Well, they brought him back, sadly no memories of Pomni though.
Cute! š„°
itās december 1 whereās the christmas tail kitten bring him to me
Not gonna lie, I thought December was tomorrow, yesterday.
ADHD time blindness be like "oh, today is the 30th? that's fine, December is still next month, that's forever away!
...what do you mean tommorrow?"
I have both adhd and autism and I have never found a better metaphor than this as of yet.
And now for something completely different.
This is the ADHD Teapot. I made it in a ceramics class a few years ago. I use it to explain executive dysfunction to people who havenāt come across the term before (and those who think of ADHD mostly as Hyperactive Eight Year Old Boy Syndrome).
So, most peopleās brains are like a regular shaped teapot with a single spout. Letās say that your time, energy, focus etc is the liquid you have in the teapot. Your executive function is the spout, that directs the tea into the specific cup you want to fill-aka the task that youāre meant to be doing. Spills happen occasionally, but generally most of the tea goes in the right cup.
If you have executive dysfunction, (a symptom of ADHD, trauma, autism, schizophrenia etc.) you have multiple spouts going in different directions. You can try pointing one of them at your chosen cup and you will probably get some liquid in there, perhaps you will even fill it right up (finish the task). But meanwhile, tea is also pouring out of several other places and not going where you want it. If you have another container nearby, perhaps some of it will end up in there. But quite a lot of it is going to end up on the floor and accomplish nothing.
And at the end of the day youāll have filled one or two cups ( or sometimes not even one) compared to the five or six that somebody with the same sized teapot (but only one spout) has filled, and everyone wonders why youāre so bad at getting tea poured, and why you make such a mess in the process.
One day Iād like to spend more time learning pottery and create a really technically good fucked up little adhd teapot. But thatās a long way off since i currently live in the outback and the nearest pottery workshop is some 400km away. But I figure that for now, it might be a useful or interesting metaphor to somebody even in its rough draft form.
This post is the cup I filled instead of cleaning my house btw.
ao3 turns 15 today
reblog if youre older than ao3
(there's a lot of people asking about this, but the legal age to use social media is 13, except in few countries. so yes, there are people here under 15)
getting a note on a super old post
I canāt make gifs either someone do this because seriously itās an amazing vision! Yāall we need this to be made!
Super obsessed with Taylor Swiftās āI Can Do It with a Broken Heart,ā and really wishing that I knew how to make gifsets (or had time to learn), because if I did, I would absolutely be making a gifset of Luke Skywalker in the OT with the lyrics of this song.
In fact, Iām so obsessed with this idea that Iām going to storyboard it out and hope that an actual gifmaker gets inspired and makes this a reality, LOL:
Frame 1:
Text: āCause Iām a real tough kid / I can handle my shit
Gif: Luke flying the Death Star trench run and/or making the shot that blows up the Death Star
Frame 2:
Text: They said, ābabe, you gotta fake it ātil you make itā / And I did
Gif: Luke hugging Leia and Han after blowing up the Death Star
Frame 3:
Text: Lights, camera, bitch, smile / Even when you want to die
Gif: Luke and Leia smiling at each other during the Yavin medal ceremony
Frame 4:
Text: He said heād love me for all time
Gif: Anakin smiling at Padme after she tells him sheās pregnant
Frame 5:
Text: But that time was quite short
Gif: Vader cuts Lukeās hand off in ESB
Frame 6:
Text: Breaking down I hit the floor / All the pieces of me shattered
Gif: Luke writhing in agony as Palpatine electrocutes him
Frame 7:
Text: As the crowd was chanting, āMOREā
Gif: Shot of Palpatine himself as he electrocutes Luke with Force lightning
Frame 8:
Text: I was grinning like Iām winning / I was hitting my marks
Gif: Leia and Luke smiling at each other on Endor right after heās seen the Force ghosts
Frame 9:
Text: āCause I can do it with a broken heart
Gif: Lukeās face as he watches Vaderās armor burn on the funeral pyre
DO YOU SEE MY VISION?
Yup yup I love seeing it!
Could you reblog this if you enjoy seeing your writer friends ramble about their wips on your dash?
