#FEELS LIKE AN ASSIGNMENT

[milk-lover]

Sobbing uncontrollably reading through a dissertation about the college experience of students with ADHD. It is like reading a report about my life that just says over and over "My experiences are real. My hardships are real. I am not lazy, I am not dumb. My struggles were not my fault, and they were not a moral failing. The failure was with the system, not with me."

Here's a line that got me in particular:

"Hotez et al.(2022) compared the health, academic, and non-academic capacities of a nationally representative sample of U.S. first-year college students with ADHD and without ADHD. Students with ADHD self-reported lower academic aspirations and more feelings of depression and overwhelm, ranking themselves lower in their general emotional health. The fact that students with ADHD scored in the highest 10th percentile for many non-academic traits, such as artistic ability, computer skills, creativity, public speaking, social confidence, self-understanding and understanding of others, compassion, and risk-tasking, suggests that this population has strengths that are frequently underappreciated in academia."

(the paper is a thesis called "Understanding the Collegiate Experience for Students With ADHD" by Gia Long, 2022)

#adhd #actually adhd #i often hyperbolize but i am dead serious when i say sobbing uncontrollably. this is why i was putting off this assignment. #1000 years of hell to professors who assign self-reflection papers /hj #i dont feel comfy posting the pdf bc its not mine butttt.. i will share it to people who dm me. #edit: pages 80-85 #edit: thank you to everyone who reached out and asked for the pdf!! i wasn’t expecting this reaction #keep reaching out I’ll keep sending it #if anyone is interested but struggles to read academic papers pls ask me for help bc I’ve gotten a lot of practice with them and am Glad to #expand someone’s access to a paper like this

ngl one of the most useful things i’ve internalized from doing art online is never tell people what to criticize. don’t preemptively apologize for things or point out where you think you fumbled, it’s just priming people to notice minor issues that might not actually matter and hit you where you’re sensitive and throw you off your game. don’t tell people your weak points. if it’s a genuine problem they’ll point it out

#especially not if they’re the professor grading your assignment!!!!!!!!!! feel so bad for my friend #i cant tell him it now bc it’ll come across as mean but i feel so bad :( he kept apologizing for things he didn’t need to and it made him #seem unprepared. when he actually had 95% of what he needed and apologizing made it LOOK like he didn’t #text✨ #i’m making it sound very dramatic here but it’s straight up helped me so much with my anxiety #the above doesn’t apply if you’re looking for constructive criticism kr any thing #i’m very specifically talking about stuff like posting art online or giving a presentation or whatever

You’ve most likely answered this before but what breed exactly is Machete? I’ve been trying to figure it out for a while I’ve thought maybe a saluki but the ears arnt right.

In theory his breed is fictional Podenco Siciliano, but he's not a purebred example. Out of existing dog breeds he looks closest to (and is related to) Ibizan Hound.

But sometimes I see Silken Windhounds that also kind of remind me of him. They just don't have the characteristic bat ears.

#I usually just default to calling him a sighthound #I feel like that tells you enough about what kind of dog he is without going off on needlessly convoluted breed tangents #answered #anonymous #Machete #Vaschete lore #I don't own any of these photos I'm just showing them as demonstration #specific breeds and breed names aren't a thing in-universe #I don't think they call each other labradors and poodles and schnauzers even if that's what they look like to us #different dog types emerge as result of natural variation and certain characteristics become family traits #but in practice everyone is mixed #I'm just assigning some of them more or less fitting real world breeds for convenience's sake #it's just such a quick and easy way to describe the look of any given dog

i feel like idk do people think being transgender is like an innate quality. like transness exists in relation to transphobia. if transphobia did not exist un anyway shape or form transness wouldn't be like a real thing. because there would be no structures in place to enforce assigned gender hell gender would not be assigned. like it wouldn't exist.

#i saw someone say someone was cis and trans at the same time and like #you do understand that if you have a relationship with gender that is not i am my assigned gender at birth #you are trans right #like genderfluid people are trans even when they feel like their assigned gender

The words hung above (but never would form)

#the terror #my art #sophia cracroft #francis crozier #hozier #i guess? #posted this last night. realized it had a typo. got way more upset over that than i should have. bone apple teeth #i still feel like i only have capacity for screencap redraws but my end of semester assignments are due in 2 weeks so i must push #through this somehow. i have one more of these babies lined up though i'll post it in a few days

Through out your posts you indicate that you head-canon Rex as gay, but who’s he got a crush on and or how’d he figure it out?

he likes anakin. hes not happy about it either lmao

#for years rex thinks codys a loser for being so down bad for his general that when he starts falling for anakin codys like OHH OKAY. #HOWS IT FEEL ASSHOLE #my art #star wars #tcw #clone wars #captain rex #commander cody #rexwalker #but yeah i mean since i hc the entire gar sans bly is fruity in some ways or other it was p normal for cadets to get crushes on the trainers #and so like. rex thought they were attractive but just didnt rlly care about romance or anything #so i feel like he always kinda knew but in like a passive way #even after he got deployed and got assigned to anakin he didnt rlly think much of him at first #but eventually his heart started fluttering everytime anakin stepped into his personal space and started smiling around him more #cody eventually had to sit him down and be like rex. vod. you are GAY

