ur making it pretty hard to not be curious about aftg like what is going on can you infodump ur worst to me
so basically it's about a guy called neil who's not actually called neil bc turns out he's the son of a HIGHLY abusive mafia hitman and him and his mother have been running from this guy for years which ofc means changes in identity and a SHIT ton of issues ranging from good old fashioned paranoia to lighting cigarettes not to smoke them but to let them burn down bc the smell reminds you of your mother's burning corpse. but neil is obsessed and i mean OBSESSED with this made up sport called exy which is like lacrosse but with the violence of ice hockey and he joins a pro-team despite aforementioned ABUSIVE MAFIA DAD AFTER HIM and guess what! the guy who signed him is called kevin and his ex-team are affiliated with the mafia too! including neil's dad! neil just screwed himself over big time! but who cares when you have exy! enter: andrew minyard. andrew is a blonde, 5ft, ex-juvie, under-court-surveillance-for-grevious-bodily-harm goalkeeper currently working unofficially as kevin's bodyguard and, while we never get an actual diagnosis bc god forbid we handle mental health properly in this thing, it's implied that he has some kind of psychosis and, as part of his plea bargain, is legally obgligated to take incredibly mood-altering medication that makes him manic in exchange for being allowed to stay on the team (aka with kevin who he's VERY possessive of), done entirely for the wellbeing of those around him and effectively against andrew's will. does he stick to that deal? fuck no! but it doesn't stop there! andrew proceeds to spend the entire book being as violent and unpredictable and generally cunty as possible in order to figure out What Neil's Deal Is bc neil is capital S Shifty and andrew is convinced he's from kevin's old mafia cult team trying to hurt him. we spend an entire book watching the three of them wrestle between neil's paranoia, andrew's protectiveness and kevin's desire to Please Can We Just Play Exy. there are some keys involved. someone dies. there are two more books. inexplicably two of the characters can speak fluent german purely from high school classes.

EDIT: Jesus this really got away from me, might try to rewrite/trim this down I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I think it's definitely a key ingredient in the fucked up soup of emotions this game evoked in me. Obviously fucked up child-murder aside, I found I really related to Andrew in a lot of ways, to an extent that kind of shocked me a bit as I was playing the game. Which I think (hope?) was the point really.
I've read an unhealthy number of fan essays about this game lately, and I'm not going to try and write something up to that par of literary analysis right here. This is more to help me process shit.
One point I've seen noted in a few essays is the way the game uses juxtaposition to contrast over-the-top drama and extreme taboos like cannibalism and incest, against far more realistic and authentically crafted elements, like the codependence of the siblings' relationship, or the consequences of childhood trauma and emotional neglect.
I'm literally just starting down a giant rabbit-hole of life questioning and self examination vis-a-vis childhood trauma now, so when I first played through the game, I found myself going through all the familiar motions of minimizing and invalidating some of my own trauma: 'Oh shut up you never had it that bad' 'It really wasnt THAT big a deal' 'Your situation is totally different. Why would you feel that? Don't be dumb.'
Then this line hit me like a fuckin punch to the gut. (Recap: "Andrew was such an easy kid")
I heard this near-verbatim from my own mother when she finally apologized for years of emotional neglect growing up.
It never even entered my mind growing up, or in all the years since, to contemplate whether that could be considered traumatic
I was always 'the easy kid' growing up. I was always the quiet one, the bookish, sensitive kid who never asked for anything or made any fuss or anything really as far as my parents tell me. Pretty much all the way through high-school I was the easy-to-raise kid who did well in school with minimal supervision. I loved reading and science and generally learning about the world, and I was never all that concerned with conventional social norms.
All well and good so far, and my oddities such as they are didn't really cause me a whole lot of active issues in and of themselves. Enter the House of ADHD. Once my brother started to struggle a few years into school and was diagnosed ADHD (and my father subsequently realized he also had ADHD) things took a bit of a turn for the chaotic. Generally this usually involved a coin toss of what screaming-match there would be over dinner and homework that evening, but it was honestly it was anyone's guess what flavour of fucked I would come home to in a house full of ADHD dysregulation. It's worth noting my brother and father are 100% both the Impulsive-Hyperactive type, and it was always these impulsive, structure-resistant qualities that I found so aggravating and stress-inducing.
