    Walky: In my defense, there was just a whole storyline about girls doing hanky panky, complete with a porn, so I’m pretty sure nobody even remembers that NightGuy was a thing.

    Jennifer: What?

    Walky: Oh, come on, like the plot about starting a webcomic isn’t already meta, I’m owed a 4th wall break.

      That’s a lot of really interesting stuff other people were doing, What was Walky doing that whole time, and if he was somehow omnisciently reading the comic like us and breaking the fourth wall not only is that a badass power (Gwenpool anyone?) but I’d ask for his opinion on the Liz storyline. How does he feel about that? Cause I felt it was fun, but kind of dragged on a bit at points.

            Luck is a very convenient superpower. Kind of telekinesis, but instead of exerting force according to your will or directed by your thought, the power acts independently in your “interest”. Like imagine what has to happen before something can push a roulette ball out of its way to end up on the right number – first the power has to determine the context it’s acting in which probably involves absorbing and managing information on a level physicists laugh at like they laugh at speedsters. It has to basically “understand” what a roulette wheel is, the way humans construct concepts. And then determine what number it should hit, what you personally need from it, which, where does that information even come from? Any luck power as written will be able to do things like these even if you don’t know yourself what outcome you want, or that there is an event with an outcome that could be in your favor, like if a hailstorm forms above you and it needs to push some hailstones out of your way. There’s so much work involved in making good luck happen, saying Gods and angels exist who’ve decided to look out for this person is probably the “most” reasonable explanation.

            Just something I’ve been thinking about for a few months.

    Walky’s a terrible superhero. Not trying to be mean to him, but forgetting you’re a superhero is pretty bad. He also got in the game for the wrong reasons. He doesn’t even have a tragic backstory.

      Depends on how you look at it, I guess. He certainly has a better life balance than Amber did during her tenure, so in some respects, he’s probably doing a good job, even if he’s obviously not as proactive or skilled as Amazigirl.

          The million-dollar question is, does Walky also have this?

      It can do that to us, yeah.

      For me at least, I don’t think I get too stimulated by it, but I do get the dependency going where quitting is agonizingly painful and awful to my mood. I’ve straight up drank large ice cappuccinos and gone to bed an hour later, though this was before I started adderall. Since then, I don’t mix well with lots of caffeine and did get some brain fog when I started qutting altogether.

      I think of it as a control rod in my internal reactor. In my case it works as both a calmative and an antidepressant.

      It’s weird. Just a couple of weeks ago, at the end of a dinner-party, a few even-more-elderly friends and I shared a reminiscence that up until the Seventies everyone had after-dinner coffee and a mint thin last thing, whereas now nobody drinks coffee after noon for fear of disturbing their sleep.

      My sister pointed out that up until the Seventies we all went to bed drunk.

      Funny thing with me, there actually was a point when drinking coffee WOULD wake me up, but regardless of whether that was just the Placebo effect at work or something else, these days it always consistently makes me tired, regardless of how many times I tried to reset my tolerance, so I just quit altogether. Neurodivergence is strange that way I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Would it make a difference if I microdosed caffeine? Have any of you ADHD-havers tried that?

        If you have ADHD and caffeine only serves to smooth you out, micro-dosing won’t do anything. It will probably do even less–it’ll just either make you feel slightly less tired than it would have if you took more, or might help you focus a little better, calm anxiety, etc, but will not wake you up.

        It has nothing to do with your tolerance to caffeine and everything to do with your natural brain chemistry, which changes over time–which is probably why caffeine no longer works for you as it once did.

          Tolerance for Caffeine can be retrained. I used to do it every summer when I was out of school and my need for emotional stability wasn’t as dire. Usually by August all I needed was a single dose every day, nominally a cola at lunch or dinner. Maybe a chocolate before bedtime. I rarely went cold turkey but there were times I could.

      As the apparent odd one out, coffee does help me stay up, but not to any sort of elevated degree. It just tells my brain I’m not sleepy enough to pass out and gives me the shakes after a certain point. I’ll drink a whole pot and never get either manic or drowsy.

      It’s not that drinking coffee makes and ADHD brain tired, it’s that it can make you feel relaxed.

      ADHD brains are chronically under-stimulated, which is part of why they are constantly grabbing onto any and all possible New Things in order to make even a dent in that under-stimulation. It is NOT like mania, where you’re so overstimulated that you have a lot of energy to do All The Things, and appear ‘hyperactive’. People with ADHD are not really ‘hyperactive’, what they are is restless, bored, and desperate to generate literally any kind of stimulation at all. Thus the fidgeting, and flitting from thing to thing, impulsiveness, and inability to focus.

      Coffee works similar to how ADHD meds work, as a stimulant, compensating for under-stimulation chemically to bring the brain closer to a more ‘baseline’ state.

      Severity of ADHD varies from person to person, so how severely understimulated your brain is as a baseline will have a large effect on how coffee effects you, as well as whether or not you’re medicated. Some ADHD folks use caffeine to self-medicate and help them focus, reduce fidgeting or restlessness, etc. For some ADHD people, if their medication is effective or their severity is otherwise low, coffee can work on you about the same as any other person.