the newly vassaled gerudo king is inexplicably handed a baby

#tloz #legend of zelda #ocarina of time #oot #zelda #ganondorf #i actually think he would’ve been a teenager or so around the time zelda was born but. this is just for sillies so #and no idea when he actually swore fealty to the king. i actually feel like it might’ve been a bit before the events of the game #in my head it’s like. the war just ended and impa hasn’t been assigned as zelda’s attendent yet #and newborn baby zelda is somewhat of an afterthought atm and whoever was holding her before suddenly had urgent business to take care of #and ganondorf is like the most visible person in the vicinity and also everyone is treating him like shit because he Just Lost The War #and no one takes him seriously anymore despite Everything so it’s like haha oh ok so i’m just demoted to Giant Babysitter huh #for the next 5-10 minutes or so. i’m not apoplectic or anything rn #already having one of the most humiliating depressing weeks of my entire life what’s one more humiliating thing #meanwhile baby zelda is like *has no object permanence or sense of fear yet* Holy Shit Its Boar From My Visions

genuinely how pissed off do we think Roy was when he threw his LITERAL PRIZED POSSESSION, the last present from his beloved grandfather EVER, a sacred sentimental item he has cherished since he was NINE into the bonfire to be forever burned, only for Richard to then put in sand from somewhat memorable beach sex and Isaac to put in...the only pen he can write his name with? ohhh I just know Roy went home and cried.

#roy kent #ted lasso #jamie is the only person who comes even close to being as open and vulnerable with his item as roy was. #they took that assignment SO seriously and everyone else was just being goofy i feel bad for them #like sam's is cute or whatever but its literally a replaceable photo not a sacred personal item #he literally just prints a new one in s3 meanwhile ROY IS NEVER GETTING BLANKIE BACK

Going to break into your house with pots and pans and yell at you until you reframe your thinking of productivity to include more than just schoolwork or a salary or chores and the like.

Did you do a thing? Was there a positive result for you or someone else?

Congratulations, you did a Productivity!!!

You aren’t ALWAYS going to be able to have the energy to do what we consider traditionally productive. You won’t always have the motivation.

Yeah, maybe you could have spent two hours studying for that test instead of 15 minutes. Maybe you could have cleaned the kitchen instead of the dishes. And? That’s still something!

Productivity is doing things!! Did you eat food and drink water? You did something that helped your body work! Doodled in class? You made art! Even just posting theories and memes on tumblr dot com is a thing! You thought out the post, figured out how to organize it (even if you don’t realize you did that) and you made it! And now other people can see and you DID something and you should be proud!!!

Be proud of yourself or I am going to show up outside your window tonight and scream positive affirmations louder than a cat who has just discovered her food bowl is empty.

#ESPECIALLY if you are disabled or mentally ill or sick or neurodivergent or any of the like #For me with ADHD and oftentimes poor mental health I really struggle to be traditionally “productive” #And earlier today I was frustrated because I was having a difficult time finishing a school assignment. #But also? #I noticed and made a post about a parallel between comic panels. #I’m working on a long post analyzing specific quotes from Webtoon. #I got up and got a water bottle. #Is that not productive? #Does that not produce a result that I and others may enjoy? #y’all have GOT to acknowledge little victories because that took effort and THAT was productive and Im sosososososososososo proud of you!! #adhd #autism #neurodivergent #i dont know what all to tag this as so feel free to reblog with any tags you feel this applies to or apply to you in relation to this!! #productive #disability #actually autistic #actually adhd #rambles

Nahida is kind of the funniest person alive for seeing Scaramouche’s memories and then deciding to compare him to a sad little kitten. She canonically poor little meow meow’s him. Then after he accepts he is kind of poor little meow meow and not a being of pure evil she enrolls him into college as part of her plan to help him gain a sense of emotional stability. Incredible

#wanderer #scaramouche #nahida #hat radish #Genshin #fern.txt #I just feel you can see the moment nahida decides to assign him a kitten fursona in how #she pauses when he starts crying and begging for her to not take the gnosis #you can see it in real time shes like ok. you are kind of tormented and possibly not completely evil #this is extra funny when u compare it to how she is like visibly disgusted to be in dottore’s proximity #fandomferns

might make a more dramatic sketch of him losing a legion arm but for now have this

#what i sketch during assignment breaks lol #he looks like he needs a hand #part two to this would be Venigni and Eugénie working to make him a new arm #the way they would grab him and then RUN to their tools <3 #also #p is def the type of person who both has an INSANE pain tolerance and just grits his teeth and bears most of the pain he gets #i mean #have you SEEN some of the attacks he has to endure #? #i feel like getting his arm slowly ripped off and then having to deal with the constant sparking pain afterwards #would be pretty high on the “ouch” scale for him tho #lies of p #lies of p pinocchio #p #pinocchio #echosong971 #art #digital art #fanart #sketch #lies of p art #lies of p fanart #neowiz #blood #tw blood

I think a death's-head moth is way more fitting for her than a stinkbug but maybe that would've been too on the nose

#also cool bug fact’s: deaths head moths are known to infiltrate beehives by mimicking the scent of bees in order to eat honey #so the stinky sigil on grimora’s card would still fit #no disrespect to stinkbugs but i feel like she could’ve had a better bug assignment #my art #grimora #inscryption

pro duelist jou...jou keeping up with the meta... pov jock at your locals ashes your combo as politely as he can

#playing master duel between assignments...some1 disrupts my combo i am filled with rage but if it were jou itd be fine #joey wheeler #katsuya jounouchi #yugioh #fanart #omg. i have so many thoughts about canon pro duelist jou a la I dont like it. it feels rushed #i dont think its the most thoughtful conclusion with his character looking back at the entirety of who he is #i feel like career-wise he'd shoot for something more conventional that he's still passionate about for the sake of a reliable income #instead of something so dependent on performance #jou's duels have always read more as a means of conversation than competition to me #LIKE OBV he'd still duel for money. having money is nice. but dueling is not his main gig #he has something he prioritizes more that he can comfortably fall back on during the off-seasons #tl;dr i believe. in architect jou #OK enough of that IM STILL BUSY WITH SCHOOL AUUUGHHH but i missed my blorbo
