hope you feel better soon!
I am riddled with ailments, but I stay silly!
#ask#non mdzs#My health journey has been: Hernia -> acid reflux -> Vocal pain due to aforementioned reflux -> chest infection.#I'm terrified to know what's about to hit me next. Please let it be something kind. PLEASE.#The consequence of living with linguists is that you'll wake up with a wacked up voice -#suddenly you're sitting you down in front of a program called something like Praat having your shimmer and jitter levels calibrated.#They gave me a GRBAS of 33012. I have a fun thing called a pitch break where a whole octave just does not exist.#My vocal pain was bad enough I ended up seeing a speech pathologist and that whole experience was super neat!#I learnt a lot about voice - to be honest I might make a little comic on it after some more research. Fascinating stuff.#For example; your mental perception of our voice modulates the muscles of the vocal folds and larynx.#meaning that when you do have changes (inflammation = more mass = lower frequency)#your brain automatically attempts to correct it to what it 'should sound like'. Leading to a lot more vocal strain and damage!#And it gets really interesting for trans voice care as well - because the mental perception of one's voice isn't based on an existing sampl#So a good chunk of trans voice training is also done with the idea of finding one's voice and retraining the brain to accept it. Neat!#Parkinsonial Voice also has this perception to musculature link! The perception is that they are talking at a loud/normal volume#but the actual voice is quite breathy and weak. So vocal training works on practicing putting more effort into the voice#and retraining the brain to accept the 'loud' voice as 'normal'.#Isn't the human body fascinating?#Anyhow; Now I have vocal exercises and strategies to reduce strain and promote healing.#Which is a lot better than my previous strategy of yelling AAAH in my car until my 'voice smoothed out'.#You can imagine the horror on the speech path's face. I am an informed creature now.#I'm my own little lab rat now. I love learning and researching. Welcome to my tag lab. Class is dismissed.#I'll be back later with a few more answered asks </3 despite everything I'm still going to work and I need the extra sleep.#Thank you for the well wishes! And if you read all of that info dump; thank you for that as well!

I think a lot about Leo standing up for his brothers in the things that really matter to them.
Like- Leo is the one who immediately pushes Mikey and Donnie into finding Raph the second it’s clear that their oldest brother is missing because he knows Raph can’t handle being separated like that.
Leo is the one who stands up for Mikey when Mikey wants to go on a solo mission, actively vouching for him and being the one to convince Raph into letting Mikey go, because being independent and proving himself just as capable of standing on his own two feet as everyone else means so much to Mikey.
And Leo defends Donnie’s honor in particular when his brothers’ intelligence is insulted because Leo is well aware of how important Donnie’s smarts are to him - and how important having those smarts valued and acknowledged is as well.
All this goes right into just how well Leo knows his brothers. For as much as he’ll tease or fight with them, he knows them, and he loves them.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rottmnt headcanons#rise leo#listen Leo loves his family SO MUCH#and like it’s no accident that Leo is consistently the one to give pep talks that#very notably#are less ‘everyone as a group’ and more ‘all of you individually’#it’s heartening to see honestly and like#it works with how he is as both a person and as a fighter#he knows people he knows them so well he knows how they work what they’re like#which is SO USEFUL for subterfuge AND portal/teleportation strategy#my guy is charming his charisma comes from his understanding of people at an individual level#when he wants to be he is very very good at that#he’s still a teen who is too cocky for his own good at times but that does not negate his stellar other moments#he can be selfish he can be mean he can be rude but when push comes to shove he is so quick to stand up for his family#Mikey’s statement at the end of the movie about how Leo NEVER gave up on THEM is so important because it’s not JUST about the movie!!#that’s Leo as a whole he will never give up on his bros#portal jacked is telling of this too because although it has a lot of comedic moments#never once does Leo stop looking for a way to get his bros back#they’re everything to him#he’s the face man he’s a people person and he’s the number 1 pet turtle which I will discuss the implications of in this essay-#Will also say that when Leo does these moments of standing up for his bros he’s never expecting praise for it#he’s just glad they find Raph he just smiles when Mikey tells him he loves him he never mentions defending Donnie#leo has a tendency to show off fancy glittery moves but his real actions and feelings are sooo much more lowkey#that you have to be actively looking for them to catch them all#and I really really like that about him it’s so interesting HE is so interesting

