Hi again 😃 I was wondering if you would feel comfortable with kinda elaborating on paranoia ( I think you said you have it yourself?) this is the first time I have seen it represented in media properly, and have also lately been questioning wether I have it or not, as a person with adhd and autism. I’m not really sure how to phrase this well but if it’s okay with you do you have any tips/parts of paranoia that could maybe help me in my consideration on wether I have it or not (I would get an assessment btw ) Please please don’t feel any pressure at all with sharing, having such good representation already in your comic is epicly awesome already and I don’t think people should have to do stuff that they are not comfortable with sharing.

I love your comic, your art and greatly appreciate your representation it’s so cool and awesome , sorry for the long ask I hope you have an nice day 🤩👋😃😊

I wasn't planning to answer this ask but I am in an odd mood tonight and felt it might be beneficial for the both of us. 👍

I'm also autistic, but I think my paranoia also mixes with my OCD, so that may make my experience appear different. I also have never been diagnosed with paranoia, but it is a symptom I've often discussed with my therapists over the years.

For me it has been present since I was around 12, when I would struggle to take the dog for a walk because I feared the air was poisonous or a sniper would shoot me down. (I live in a country that's not had any kind of shooting for decades.) Honestly I'm not entirely sure what caused those, besides the fact I had a lot of unchecked anxiety. I started going to Therapy at age 13.

A lot of things happened between then and age 15 or so. Including my OCD manifesting and a few years of emotional abuse inside my home.

Since then my paranoia has fed my OCD many ideas to use to cause me compulsions. Possibly more relatable-- it has also turned into periods of hyper-vigilance, which is a state where a person is hyper aware of their surroundings and constantly looking for threats and escape routes.

Thankfully all of the above mentioned symptoms have gotten better for me with years of therapy and hard work. Although I will likely be living with them for the rest of my life, it's more like a bad roommate than a danger.

Some advice I can give to anyone who relates to what I've said here is to research things, especially hearing personal accounts can be a huge relief. Another thing is to not ask yourself "What's the worst that could happen?" but "Whats the most likely thing to happen?" It's simple but very helpful.

But yeah, my understanding is that it's more of a symptom alongside other disorders, but I'm not a professional nor have I studied this stuff. My sources are experience and 10 years of therapy. I highly recommend seeking out a professional who gives you a good vibe with their presence.

Also others are free to add to this! ✌️ I'm sending my support to anyone reading this.

Hello! Can I ask/request for a Cybertronian!reader that's alt mode is like goat and the reaction for the RID2015 transformer group?

(Ignore this if you aren't okay with it👍)

I'll still write for Transformers, especially RiD! It's a big, big fav, still. <3 <3 Okay, so here's my take on the visual and a few quirks [take them as you will <3] for said "goat-like" Cybertronian insert! <3 [Will keep it to the 5 main that are usually on screen! [if there are any extras you'd like, feel free to go forth and ask again <3 I am working with what I can, I apologize if it seems brief! <3]

~~~

Bumblebee

~~~

Bumblebee would seem...off-put for a short time in regard to trust, as any animal-featured Cybertronian had seemed problematic or was a cause for concern, especially concerning Steeljaw, Thunderhoof and his other pack members. He'd come to quickly appreciate your headstrong nature once his trust is being earned. He appreciates your determination and even finds amusement from some of your quips back at Sideswipe whenever he gets to be somewhat overly boastful at times. He appreciates creative outlets as well, and no matter yours, he's always asking how your projects are going and if you'd had a moment to listen to any poetic drafts that he had to share.

~~~

Sideswipe

~~~

As snarky, sarcastic, and headstrong as Sideswipe usually is, your headbutts resulting aren't too laced with gratuitous enthusiasm. He can be a handful, and you aren't afraid to express annoyance when situation calls. It took a short while for you to warm up to his flamboyance and outward extraverted nature, but you would both find some equal ground in music tastes and even enjoy roughing up some Decepticons whenever the time called for it! Sometimes it takes a bit, but he's a genuine teammate, and you tend to give him that much of a reminder when needed, as well.

~~~

Grimlock

