#I'd just reblogged that other adhd post and wanted to add something like this but it didn't feel appropriate

[lovelylovelyartist]

This will come out a little rambly, so I'm sorry ahead of time, but I had some thoughts and I just want to get it out.

I was 13 when I first started adhd drugs. At that time I was a depressed kid, who didn't know where she belonged or why she was so awkward and weird. She didn't know about bisexuality, and it'd be almost 10 years until she met other people that didn't feel like a guy or a girl, and that she was they, not she. She also didn't know that OTHER people had trouble keeping schedules, doing their homework, staying still in classes, doing chores at home, breaking focus when something really had her attention. She'd been told by teachers and parents most of her life that it was a moral failing, that "I forgot isn't an excuse, because if you really cared about it you'd remember." (if you ever want to see an adult Max cry, here's how).

That depressed kid tried Riddalin.

And Hated it. With every fiber of their being.

It made me feel slowed down. It made me feel like a muted version of myself. It made me feel like I could be shuffled to the back of the classroom, and I'd be a good little kid that can put up and shut up now. It made me feel less in general. I was lucky enough to have a mom that let me drop it, despite her saying in retrospect that I was doing well in school and at home.

Fast forward about 10 years. I'm in my early twenties. I've realized a lot of things about myself, and have a better picture of who i want to be. I've started seeing a psychologist, who pegs me for ADHD the second I've walked in (20 minutes late, crying because I'm so ashamed, fidgeting up a storm). Over the next couple months we go through rigmarole getting a proper diagnosis, preparing a case file, etc, so that I might try medication again. I'm leery, because of last time, but I do.

And pretty much the first time I take it, it feels like putting on clean glasses after having blurry vision for my whole life.

It's the same medication, more or less. It's on a person 10 years older, who now actually WANTS to exist (Most of the time), and whose symptoms and presentation has changed so they WANT the chatter and unending racing thoughts to calm the hell down, and whose gone through hormonal and mental changes that 13 year old Max hadn't yet. But this time, something feels different.

There's more to this story, about how fucking awful I felt and how I had the question of "How the hell did I LIVE like this before?!" when I could no longer get medication due to supply order issues, but this feels too long as it is. Long story short, doc changed medications around so we have a temporary solution while the supply chain evens out, and now that I have medication again, it's the same goddamn feeling. I feel like I'm driving in the drivers seat, not trying to drive from the back seat. I can do stuff I want to do again. I don't feel like I'm going to crash my car.

What Ive taken forever to actually say is not everything will work for you at every point in your life. Bodies change. Brains change. Hormones change. Sometimes what didn't work for you in the past might work for you now that youre in a different place and time and body. Sometimes, it's not a bad thing to try something again.

(Barring the stuff that yknow, actually almost killed you. don't be willing to try that again maybe)

⚠️ I don't mind my Art being used for PFPs BUT YOU MUST CREDIT ME. ⚠️

If I've known you or followed you for a longer while you are free to ask to just add me there and not join the server itself, I don't mind it either. I'd love more buddies to talk to.

Asks are likely to be always open as well as my PMs unless something dire happens, so feel free to shoot a message anytime! I don't bite!

At that.. feel free to ask these Alagadda goobers ;)

_______

DO NOT :

- Reblog my artwork with hate. (Ex; specific character praising and bashing another one involved. I deeply love all the characters I draw and it really saddens me when I see that happen.)

- Ship my Rubedo with Nigredo.

- Whitewash my characters.

- Tag my work with Br/ght. Refer to the BYI section for insight.

- 049-J hate. Just don't, please.

BYI :

- As someone with new access to psychiatrists and medications, I am still trying to figure out just what exactly affects us. It is important to note that the i take BPD and Depression meds and as well am on a list for possible ADHD and Autism. Mood outbursts and unintentional blindness to how I speak is bound to happen and not intentional. Please, let me know if I accidentally say something hurtful.

- Despite having taught myself English for 2 to 3 years it is still not the best and I don't know a lot. Have patience with my grammar and be polite. I am also learning French and Spanish and on the same page in those regards.

- People who still use Br/ight, I /gen won't block you or anything. You can talk to me and everything. But please do not tag my work with his name! Only THEN will I take any action, especially if it's under artwork I make of any of my friends' versions.

- I would likely prefer that people under 15 don't interact with my blog, unless I already know you and you already follow me for a longer time. Then you're chill! I won't block you or anything, it's moreso for your own good than anything, really.

- Talk to me about my hyperfixations and I'll love you for YEARS.

DO NOT INTERACT :

- If you think I owe you explanations about my personal life. What I want to speak of freely I will, what I don't, I won't.

- Basic DNI criteria.

- You hate on furries 'just because'. I'm not one, but I'm not ignorant to people just having fun.

- If you partake on discourse every second of your life and try to drag me into it. I don't have the emotional stability to deal with that type of stuff.

- If you plan on acting like a jerk and drastically change my character designs into something that erases their traits.

MORE TO BE ADDED SOON.

ARTIST WELLNESS

Hello everyone 🤗

I shared this on Artfol and thought this might come in handy for artists here on Tumblr.

