every time i have a manic episode i blow like $500 on supplies for some random activity like yes this will be the hobby that saves me

PSA ! if u search 'hobby swap' 'neurodivergent hobby swap' or 'adhd hobby swap' on facebook there are tons of groups where u can trade supplies from ur old abandoned hyperfixation hobbies so they don't go to waste

Very tempted to drag some people into another one of my obscure intrests

Anyways check out no evil it’s been running for a 10 years and it’s on YouTube for free but it’s only got ( 47 episodes about an episode a month) and it has a really cool lore and some really fun characters.

“The architecture of the Minotaur’s heart is ancient. Rough hewn and many chambered, his heart is a plodding laborious thing, built for churning through the millennia. But the blood it pumps—the blood it has pumped for five thousand years, the blood it will pump for the rest of his life—is nearly human blood. It carries with it, through his monster’s veins, the weighty, necessary, terrible stuff of human existence: fear, wonder, hope, wickedness, love. But in the Minotaur’s world it is far easier to kill and devour seven virgins year after year, their rattling bones rising at his feet like a sea of cracked ice, than to accept tenderness and return it.”
