My theory of adhd management is that in order to focus there are 4 things that need to be sufficiently occupied:
Eyes
Ears
Hands (or body)
Brain
And if you aren’t occupying them enough or there’s too many things demanding the use of one, it’ll start to wreck havoc on your ability to do things.
So for example, listening to a podcast. This occupies your ears and brain as you focus on both listening and processing what you hear, but it leaves your hands and eyes completely without anything to do. If you tried to sit down and just listen to a podcast by itself you’d probably get unbearably bored and stop doing it.
But if you pair that activity with something that uses your hands and eyes, like a craft, household chore, or commute, suddenly you’re fully plugged in and can in fact focus better on both tasks than you could if you tried doing them separately.
It’s also why you can’t listen to a podcast while doing homework; you’re trying to use your brain for two different tasks. To occupy your ears while doing homework (which is already using eyes, brain, and hands) you need something for your ears that doesn’t require your brain: music. Specifically music that doesn’t use too much brain power, which is why some people prefer instrumentals or songs in other languages.
Hyperfixation and sensory overload change this by moving the threshold for how much sensory input you need to be able to function. If I’m extremely focused on a craft project (eyes, hands, brain) I might not even need something for my ears; my interest in the project makes up for it. If i’ve had a very overwhelming day, trying to listen to an audiobook while I do some stretches could be too much to process. My brain needs a break.
Video games, which pretty much universally occupy all 4 areas, are basically instant, easy focus wrapped up in a neat little bow. No wonder adhd-havers tend to love them.
If you’re struggling with a task, try looking at which areas it occupies and which are left unattended. Then try to find something enjoyable to fill those gaps, and see if that helps.
I originally wanted to post this while grouping everyone's questions together. But some have been harder for me to figure out than others. So here are the ones I was most sure about!
It does not help that my original draft got deleted somehow- maybe Tumblr isn't the best place to write this stuff down initially,,
This one includes: Favorite Cuddle Positions & Sexualities!
Asked by @legacygirlingreen
"The boys favorite cuddle position?"
× Tech
▪︎ Head in his partner's lap, the courtship, or his partner lying on top of him.
He doesn’t love positions that result in hot breath in his face. But he still usually enjoys being close. Having a partner lay on top of him like a weighted stuffed animal is one of his favorites.
Absolutely not projecting with this one...definitely not
× Wrecker
▪︎ Sweethearts Cradle with his partner on his chest or reversed
He is the cuddliest of his brothers, physical touch is his love language for SURE! He enjoys taking the protector role with his lover, but hearing his partner’s heartbeat is a quick way to lull him to sleep. Wrecker reminds me of a pitbull/ large dog breed that thinks he’s a lap dog.
× Crosshair
▪︎ Tangled Together/Cradle with his head on his partner's chest
He looks for cuddle positions that make him feel protected. Though I think he’d like being a big spoon once in a while!
× Hunter
▪︎ Spooning, he’s the big spoon
Specifically with his partner’s head beneath his chin, as he’d find it most comfortable. He likes being able to protect the person he is cuddling with.
× Echo
▪︎ Spooning, he’s the little spoon
Poor guy just wants to be comforted and feel safe. Having his back covered helps him with that, I’m sure he would also enjoy sleeping on the wall side to amplify that safeness he craves.

Thank you for helping me out! I have five more I want to get to as of right now, most are almost done just want to buff some stuff for them out :])
Random ass doodle of a Tech who just took a shower. Did he shower with the googles on? Well, I don't know, maybe.
♥️😭😭
Missing him sm. Need him to sass people again.
Written in her POV
Hunter- 3.5/5
Wakes up super easily
Hard to match breathing with
Bonus point for trying his best not to disturb me
Wrecker- 5/5
Big, but I don’t have to worry about falling since he holds me in place
Spreads out, I have lots of nooks to curl into
Super warm
Lula
Perfect, first choice
Echo- 4/5
Perfect size feel
Lack of legs leaves me good ventilation
Skin texture is unique—in a good way
Twitches more than the others
Overall, nearly perfect
Crosshair- 3/5
Once he falls asleep in his bed he is out for the night
Sometimes I wonder if he’s dead
Pretends he doesn’t like it, but I broke Hunter and will break him too
Not bad
Tech- 1/5
Hardest part is finding him in a comfortable position
Moves around way too much
Stays up super late
Bonus point because he tries not to move around as much when I’m comfortable, and he goes to sleep earlier for me
Phee suggested I put my entire body weight on his chest/torso, but I think I’m too small and don’t weigh enough.
Batcher- 1/5?
Good girl deserves a pity point
She’s great to nap with during the day
But at night she does not stop licking her paws. Ever.
Hunter doesn’t like her being on the bed anyway
=========
This was inspired by Izutsumi from Delicious in Dungeon who rated snoozing with her party members. I thought it was very cute and wanted to do the same with Omega and her brothers.
+bonus that didn’t make the cut
hmmm,, may have a problem