I wanted to create a collection of artist wisdom about physical, emotional and mental well-being for all artists.

SO PLEASE REBLOG THIS POST WITH SOME TIPS/ HABITS THAT HELP YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF . I'D BE SO GRATEFUL!❤️

I'd go first. These are the things I try to do or keep in mind to take care of myself.

1. Every Sunday, I do a deep stretch. I focus on my fingers, wrist, arms, shoulders, neck and back. The entire art making process puts a toll on our bodies (and posture :)) so doing these stretches helps to loosen up the muscles. I just search artist stretches (or *insert muscle here* stretches) on YouTube and do whatever I like. 💪

2. I have a pomodoro timer app. I have adhd so it's hard for me to keep track of time when I am working on an artwork. I work for 25 mins, then take a break for 5 mins. During this break, I get up, take a stroll, drink water, eat something, lightly stretch and look at non-screen objects or talk to my family. 🪻🌼

3. I keep the curtains open in the room where I am doing art. I am lucky to have a park near my home so I get to see trees, but even looking at the sky or having open space helps with creativity. 🌳🌳

4. Before any art practice, I take a soft cloth and gently wipe my tablet and stylus. I want to feel gratitude for having the resources to create art, so I touch them and feel their texture and send thanks to their service (very Marie Kondo of me ik 😝). I do the same with my pencil colours and sketchbooks and such. It helps me emotionally feel more connected to my supplies and art in general. 🧘‍♀️

5. Because I have a timer app, I also sometimes use it to switch between artworks. This is something that I learnt on Artfol (shout out to the community ❤️) but it helps when I am feeling frustrated with the one I'm working on.

6. I try to NOT do art everyday. This is more for adhd reasons because when I go into hyperfixation mode, my life is consumed by the said hyperfixation and I burn out. I love art and I don't want to do it so much that I start hating it. Yk like those songs you listen to too much that you can't stand them. So take a day (or days) off! It's important to have hobbies independent of art. 🏋️‍♀️📚☕

7. Social. Media. Detox!!! Who doesn't love sharing their art and getting compliments?? No one. We are all human and praise makes us happy. We feel seen and heard. But social media is a bit bittersweet. I love sharing art, but when it doesn't get attention, I feel rejected. I love looking at other artists' work, but sometimes I can't help but compare. It's human psychology. So either put a timer on the apps to limit usage or take a day off from them altogether. I do a bit of both, depending on my mindset and dopamine levels on the day tbh. 🐾

That's all I can think of for now. I hope this helps someone. 🥰

Feel free to add your wisdom. And share this post with your artist friends.

Have an awesome art experience! 🎨🎨🖌️🖌️🖼️🖼️

[phdmama]

hello! i've been following you for ages and haven't directly interacted, but am always pleased to see something you've reblogged/posted on my feed ❤️ we've got this 'nice ask day' thing going on so i'm poke my head out from the shadows to say hi! i have two questions for you. please feel free to answer either, both, or even none - whatever’s most comfortable for you! 1) do you remember the first fanfic you ever read? 2) if you could redo your phd journey, what would you do differently?

Hello pal!! so nice to meet you! :-D

So I will say my friend and I in high school were writing each other what I now understand is self-insert (or friend-insert) rpf at like 16, which was long before the internet haha. The first fic I read, I can't even remember how I found it? But I do remember it was a Drarry fic, 8th year, and ended with HP getting railed over a stone bench in a courtyard after a party!!

oooo. That's an interesting question! I know for a lot of people, their phd is really hard/lonely but I think it's really different when you're in an applied social science? Honestly, there's not a lot I would change (maybe not date a drug addict while trying to go to school haha but that's basic life advice I'd give anyway, grad school or not). I was really lucky to have some incredible training experiences and to get to do basically exactly what I wanted (which was college counseling). Even the setbacks or failures I encountered along the way ended up putting me in good places (not that they didn't SUCK but yeah). Probably the biggest thing would be that if I could change something, I'd go on ADHD medication way way earlier, it made such a difference to me.

Whoops premature posting haha! The one thing I would say is, don't do your dissertation defense the way I did? I finished my predoc internship, moved back to the Boston area on Saturday, was both unpacking and finalizing my defense presentation for Monday, which I *had* to pass because I was starting my postdoc on Wednesday, and literally needed every single hour to count towards licensure (phd stuff in applied psych is a bit more complicated than just doing your dissertation and defense). And this was after one of my committee members had COMPLETELY fucked me over about 6 weeks prior. He'd clearly not read anything I'd been sending him until then, and was like, oh maybe this could be a dissertation but you need to add a whole other level of analytics and basically double your results and discussion chapter. Which I did, but that fucking sucked.

[toucandrawz]

Hello!!! :D

I'm Toucan! I'm a minor, so nsfw/18+ accounts please don't interact with mine! Even if it's just liking or reblogging my stuff, it makes me uncomfortable.

I’m a he/they trans guy and prefer you use both interchangeably!

