23F Good luck dealing with me! // Masterlist // ADHD sideblog

✨WIP/Prompt List✨

These are all my wips and ideas that I've thought to write. If one of them gets you hyped up, send me an ask, comment, or dm, and it might give me the motivation to get my butt in gear and write them (depending on busyness and current frame of mind)! I also may be up to PG-rated meme requests...is that even a thing? idk

They're all pretty happy/fluffy unless noted otherwise. That's just how I roll. All sfw. I do not take fic requests unless it really really strikes my interest cuz if ADHD brain don't go brrr, it ain't happening. Any wips that have posted content will have a link to the first chapter.

So without further ado:

👊 wip, some posted | 👉 wip, none posted | 💭 idea | italics stand-in title

Hate it when TikTok farm cosplayers and cottagecore types say stuff like "I'm not going to use modern equipment because my grandmothers could make do without it." Ma'am, your great grandma had eleven children. She would have killed for a slow cooker and a stick blender.

I’ve noticed a sort of implicit belief that people used to do things the hard way in the past because they were tougher or something. In reality, labor-saving devices have historically been adopted by the populace as soon as they were economically feasible. No one stood in front of a smoky fire or a boiling pot of lye soap for hours because they were virtuous, they did it because it was the only way to survive.

Taking these screenshots from Facebook because they make you log in and won't let you copy and paste:

Yeah I can't stop thinking about how by eating Eve's Apple (a sin), Wicks knowingly and willingly committed suicide (THE sin), therefore ruining his chance of going to heaven. This man is a Catholic priest! He would willingly lose his way to paradise for what? Ruining his daughter's life? He quite literally forsook Grace, the one thing God offers to his people, because of the resentment he felt about his daughter's loss of virginity. What a lost man.

In other things my protestant booty forgot/didn't know about Catholicism while watching ft. prev comments I couldn't leave out

people talk about how we need to bring back "don't feed the trolls" rhetoric for modern internet ragebait and I agree but also I think the most useful thing from the Old Internet that I miss is LURKING

be a lurker. just read things and think about them without feeling the need to weigh in or call out or disseminate everything you encounter. it's so nice and so freeing and it's a good way to learn things.

I have frequently regretted getting involved in shit that didn't involve me online but you know what I've never regretted doing? Lurking. literally lurk moar

There was a bit in Wake Up Dead Man where the wannabe politician complains that he campaigned about All The Hot And Divisive Topics (all of them!) and is like "but the voters wouldnt go for it :( Idk why." and the priest he's talking to says something like "maybe you should narrow your focus. Connect with people, you know? On a more personal level." and the wannabe politician stares at him kinda blanky and then says something like, "what, like, find out what theyre scared of and then weaponise it to make them vote for me?" And when I say I laughed out loud at that, I mean that I think i made the whole cinema jump in their seats from the laugh that burst out of me

So you're telling me that in Wake Up Dead Man, this Catholic Church:

  1. has a notable lack of Mary imagery;
  2. forsook and mocked a young woman named Grace because she had a child out of wedlock when she was young;
  3. literally removed the cross from their sanctuary as part of the campaign of denigrating Grace;
  4. preaches a harsh and cruel interpretation of scripture and entirely neglects mercy (i.e..... grace);
  5. initially rejects the young priest who came to them preaching mercy, forgiveness, love, serving the sinner, etc.; and
  6. ends up embracing the approach of the young priest, who is also an amateur carpenter who literally builds them a replacement cross

Okay but as an ambulatory wheelchair user I loved how Rian Johnson portrayed Simone. He didn't have her be miraculously healed, but had her learn to live and deal with her chronic pain.

Abled people really don't understand how big that is. Like just having an ambulatory wheelchair user is big!!! (I cackled at the scene where she gets out of her chair and someone says it's a miracle and she just goes "I can walk, it just hurts.") But also having her angry that she's in constant pain and trying anything to feel better is so realistic. A lot of disabled people, especially newly disabled people, fall into the idea that they need to be "cured" and that they need to get back to "normal".

Having her accept her disability and making her learn how to still do the thing she loves while still having chronic pain is amazing! Like, the idea that you can continue living after becoming disabled is so rarely shown! Like believe it or not, disabled people can lead fulfilling and happy lives doing things we love!
