(I've also got ADHD and fully respect if it's Option Three there and you'd rather I never asked about it again. Sorry if that's the case.)

Ahahahaha yes, it's still in the works and no, you are not causing physical pain by asking about it, although I did actually laugh out loud when I saw this 😂 Anyone is free to continue prompting my about it as encouragement to work on it! (Also I'm still surprised at how that Ianthe post took off - I very genuinely almost didn't post it because it was just sort of a passing thought at first lol)

The Mega-Theorem hasn't been posted anywhere because it's not finished yet lol. I also have ADHD and I was massively hyperfixated on working on it for several months and The Hyperfixation Shine has worn off BUT it's definitely not abandoned by any means. I did post the current table of contents a while back as a sneak peek, which I can share again here!

Several sections are pulled pretty directly from posts that I've previously made, which are all in my tlt meta tag. As an aside, I'm glad someone else is finding my tagging system useful lmao. I love being able to go back and browse specific tags for art or meta or whatever and I get a kick out of knowing other people do too lol.

I mean, I get the point you're making but it would explain their relationship with cocaine and amphetamines as normal everyday medication.

Perhaps not so much. As I understand it, amphetamines were first synthesized in 1887 and didn't come into widespread western pharmaceutical use for another 40 years, and cocaine was first used pharmaceutically in something like its current form in 1880, as a surgical anesthetic (although medicine with coca leaves involved has a far longer history, of course).

asdjkhknl. I actually had nooo idea who "The Crimson Knight" could be when Hira said that so my little mind was set racing trying to work it out (...) and then in the final scene of the show I just

There’s this new-ish thing going around at the moment that where people are identifying as HSP, or “highly sensitive person”, and most of the things they are describing are neurodivergent issues. But they don’t want the stigma of being associated with Autism or ADHD, so they label themselves as “HSP” so they can say “oh no, there’s nothing wrong with me, I’m normal. I’m just a highly sensitive person”. I reblogged a couple of posts about it I think it was last week? and how a lot of the “girl-boss” professionals are being targeted with it by life coaches.

And you know what, neurodivergency is a spectrum, so chances are they can’t relate to some of the things we talk about. But the way they’re choosing to define it whilst also distancing themselves from ADHD and Autism—and also now telling people “oh don’t be silly, you’re too X to be one of those people. You’re just Highly Sensitive” is ooft, yikes. Big old ableist red flags right there.
