coming home and looking at this face clears my skin, waters my crops, my depression/anxiety for the day is gone and i feel like i am home

There’s a real misunderstanding in Take Your Pills when it comes to ADHDers taking stimulant medication.

My medication is just meant to help me zero in a bit more, not be distracted and focused by the constant hum and business of my thoughts and the world around me.

It’s not meant to stop me from being myself or to become a different person. Because my disorganization isn’t a part of me, and it’s something I want to and can fix, with help.

I’m still going to be my bubbly, stimmy, loud self who always has so much to say about everything and loves loves loves animals. That’s not going to change, and I think Take Your Pills need to realize how ADHD truly effects ADHDers rather than assuming how it affects us.

(This isn’t made to rag on/be accusatory towards ADHDers who don’t take medication because they don’t like how it affects them, but rather to point out that there are ADHDers who need their medication and have had their lives changed by it)

I need this!!🤤

i wish you would write a fic where jack and mac go on a cruise together and shenanigans ensue

If I wrote this… this is what I would write:

The Phoenix Foundation agrees to help another agency out by sending in some agents undercover onto a cruise ship. Jack’s like, ooh, yeah, first mission back… until Desi unthinkingly jokes about how she and Mac hooked up the last time they used their covers as a couple. Things get awkward because: 1) there’s been this unspoken but heavy *something* between Mac and Jack ever since Jack got back, he’s started to let himself get excited about it, and now he thinks he maybe he’s just been imagining it; 2) Desi had thought that Mac had told Jack about the hot mess that had been their ill-fated hook-up and is PISSED at herself for potentially messing up Mac pursuing Jack the way she’s been encouraging him to; 3) for this reason, Desi has vowed to pursue Jack FOR Mac and get them together, and Mac is sure that this is A Very Bad Idea. (Desi is many wonderful things, but a likely matchmaker isn’t one of them.)

Meanwhile, Mac is more determined than ever to tell Jack how he really feels. But the agency they’re helping? Is Sarah’s agency. She and Jack will be posing as a couple at the same time as Mac and Desi. And Sarah and her husband have recently separated… So that’s not a nerve-wracking turn of events for Mac. At all.

Cue a variety of awkward interactions, misunderstandings, compromising positions, and probably some outsider POVs of people trying to figure out who among the four of them is cheating with who.

YAAASSS!!!! Sometimes it starts as just staring…. but then you get the creeps who will follow you. Be aware of your surroundings and if you see something happening/happen, don’t be afraid to “get in the line of sight” or saying something!

You can’t hurt me. Westley and I are joined by the bonds of love. And you cannot track that, not with a thousand bloodhounds, and you cannot break it, not with a thousand swords. And when I say you are a coward it is only because you are one of the slimiest weaklings ever to walk the Earth! The Princess Bride (1987) dir. Rob Reiner
