People with ADHD tend to have time blindness.. Which means we dont tend to have a good grasp at how long things take.

Now this really fucks us up cause we end up being unable to start doing things cause we think it’ll take a long time only for it to take a very short time when we actually do it.

Now obviously if someone says ten minutes, we know what it means numerically. But what we don’t easily grasp is what can be done in those ten minutes.

My friends are coming over in ten minutes? I can easily clean up the house and change before then…… Wait, theyre already here? How’s that possible?!

Op I like you cuz you make me feel less shitty about my shortcomings. It’s not just me being shitty! Amazing! It’s a legit thing! Which I still need to deal with and stuff but at least it’s like, not just cuz I’m a terrible person!

A lot of what we are made to believe are our shortcomings are caused by factors outside of our control. We can learn to control them to a point but learning to recognize them as not completely our fault is incredibly freeing.

what miles morales said: Anyone can wear the mask. YOU could wear the mask…

what every fan creator heard: SHAME IS CANCELLED. MAKE AN OC.

What this person heard: other people shouldn’t have fun because if I’m too afraid to make an OC than you should be too

No, the opposite– I was raised in the fan fiction era of mary sue litmus tests and I primarily have been an OC maker/new-character-insert fanfiction writer from the age of like, 12. My teens was full of hearing constantly from fandom that OCs were self-indulgent and bad and shameful and I am expressing my happiness that an actual primary text of fandom gave people the emotional space to make original characters

like please I am a fan creator. the first thing i did when I got home from the movies was make a spider-horse

I think some of the reactions go to show how bad the environment has been for fan creators for a while. Even when we’re the ones writing “shame is cancelled” or “cringe culture is cancelled” when it comes to fan works and OCs, many of us are conditioned to read this kind of thing and think that because it is not explicitly marked as positive, it must be an attack on creative fans, if only because people have been attaching shame to creative works for years.