If you've seen my account before it's most definitely for my drawings of CoD MW characters as merpeople! It's so exciting to see people liking my art on here because of it, so I really hope if you like the CoD art I do I hope you like the other art i do! :D

I use #Toucan’s gay shit to tag my posts, so you'll probably be able to find all my posts under that tag! I'm also tagging my CoD merpeople designs under #mercod but it's not working like the other one? If anyone knows why that'd be helpful lol.

I have ADHD and so I get hyperfixated a lot! My most recent ones have been:

— A Night To Remember (my webtoon, Read it here or here)

— Call of Duty: Modern Warefare

— Rammstein

— My Persona

— Spooky Month

— My Hero Academia

FAQ!

1.) Q - Can I use your designs?

A - ofc! :D I love the thought of people using my designs! Please if you do use any designs i make for anything tag me!! I'd love to see it! :)

2.) Q - Can I draw your OCs?

A - Yes! But I'd prefer if the specific situation or something was run by me first, since I'm very attached to a lot of my OCs and can be quite picky about their portrayal. Please don't hesitate to DM me or ask about anything if you have any questions on their designs or personalities!

3.) Q - Do you do commissions?

A - yes! My commissions are always open unless I say otherwise! Please feel free to DM me on Tumblr or Discord (at toucan_drawz) if you have any questions about commissions or want to commission me! —> see My carrd, and dm me on discord (toucan_drawz) or reach out to my commission email (toucandrawzcommissions@gmail.com)

4.) Q - Can I use your art for my profile?

A - yes! Just please credit me by providing my account for that platform or crediting my YouTube or Tumblr. Please do not share my art as your own!! My art is very important to me and if you use it or share it for any purpose, I would like direct credit. Preferably a link, but just a username works too lol.

5.) Q - can I reference/heavy reference/trace your art?

A - using my art for referencing or tracing in a learning environment is alright. Heavily referencing is a bit of a grey area for me, if it's heavily referencing my OCs that makes me uncomfortable, please do not heavily reference or reference my OCs at all. On the other hand, if you heavily reference my art I'm a bit more okay with that. Just please credit me in all these situations. Please, do not trace and claim and of my art as your own.

6.) Q - What is your political stance?

A - left. So far left. My blog/account is a safe space for everyone and everything, except racism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism*, nazi ideology, and anything along those lines. I don't care if you think that ANYONE doesn't deserve to live based on a stupid ass principle of religion, race, gender identity, or sexual orientation. If you think that, get the fuck off my page and block me. Thank you.

*By Zionism I am in no way referring to being okay with anti-Semitism. By Zionism, I'm talking about the people who justify the genocide of Palestinians because of zionism. Please, do your daily clicks. And if you can, donate. (I also have another blog dedicated to Palestine, so almost all reblogs or links can be found there :])

7.) Q - Can I repost your art?

A - Please don't repost my art unless credit is given/you link to one of my accounts! Please don't repost my art without my watermark (the TD signature) or with it cropped in pretty much any way. I'd prefer it wasn't resposted at all, but if you do please add credit! My art is something I hold very dear to my heart and something I value a lot.

8.) Q - What program/tablet/brush do you use?

A - I use multiple programs! Mainly procreate for a lot of the things I post, with that I use an Apple Pencil (1st gen) and a 9th gen iPad. For the brush, I usually use the teyoid lineart brush that I got off Pinterest, and the hard round brush for shading and coloring. I also use CSP (Clip Studio Paint), especially when I draw on PC, with a pc I use a Gaomon PD1161 . And for the brushes, I mostly use this peachy’s somewhat dry ink brush for lineart, and then the default g-pen for coloring/shading.

9.) Q - do you have other social medias/where can I find you?

A - I do! I have a plethora of other socials, you can find me almost anywhere under Toucan Drawz, Toucan_Drawz, or anything along those lines! I don’t have specific links, since, well, I think I have too many socials to count. But I’m most active on tumblr out of all the socials medias that aren’t basically a messaging app (looking at you, discord).

10.) Q - Can i recreate your art?

A - No, please don’t. My art is very dear to me, and I don’t want it recreated. Imo recreation is different to tracing (in a learning environment) or heavily referencing, because it’s basically just remaking something, but changing it a little or not changing it at all. Even if it’s with a different medium, it makes me uncomfortable. Using the same pose/scene idea is absolutely okay! And if my art makes you feel inspired enough to want to, I’m glad! :D But please, do not recreate my art.

I don’t follow you I just stumble across this repost but what’s the point of leaving comments/feedback if 99% of the time they never get a reply and/or the author ends up ghosting the story 💀 nobody forces anyone to put out the work they do but most of the time the energy that y’all want is mostly never returned.

Hi Anon!

I assume this is in response to my reblog of the post asking people to leave their comments on AO3. (For anyone who missed it, it's here: https://www.tumblr.com/burnishedvictory/739351436811534336)

Several things:

The point of leaving comments/feedback is to tell the author you liked whatever it was you just read. The energy you're returning is the work they put into writing the fic you just read. If the author replies, that's a bonus, but not something I personally ever expect.

Some things to know about fics where the author doesn't reply to comments regularly:

There's about a 99% chance that the author read your comment and loved it. I don't know of any authors who don't love comments.