I've always been an emotionally sensitive person (possibly an ASD thing??) so I basically just soak up the emotional vibes of the household like a sponge, and years of coming home from shitty high school life every day to a whole other round of chaos-fuelled rage and screaming and undeserved lashing-out wreaked absolute havoc on my mental health in ways I'm still trying to unpack.
Even when I was a toddler, my parents would be yelling at my brother for something and I'D be the one to start crying for no reason. Honestly thinking back I think I felt a LOT more anxiety focused on my parents and general household conflict than my peers seemed to. It always amazed me how other people could just...not feel abject terror at the thought of your parents angry and yelling at you. It's only now occurring to me as I explore the possibility of ASD that these extreme emotional responses probably weren't normal to the extent that I felt.
Anyway, around high school I first started struggling (or consciously struggling anyway) with mental health, mostly just garden variety depression and anxiety, or so I thought at the time. It's a bit silly in retrospect, but it took another 10 or 15 years before I would start to seriously consider whether I was neurodivergent in some way as well. Despite the strong genetic links I never seriously considered the possibility that I might have ADHD as well, mostly on the basis of how I tended to see myself as the polar opposite of my disorganized, often-dysregulated father and brother.
Even as we've gotten older, my brother has pointed out numerous qualities that fit the bill for ADHD, but I'd never really given it any serious consideration until I started looking more closely at the Inattentive subtype, which is me to a tee. The fact that my family has dubbed me 'the absent minded professor' since about age 6 should probably have been more of a tip-off there. Speaking of the stereotypical 'little professor', I've also begun to seriously question the possibility of ASD as well, and the various AuDHD testimonies I've been reading have been making a ridiculous amount of sense to me vis a vis my own life experiences, and my relationship with my family's ADHD.
Like I mentioned, the impulsive, structure-resistent aspects of my family's Impulsive ADHD was always part of what aggravated me the most; my brain craved routine and structure and knowing what was going to happen. I operate on plans and schedules and it was tremendously aggravating and anxiety-inducing for me constantly having to revise and adjust my own mental plans to accommodate for whatever meltdown was occurring in the house that day. That structured, routine-oriented part of my brain is definitely part of what got me looking into ASD
Between the two of them, my father and brother's personalities are like a gaseous state of matter; they expand to consume any free space, attention and emotional bandwidth available in the room. After enough times being talked over, screamed down or lashed out at for trying to help and offer some insight, I eventually caught on that trying to mediate these conflicts and come to some compromise or happy meeting was a pointless endeavour. At some point I think I just kind of stopped trying to fight for any attention at all and just kept my head down and mouth shut during dinner. Most of the time I'd just hide away in my room with internet friends or out around the neighborhood if I was particularly fed up with it. Thinking back, it seems like most of life in our household back then revolved around managing my brother's ADHD as he made it through high school.
My mother took on the lion's share of the work here, being perhaps the only neurotypical one in the house. My father, despite being a teacher and quite intelligent, is also very set in his ways and not particularly interested in making any changes to manage his ADHD, having only discovered it late in life. Pair this with his tendency to butt heads with my brother, and that was a volatile mixture at the best of times, him trying to corral my brother into doing math homework? Instant disaster. So obviously, my mother stepped in there.
At this point I was pretty much left to my own devices 99% of the time. Of course I was still absolutely miserable and struggling with depression and anxiety at the time, but I didn't even know how to go about talking about that, much less have the confidence and self-assurance to bring it up to my parents. Keeping in mind also this is probably 15 years ago now in an isolated part of rural Canada. Awareness and discussion of mental health issues was far less prevalent then than it is today, and that absolutely affected my ability to broach these difficult topics as an angsty teenager who was already beginning to feel neglected.
Compared to the seemingly cataclysmic screaming-matches erupting every other night, none of my problems seemed important enough to bother with. Especially given that my family was already so preoccupied dealing with my brother's mental health issues. After a while of this, it sank in pretty quick and I internalized the idea that nobody was going to help me with those feelings and that as far as dealing with my emotional shit, I was basically on my own.