So Chuuya shooting Dazai is just a fake out death, the bullet didn’t kill Dazai immediately because he was still talking, there is no impact crater matching the bullet shot to his head so Chuuya probably gravity manipulated the bullet, this is all still part of operation “goodbye”. Got it, I can be normal again now.
#still holding on to the theory that they are using an old mission strategy#you can claw this theory from my cold dead hands#bsd#bsd spoilers#bsd 109#I’m still not normal but I need to get back to work…………

once again i am reminded why i prefer bb tumblr even if it’s less active and it’s bc people scream for “old school bb” like bb10 where michelle called libra a skank who should get her kids taken away from her but when leah is told by chelsie tucker likes her, attempts to flirt & hits a brick wall, then gets minorly petty with rubina over it (who was EQUALLY petty about leah) people are like “she’s a jealous hag you have to be a hater to like her” YEAH I AM A FUCKING HATER AND YOU ARE TOO SO WHATS HAPPENING HERE EXACTLY
#bb26#she’s not good at this game so far but#straight up saw a back and forth where two girls are like ‘if you like leah you have to be a hater’ ‘i know she reminds me of my college#roommate who i had boyfriend problems with’ so you admit you’re projecting??? LETS SPEAK ON THAT#meanwhile i have all the casuals & [redacted] icons blocked on here so it’s all people going#‘this house is stupid and fun’ yeah!!#i’m sorry for bitching about twitter i’m logging out of there for the night aksjdjd#‘tucjer’s gate is based on game’ leah’s entire strategy is flirting and its WORKING

is it just me or is bioware spoiling way too much about the game . talking about gameplay improvements is one thing but revealing story and companion arcs seems very insecure to me bc now the mystery is gone when people play for the first time . seems like they're trying too hard to prove that their game isn't garbage after that first trailer but this is not how you do that
#show gameplay#show how side quests work#show how the levels work if it isn't 'open world'#show crafting systems show transmog and a quick demo of how companion approval looks#show us the goddamn character creator already#even just show how the lighthouse works but dont?? start companion quests??#like it makes sense now why the writers were adamant that taashs pronouns were she/her idk why they had to reveal that point of their arc#bc youre NOT supposed to know what theyre going through yet . i liked the mystery surrounding them but ok thats gone#ive never seen this happen b4 i would never promote my game or writing through spoilers youre just sabotaging yourself#luckily for most people their brains are small so they might forget anyway#but still this is a weird marketing strategy#how did larian manage to pull in so many people through a stupid bear stunt and no story spoilers#and bioware has to cry and scream about how☝️🤓solas is good actually and our companions are soso complex trust us please please please plea#and also don't get me started on the character and enemy designs . a downgrade for sure#um lol also its a bit weird that taash is the only nb one but this isnt the post to talk about that .#bioware making their trans rep weird yet again . all we need is for rook to ask taash invasive questions and welcome back krem dragon age#six speaks#bioware critical

“do the hardest task first”
no. just… no.
hot take: this doesn’t work for people with adhd (in my experience/from what i’ve heard from other people with adhd in my life). i recommend doing the easy/moderately difficult stuff first, that way you can convince yourself that it’s all going to be this easy and undemanding. then hyper-focus will kick in because your brain is like, “yeah, we can do this, we’ve got this.” then, before you know it, you’ve completed both the easy tasks and the hard tasks while hyperfocusing.
like, on a serious note, it’s always been easier for me to convince myself to get the most difficult tasks done when i’m already working/in the working frame of mind, not when i’m laying in bed or sitting on the couch, mindlessly scrolling through stuff on my phone, and struggling to start at all.
if the choice comes down to you not starting at all or starting with the easiest task first (which, for me, it often does), always, always pick starting with the easiest task first. sometimes you need a small victory, a little bit of an accomplishment, to give you the courage to take on bigger challenges.
#adhd#audhd#in my experience… ‘study tips’ or ‘time management tips’ from neurotypical people will almost never work for us#they don’t conceptualize time the same way we do#they don’t look at challenges the same way we do#it’s okay to take bits and pieces of their advice#ya know… whatever parts of it work for you#but don’t think that you have to use all the strategies and programs that they do to be successful#because you don’t#all that fake business soft skills/mental health guru/grind mindset stuff is total bullshit#pick strategies that speak to/work for you#it’s okay to fail at things and to have to try again#it’s okay to make mistakes and not get shit done sometimes#sometimes you need a fucking break#it’s okay to start with the easy stuff first and just ease your way into being productive#it’s okay to hyperfocus and work for hours on end sometimes#if it’s hard for you to take breaks when you’re studying and you feel like you learn better if you stay in that hyperfocused zone#than just go until the hyperfocus wears off#then take a break… eat… nourish your body… take care of yourself… and come back later#maybe later is later on that day#maybe later is tomorrow#either way is completely fine#do what works best for you#work with your neurodivergent brain… no against it#pol’s diary <3