(Specifically, nice comments. Given that you felt it was okay to anonymously message someone you don't even follow such a blunt message, I feel the need to clarify this. No one wants critique, unless they've specifically asked for it. We do this for fun. If you don't like a fic, the back button is right there. Also, don't ask the author if/when they're going to finish an unfinished story. That annoys a lot of writers. (Not me, personally, but I have many writer friends who it really really annoys.))

Back to discussing fics where the author doesn't reply to comments! In my case, I have ADHD. For whatever reason, writing fic is something that my ADHD lets me do easily, but replying to comments is not. I would love to reply and still intend to, but then another day passes when I haven't actually done it. But my lack of replies doesn't mean I don't cherish each and every comment I get. I keep them in a separate folder and reread them regularly. I'd like to do that with all the comments I get, including not on AO3, but I am just not that organized (see: ADHD), so those comments get lost (which is exactly the point the post you're referring to was making).

I'm also chronically ill, and only have so much functioning time in my day. Other people work full time jobs, raise kids, etc. It becomes a question of priorities - do you want us to work on fics, or reply to comments? Sometimes we can't do both.

Finally, if you read the post you're referencing carefully, it's asking for people who are already leaving feedback in some way to (also) leave it as an AO3 comment. If you're leaving praise in a tag or a bookmark, throw it into a comment on the fic! If you're chatting about a fic positively with your friends, copy and paste the chat into the AO3 comments. (I'll even clarify this one - personally, if people private messaged me a chat like that, I'd be over the moon. I know there are privacy concerns with a chat like that, so you might not want to comment on AO3 with that specific thing. Very fair! But, like I said above, a chat sent to me like this would probably vanish into my memory, as I'm not organized enough to add it to my comments folder. It would be a very good memory, but not easily convenient to reread.)

For you, dear anon, if getting a response and the author finishing the story is that important to you, then I recommend only commenting on completed fics where the author replies regularly. No one forces you to comment, even on fics that you enjoyed that the author spent hours and hours working on. They are free for your enjoyment.

But consider how much energy you're bringing to the table to encourage the authors whose fics you love. Maybe your comment will encourage the author to open the file on a story that's been back burnered. Or if you tell an author about a specific part you loved, maybe that thing will show up in future fics.

Or, maybe, there will never be any indication that the writer even read your comment. But in that case, maybe the writer will get your comment and smile. Maybe they'll tell their friends and family about the lovely comment they got. Maybe your comment will make their day. And maybe you'll never get specifically rewarded for your comment, but you will put positive energy into the world, and who knows where that will lead.

[sylvarantii]

I'd sort of like to go into more detail of my own experience since I didn't want to piggy back too much on the post I reblogged, but it really is very difficult job searching as a person with ADHD and Autism.

I was a caregiver for my brother for around 10 years through the state. It helped pay for my college tuition, but as you can imagine, it didn't leave me with me with much job experience towards my career path.

I didn't really know how to get myself the experience either. I worked up to getting a bachelor's in Graphic Design/Art because I really enjoyed working with the programs and felt it just all fit for me.

But as you can imagine, the job economy is hard to get into and I was not sure where to go from graduation. Obviously internships would've been the answer, but considering I'm a first generation graduate from college and have Boomer parents, they didn't really know what to advise me to do other than what they used to do when they were younger and just keep going to places and handing in my application.

Basically, I had no idea what I was doing and started to wonder after several years if I wasted my time going to college.

I had been sold on that "If you go to college, you're guaranteed a good future" stuff and you can call me gullible, but I just really wanted better for myself. It felt like the only way, unfortunately.

Anyway, after my brother moved into a group home, I was out of a job and my money was draining quick. I was desperate and wasn't getting any interviews no matter where I sent my application in. I tried a call center which was really a terrible decision for someone like me, but what felt like the only choice I had if I didn't want to pursue fast food or retail.

It was miserable. I worked there for 8 months and that job was hell and was so much stress on me mentally. I kept trying to find other jobs, but had no luck with anything. I was unable to sleep some days before going into work and I was having breakdowns.

To add to things, they were forcing everyone to work overtime by the end of my time there and they were incorporating something where you had to work with two screens instead of one. It was just too much and eventually I just had to ask to be let go from the job.

I was fortunate soon after to start a job with an actual graphic design position within a month after that and I loved it. But it wasn't a good fit. I'd make mistakes and I think those mistakes costed my employers a lot of money. I was let go after 2 months of working there and had to keep job searching again.

It takes several months, but I get two job leads. 1 was pretty neat since it was some sort of job where you make designs to place on caskets and pamphlets for a memorial service type of company, but while the offer of getting to work alone was nice, it also felt like something where they wouldn't just ease you into it and you'd have to get the hang of it right away. 2 was with a job that basically was like what I had been doing with the previous one, so I was hopeful it'd be a really good fit and was very excited when they offered me the job. Especially since the other company didn't seem interested in hiring me.