      And for others, coffee is such a drop in the bucket that all it really does is make their brain slightly less frantic for stimulation. Slows down racing thoughts, which can make it easier to sleep.

          I’m not sure what you mean, do you mean ADHD’s effect on executive function? (ADD is an outdated diagnosis btw, ADD is now more likely to be ADHD-Inattentive Type now.)

          It’s not really ‘slow processioning speed’ so much at is an impairment in your ability to direct your own attention. The impaired ability to start a task, maintain focus on a task, switch between tasks, or prioritize/plan, as well as impairment in working memory.

      Hmmm.

      First off, gotta’ say that, as far as diagnostics goes, I have no known divergent conditions. However, as far as reality goes, there’s very little doubt whatsoever that I might qualify for a decent handful of different items. So, take that for what it is.

      I have always felt that coffee helps to focus, because my mind is flying 100% too fast, and the coffee helps bring everything into the same speed. However, that’s with a limited intake of coffee (about one cup every two or three hours). If I start chugging the stuff (which is very easy for me to do, because I love it), I start having the more jittery, energized effects usually attributed to coffee- but usually around 2 cups an hour* to get to that point.

      TL:DR, limited coffee is very calming, excessive coffee can wind up being an energizer/exciter.

      *Yes, these intake volumes are fairly common for me. I can easily drink an entire pot of coffee on a regular day.

        Sounds like caffeine addiction. If it is a problem, you might want to try cutting back a little bit on caffeine each day until you are down to nothing, then only drink coffee on a limited basis. If it is not a problem, then ignore this post.

      Well, her big clue with Sal=Amazi-Girl was hearing Walky call Sal a hero after she stood up to Ruth (coming together with a lot of random other details, like Sal’s penchant for self-defenestration and randomly disappearing for hours at a time). So what clues are here to misinterpret?

      There aren’t all that many, really — Billie’s been mostly isolated from the rest of our crew, making occasional cameos but not hanging out enough to sponge up a whole bunch of random details that would make narrative sense for her to misinterpret.

        To be fair, Sal is one of the more reasonable guesses you could make.

        It just happens to be the wrong one

      Lucy. Nightguy actually being a girl is the best cover, clearly.

    Kind of like how Liz is tagged in the comic even though that’s Lucy! April Fool’s everyone!

    Listen, Walky, the terror you inspire in evil doesn’t require actual fighting. The mere presence of you on campus results in a dramatic drop of sign stealing.

      You know what type of superhero Walky would be? The type who fails upwards. Every victory he has is just dumb luck from a unintended mishap because he tried to do something cool it but backfires yet still works out and whenever he gets the upper hand on someone it’s because he was at the wrong place at the right time.

      To be fair, it makes perfect sense for Jennifer to ditch the toxic influences of her past relationships.

        And seek out the toxic influences of her new friends.

        Seriously, what toxic influences? I could see an argument for Ruth, though the big counter argument there is that Ruth did get her to seek help and stop drinking.

      Nightguy was a thing until Walky’s ADHD went all-in on making a comic strip and everything else got back-burnered.

      Billie: If I can find out who Nightguy really is, they’ll HAVE to give me a job at the newspaper!

      Walky: I’m Nightguy.

      Billie: But how can I find out? Maybe someone’s posted photos of him on the Internet…

      Walky: Billie, I’m Nightguy!

      Billie: If I can find some good pictures, I can compare them to photos in the school registry… unless he’s not a student…

      Lucy: Billie, I think Walky is trying to-

      Billie: QUIET, you two! I’m trying to think over here!!

      I mean, I love the guy but “Walky is a superhero” is something I would expect anyone who actually knows Walky to have extreme difficulty fitting in their heads. (“Walky was a superhero until he forgot”, however, makes perfect sense, so..)

    Kind of a hilarious juxtaposition – I’m reading Edgedancer, by Brandon Sanderson, right now, and my reaction to Lift is almost exactly the same as my reaction to Walky.

    I missed when she was more honest about how terrible she is. She still sucked then but I loved her and now it’s like “Jesus Christ, her again?”

    It’s already been pointed out, but it couldn’t hurt to signal boost:

    As I type this, the tags still have “liz” and not “lucy”, despite the fact that Lucy is in this comic, and Liz is not.

    I don’t think that Daisy is that interested in Nightguy. Her fetish is not male superheroes, but female superheroes.

    Say, Jennifer, maybe you could dress up in a costume. The Blue Dragon, maybe? Roam campus, fight crime. Take selfies. Then interview yourself.

    Daisy will eat it up with a spoon.

      Being a superhero would be too much of a “nerd” thing for Jennifer to do. Even if Daisy would love it, I doubt Jennifer would want to do it for long.

      The name would definitely have to be Spider-Jen.
      Unless she went full Punisher, in which case I would be willing to accept William the Bloody.

    A version of Spider-Man No More where Peter gets really busy at school and then notices the Spider-Man costume in the back of his closet and hopes maybe that whole Kingpin thing got resolved on its own.
