@words-writ-in-starlight you always give such great advice even if someone doesn’t ask the question it is still relevant to everyone. I made a thing with my favorite tag you use. (Is this considered fanart?? I have no idea) Enjoy
THIS IS SO AMAZING
SUCH A GOOD, WOW, HIGHLIGHT OF A VERY SHITTY WEEK, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
@words-writ-in-starlightFor everyone out there, i think the #1 thing that made me realise I had add/adhd is finding out that hyperfocus is one of the hallmark symptoms of adhd
I never considered I could ever have it until I discovered this. ‘Adhd is supposed to be about being unable to focus. I can’t have it if I can sit down and draw or read or play video games for 8 hours straight to the point of forgetting to feed myself, that’s like, the complete opposite of adhd. That’s just normal behaviour, right?’
JOKES ON YOU BRAIN THAT IS EXACTLY ADHD
GUYS YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND
I WASN’T DIAGNOSED UNTIL I WAS SEVENTEEN
SEVEN FUCKING TEEN
AND WHEN THE PSYCHOLOGIST TOLD US ABOUT HYPERFOCUS
MOM AND I STARED AT EACH OTHER
BECAUSE I’VE BEEN DOING THAT SINCE I WAS SIX.

me: *writing cesare/lucrezia fic* hey, there’s a…
wait why can’t they have a threesome in canonThe emotional math, gus! The figures! Like, Micheletto could very easily fall platonically into a terrifying devotion to Lucrezia that eventually turns sexual, but it would be very hard for him to get swept up in that while also falling into a terrifying tenderness with [redacted so I don’t spoil @marmolita or @words-writ-in-starlight or the anons who have told me I have conned them into starting the show] while ALSO being in terrifying terrible love with Cesare. And then Lucrezia herself would have to meet Micheletto’s very complex and overwhelming romantic calculus at the exact right moment–and balancing the scales between her guilt over [redacted] and her terrifying terrible love for her brother WITH her new marriage for enough of an emotional breath that she could possibly entertain bringing her brother’s manservant into her incestuous affair would be a feat in and of itself.
(Cesare would obviously be down. Cesare is not the problem.)
and then there’s the TIMING to consider. There are BREAKUPS, and it’s hard to stage a threesome in the middle of a devastating you-killed-so-and-so-and-dammit-I’ve-got-to-leave-you breakup.
the math just doesn’t work out.
Anonymous asked: I'm so stressed right now because my family is making me go to a celebrate Trump party and I have to act like the perfect straight conservative daughter that I'm not and I dont know how I'm going to live with this and I have zero choice in the matter
Oh, sweetheart. Oh, baby, I wish to God I could give you a hug and promise I could protect you from this whole disaster. But I can’t, and I wish I could tell you something that would magically make it easier to get through this, but I can’t do that either.
So here’s this. You are not wrong in your beliefs. You are not wrong in your identity. Your parents might not know, or they might not agree, or they might even believe they can ‘fix’ you, but you don’t need to be fixed, I promise you. You are not alone, facing this, even if it might feel otherwise.
And that’s the critical part, I think. The power in an administration like Trump’s comes from making people like you, and like me, people who stand in a minority, feel alone. It comes from making us believe that we are facing an unstoppable onrushing tide, with no one to help us or hold us up when we falter, because it is so easy to trample over a single frightened person. And it is so easy, when you’re that single frightened person, to crumple.
But you’re not alone, sweetheart. You’re not. Our greatest strength for the next four years is our unity. We stand together, hand in hand, and we do not abandon one another to the tide, we work together to pile up sandbags against it. So you’ll live through this, sweetheart. I promise. With me, and with hundreds of thousands of others around the world. We won’t let you be swept away.
Take a hand, sweetheart, and do not go gentle into that good night.
That’s what is unsettling: I don’t think even Trump has a frigging clue what he will do now.
‘I wish it need not have happened in my time,’ said Frodo.
‘So do I,’ said Gandalf, ‘and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.’

Let’s just spam the internet with this picture. U know just to ruin Trump’s special day. If you need me, I’ll be on Twitter tweeting this photo to him a million times 🌈
