ADHD Pro Tip: Use Psychological Warfare On Yourself.

ADHD pro tip: Use psychological warfare on yourself.

For example, in order to do long tasks, like folding laundry, I put on the Mario Hat:

The main feature of the Mario hat is that my headset does not fit over it, so when The Bees™ try to put me back in front of the screen, the headset issue forces me to remember why I put the Mario hat on, and back to the task I go

As a bonus, the Mario hat is also a very clear indicator to my housemates that business is getting done, and they have learned not to distract me when I'm wearing the "goofy-ass cosplay hat"

It's not stupid if it works.

Just Finished Hamlet...

Ok, Horatio was 100% in love with Hamlet, right? Hear me out, and most of this occurs in the final act:

Never believe it. I am more an antique Roman than a Dane. Here's yet some liquor left. [He picks up the cup] - Horatio, Line 373-375

This is a reference to the way that, in certain circumstances (death of a loved one, a loved one being defeated, etc) Romans would sometimes resort to sort of... honor killing themselves? He was ready to DIE, to end his life THEN AND THERE, because he knew Hamlet was dying.

Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince,  And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. - Horatio, Line 397-398

Good night, old friend? Good night, buddy pal? Nope. Good night, sweet prince. Sweet prince. Let flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. That's so poetic, I'm gonna cry.

Just the fact that, rather than follow Hamlet in death as he wished, he choses to honor his final wish and carry his story, his true story, and enact his wishes, shows me that Horatio loved Hamlet a great deal. And while it's fun to read some cute homo subtype into it, I also think it's a shining example of selfless male friendship. Horatio and Hamlet were soulmates, platonic or no. Send tweet.

And another thing. This blog is 100%, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, a Laertes apologist zone. He was literally just partying in France. He should've been in the club.

Sometimes I forget hamlet is a classic lit character. In my head hes just my buddy. I forget he’s from the 1500s