Reblog to *boop*
I laughed so loud my coworker turned to look at me and asked if I was okay. ššš
Because Iāve lost control of my life
Ok Iām being so brave about it but a couple of days ago I saw this post claiming that the Jedi saying āthis weapon [your lightsaber] is your lifeā is emblematic of āthe Jediās failure as peacekeepersā (not an exact quote but pretty close) because why would a weapon be the life of a peacekeeper?
And like. The Jedi are a culture. Theyāre a religion.
You know that, right? You know that many cultures, including generally peaceful ones, have sacred weapons, right? You know that the bond between a Jedi and their crystal(s) is an extremely sacred thing that requires the consent of both parties and is integral to their way of life, right?
You know that lightsabers are not intended to be only for killing, right? That the first thing Luke learns to do with his lightsaber is to shield and defend? You know that a culture having sacred weapons doesnāt mean that they view killing as sacred, right?
Not trying to start shit, I donāt even remember who said it, but ugh
Snippet from chapter 11 of You Are Safe, You Are Home
Luke sighed as he sat planning out his garden while Din sat through council meetings. He hadnāt wanted Din working blindly so he decided to finally start planning out his garden. Ideally heād like trees in it. Brylark, Dewdrop, Heart Berry, and Willow, specifically.
Brylark because he had a Wookie Padawan already who specifically wanted his lightsaber hilt to be wooden and it would be nice to have access to it for his temple, even at the cost of his own personal garden. Dewdrop because they were pretty and he really liked the fruit on the one occasion he had gotten to try it. Heart Berry in case he didnāt feel like the Dewdrop fruit, and Willow because it was an important part of folklore on Casieyās home world.
Sadly because they were underground he likely couldnāt have trees in it, so heād skip them entirely, even if something felt so right about adding trees to it. He supposed he could do two versions, one for if they could grow trees and one without. He'd have to talk to Din about it tonight.
He stretched as he leaned back in his chair. So far heād planned mostly flowers, some ivy, and ferns. He wanted to add a few herbs here and there, but he wasnāt sure what to add specifically. Maybe some nysillin or twin-scented natterbloom? Behot was originally native to Mandalore; maybe he could plant some in his garden.
Luke sighed. He was getting nowhere with this.
Staring at the hologram of the garden so far he brushed his fingers over the flickering image of Queen's Heart. He had so many other flowers, multiple types of roses, black lilies, bluebell squish, aura blossoms, millaflower, vomur, vanserv, sunburst, sun-dew.
Star flowers would be hard to find now that Alderaan was gone but if anyone could do it it was Din.
So many other flowers heād added, but he kept bringing himself back to Queenās Heart, the flower his mother had planted all over Theed when she was Queen.
A choked sob escaped his throat. He wanted his mom right now. Wanted her to hold him and tell him everything was going to be okay. Tell him how she and his father managed to make things work when they had to be separated almost all the time. Maybe give him some tips about ruling an entire planet? He wasnāt sure, he just wanted his mother. Wanted some memory of her or something to keep her with him.
I consider the sequels Disney fanfiction, but I do enjoy watching them, I just wouldnāt pick the sequels over the prequels or original trilogy.
And I am refering to all of star wars and not just select parts of it. Even if you have issues with parts of it, you still enjoy it.
It was time to get spoopy back in July people! Hell yes itās time!
ššš Given Han pretended a rock was a thermal detonator, I have no doubt he pulled the same stunt with a bottle of coke
just learned that coke as in coca-cola as in the famous carbonated soda is canon in star wars and frankly I am upset

Ah darn, I just singed on and saw this. Good night PadmĆ©, Iād have happily talked to you if you were still awake.

Absolutely dogshit article on the fucking awful new york times today, just disgusting tone throughout basically implying no contact with your abusive family is a social media trend, and often done by frivolous reasons
Instead of the horrible but LIFE SAVING choice a lot of us are basically forced into
It makes me fucking sick that they thought it was okay to speak to "estranged parent's organisations" - would you seek out the POV of other types of abusers too? Think they're gonna do anything but justify their abuse and lie?
Watching star wars episode one and seeing baby Anakin reminds me of all the sweet little boys I went to school with that grew into violent misogynistic men
