A little experimental comic about growing up with undiagnosed ADHD. these are all based on real experiences I had, and were all products of misunderstood symptoms. Most of the time, I always felt like I was too much or not enough, which is confusing for a kid.

I finished this last year for a comic-making workshop I did, but I hesitated to post it because A) it's very personal and B) for fear of offending anyone that was around me when I was young, and missed the signs. The thing is, this isn't about blame because by and large, I had a lovely childhood. This is more about coming to terms with my struggles, and trying to accept myself as I am. I was diagnosed in my mid-thirties and felt validated for the first time in my life. I still feel this is important to share.

Anyway, I wanted to add more panels, and the ending was rushed due to time constraints, but I'm still pretty happy with it. Hope it helps someone.

(Leave me a tip if you like my work)

My Project Hail Mary rebind!! Showing some of the process of making it!

[lemoncatssss]

What I find fascinating is that when my sister watched Project Hail Mary she said it was just "an overrated kids movie"

and I think that's a really interesting piece of how a lot of culture interprets friendship and happy endings

Why is it a kids movie? Because there isn't much gore or romance or a lot of action or anything? Because the message is truly just "friendship wins"? Because nobody dies??

I think it really shows how people have been conditioned to see the whole friendship is magic/teamwork thing as childish when it really isn't!!! Hey man, even when you're an adult you need teamwork!!! Even if it doesn't solve everything, it's a valuable resource that helps a lot

I dunno I just heard that and needed to rant somewhere because I often forget people outside of Tumblr really do undervalue friendship so, so much

@aidonaiaa you need to see this

[gabeofcrows]

im so obsessed with the idea that kaz just reads everything for wylan, but in such a natural way that everyone forgets that it's because wylan can't read, and kaz kind of forgets that everyone else can read

kaz bringing in the newspaper saying 'look at this', slamming the paper down on the table for for everyone to see and announces the headline 'pekka rollins shits himself in the harbour'. it's just instinctual to read it out, even though everyone else at the table can read what it says

kaz going to restaurants with the crows and handing wylan a menu saying 'they've got that herb chicken you like'. then he scans it again and points to a couple of things that he also knows wylan likes, and it's so causal and conversational and wylan doesn't feel scrutinised, or as though he's being looked after

(kaz also starts point out things the others like before remembering that they can read the menu and then just stops talking)

kaz and wylan going to coffee shops and kaz goes 'what do you think you're gonna get' before they get there so that wylan doesn't panic inside the shop. and he doesn't leave room for wyan to ask him to read things out, because kaz knows he hates doing that. so they go and kaz just says 'you want syrup in your coffee? they've got vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut'

and it's just so easy and instinctual. it makes wylan feel normal, because being read to isnt a big part of what's going on. kaz just manages to easily slip it into conversation without thinking, as though he does it with everyone

(now imagine wylan isn't there and kaz begrudgingly gets waffles with another member of the dregs (he's getting soft) and immediately goes 'what sort of syrup do you like? because they've got apple, strawberry or chocolate, but it does say you can get a mix' and the dreg is like 'i know? the menu is right in front of me?' and kaz just kind of realises that he doesn't even think about doing it anymore)

(also imagine him getting a letter and some of the higher ranked dregs need to know about it, and instead of just giving them it to read, kaz starts just reading it out, and all of the other dregs are like 'isn't it easier is we just read it ourselves?' and kaz just pauses and wonders when he actually started hanging out with wylan so much that he's the only person he knows how to talk to)

reblog if you love ao3 exactly how it is and you don’t want it to “update” or change in any way♡

It doesn't matter if you wrote 5,000 or 50 words today.

It doesn't matter if all you did was day-dream about your characters while staring at the ceiling.

You are still a writer and your progress is valid.

Ryland Grace

[rylandgraceofficial]

coltland au. Colt is just starting his stunt career and is nervous about a specific stunt. so he goes to Ryland, because of course he does

Ryland: it’s just physics. just science.

Colt: if it’s that simple, you do it then

Ryland: absolutely not. i want to keep my feet on terra firma

Colt: so you’re saying when i’m a big star, you’re not going to fly to London and New York to be at the premieres?

Ryland, with a sigh: i’ll do that. but only for you. you’re the only one i’ll leave the ground for

Colt now thinks of this conversation most nights as he looks at the stars

I love how hard they committed to having the light source/s outside the ship spin while the centrifuge is active. I didn't even register that's what was happening the first time I watched, and I was kind of confused why they had such weirdly overdramatic lighting with no explanation.

but once I figured it out!! yes, the entire universe outside of the ship is rotating every few seconds. and yes, if there's a bright star or planet nearby that would cause a very disorienting cycle between bright light and total dark. and that's just what life would be like there!!! no apologies, no mitigation, not even any direct explanation for the audience. they just made it real and accepted the consequences

look at this one:

that's about SEVEN SECONDS of unexplained total darkness, in the middle of a full-face shot of the main character during the emotional climax of the film!!!
