he/they/neos, check pinned post for info - guy that likes to write and draw - pfp by official-bps! / i don't answer chain mail / on hiatus. stop telling everybody i'm dead

every now and then I think about the giant crocodile goddess from runescape and sigh dreamily

she literally just sits around all day eating delicious food, drinking wine out of a jug the size of a bath tub getting her pussy blasted like??? goals on every level

Lots of people in comments asking why the reptile has titties, but... Guys, she's inspired by the animal-headed, human-bodied Egyptian gods, ffs.

But on that note, this is probably the most natural-looking reptile with titties I've seen. Actual crocodiles have fat bellies, and they integrated that beautifully.

In fact, because of their ribcages going all the way down to their hips, it's impossible for any reptile *not* to have a fat belly. So, titties nothing--if you draw a reptile and it has a concave stomach, it's not accurate!

UH WHAT

UH…… WHAT………

This entire article is eye-opening, even as someone who has ADHD and has read a lot about it already. There’s so much more there than just the bit about the glucose-craving brain. SO. MUCH.

This might have been the bit that hit me hardest, actually:

it would be easy to misinterpret the following scenario as a standoff between two partners: Imagine that your partner asks you to pay the electric bill, and you say to yourself, “OK, I have time to do that today.” But when you sit down to do it, you keep getting distracted. The ADHD brain needs higher stimulation in order to complete this rote task with minimal payoff. Your ADHD brain says, “That task is way too boring, and I refuse to focus on it. Find something that interests me more, which offers me a bigger dopamine reward, and I’ll work with you.” It doesn’t matter that you know you should pay the bill as promised; if your brain won’t engage, it’s an ugly standoff. Perhaps, after a day of procrastination — when your partner will be home in 20 minutes and the bill is still unpaid — there may be enough of an adrenaline rush from a sense of crisis that your brain will engage and you pay the bill.
The ADHD brain and its owner are at odds with one another. It’s difficult to compel a disengaged brain to engage by force of will. In fact, much of the treatment for ADHD involves learning to psych out the brain, so that it will attend to necessary, low-stimulation tasks.
Appreciating the tug-of-war within that pits intellect against neurobiology increases compassion and acceptance for one’s hidden struggle.

I feel SEEN. OTZ

Seriously, though. Read the whole thing. It’s a good one.

Add to this that it’s not just that your brain says “I don’t want to”- the prefrontal cortex literally shuts OFF.

it’s so fucked up when you see something you KNOW is a portal to somewhere but you can’t figure out how to activate it. this is the most frustrating feeling that plagues modern man.

learning about a piece of media exclusively through tumblr posts is really funny because you'll probably get the wrong idea about the show in one of four very specific ways

  1. Thinking something fun and light-hearted is a deathly serious social commentary
  2. Thinking something dark or disturbing is actually a wacky comedy
  3. Thinking something with no gay people is actually gay
  4. Thinking something with gay people is homophobic

examples per the notes:

Fun, light-hearted series pitched as deathly serious

Dark or disturbing series pitched as wacky comedy

Series with no gay people pitched as gay

Series that does have gay characters and everyone talks about it like it's extremely homophobic
