In the child's defense, I am 23 and the Rainbow Number Graph is the most confusing thing I have ever seen in my entire life, why did we choose to do it like that???

Thank you @justjudethoughts and everyone who got me to 2000 reblogs!
Apparently, nobody on Spotify has made a Lockwood and Jessica playlist, or even just a Jessica playlist, and I am deeply, personally offended.

I love Peter Pevensie so much I'm going to throw up.
So here's an old edit from my instagram:

Okay, maybe this is too niche but right around the time TTPD dropped I was reading Brideshead Revisited and lost my mind because I realized a few of the songs were ridiculously Julia Flyte coded. So then I thought about ALL of Taylor's songs and realized a lot of them are Julia Flyte coded and so I made a Julia Flyte (Taylor's Version) playlist telling the story in chronological order and I feel like there has to be somebody who gets it.

Being a "high functioning" neurodivergent or a person with mental illness that "isn't as bad as it used to be" is so wild, because it's like you forget that you still have The Thing?
I'm dyslexic, I couldn't read until I was in 3rd grade, and even then a lot of books remained above my reading level (mainly classics) until about 8th grade. I couldn't spell anything until about 6th grade, and my handwriting was atrocious. Overtime and with a lot of work, most of these were corrected, and I type before you now as a dyslexic with a bachelor's in English.
But when I'm writing, I still mess up "your" and "you're" or "too, two, to" or "their, there, they're." I often mean to type "to" and type "the" or mean to type "an" and type "and." It's not because I don't know the difference, my brain just hears the sounds it needs to make the word I am trying to say, and chooses whichever spelling it thinks of first. For a long time I was really self-conscious about it because I didn't want people to think I didn't know the difference.
And then one day I was like "HEY WAIT A SECOND. I'M DYSLEXIC. DYSLEXICS FREQUENTLY MISSPELL THINGS."
Please enjoy my best friend's reaction to my realization:
Moral of the story is that sometimes, when things get easier, you forget that you are still working with a brain that is not neurotypical. I am a "corrected" dyslexic, but I will always be dyslexic. My brain is wired differently than neurotypical brains, and that is always gonna be the way it is. I have found loopholes and learned to work with it, and even learned its advantages (there are a lot!!) but it's still the brain I had as a 3rd grader who couldn't read Dr. Seuss. And that's okay. Sometimes we just need to remember to be a little more patient with ourselves.
So before you look at all the things you "still do wrong" don't forget to look at how far you have come. That bit is much more impressive.

I'm the second.
there are two types of writers.
“this plot has been in my head for 10 years and finally it’s perfect.”
“what if frogs had a secret government?”

Guess I have enough stuff for another sketchdump? ahah!
I have all the four guys “pinuppish version” (this is as close as I might be to a drawing series whitout getting bored) all in one place and this makes me happy. Also yay new stuff! And I have an headcanon on George’s favourite T shirt. Don’t agree? Fight me!
Now a sidenote I feel really guilty drawing these - but I am in time with my work and I really need to sketch in colors to throw the stress out. And this universe happens to be awesome and very greenish. And with very plenty of shit out of my comfort zone. Perfect playground to sharpen my pencils.

I think about this a lot.
Sometimes I imagine the skull saying something super triggering for Lucy, and when Lockwood finally gets it out of her, absolutely verbally *tearing* the Skull to shreds (after all, Skull can't fight back) and threatening all manner of horrible things. Behind Lucy's back, of course.
The skull is an external intrusive thoughts creator for Lucy lmfao "kill your friend, fall to your death, stab that guy" and nobody else can hear him

23 year old me somewhere in between, digging through the archives of my brain because we did indeed have a VCR for a large part of my early childhood, but I would have probably assumed there was a menu — then again, I do remember the anxiety of not being sure where the movie would start, if the last person hadn't rewound it.
ALSO. THE WORD "REWIND" TO GO BACKWARDS. COMES FROM THE FACT THAT YOU ACTUALLY HAD TO RE-WIND UP THE TAPE TO MAKE IT GO BACK? THAT'S WHERE THAT WORD COMES FROM???? I never even thought about the fact it was "wind" as in winding something up.
Younger writers. Please, just know that you could not skip to different songs on a cassette tape, that’s CDs. With tapes you pressed fast forward or rewind and prayed.
Also, VHS tapes did not have menu screens. Your only options were play, fast forward, rewind, pause, stop, or eject.
Y’all are making me feel like the crypt keeper here, I’m begging you 😭

thinkin about a baby of my acquaintance & how when her parents are hanging out & chatting, she’ll almost fully participate in the conversation–politely watching who’s talking, saying something approx the same length & tone of what her parents are saying, occasionally using a questioning cadence & looking at someone specific for an answer, laughing when they laugh–doing everything except actually using any recognizable language

“Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things―trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Silver Chair
