When it’s done well and doesn’t deny Nine’s feelings toward Rose and Jack, I actually really fw aromantic spec nine
Something that never ever gets old for me is how PoI consistently redirects Reese's violence from the normal, crueler things we're used to seeing from action protagonists. The most obvious thing is him kneecapping people instead of killing them, of course, but it's a constant bit throughout the show.
You see him with blowtorch and someone he needs to get information out of, but then he starts burning the guy's money instead and it's just as effective. He tells people that he has a dangerous substance (acid, nitroglycerin, etc.) and then takes advantage of their panic when he throws what's actually water or corn syrup or something on them. He got kidnapped by a dirty cop? He shoots the cop only AFTER making sure the cop is wearing his bulletproof vest. He's in a life or death struggle with an agent sent to kill him? He intentionally stabs the guy in such a way that he can get to the hospital for treatment *if* he leaves Reese alone, and he tells the agent this. He has a disgusting abusive US Marshal tied up in his trunk. Does this mean murder is inevitable?? Nope! He's gonna dump him in a Mexican prison!
It's so refreshing to see these exercises in restraint, because so often the Dark Brooding Hero has no mercy and leaves a wake of death and torture that we just choose not to think about. Yeah, John Reese leaves a wake of chaos and property damage and business for orthopedic surgeons, but he's not a murderer anymore, and that's the whole point.
this has been sitting in my ibispaint for a while and has been sitting in my head for even longer so i thought i’d share
huge fan of the depth of a good purple but another area that draws me is definitely around aquamarine/turquoise/seafoam. you can not go wrong once the green starts getting just a tinge more blue. a gal could certainly do worse than to pull over there and stay a while
something earth shattering going on here
this is why one of my favorite all-time paintings is Ship in Stormy Seas by Ivan Aivazovsky... he was really onto something there
a close up to just... light shining through those waves, makes me feel faint with exhilaration every time
THERE IS A BOAT BY IVAN AIVAZOVSKY!!
Ivan Aivazovsky could paint glowing water. One of the GOATs for sure.
There's a bunch of adhd advice out there that's like "people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done" and it's like well what if I don't want to be stressed out all the time in order to function
this gold shouldn't stay in the comments
hey loves, I’ve been reading through the comments and loads of people are asking how to not fall into this pattern because that’s all they know. so, here’s some advice from Auntie Pan who’s been in the trenches (stress-caused disabilities and chronic illnesses).
context: grew up in an abusive, controlling home, escaped to uni, had a prolonged mental breakdown, became a teacher and worked in a dysfunctional school with amazing kids and nightmare management for years. I did not realise I have adhd and autism for a long time. (You might even be able to scroll back through this blog to find the time around which I did realise lol.)
ANYWAY, things that have helped me because my body can no longer handle any kind of stress without flaring up:
If you’re doing anything that requires you to do a lot of prep before you begin the actual thing (e.g. cooking, deep cleaning a room, moving house), mise en place. That’s a fancy french way of saying get everything ready before you begin. So if I’m cooking idk spaghetti carbonara, that means fry and chop the bacon, separate the egg yolks from the whites, put water in the kettle, put dry spaghetti into a pan. Once everything’s ready, it reduces the mental load and means I can focus on the actual cooking and any clean up that I can do along the way. H/t to @ms-demeanor for this, you changed my life!
the Might As Well rule. This one works really well for me but you gotta be careful otherwise you’ll get sucked into the Vortex. Basically, let’s imagine you’re in the bathroom, brushing your teeth. You notice that the extra roll of toilet paper has been used. instead of thinking, “I’ll get to that later”, and then forgetting about it until you sit down on the bog (no judgement, we’ve all been there), you think “Might As Well put an extra roll while I’m here!” This tends to help with the little tasks that build up over time. This Does Not Work for big tasks.
Leading on from no.2, Do It Immediately/ASAP really helps me too. My current boss will email me on a Friday and say, ‘don’t reply to this now! Leave it til monday!’ But she and i both know that if i leave it til monday, I will forget and get stressed and this will make me Very Ill. So, instead, the moment i receive the email, I’ll either schedule in replying to it as soon as I’m done with my current thing, OR I’ll reply to it immediately.