They only kept me for 3 days since I just couldn't work fast enough for them nor get the hang of the job within that time. They never outright fired me, but clearly if they never called me in again, suffice it to say, they found someone else. So we're in the middle of the pandemic, I'm trying to look for work that's remote since I'm too scared to want to work anywhere in office. I fall into a deep depression where I just feel like it'd be better if...something happens. I may not have acted on suicide, but I sure as hell was at my lowest point that I really didn't care what happened to me. It really felt like nothing was ever going to get better.

Eventually, I'm pushed to go and get benefits and am able to get on medicaid and food stamps due to the fact I'm not making an income. It really helped in the long run.

My mom helps me to get an appointment and I go in to get tested, with the doctors confirming that I'm diagnosed with severe depression. I get put on citalopram and suddenly things don't feel so bad. I'm getting better, my body doesn't feel constantly tired and I manage to actually get up and do things again. I over all get a more positive outlook and start to just in general feel better again.

I also get diagnosed for autism and some things weirdly start to make a lot of sense. My mom was hopeful that this would also help me possibly get on disability, but here in America, that is a VERY tricky process and one I tried applying for like twice and had no luck with. I'm personally not interested in trying a third attempt since I don't think the results will be any better.

But! I did soon after land my current job, a graphic design job I've been with for about 2 1/2 years now and it is possibly the best I've ever felt with a job. The work culture is great. People are really nice and pleasant to work with. I feel appreciated in my job and even receive praise for a job well done on things.

It's part time, so unfortunately it's not enough to move out and get a place of my own yet, but it means I can still support myself, help my mom with the house payments and just over all enjoy a much more laid back existence where I can be pretty content.

In the end, it's rough. People like us will have struggles most likely and sometimes you just want to give up. It feels like it's too much. But it's like what everyone says. It does get better. And I'm going to continue to believe it can only (hopefully) get even better from here.

(Knock on wood, anyway)

Just me talkin bout Sonic Prime, nothing to see here

I literally JUST saw Sonic Prime about an hour before writing this, and... IT WAS AMAZING!! I will be honest, I skipped most of season one so I'm kind of a fraud, but I SWEAR I will get back to season 1 in a moment! For now I have all the context I need.

(plz don't chew me out I promise I'm gonna watch it...)

I wasnt gonna watch sonic prime anyway, i just got fed up with all the out of context spoilers so i wanted to see what all the hype was about

ANYWHIZZLE

I'm just gonna talk about Sonic and Shadow for a sec, don't mind me- Okay so we're all aware of Sonadow. It's been a thorn in my side for years, actually. I never liked Sonadow surprisingly, and that's mostly due to how Deviantart portrayed the ship. When I started out as a mediocre writer, (I'm not working as a writer or anything, I just do this for fun) I posted my work on DA while simultaneously enjoying a bunch of STH fanart. I got into the fandom thanks to Gigi's "The Murder of Me," which is pretty popular. ANYHOW, I constantly stumbled upon Sonadow ship art and every single time I did, it was always overly sexualized to some degree. And back then I was very very not okay with sexualizing characters who are clearly within their teens. I still am averse to this today! So naturally, I developed an evergrowing hatred for Sonadow, only seeing it for the shitshow that DA made it seem like. And that's how it was for years to come. For about 3-4 years, I despised Sonadow with a passion, only leaving room for one or two exceptions. (Read "The Heart of a Monster," which is actually here on Tumblr. I've reblogged the comic a few times on this blog.) Then Sonic Prime came along and chucked all that disdain out the window with the help of some Tumblr peeps that I follow. If you saw the first episode then you know exactly what I mean. I saw the first episode of season 1B, enjoyed Sonic and Shadow's dynamic, started to really think about it... Then I too fell down the Sonadow rabbit hole. So far I only have 2 exceptions for Sonadow but I'm not willing for that to change. Sonadow's probably not all bad, it's probably just the horrors of Deviantart that I witnessed. Sure, the cover of a book is meant to be judged, but I don't read books so I can't judge something that I can't even see. Tl:DR, I used to hate Sonadow but now Sonic Prime is making me love them.

CHAOS SONIC!!!!!!!! I love him so much. I already loved them just based on their design alone and from what little I'd seen of them, but then I actually watched the episode, and... Wow. He is a riot. Like. Literally the first thing this guy says to Sonic is calling him out on his insecurities. RIGHT OFF THE BAT THE TWO ARE NECK-AND-NECK AND FIGHTING TO THE DEATH! Here we have a perfectly great Metal Sonic that can fight Sonic and then get back up again after a defeat without needing any at-home repairs! They're the perfect anti for Sonic, since they also just. Get back up again. They don't ever give up, and that's what I love about him! Chaos also just runs his mouth all the time, never stopping to take a breath because he can't even breathe, and that's great! THIS ROBOT IS LITERALLY JUST ADHD BUT ENCASED IN METAL. As opposed to Sonic, who is ADD encased in flesh and quills. Oh, and don't even get me started on Sonic and Chaos's dynamic! The two bounce off each other in a literal and metaphorical sense! Chaos says something, and then Sonic retorts by either saying something in response or does something in response. They can also read each other like open books, as if they've known each other their whole lives, and it's great seeing them play off each other so well! You don't get to see this kind of rivalry/dynamic between Metal and Sonic anymore these days, since Metal has been sidelined to a silent assassin that just wants to get the job done. Him and Sonic don't have a very intriguing dynamic, but Chaos and Sonic do! And I love that! (I'm not trying to imply that Metal staying mute is inherently a bad thing all around, but it's just really refreshing to see a talking Metal Sonic that has a really great dynamic with the original.)