~~~

Grimlock finds comfort in a fellow comrade with an alt. mode that is non-vehicle, like his own. He enjoys spending what time would allow, especially considering that you both are seemingly high energy as animal-alt modes. Being a 'goat-bot' adds to a hot-headed temperament that requires running off excess energy. Grimlock require somewhat of the same if he gets too excitable or irritable. He's got a big heart though, and you both share that common trait, as well.

~~~

StrongArm

~~~

Depending on whether you're a mischievous troublemaker or a heroic vigilante, would greatly depend on whether you are a comrade or someone in need of a positive role model. She does, however, appreciate your presence on the Autobot's team, and she very much admires your hard work to maintain a headstrong, heroic narrative. She'll probably even ask you for some advice on how you manage to be so headstrong, even in the tougher times. I mean, even if it's part of the caprine/goat nature, you're still grateful that she admires that much, for sure.

~~~

Fixit

~~~

Fixit at first, would probably be a little perplexed by the choice to be heroic as an animal-alt. mode and not directly taking sides with Steeljaw and his unruly pack, and he appreciates the fact that you'd be more than willing to talk any emotional duress out with him when it may seem harder to express any difficulties with any of the other teammates. He does what he can to mediate where you may even find it tough! You also take good care and management to not destroy his things when you decidedly need to scamper about or headbutt something with a tougher hide!

[[I do hope these are of interest to your request! Either way, thank you for sending one in. It was enriching and quite fun to elaborate on!]]

i’ve been following you for a little while and am finally getting around to saying welcome to am yisrael! and welcome to jewish tumblr. if you haven’t seen the yearly chanukah merch ranking yet, you will.

shabbat shalom, gut shabbos, and holy shit, can you believe Rosh HaShanah is in two weeks?! i gotta start baking. we’re making spiced honey cake, apple cider donuts, and butterscotch chocolate chip cookies this year. for a one day holiday.

nobody said we had to show any kind of restraint ;)

i’m grateful for the warm welcome!! ♥️♥️ this will be my first Rosh HaShanah, followed by my first Yom Kippur - i’m preparing myself for a month of great food and rollercoaster emotions. 🥲👍

i didn’t grow up in a jewish household, so i’m having to learn lots of traditional high holidays recipes from scratch - do you (or anyone!) have recipes that you’d be willing to share? not sure if that’s a controversial ask, since i know lots of family recipes are top secret. any holiday advice would also be greatly appreciated!

#im so hype to try new food but i feel a bit nervous asking haha #jumblr

howdy, hope you're doin well 👍 can i get recipes for a vegetarian werewolf? i prefer crunchy and crispy textures, but im trying to eat healthier so things with vegetables that dont dissolve into slime would be greatly appreciated 🫰🫰🫰 tyyyy

I'll do the best I can!

Fried Green Tomatoes

Pan-Fried Asparagus

Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries

Roasted Chickpeas

Grilled Cauliflower Steaks

Maple-Glazed Grilled Carrots

Also some general advice: Do not boil your veggies if you want them to stay crisp, crunchy and flavorful. Some veggies will also lose their crunch with other cooking methods or if cooked for the wrong amount of time, but boiling is like... the worst way to cook veggies.

media roundup june 2023

hey guys guess who just went "oh its the 4th of july. that means that its july" here im going to talk about things i read/watched/played last month! i didnt read as much but did finish a couple books that ive had checked out Forever. ok actually i read a lot woops

books/comics/written media:

fake dates and mooncakes by sher lee: fake dating (obv) premise between a cooking boy and a rich heir! book that made me realized im honestly just not that interested in ya romance anymore LMFAO. pretty sweet and a decent read, but landed more heavily on the expository end of uhh i guess diaspora fiction? than i really prefer. i think i picked this up bc the author got mega cancelled on tyk twitter lol??