Anything that can’t be actioned immediately, i mark as Unread. Anything Unread in my inbox is a future action, and i check those Unread emails/texts/whatevers Every. Day. To make sure whether today is the day i have the info to action it. (This also means i have to stay on top of my inbox. I read all my emails and then mark them accordingly. I’m also brutal with unsubscribing)
The House Always Wins. Both in a literal sense, because i am in a constant battle with keeping my house clean, and i know now that I’ll never get it as clean as i want it. It’s impossible, i no longer have the energy or stamina to vacuum and scrub everything. But also just in a life sense. I’m never going to achieve things to perfection, and perfect is the opposite of done. And getting things done is that much more important when you have limited energy and strength. Accept that you often have to half-arse life in order to Full-Arse the few things that really matter to you.
Have multiples of everything, everywhere. I wear support gloves, so i need to have handcream at every sink and everywhere i sit down in the house. I try to keep it unobtrusive, but it means i don’t have to trek upstairs just to moisturise my hands. Gum, phone chargers, pens and pencils, water bottles, hand sanitizer, whatever you need.
Work with people, even if it’s online. Body doubling actually works. Also I’ve found that if I’m working on assignments, taking myself to a library or study area that isn’t my bedroom helps so much.
Show off! Tell people on here or elsewhere in your life about the fact that you’ve just written 100 words! Or that you’ve cleaned the fridge and that’s a really big deal for you. Celebrate your wins, no matter how small.
Basically, you’re aiming to reduce the mental load as much as possible. Wear the same types of clothes all the time to minimise the amount of laundry. Eat the same three lunches so decision fatigue doesn’t take over.
All of this takes time to implement and it is cumulative, but i hope it helps. Reading the comments on this post, i finally understand why adhd is comorbid with so many other conditions. let’s take care of each other <3
I'm so glad to hear that helped you!
For anybody looking for resources from someone dealing with actual ADHD, I have an incomplete but ever growing list of ADHD tips, tools, and suggestions on my website.
A lot of the pages on that site are adapted from my tumblr posts, for instance I'm adapting this post about car repair projects with ADHD into a guide on project management and completion with ADHD.
(Red links are stuff that I've got planned but haven't published for reasons that are probably clear to anyone looking for ADHD advice online)
I'm not well about them so I made an edit.
the ninth doctor always goes crazy to me because he wasn't an ambivalent god. he was the benevolent, scarred, and cynical god who cared because he couldn't not— what if no one else did? if he didn't do something, no one else would. he was the one with the power, the responsibility, and it hurt him constantly. every life he watched burn out was a tragedy. EVERY one. he kissed a servant girl on the head who no one would remember. he closed the eyes of a dead man. he mourned a pig the military shot. he cared for them all, no matter how insignifigant and fleeting their lives could have seemed to his. he knew the weight of his actions. he wasn’t all powerful and untouchable as time and ppl passed around him. he wasn’t above them. he walked among them n cradled them gently. he was a little mean and a little rude and a lot angry but he also had so much joy. he loved knowing he'd lose. and when he regenerated, he simply looked to rose with that big grin on his face and told her she was fantastic & and so was he — considerate in even his final breaths
The reason the TARDIS doesn't translate the Judoon is because despite looking like a police box, it refuses to talk to cops.
Doctor Who is so funny because like. This is a mother-daughter duo. The younger one is the mother.
This is the same mother-daughter duo. They grew up together.
“Martha is better” “Rose is obviously better”
Why pit two bad bad bitches against each other, they should kiss
Just got into Doctor Who and I need more people to put some respect on 9. Why was he only given one season?!?!
JUST LOOK AT HIM!
PUT SOME RESPECT ON MY DOCTOR!
Like, don't get me wrong, I get why 10 is a lot of people's favorite (you can never go wrong with David Tennant), I just wish there was more love for the 9th Doctor.

my contribution for today (graphic design is my burden <3)
