About the whole ADHD "finding a way to motivate yourself without using the stress of impending deadlines" thing:

I hate to say it, but learning to be nicer to myself changed a lot of that for me. I really truly hate to say it. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you gotta find a way to be nicer to yourself inside your own head, in whatever way works for you. I know it sucks so bad to hear.

The other thing is, if my brain is really refusing to tackle a task, often times the main thing I'm feeling is confused and understimulated. Which leads to me sitting there with the jeopardy theme song playing in my head, and then I unconsciously gravitate towards something that's more stimulating and therefore easier to wrap my head around. So overstimulating myself in some sensory way helps me be less confused about what I needed to do. Everybody's brain is different, though.

And uhh the other thing that helped is concerta, and listening to my body, and working on not being so ashamed when I failed. Which means you will probably have to fail a little bit unfortunately

today I learned that "alice cooper" was the name of the band first and then later when they split the frontman had his name legally changed to alice cooper so he could get the rights to the music. this gives me inspiration for another way that roger waters could've made life so much worse for everyone when pink floyd broke up

im still thinkign hard about how to shuffle the sages abilities, the inclusion of thunder and time is making it all the more messy tbh

but thinking of gameplay, what would you think is more fun to have as a sages ability? (keep in mind that zelda already has a shield ability)

OC ask meme, 4&8: how did you come up with your OC? (Hope I'm asking/following instructions correctly)

You are, don't worry! Creation-related questions are good too!

4. Ophelia was an MC in a game called Seven Kingdoms: A Princess Problem. It's a stat-raising visual novel where you can raise different attributes in the prologue to build your character's background, then travel to an island where the seven kingdoms are meeting to form alliances and such. This is also where Houki was originally from.

Ophelia's type build was called the Ambitious Widow. Despite her family being of noble blood, they still are quite poor, so she has to social climb a lot to make sure her family stays afloat. In her social climbing escapades, she is briefly married until her husband succumbs to death (either by accident or by... 'accident'). After his death, she has to social climb again to make sure her family thrives, coming across the news of the seven kingdoms gathering and she figures this is her way of finding a way to support her family for good if she can snag a richer noble or even a prince, if she can manage it.

She was my third build in the game, after playing blind with Houki, then as another MC when I understood the game's mechanics. Both Houki and the other MC were very sweet and endearing, but I also wanted to explore a darker route in the game, have a character that wasn't so innocent and kind, even if I eventually did soften her a lil bit for when I moved her into IkeSen.

8. Takashi is one of my oldest OCs (both in the literal sense as he's over thousands of years old, and in a physical sense since he was created when I was a teenager.) His original iteration was my RP self-insert's dad, because the insert needed parents, thus Takashi's creation.

He was a fallen angel, accused of a crime he didn't commit and is working his way back into being a full-fledged angel. Along the way, he meets his future wife and long-lost half-brother, Haiiro.

He is very sweet, if a bit of an airhead sometimes. He's also a magical wizard that can do old-school FF style magic, mainly focusing in the healing magics, but can do attack stuff too.

Haven't done much with him recently, but I did do a Fictober for him back in 2020, so there's that.

Thanks for the ask!