This has already gotten WAY longer than I ever intended it to be so I'm gonna cut it here. Gods help whatever poor soul chooses to read this mess. I started out meaning to make some relevant commentary on TCOAL from my own experiences, but I think accidentally did the reverse
I like to imagine Ms Graves "Andrew was such an easy kid" is like, specifically referring to little boy Andrew who was nonverbal, made absolutely zero noise, communicated nothing, and constantly forgot to eat, and instead just autistically stared at the wall, or tv, for hours at a time without moving
And Ms Graves was so uneducated and dumb at the time that she thought that's how kids were

You're lovely, and I enjoy seeing your blog on my dashboard. I'm sorry this has been such a difficult thing to process. It's always really difficult to rework an image of someone you once thought you knew. However I'd like to just put it out there - sometimes (I think the large majority of the time) news is presented in the most sensationalist way, such that nowadays I make a point of de-sensationalizing any news I read in my head. In the case of the whole Harry's memoir thing- I can sympathize with Harry as a person possibly just wanting to take back some control of the narrative for himself. Not just in the most recent events with family (that I tend to think are less horrifying than the fandom/Twitter sussex squad discusses it anyway), but in all aspects of his life. I do not at all think he's going to put his family on blast. I can easily imagine Meghan reigning that dialogue in; she has the tendency to think before she speaks that he seems to lack. And he loves his family. Similar to The Interview promos, I imagine the publishing house knew to increase the interest by implying it to be a tell all memoir. I think he's just done a lot of growing up that he didn't know he had to do over a short period of time, esp re: implicit bias/racism in the setting of media's blatant attack on someone he loves, and is disappointed by the institution's and his family's response to it. I think he's emerged a more introspective and aware human, albeit a disillusioned one. Yes it breaks my heart to think that Meghan won't get a break from the tabloids any time soon. If I were him I'd counsel him to write it & sit on it for a few yrs. But I don't want to give the media the power to destroy Meghan in my mind, and I pray she & Harry won't either. I think she'll be okay. She's a strong one, and I think he's able to draw that same link for himself and be thoughtful about what he does. No one likes being misunderstood/misinterpreted, and I wouldn't be surprised if Harry's especially triggered by that given his history with the press. Maybe this idea emerged from therapy, idk. I can empathize with that, even if I wouldn't do it myself. I hope and pray Meghan gets the support she needs from him and her loved ones in the meantime. I'm honestly not going to read it. I think the less attention I give the BRF the better off they are, unless they're doing something immoral/illegal (see: Woking pizza alibi). And I think at the end of the day, people will unfairly judge other people, especially public figures that have tragic pasts and are publically fighting with the media. A lot of it is going to be noise and I'm not going to give my energy into figuring it out. I like to think I've got a good sense of who they are as people - flawed but ultimately well meaning and earnest. I'm a huge admirer of Meghan and think Harry got really lucky with this one and I'm proud of him for choosing her in more ways than one. I believe Harry and Meghan are lovely people, and I 100% believe their interview. I believe that there are people in the palace with a lot of unchecked power who deliberately uncovered her and Archie from BRF protection for reasons of believed superiority over Meg & Arch. And they're figuring out how to deal with that as a couple and a family. And it's none of my business past that imo. I pray for them and hope it'll eventually end in peace for them all. Just wanted to add another perspective, and hopefully some levity. xx M
Hi, dear. First thing’s first, I really appreciate that this is off anon lol. I love it when people own their opinions, and it says a lot that you did. So thank you for that.
Second of all, I really appreciate the nuance and perspective that is in this message. I agree that the news is sensationalist, and my initial reaction was based off of that. I did watch the promotional clips of the interview and I believe it did sour my expectations going into it when I watched it nearly a week after it aired. I did my best to stay away from Tumblr because I didn’t want that to hinder my view, but it was impossible to separate the promotions that presented the information one way from what it actually was, and thank you for bringing that up with respect to the memoir because I hadn’t considered it. I will say that my knee jerk reaction is pretty on par with the way I still feel about it 24 hours later, especially since I got the news directly, not from Tumblr or Twitter or anywhere else, but you’re right that it could have soured my view from the very start.
