having adhd means every time you leave your room to perform a task you accidentally complete three completely different tasks instead before finally doing the intended task. and what that means is you do a side quest task, go back to your room, realize you fucked up, leave your room again, only to find another random cool side quest task you wanna do first AGAIN. SURELY this time you’ll remember to do the ACTUAL task you need to do after. rinse and repeat

to want. that was his mistake. crowley had wanted, had admitted to wanting—to himself, to the world, to God, to everyone but him—and asked for it, afraid.

he had been so bold as to need, and, oh, he should have known better. the serpent of eden, the original tempter, should have seen the future and known that want does nothing except open the door for loss.

get so mad trying to take pictures on my phone and my body hair isn’t picked up 😭 i swear guys i swear i’m growing it’s just second puberty is slow as shit!

New fic idea: 5 times Wilson or House drugged each other with zolpidem, inducing sleepwalking shenanigans, and 1 time they accidentally drugged each other with z at the same time and got a rare (and originally intended) peaceful night of sleep.

Brecaea has agreed to host part of the Festival of the Blue Moon, which means the sensitivities will be split between the two kingdoms. The invitations for the festival will work as follows:

There will be three types of invitations: A general invitation, A Brecaean invitation, and a Meriet invitation. All will have instructions to dip the card itself in water following the flowery invitation language.

The general invitation is more of a formality that is an invite to the event, even though the event isn't invitation locked. it's more of a way to say "please attend if you'd like to". the kingdom won't be specified, so either one is fine. The event itself is typically not by invitation only but this is being used as a means to invite people within and outside of Elysia to come and celebrate with them

The kingdom specific invitations are reserved for notable guests (royalty, nobles, etc). In addition to inviting them to the general festivities, it will serve as a cordial invitation to a more private gathering that will take place during the festivities.

The invitation Brecaea's side of the event ( and party ) will specifically state that they've also been cordially invited to the party in Brecaea and will say that they need to bring this invitation with them. They cannot lose it and upon arriving, whoever comes will receive a thin little charm bracelet meant to be worn under their sleeves, if any, but they can always modify it to suit the outfit ( i.e: can be a necklace or an earring ). It'll look very similar to the accessories most festival-goers are wearing. The host of Brecaea's festivities will be Queen Dakota and that much will be printed on the invitation after it is dipped in water.

Similarly, the invitation to Meriburn's event will state that they've been invited to the party in Meriburn. same rules apply--cannot lose the invitation, need to bring it with them, and they will receive a little, customizable charm that allows them to come and go as they please once they arrive. The host of Meriburn's festivities will be Princess Cassandra and that much will be printed on the invitation after it is dipped in water.

They very strict about guests losing their charms or if they are stolen. It's not only a means for them to keep track of notable parties at each event. but to ensure that all guests are safe during the festivities. This will be stressed upon arrival--under no circumstances is any royal guest advised to take these off.

Part of learning and accepting that I have adhd has been mitigating all the things I hate about things I have to do as best I can so that I can actually do them. One of those things has been changing where and how I brush my teeth. One of my biggest issues is that I think it’s fucking gross to brush my teeth in the same room I poop in, so I started brushing my teeth in the kitchen, which also has an added benefit of having a window instead of a mirror. And the best part is, now I can stand there and brush my teeth and watch my neighbor chase his horses all over their pasture because they don’t wanna be caught 😂😂😂

can you describe matthias and theo night routines? and their sleep schedule

<3 ly

Theo doesn’t get a lot of sleep since he’s either out partying into the long stretches of the night or up studying until the words begin to blur on the page. I’d say he normally falls asleep around 3AM-4AM and doesn’t wake back up until 7AM. Four-ish hours is pretty average for how much sleep he gets a night… maybe less at times if he’s more stressed than usual. I should add that he does sleep more when he’s staying over at Matthias’s or vice versa, but generally he tries his best not to let Matthias distract him from studying before bed… which only ever works out about a quarter of the time. Matthias can be... very persuasive.

In the case of Matthias, well… he’s a chronic insomniac whose insomnia is exacerbated by hallucinations and nightmares. Unsurprisingly, his sleep schedule is terribly inconsistent, but if he does sleep then I think he normally manages it sometime around noon and will stay asleep for about an hour or two. It’s actually very rare that he falls asleep during the night—especially after Theo begins to sleep over, as Matthias prefers to read and watch over him at that time instead. Theo has fits in his sleep (from nightmares that he never remembers…) and Matthias gently calms him so he doesn’t wake up.