Hunter - Actively drowns himself
Hunter thinks the best place he could ever be is buried deep into your cunt. He loves the feeling of every jerk of your legs, every single fold and crevice of your sex. Even then he feels like it isn’t enough, and presses himself to you so adamantly and for so long he leaves with his entire face drenched.
I’ve expressed before that his nose is a clit tickler and I still stand by that. He presses against it while he lets his tongue fuck into your hole, letting out heavy breaths that make you sigh and twitch against his face.
He wants everything from you. Wants you whining and bucking into him. Groans into your cunt “C’mon pretty, give it to me. Let me have it, oh, let me give you this,” when he’s making you reach your peak.
Tech - Treats it like a scientific experiment
There’s a method to making you orgasm thoroughly and pleasurably, Tech has discovered, and as a man of logic, it wouldn’t be correct to treat pleasuring you any differently than he does other situations.
The first time you let him between your legs, Tech takes his time to thoroughly take you in, and he collects his observations, infers what might make you cum the hardest, the fastest, and soon after he begins to run his “experiments.”
He concludes quickly that it’s all about the combinations of stimulation and how they’re applied, how hard or gently he sucks your clit in his mouth while his fingers probe your entrance, the speed of his index and middle pumping into you while his tongue gently licks around your folds. Tech won’t rest until he’s figured out everything that makes you click and cum.
Wrecker - Wants to be your chair
If you think Hunter is messy about how he eats your pussy, you haven’t seen Wrecker yet. This boy wants to be so roughed up and drenched you’ll be in need of a shower before he even gets his cock wet.
And he wants you to sit. Not hover, not squat, sit. You may express insecurities or worries of hurting him at first, but Wrecker is extremely adamant it’ll all be alright. I mean, come on. The man is huge, and any worry of crushing him is gone the instant he grabs onto your hips and situates you right on him.
Wrecker is incredibly eager when he laps at your cunt, tongue and fingers reaching any place he can, encouraging you to move and grind all over him so you can get your fill. If he gets your spend dripping down his chin and trailing down his neck, that just means hes given you and you’ve given him everything you can feasibly give, and he can wipe it away with a pussy drunk look on his face before asking if he can make you come again.
Crosshair - Does it more for himself than you
You could reasonably argue that Crosshair likes eating you out more than you like getting eaten out. This man craves it like he’s addicted, forever hooked on your taste, your body, every twitch and sigh and slight movement of your body forever ingrained in his mind.
Somehow, despite giving, he manages to be selfish. Crosshair is groaning into you, whispering things he knows you can’t hear because hes talking to himself (or your cunt). Even through that, he makes it good for you; being selfish doesn’t mean it won’t be enjoyable for the receiving party. If he’s slow and thorough about it (which rarely happens) he can make you see stars with the gentlest of pets. But usually, you come fast and hard. And no matter what, he makes you feel good.
Echo - Slowly but surely
Echo is probably one of, if not, the most romantic when it comes to eating you out. He doesn’t want you to do any work; “Don’t grind your hips, sweetheart. I’ve got it. Just feel good for me.”
Giving is something he feels is necessary to show his love and appreciation in the bedroom, so he wants you to lie back and let him make you fall apart at his own pace. And Maker do you fall apart.
Echo knows every single rhythm with his licks and pumps and sucks, every pattern he could follow that will make you feel so good your eyes are brimmed with tears once you do finally finish. But he’s quick to rise up and kiss them away, whispering little nothings while his hand traces the curves of your body, easing you back down from the high.

You can’t tell me this didn’t happen
Echo is coming back and is gonna be a main character is a clone-centric animated series? I’m feeling blessed.
Have an Echo in his undies 💙❤️
Not sure if I’ll work on lining the rest of the Echo designs next or start lining another member of the batch 🤔
Squeezing him until he squeaks like a dog toy