I appreciate that he wants to take back some of the narrative but I think that ship has sailed, tbh. He did that with the interview and now I just think it feels like information overload. At some point, people are going to get tired of hearing the wealthy, privileged, powerful Prince complain about his life while more than 4 million people have died due to a global pandemic in less than 2 years. Not to say that he doesn’t struggle - in the words of Roxane Gay, there is no oppression Olympics (and that can be extended to struggle Olympics) - but people view it that way and will get tired of it, if they haven’t already.
I also agree that Harry’s past with the press has tarnished the way he has handled the media and the public post-exit, when he’s finally in a position to strike back without being somewhat obliged to them as part of the circumstances of his birth. I understand and sympathize with him but I just don’t think the public does, and the public matters much, much more than the perspective of one single American fan, to whom he’s never been obliged, and I simply do not think the public will afford him that same understanding, sympathy, and leniency. The public and the media are critical to his humanitarian work - his mother never realized that towards the end of her life, and I truly don’t think she would have been the martyr/saint she is perceived to be now if she had lived, because she did not know how to meet the media in the middle and eventually that started to piss people off. He’s starting to piss people off now and if it doesn’t bother him personally (which it definitely does), I don’t want it to affect his causes. The Invictus Games, Sentebale, Walking with the Wounded, WellChild, Mayhew, Smartworks, Archewell, etc. deserve better than to suffer the wrath of the media and an apathetic public because their patrons simply will not shut up lol.
I guess my point is that they will be unfairly judged (regardless, but especially due to the way they’re handling things), and I think it would suit them better in the long run if they adopted a different strategy. I really sympathize with the fact that he feels frustrated with the narrative that has been manufactured but I really, really think the narrative will only get worse and worse as he continues to go on and on about how badly his life sucks, basically. Again, I don’t deny that he struggles - we all do, some more than others, especially when there are mental health issues - but the public, to me, simply does not care. My own therapist has told me to simply stop caring about the things that I discuss with him. Not to say that they’re not relevant, important, or worthy of discussion - they absolutely are - but his point is that you cannot change people and you are wasting your energy and struggling yourself because you want to change them so, so, so badly that you’re neglecting your own self care in the process. I hate that I do it to myself and I also hate that he appears to be doing it to himself. I’m sure a lot of this conversation has been brought up in his own therapy, and I’m no professional, but I’m doing my best to heed the advice of my own therapist - which is the opposite of what Harry is doing - and it’s done wonders for me, when I actually can do it.
If there’s anything I know from this whole thing, it’s that Harry is absolutely punching above his weight, love him as I may, and that he adores, adores, adores his wife. He has chosen her from the very second she came into his life and I couldn’t want anything more for him or from her. I’m not going to lie, I would have been in this thing for any wife that Harry chose, because I was here long before Meghan specifically came into his life. However, I am glad every day that he chose her, that he loves her, that he wants to protect her, that she loves him back, that he lives the life with her that he’s wanted as long as I (and I’m sure he) can remember. I love her because he loves her, and I would have no matter what, because at the end of the day, it’s his happiness and comfort that matters to me, that has mattered to me since I discovered him and how wonderful he can be more than 7 years ago. What more could I ask of Meghan? What more, as his fan to the end (annoy me as he may), could I want for him? Who could say anything about her in that regard? If there’s anything that has come of this mess, to me, it’s that Harry loves, loves, loves his wife. I will always be happy for him and I will always be proud of him for choosing her, even if I don’t always agree with the way he goes about it.
I’m looking forward to peace, too. I cannot wait for things to just die out, for them to work things out as a couple and as a family, and for everyone to move on. The family will still do their thing and the Sussexes can do theirs, but I cannot deal with this back and forth, tit for tat, petty nonsense anymore. They’re wonderful and flawed, like the rest of them (except Andrew), and I just hope that they can all come to some kind of agreement or terms that lets this die down. It’s exhausting for everyone - themselves included. If I’m this tired, I can only imagine how tired they all are.
Thanks for stopping by, and sorry for the essay (essays, these past 24 hours lol). I really appreciate your kindness in this message, your presence in my notifications (I do see them!), your nuanced perspective and like I said before, I really, really appreciate that you own it!

Planning Dossier
Why, who, what, where, how?