Nine's betrayal makes sense! That's all I really wanna say tbh-

Aight so I'm sorta losing my "Touch" right now and I've been typing for a while. Look at all this! This is an essay! I do have a ton more thoughts on a lot of the other characters like Mangy and the Amy's, and also Sonic's new form! But this is really long already and my fingers are getting tired, so maybe there will be a part two. Who knows!

Thanks for reading my very first post ever, and sorry about how long it is. Hopefully my next one will be shorter.

Anywhizzle, ima go look at Sonic Prime spoilers. Can't wait for the actual season 2!

Updated Boundaries

Most of these are the same as my other blogs, but I'd like to add a few. Please look through these before sending an ask.

Admin and character are both above the age of 18, but NSFW asks are not okay. There are children present.

When interacting w/ an oc blog, do not assume a past relationship with the character. Please discuss this with me in DMs–which you are free to do.

Building off the last point–it’s perfectly fine to DM me for questions about the character, planning lore, etc. I will not rp in dms unless we are friends/mutuals.

Character doubles are a-okay! I will assume a clean slate with everyone.

You don’t have to ask before interacting unless there’s some plans that you want to make. OC blogs are welcome, AU blogs are welcome, anything.

Please do not hurry me to finish threads. I have ADHD and a life outside of the blogs and go through periods of writer’s block where working on long, description-based threads is tiring for me. If it takes me a while, you can ask on an update; if it seems I’ve forgotten, you can remind me. But please do not keep asking me every hour if I will be responding soon. It’s just tiring.

If you have OOC asks, please direct them to either @krisisanerd or @krisgoatpher. Lately I've been more active on the second <3

I treat each blog I interact with as its own separate universe until proven otherwise. So if there’s lore canon to my blog that you don’t much like, that’s fine! It isn’t canon to yours, even if we do interact. ^-^

Feel free to rb things ooc! If I post something and you want to comment on it on your blog ooc, dw! I love seeing comments! ^-^

Feel free to like/reblog spam!

BOUNDARIES SPECIFIC TO XD:

You are free to threaten him. Do not worry about being too violent in his inbox. He will probably just be more violent back.

XD primarily uses he/him pronouns, but he also doesn't give a shit. Consider he/it to be his main pronoun set but as long as you say his name he will generally understand you're talking about him.

He's touch-adverse, demi, and poly. Trying to woo him will, more than likely, not work. He is taken. Find more information about that here.

If you send an ask there is a 99% chance you will get a death threat back.

Requests: Open [ ✨ ] Closed [ ]

Writing for: My Hero Academia + Attack on Titan + Naruto + Fairy Tail

Headcanons & Drabbles for: Jujutsu Kaisen + Haikyuu

Last updated; 06/7/2021

I. It is my choice on the content I write, I'll write anything from sfw to nsfw to dark content depending on my mood. If you don't wish to see certain things on this blog, block the tags or don't follow me.

II. If you are not 18 or older, get the fuck off my lawn before I beat you with a cane. Do not interact with me OR my work on this blog. If you really wanna read my stuff you can access my SFW account (will add when the link works) where I'll also be posting my tame content. If I see you on this account I will block you and you won't have access to my side accounts so if you wanna read my stuff badly enough, is interacting here worth the risk?

III. For my own sanity, I'll be limiting my requests to 10, however there are no limits to thirsts I'll accept. I'll write thirsts and headcanons for Jujutsu Kaisen and Haikyuu however I do not accept requests for them and won't until I understand the characters and their worlds.

IV. On this account I write male anime character x reader, some day I'll expand my reach into female characters but as of now I don't write for them. Down below I've listed what I will, probably will, and won't (hard no) write. I've also listed who I will definitely and definitely won't write for. Don't see the character you want? Ask and see if I write for them! I also write character x my oc, this is purely self indulgent so if you don't wanna read that make sure you block the tags accordingly.

V. Do not under any circumstances share or repost my work on any other site, especially Wattpad and TikTok. The last thing I want is my work stolen and minors being shown the things I create. If you see something that looks like my work notify me immediately.

VI. When making requests, please state specifically if you want the reader to be female or gender neutral, what you want to happen, what prompt you'd like to be used, any specific kinks, etc. (password: jerry) Just be as detailed as possible or else it'll be left for me to interpret and do as I please. I mean, I'll do what I want with it regardless but in order for me to fulfill your request, I need details!

VII. I do not condone any drama, bigotry, or slander of any kind, please leave that shit at the door. Any and all hate anons sent to me will be deleted and ignored so don't bother trying to start shit with me. If you dislike certain content I post or reblog, feel free to block tags or even block me. That being said, if you run across something of mine that you feel needs certain tags, tell me! Sometimes I can't think of every triggering thing so it helps a lot of you point things out to me and I'd be very grateful!

