Can confirm via lived experience. I’m known for my sweet tooth and consuming a LOT of sugar daily, which never seemed to affect my ‘energy’ levels the way people say kids get hyperactive on sugar. It in fact simply helped me be steadier.
Since I started taking ADHD medication, my cravings for sweet snacks have gotten down to almost zero, except if I need to make a specifically mentally challenging task. Wish I knew this before I only sought diagnosis past 30 years old…
Oh yeah, this is a hell of a thing. Years before my diagnosis I used to snack hardcore on chocolates and particularly candy whenever I was writing and insisted it ‘helped me think’. Turns out that yup, that was my ADHD brain demanding sugar for the dopamine machine to help me pay attention.
(These days I just keep a bottle of high-glucose sports drink handy and slowly sip my way through it when I need to focus instead of slamming back whole packets of Nerds.)
Y’all I just learned that unusually high sugar and carb cravings are a symptom of dopamine deficiency
If you’re adhd and experience a deep and all-encompassing urge to eat cake at least five times a day boy do I have news for you

I never talk about this here because eating choices tend to come across a lot like evangelism, which I loathe. That said, one of my several side gigs is that I’m a weight loss coach, and I can absolutely confirm that sugar is a depressant and depression in turn causes sugar/carb cravings. I’m not here to tell anyone that they should lose weight or how to eat, but if emotional stability and mental health are issues for you, I would strongly recommend cutting way back on anything made from grains or containing added sugars. Try it for a week - you’ll see a decided difference! When I cut sugar out initially, it was for three months and I felt more awake and more emotionally balanced than I had felt for longer than I could remember. My depression has never been as bad since. It was life-changing!

viggo mortensen’s appeal as aragorn is 70% the voice, 25% the scene where the wild horse saves him from drowning, 12% hair, 8% ‘the beacons are lit!’, 3% swinging around the broken blade, 1.03% spitting soup back into the bowl on a windy day, .3% the way he speaks elvish (which mostly fits into the voice, but its elvish so its special), and .0004% when he kicks the orc head and screams
This is blatant “smoking a pipe with his hood on in Bree” and “shoving the double doors of helm’s deep open” erasure and I will not stand for it.
Reblogging for the reply
I approve of this whole post but also feel compelled to add a special mention of the “Let’s hunt some orc” line. Because

Remember when Moonlight invented love
I’m going to break out this quote every time someone criticizes one of my fics for having too much food/cooking in it!

He’s literally a detective but she still has to try to make this a heteronormative Thing (and it’s also totally toxic that someone prying into their supposed significant other’s private property is “normative” but that’s another can of worms)

Things that will probably haunt you until the end of time:
1) One of the world’s first pieces of published gay erotica (Sins of the Cities of the Plain, published 1881) prominently features an upper-class homosexual with an address on Baker Street.
2) The Criterion Bar, where Watson meets Stamford in canon, was in this period known as ‘a great centre for inverts’ according to George Ives.
3) Some of the most notable haunts for gay men in London in the 1880’s and 1890’s were restaurants and hotels in the West End, theatres and music halls in Soho, gentlemen’s clubs near Pall Mall and turkish baths (particularly on Jermyn Street), i.e. LITERALLY ALL THE PLACES THEY CANONICALLY GO TOGETHER!!!
