An illustration i did for ChromaCorps 2024, an annual concept design competition held every summer! 30 days, 30 prompts, 24 hours to do each one. This was day 6. I think I made this in about 6-8 hours last year. It's a giant space knight with a black hole head and a broken constellation for a sword.

Incredible book alert for you all, since I know how many of my friends and followers are also neurodivergent. I've been requesting that our local library buy more ADHD and autism-friendly cookbooks aimed at adults, in an effort to find one that might help me with fixing my extremely broken relationship with food. And for a while it was a bit demoralizing because a lot of them are more recipe-focused, so I'd read them and go "Wow, this book is aimed at people like me and I can't eat any of this stuff, I must be even more broken than I thought"

Enter "How to Eat Well for Adults With ADHD" by Rebecca King.

I am about to sound like a sponsored ad, but this book is absolutely incredible. It's written by a nutritionist with ADHD, and does include some recipes, but they only make up a part of the third section of the book. The rest of it is focused on practical, broadly applicable advice for neurodivergent folks (and frankly, other disabled people) on unlearning internalized ableism around food, how to best organize your kitchen and meal plan (and what to do when meal plans fail), the connections between food and dopamine and how best to use food for stimulation in a healthy way, how hyperfocus and time blindness can get in the way of eating well, how to make sure you're eating enough while on stimulants, the fact that many ADHD people also have ARFID (and the book even emphasizes that ARFID is an eating disorder, not just "picky eating"!!), and takes the strong stance that we should do away with the idea of "picky eaters" altogether in favor of a more compassionate stance on people's complicated relationships with food and eating.

It is strongly anti-diet culture while still emphasizing that good nutrition is important. It has extremely specific tips that make my ADHD heart sing a little, like how best to store specific vegetables so they last the maximum amount of time in your fridge (since we are all very good at forgetting they are there) and what tools can make doing the dishes more manageable. And perhaps most importantly, as someone with severe sensory sensitivities and some very real trauma from having them ignored as a kid and being shamed for them, it made me cry a little bit with how understanding and compassionate it is.

Anyway. I am going to buy a copy of my own immediately, and I cannot recommend it enough. If you, like me, are trying to unfuck your eating habits and neat someone to hold your hand a little in the process -- while still making you feel like an adult, and still offering actionable tips along the way -- this book could be a lifesaver.

(And for those of you who use Instagram, the author has an account that's equally helpful and affirming over there, too, that I followed immediately, @/adhd.nutritionist)

A king who doesn't really want to and isn't able to run the kingdom properly catches wind of a noble woman who wants to kill him to take over and he realizes she is extremely competent so he decides to propose to her to save everyone the hassle and they have a surprisingly healthy relationship.

Why did nobody in Fullmetal Alchemist carry around some fucking backup transmutation circles. Like Riza is there with a box full of fresh gloves for Roy when he gets soaked but you’d think after the first time he got rendered useless in a fight by some dude with a water bottle he’d start carrying around a spare set in a waxed bag or something but NOOOOO. And Ed’s even fucking worse like his arm gets destroyed how many times???? AND HE ACTS SURPRISED EVERY TIME. OH NO MY ARM. NOW I CAN’T ALCHEMY. Shit, boy, draw some transmutation circles ahead of time and keep em in your coat, this isn’t hard. “Oh no, you’ve destroyed my arm again, whatever shall I SIKE” Ed says, before throwing a rock with ‘explode’ written on it at his attacker and making good his escape. Everyone’s always carving shit into their skin or drawing it in their own blood, HOW BOUT INSTEAD YOU CARRY A PIECE OF FUCKING CHALK. Alchemists are useless

Something that’s really good: worldbuilding tropes that expand the meaning of intimacy

im talking like...telepathic links between people, sending soothing images back and forth with the person you love, or asking to be allowed to experience a painful memory. Dream magic. Lying next to your lover dozing and letting your dream worlds intermingle.

I mean secret names that give someone the power to destroy you, I mean magical tattoos that write your story over your skin, visible to those to whom you reveal it. The bond between a dragon and rider, every movement in the air based in a foundation of pure trust. I mean an angel whose touch burns carefully wrapping his hands in cloth. I mean a human soothing their werewolf friend as they chain his hands and feet, reassuring I won’t look if you don’t want me to see you but remaining close enough to return after the ordeal is over with food and clothing. I mean an alien learning how to love a human, taking notes on nerve endings and the meanings of tears and the emotionally healing properties of chocolate. I mean learning to talk to trees and understand them, and having them understand you back.

I mean taking away all the things we think we know that love is and means and exploring it like it’s a new and unknown thing. THAT’s good stuff

I did it. After a lifetime of using light mode on all my devices, I switched to dark mode. My eyes just can’t take it anymore, and after a few days of using it, I decided dark mode was actually kind of cozy and nice. So it was time to update my light mode art with a new version!

its okay if youre not the best at your hobby. What should matter is if youre having fun. Even if you consider yourself bad at it. Know you will improve day by day. And maybe when you try that one thing you just couldn't get right the first time and realize "yo i can do that thing now!!"

Growth comes in many ways. So don't be afraid to pick up something you've never tried before!

I believe in you!