The only time they fall asleep at around the same time is when they’ve been at it for a while and both need a break. Matthias doesn’t stay asleep for long, though… maybe an hour at most. He does sleep easier around Theo, but that’s mostly just when Theo is awake. I think Matthias finds a lot of comfort in knowing Theo is there watching over him. He went through a lot at the reformation school and there were many times within those years where sleep would be abruptly interrupted and then he’d be back on the killing floor, so to speak, so having someone there to watch over him… I think it really helps. Then, on the other hand, Theo sleeps pretty deeply after they’ve been having sex. There’s never a time he feels more cared for and adored than when Matthias is making love to him, so it's... a relaxing experience. It puts Theo's mind at ease and I think it’s probably when Theo feels the safest. So he'll sleep for a long while after, feeling cradled in Matthias's presence, his anxiety finally snuffed out.

As for their actual night routines… hm. They’re very different, especially before and after the start of Echthroi. 

Theo’s night routine stays pretty much the same throughout the story. He’s not one for self-care, like, at all. Because of that, he doesn’t necessarily have a routine… Theo’s honestly only really meticulous in his studies and everything else suffers for it. However, Theo physically cannot fall asleep unless he’s checked the locks on the windows and doors and closed all of the blinds and curtains. That’s the one routine of his he’s always sure to follow through on, even when he’s intoxicated or sleep deprived.

Otherwise, what else he does as part of his “routine” is up in the air. Sometimes he showers before bed, other times he showers after waking up. Sometimes he combs through his hair all nicely and other times he just impatiently rips his fingers through his hair and shrugs. Sometimes he forgets to brush his teeth, other times he forgets that he’s already brushed his teeth and ends up doing it again. He’s a bit of a mess. If he’s actually aware/awake enough to put himself to bed, then he’ll messily wipe any makeup off his face post-clubbing and/or he’ll shower post-hook up (if it’s the pre-Matthias part of Echthroi). If he’s tired from studying he’ll put all of his materials away and then flop down on his bed. If he has to see his parents in the morning then he’ll wind up in the bathroom for too long, brushing his teeth until his gums bleed. If we’re talking about Theo in the post-meeting Matthias part of the story then he might take a cold shower to try and get Matthias out of his head for a little bit, or he’ll find himself laying in bed staring warily at his phone. Hm… and in general Theo will hum lullabies to himself so he can fall asleep easier… it’s a childhood habit.

By nature of Matthias’s insomnia, Matthias doesn’t exactly find himself preparing for bed during the night like most people. He does, however, still run through his personal care routine at around 8pm. He showers, brushes, flosses, cleanses and hydrates, primps and preens, and then he’ll usually find himself entertaining guests or a partner for the night.

For Matthias pre-meeting Theo, he’s often not alone after dark as he has a string of men with whom he takes to his bed or a list of faceless people to call on whenever he wants to be surrounded by bodies and chatter. There are still quiet nights where he’s by himself or just with Imani, but they’re relatively few and far between. For Matthias post-meeting Theo… woof. He did sleep around here and there still, but I think he gave it up pretty early on… his mind was always swimming with thoughts of Theo and he couldn’t focus on nor did he find himself interested in the men he’d have under him. So after meeting Theo his usual night circuit changes and he often finds himself staying home and reading with some wine and the occasional glance at his phone, waiting for a response. Matthias does a lot of waiting when it comes to Theo.

If they're together at night (when they’re dating), then Matthias will usually make dinner for Theo. He likes feeding him (by hand, even, though Theo often protests). Normally Theo will have a few textbooks with him that he can study from while he waits for dinner and he always winds up going "give me a minute" when the food is finally done. They'll enjoy each other's company just fine at home or they'll go out for a drive or a walk. Theo often winds up getting roped into following along with Matthias's night routine and will poke fun at how fussy Matthias can be as Matthias does skincare beside him in the bathroom. Theo tries to get away with studying again later in the night, but Matthias likes to distract him as he’s personally offended whenever Theo whips out his textbooks past, like, 11PM. In general, they'll wind up having sex at some point, or multiple points, and then they'll shower together. After they towel off and Matthias dries Theo's hair, Matthias will most likely end up reading to Theo until Theo falls asleep. If Theo wakes up during the night, Matthias simply kisses him back to sleep.

i hate getting sappy on main but i think things are actually gonna be okay, y’know?

It's dangerous to eat sweets alone, take this!

(Its a tube of sweet toothpaste, it manages to taste sweet without any sugar, so it is both good for your teeth and tasty!)

post-11pm thought from my brain:

polka is like hot dogs (makes sense in context, but you’re not getting any)

baffled at just how many environmentalist episodes there were in rbay. kirby cares about the environment that is wonderful to know.

just had a category 5 brain malfunction (misread rissa’s tags on that jennifer’s body gifset like three fucking times)

the euphoria of precariously tinkering with word choice instead of drafting oh my god

How do I explain the ways in which the bill origins fic 'A Romance of Many Dimensions' by haley3 rewired my brain without needing to give paragraphs upon paragraphs of context. The fic is something like 200,000 words long. Almost every single good moment calls back to things that are set up earlier in the fic
