the end AND an interlude where myself and one of the other Fairies danced to “Sexy and I Know It” while we were cleaning up the tables at the cafe.

I will post more of this later. I have a DVD at my house and will endure cringing at myself to bring you some quality clips… there’s probably one of K eating the burrito before the start of the play, too.

@hullaballoons Here is more Ktown Lore for you 

Here ya go kids… all 2h20m. if you make it through the whole thing once, that’s probably more times than any of the cast watched this DVD. You can probably see why. Tbh if you watch this, I am sorry in advance.

Important notes:

- Chipotle burrito makes a cameo about 30 min in,

- the end has a flash mob and a “commercial” for the Forest Cafe, 

- unfortunately, the lunch scene where all the mechanicals whistle like the Breakfast Club got mostly cut for some reason?

@vampireapologist in case you have any interest in reliving this… at the very least you can prove to any doubters that there was, in fact, a Chipotle burrito onstage.

I cannot even fully conceptualize, much less put into words, how wild this chain of events has been.

I have dozens of posts going around that have broken 50,000 notes, and plenty that have broken 100,000.

On every single one of these posts, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of comments and tags calling me a liar and the story fake, but none so much as this post.

This post was my most doubted of all.

And you came in………

with a Two and a Half Hour Long video.

I’ll never forget this.

We have a bond forged in fire and spirit now.

This whole thing originally felt like some online urban legend… and then @cyanideending comes through with video proof and first person participation. What a time to be alive

NEVER forget

Rejection sensitive dysphoria is wild. Someone will be like "hey just so you know the thing you did was a little bit loud/uncomfortable/insensitive but it's ok I know you didn't mean it" and my brain will instantly translate "you should be shot"

The fun other side of this too is when you are afraid of making other people feel that way so you just let shit go 90% of the time even when it's reasonable and valid to make a comment/critique/etc

hey guys it’s your witcher, before we get back into it I just wanted to take a minute to tell you all about Blue Apron

ADHD brain be like “Oh I have a ton of free time, but none of the literally dozens of things I could do to fill that time seem Gratifying Enough to commit mental energy to, so I’m just gonna sit here dissociating for five hours while also singing Queen songs in my head probably.”

me watching The Witcher: Xena vibes! High fantasy nonsense! Wizards! Weird timelines. More wizards! Unexpectedly compelling commentary on what it means to be a “monster.”  Even MORE Wizards! BARDS! This is what I signed up for.

critics watching The Witcher: This claims to be Fantasy, yet it is not Game of Thrones? Suspicious. Also I will demand that it 100% make sense, because that has always been a hallmark of the fantasy genre.

x files ruined romance for me because now i expect to have a best friend thrust upon me by circumstance that i intellectually spare with while ghost/cryptid hunting on the regular and then i get abducted by aliens and they get so buckwild with grief they choke a man in my name and fuck a vampire while wearing my necklace. then like we fuck off and almost die a bunch of times trying to out a government conspiracy around aliens and then i get cancer but then you sneak into the pentagon and find a cure and then im about to leave b/c i think i’m bring you down but then you’re like But you saved me! and we almost kiss but then i get stung by a killer bee and get sent to antarctica by the  government and despite being recently shot in the head you come all the way to an alien spaceship in the antarctic ice to save my life and then your ex shows up and is trying to betray you and you end up in a dangerous coma but then i go to cote d'ivoire in africa to find information to save your life and then your ex helps me save your life but they die? and then you finally gain closure for what happened to your dead sister at 12. then we fuck for the first time i guess
