    This seems to imply that death is the only way we’ll ever escape that pile of clean laundry you have yet to put away.

      Maybe the whole trope of “Vampire Lord manipulates thralls by promising to turn them into vampires, but never actually does it” is actually just because of ADHD causing them to never get round to it.

        It’s not that they never get around to it. It’s that the thought of taking on the responsibility of thralls is so paralyzing that they cannot muster the willpower to get it done.

        “Hey boss, you ready to bestow eternal life unto us and forever bind us to servitude?”

        “Shit, I forgot dude. I’m sorry. Still have some prep to do but I’ll keep you updated.”

        That’s a lie. ADHD folks forget a lot of things, but not the horror that is being locked in your useless body watching the clock tick down while you scream internally to just DO THE THING INSTEAD OF TORMENTING YOURSELF FOR HOURS, DAYS, WEEKS, or god forbid CENTURIES when the fix is a simple bite and being fucking honest with your thralls, hoping they understand.

        Another hour passes. Executive dysfunction doesn’t care. Not like you can metabolize your medicine for it anymore.

          Wholesome plot twist: the thralls to be know. They don’t really care about the conversion, they just think you’re cool and see you struggling to manage your lair. The conversion is just so they can help you out after death.

      Yes, I have one there as well. I even need it a lot of the times, would improve my life somewhat if put together. But there has been no hint that this would be the year.

    I recently played Curse of Strahd and that dude had food that had been sitting out since before he was a vampire and entire rooms full of cobwebs.

    Connically they do! Or maybe something else

    If being chased by a vampire, the advice is scatter seeds on the ground, the vampire will be compelled to stop and count them

      “Canonically.”

      And this was pretty funny in The X-Files, when Mulder spilled sunflower seeds. The vampire drops to the floor and starts counting, spitting at him, “You dick!

      (Yes, that it’s a core part of adhd unfinished protects - it’s not that we don’t abandon some projects or just don’t want to do them, that to, but the memey is about the projects we would like to do, even enjoy, about projects we think about daily, about projects that give us anxiety through sheer fatigue of thinking about it for so long. We are exhausted.)
