A dumping ground for my personal art projects while learning graphic design

[crafty-butch]

having one of those executive function days where everything is too many steps

[crafty-butch]

by which i mean, like, here's how my brain parses the steps in making coffee

good day:

make coffee

regular day:

put water in coffee maker

put coffee in coffee maker

turn on coffee maker

bad day:

take pot from coffee maker

turn on sink

fill up coffee pot

turn off sink

pour water into coffee maker

put coffee pot in coffee maker

open cupboard

get coffee filter from cupboard

get coffee beans from cupboard

put filter in coffee pot

measure coffee

pour coffee into filter

close coffee maker

turn coffee maker on

anyway this is a "14 steps to make coffee" kind of day

[kieraelieson]

This is actually a really good way of explaining this

when your cat licks his paw…then rubs his head with the paw… wow….that’s his shmapoo and conditioner…..

Niko when you're rude to NB folk.

Talk shit get trapped in the gender zone.

(oh and believe me I haven't forgotten about himbo elf, these two new walkers feels like alot of love were put in them from backstory and even integration of powers and new takes at the colours. As a Vorthos you love to see it)

I searched for HOURS today for a text post I saw the other night that said “my pronouns are fuck around/find out” but the more I searched the more I realized I must have dreamed it and it was really disappointing

[gallifreyanwriter]

well I made my dream a reality

Ok so I've found a way to describe what Neurodivergent Can't Do Task Mode™ feels like to neurotypicals

So you know how you can't make yourself put your hand down on a hot stovetop? There's a part of your brain that stops you from doing that? That's what Neurodivergent Can't Do Task Mode™ feels like

Even if we want to do it, there's a barrier stopping us from doing it, and it's really hard to override

And why does our brain see the task as a hot stovetop? Because when neurotypicals finish a task, they get serotonin, but we don't get that satisfaction after completing a task. A neurotypical wouldn't get serotonin from putting their hand on a hot stovetop, it would just hurt. When we can't do a task, it's because our brain knows that the task will hurt (metaphorically) and wants to avoid that.

It's not that we're choosing not to do the task, it's that our brain is physically preventing us from doing it.

Neurotypicals can and should reblog but please don't add anything

(Sorry/not sorry about the random bolding, it makes it easier for us to read)

[dovewithscales]

Oh that’s a great example. It’s not even really a metaphor in some cases. Because this is exactly what some of our brains are doing. For one reason or another the brain thinks that the task in question is dangerous or harmful and the mechanism keeping us from doing it is a survival mechanism.

[vibinwitch]

There really is no relief in trying to complete tasks such as

Household chores

Homework

Applying for work

Playing video games

Making art

(Yes even tasks we like have no joy half the time)

Doing basic adult things

Shopping

Going out (on dates, to fun places, the pool, etc).

(I can't count the amount of times I left the house for several hours and came back home still feeling the same way if not worse)

It all feels like trying to force myself to touch a hot or even sharp object. It SUCKS

This is about executive dysfunction, which people with autism also struggle with.

Gamefreak: Here’s the same game again but with added content that you can’t transfer your save data to for full price.

Pokemon fans for the past 20 years: Yeah ok that’s awesome and totally worth it.

Gamefreak: Here’s the same thing but you pay less and keep your old save data cause it’s dlc instead. Pokemon fans now: This is actually the worst thing ever and gamefreak is a horrible company how dare they sell me a product.