I think the reason people have so much nostalgia for 80s and 90s Barbie--even collectors who were too young to have actually had them--is the material and tailoring of her clothing was better than on modern Barbie.
If there was a giant tub of 80s Barbies and a giant tub of modern Barbies and I randomly grabbed one doll for each then, yeah, I think the odds are that I would find the 80s Barbie more technically impressive.
But looking at Barbie as an entire line, something about her 80s toys feels so . . . elderly. Like an old person's conception of female beauty and fashion, as informed by southern beauty pageants.
It is completely unsurprising to me that Bratz ground Barbie's face into the dirt with their oversize feet when they debuted.
#Barbie#Bratz#Mattel#if you look at the Barbies of the 60s and 70s they are much more fashion conscious#like the 70s Barbies have a lot of earthtones b/c that's what Actual People were wearing#whereas the 80s and 90s had so many dolls that were just like 'little girls like pink and big dresses . . . whatever . . .'#the 80s and 90s did have a lot of bright colors and outrageous fashions so that strategy worked for a while#but then Mattel just kept doing more of the same in the 2000s#when earthtones were coming back in style#big mistake#I saw a clip on Youtube#from a Bratz animated special or something#where the Bratz run over a lady who is clearly meant to be Barbie and then exclaim in dismay 'oh no we ran over someone's grandma!!'#it's so shady but so funny

Laurent Mekies on Daniel’s race in Shanghai via Autosport
#I doubt Daniel would have gotten a point anyway#the m-m-s strategy looked good on paper and while it was kind of ruined by the timing of the safety car#I don’t think the RB would have the pace enough to make that final charge on softs really count#I know a lot has already been said about RB’s strategy making abilities#i love that Daniel seems to have a say on what strategies he wants#which after mclaren is so refreshing#and I have to admit despite his quali results; this year and last year he has been really good at making them work for him in the race#but I do feel Daniel’s sometimes a bit too ambitious with his choice of strategy??#by his own admission he chose to start on the mediums in Japan and we all know this sorta played into the crash with Alex#on one hand I would rather him go for a more conservative strategy that mirrors what the cars in the midfield are on#on the other hand. now that he seems to be getting his pace back. maybe those ambitious strategies would pay off???#daniel ricciardo#China24

kerejean haters au?! not just keremy haters okayyyy. jeremy is insane so i won’t question how he gets around his convoluted feelings for jean but how does jean ever get over jeremy being a raven? i guess he isn’t anymore but the ravens were famously really bad to jean right? was jeremy not really involved in that?
jeremy being a raven is kevin being a raven is neil being a raven, jean spent so long in that place he can’t really avoid the fact that some of them were and are important to him. as for the second part of your question: jeremy never went out of his way to hurt jean in the nest and most of their clashes while ravens were surface level spats, but that doesn’t mean jeremy liked him either. perhaps if jeremy had been more relevant to the lineup or higher in the ravens’ hierarchy he would have been worse to jean, but as it was he wasn’t in a position to antagonize anyone, especially considering he was going through his own thing with the ravens
jeremy gets outed in the nest pretty early on, and being a sub striker with almost no court time already puts him in a position to be picked on by the others—he has to deal with a lot of ridicule pretty much from the get go, and the homophobic abuse gets worse the longer he stays in the nest. in a way him and jean were in very similar positions in the ravens’ social standing, but jeremy didn’t have the exy skill nor the perfect court title to fall back on, which means he was probably the easiest target of all for the ravens to let off some steam if they wanted to. in most cases jeremy gave as good as he got, and he stood stronger than i think anybody could in the face of relentless social ridicule, but this cost him a lot of the softness he came with and left him the joyless distrustful paranoid mess we see arrive to kevin’s doorstep in palmetto. he was only as awful to jean in the nest as he was allowed to be, which is not much when you’re even lower than he is in the raven hierarchy
#his strategy was Bullying people back when they bully me which at least. worked#kind of.#he never really outruns the rumors or the loneliness or the bullying but he becomes a raven#which means that he learns to accept it#they haze him into one of them and in some way it helps him cope. somewhat better with the abuse#jeremy’s life in the nest is an entire can of worms and there’s a lot of contributing factors#that made him such an easy target in his first year#but by his fourth he is already integrated into the hivemind and though it still hurts he lives with it#being a raven comes before his pride or personhood#which means the homophobic abuse (and all the other little things. the horrible experiences. being taken advantage of) is bearable if he ca#still be a raven#asks#jeremy#raven among doves
