Im Upset About Blood & Cheese

I‘m upset about blood & cheese…

not gonna lie i‘m generally very positive about HotD as an adaptation but this feels botched. first time i‘m genuinely disappointed. you don’t need to adapt the book sentence by sentence but in this instance it genuinely feels like an unnecessary change. it is still unimaginably horrible but it‘s like they took away half of the impact. plus it is another cut to black from daemon actually making any decisions. i hope that at least this will be discussed to some degree in the upcoming episodes.

anyways imma stay far away from any social media discourse outside of this platform because I already know the absolute vitriol this will garner from people who already hate the show/writers to an unreasonable degree and think that it‘s okay to spout insults and accusations at them without restraint.

this is your gentle reminder to stop fighting against your adhd and instead structure your life around it

buy a pack of chapsticks and put one in the pocket of all of your coats and jackets because you always forget to bring one and chapped lips is sensory hell

leave important things where you can see them. if they go in a box or a drawer you will forget they exist

put any appointments or deadlines in your phone calendar As Soon As you get them. set a reminder for a week before, a day before, an hour before, as many as you need as often as you need them.

when that little voice in your head says "i dont need to write that down, ill remember it" that is the devil talking!!! write it down anyway!!

plan for down time. have a few hours at the end of every day to just do fun stuff like engage in your hyperfixations. even if you didnt get all of your work done that day, have the rest anyway. you probably spent the whole day beating yourself up for not doing what you Should be doing, so you still need the break.

if you never eat vegetables because its too much effort to chop and cook them, get the frozen or canned shit. it doesnt go off for ages and you just have to microwave it. theres no point buying fresh vegetables if they just keep going off and being left to rot in the bottom of your fridge

if you struggle to decide what to have for dinner every day, take the decision out of it. choose a set of meals and eat those on rotation until you get sick of them, then choose some new ones and do it again.

its not stupid if it works! our brains literally have a chemical deficiency. you are allowed to accommodate yourself. go forth and stop making your life more difficult than it has to be because "this shouldn't be this hard". it is hard, so make it easier.

NEW MATTHEW FACECLAIM

which is completely unnecessary because no real human being will ever be able to embody the image i have of him in my head but i‘ve turned trying to get as close as possible into an actual game at this point

YOUNG! MATTHIAS SCHWEIGHÖFER

i’m gonna enter another vampire era soon i can sense it…

something that kinda upsets me way more than it probably should is how Kit is constantly drawn as the shortest of the the Thieves in fanart even though he’s literally the same height as James, aka pretty tall. it just feels like people assume he’s tiny because of the character trope he falls into? it feels a little infantilising as well? it just bothers me even though obviously i have no hard feelings for the artists who are all absolutely amazing. it just seems to be an assumption a lot of people fall into easily.

Matthew (about James): We are close, ask anyone.

Cordelia: My husband and his parabatai sometimes have sleepovers. In my bed. With me in it.
