Redrew an old drawing from 2023 :3

I know he's feeling at least a LITTLE better on the steroids cause not only is he H O W L I N G at me in true siamese fashion again, he's also taken up his old habit of fetching Random Objects from around the house to bring to me, in this case a large fluffy sock (and in the past week has also brought multiple other socks, some underwear from the laundry hamper, a slipper, a piece of paper, and NOT A SINGLE CAT TOY 😂)

I'm drawing a bunch of old ocs for the heck of it and it's fun remembering and revisiting them all

The fucking improvememt >:DDD

What’s your favorite extracurricular path in HSS?

Easily the jock path. I did sports in HS myself (though it was mostly running sports rather than contact/ball sports), meanwhile I can't play an instrument to save my life and cheer isn't my thing, so naturally the jock route appealed to me the most.

It's also especially euphoric to be a girl jock in sports like football, and even though the teams are mostly male-dominated they still treat me as a normal part of the team (except for Brian in the running minigame and a NPC Hearst player at the hoco game, but they're relatively brief moments and it's fairly in-character for Brian). No patronizing, no tokenizing, just normal.

However, I am a bit fond of the band route because of the extra interactions I can get with Aiden. Siding with him in the conflict in Book 1 gives you a relationship improvememt boost with him, and there are some extra romantic moments with him in the ice cream contest in Book 2 and the bonfire team bonding in Book 3. One of my favorite moments is when you perform the song he composed in book 3 at the concert and they describe how his eyes "gleam with pride". Like, the romance route with him hits so much different between your activities and that's something I appreciate.

Eventually I do plan to do a male MC cheerleader route, as well as a few routes where I switch activities between books.

could use some improvememts but this is decent enougj for now... i was thinking, since anwen admires múirín (probanly choose to get emo bangs cuz of her), what if there was an aspect in múiríns outfit thats also in anwens, which would have been something anwen incorporates from múirín? so i also added a flower clip thing

If you can't handle me at my.... Than you most definitely don't deserve me at my...

My first ever painting in 2015 and my latest painting in 2019 (not finished yet, just gotta add a few small details)

I know it's a very different subject but the blending technique and the mixing and matching paints has improved so vastly and I feel so amazed at myself and how far I've come as an artist.

You ever just feel like you've not improved AT ALL sense you started a hobby and look back at old works and compare your oldest to newest and just go... Holy shit wow.

Hi anon. This is not ok. Screaming never solves a problem. I can imagine from his point of view, threatening to break your phone is a hope to spur you into action with the prospect of losing something of value. This only works if you can but simply refused to do chores. Like negotiating about the price/incentive for working labour/tasks. But you are rather not unwilling but unable to perform the tasks, either because you miss a skillset or because of physical limitation, like your body being repulsed by some sensory input.

As for practical advice, it is very difficult to give advice, without knowing the whole situation and reactions, wether both parties are ready to make a new communication strategy work and whatnot. Be advised, all I can do is make suggestions. You will have to evaluate yourself wether they are helpful or will actually escalate the situation.

Also, some of the methods only work if your dad genuinely believes you want to try and works with you to get things in order. And he needs to understand, changing this routine needs time and patience and there will be setbacks. It won't be a solution, this is about getting an improvememt, ok?

This might actually be the hardest part of all. Don't be discouraged however. Life will get better when you get older, being a teenager is a phase and I am glad I grew out if that. My relationship with my parents even improved somehwat. Best wishes and some advice for you in that regard:

Chores: to not keep forgetting chores, google ADHD tips. For example, use some kind of colored plastic wristbands with littelle nametags. Write recurring chores on them, if you get asked to do things, immediately take the band and put it on. If your dad starts to talk about chores, ask him to wait a moment, so you can get the jar of chore-bands. If it is a non-recurring task, immediatley write it on a piece of paper, with a color and put that unlabeled color on your arm.

Designate a place for the chore paper, like the fridge or a pictureframe in your room. Always place it there. Always. If you see the colores bands you know you still need to do something. But you don't need to remember what, you can read it. When you start tasks, go through all open tasks, start one ignore rest. Repeat.

If you can't perform a task, write down why, is it a sensory issue? If you get stuck because all open tasks can't be done by you, tell your father not only which task but also try to explain why you can't. Work on a solution, maybe offer doing another task, show you want to pull your weight, but for you that chore in particular is a weight you can't push yet or maybe with your range of motion never will.

If you are expected to remember yourself which recurring chores to do, make a sheet for 7 days write down the chores on the days, even if they are only every 2nd or 4th week. Put it somewhere where you start your day and place the jar next to it, like in your underwear drawer. Start your day with the bands you need to do before school, or come back for bands after school.

Also talk to your dad if you need what I call "decompression time". I can never start household chores after coming home from work. I need at least 30-45min me-time. Sometimes I nap, sometimes up to 2h, sometimes I am on tumblr, listen to music or read comics. I need that time, otherwise I can't start tasks but still worry about them and get into a guilty spiral without getting anything done. Nowadays I take "time-off" and afterwards I have the energy for at least some tasks. Seldom all of them. But before it was none, so thats improvement. As I said, not a solution, but better than the starting point.

Personal hygiene: that is tricky. As with chores, look up other neurodivergent life-hacks. Try out which ones help you.

Hair: maybe get a different cut. I rock an undercut nowadays, and my very thick hair is less nasty because my head actually gets some air, I even enjoy growing it out on the top. I switched my shampoo to a block of solid-shampoo which I just rub over my scalp, also I need some conditioner and found one I don't need to rinse. You are supposed to use it after the shower. I use it inside, and rinse it partly because this was the only way the texture didn't give me sensory discomfort. I don't use it as advertised but this works for me

Brushing teeth: I still struggle at age mid-thirty, because in my country literally every adult toothpaste is mint-flavoured. Took me until last year to realize I have a mild allergic reaction to mint, like in my gums feel mildly on fire or like a rash, after brushing. (This is why you should take kids complaints about pain and discomfort serious, guys.) Try switching to a kids toothpaste and see if it helps with sensory issues. read that ingredient list: I can't stand mint, menthol, sodium-laural-sulfate (sls). Check if there is one with the same amount of fluor as an adult one or as in the pharmacy if they have some fluor gel stuff you can take weekly to top up.

Showering: never was a problem for me so all out of ideas? Is it a specific sensory trigger? If it's hair, try showering only neck down, a friend of mine also uses dry shampoo for their hair. Or use a washcloth instead of actually running water. Try sitting down in the shower, see if positioning helps. I didn't really have a self-awareness as a teenager of my body and how dirty it was or wasn't, or my own smell. So maybe like me, stick to a schedule: shower (or washcloth) on mon-wed-fri mornings, shower after excercise/on P.E. days; depending on the weekend plans either bath or shower on sat or sun.

Hope this helps in some way. Feel free to PM me, no matter how trivial or silly you think it may sound. Find ways to improve your quality of life on your terms.

Is it okay if my dad screams at me for having hygiene problems and not doing chores. I'm 16 and autistic(undiagnosed because he doesn't want to 'label' me), I go days without showering or brushing my hair at least partially due to sensory issues, as a result I often look messy. My dad tells at me for this

I also often forget to do chores around the house, this enrages my dad so he screams at me , sometime for almost an hour at a time. He said he wants to break my phone because of this.

What should I do?

Any advice from followers?