VIII. Remember, I have the right to deny/ignore any requests sent to me for any reason, i.e. I'm busy, disinterested, or uncomfortable. Do not try to guilt trip me into writing something for you! I'm an adult, I work and take care of my mother who lives with me, my life outside of tumblr is more important than whose dick you wanna read about.

IX. You are certainly welcome to share tiktoks, nsfw & sfw twitter links, and hentai with me! Make sure when you send these asks that you put proper warnings and such. My pms are also always open! If I don't answer you right away please don't be discouraged!

X. Personally, I do not like ships. I dislike the toxicity of that part of fandoms and want nothing to do with it, so please do not send me ship related content.

XI. I have adhd and dyslexia, if you find mistakes in my work please be nice about it if you're gonna point it out. Nothing is more embarrassing to me than proof reading something ten times only for someone for rudely point out mistakes I missed.

XII. I have no update schedule for fics unless stated otherwise, please no not rush me! I also have a mania disorder so things will sometimes take me a long time to finish. Please know I'm doing the best I can!

[adhd-headcanons]

I was wondering if you could maybe put a picture with the character that are shared? I get it if it's an oc or something, but if it's possible i'd love to see what the characters look like

This is actually something I thought about long and hard early in this blog's life, and I decided against it. There are a few reasons for that. If you (or anyone reading this) can think of good workarounds, I'll be happy to reconsider, but here's what I decided:

1. Images aren't accessible to everyone, and I don't always have the time or executive function mecessary to add a description, which would slow down how soon I can get submissions queued.

2. Given that some of our posts include long lists of reasoning, images might make some posts even longer, to the point of being annoying to scroll past.

3. There are other ADHD headcanon blogs which do post images, and I figure there's some overlap in our content, meaning that pictures of characters are attached to ADHD headcanons elsewhere.

4. It's not something I could do as a standard. A lot of the characters here are from books or podcasts with no official art or character design. How would I choose which artist's interpretation to present as canon? Am I familiar enough with the character to do that? (Spoilers: Usually I am not.) What if the artist doesn't want me using their art? How do I know that a submission with fanart obtained the artist's permission in every case? Should I just close submissions to all characters I can't get art of? I certainly don't want to do that; it would limit submissions from certain fandoms, especially small fandoms.

In the end, I decided that if someone submits a headcanon with a picture, or if I reblog one, that's fine - but it shouldn't be something I add to every headcanon. I hope that doesn't spoil things too much for you, anon.

[serene-aesthetics]

Welcome to my tumblr :)

Hey dudes! The name's serene-aesthetics, and the game's moodboards. If you want more info, my pronouns are either she/her or ae/aer and you can just call me Serene if you want I guess.

My tumblr's named after my main account @wishingforserendipity so you can follow that if you want to, I don't actually post anything at all there, basically I just reblog on occasion and that's it.

Anyways, I should probably just get onto the important moodboard stuff.

Posting Things

Requests should be open and anonymous all the time unless I start to have issues, but legitimately don't expect to fill them in any sort of timely manner. I have pretty bad ADHD and a host of other shit going on right now, so requests are basically just what they should be: asking nicely and maybe I'll do the thing in the next two weeks. If you want to, feel free to DM me to check on how I'm doing and I'll be sure to give updates on when I'll be able to do your request since I do check my DMs.

On a related note, I won't be the super frequent poster that I know a lot of you guys are used to, and I hope you're okay with that. I might try to fill the space by reblogging from a few other moodboard/aesthetic accounts so you guys can follow those, so be on the lookout for that. I'll try to give updates on when I'm planning on being more or less active than usual, and I'll tag them with #info.

Tags

I'll try to just use simple and obvious tags for the most part starting out, like colors and themes and saying it's a moodboard and all that jazz.

If you want me to start tagging something, shoot me a DM (for urgent, trigger-type stuff) or an ask (for preferential-type stuff), and I will 100% add that tag to ongoing and past posts. I might have trouble remembering with the less urgent tags, so just comment that I forgot the tag to remind me.

Asks/Submissions/DMs

As I stated earlier, asks should be open and anonymous all the time unless I have a problem, which I probably won't have since I won't be too active. Use asks for things like moodboard requests, tag requests, or just general random questions for me.

Submissions should be open because well, I don't see why not. If you want me to post a moodboard made by you, I'd be very happy to do so! I don't care if you think it's bad, I know it'll be amazing <3

My DMs are and will continue to be open, and I think this is necessary because of my inactivity. It's a way for you to talk to me without requiring me to be active already, which I think is very useful. Due to this, please limit DMs to triggering tag requests, checking up (nicely!) on if I saw your moodboard request and how that's going, and other things you think are important for me to know. If I get spammed because you're impatient, I'll have to close my DMs, and I don't think anyone wants me to have to.

Image Sources

First off, I'm not going to cite where I got every image from in my moodboards, because I'm only going to do this casually and that would take forever and most people really don't care about citations.

