Friend: Okay shoot

Me: I already did the enemies are still shooting

Friend: you have one behind you...

Me: okay got it got it

-------

Friend: Okay now run

Me: ok

Friend: AND shoot

Me: what- HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KILL THE ENEMY WHILE RUNNING

-------

Friend: you don't have to headshot everything...

Me: I don't wanna waste shots

-------

Friend: Okay you should get ot of the titan nkw

Me: nooooo BT I DON'T WANNA LEAVE YOU BTTTTT

Friend: you should run over the wall

Me: I AM TRYING (⁠┛⁠✧⁠Д⁠✧⁠)⁠)⁠┛⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

Friend: what are you doing?

Me: I am waiting the enemies come to me without having to move so I'll take them down one after the other

Friend: they won't move if you don't get closer ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ

[essektheylyss]

was reminded that people get riled up about this the way they get riled up about pineapple on pizza and honestly, as a knowledge org nerd, it is weird and unnecessary 😌

was just wondering how you chose if/when Riley wears his mask. Most of your pieces have the mask lifted off only his mouth but some have it dully on or fully off. I was wondering if there was a specific reason for that or just what you think looks good?

It's a mix of reasons.

The first is pretty simple: I like drawing expressions, faces and most importantly, intimacy. That's why my Ghost rarely ever wears glasses and usually has his mask lifted. It not only shows his vulnerability with MacTavish, but also allows them to kiss, have direct eye contact and be skin to skin. Speaking of, painting realistic skin is very satisfying to me and covering it up with cloth kills me a little. Same with drawing ears, I sacrificed so many good ears in favor of that mask..

Second, I get bored easily. Drawing the same mask/glasses/headset/jacket combo over and over again without any human features burns me out. I knew immediately I needed a face design and different outfits for Ghost, despite really loving his whole look and actually preferring him all covered up. Unfortunately that just isn't in the cards for me, so I switch between fully masked, half masked, bare faced and medical mask to keep him fresh and interesting for myself. Even his body type changes, he goes from twink to more sturdy builds depending on how bored I am with it.

(MacTavish is less of a problem but I do switch it up by changing his clothes, having him be shirtless or fluctuate his muscle mass.)

To put it into a bit more perspective: my art process is jumping between countless WIPs in various stages of completion and artstyles until something happens to get finished eventually - my SoapGhost WIP folder alone is currently at 339 pieces - and if a painting takes me longer than a day to complete, chances are I'll drop it and pick it back up again in anywhere between a week or a year (it's a miracle I get anything done at all).

So I'll do whatever it takes to actually help me continue drawing and manage my constant burnout. Being chronically ill and creative is the worst combo, I think about completely quitting art every other day :')

And third, well. Sometimes it really is simply about which one looks better.

Wait a damn minute, you're eating caldo too?

This was the wrong day to eat caldo and watch rasslin.

[samuelroukin]

how am i literally unemployed (= endless free time) and yet there isn't enough time in the day to do everything i want to do ??

[justtakeout]

hey guys, sorry for being so inactive! work has been really tiring, and i'm too tired to draw hahahaha. 

i set up a trello board so you can also track your requests (and for me, because i often forget things hahaaha lol). You can check the progress on your request here. i know it’s been a while, and i appreciate your patience <333

Only 4 episodes of Dexter left get me out of here

[auntiejohn]

I want to read but I want to listen to the entire lover album

[urlocalwormtoday]

i love watching pd sm. but. but my attention span is not all that strong. and bc I can only ever watch it on my phone (and can't keep it open/running in a different tab) due to patreon, I can't split my attention between chess/other games and processing the words. so I have to lock myself down and deliberately focus on focusing the words until I've turned them over in my brain enough times that I can visualize them

and eventually, after hours of doing this and being able to stave off the understimulation long enough. it finally gets to me. and I have to fully walk away and perform other tasks in order to recharge my little brain machine

this usually leads to me cleaning out my room, or getting a bottle of water, or eating a snack, or pacing and listening to music, or just doing another miscellaneous thing until I feel comfortably ready to sit back down and continue watching TvT

not an actual problem with the campaign itself, pd has been an absolute DELIGHT so far, absolutely wonderful, 10/10 would recommend

jus something I have to battle with each time I sit down to watch a new episode and wanted to vent my frustrations loll

[the-admin-behind-the-slaughter]

what if i wrote fanfic?

ADHD can be such a bitch.

"Have you tried writing things down/making a list?"

"Do you put your to-do in front of you?"

"Have you tried setting alarms on your phone?"

Y'all I am 32. Yes I have tried all of those things. Its impossible to avoid those things. No, they don't work, I have the literal Planning and Habit-Forming Disability. The Noisy Brain Condition. No that isn't an excuse and no, I have no idea how to "fix" it, and neither, apparently, does anybody else.

All throughout elementary and middle school I was provided a planner where I was supposed to write my homework as a reminder. In 4th/5th grade it was a requirement that I get the entries signed off by a parent, and it was checked at the end of the week. If I didn't have it signed off, I would be penalized. Myself and the other confirmed ADHD kids (all boys ofc) were the only ones ever penalized. And that still didn't work.

They stopped the signature babysitting in middle school, but I rarely remembered to use the planner. Within two weeks of school I forgot it existed.

There's a calendar in my kitchen that's still on Nov 2022.

I put up a whiteboard in one of the most trafficked areas of my house and I forget it exists.

I always opt-in for text message reminders for dr.'s appointments, and I will read them, and they will be visible in my list of recent texts, and I still will sometimes forget.

I put up a fucking. Calendar planner. Right infront of my desk above my primary work monitor. Its constantly in my periperhal vision and I still sometimes forget it exists.

If you ask me to do something while I'm in the middle of something else and I don't immediately do it, the task has a very high chance of being forgotten.

Literally, the best solution for reminders I have ever found was writing it on my hands, because my hands never leave me, but that looks like shit and people judge you for it.

No I don't have any solutions but I felt the need to vent.