bird by bird by anne lammott: book about how to write. i love to read about how people do stuff :3 some of the advice applies pretty universally to creative efforts i think.. made me want to write more too

john dies at the end by jason pargin: DNF. comic/horror about this loser guy who discovers stuff. sigh i tried so hard to like this book its supposed to be pretty 'mecore'...talked about this with alena a bunch but its like hm... i know the sort of casual offensiveness sort of goes in hand with being poor and white and in the midwest and i appreciate how its like that creates its own doomed narrative or whatever. but also i feel like the protagonist would call me slurs or something. also the lowgrade but pervasive orientalism is kinda offputting. probably fun for some other guy! i did enjoy the horror elements though

the goldfinch by donna tartt: literary coming of age about a boys relationship with a painting (the goldfinch). also he flops a lot and its sort of homoerotic i guess? a movie was made of it. so something to note is that ive had this book out on loan since literally december. neil kept on being like hey man just stop reading it LMFAO. thoughts cp'ed from discord:

why does the goldfinch feel like a 600 page leadup to the actual book which is 800 pages

idk at this point im kinda sick of pathetic lovelorn self obsessed semi literary men. like toku men are also sopping and pathetic but i think its more appealing when they are also kind and can be vulnerable. this guy is just annoying and kind of incel coded. like does a grand gesture to make up for the fact that he killed your dog while dogsitting

i actually did enjoy the parts post timeskip but i still think the first two thirds could have been cut or Greatly compressed or interspersed w the present or Something, yk? prose was nice though

the bodyguard by katherine center: romance novel about a woman bodyguard who lives for her job. fresh from a breakup, shes given a new undercover assignment with a handsome actor, recently withdrawn from society. will they be able to break each others' shells....? my mom recommended this to me LMFAO we kind of have different tastes in romance.. ive read a book by this author before i think her platonic scenes are very strong? i wish there had been a couple more of those. also i like how she always includes a life affirming section at the end about how important it is for us to open ourselves up to love etc etc cute but not especially memorable

kiss quotient by helen hoang: (reread) a shy, autistic econometrician decides that she needs to get better at sex, and so hires an escort. helen hoang is one of my faavorite romance authors i really enjoyed this reread although i kinda forgot that both leads say, think and do some pretty embarrassing things. but you know a little embarrassment is endearing and all that.. i still prefer her other book (the bride test) but this one is pretty good too. vivid characters 👍

sisters of dorley hall by alyson greaves: web fiction - a trans woman infiltrates a secret force-feminization program. ok im just cp'ing my thoughts from discord again but i enjoyed it a lot:

my thoughts are that the first like, third? is really really good. it like idk takes the very real trans fears of like discovery and passing and all that and fictionalizes them a bit. but like its still grounded and swag. sooo tense once The Reveal happens n things w steph are pretty normal it gets kinda meandering? which i dont really mind bc i love interpersonal drama even if i miss how tense and scary it was. but also theres only like two major plot threads going on rn and theyre both pretty slowburn. a timeskip would probably benefit tbh like the point rn is kinda like. the 7 year meteor? yeah sorry

like it used to be sort of psychological thriller? and now its sort of more character focus and also surprisingly fluffy.. im surprised that the author has said they have a complete outline bc it doesnt feel very focused atm? but also like i suppose things are snowballing a bit re: revealing the sisters to the outside world

an unauthorized fan treatise by lauren james: a fangirl trying to prove her rpf ship is real uncovers a greater conspiracy. to me if something is able to capture a specific age/vibe from the internet its automatically pretty good. however more and more people are learning how to do that so maybe i should change my standards... i was never involved in All That re: rpf or even fandoms of live action shows until kamen rider? but like i definitely knew people in hs that were sort of like this LMFAO so it felt very familiar. i appreciate the author trying to make that $$ but i dont know if it really needs an expansion/sequel.. the ending is better off with some ambiguity imo

impossible us by sarah lotz: literary romance? a man and a woman fall in love online, but encounter difficulties when they try to meet. ok im just pasting my thoughts here again (spoilers btw):

ok that was a lot of stuff. onto movies/tv:

xo kitty: kitty goes to a school to connect with her online boyfriend, but all is not well. yall this was not good. i guess my standards shouldnt have been that high but to all the boys ive loved before was so cute!! (havent watched/read the others). but like.. the writing was bad and the main actress just wasnt very sympathetic or charming? characters waste time saying "i can explain" until time runs out for them to actually explain, additional (and nonsensical) romance plots are added for no reason, and the male lead isnt even that hot. sorry. also kitty deciding to move to korea to connect with her mom but not bothering to learn a speck of korean and insisting that everyone else speak to her in english really sucks honestly. not even my mom liked it so thats how you know its bad 👎

succession season 1: yesss succession. greg is my favorite cant wait to see him become evil. makes me stressed

shin kamen rider (hideaki anno): reboot of the first kamen rider by the guy who made evangelion. this guy kinda makes the same thing over and over but it looked sick as hell so i wasnt complaining. like stella obstinaterixatrix said, kinda more introspective or even insular to the point of kinda ignoring the usual kr theme of justice but it was still very fun :3 kinda want to watch the original now

ready player one (movie): my parents made me watch this movie. aggressively mediocre.

kamen rider revice and live and evil and demons: pretty fun if you have the disease that makes you think revice is good, but mostly made me miss revice. i think they should have gone more into the clone thing but i always think that so

kamen rider juuga vs kamen rider olteca: two-parter special for kr revice. i forgot what happened in this pretty much immediately after but karizaki was hot

roman holiday: a princess touring in rome escapes her duties for a day, and meets a dashing young reporter. classic romance!! i actually liked this so so much like it actually is very romantic and funny and like deserves the hype. didnt expect it to be in black and white even so audrey hepburn is really hot. (spoilers) more romances should have bittersweet endings though like it hit

kamen rider ryuki: a young man is inducted into a battle royale between those fighting for their deepest wishes, and decides to try and stop the rider battle once and for all. hey guys ryuki is so fucking good for those who have watched madoka magica a lot of it is very heavily based off of/inspired by ryuki! but ryuki does it better. pretty much The kamen rider has so much to say about justice and love and what it means to be a hero and sacrifice and *runs out of air and falls over* also it made me cry. if you ever try kamen rider try this one <3

EDIT OH i forgot about across the spiderverse 100/10 obviously groundbreaking in animation nice take on generational trauma and also like the nature of adaptation and being in a multimedia comics franchise and all that. really hope the sequel doesnt get crunched too bad. oh but copaganda not great 99/10

video games:

twisted wonderland: gacha game where random disney villains are bishie high schoolers instead. ill play chapter 3 sometime soon i swear. gameplay is terrible as with most gacha games but the characters are cute? i feel terrible guilt for being involved with a disney franchise. honestly pretty compelling character writing sometimes though sorry

apico: stardew-like about raising bees (in beta). sooooo cute and the devs obv care about bees a lot in real life. the gameplay loop + breeding systems are a little bit punishing right now though i really hope it gets adjusted. took over my life during finals (woops) and i got like half the bees and then burnt out. multiplayer is fun though!

legend of zelda tears of the kingdom: the next zelda game, now featuring building + vertical elements. yeah this took over my life for two months like it did for a bunch of other people i finished the main story a couple days ago! i might go back to do a couple more of the shrine puzzles, but other than that i think im done. LOVE the vertical elements and also all the little sidequests there are to do and how the world has changed since botw. dragons tears was really good and OMG PROVING GROUNDS. would be a 10/10 if zelda was the protag stop damseling her you guys cmon

paper mario origami king: newest paper mario game, which is a spinoff of the main series where theyre all paper (duh). im about halfway through this, i think? tried it out because of the dunkey video lol and also bc it was free at my library. very charming and inventive, has a really good soundtrack and really funny writing! i know the gameplay was controversial, but im enjoying it a lot (and theres a lot of room for error). might 100% it

it feels like this month i tried a lot of things that i didnt really like LMAO. also a lot of romance. im very happy about finally finishing the goldfinch! the only holdout on my libby is slaughterhouse 5 :P i did find some things that i really liked though! anyways this one feels a bit more scattered but if you got to the ending, congratulations! thanks for reading :3
