revolutionary concept: low effort party theming for mutual cleaning days
okay here's how it is. neurodivergence hard, special interests good. friends also good, loneliness bad.
so if you DO have friends in close proxim, you could theoretically (untested hypothesis so far) ask to "host" a cleaning party if you're like, idk. kinda in a dire spot and need some help with house chores.
Group of friends picks a theme together, like idk low effort old clothes cosplay of your D&D characters, or just colors like green or yellow. doesnt have to be complicated.
Everyone works together, each according to energy and ability etc. Maybe some paperwork needs sorting as well, someone with less physical energy (like me!) can sit and do tasks. fold laundry, be part of a washing up chain, etc.
Learn everyone's strengths and weaknesses. If someone's got a better stomach for Real Gross stuff honor them, give them a small award, but that means EVERYONE ELSE can focus on fun things. I hate washing up, i love folding laundry and cleaning surfaces!! i just cant always GET to those steps on my own. Together, we all kinda can. But make sure you do at least SOME of the other jobs you dont much like, especially if theres a lot of one to do. Just. Do your best i believe in u!!
OH RIGHT the fun bit :3
THEMED party. now whatever that means is up to you, its like gender: no rules. I run a vibes based economy in my house, so if its PIRATES that will mean BANDANAS and REGGAE PLAYLISTS and WAVES ambiences. and we get to say SWAB in a cornish accent, which is very good try it now. (cornish is barbosa, PotC)
Just find something to make it a little fun. Also if it were me, i'd plan a break, then something fun and lower energy for the evening like a movie.
If everyone does it for each other, or even just like, once a month as part of a hangout idk. take turns helping each other with like, stuff that either piles up a bit and ur KINDA managing but not that WELL and strategies are GOOD but not always attainable etc etc

NAME ETYMOLOGIES, DAENERYS' WILL SHOCK YOU!!!
Hey Guys okay so i was being an insane nerd scrolling through DJP's Valyrian glyph lexicon and remember how Aegon comes from Aegion (iron)? I Have Found More. I'm not sure if it's me looking for patterns where there are none, but here are my guesses:
JAE-, as in JAEHAERYS and JAEHAERA
jaes, which variably means 'deity', 'god', 'goddess', 'gods' making it a theophoric religious name, or jaedos, meaning 'summer'
BAE-, as in BAELOR, BAELON, BAELA
baelagon, which variably means 'help' 'assist' and 'aid', or baes, which can mean 'top' or 'apex' or 'apex' or 'zenith'
RHAEN-, as in RHAENYRA, RHAENA, RHAENYS
rhaenagon, meaning something like 'meet' 'discover' 'seek' 'encounter' 'find' and 'know', and also 'begin' according to the high valyrian wiktionary
(I'm unsure if names like Rhaegar or Rhaella, without an N, still stem from this)
RAEL-
raelagon, meaning variously 'love' 'cherish' 'jealous' 'keep' 'maintain' 'revere' and 'pawn'
(This fits the name 'Rhaella' better, but begins with R- and not RH-)
NAE-, as in NAERYS, or a feature in names such as DAENAERA
naejos, meaning 'breast', 'chest', 'front, and 'pecs'
(a little funny, but does conjure feminine associations)
AEN-, as in AENYS
aeny/aena, meaning 'support' 'brace' and 'buttress'
(refrain from making any aenys/anus and buttress jokes)
VAE-, as in VAEGON
vaedar, meaning 'cash', 'silver' and 'coin'
LAE- as in LAENOR, LAENA
laes, meaning 'eye'
and finally DAE- as in DAERON, DAEMON, DAENA, DAENYS, AND DAENERYS
daez, meaning 'free' 'freedom' and 'liberty'