Context
As a busy uni student that might be experiencing living away from home for the first time, it’s hard to dedicate time to cooking yourself a meal and it can be stressful if you’re not confident in the kitchen. It’s tough for a lot of students to muster up the motivation or desire to cook, and when you’re on your uni grind it’s hard to detach to think about what to make for dinner.
Existing situation or scenario:
Uni student unmotivated & uninterested in cooking dinner for themselves.
Cooking seems stressful & takes time that we busy students don’t want to take time out for.
Impacts on everyday wellbeing:
Acts as an escape from their stress, gets to student to allow time to solely focus on cooking a nice meal
Audience
Profiles: User personae
My target audience for this project are university students who need a little motivation kick or help to get them into the kitchen. More often than not, when students head to university they will be living away from home for the first time. Therefore, they will be learning to cook for themselves which isn’t always easy, especially when university can be so time and thought consuming. They will need an easy and convenient way to grow their confidence and knowledge in the kitchen.
 See’s poster at uni

”I don’t really enjoy cooking, I wish I was better at it but it’s hard to want to spend time making food when I have heaps of uni work to do. Also, following recipes is stressful and Mum Bloggers love to write paragraphs before the actual recipe.”
Occupation:
Full-time student at Massey
Lives:
In a flat in Mount Cook where the kitchen is pretty small (they can only really have two people in there at a time). He lives with two other guys and two girls, they do a flat dinner together every Wednesday night where they take turns cooking for everyone.

Age:
18
Personal statement:
”I want to learn more about cooking but I just find following recipes online so stressful. So I end up just making a toastie or something then go back to doing uni work.”
Occupation:
Full-time student at Massey

In the Cube halls in a 3 bedroom apartment (has to cook for themselves) with two other girls who have a similar skill set in the kitchen.
Access:
Dixie has a 13” MacBook Air and an iPhone X with a crack that goes through the middle of the screen. Dixie uses earphones that have cords and has set herself up with a printer too.
Shared characteristic, values, needs 
Unmotivated to cook/ doesn’t want to dedicate time to cooking
Doesn’t want cooking to be a hassle/chore
Wants to grow confidence and knowledge in the kitchen
Wants to enjoy cooking but just doesn’t yet
Hates mummy bloggers who write a whole essay before you get to the recipe 
Easy access to a library of student-friendly recipes
Needs simple recipes with inexpensive ingredients
Needs to learn to take time out of their evening of uni work to cook themselves a good meal
Wants it to be as least stressful as possible
Objectives 
Is there a current experience?
Other recipes websites
Cooking podcasts
Audio cook books
Point of difference is that it is a website so it comes up in your google search when looking for recipes, which is typically where student would look to find a recipe. So it’s the easy to find recipe accompanied with the easy to follow audio hopefully making it all super easy!
There are plenty of recipe websites, cooking podcasts and audio cookbooks available to internet users will an array of delicious recipes, however, my website combines all the best aspects of each. Point of difference is that it is a website so it comes up in your google search when looking for recipes, which is typically where student would look to find a recipe. 
Because I have made this a website, students can find it simply by typing in a recipe in google which is commonly what student will do.
What is the desired experience?
For uni student to gain a positive mindset toward cooking. They are more motivated to want to do it and no longer view it as a chore or a stressful task.
For students to feel relaxed after cooking and feel good about setting aside the time to make a meal.
My project aims to give students a positive mindset toward cooking, resulting in them becoming more motivated to cook and no longer viewing it as a chore or stressful task. 
Also to help students feel more relaxed during and after cooking and to encourage feeling good about setting aside the time to make a meal.
Barriers or issues that may prevents desired situation or outcome:
What might make people motivated to use the website - ethos, pathos .. ?
Earphones could be a hassle if you have wired earphones that are connected to the device you’re reading a recipe from. Can’t walk around the kitchen unless you take the device with you - solutions: wireless earphones, have a way for the recipe to be seperate from the audio, 
Touching your device with dirty, food-covered hands - solutions: perhaps make the audio voice activated, have the steps show in time with audio so you don’t have to scroll, 
How might we...
Get students to dedicate time to cooking for themselves
Make cooking really easy and accessible for uni students
Educate students that cooking is not only good for their physical health, but their mental health too
The Big Idea
I knew from the start I wanted to create visually-pleasing, food-porn type photographs for the project, I wanted to use rustic and organic backgrounds to inform a ‘homemade’ feel. With this photographic style, I was able to mould my design aesthetic around it.