However! If you drastically need an image you saw in one of my moodboards for a wallpaper or profile picture, have no fear. I will keep all of my images saved separately on my phone (most of the time the images in my moodboards will be slightly edited or cropped by me) and from there I'll be able to reverse image search any image you need. If you don't need the source, just ask for the picture and I'll send it your way right away!

Something I count as "important for me to know" that would consitute a DM is if there is a reason I shouldn't be using a picture, whether it's been stolen from an artist, the artist/photographer is a bad person, or something else, please do let me know and I'll take down the moodboard(s) that their pictures are in. If I really liked them, I might remake them with a different picture in the original's slot, and you can request taken down moodboards to be remade as well.

Miscellaneous Important Stuff

Currently, the application I use to edit my moodboards together is Picsart. If that changes, I'll change what it says here or at the very least I'll make another post tagged #info. If you're wondering about the fact that you can post your images onto Picsart, I don't actually do that anymore since I far and above prefer Tumblr to that.

The types of moodboards I'll post are limitless, given your suggestions towards what to make next. As of writing this post I'm leaning more towards the "character + aesthetic" genre of moodboards, but if you want something that's not in that I don't care! Broadening my horizons in photo editing is what this tumblr is for in the first place.

As of right now, I don't have anything more to say. So relax, sit back, and enjoy the vibe :)

How much the PJO books mean to me as someone with ADHD

Hi I feel like no one has had a post like this so I'm gonna post one kinda long story and if anyone wants to add on saying what the PJO world means to them please feel free to reblog with your stories or you can message me with your story cuz I'd love to know:

So when I was in the seventh grade I had an english teacher (who was absolutely amazing btw) who assigned the class to all pick a fiction book to read and write a report on. She took us down to the library and I remember looking at all the books not having a single clue what book I wanted to pick. I despised reading. I was extremely slow and I could never comprehend what was on the page. I could read 5 pages of something and not tell you a single thing of what I just read. I walked around the library aimlessly trying to get away with just picking up a short book and getting the hell out of there when I saw the first book of the Percy Jackson series "The Lightning Thief." I remembered I had just seen the movie a couple weeks before and my friend had complained loudly that the movie was horrible compared to the book and she told me to read the books instead. I didn't know what she meant cuz I actually quite liked the movie. I decided to take her word for it and I picked up the book, not knowing what I was getting myself into. In the first few pages Percy had explained how he had ADHD and Dyslexia and how those learning disabilities had affected his academic life and social life. The more I read the book, the more I realized that, other than flipping letters and words around and not being able to read, his personality, traits and behaviors, the way he talked without thinking of consequences, the way he had trouble focusing on reading, the way he realized, as a demigod with ADHD, he saw too much, not too little, and how he was so fidgety and restless, constantly moving all the time just to pay attention, all of those things were basically describing my whole life. I started to recall memories of times my teachers told me to stop wiggling in my seat or to be quiet and pay attention, or how they would look in sympathy at me when they saw that I had trouble understanding and recalling what I read even though I definitely could read. I remembered that I was always frustrated when I couldn't understand something the first time I tried it. My sister excelled at piano when we were little and then I would get frustrated, slam the keys, and cry because I couldn't get it as fast. I remembered always being the "slow reader" and finishing last on readings when everybody had already moved on. My room (and my life tbh) was a disorganized mess. I realized while reading the book that I might have ADHD. I was 99% certain. I ended up doing so much research on it that I was convinced. I was even more convinced when I had basically devoured the first PJO series in two months, quicker than I ever read before and the most books Ive ever read in that amount of time. My parents were shocked at how I was all of sudden reading all the time. Finally in 11th grade when I became so overwhelmed with the amount of reading junior year required, I told my parents I wanted to get fully tested for ADHD. Thankfully they understood and told me they've suspected for a while I might have ADHD. When the psychologist who tested me finally told me I definitely was ADHD I almost cried. Not meaning to sound dramatic, but I felt like my whole life finally made sense. I was able to get accommodations in high school and now college. I finally knew that I wasn't dumber than my peers. In fact, the psychologist actually told me my IQ was slightly higher for someone my age which was actually common among kids with ADHD. This all became possible because I had picked up "The Lightning Thief" in 7th grade because my teacher forced me to. Since then, the PJO world has grown so much with so much representation for so many different kinds of kids from LGBT kids to people of color and to the disabled (I grew up with gay relatives and friends and it was nice for Rick to depict my type of family as normal. I also grew up as a mixed race girl with a physical disability and, unknowingly a mental one too so it was amazing to finally see people like me be main characters in his stories). I found myself relating to Percy, to Annabeth, to Thalia, Nico, Reyna (as a puerto rican who had trouble keeping friends), Leo(who was hispanic and super ADHD and loved cracking jokes to hide pain), Sadie Kane (as a semi white passing colored girl), and so many of his other characters. I finally found a world where I belonged and I'm never gonna give that up. I hope other kids like me have found themselves in these books as I know I definitely have.

Thanks for reading : ) I'd love to hear your stories so please reblog with them or message me or follow me and I'll be posting a lot more about my thoughts and theories on the PJO world.