One of my main goals for my project was simplicity and accessibility, keeping this in mind I designed my website to be concise, with the audio feature (my point of difference) to be my focal aspect. I honed in on my point of difference, working to enhance the audio feature and focus less on the traditional readability aspect of a recipe website. Once I landed on the name Forking Listen, I aimed to maintain that attitude and language throughout this campaign.
Touch points:
Instagram ads - videos of recipes being made
Recipe posters - displayed around uni
Website
Recipe print outs
App - not designing but will show as a continuation for dossier
Justify why I chose this touch point and how it will facilitate my main idea (don’t write about ideation and decisions here, do that in “process”) :
Before:
Ad
I have produced video ads for Instagram, this platform will allow me to best target the demographic my project is designed for. Ideally, uni students will encounter these ads at a moment where they can consider their dinner plans, resulting in them following the link to the Forking Listen website.
A range of recipes will feature in these ads, the link’s landing pages will be the corresponding recipe featured in the video. 
Posters
I will have a series of posters that feature various recipe photos and slogans.
These posters will be displayed across New Zealand University campuses. I would position them near exits to catch people as they are heading home and hopefully inspire them to think of dinner. All posters will have QR Codes displayed on them that will take them to the page of the recipe that matches with the poster they scanned.
During:
Website
The website is the main focus of my project, this is where students can find a library of recipes with paired audio guidance tracks. My website is a recipe based website targeted at university students. It features low-cost and beginner to intermediate level recipes to cater to students who aren’t confident in the kitchen. My website is there to make cooking dinners easy and accessible for students, the audio component is there to encourage beginners in the kitchen and make them more comfortable and confident with cooking. The audio also works to alleviate anxieties, cooking is considered a therapeutic task (Friedlander) therefore if you can be guided through the recipe rather than trying to do it alone as a beginner, it will enhance that therapeutic effect.
The website is also a tool to facilitate ‘trust’ for the users to persuade them into downloading the app. I have focused on just designing a mobile version first, as phones are more convenient for listening through earphones, and it is less likely for students to have enough kitchen space to be using a laptop.
Continued:
App
The app will be there for students who enjoy the recipes from the website and are looking to use it more often. Once they have downloaded the app and made an account, they can save recipes, choose different voices that will talk to them, and add dislikes so they don’t get recommended food they won’t like. They will also have a section that shows recommended meals, this is curated from meals you have saved, previously listened to, or searched for.
Print-outs
I made printouts an option because I know from personal experience reading a recipe from a phone can prove challenging. My audio aspect works to eliminate the problem of needing to scroll but having dirty hands or are rushing to prepare something else. However, I have kept this option as some people still may want it, especially if they want to keep recipes to use in the future. I also thought students could collate recipes they have tried and liked to create their own personal cookbooks.

Cooking is a lot about looking and smelling, you use judgment to determine when something might be cooked, or roughly the right measurements - meditation
⭐️Keep learning 
Students will be learning new recipes, techniques, and mindfulness exercises

Summary/Rationale
I am really pleased with my branding for this project, I’m happy with the logo I created and all my food photos look great in all the touchpoints. I am happy with where my website has developed to, though there are some minor things I could adjust, I’m overall pleased with how it’s turned out. Despite the fact, I had to film the video ad twice (the first lot of footage was really bad quality) I was reasonably happy with how the video turned out. If I had more time with it I would have liked to of done more editing and graphics to make it more grabbing so it’s better suited for Instagram. If I were to continue with this project I would continue developing the app, I’d build more features and aspects that can be tailored to the user. I started by showing how users can add food dislikes and choose the voice of the voiceover but I was thinking of potentially adding a social aspect to it, to highlight the “Connect” aspect of the five ways of well-being. Users can set up a profile and share photos of recipes they’ve made, like and Instagram or VSCO feed. I was also thinking in a way like TikTok, users can record themselves talking through recipes, share it, then other users can listen to their version of the audio. Overall, I am proud of this project, I have put in a lot of time, thought and effort into this proposal and I can’t say there are any major changes I would have made other than just doing more.
